Number Zero in Chinese

The word 零[líng] means zero.

The pronunciation of 零[líng] sounds like a bell ringing.

Therefore, I create a sentence based on the bell “ling” sound in order to introduce the vocabulary and sentence construction.

零零零 [líng, líng, líng],	"Ring, ring, ring"
按门铃 [àn mén líng],	press the door bell,
门铃响不停 [mén líng xiǎng bù tíng].	the doorbell rings non-stop.

按[àn] /v. to press     门[mén] /n. door      铃[líng] /n. bell     门铃[mén líng] /n. doorbell     响[xiǎng] /v. to make a noise     不[bù] / not     停[tíng] /v. to stop

The sentence above has four features as follows:

1. Both "zero" 零[líng] and "bell" 铃[líng] have the same pronunciations.
2. Both "zero" 零[líng] and "bell" 铃[líng] are stemmed from the same phonetic root of "order" 令[lìng].
3. Notice that 零[líng], 铃[líng], 停[tíng] have the same Final. They are in rhyme.
4. 门铃[mén líng] is repeated in succession within the sentence creating a verbal ringing effect.

Four phrases to do with 零[líng]:

零容忍 [líng róng rěn] /zero tolerance 零互动 [líng hù dòng] /zero interaction 零自尊 [líng zì zūn] /zero self-esteem 零信心 [líng xìn xīn] /zero confidence
