First, the number of couplets is ingenious. Some people visited the Duxiu Peak in Guilin, rested in the pavilion, pointed to the hexagonal pavilion and made a couplet for their companions: "One corner is sharp and there are six corners on all sides", and another tourist made a couplet: "Two fists are arched, two fingers are short and three fingers are long", which is more neat and natural.
Second, Fo Yin cleverly to Su Xiaomei. When Fo Yin talks with Su Dongpo, he often gets carried away. Su Xiaomei deliberately wanted to satirize monks, so he made a couplet: "People used to be monks, and they can become Buddhists." Fo Yin thought for a moment and said, "Women are not as good as handmaids, and they can also be called slaves." Su Dongpo repeatedly applauded, which is really good.
Third, contemporary workers are famous in the Qing Dynasty. There is a picture of Wangjiang Tower in Chengdu: Wangjiang River flows downstream, and the river flows through the ages. For more than a hundred years, no one can be right. 1964, in the poetry competition held in Wangjianglou, a young worker got the bottom line: the poetry stage is the only stage that can compete for poetry, and the poetry stage is peerless. If you don't care about the requirements of leveling, then you are smart.
Fourth, change couplets skillfully. There is a corrupt official who always flaunts honesty. The corrupt official posted a couplet at his door: Love the people like children and enforce the law like mountains. A wise man added a sentence to the upper and lower couplets, which read: Love the people like children, and gold and silver are my sons; Law enforcement is like a mountain, and Qian Shan is a mountain. This change really shows the true face of its corrupt officials.
Fifth, touch the scene and complete the old pair. When Zhu Yuanzhang was a shepherd boy, he often went to school. He especially likes teachers to teach students to pair up. After a long time, the teacher also liked this cowboy. Before he died, the teacher handed the first picture to Zhu Yuanzhang, saying that I had written the first one for more than ten years, but it still didn't conform. You can match it for me when you think about it. This couplet is: "three soil tests the old man." Zhu Yuanzhang has been wrong for a long time. Later, he became emperor. Later, at a birthday party, I saw five children come to pay homage to their birthdays. Remembering that these five princes all love to play, I can't help but be moved by it, shouting wonderfully, and matching it with the couplet given by the teacher: "Five kings make pipa." That's great.
6. Mid-Autumn Festival in the first half and Mid-Autumn Festival in the second half. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, a scholar made a couplet: "There is a full moon in the sky, half a month on the ground, and the full moon meets half a month." No matter how hard scholars think, they can't get it right. Until the end of the year, a scholar was right: "Tonight is the end of the year, tomorrow is the end of the year, and year after year is the end of the year." This pair is simple and clear, which is really a coincidence.
Seven, execution. Jin Shengtan once borrowed scriptures from an old monk. Knowing that it was difficult for him to ask questions when he went to college, the old monk made a couplet: "2: 30 in the middle of the night" and didn't want to be stumped by Jin Shengtan. Later, Jin Shengtan committed a capital crime for crying about food. When the Mid-Autumn Festival was about to be executed, he suddenly remembered that the second couplet was "Mid-Autumn Festival in August", which was wonderful. Unfortunately, he can no longer approve Buddhist scriptures for the old monk.
Eight, Wang Xizhi anti-theft couplet. On New Year's Eve, Xizhi wrote a picture of Spring Festival couplets: spring breeze, spring rain and spring scenery, a new year and a new scene. I don't want to be exposed soon after posting, and then write: Ti Ying Beili, adjacent to the south of Yu Yan. It was taken away after it was posted. Xizhi thought about it and posted such a couplet: happiness never comes in pairs, but it never rains alone. Sure enough, I didn't dare to disclose it. At the dawn of the Spring Festival, the Xihe River continued and became: "There is no happiness in the present, but it never rains but it pours." It's great to see the neighbors on the street.
Nine, the taste of drum couplets. One year, the Lantern Festival coincided with a light rain, and a county magistrate and a friend gave a banquet. A friend wrote a pair of couplets: "The moon is not seen in the Yuan Dynasty, so light a few lamps to make Kun Hui." The county magistrate couldn't meditate for a moment, but suddenly he heard gongs and drums. He was overjoyed and immediately said to himself, "I have never heard of thunder. The sound of beating gongs and drums represents Xuanwei." This is really natural and interesting.
Ten, thousands of miles to send a wonderful connection. At the request of young people, Xu Teli sent a couplet thousands of miles away: "It is useless to read books about countries often to express Lao Xu's concern and expectation for the younger generation."
Eleven, wonderful hand supplement. On Kang Youwei's 50th birthday, the conservative Zhejiang faction sent him a couplet, insulting him: "The country will die, but it is for the sake of the country.". Disciples are furious and want to tear up couplets. Liang Qichao hurriedly stopped it, and he added four words to make it: "The country will die and be loyal, and the old will not die for the people." Everyone was full of praise after reading it.
12. Aunt is right. Once upon a time, there was an aunt who loved to fight for fun. One day, my sister-in-law went back to her family and went to play with her. Her maiden name is Du, and her sister-in-law has a sister named Doudou. When she saw the guests, she went to Miao Broad Bean to entertain them. This bean is greedy, and it is eaten while frying. Sister-in-law saw it and smiled and said to her, "Du Doudou fried beans to eat beans and put them in his stomach." When my sister-in-law heard that she was a sister-in-law, it happened that a child named Niu Niu passed by next door and blurted out, "Liu Niu Niu is riding a cow on the cow slope and herding cattle." This is really a clever battle.
Thirteenth, Fo Yin was jealous. Su Dongpo and other literary friends once invited Fo Yin to the West Lake for a drink. It is agreed in advance that drinking should be carried out according to law. It is agreed that the first sentence is silent, with two ancient names embedded in the middle, and the ending is reasonable. If you can't arrive on time, you must pay for the drinks. Dongpo opened his mouth and said, "The pen falls silently. I looked up and it was Guan Zhong. Guan Zhong asked Uncle Bao why he didn't grow bamboo. Uncle Bao said, "It only takes three or two poles, and the breeze is enough." Qin Shaoyou went on to say, "The snow fell silently. When I looked up, I saw Leitian. Leitian asked Lian Po why he didn't keep geese. Lian Po said, "White hair floats green water, and red palms stir clear waves." Huang Valley also went on to say, "A moth puts out a fire silently, and looks up at Confucius. Confucius asked Yan Hui why he didn't grow plums. Yan Hui said, "In the past, a branch of Zita Law Zhai blossomed last night." Finally, it was Fo Yin's turn. He said, "The sky was silent. He looked up and saw Guanyin. Guanyin asked how the Dharma monk approached. Dharma said: "When you see a guest, your head is like a turtle, and when you fast, your neck is like a goose." The result was neck and neck, and everyone paid for the drinks. Dongpo is bent on playing tricks on Fo Yin. When the boat reached the middle of the lake, there was not much food. Dongpo had a brainwave and made a number sequence. He said, "28 16, eat a piece of meat first." Say that finish, you're welcome to clip a piece of meat. Huang Luzhi looked at it and immediately said, "2918, both sides together?" Then I also sent two pieces of meat to my mouth. Seeing that the plate was empty, Fo Yin frowned, picked up a plate of vinegar and drank it. He said, "I don't know how to count, but I ate a plate of vinegar." The two laughed and said.
Fourteen, Jin Yong talks about couplets: When Lu Wenliang was an official in Zhejiang, he drank with his colleague Kyle. When he saw that Chen was bald, he laughed at him: "Professor Chen counts his hair and does nothing." Kyle immediately said to him, "Lord Lu has a beard all over his face. Why is he doing this? " He is good at using idioms. Lu said with a smile, "Two apes cut a tree, and this monkey can cut a sentence." Chen said with a smile, "The horse is stuck in the mud. How can this beast have hooves? " The two clapped their hands and laughed.
According to legend, when Liu Shaoyi was a child, one day he and his teacher visited the famous Luo Sichun. ROM out to yue:
There is thousands of books in the family, and the jade pavilion does not forget the sixteen characters;
Less escape right way:
I was arrogant and left Nishan alone.
Imperial court refers to Shunting court. According to legend, Shun was a wise master in ancient times, so he often used "Yu Ting" instead of "Sheng Chao". Sixteen-character refers to the book "Great Mo Yu", in which "the human heart is only in danger, the Taoist heart is only tiny, but the essence is unique, and it is contained in the middle". Song Confucianism regarded these sixteen characters as the personal moral cultivation and the principles of governing the country and politics recited by Yao, Shun and Yu. Nishan, originally the name of the mountain, is in Qufu, Shandong Province, and now refers to Confucius. This couplet uses two methods: allusions and metonymy. It is shocking that Liu Shaoyi competed to speak in such a tone in front of his predecessors at an early age.
The Grand View Building on the bank of Dianchi Lake in Kunming has long been famous at home and abroad. Jumping onto the roof, you can see the winding and turbid sleeping Foshan and the endless and steaming Dianchi Lake. Throughout the ages, scholars, poets and painters have attached paintings to this poem, and countless people have stopped for it. But the most impressive thing is the long string of couplets written on the pillars of Daguanlou. The upper and lower couplets are as long as 180 words, which can be called the best couplets in Chinese history. Seen from the lake, these long couplets are like two golden dragons wrapped around a jade pillar, winding up and down, leaping and soaring. Seeing the beauty of the Western Hills and the victory of Dianchi Lake is better than guide maps such as Introduction to Dianchi Lake, Scenery of the Western Hills and Overlooking Longmen.
The first part: 500 miles of Dianchi Lake rushed to my eyes, draped on the shore, and rejoiced in the vastness. The east sees immortals and the west sees ghosts and gods; North and south winds. Master Yun, why don't you choose to win! When the crab island is wrapped in Luozhou, it will be windy, foggy and flatter. It will be decorated with some green feathers and Danxia. Don't admire yourself in the fragrant rice around you, it will turn into a clear sand, a whip in nine summers, and a willow in three springs.
The second part: the thousand-year-old events are remembered in my heart, and the wine is empty, sighing who is the hero. I want to learn the shipbuilding of Han dynasty and mark the iron column of Tang dynasty; Song holds a jade axe and Yuan carries a leather bag. Great achievements, great power to move mountains! As far as bead curtain painting is concerned, the building is not as heavy as dusk rain, so the monument is broken, all for the sake of pale smoke, and only a few pestles, half a river fishing, two rows of autumn geese and a pillow to clear the frost.
This couplet depicts the scenery, summarizing the majestic momentum of Dianchi Lake in 500 miles and the magnificent scenery up and down the western hills. Report the whole picture and summarize it completely. The history written in the second part, from Han Dynasty to Yuan Dynasty, stretches for thousands of years, covering Tang Zong's great achievements in Hanwu and Song Zuyuan. The wording and sentences of couplets are ingenious and neat, which can be called concise works. That is, the shadow is lyrical, and the feelings are born from writing landscapes and writing history.
Looking at couplets from top to bottom, they are all wonderful words. Read the upper and lower couplets separately, and each becomes a good poem. Do it separately, and you will be a perfect match. Since this couplet was carved on the top of a long column, it has been famous for moxibustion. With the same name as Dianchi Lake, they complement each other.
The author of this couplet is Sun Ranweng.
Sichuan "Bashu Ghost Talent" offered a reward of 20,000 yuan for Erlian.
The 6th Zigong International Dinosaur Lantern Festival "Light of the Century" is just around the corner. Wei Minglun, who has worked and lived in Zigong for 40 years, is full of passion and homesickness, and wrote more than 200 words of "Spring Lantern Fans" for the next couplet.
Li Anyun: Three wonders of the ancient city: lanterns in 800, salt wells in 2000 and billions of dinosaurs. Three wonders of the Lantern Festival: watching the lantern show on horseback, the ancient Aoguang Dengshan, shooting tigers and guessing fans. Life is like a mystery, and time is like a lamp. The princess on the stage is guessing that no one is sleeping tonight; Couples in the garden watch the lights, and there is an appointment in the Ming Dynasty. Ordinary people are busy with seven things all year round, and the midnight garden in the new Millennium has become a million stars. A drop in the Xinghai, a chess piece in the literary world. I shared my life's worries with my elders and enjoyed fireworks with my fellow villagers before the Spring Festival. Raise the lamp to welcome the 21st century and reread the twenty-fifth history. Praise the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature; Three friends, Mei, Zhu and Song, are singing for the cold age. Recalling Yao, Shun and Yu: Comments on Wei, Shu and Wu in Fengyun Three Kingdoms. Who will write a poem tonight? Open your eyes: "Eight thousand female ghosts, two rounds of sun and moon, double knives"! Laugh and ask who will continue? Please guess my answer.
According to the organizing committee, those who are interested in tapping can send their excellent works to the headquarters of Zigong Lantern Festival, and the best copy will be judged before the opening of the Lantern Festival on June 28th, 65438. The judges are Wei Minglun himself and experts from the Provincial Couplets Association, and the winner will receive a prize of 20,000 yuan. When the Lantern Festival opens, the upper and lower couplets will be displayed under the large lanterns of the Century Tree for world tourists to watch. (Excerpted from Xin 'an Evening News)

Su Dongpo said: Panasonic Go, pine nuts fall in the chess pieces. Huang Tingjian said to him: Fishing by the willow, fishing lines are often hung on the willow.
On the wedding night, I wanted to test the groom's ability, so I kicked Qin out and said, "Close the door, the bright moon is in the sky." . Qin Shaoyou hesitated, vacillating. When Su Dongpo saw this, he was anxious for his brother-in-law, but it was inconvenient to do it for him. Suddenly, he had a brainwave, picked up a stone and threw it into a flowerpot filled with clear water. When Qin Shaoyou heard the voice of "Botong", he suddenly realized and blurted out: Throw a stone to break the underwater sky. Su Xiaomei was overjoyed and hurried into the groom's room.
One day, Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen played chess. Zhu Chu said: Heaven is a chessboard star, and the sun and the moon win glory. Liu Bowen thought: Ray? Jiaomu? Hey? How can you sail? Would you like to live forever? What is this? Hey? /FONT & gt；
Tang Bohu and Zhu Zhishan went to the countryside on business and saw their husband's car and water. I would like to do the opposite: the waterwheel boils water, the water follows the car, and the car stops water. Tang dui said: fan fan wind, wind fan, fan fan. I wish the couple in the Tang Dynasty are really ingenious and will speak out for a while. In the first year of the apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty, Prime Minister Ye passed through Fuzhou and stayed at the home of the new champion Weng. Weng responded impromptu: spoil the cold door and live alone in the poor window. Ye Gao Xiang was surprised to see that the couplet was full of the word "Bao Gai", and then said, "The guest official lives in the palace and is rich in room capacity." . The next day, Weng sent Ye on his way. Passing by the pond, Ye said: Weng Gong said last night that the poor window was lonely. I don't think so. Look: There are seven ducks floating in the pond. Count three pairs. Weng Zheng Chun was unexpectedly captured by an army. He searched the pond and frowned. He immediately replied that a foot fish jumped into the water for nine inches and ten minutes. Say that finish, two people smile at one another.
When Xu Xi took office, the students were welcomed by the order. Students are born in poverty, and it is quite rude to meet with Xu. Shouling is angry in his heart, but he is against all the students: the red door breaks pomegranate and the seeds are sour. The students looked at each other and no one could be right. Xu replied: Bite the ginkgo and it will be white. The students are shocked. They dare not underestimate Xu Xi any more!
Gold, the door of the bamboo forest of the rich. On New Year's Eve, he posted a pair of Spring Festival couplets on the door: The door faces a thousand bamboos, and the family lives in thousands of books. When the rich man saw it, he had the bamboo cut down. Jie Jin fully understood its meaning and added a sentence to each couplet: The door is as short as a thousand bamboos, and the house is as long as thousands of books. The rich man was even more annoyed and ordered the bamboo to be uprooted. Jie Jin did Sarah laugh, and added another sentence to the couplet: The door is short of thousands of bamboos, but the family keeps thousands of books. I was dumbfounded by the popularity. Cheng called him a prodigy, and the Prime Minister wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law. He pointed to the fruit on the table and said, "Why did you take the lotus root?" ? Pairs said: if you have apricots, you don't need plums. Li Xian was overjoyed, but he gave his daughter a match.
When Dai Dabin was five years old, he should be a boy. Seeing that he was young, the students smiled and asked, "What do you want to be?" Dai replied, "Ge Lao". Everyone's saying: I'm not old enough to miss the pavilion. Dai replied loudly: No one is a scholar. Everyone laughed.
Yang Shen, an Yongxiu, was born in the first year of Hongzhi in Ming Dynasty. According to legend, when he was five or six years old, he swam in a pond near Gui Hu. The magistrate passed by and didn't get up to avoid it. The magistrate ordered someone to hang his clothes on an old tree and told Yang Shen, "The magistrate has made a pair. If you can answer correctly, you will be spared the crime of disrespect! " The county magistrate just finished reading the first couplet: a thousand-year-old tree is a hanger. Yang Shen goes out: The Yangtze River is a bathtub. The magistrate was amazed and praised Yang Shen as a child prodigy.
When Shen Yifu was eight years old, his teacher called the cloud: the green water was leisurely, and his face was wrinkled by the wind. Shen Dui said that the green hills are not old, and the head is white snow. Teachers love their cleverness and praise them.
The honor of serving as a bachelor in the Qing dynasty was condemned by public opinion for competing for the construction of Jinpu Railway Station. A newspaper in Jinmen wrote a cloud: glory strives to set up a platform, seeking glory and opposing humiliation. The newspaper offered a reward for the capture of the Rightists, but many people responded. His excellent works include: It is useless to talk about soldiers if you win, and arrogance if you win. Another link: Zhenyin, famous for thousands of years. What the couplet said is true, and it played a joke on the enemies of Gong Li.
Yu Quyuan took her daughter to visit Lingyin Temple in West Lake. When she saw a couplet on the cold spring pavilion, Yu whispered: When did it get cold in spring? Where does the peak come from? His daughter smiled and replied: spring cold is a metaphor; The peak flies from the neck. Yu Jing asked, "What is the word item?" His daughter said, "How can Feng An fly if Xiang Yu doesn't pull up this mountain?"
Guo Moruo studied in a private school as a child. Once I ate peaches with my classmates in the temple. The monk complained to the teacher, who blamed the students, but no one admitted it. Mr. Wang said, I'll make a pair, who can muddle through. Mr. Wang said: I don't know who stole the peach yesterday and drilled the dog hole. Guo Moruo thought for a moment and said to himself, I must have been there when he climbed the Bukan Palace in Guangxi last year. Mr. Wang was surprised by his talent and was very happy. All the students are exempt from punishment. 1953, Qian Sanqiang led a scientific delegation to visit China, Zhao Jiuzhang and others. There is nothing to do on the road, so we have to talk about the present and the past. At this time, inspired by the situation, Hua drew a couplet: Zhao, the top three, asked for a couplet. The "Top Three" refers to the three powerful countries of Korea, Wei and Zhao during the Warring States Period, but it also implies the name of Qian Sanqiang, head of the delegation. This can not only solve the difficulty of number matching, but also embed the name of a scientist in the bottom couplet. Therefore, when the first couplet of China and Laos came out, many people hesitated. After a while, I saw Hua unhurriedly reading the second couplet: Pythagoras' nine-chapter string. Nine Chapters is a famous mathematical work in ancient China. This book records the Pythagorean theorem first discovered by mathematicians in China. At the same time, "Nine Chapters" is the name of Zhao Jiuzhang, an atmospheric physicist. That's great! The whole house is falling for it!
Lee Seung-Hyun, a celebrity moon-gazing entertainment association.
According to legend, Su Dongpo in the Northern Song Dynasty enjoyed the moon with his family from the Mid-Autumn Festival to midnight one year, and recited a couplet "2: 30 midnight" and asked his three sons to make a couplet. Although there are only five words, it is very difficult: "The beginning and the end must be the same word, and the meaning must be consistent." As a result, the third son, Su Guo, was the cleverest and said, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is in August." One Mid-Autumn Festival night, Su Xiaomei, Su Dongpo and monk Fo Yin went boating in the lake to enjoy the moon. Su Xiaomei, a gifted scholar, sang the first couplet: "Five hundred arhats cross the river, and there are thousands of Buddhas on the shore." . At this time, Fo Yin monk looked up at the bright full moon and blurted out the next couplet: "A beautiful woman reflects the moon, and there are two beautiful juan in the sky". In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Li Yu, a writer and drama theorist, visited the Taohua Temple in Yangzhou. The abbot was hospitable and boarded the platform with Li Yu to enjoy the moon. The two were in high spirits, enjoying the moon and fighting. The abbot said, "Come on stage when there is a month, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter." Li Yu said, "All winds sit, regardless of east, west, north and south." The abbot went out again: "The sky is at the top of the mountain, and it is far to the top." Li Yu said: "The moon is floating on the water, and the water is still deep when it is pried open." Ordinary natural phenomena, once poetic, make people feel particularly beautiful.
In San Xiao's Wedding, the dialogue between Master Hua and is more exciting. Master Hua wrote a couplet saying, "Ten thoughts, thinking of the monarch, thinking of the people, thinking of the country." Tang Bohu replied: "Eight eyes are still rewarded, and the stars, the moon and the autumn fragrance are rewarded." . In couplets, "thinking" and "appreciating" are stacked with "ten mouths" plus "heart" and "eight eyes" plus "Shang" respectively. Real and ingenious.
In the Qing Dynasty, Li Beishui and Zhang Nanyue went upstairs to enjoy the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival. Li Beishui looked at the Big Dipper in the first couplet: "Big Dipper, it's fourteen o'clock underwater." The name of "North Water" was cleverly embedded in the first part. Zhang Nanyue suddenly saw a lonely goose flying over the roof and made a couplet: "There is a goose in the south building and a pair of birds flying in the middle of the month." The bottom line is embedded in the name of "South Moon". The same result, memorable. On Xiaojinshan Island of Slender West Lake in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, there is a "Moon Pavilion" built in the early Qing Dynasty for people to enjoy the scenery on a moonlit night. One Mid-Autumn Festival, Zheng Banqiao, a famous poet, calligrapher and painter in Qing Dynasty, swam here and wrote in calligraphy: "The moon is full of water, and Yun Qi is the Tianshan Mountains." This couplet is vivid, appropriate and poetic. Later generations carved it on a pillar, adding beautiful scenery to Slender West Lake. Guo Moruo, a great contemporary writer, was very talented and naughty when he was a child. He often stole peaches with You Tong. One Mid-Autumn Festival, when he was enjoying the moon with his friends, the friends laughed at him and said, "I don't know who stole peaches and drilled a dog hole yesterday." Guo Moruo quickly looked at the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival and retorted, "I must have been there when he climbed Guangxi to the Moon Palace in 2008." The sentences are tit for tat, concise and lively, neat and natural. Please think twice about your relatives during the festival. The round and bright Mid-Autumn Moon often makes wanderers miss the moon. It is said that Mr. Yu Dayou, a famous person in Taiwan Province Province, set up a traditional offering to enjoy the moon on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, lit a bouquet of fragrance and looked at his hometown under the bright moon, that is, he wrote a couplet: "Mother's tears fell on the Wujiang River, but it is difficult to look at the bright moon." Expressed Taiwan Province compatriots' strong homesickness and yearning for cross-strait reunion. People's Daily Overseas Edition (3rd Edition, September 2000 13)
A clever flower, named Lotus Queen Albizia, with a daffodil smile; Morning glory against the car, kingfisher flying. This is a couplet written with eight flower names. Its characteristic is that four short sentences can be independently formed into sentences, and together they become a couplet with both "self-alignment" and "mutual alignment". The four short sentences all meet the requirements of independent sentence formation of "subject-predicate-object" sentence pattern. The so-called self-correction means that the first sentence in the couplet is opposite to the last sentence, such as "Emperor Daughter" versus "Narcissus", "Albizia Albizia" versus "Smiling", "Petunia" versus "delphinium" versus "Lingxiao". The antithesis means that the couplets on both sides are opposite, such as "The Emperor's Daughter" versus Petunia, "Narcissus" versus delphinium, "Albizia Albizia" versus the car, and "Smile" versus Lingxiao. The conjunctions are arranged reasonably. It is a happy event that the "emperor daughter" is divided into men and women and married, and the kingfisher is also happy to fly to the sky. The author of the couplet (anonymous) personifies the flowers, with actions and feelings, which are natural, decent and seamless, giving people a unique freshness.
Su Dongpo's Wisdom to Liao Envoys
On one occasion, Su Dongpo was ordered to receive an envoy sent by Liao. The envoy of Liao country deliberately made things difficult for him, so he said to him: He is a famous figure in the Central Plains. I have a very simple couplet with only five words. Please sue is right. After that, the Liao ambassador proudly read: the three lights, the sun, the moon and the stars; Hearing this, Su Dongpo also got a fright. Because quantifiers in couplets must be corrected with quantifiers. The first part uses the word "three", and the second part uses numbers other than "three", but there are only three words under "three lights". Then, no matter which number you use to correct it, the following words are either more than three or less than three. This is an absolute couple! Fortunately, Su Dongpo is familiar with the Book of Songs. After a little thinking, he found the answer in The Book of Songs. He immediately thought:
Four poems, elegant and smart. This is a wonderful bottom line. It is very appropriate to use "four" to "three". But if four words are added after "four", it will be inferior to "the sun, the moon and the stars". The beauty lies in his four poems, and there are only three names: wind, elegance and ode. It turns out that "elegance" in The Book of Songs can be divided into "elegance" and "elegance", so it is commonly called "four-character poem". Hearing this, the Liao envoy nodded repeatedly, ashamed and afraid to go out. Using numbers skillfully to make couplets
Creating couplets with numbers will produce magical and subtle effects. "Lotus on all sides, willow on three sides; There are mountains in one city and lakes in half. " Tiantai Mountain is the birthplace of Tiantai Sect of Zen Buddhism in China. There is a couplet in Fangguang Temple on the mountain: "Wind, water, insects, birds, Brahma, a total of 360 bells and drums, silent; Moonlight, mountains, grass, trees, clouds and even 48,000-foot peaks are all empty. "There are many poems that describe and record Zhuge Liang's life achievements, but what impressed me the most is the couplet:" Collect the two rivers, arrange eight arrays, six out of seven, catch five posts, light forty-nine lights in front of the original place, and look after the thatched cottage three times; "Take the West Shu and set it in the south and cover the east, and refuse the account of the Han army in the north, and change the soil to the water surface for fire attack." . The first part of the series "one two three four five six seven eight nine Ten" is seamless, and the second part of the series "East, West, North, South, China, Jin Mu, Fire, Water and Earth" naturally and skillfully summarizes Mr. Kong Ming's character, wisdom and achievements. Lianzhong's use of numbers can be described as superb and unforgettable.
Digital couplets created by using the spelling characteristics of Chinese characters are also quite interesting and witty. Jiang Tao, a writer in the Ming Dynasty, answered the couplets of numerals, which left a model in this respect for future generations. According to legend, one day in late autumn, Jiang Tao's father had a heart-to-heart talk with a friend about poetry, and suddenly it began to rain and snow. Watching the rain and snow knock on the window, my friend suddenly had a brainwave and blurted out a couplet: "The freezing rain spilled on the window, two o'clock in the east and three o'clock in the west." The couplets break the words "frozen" and "sprinkled" into "east dichotomy" and "west dichotomy" respectively, which cleverly contains numbers, corresponding to the window view, which is really exquisite. Faced with this thorny online shopping problem, Jiang Tao's father couldn't answer it for a long time. To hide his embarrassment, he moved out a watermelon to entertain guests. Staring at his father's action of cutting melons, Jiang Tao, who was only seven years old, suddenly said, "Divide the melons into slices and cut them vertically and horizontally." What a ginger knife. It splits the words "fen" and "cut" into "eight vertical knives" and "seven horizontal knives", and answers the combination according to the situation. The numbers "seven" and "eight" are used naturally and appropriately, which is worthy of being a wonderful pair of immortals. Father and friends can't help but be amazed.
A newly discovered couplet was written by Mr. Sun (deceased) from Taoyuan Mountain, Yangzhong Village, Taoyuan on 1930. According to his grandson, someone copied a work and sent it to win a prize, becoming a calligrapher. I won't comment on merits and demerits. Just look at the calligraphy of this couplet. It is really excellent, with the style of Wang and Zhao. Is this written by Sun? Eat ink, watch tea, listen to incense, read pictures, swallow flowers, lie down with wine, and bear the wind on the moon. Taoyuan mountain people endorse mandarin ducks and think of cranes and dragonflies to repair houses. It's the middle of winter in Gengwu.
On August 9, 2003, I saw an appreciation of couplets at China Couplet Station, which recorded such a story: Zhu Zhishan and Shen Zhou enjoyed plum blossoms one day and made a wish: the lotus is planted in the swamp, and the lotus is white, red and green; Shen Dui said that rice is planted in the field and the seedlings are green. The three parts of the couplet "Lotus" and the three periods of the couplet "Rice" are all won by color.
