Poems and Couplets About Bridges (2) According to the writing method and the relationship between the upper and lower couplets, according to the relationship between the upper and lower couplets in content, couplets can be divided into three types, namely positive pairs, opposing pairs, and running water pairs.
1. Direct opposition means that the contents of the upper and lower couplets are related or similar, explaining roughly the same truth from different angles.
For example: the reeds on the wall are top-heavy and have a shallow base; the bamboo shoots in the mountains have a sharp mouth, thick skin and a hollow belly.
A spring of light shines all over the world, and thousands of peaches and plum blossoms bloom in three rivers.
A big belly can accommodate things that are difficult to tolerate in the world; smile when you open your mouth and laugh at the ridiculous people in the world.
Couples compose labor songs together, and men and women sing songs about getting rich together.

For example: Green mountains are lucky enough to bury loyal bones, but white iron is not lucky enough to bury sycophants.
Don’t forget that it was hard to start a business back then, but life is sweet now.
Another example: With a cold eyebrow and a thousand fingers, he bows his head and is willing to be a Ruzi Niu.
Extravagance and waste harm the family and the country, while diligence and frugality add up to a small amount.
3. Running pairs are also called string pairs, which means that one meaning is expressed in two sentences, and the two sentences together form a whole. The upper and lower links carry assumptions, progression, cause and effect, conditions and other relationships.
For example: The river has no end and becomes a sea of ??peaches and plums. Without words, it forms a stream. Another example: But people have a legacy of love, and the poems are romantic.
