1, which is different from horizontal adjustment.
As a special cultural genre, couplets are similar to metrical poems. They pay attention to even and flat rhymes, and the antithesis is neat. Generally, the last word in the upper part is voiced and the last word in the lower part is flat, which is a major feature that distinguishes the upper part from the lower part. "Wrong" is three or four tones, and "flat" is one or two tones.
2. Distinguish the cause and effect from the content.
Everything has a cause and effect, and so do couplets. The difference between couplet and couplet is that what happens is couplet, and cause and effect is couplet. We only need to read the contents of couplets carefully and distinguish the logical relationship between them, so we can distinguish them.
3. distinguish it from time to time.
Distinguish the upper and lower parts in chronological order, that is, the first part is the upper part and the last part is the lower part. Or do the first half, and then do the second half. Focus on the first and last orders.
4. Distinguish from the size of space.
The upper and lower couplets can be distinguished according to the space and scope of couplets and the size of events. Go to the General Assembly, and the next one is small, in order from big to small. Focus on the order of size.
5. Distinguish from language habits.
In daily life and cultural communication, China people have many unique language habits, such as happy life, good weather, spring flowers and autumn moon, high mountains and high waters, and few people will read them backwards. So some couplets can be distinguished according to daily language habits. People often say "live and be happy" and "help each other in the same boat", but there is no such thing as "live and be happy" and "help each other in the same boat"
