On holidays, weddings, funerals and weddings, most people like to write and paste couplets to celebrate or commemorate. Since ancient times, many people are famous for being good at "pairing", while others don't know how to make fun of "pairing". A similar situation also appeared in various exams. It can be said that learning some common sense of couplets is good, but not bad.
After the college entrance examination system was restored, problems related to couplets appeared in the college entrance examination papers, which attracted the attention of teachers, candidates and even the society. To this end, the author lists several test questions and makes a superficial evaluation for reference only.
First of all, unicorns
right-eyed flounder
When Lu Xun was a child, his family sent him to San Tan Yin Yue to study. There are exams before entering school. Teacher shou asked the candidates to check in pairs. The exam question (sentence) is: unicorn. Soon, Lu Xun and several other candidates handed in their papers. Some are "two-headed snakes"; Some are "nine-headed birds"; Some people are right about millipedes. Lu Xun was right: flounder. Mr. Shou Jason Wu was very happy to see the papers submitted by these young candidates. In particular, Luxun's Flatfish was well received.
Comments: Mr. Shou has done a good job and his level is good.
Candidate Lu Xun answered well and correctly.
Teacher Wang raised a good question, but fortunately, the interest of candidates was taken into account; Fortunately, considering the difficulty of the topic; Fortunately, the goal of finding young seeds has been achieved.
Unicorn was an animal that Lu Xun and other children were very familiar with at that time. Face familiar problems. The young candidate suddenly relaxed a lot. His childlike innocence and interest followed. As we all know, familiarity with the content of the test questions is an important psychological factor for candidates to sprout interest in the test. If candidates, especially children, know nothing about the problems they face, how can they be interested and not interested in taking the exam, let alone taking the exam?
Unicorn, only three words. Few words, for small candidates, will find it difficult and easy to accept; With an easy-to-accept mentality, you will have the impulse to deal with it. If the candidates dare not respond, what about the exam?
Unicorn, although only three words, seems easy, but it is hard to be good. What's the difficulty? The difficulty lies in the word "independence". The word "independence" has a hidden mystery. Unique, single, is a quantifier, which is more exclusive. "Independence" looked like "one" at first, and then it looked like "single". Come to think of it, only the meaning of "single" and "independent" is the closest. This is the mystery. Whether you can see through the mystery here depends on the candidate's judgment and performance ability. It's hard. Shang Ruo's exam questions are not easy to hide, but difficult to hide, so how to find young prospects?
Therefore, Mr. Shou Jason Wu's question is well written and well written.
Candidate Lu Xun responded well and answered well. Fortunately, I can see through the mystery, be sure of the work, use clever words and have wonderful connections.
"Flounder" is something in the water, and "unicorn" is something on land. Water: Yang, soil: Yin. "Water" versus "earth", yin and yang are born together, which is wonderful!
"independence" can be described by "single", which is hidden in "independence" and refined. "Bi" is called "Shuang", and "Shuang" is also hidden in "Bi", which is wonderful.
In this way, "single" and "double" are relative, both exclusive and related, both hidden and clear. Not good! Not exquisite! Besides, Lu Xun is only a few years old and still a child.
So Lu Xun was right and answered well.
It is worth pointing out that "jiao" and "mu" are ambiguous in modern Chinese characters, and their phonology is the same in the position of the second word of couplets, which is taboo for couplets.
The author believes that this is probably related to the pronunciation of "Wu Yu". If the two words "jiao" and "mu" are flat and peaceful in the pronunciation of Wu dialect, then there is no taboo.
As for "two-headed snake", "nine-headed bird" and "millipede", right? To tell the truth, it's right. It's not just that the candidate is a minor child. It means that the young candidates are right.
The "two-headed snake" is quite neat and the connection is good. Two pairs of lovers, head diagonal, snake to beast, are accurate in both part of speech and level. The "two-headed snake" is also a very strange animal of its kind. Just like the "unicorn" of its kind, it is of course a good pair and a wonderful pair.
The "nine-headed bird" is a monster flying in the sky, opposite to the "unicorn" on the ground. It can be described as "air to ground". It should be said that this idea is very novel. It's just that the word "bird" and the word "beast" are in the same position. This is a taboo of couplets.
The millipede is not as good as the nine-headed bird and the two-headed snake, and the second words "foot" and "horn" are homonyms, which should be avoided.
There is a saying about "ping" that "one, three, five, two, four and six are distinct", which refers to the words in the second, fourth and sixth positions of couplets, and their phonology cannot be the same as those in the relative positions of sentences. If the phonology of the words in these positions is flat, then the phonology of the words in the corresponding positions of the sentence can only be weak; or vice versa, Dallas to the auditorium However, the phonological requirements of words in the first, third and fifth singular positions of conjunctions are not as strict as those in the even positions. So it's called "one, three, five."
What is flat voice and silence? In modern Chinese, one or two tones are defined as flat tones, and three or four tones are defined as slurs. Couplets are called "new rhyme". What is different from the new rhyme is called "ancient rhyme" The ancient rhyme is divided into "Ping, Shang, Qu and Ru". Pingsheng can be divided into Yin Ping and Yangping. The word "Ru" is also included in the sound. Among Chinese characters, there are about 200 ancient Rusheng characters, but they are called Pingsheng characters in modern Chinese. For example, the words "country" and "happiness" are called "from the past to the present" by Lian Tan. And asked for a pair of "can't mix ancient and modern rhymes."
In my impression, couplets have always been the quintessence of China, because only China's square characters have such writing charm. From font, pronunciation, radicals and so on, there are endless mysteries. English letters and words, if you want to "couplet", is probably reluctant. Although the languages of some countries, such as Japanese and Korean, seem to be individual words, the meanings of those "deformed" words are far less abundant than those of "authentic" Chinese characters.
Ride M horse, wave L whip, cross V valley, let go of O mouth to sing spring scenery;
Cross the H bridge, take the S road, climb the A peak and climb the runway to watch the dawn.
This couplet was written by contemporary couplets writer Yang for places of leisure and entertainment, and its uniqueness is unprecedented. These eight letters vividly "describe" the meaning expressed in the joint article, which makes people know it like the back of their hands. You see, people ride on horseback, isn't the horse exactly "M"-shaped? "L" is like a whip in a knight's hand! Isn't the valley just a "V"? How can you sing like an "O" and an "H" is not like a bridge? "S" is like a winding road, "A" is simply a stick figure of a mountain peak, and the stage on which models walk is called a "T" stage. This clever use of letters is really unforgettable and wonderful.
