Introduction: Su Shi, also known as Su Dongpo, is a famous painter and calligrapher, and his ability to write couplets is superb. So I chose some stories about Su Dongpo's couplets for you!
The first article: Su Dongpo's funny couplets
Su Shi (1037-1101), a native of Meizhou, Sichuan, was a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty. Great achievements have been made in poetry, prose, ci and calligraphy, and there are also many couplets handed down from generation to generation.
On one occasion, Su Dongpo and two friends went to Jiujiang to catch the exam, because they were late for the flood. The examiner couldn't resist carrot and stick, so he made a fuss:
A boat, carrying two or three candidates, walked four or five days and landed in Jiujiang, ten minutes late.
Su Dongpo thought for a moment, the bottom allied way:
Ten years of cold window, read 98 volumes of poetry books, passed 765 examination rooms, and repeatedly went to the second door, so I must enter.

One day, Su Dongpo accompanied the envoys of North Korea (now North Korea) to travel, and Tan Xing was healthy all the way. Su Dongpo boasted that all women and children in our country can write couplets. The messenger called an old man by the roadside, pointed to a pagoda in the distance and sang the first couplet:
The single tower is towering and the seven floors extend in all directions.
Hearing this, the old man waved away again and again. The messenger smiled and asked Dongpo:? This?
Su Dongpo laughed? This Weng has already said it. ?
The messenger asked:? Su Dongpo said: Where is this Weng's joint? He is facing a charade, swinging with one hand, which means:
The hand is shaking, and the five fingers are long and short.
The messenger and Dongpo smiled at each other.
Legend has it that someone in Lingnan, Guangdong wrote couplets on stone tablets, but no one could agree.
Half the mountains, half the roads, half the streams and half the streams are dry.
When Su Dongpo came here, someone led him to the monument and asked Su Dongpo to correct me. Dongpo looked at it and asked? A tablet, only one line? Just say the first sentence and turn around and leave. So the locals said Su Dongpo couldn't tell the difference. In the Qing dynasty, Li (1734-? Former Guangdong students also came here, and the locals also led him to the monument, told Li about Su Dongpo's coming here and asked Li if he was right. Li said: Su Dongpo is right, why should he be right again? ? Everyone was scared. Li said, Su Dongpo's bottom allied is:
A tablet, a line of words, a couplet, an empty talk.
However, Su Dongpo really can't do it well. Wang Anshi (1021-kloc-0/086), a politician and writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, appreciated Su Dongpo's talent, but was dissatisfied with Dongpo's arrogance, so it was difficult to join the League. On this day, they visited Zhenjiang. After Jinshan, Yinshan and Yushan, Wang Anshi wrote couplets and said:
Tieweng City West, Jinshan Yinshan Sanbao Land.
Zhenjiang, an ancient name? Tieweng City? Su Dongpo thought for a few days, but didn't think right. So far, he hasn't got a pair.
Part two: Su Dongpo and Fo Yin.
Su Dongpo is in Hangzhou and likes to make friends with monks in West Lake Temple. He and monk Fo Yin of the Holy Mountain Temple are best friends. They often make jokes while drinking and reciting poems.
Monks in Fo Yin are delicious. Whenever Su Dongpo treats guests at a banquet, he always comes uninvited. One night, Su Dongpo invited Huang Tingjian to visit the West Lake, and many tables and drinks were prepared on board. When the cruise ship left the shore, Su Dongpo smiled and said to Huang Tingjian, "Fo Yin will come to every party. Tonight, we will go to the lake by boat to drink, sing poems and have fun. He can't come anyway. " "Who knows, Fo Yin monks have long discovered that Su Dongpo wanted to swim with Huang Tingjian, so they hid under the deck when they didn't get on the boat.
The bright moon is in the sky, the cool breeze is refreshing, and the lotus fragrance is full of lakes. The cruise ship slowly arrived at the Three Towers of the West Lake. Su Dongpo raised his glass and smoothed his beard. He happily said to Huang Tingjian, "Today, without Fo Yin, we are quiet. Let's start by ordering wine. The first two sentences should be immediate and the last two sentences should end with the word "in". " Huang Tingjian said, "All right! Su Dongpo first said: What can the sky say when the clouds set out to see the sun and the moon rises? What did heaven say?
Huang Tingjian looked at the lotus flowers all over the lake, and then said: Li Anping brushed away and swam out of the fish, which is a good thing! Get what you want!
At this time, Fo Yin couldn't help being pressed under the deck. As soon as he heard Huang Tingjian's words, he pushed open the deck and climbed out, saying, "Pull the deck aside, and Fo Yin will come out soon. What a shame! " ! Suppress people!
Su Dongpo and Huang Tingjian were startled to see a man suddenly climb out from under the planking. When they looked carefully, it turned out to be Fo Yin. When they heard him say such four poems, they couldn't help laughing.
Su Dongpo took Fo Yin and sat down and said, "You hid well. You are right. You ate again today! So, while enjoying the moon, the three men swam around the lake, talking and laughing.
One day, Su Dongpo instructed the chef to use a live grass carp from the West Lake, wash it, cut it open, split it with five knives, and steam it with ham, onion and ginger. The cook made it and sent it to the study. Su Dongpo looked hot and delicious, and the knife marks on the fish were like willows. He repeatedly shouted, "What a mullet!" Just want to eat chopsticks, suddenly, I saw a flash figure outside the window, Fo Yin monk came. Su Dongpo thought, "Hey, what a monk! He didn't come early or late! I was about to eat fish when you came. I won't let you eat today. What do you do? " I reached out and put this plate of fish on the shelf.
Fo Yin has seen the dish of fish outside the window and thought, Well, you have hidden it well! I want you to take it out, too Su Dongpo greeted Fo Yin with a smile and sat down. He asked, "The big monk is not in the temple. What do you have to say here? " Fo Yin replied solemnly, "I came here today to ask you something." "What word!" "Your name is Sue, how do you spell' Sue'? Su Dongpo's brow wrinkled. Knowing that he was so learned that he couldn't even write the word "Su", he pretended to be serious and replied, "Oh, this word" Su "has a grass prefix on it, a word" Fish "on the left and a word" Wo "on the right. Fo Yin also asked in a confused way, "Oh, what if there is a' valley' on the left and a' fish' on the right under the grass prefix? Su Dongpo said, "Let's say' Sue'. Fo Yin also said, "How about putting the fish on the grass?" Su Dongpo quickly said, "Oh, that won't do!" Fo Yin smiled and said, "Good! You say it's not good to put the fish on it, then take it off! Su Dongpo suddenly woke up! Fo Yin said, eating his plate of mullet.
On one occasion, when Fo Yin was in the temple and knew that Su Dongpo was coming, he steamed a plate of mullet. Su Dongpo just came in. Fo Yin thought, last time you played a joke on me, I'm going to give you a hard time today. There happened to be a chime beside him, so he put the fish in.
Su Dongpo saw it long ago and pretended not to know. As soon as I sat down, I sighed on purpose. Knowing Su Dongpo's optimistic personality, Fo Yin asked doubtfully, "Taishou, why are you so sad today? Su Dongpo replied, "Alas, monk, you don't know. In the morning, I want to write a couplet. Who knows, just after writing the first couplet, the second couplet will be difficult. I can't think of it all the time, so I'm very upset! Fo Yin asked, "I don't know what the first part is? Su Dongpo replied: "The first part of the couplet is' Spring Arrives at Xiangyang Gate'. Fo Yin was amused when he heard this: This couplet was pasted on every family, but he used it to make fun of me. I don't know what medicine is sold in the gourd of Su Dong. So he said quietly, "I'll give it to you, right?" The bottom line is "this is not just a celebration to accumulate outstanding talents." Su Dongpo even shouted: "Oh, a talented person is a talented person! So you have fish (surplus) in Qing! Come on, take it out and eat it. " Fo Yin this just suddenly enlighted, obediently took out the fish from the hands of the qing.
Part III: Su Dongpo shamefully changed couplets.
When Su Dongpo was a child, he posted a couplet on the door of his study: Know all the words in the world and read all the books in the world.
It should be said that Su Dongpo's ambition is beyond reproach, but? World words? A dime a dozen, can you? Know all this? A human book? Sweating a lot, huh? Read it all? Really? A little? Crazy? Ah!
An old man knew it. One day, he brought a little book and asked Su Dongpo for advice. Su Dongpo took the notebook and saw many words he didn't know. He has never seen this little book before, and he can't help feeling very ashamed. The old man took back the notebook, stared at the couplet for a long time, shook his head and walked away. Su Dongpo saw it in his eyes and felt that his couplets were really a bit crazy and should not be. So he picked up a pen and added two more words at the beginning: I am determined to read all the books in the world.
This change is not the original? Crazy? Qi has become the direction of efforts. From then on, Su Dongpo became modest, studied tirelessly, and finally became a great poet and writer.
Part four: Su Dongpo changed couplets.
When Su Dongpo was young, under the guidance of his father, he was diligent and eloquent, so he was a little carried away. On one occasion, he wrote a couplet at the door:
? Know all the words in the world and read all the books in the world. ?
A few days later, an old man with white hair came, holding a small notebook in his hand and claiming to come to the door for advice. Su Dongpo took the little book and was shocked. He doesn't know any words in the book. The old man looked at the couplets on the door, shook his head and left. Su Dongpo blushed, so he changed the couplet:
? Try to know all the words in the world and aspire to read all the books in the world. ?
From then on, Su Dongpo stayed at home and studied hard. Because of his hard work, he finally became a great writer.
Chapter Five: Su Xiaomei and Su Shi.
One night, Su Dongpo said to Su Xiaomei. In the first part, I'm going out, so in the second part, I invite you to spend the night. ? He added, "The daffodils hold the jade hairpin, and the sound is slow before the wind. Su Xiaomei struggled for a long time and couldn't answer. " . Because? Water sprite? 、? Jade hairpin? And then what? Slow voice? They are all epigraph names, and the next couplet must be based on the epigraph name. At the same time, it is really difficult to describe a scene. When I was looking for my stomach, I suddenly saw that the maid at the end of the moonlight brought food and wine. Su Xiaomei had a brainwave and made a couplet: Yu Meidai Hong Xiuxie, Bu Bujiao pressed:? Yu Meiren? 、? Hong Xiuxie? 、? Bu Bujiao? It's also a epigraph name.
