Couplets, commonly known as pairs, are treasures of traditional culture and are deeply loved by the people. However, due to the reasons of time, many good couplets have been buried in the long river of history.
I'm a real swimmer, a couplet reader. If you like couplets too, be sure to follow me.
Today I found 2 unnamed but intriguing ancient couplets, which are neat and eye-catching. Please enjoy it, I think it is good to collect it.
The first pair: The great thousand autumn colors in the brow, see all the green warm pearl incense, revisit the Ministry; fifty thousand chunhua like a dream, remember Ding Gejia dance, once slept in Kunlun.
This couplet is a yanglian of an ancient theater, it is said that the author is an anonymous literati "Wang Xiaozhu", and it is said that the author is Wu Meicun, a great talent in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, which is difficult to study in detail.
The most rare thing about this combination of words is to skillfully integrate personal emotions into the opera performance, which is appropriate and natural, without any traces of axe chiseling.
There must be some friends who feel that this couplet is obviously not right, why do you say that the battle is neat?
They will say: "Cui nuan zhuxiang, cui is a color noun, warm is a verb, and the corresponding Ding GeJia dance is completely wrong." Ding is a Tiangan noun, and Cui is a battle. However, the song is also a noun, and this warmth is not right, right? In the same way, dance and incense are not right! ”
In fact, this is a view that only knows one thing and does not know the other. This actually applies the self-pairing rule of the couplet.
That is to say, "Cui Xuan Zhu Xiang" and "Ding Ge Jia Dance" are not in the right place on the surface, but in fact, "Cui Huan" and "Zhu Xiang", "Ding Ge" and "Jia Dance" are already against each other.
This kind of similar method of fighting abounds in couplets, so don't be strange.
Another friend said: "Even so, then this couplet is still not right." You see, look through and remember, flat is not right. Also, revisiting the Ministry of Support and Kunlun who had slept in Kunlun, Ping Shu was not right. ”
First of all, Zhan Bu and Kunlun are fighting against each other, which is the pronunciation of the ancient sound.
Secondly, seeing and remembering that although the flat is not right, it does not mean that the couplet is not right.
These friends still equate the battle of the verses with the pairs of the couplets, and do not understand that the pairs of the couplets are actually different from the battles of the verses.
Couplets, especially long couplets, many times break through the confrontation of the Vinaya, and cannot be all the same as the confrontation of the Vinaya, especially in the level of the level.
For a simple example, "Tao Ranting; Zhang Zhidong" or "Sun Xinger; Hu Shizhi" or "Sun Xinger; Zu Chongzhi", which has been praised for many years, if the confrontation according to the law poem, is a flawed and wrong couplet.
There is also the famous Grand View Building Long Lian, according to the rhythm of the poem, there are also many places that do not conform to the ping, that is, the so-called do not conform to the battle.
Couplets, pairs are the most important. The wrong couplet, that is, the unqualified couplet, then why should everyone think that these couplets are wonderful? Why do you think these couplets are wonderful?
Moreover, everyone has heard that the rhythmic poem has a rescue rule, but they have not heard that the couplet has a so-called "rescue" rule.
The reason is that many of the famous couplets that really circulate in the folk do not actually correspond one-to-one according to the confrontation of the law and poetry.
In other words, in fact, there are already a large number of couplets that do not follow the laws and poems, and the habit becomes natural, so naturally there is no need to use the so-called "rescue" in the couplets.
Although the couplet was born out of the rhythmic poem, in the process of development of the couplet, there are some differences in the requirements of the confrontation with the rhythmic poem, and only then will there be a special form of couplet. Otherwise, everyone will write the law poem directly.
As for ancient books such as the so-called "Kasa Weng Rhymes", they are said to be "rhymes", in fact, these books are not for the service of couplets, but for the ancients to write poems, for the ancients to write poetry to serve, the real purpose is to teach people to write poetry, not to teach people to write couplets.
Can you see what that means?
Many friends have always equated the battle of the rhythmic poem with the battle of the couplet, I have written an article to explain it before, interested can read my previous article, here is not the main thing, do not carefully unfold.
Relatively speaking, if the couplet can do the battle of the rhythmic poems, it is a splendid addition, more ingenious.
But it is not absolute, not that the couplet that conforms to the rhythm of the poem must be more advanced and more exciting.
The reason why many famous couplets that do not conform to the rhythmic poetry are better than those ordinary couplets that conform to the rhythmic poetry is the difference between agility and congruence, and whether they are cut enough.
After saying a piece of gossip, it is an answer to the messages of many netizens in the early stage.
The next time I encounter this kind of "no battle" message, I will not explain more.
You can measure your verses against each other, but I'll still appreciate the couplets in terms of the couplets.
Back to the point, let's look at this couplet. The so-called "Ding Ge" is a "literary drama" based on singing, and "Jia Dance" is a "martial arts drama" based on action.
Ganbu, or Southern Ganbu Continent, is one of the four major continents in the Buddhist scriptures and is the place where the Terran race lives. Kunlun did not need to explain more, majestic Kunlun, the world was amazed.
The meaning of this couplet is the relationship between opera and life, to put it bluntly, life is like drama, drama is like life.
Through opera performances, people can feel the "green warm pearl fragrance", can "sleep enough Kunlun", travel the world in a short period of time, and be satisfied in the fantasy.
The whole couplet is elegant and talented. For example, "the great autumn color is in the eyebrow" and "fifty thousand spring flowers are like dreams", which cleverly cover the words "spring" and "autumn".
The ancients said: "Spring and autumn are in order of generation", spring and autumn represent the years of life. In other words, the couplet author cleverly integrates the emotions of life, and writes the relationship between opera and life in a subtle way, which is beautiful as a dream, which is really intriguing.
2nd Pair: Here Mo Inscription Poem, Who Dares to Be a Bachelor's Enemy; Accidentally Go to Catch the Moon, I Come to Worship the Wine Fairy Madness.
According to some people who use the verses to set up the couplet, this couplet has a flat and incorrect place, and it is not considered to be neat and tidy.
Unfortunately, this couplet has been handed down, and it is more commendable than those so-called couplets of the so-called Vinaya.
Moreover, the ancients who could write rhythmic poems did not have the modern ordinary netizens who knew the battle of ping and servant. Does it make sense?
If you think about it a little, you can understand, is it really the author who does not understand the couplet's battle? Or do modern netizens have to take the confrontation of the verses to set the couplets?
Therefore, this is a neat couplet, and there is no need to use the standard of the law to nitpick.
According to legend, the author of this couplet is the famous Qing Dynasty general Peng Yulin. Peng Yulin is both literate and martial, can draw poetry, especially good at pairs, and many couplets are quite good.
I believe that friends who see the couplet must know that the couplet is written by Li Bai, and the legend of Li Bai fishing for the moon after getting drunk is written.
Yes, this couplet was written by Peng Yulin in the Taibai Building of Quarry Rock in Anhui, and the upper and lower couplets reflect the legend of Li Bai.
Shanglian is actually a poem, "Bai is also invincible in poetry", praising Li Bai's superb poetic talent. Therefore, writing poetry in the Taibai Building is tantamount to getting an axe in the banmen, or don't write poetry.
The following link is the folklore of "Li Bai fishing for the moon and dying", which reflects the romance of Li Bai.
At the same time, this couplet integrates the author's personal feelings, and he believes that although he is not as good as Li Bai's poetic talent, he can imitate Li Bai in "madness".
That's why the couplet says, "I've come to worship the wine fairy madness." In fact, a prayer word is not only a praise for Li Bai's romance, but also reflects Peng Yulin's "arrogant" posture, and embodies Peng Yulin's conceit or self-congratulation under his humble attitude.
This is a couplet with real feelings, intriguing, so it is widely circulated.
By the way, a search on the Internet, jumped out of the couplet of the quarry rock catching platform, which is very similar to Peng Yulin's couplet: "Here Is Mo inscription poem, who dares to be a bachelor's enemy; Jiangshan once caught the moon, I came to worship some wine fairy madness." ”
I don't understand what this "so-and-so" means, it is estimated that "Gan" has been typed "so-and-so", the Internet has reprinted each other, and no one has modified it to "I came to Ganbai wine fairy madness".
In addition, "Jiangshan once caught the moon", the semantic understanding does not seem to be smooth enough, and I can't understand the relationship between Jiangshan and the quarry rock catching the moon.
So I feel that this association should be like this: "Here is mo inscription poem, who dares to be a bachelor's enemy; Jiang Xin once caught the moon, I came to worship the wine fairy madness." ”
This is logical, and later I looked up the information and found that taibailou did have a couplet, and sure enough, it was: "Here is mo inscription poem, who dares to be a bachelor's enemy; Jiang Xin once caught the moon, I came to pay homage to the wine fairy madness." ”
This couplet seems to be a rewrite of Peng Yulin's original couplet, and I personally feel that Peng Yulin's couplet is more flavorful.
