Couplets, commonly known as pairs, are treasures of traditional culture and are deeply loved by the people. There are a large number of good couplets in history, which are worth reading carefully for future generations.
I'm a real swimmer, a couplet reader. Be sure to move your fingers and pay attention to me.
Today I share with my friends 3 pairs of couplets that are very neat and tidy, funny and humorous, and let people lament the talent of the ancients!
1st Couplet: Pre-trial flowers bloom;
This is a "ruthless pair" that is extremely famous in history.
Li Dongyang, a great talent of the Ming Dynasty, was not only in a high position of power, but also quite talented.
Once, Li Dongyang and the talents of the Hanlin Academy were chatting, and Li Dongyang said to the talents of the Hanlin Academy: "I have an upper league, and everyone comes to the lower league." The upper link is: the flowers bloom before the court. ”
The talents of the Hanlin Academy are all the top literary masters of the Ming Dynasty, and when they hear such a shanglian, they can't help but smile.
The reason is very simple, this uplink is too simple, too difficult, it is a piece of cake, not worth mentioning.
Therefore, the talents casually paired up with more than a dozen lower links and casually coped with Li Dongyang.
After all, this kind of difficulty of the upper link, the real talent will not raise interest.
However, Li Dongyang shook his head frequently, not satisfied with everyone's downlink.
Everyone wondered: "Lord Li, you say that our lower link is not good, so what is a good lower link?" ”
Li Dongyang smiled and said, "Your subordinates are not as good as 'Your Excellency Mr. Li'." ”
When the talents of the Hanlin Academy heard this, they laughed and shouted, "Wonderful, wonderful!" ”
Li Dongyang's lower link was said from the perspective of the talents of the Hanlin Academy, that is to say, originally this lower link should have come from the mouth of the talents.
Therefore, "Your Excellency Mr. Li" refers to Li Dongyang himself, not others.
Why is this downlink the best? Because every word of this lower link, and every word of the upper link, such as "court" and "pavilion" are buildings, "flowers" and "plums" are plants...
Carefully taste this lower link, indeed the most intelligent, the most humorous and funny.
As the talents thought, the upper link was originally very simple, it was originally more ordinary. However, because of the relationship between the lower link, the upper link also followed the light and became a famous couplet in history, which made people talk about it.
The second couplet: the bird goes into the wind, and the insect is removed and becomes a phoenix; the Malay reed bank, eating all the grass thinks of a donkey.
In ancient times, there were two talents, one with the surname "Feng" and the other with the surname "Lu".
One day, the two shows were drinking together. Lu Xiucai drank very happily, and suddenly came to inspiration, smiled and said to Feng Xiucai: "Brother Ren, I suddenly remembered a wonderful shanglian, and it is still related to you." ”
Feng Xiucai was very interested, and quickly asked: "Brother Ren, please tell me carefully, the younger brother listens." ”
Lu Xiucai smiled and then said, "The bird goes into the wind and takes away the insects and becomes a phoenix." ”
As soon as Feng Xiucai heard it, he felt that this shanglian was hidden and mysterious, and after a little thought, he found that this shanglian was purely for his amusement.
The traditional character "wind" has a "worm" in it, so the ancients had an anagram "worm two", which means "wind and moon boundless".
The meaning of the upper link is that replacing the "worm" in the "wind" with the "bird" becomes the "phoenix". (Feng, here is also the traditional character writing.) ）
Obviously, Shanglian uses the "word splitting method", which is an anagram on the surface, but in fact, it has the meaning of mocking "Feng Xiucai".
The implication of Shanglian is that Feng Xiucai is just a "generation of insects and birds", which is not worth mentioning, and it is definitely not a "phoenix thing".
Feng Xiucai is also a smart person, and naturally can't let Lu Xiucai make fun of it in vain. He must taunt Lu Xiucai in order to regain face, so as not to be teased by Lu Xiucai later that "his skills are inferior to people".
Since Lu Xiucai focused on the surname "Feng", then Feng Xiucai also started from Lu Xiucai's "Lu".
He had a clever move and laughed at the next link: "Malay Reed, eat all the grass and think it's a donkey." ”
The reed character goes to the cursive character head, plus the horse word next to it, which happens to be a "donkey".
Obviously, Feng Xiucai used his human way to treat his body, skillfully fought back, and mocked "Lu Xiucai" as a "big stupid donkey", which can be described as tit-for-tat and not falling behind.
Lu Xiucai heard Feng Xiucai's lower link, clapped his hands and applauded: "Brother Ren is really talented, drink, drink!" ”
The upper and lower links all use the method of word breaking, all have unspoken meanings, and several verbs are also used skillfully, which can be described as a combination of pearls and is absolutely unparalleled.
This pair of neat couplets witnessed the jokes of two friends, witnessed the talents and friendships of two friends, and made the people relish it.
The 3rd couplet: Every year is sad and every year is over; there is no home everywhere.
In ancient times, there was a poor scholar, his family was surrounded by walls, and he was so poor that he clanged.
When it comes to the New Year, poor students can only eat green vegetables and tofu for the New Year. He saw the big fish and meat in the house next door, and his heart was very uncomfortable.
Poor Shusheng thought in his heart: "Other people's families are thriving, but I don't even have a wife, I have become an old bachelor, it is really difficult to be a person!" Other people's families have big fish and big meat, but my family only has green vegetables and tofu, which is a failure! ”
The poor scholar thought about it, and he couldn't eat anymore, so he picked up a brush and wrote down a pair of excellent couplets: "Every year is sad and every year is over; there is no home everywhere." ”
Poor students are poor, but they still have talent.
This couplet has both negative and depressed meanings, saying that it is difficult to be young, difficult to get married, difficult to start a family, and difficult to be a person.
At the same time, the couplet also has a positive side to face life, and has a tenacious spirit of "fighting and not dying".
After lamenting that "the year is sad", the students still have to "pass the year". Even if a single stick does not make a family, shusheng said that this is also his home and still has hope for the future.
Regarding this couplet, there is another version of the folk: "The year is sad, the sad year is sad, the year is sad, the year is sad; people are afraid of death, afraid of dead people, everyone is afraid of death, everyone is afraid of death." ”
It is said that there was a teaching gentleman whose family was poor and borrowed a lot of money from relatives. At the end of the year, all kinds of relatives came to collect debts, which made Mr. Teaching tired of coping and really hated the New Year.
Just when Mr. Teaching was depressed and depressed, the rich man of the next door neighbor's family suddenly died, and the crying reached Mr. Teaching's ears.
Although not "schadenfreude", Mr. Teaching received a little comfort: "At least I am still alive, longer than the rich man!" ”
Thinking of the rich man's greed for life and fear of death in his daily life, Mr. Teaching suddenly came to inspiration and wrote an interesting couplet: "Years are sad, sad years, years are sad every year; people are afraid of death, afraid of dead people, everyone is afraid of death, everyone is afraid of death, everyone is afraid of death." ”
