The mainland's couplet culture can be described as a pearl in traditional culture and an artistic treasure of the mainland. Couplet culture began to take shape in the Tang and Song dynasties, and by the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was already a household name, known to women and children. Because the couplet has a certain degree of interest, whether it is a dignitary or a common people's cloth, it is favored, it can be said that the couplet culture is really an art form of elegant and popular appreciation.
Whether it is ancient or modern, people are fond of couplet culture, couplets are short and concise, and rich in connotation, can express their own hearts, but also show their talents, read and catchy, is a word game that is appreciated by both elegant and popular. Especially in ancient times, people had no other games, so they especially liked couplets, and the well-known Hezhen and Ji Xiaolan also had such a story about couplets.
He Yan came out of the upper link "three pounds of four two five-flower meat", Ji Xiaolan to the lower link, and actually scared He Yan to kneel
Speaking of the story between Ji Xiaolan and Hezhen, many people know a little bit about the influence of film and television works. In many film and television works, Ji Xiaolan is a positive image, and He Yan is a negative image. In fact, the reason for this situation is because the image of both people in history is like this. Ji Xiaolan was indeed a loyal minister in history, and He Yan was indeed a corrupt official. Because there were a lot of fights between these two people, one of them was a fight about the couplet during dinner.
Once Qianlong took He Yan and Ji Xiaolan to eat outside the tavern, and He Yan saw a piece of pork belly on the table, he knew that Qianlong liked couplets, and in order to help the emperor, he said a shanglian "three pounds of four two five flower meat". Qianlong couldn't think of the lower link for a moment and a half, so he asked Ji Xiaolan how to deal with it, and When Ji Xiaolan saw that the opportunity had come, he loudly said the lower link", "five two six money and seven onions", and He Yan was not happy when he heard it, whose onions were sold so expensive!
Old Ji smiled secretly in his heart and whispered to Qianlong: The onions in the imperial dining room are this price. Qianlong carried a small book of bookkeeping with him, and when he heard this, he looked at it for a while, and said: The price of the dishes in the imperial dining room is really five or two or six dollars! This is good, And yan did not get cheap on the couplet, but also exposed his greed for money, really dig his own pit and jump ah. Washu knew he had made a mistake and knelt down to confess his mistake. Ji Xiaolan's downlink not only perfectly matched the upper link, but also checked the account of He yan once, which caused trouble for he yan, and the means were more powerful.
