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 guy who loves couplets. If you like couplets too, be sure to follow me.
Today I found 5 unnamed but neat pairs of fine couplets, which are full of literary brilliance and are obvious to all. Please enjoy it, I think it is good to collect it.
The first pair: not afraid of the lawsuit of a thousand pieces of paper; only afraid of the villagers three inch knife.
The author of this couplet is Yang Shiqi, a minister of the Ming Dynasty.
In ancient times, the second generation of officials was the most terrible, oppressing the common people and endangering the human world, which was simply unforgivable.
However, because it is the second generation of officials, not many people dare to take care of it at all.
For example, Yang Shiqi of the Ming Dynasty's Three Yangs (Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Pu) was an extremely popular subject, but Yang Shiqi's son Yang Ji ran amok in the townships, causing the anger of the common people.
Yang Shiqi had no choice but to write a couplet in name to warn his son: "Don't be afraid of a thousand pieces of paper for lawsuits; I am only afraid of the villagers' three-inch knife." ”
Although Yang Shiqi said that he was talking about the scene, it was impossible to really punish his son.
After all, most of the old sayings that "a prince breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people" are mostly words in opera.
However, as a common person, I still feel that Yang Shiqi's couplet has a certain truth.
After all, Yang Shiqi and these people flaunted their might when they were alive, but after they died, the real reputation and reputation came out.
The conclusion of the coffin is indeed "not afraid of the thousand pieces of paper for lawsuits; only afraid of the three-inch knife of the villagers".
What is heartening is that Yang Ji was later stabbed into the imperial court by Yang Shiqi's opponent because the people's anger was too great.
In the end, Yang Shiqi was forced to be helpless and could not save the life of his precious son. In the end, Yang Ji was sentenced to death, which was also a great pleasure.
Therefore, I am afraid of the villagers' three-inch knife, which seems a little unreal, but sometimes it makes sense.
Pair 2: Flower branches send guest frogs to drum; bamboo trees noisy forest birds report more.
The author of this couplet is Chen Jiru, a talented man of the Ming Dynasty. Chen Jiru is a generation of celebrities, and his poetry, calligraphy and painting are of a high level.
However, Chen Jiru was not very interested in the officialdom and was known as a hermit.
This couplet is written about Chen Jiru's secluded life in the mountains.
The birds in the mountains are called five times, and the frogs croak when it rains, which are all gifts of nature, and the noise reflects a kind of mood tranquility.
When we look at this couplet, it is not only neat and neat, the language is clear, but also has Zen and immortality, reflecting a kind of ethereal away from red dust, making people full of yearning for nature.
Pair 3: The flowers are everywhere; the birds are noisy when the cranes are loud.
The couplet is a poem of the Tang Dynasty poet Xu Hun's "Sending Lu Ancestors from Hengyue to Fuzhou Jiali".
"Ming ZhenJin walked to Yujing, temporarily staying in the sea to see high feelings." The flowers are everywhere pine, and the birds are noisy when the cranes are loud. Zhu Ge was cold and rainy, and the Bixi boat moved early tide. Centrifugal is not different from the water of the West River, and it is sent directly to the sails. ”
The couplet cleverly uses quantitative words, "many" and "group", "thousand" and "one", and the expression effect is very high.
At the same time, the couplet cleverly adopts the method of contrasting and foiling, the contrast between "flowers" and "pine", reflecting the unique high standard of the pine, the contrast between the birds and the crane, highlighting the crane's unique wind god.
The combination of dynamic and static couplets, with motion lining stillness, vividly embodies a kind of excellent wandering state of mind and cool and free Zen, and can also give people some artistic enjoyment.
At the same time, "the sound of cranes when the birds are noisy" also reflects the technique of "painting in poetry, poetry in painting", as if it is a painting with blank space, with unlimited reverie space.
4th Vice-Admiral: The Prince of the Crown, the One Who Has No Sage and The Prince since Ancient Times, and the Corporal of Ren, who has traveled to the two of them since then.
This couplet does not look neat, but because it is a set of sentences, the requirements for neatness have been relaxed, and it still belongs to the category of neatness.
All the contents of the couplet are from the "Biography of the Prince of Wei", and the couplet is also written by the Xinling Jun Wei Wujie.
Shanglian praised The virtuousness and fame of Xin Lingjun, and Xialian lamented Xin Lingjun's love and pity. It's praiseworthy, seamless, and commendable.
The 5th pair: There is a history of public works like a life, love guests, really make the reader generous and sad; its door is not thankful, in the present and the past, ask who can suppress the talent of Sai Lei.
This couplet is also a couplet of the Ancestral Hall of the Xinling King. Shanglian said that because of the record of Sima Qian's "Records of History", the good name of Xinling Junxicai was passed down for thousands of years, which made future generations remember it endlessly.
Xialian said that today, there is still a legacy of a prince in the hometown of Xinlingjun, but no one loves talents as much as Xinlingjun, and no one can pay attention to people who are not met by folk talents.
Obviously, while commemorating Xin Lingjun, this couplet was a little grumbling, lamenting his fate of not being able to display his talents.
