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 cat, a couplet. Everyone must move their fingers and pay attention to me.
Today I present you with 2 pairs of exquisite couplets, which are exquisite and extraordinary, which are fascinating at first sight!
If you think my article is good, be sure to follow me, like me, thank you for your enthusiastic friends.
Pair 1: The drunken man's intention is not there; the gentleman's friendship is as light as it is.
In ancient times, a person set up a birthday feast, and a scholar also received an invitation, but he did not have money to buy gifts.
Shusheng had a clever move, found a red paper, and wrote this pair of birthdays on the paper as a gift for the birthday person.
Originally, everyone saw that the student only sent a couplet, but did not bring gifts, and they all looked down on this poor student.
As a result, as soon as everyone read the couplet of the students, they immediately cheered and applauded, and the shooting was amazing.
The scholar gained a lot of attention and appreciation, and became a celebrity among the guests, which was even more beautiful than the guests who gave gold and silver jewelry.
Why is this couplet good?
First of all, this is a couplet of "hidden words", and the key words are hidden and invisible.
Shanglian is drunkard meaning not in wine, missing a wine word. The lower link is that the gentleman's friendship is as light as water, missing a water word.
Compared with saying all the words directly, the couplet of the last word is hidden, which not only ensures the harmony of the flat voice, but also contains humor and adds a lot of fun.
More importantly, the hidden words also represent a "difficult to say" flavor, indicating that the students do not bring gifts for a reason, forced by helplessness.
Literally, couplets are also very flavorful. Couplets mean that good friends are not about wine or gifts, but about the "gentleman's affection" of mutual appreciation.
In this way, the couplet won everyone's sympathy, so that everyone would naturally understand the suffering of the students.
Therefore, this couplet is very clever and clever, and it is natural to win the applause of the whole house.
The 2nd couplet: People believe in words, I am worried, think carefully, the wind blows a pool of spring water; victory is glad, defeat can also be happy, how to end, the waves exhaust the heroes of eternity.
The couplet is written about Mochou Lake in Nanjing, and the author is Huang Tifang, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty.
Mochou Lake, named after the beautiful woman Mochou, is a famous attraction in Nanjing and has left many legends. For example, according to legend, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da played chess at Mochou Lake, and Xu Da cleverly won Zhu Yuanzhang.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang gave xu da the entire Mochou Lake Garden, and also renamed the "Game Building" to the "Victory Chess Building".
This couplet cleverly combines the legend of the hero and beauty of Mochou Lake, and the battle is neat and clever, which is a wonderful work.
The upper link "I was worried" is related to the word "Mochou", and "a pool of spring water" is related to the "lake", which is cleverly integrated into the name of Mochou Lake.
The lower link "Victory is gratifying, defeat can also be happy", secretly and "Winning Chess Building" look at each other, which shows the author's intentions.
It must be noted here that this couplet adopts the method of set sentences and self-pairing.
The first is the collection of sentences, which is relatively simple, that is, to extract the necessary parts from the poetry of the predecessors, recombine them, and form a confrontation.
Shanglian's "Wind Blows a Pool of Spring Water" comes from the famous passage of the Five Generations of Poet Feng Yanwei, "Gurudwara Gate": "The wind rises and blows a pool of spring water." ”
Xialian's "Heroes of the Waves Exhausting the Ages" is also famous, from the Song Dynasty literary hero Su Dongpo's "Nian Nu Jiao": "The great river goes east, the waves are exhausted, and the characters of the ancient winds." ”
Then there are the self-pairing rules. I've mentioned this many times, but I won't go into details here.
To put it simply, "believing in what is said" is not a battle with "Victory and Gladness", but a battle with "I was anxious from the beginning". In the same way, "defeat can also be happy" and "victory is gratifying" battle.
Carefully taste this couplet, the upper link mainly reflects the melancholy temperament of Mochou Lake, so that tourists can't help but think of the legend of Mochou Lake, facing the beauty of Mochou Lake, can't help but think leisurely, feelings flooded.
The upper link writes the beautiful relics of Mochou Lake, and the lower link writes the heroic flow of Mochou Lake. Through the "victory and defeat" of Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da playing chess in Mochou Lake, the author thinks of the various victories and defeats in history, from the past to the present, and thinks of the smallness and greatness of people in the ancient times.
Although the two sentences of the wind blowing a pool of spring water and the wave exhausting the heroes of the ages are the words of the predecessors, they have become the feelings of the couplet author here, which can show the author's talent. This kind of re-creation can be called a model of collection sentences.
Therefore, the couplet is not only neat and tidy, the literary style is soaring, but also integrates the author's feelings, the scene blends, and the realm is exquisite, which is really breathtaking.
