Couplets, a culture unique to China, are tributaries of poetry, fragments of word endowments, but they can become forests independently, and even become towering trees. If a city has a famous association in a certain place and is passed on to the world, the city can often add a lot of glory, as Li Bai said, "Once you ascend to the Dragon Court, you are worth a hundred times." For example, the Daguanlou in Kunming, Yunnan Province, is famous all over the world because of the long link of Sun Qiweng, and its upper link: "Five hundred miles of Dianchi Lake rush to the bottom of the eyes, draped over the shore, and the joy is vast and boundless." Look: East Dragon, West Spirit, North Winding, South Xiang Miaosu. Why don't you choose to win and ascend. Take advantage of the crab island Luozhou, comb and wrap the wind and mist sideburns; more apples and reeds, dotted with some green feathers Danxia, do not live up to: surrounded by fragrant rice, ten thousand acres of clear sand, nine summer hibiscus, three spring willows. Xia Lian: "Thousands of years of past events are in the heart, the wine is empty, and the hero is rolling? Thoughts: Han Xi Lou Ship, Tang Biao Iron Pillar, Song Wielding Jade Axe, Yuan Span Leather Bag. Wei Liefenggong struggled to move the mountain. All the beaded curtains painted the building, and they could not reach the twilight rain and clouds; they broke the remnants of the monument, and they were all paid with the smoke falling. Only win: a few pestles to thin the bell, half a river fishing fire, two rows of autumn geese, a pillow of frost. ”。 Another example is the Yang Lian of Du Fu Caotang in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, the upper link: "Different generations do not ask such a Jiangshan Dragon Pan Tiger Lying A few poets" Lower link: "Mr. Also Flow Yu has a long stream of heaven and earth, white wind and clear grass hall". We also have many famous associations in Jinan, which are worth appreciating.
The first liandang in Jinan is Du Fu's poem of Lixiating: "The sea right of this pavilion is ancient, and there are many famous people in Jinan." In the fourth year of Tianbao (745 AD), Du Fu Road economic south, Qizhou Sima Li Zhifang feasted on him at the Lixia Pavilion, Beihai Taishou Li Yongzhi Ji, Du Fu immediately gave a poem "Accompanying Li Beihai to Feast on the Lower Pavilion", which is two sentences in the poem. This union has become the first league in Jinan for thousands of years.
If this song praising Jinan cannot yet depict the style of Jinan, then the "lotus flowers on four sides and willows on three sides, a city of mountains and half a city lake" engraved on both sides of the moon gate of the Tiegong Ancestral Hall is worthy of the name. This painting is from the hand of Liu Fengyu, Liu Fengxuan, zi Chengmu, No. Kinmen, Jiangxi Pingxiang people, Qianlong fifty-four years (1789) in the third rank of the first class. It is said that he should actually be the first, a word was changed to the third place "Tanhua", Qianlong fifty-four years (1789) temple test, he came to the temple, curiosity drove him to look up and peek around the golden hall, but was unexpectedly seen by the emperor, the emperor angrily rebuked: "What do you see? Liu Fengchen replied with trepidation: "The minister wants to see the calligraphy and paintings in the palace." The emperor said, "Which characters and paintings?" Liu Fenghuan said: "Couplet, if the emperor does not believe, the subject can recite it." When the emperor heard this, he might as well put his back on his back, and said, "If you can recite the couplet in the temple, you will be exonerated." Sure enough, he recited the couplet on the painting on the temple, and the emperor asked, "Do you have such a memory?" Liu Fengxuan replied, "Emperor, the moon can shine on the world. Because of his unassuming appearance, Qianlong was suspicious, and immediately chanted out the upper link: "One-eyed cannot be on the tiger list." Liu Fengchen replied, "The half moon is still shining." Qianlong added, "East Qiming, West Changgeng, Antarctic Dipper, who is the star picker?" Liu Fengchen said, "Spring peony, summer lotus, autumn chrysanthemum, winter plum, Chenben Tanhualang." According to the talent, he should have been the middle of the yuan, but he had no choice but to say "Tanhua Lang" to Zhongzhong, so the emperor demoted Liu Fenghuan to Tanhua.
In the summer of the ninth year of Jiaqing (1804), Liu Fenghuan, the governor of Shandong, and the inspector and calligrapher Tie Bao of Shandong feasted and drank at the Xiaocanglang Pavilion, Liu Yinlian: "Four lotus flowers and three willows, a city of mountains and half a city lake." "Tie Bao impromptu Shu Dan. This link is still embedded in both sides of the west corridor door of the garden, and has become a famous link in Jinan.
Nanfeng Ancestral Hall, commemorating the Northern Song Dynasty literary scholar Zeng Gong, has a link in front of the door: "As a lake and mountain, the master looks at the ten thousand pulses rushing to the peaks; the Tang and Song dynasties have passed by in the past centuries, and there are Shaoling poems Zeng Gong articles."
In the eastern neighbor of the Nanfeng Temple, there is a lotus shrine, and the folk people worship the Southern Song Dynasty poet Li Qingzhao as the lotus god, and there is a connection: "It is Yefiye, the water fairy lotus shadow; return to Xi, the female soul of the Song Dynasty poet Zongcai." ”
The Jiaxuan words on the south bank of Daming Lake commemorate Xin Renjie, and have a link: "The iron plate copper lute follows the eastern slope of the great river to the east; meiqin mourns and ji southern Song Dynasty Mo flies south with hongyan", Guo Moruo inscription.
The most famous name is the "clouds and mist steaming in front of baotu spring "LuoyuanTang", and the sound of the waves shakes Daming Lake" because only it has the most Jinan characteristics and represents the characteristics of Jinan's spring city. Combined with Zhao Mengfu's poem "Baotu Spring":
"The source of the water is nothing in the world, and the white jade pot gushes out of the flat ground." Gu Xuanjiu was afraid of being discouraged, and the drought did not worry about the east sea drying up. The clouds and mist steamed without attention, and the sound of the waves shook Daming Lake. When the spring is covered with dust, the ice and snow are full of pure loneliness. ”
Jin Fen Shudan, a calligrapher of ethnic minorities in our city, talked about this matter, and there is an anecdote in it, at the beginning of the last century, the responsible comrade of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee invited the painter Yi Jutian to write this couplet, because Mr. Kikuda won the first place in calligraphy in the 1953 National Art Exhibition, but he thought of Mr. Jin Fen at this time, Mr. Jin's family was surrounded by disciples, poor, and had no source of livelihood. After Mr. Kikuda found him, Jin Fen gladly ordered the pen, and when the provincial party leaders saw this calligraphy work, everyone appreciated it and asked, "Who wrote this?" Kikuda said, "It was written by the Muslim calligrapher Mr. Jin Fen." And took the opportunity to tell his recent situation, and later Mr. Jin was hired as a "Researcher of Jinan Literature and History" and had a formal job. Today, this couplet still hangs in front of the "Luoyuan Hall" of Baotu Spring for more than 60 years.
"Buddha's feet are clear, fluttering and fluttering, floating down two jade belts; the source of living water, bubbling up, bubbling up, emerging a string of pearls" This couplet was originally hung on the Baotu Spring Luoyuan Hall, a "floating" word, a "risk" word thimble rhetorical use reminds people of Li Qingzhao's "Sound Slow", "Jade Belt" and "Pearl" are metaphorically compared to spring waterfalls and water droplets, after the spring gushes out, the east and west two streams merge into the Xiluo River, like two jade belts, floating down from the side of the Buddha's feet (Luoyuan Hall was originally Luzu Temple), and strings of pearls emerge from the flowing water.
The Li Qingzhao Memorial Hall in Baotu Spring has a connection: "The former residence of Baotu Spring on the shore of Daming Lake is in the depths of Weeping Yang; the Literature in the Golden Stone Record of Shuyu Concentration has the legacy of the Lord" for Guo Moruo.
To the east is the memorial pavilion of the May 3rd Massacre in Jinan, and in front of the pavilion is the Yang Lian: "The flat land rises from Changhong and sighs that the kings and kings sacrificed their lives to the country to forever leave a strong momentum for the rivers and mountains; the day of many difficulties is willing to support the pole and obstacle with the enemy from now on." For the Three Rivers Zhang Shaotang inscription.
The couplet of Xingguo Temple in Thousand Buddha Mountain: "The twilight drum and morning bell awaken the world's fame and fortune, and the sound of the Buddha trumpet recalls the charm of the bitter sea dream", written by Yang Zhaoqing, a talent in the late Qing Dynasty.

Shun, merit is like a mountain, so worship him, that is, look up. Noble virtue, that is, Jingxing, should be imitated by him, that is, to stop. The lower link is from the ancient "Qingyun Song", written by Shun, and the song is said: "Qingyun is rotten, the sun and the moon are bright, and the Dan Fudan is xi." "Dr. Sun Yat-sen created the Republic of China and made it the national anthem.
"Changyan GengGe, Junmingchen Zhi Jiuzhou Music; Qi Zheng Shi Jiao, Harmonic Rhythm and Four Hours Of The Same" for Professor Xu Beizhang title Shun Ancestral Union.
I don't remember much of Jinan Minglian, and the above examples are less than one of the nine cattle. In addition, there is a Chinese medicine shop, which is linked to: "I hope that people in the world are not sick, why bother with medicine on the shelf to make dust", forget which medicine shop it is, but this couplet is enough to reassure customers who come to grab medicine.
There is also a couplet of barbershops: "Although it is a skill, it is a top kung fu", with puns, implying praise, but also very interesting.
