China's couplet culture and poetic culture are like twin brothers, linked by blood, not only in terms of grammatical structure, but also in terms of combat skills. Sometimes, a subtle couplet is a poem in itself, and a poem can often be subtly transformed into a couplet. Both cultures carry a heavy history, like two parallel rivers, each flowing, but at the intersection of the brilliant light.
The circulation and application of poetry has a long history, just like the flowers of the Tang Dynasty, and the couplet culture is like a bud in early spring, just emerging. However, in the Song Dynasty, the couplet culture gradually emerged, like the green leaves in midsummer, decorating the garden of literature together with the poetry culture.
There are many interesting facts and eternal absolutes about couplets throughout the ages, and they are like bright pearls, embedded in the long river of culture. The ancients often quoted scriptures and ingenuity when dealing with couplets, and couplets became an excellent way to test a person's astuteness and talent. When many officials select talents, they will occupy quatrains and require candidates to find the most suitable couplet in a short period of time, which is undoubtedly a great test of candidates' talent and adaptability.
Nowadays, couplets are integrated into our daily lives. When reading the four famous novels, we often encounter some amazing couplets, such as "The daylight outside the window flicks by, and the flower shadow sits forward during the banquet" in "Water Margin", and "Zen heart shines on thousands of rivers and moons, and the true temperament contains thousands of miles of sky" in "Journey to the West", all of which show the unique charm of couplet art with a lofty and vast atmosphere.
Not only in literature, but also in our daily lives, we are often exposed to couplets. The Spring Festival couplets pasted during the Spring Festival, the birthday couplets when celebrating the birthday of the elderly, and the elegiac couplets when remembering the deceased are all vivid manifestations of the couplet culture in life. People use couplets to express their joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and convey their beautiful expectations for life and deep nostalgia for their loved ones. Couplets have become intimately connected to our lives and have become an integral part of our culture.
Modern people are fascinated by the love of couplets, and they are not only keen to appreciate classic couplets, but also to challenge themselves to create new couplets that are unique and unique. A netizen cleverly conceived the Shanglian "easy to say, hard to say, hard to say", three repeated words are cleverly embedded in these seven words, forming a unique rhythmic beauty. It's as much a play on words as it is a battle of wits.
In the face of such an uplink, many netizens are eager to try, and one of the netizens is particularly good at the downlink "miss you, miss you, miss you". These seven characters not only match the number of words and structure of the upper link, but also form a perfect echo emotionally. The "hard to say" of the upper link and the "missing you" of the lower link reflect each other, showing a kind of helplessness and sadness that cannot be loved, as if people are in the deep affection of "the clothes and belts are gradually widened and they will not regret it, and they will be haggard for Yi", and it seems to be wandering in the pain of "how to cut the candles in the west window together, but when it rains at night in Bashan".
The charm of the couplet lies in its conciseness and profundity, it does not need to be long, and it can convey a deep mood and emotion in just a few words. At the same time, there is no fixed standard answer to couplets, and it is possible for everyone to create their own eternal pairs. This is also the most attractive part of couplet culture, which gives everyone who loves couplets the opportunity to challenge the classics and create new classics.
