Palindrome, a unique literary form, has become a wonderful flower in Chinese culture with its reciprocating and interesting characteristics. This kind of couplet not only requires the number of words to be equal and relative, but also needs to meet the requirements of reading positive and negative and having the same meaning. In the long course of history, many classic palindrome couplets have been left behind. Couplets such as "Fighting cocks on Douji Mountain, dragon hidden rock in the rock hidden dragon", whether read forward or backward, maintain the original meaning, showing the ingenuity and charm of the language.

Once upon a time, a palindrome of "Shanghai's tap water comes from the sea" attracted widespread discussion and attention on the Internet. With its unique conception and ingenious palindromic skills, this couplet has stumped countless netizens. However, it is under such a challenge that netizens have shown infinite wisdom and creativity, and have offered their own downlink.

During the Ming Dynasty, a pond somewhere in the south was called "Xiangshui Pool" because of its gurgling water. One year, a foreign official traveled here, was moved by the scenery in the pool, and improvised a couplet of "the sound of the water in the pond". However, after thinking hard to no avail, the official returned to the capital with regret. Although he consulted many of his aides, no one was able to solve his dilemma. In order to seek the answer to the lower link, the official even released a recruitment list, promising to reward the talents who can match the lower link.

A few months have passed, and the front of the recruitment list is still deserted. Until one day, a farmer stumbled upon a job list when he entered the city. He curiously squeezed into the crowd, but was ignored by the talented people around him. In a fit of rage, the farmer tore off the recruitment list.

Hearing that someone had unveiled the list, the officials' hearts were filled with joy like spring water, and they eagerly stepped forward. However, when he caught a glimpse of a farmer, his face suddenly darkened, as if a dark cloud had covered the bright moon. He ordered the innocent farmer to be expelled from the government, as if the farmer were a sinner who had offended the power of heaven.

The farmer's mind was full of confusion, and he inquired about the reason, trying to unravel the sudden expulsion. Someone whispered the ins and outs of the matter, and the farmer laughed out loud as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world. He said heroically, what is so difficult about this, just a couplet.

Although the official was puzzled, seeing that the farmer was so confident, he decided to give him a chance. The farmer looked into the distance, looking at the golden rice fields outside the palace, and his heart was full of inspiration. He opened his mouth gently, and the next couplet blurted out: "The golden valley is golden." ”

This lower link is like a shining pearl in the palindrome couplet, whether it is read forward or backward, it shines with the same brilliance. It complements the upper link "Ringing Water in the Pool" to form a perfect symmetry. The battle is neat and far-reaching, and it can be called a classic in the couplet.

Everyone present was shocked by this couplet, and the applause was thunderous, and the cheers came one after another. The officials were also impressed by his talent, and generously rewarded the farmer with a handful of silver taels. And this palindromic couplet has also been recorded in history and has become a treasure of the art of couplets, which has been passed down to this day and has become a good story praised by people.
