#以书之名#
When it comes to the couplet culture of the mainland, it is like a bright pearl, shining brightly, embedded in the treasure house of ancient and splendid traditional Chinese culture. It is like a long river of history, flowing for thousands of years, and its source can even be traced back to the Qin and Han dynasties. At that time, the couplet was carefully made of peach wood board in the name of peach charm and couplet, and the mighty images of the two generals of the god and Yu Lei were carved on it, and legend has it that this form had a mysterious "evil spirit" effect.
However, with the passage of time and the popularization and application of papermaking, mahogany boards were gradually replaced by light paper and flowing ink. People were no longer satisfied with the tedious lettering, so writing couplets gradually became a mainstream. With its unique art form and profound cultural connotation, couplets are more and more loved and respected by people.
An excellent couplet, like a beautiful picture, is concise and far-reaching. It is not only a game of words, but also the crystallization of wisdom, with a long meaning and endless memories. Every word, every word, is full of profound cultural heritage and endless artistic charm, which makes people intoxicated and forget to return.
Couplets are one of Tang Bohu's favorite arts. He is good at splashing ink on the dinner table, between mountains and rivers, and even on the noisy streets, showing the charm of couplets to the fullest. His talent and wit make each couplet like a bright pearl, shining with the light of wisdom.
One day, Tang Bohu traveled with his best friend Zhu Zhishan, shuttling through the bustling streets and alleys. The shouting and selling sound one after another all around, the crowd is bustling and lively. Zhu Zhishan caught a glimpse of the pawnshops in the east and the west, and immediately chanted the couplet: "East pawnshop, west pawnshop, east and west pawnshop pawnshop." This link is like a difficult problem, and it cleverly uses the pun of "thing", which refers to both direction and object, which is breathtaking.
When Tang Bohu heard this, he smiled slightly, he knew that this was Zhu Zhishan's challenge to him. He looked around, looking for inspiration for the next couplet. When they turned an alley and came to a lively street, he saw casinos large and small. Suddenly, he had the following link in his heart: "Big casinos, small casinos, big and small casinos bet on big and small." This lower couplet is not only harmonious with the upper couplet, but also skillfully uses the pun of "big and small", showing Tang Bohu's talent and wit.
The ingenuity of this couplet lies in the fact that the "thing" of the upper couplet and the "size" of the lower couplet echo each other, like the yin and yang between heaven and earth, which are both opposing and unified. The whole couplet is evenly coordinated, with far-reaching meaning, and can be called a classic. As soon as Tang Bohu's couplet came out, it was widely praised by people and became a bright pearl in the art of couplets.
