Couplets, commonly known as pairs, are treasures of traditional culture and are deeply loved by the people. However, due to the reasons of time, many good couplets have been buried in the long river of history, waiting for the excavation of people with relatives.
I'm a real swimmer, a couplet reader. Today I present you with 4 matchmaking seamless couplets, the level is really strong, it is enjoyable. If you like couplets, remember to follow me.
Pair 1: Five willows into the yin to move the chestnut; a peach like a bucket to Suishan Mountain.
This couplet is a gift from He Lusheng, a talented son of the Qing Dynasty, to a friend, representing He Lusheng's good wishes. Some friends will ask, what is this couplet written about willow, peach, mountain, how is it a blessing to friends?
In fact, the beauty of this couplet is not only that the confrontation is neatly arranged in letters, but also that it cleverly uses ancient allusions.
The shanglian "five willows into yin and moving chestnuts", if interpreted literally, means that the willow trees grow very luxuriantly and move to the place of "chestnuts".
Friends who are familiar with literature know that the great poet Tao Yuanming calls himself "Mr. Wuliu", and "Lili" is Tao Yuanming's hometown. Therefore, in the past, there was also the saying of "high wind in the chestnut".
In other words, Shanglian uses Tao Yuanming to praise and encourage friends, hoping that friends can have Tao Yuanming's talents and sentiments.
Xialian's "a peach is like a bucket to Suishan", on the surface, the peach is very large, but in fact, it also uses allusions. Liu Xiang's "Biography of the Immortals" records that there was a man named "Ge You" who rode a woodcut sheep to Shudi, and the princes and nobles all followed him to Suishan, and as a result, they all became immortals.
Suishan is rich in peaches, and there is a local proverb that says: "A peach in Suishan Mountain, although it is not immortal, is enough to be proud." This means that although future generations cannot become immortals, they can eat the peaches of Suishan Mountain, which is also delicious.
The next link uses this allusion to say that the friend's immortal qi flutters and does not stain red dust, just like the immortals. It can be seen that this couplet does not write about people on the surface, but in fact, the words of praise are placed in the allusions, implicitly and appropriately, which is really a wonderful link.
The 2nd vice-president: Dongge Liubin, the prince loves the world less; Xihe hugs, and the great Ru regrets Gu Laiduo.
There was an inspector in the Qing Dynasty, and his son served in the Jiangsu Grain Bureau and died at a young age. The inspector was undoubtedly very sad and almost fainted from crying.
At this time, the staff of the inspector son (similar to the master) wrote a pair of elegies: "The East Pavilion stays in the guest, the prince loves the world less; the West River mourns, and the great Confucian regrets that there are many ancient times." ”
This is really cleverly written! This inspector son did not do any meritorious deeds, and he was so young that it would have been difficult to write a link.
As a result, this staff member is very smart, and Shanglian said that the prince loves talent, respects talent, and respects staff, which is simply rare in the world. Therefore, after the death of the prince, the staff members were extremely sad and missed incomparably.
The upper link leaves infinite white space, concealing the author's pain, but making people feel a sincere intention. And the lower link is also clever, which is amazing.
Xihe hugging is an allusion to Confucius's disciple "Zi xia" who lost his son in Xihe and cried blindly. This allusion is used here to describe the grief of the inspector losing his son, saying that the great Confucian has always experienced this kind of pain, and hopes that the inspector will mourn and change smoothly, and not be so worried and painful.
The couplet cleverly comforts the inspector and compares the inspector to a "great Confucian", which can be described as taking into account all aspects of the situation, and is appropriate without offending.
Therefore, the inspector attaches great importance to this pair of links, and the shooting case is amazing. Therefore, this staff member later served as Zhi County, and received special care from the inspector, flying yellow tengda, and Qingyun went straight up.
3rd Pair: Yang Monkey; Li Xiangyin.
It's a ruthless pair, not only name to person name, but every word is perfectly matched. Li and Yang are both plants, elephants and monkeys are animals, and Yin and Zi are both earth branches, which is wonderful.
Li Xiangyin was a wupin petty official of the late Qing Dynasty, and Yang Monkey was Yang Xiaolou, a famous Peking opera martial arts actor in the late Qing Dynasty. Yang Xiaolou is the most famous for his performance of "An Tianhui", known as "Yang Monkey", and few people knew his real name yang Xiaolou at that time.
Seeing this ruthless pair, I always can't help but think of Mr. Chen Yinke's exam questions in those years: "Sun Xinger; Zu Chongzhi." This pair is very popular, and the "Yang Monkey; Li Xiangyin" couplet is unknown, so I will share it with you.
The 4th pair: Surname character broadcast string song, Wei Bai has become a different tune; the name of the sword pen, Xiao Cao has been a wizard since ancient times.
This couplet is a couplet commemorating the Ming Dynasty Suzhou official Gong Zhong. During his tenure as the prefect of Suzhou, Guan Zhong was honest and honest as an official, loved the people, and was loved by the people. At that time, the people of Suzhou called him "Qingtian".
The Shanglian is to say that the Tang Dynasty poets Wei Yingwu and Bai Juyi both served as officials in Suzhou, and That Guan Zhong also left his name in Suzhou after these two people.
"Leopards die and leave their skins, and people die and leave their names." Although Guan Zhong died, he left an indelible impression on the hearts of the people of Suzhou, which was enough to surpass those dignitaries and dignitaries.
Xialian is to say that Xiao He and Cao Shan, the han dynasty ministers, were both born from sword and pen officials. And Guan Zhong is good at judging cases, similar to Xiao He and Cao San, and are admirable wizards.
This couplet is not only neat and tidy, but also uses allusions to the invisible, and it is so appropriate, it is really wonderful.
