Couplets, commonly known as pairs, are treasures of traditional culture and are deeply loved by the people. There are a large number of good couplets in history, which are worth reading carefully for future generations.
I'm a real swimmer, a couplet reader. Be sure to move your fingers and pay attention to me.
Today I share with my friends 2 celebrities absolutely, talented through the ages, the shooting case is absolutely real! Friends who like couplets can collect it.
The first uplink: the evil stream evil fish Han retreated.
Legend has it that there was an old monk in the Qing Dynasty who one day read the famous article "Crocodile Sacrifice Text" by the Tang Dynasty writer Han Yu and was very touched in his heart.
In the Tang Dynasty, teochew crocodiles were plagued, and it is said that after Han Yu wrote this "Crocodile Sacrifice Text", the crocodile really left, and the local people gained a peaceful life.
The old monk felt that Han Yu's article was "beneficial" to the people, and even said: "Compassion and compassion, people like Han Yu are really compassionate." ”
Suddenly, he thought of a wonderful uplink: "Evil Creek Evil Fish Han Retreats."
The repeated appearance of the word "evil" and "retreat" in this upper link is difficult to understand at first glance.
In fact, the evil fish in the evil stream refers to the crocodile in the creek pool, which has become a scourge for the local people, so it is called "evil".
And "Han Yuzhi" is Han Yu, because Han Yu is retired. The final "retreat" is the moving guest structure, which is about Han Yu's scare off the crocodile.
Not only can the old monk himself not think of a good lower link, but even none of the monks in the whole monastery can match the lower link.
Later, the old monk told this shanglian to many literati and scholars who came to the monastery to incense, but those so-called well-educated people were helpless one by one, and they could not think of a lower link that was neat and tidy.
Many years have passed, and in the blink of an eye, it is already the late Qing Dynasty. CaiZi Kang Youwei came to the monastery, heard that no one could be absolute about the lower league for many years, and couldn't help but think about it.
Then Kang Youwei said to the other party, "Actually, this uplink is not very difficult." ”
When the abbot heard it, it was very magical: "How many people can't get out of the next couplet with such a difficult couplet?" Can a giver really? ”
Kang Youwei pointed to himself and said, "Actually, xialian is my name: Qingguo Qingmin Kang youwei has a promising future." ”
Kang Youwei's lower link is to say that Kang Youwei, a qing dynasty citizen, was a person who "had deeds" . Two promising things are also two meanings.
(Some people say that the evil fish is a crocodile, so there are two meanings, one is a crocodile, and the other is a fierce fish.) And Qingmin also has two meanings, which can be understood as the people of the Qing Dynasty and the people of the clean and upright style.
I personally think this understanding can be had, but it is not necessary, because it is a bit far-fetched. ）
The abbot immediately clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Wonderful, wonderful! ”
This lower link is indeed talented and neat, but if it is really from Kang Youwei's mouth, it is slightly immodest.
But then again, no matter what later generations evaluate Kang Youwei, for the so-called "South China Sea Sage Kang Youwei" at that time, this "Promising" evaluation is not a waste of time.
The 2nd uplink: three light sun moon star.
I believe that many people have heard of this absolutely, and it belongs to the deliberately difficult "absolute".
The three rays of light contain three things: the "sun, moon, and stars". But because the upper link said "three", the lower link is not good to mention "three" again.
But the problem is that since the couplet is to be neat, the next link must be five words. That is to say, according to the format of "total score", it is difficult not to mention the word "three".
It is said that during the Northern Song Dynasty, the envoys of the Liao State used this shanglian to harass the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu of the Great Song Dynasty. As a result, after hearing this, Su Dongpo smiled and said, "What is so difficult about this?" ”
Su Dongpo's lower link is: "Four Poetry Style Ya Song." Because the Book of Poetry is divided into wind and grace, and Ya has the distinction between big and small, it is said that "four poems".
And Su Dongpo has other lower leagues, "Four German Yuan Henry." (The Four Virtues are Yuan Henry Zhen.) Emperor Renzong of Song was called Zhao Zhen, and this zhen character was avoided. ）
The emissaries of the Liao State were speechless in an instant, but Su Dongpo also threw out a large number of downlinks: "A gust of wind and thunderstorm" and "Six pulses of inches off." (The inch-and-neck ruler is the three pulse-finding sites in the Chinese medicine inch-mouth pulse diagnosis method.) The pulses of the three parts are called the inch pulse, the guan pulse, and the ulnar pulse, and the left and right hands are combined into six pulses. ）
The emissaries of the Liao State were convinced. In fact, Su Dongpo's lower link has tricks, but the upper link is deliberately difficult for people, and the lower link is already amazing.
There are many so-called eternity absolutes in history, all of which imitate this format, and the upper link frames a number, and the lower link cannot be repeated, thus increasing the difficulty.
In the Qing Dynasty, the great painter Zheng Banqiao also imitated this couplet, writing a couplet that showed his ambition and talent: "Three poems and paintings; an official returns." ”
