"A father and son three lyricists, four masters of articles throughout the ages", this is a couplet written by Qing Dynasty famous ministers Zhang Penghui for Sansu Temple , fully affirming his Sichuan fellow villagers Su Xun , Su Shi , Su Zhe , and Su Zhe , in poetry and articles.
There is a sentence in "Three Character Classic" that says about Su Xun: "Su Laoquan , twenty-seven. Beginning to get angry, read books", The father Su Xun's courtesy name is Mingyun, and he named himself Laoquan . When he was young, Su Xun took the provincial examination for the first time in order to pass the imperial examination. Unfortunately, he failed. After the failure, Su Xun learned from his mistakes and couldn't help but sigh, "My learning is still unsuccessful."
The twenty-seven old Su knew shame and then braved. This is not simple, and it is worth learning from each of us. He made up his mind to burn all his hundreds of old works. He secretly vowed to not write any articles until his study was mature. For six or seven years, Su Xun sat upright in his study every day, studying hard "The Analects of Confucius" and " Mencius ", carefully exploring the poetry, calligraphy, classics and books of various schools of thought. He carefully pondered and understood Han and Liu's articles.
Those who have ambition will succeed. Only by hard work can you get rewards. Su Xun later became the prose master . He was particularly good at political papers. His essays have clear arguments, strong arguments, sharp language, unrestrained and eloquent persuasive power.
brother Su Shi doesn't need to introduce it. Everyone is familiar with it. This is a rare all-round talent in the world. He is proficient in poetry, articles, calligraphy and paintings. Even in terms of food, Su Shi can eat a variety of things. Dongpo pork , Dongpo fish , roasted oyster , sheep scorpion and these delicacies are all inventions and creations of Su Shi.
Su Che has a calm and restrained personality. Although his achievements in literature are not as good as his brother, he is much more stable than Su Shi in his career and his official position is greater than Su Shi. Su Shi spoke out loudly and opened his mouth wide. When he mentioned his opinions, the reformists and conservatives offended him all, and Su Che had to wipe his butt. Su Shi was demoted and settled his home everywhere. He didn't have enough money to spend, so he asked Su Che for it. Su Shi was arrested and imprisoned for the " Wutai Poetry Case ". Su Zhe directly wrote to the court, requesting to remove his official position to protect Su Shi's life. From this we can see that although Su Che is a younger brother, he is more like an older brother.
Su Xun’s two sons are so outstanding, so does he have a daughter? There is really, but it is not what people often call Su Xiaomei, but Su Sanjie. Su Xun's first two daughters died prematurely, and only the third daughter survived. She was one year older than Su Shi. When he was sixteen, Su Sanjie married his cousin Cheng Zhicai . When he was eighteen, Su Sanjie was unfortunately abused to death by his husband's family.
Su Xun recorded the situation of Su Sanjie in "Ziyou ": "A girl is young and eager to learn, and she is generous and extraordinary, and she is often happy to be a writer." It can be seen that Su Sanjie is a smart, studious and literary girl.
Perhaps out of love for Su Shi, or out of sympathy for Su Sanjie, later generations made Su Sanjie survive and became Su Xiaomei, and performed many wonderful stories for her, making Su Xiaomei’s fame among the people no less than her brother Su Shi. The most widely circulated story among the people is the story of "The wedding night, Su Xiaomei, the three difficulties of Qin Shaoyou". Let’s learn about it together:
Su Xiaomei was born in the Su family, a scholarly family. She inherited Lao Su’s excellent genes, is beautiful and generous, intelligent and clever. Because he was influenced by his father and brothers since childhood, Su Xiaomei has a high level of literary cultivation. Reciting poems, lyrics, and couplets are all her strengths for Su Xiaomei.
Especially in terms of couplets, Su Xiaomei is smart and quick-responsive. Whether it is Su Shi or Foyin, she does not get any advantage compared to Su Xiaomei.
Su Shi loves Su Xiaomei the most and also likes to be funny with Su Xiaomei the most.Su Xiaomei fights against each other with sharp counterattacks, and does not lose at all.
One morning, Su Shi was studying in the yard. When Su Shi saw Su Xiaomei pushing the door out, Su Shi's eyes rolled and his mind came up. He said hello seriously: "Good, little sister, I just thought of a poem. Please comment on how I wrote it, okay?"
Su Xiaomei looked at her brother's smirk and knew it. She smiled and replied with a crisp voice: "Okay, big brother, little sister listen carefully."
Su Shi shook his head and recited the poem: " Before leaving the hall, my forehead first came to the painting hall. After wiping the tears, I couldn't reach the depth, and I could flow two springs. "
Su Xiaomei understood as soon as she heard it. The eldest brother was making fun of herself. "When I took three or five steps before leaving the hall, my forehead first came to the painting hall." It means that my forehead was very high, and before the person arrived, my forehead arrived first, and "when I wiped the tears, I couldn't reach the depth, and I could flow two springs." It means that my eyes were tall and my eyes were very deep, and I wanted to wipe my tears but couldn't find where my eyes were.
Su Xiaomei reacted quickly. She smiled and said quietly, "Brother is really talented, but I'm also drafting a poem, and I'm just about to bother with my brother to give me advice."
After saying that, before Su Shi could answer, Su Xiaomei imitated Su Shi's head and shaking her head and chanted: "A bunch of mourning grass came out of her lips, her hair was connected to her hair and ears were apricot. The corners of her mouth went back to search, and suddenly heard a sound from her hair. "
This poem also ridiculed Su Shi's appearance. Su Shi had a beard full of beard, as messy as mourning grass. He looked at it at first glance and couldn't find where his mouth was. When he heard the sound of his mouth, he realized that his mouth was growing in his beard.
Su Xiaomei looked at Su Shi's stunned and blushed face, and laughed happily. She felt that she was still not satisfied, so she restrained her smile and said to Su Shi sincerely: "Brother, don't care, I have a poem, please correct me."
Su Shi thought that the little sister was giving her a step, so he nodded and replied: "Little sister, please tell me."
Su Xiaomei shook her head again He chanted with his head: ", the vast land is three thousand, and the road is wide. Looking at the eyebrows and clouds between the men. Last year, a tear of lovesickness flowed to his mouth this year. "
Su Shi grew a big black and long donkey face. The outline of the face is relatively flat, and the distance between the two eyebrows is relatively wide. Su Xiaomei continued to ridicule her brother's appearance, using extremely exaggerated methods to describe Su Shi's long face. A tear from last year did not flow to his mouth until this year. This shows how long Su Shi's face should be.
Su Shi laughed at Su Xiaomei's poems with self-deprecating smile. Not only was he not angry, he also sincerely praised Su Xiaomei and said, "If a girl is born as a boy, her fame will definitely be far better than that of her brother."
One summer night, Su Shi's whole family was in the yard for a cool cold. Su Shi suddenly figured out a first couplet, but he racked his brains and couldn't answer the second couplet. In desperation, Su Shi had to ask for help from his sister. He turned to Su Xiaomei and said, "Little sister, you claim to be a couplet master. Today, my brother will test you. I will give you a couplet. If you can match it, my brother will recognize you. Do you dare to try it?"
Su Xiaomei smiled and replied proudly, "What are you afraid of? Please tell me, brother."
"Listen," Su Shi said loudly: " The water fairy holds a jade hairpin, and the sound is blowing in front of the wind is slow. "
When Su Xiaomei heard this, she couldn't help but secretly admire her brother's talent. The first couplet of is too clever. There are three words and phrases "Water Fairy", "Jade Hair" and "Slow Slow" embedded without any trace.
couplets do not simply have equal numbers of words, but also pay attention to the relative parts of words and the combination of levels and tones. More importantly, the contents of the upper and lower couplets must be related and connected. Su Shi's upper couplet embeds three words and card names, and the lower couplet must also meet this requirement. Then how should the second couplet be correct?
Su Xiaomei couldn't think of a suitable second line for a moment, and she fell into deep thought. Su Shi couldn't help laughing proudly when he saw the little sister stumped. He ordered the maid beside him to come and serve tea.
After a while, the maid brought the tea and hired Tingting to send it. At this time, the bright moonlight shone on the maid, making the maid look particularly pretty.
Su Xiaomei took the tea from her maid. She lowered her head and was about to drink tea, but she saw that her maid was wearing a pair of red embroidered shoes. Su Xiaomei Inspiration suddenly appeared. She His voice said: "Thank you for your tea, I won't receive any rewards. I'd better give it to the second couplet first and then drink tea."
Then Su Xiaomei spoke loudly: "Su Meiren wore red embroidered shoes, and the moon attracted BBQ " and then started drinking tea proudly.
Su Shi praised it all the time after hearing this. The lower couplet of The lower couplet of the little sister is vivid and appropriate. The embedded three words "Yu Meiren", "Red Embroidered Shoes" and "Bbujiao" are perfectly opposite to the first couplet. Such a wonderful lower couplet was come up with such a short time. Su Shi is really convinced of Su Xiaomei's talent.
Su Shi has four great disciples, one of whom is famous poet Qin Guan Qin Shaoyou, Qin Shaoyou is a talented man in Jiangnan, and he is graceful. He is a generation of 日本語 日本語 , the best at describing the loneliness of migrant poets and expressing the love between talented and beautiful women. His famous line " Mountains are covered with micro clouds, Tianlian is surrounded by weak grass ", Su Shi is extremely admired, He is also Therefore, calls Qin Shaoyou "mountain is covered with micro clouds Qin scholar". The famous saying " If the love between two people lasts for a long time, how can it be sang by people day and night.
As a disciple, Qin Shaoyou often visits Su Shi's house and gets to know Su Xiaomei after a while. When Su Xiaomei saw Qin Shaoyou's elegant and elegant style, she felt good about her. She just didn't know how Qin Shaoyou's literary talent was, so she wanted to take the exam for Qin Shaoyou.
One day, Su Xiaomei saw Qin Shaoyou coming. She pushed open the window, stretched out her delicate hand, and handed Qin Shaoyou a piece of paper, which was written on it:
Push open the moon in front of the window with both hands. The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and it will definitely not rain tonight.
Qin Shaoyou understands it. This little girl is going to test me. He smiled and looked at Su Xiaomei, then looked at the lotus pond in the yard. He picked up a stone casually and threw it into the pond. Then Qin Shaoyou replied loudly:
One stone breaks the sky in the water. The sky is high and the air is cool, and the Ming Dynasty will definitely turn into frost.
"Frost" and "Double" are homophonic. The clever Su Xiaomei heard Qin Shaoyou's voiceover, and she closed the window with a red face. In this way, the two of them were handsome and beautiful, and fell in love at first sight. The great poet Huang Tingjian is willing to be the maiden, and the lover finally got married. On a good day, the two of them naturally got married.
Wedding night, the wedding banquet dispersed, Qin Shaoyou was about to enter the bridal chamber. Su Xiaomei became naughty. She set the last three thresholds for Qin Guan. This is the story of "The wedding night of Su Xiaomei, Qin Shaoyou in the three difficulties" that people like.
The first threshold is a sentence of the first couplet, requiring Qin Shaoyou to enter the bridal chamber after he or she is out of the second couplet.
The first couplet is: East wing room, West wing room, new people in the old house enter the bridal chamber, and their best man in life.
In this upper couplet, the "east-west wing room" corresponds to the "breeding room", the "old" corresponds to the "new", and the "lifelong best man" is the bride's affectionate commitment to the groom. This first couplet seems simple, but it has a lot of mystery. It is indeed not easy to express the second couplet.
However, Qin Shaoyou is very talented, and such a problem will definitely not be difficult for him. He remembered how hard his journey of studying was. Now he was hired as a professor of Imperial Academy by and finally qualified to marry a bride. So Qin Shaoyou thought for a while and wrote the second couplet:
Study in the south, study in the north, and was taught in the Imperial College in elementary school, and then she married the bride.
When Su Xiaomei heard that her man worked so hard and motivated, she was full of joy and quickly let Qin Shaoyou enter the bridal chamber.
In the boudoir, the red candle shines brightly, romantic and warm. The two sat down against each other, and it was time to drink . At this time, Su Xiaomei had a second problem, and another first couplet:
3 rounds of wine, exchange chess and toss, all the cups are indifferent.
Su Xiaomei's couplet is that the drunkard's intention is not to drink, but to care about their love, but to be implicit and gentle, and I'm sorry to say it clearly.
This is not a problem for Qin Shaoyou. He looked at the dishes on the table and came up with inspiration. He quickly said the second couplet:
The five flavors on the dishes are beautiful in shape, beautiful in color, and beautiful in his heart. The lower line of
is the same as the first line. Qin Shaoyou is nominally writing dishes. In fact, he is describing his wife, with a slim figure, fair face, and a beautiful youth. All the beauty of his wife is deeply in Qin Shaoyou's heart.
Su Xiaomei was very moved when she heard the groom's praise for her so much. She was shy and drank a glass of wine with Qin Shaoyou. After drinking the glass of wine, Qin Shaoyou looked at the bride with affectionate expression. He gently held Su Xiaomei's hands and said softly: "A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold, we should rest."
Su Xiaomei knew that the best moment in her life was coming. The groom was so anxious that she couldn't help but worry. In order to remind the groom to treat it gently, Su Xiaomei published another first couplet:
Although the little girl is small, she has small hands, feet and mouth, small but not stingy, you have to be careful. In this couplet of
, Su Xiaomei used eight words "small" to remind Qin Shaoyou that although I look small and delicate, I am not a stingy person. But you must be careful. When performing the tribute of weekly , you must be gentle.
Qin Guan understood Su Xiaomei's reminder. His wife was so virtuous and generous. His anxious heart gradually calmed down. I am willing to marry you. I only care about you. I want to give you a perfect wedding night. He had a flash of inspiration and then wrote the second couplet:
Young people, young families, young wives, rare and rare, I want to marry a girl.
After coordinating these three couplets, the couple and fulfilled their bridal chamber with satisfaction.
This is the love story of "The wedding night, Su Xiaomei, Qin Shaoyou, the three difficulties". This story reminds men that if they want to win the favor of their lovers, they must read more and be self-proclaimed. Only by using their own literary talent and cultivation can they truly impress and attract their lovers.
