is one of the daily communication methods of ancient literati and ink guests. After thousands of years of precipitation, the couplet, because of its concise and profound meaning, changeable form, long or short, etc., has precipitated a batch of excellent and excellent absolutes from the past. Geniuses of past dynasties have a special liking for it, like Su Dongpo and Buddhist monk of the Song Dynasty, they regarded each other as confidants, and they left many interesting couplet stories in their lifetime, which makes people have endless aftertastes and a lot of fun. .
The Song Dynasty was a dynasty that emphasized civility and despised martial arts. The status of literati in that dynasty was very high. Therefore, in history, a group of legendary talents and women emerged in the Song Dynasty. They used poems and songs to entrust their emotions and express their hearts. His ambitions, like Su Dongpo, Xin Qiji, Ouyang Xiu, Lu You, Li Qingzhao, Wang Anshi, and Liu Yong, these celebrities often see their poems in textbooks. Are they familiar?
In the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a wealthy family in Kaifeng City, and only one daughter was born in the family. Therefore, the father regarded this daughter as a jewel in his palm and loved it in every possible way. He invited famous local Confucian and musicians to teach poetry, song, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. After several years of study, and her daughter was smart since she was a child, she soon became a famous local talented girl.
When my daughter was 18 years old, the people who came to propose were almost broken at home, but the daughter who was very opinionated in love couldn't look down on those dandy children, and just wanted to find a talented man to be the husband. Only in the future can we have a common language. Later, my father entrusted people to investigate those who came to propose, and selected three talented and upright young men from them.
These three lads all have fame, two of them are Jinshi, and one is Juren. So, the smart and talented daughter thought of using couplets to recruit relatives. She wanted to try the talents of these three people, and then choose the best one. Husband, this idea got the support of his father. Soon, my daughter thought of a Shanghai Lian
: the spring in the hole is endless
The matchmaker gave the Shanghai Lianhe to three talents. If any of the talents can win the second Lianlian. The young lady’s heart can marry her. The first gifted scholar quickly gave a next couplet:
next couple: the breeze in the mountains is oncoming
where “mountain” corresponds to “in the cave”, and “clear breeze” corresponds to The "spring water" and "endless flow" correspond to the "oncoming". The upper and lower lines are neatly played against each other, and the artistic conception is consistent, almost impeccable, which can be called a superb absolute.
Xianlian: Smoke billowing from the room,
's second-ranked scholar's Xianlian seems to be fine, but the artistic conception is too far apart, and the confrontation is somewhat superfluous and lacking in talent. The word "rolling" is repeated, which is a bit regrettable.
Bottom Line: The Bottom Line of the third talented person of alpine pines and cypresses all year round
can be called the atmosphere. Compared with Shanghai Lian, there is no wind, "high mountain" vs. "in the hole", "pine and cypress" vs. "spring water", and "perennial green" For the "endless flow", the overall effect of the upper and lower link is perfect, and it is a good couplet.
However, she did not expect that the talented woman finally chose the first talented person. It can be seen that "the breeze in the mountains is oncoming" is her favorite bottom line!
