The main activity of this festival is in the evening, so the fifteenth day of the first month is called. Lantern Festival? . Lantern Festival is an important traditional festival in China and a continuation of the Spring Festival celebrations. According to legend, this festival is closely related to China's ancient calendar and moon superstition. Because on the fifteenth night of the first month, people ushered in the first full moon night of the year, and it was naturally regarded as an auspicious day to revive and return to the earth in spring. As early as the Han Dynasty, the fifteenth day of the first month has been regarded as a day of offering sacrifices to gods and praying for blessings. Early southern and northern dynasties?

The Lantern Festival is very close to the Spring Festival, so there is no need to change couplets on the lintel. However, some couplets were handed down from the Lantern Festival in history, so we can see what people did during the Lantern Festival and the social atmosphere at that time.

Boundless spring scenery;

There is a celebration year.

? Endless? With what? Love? Yes, interesting, stable, auspicious and festive. ? Year? Generally refers to the whole year. Boss? This is a decorative statement, and this is the beginning.

Slightly insufficient, Next? For silence? Answer? This change, for the sake of calming the sound, makes the level tone not as tight as the white poem, but it is wonderful to add new ideas with ancient poems.

Visit the mirror in the sun;

Driving the sea of Aoshan.

Luan mirror generally refers to a cosmetic mirror decorated with Luan bird patterns. Tang Bai Juyi's poem Taihang Road:? Besides, in the mirror, my heart has not changed. ? Qin Taoyu's poem "Chanting Hands": Luan mirror skillfully combs, painting the floor and looking at the bead curtain. ? Both are used in this way. This couplet refers to the moon.

Three-star bridge connected with the moon;

Thousands of lights are shining in the sky.

This is a couplet for the Lantern Festival. The first part is close to time and describes the scenery in the sky. ? Three or five? , especially the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

? Jiuhua? There is a word that describes the splendor and diversity of palace objects. Nine characters are numerous and colorful. For example, there are Jiuhua terraces in the Wei Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms, Jiuhua Palace in Shi Hu in the post-Zhao Dynasty, and Jiuhua Hall in the Northern Wei Dynasty. As for the so-called Jiuhua account and Lianzhong? Jiuhua lamp? , and so on. Multicolor, blue, yellow, red, white and black. Historical records? Tian Dan Chuan:?

At the three thousand world music festival;

Twelve capital cities are brilliant.

Three thousand worlds, that is, three thousand worlds, Buddhist language. This is a small world with Xumi Mountain as the center and Tiewei Mountain as the periphery.

It's called three thousand worlds. Twelve capitals, from twelve divisions. According to ancient astronomy, the positions of the twelve stars correspond to the positions of countries and nations on the ground, such as the fire of quail corresponding to Zhou and the tail of quail corresponding to Chu.

Wan Li Yang Hechun has feet;

A year is a month.

Yangchun has feet, which brings warmth to people. After the Five Dynasties, Wang's "The Legacy of Kaiyuan Tianbao" contained: Song Jing loved the people and worried about things, and the ruling and opposition parties returned to the United States. What do you mean, people are salty? Have feet and springs? It's like spring everywhere. ? Song Yang Wanli wrote in the poem "Sending Jishou Zhao Fu Shan to Guangdong for Punishment":? Yangchun had feet to come to Jiangcheng, and Han Yin took the opportunity to move the stars. ? This is the first part? Yang Hechun has feet? Examples of the same usage. The second part is named Lantern Festival, and the fifteenth day of the first month is the first full moon in a year. So what? Take the lead? . The antithesis is neat, even and harmonious, and the use of allusions is flexible and quite difficult.

Five-night Star Bridge with Moon Palace;

The sixth street lamp stepped on the roof.

Five nights means midnight snack. Six streets, the six main streets around Chang 'an City in Tang Dynasty. Tang's poem "Provincial Examination":? Chang' an is a thousand miles away, and now it seems to ruin six streets. ? That's it. Bianjing also had six streets in the Northern Song Dynasty. Later, Sixth Street was used as a general name for the capital city. Tiantai refers to Tiantai Mountain in the north of Tiantai County, Zhejiang Province. According to legend, there is a fairy here, which was once met by Liu Chen and Ruan Zhao in the Han Dynasty, and later generations used it as a metaphor for a carefree world.

Yuyu has a clear moon;

Silver flowers have bright lights.

Yuyu here refers to the sky. "Selected Works" contains Liu Xiuxuan's poem "Happy Moon" in the Southern Song Dynasty: Yu Yu comes to the breeze, Luo Zhang extends the autumn moon. ? Song Lu You's Song of the Moon says: Dew wash jade Qing smokeless, crawling in Wan Li. ? In both cases, the use method is the same as the upper connecting rod. Downward? Yan? For what? Flame?

? Wheels? With what? Mirror? Both refer to the moon, one writes about the shadow of the moon, and the other writes about the moonlight. The former falls on the ground, and the latter describes the moon from different angles according to the sky. It is not easy to sing the moon in the midnight snack.

Mirage, falling stars and falling rain;

The wahoo and the honeysuckle never sleep.

Mirage, because of the refraction of light in the atmosphere, shows distant scenery in the air or on the ground. The ancients mistook storks for exhaling. Often used as a metaphor for illusory things. Zhang Changyi dotes on her, so please trust her. Li Zhan said, will this mirage last long? The meaning of couplets refers to the illusory beauty of fireworks and lanterns interwoven at midnight snack. Liu Yazi's "Huanxi Yarn" has a sentence:? The flaming trees and silvery flowers don't stop at night, and the brothers and sisters sing and dance for the full moon. ? The first sentence means brightly lit, bright all night.

If you don't light at night, it's a delicate world;

A moonlight night is nothing more than an out-and-out dry Kun.

Exquisite, ethereal and bright. Jin's Five Degrees of Fu:? Qiongzhi resists stem spreading, and the coral is gorgeous and exquisite. ? Tang Li Bai's Jade Family? Go back to my room and put down the crystal curtain, still looking at the exquisite moon through the curtain. ? All of them? Linglong? Describe the emptiness of things. Shanglianyou? Lights? It leads to an empty world, which is reasonable. Downward? Perfect? It refers to both the midnight snack and the full moon, and the happiness of one's home country or the perfection of merits and demerits.

Fudan is heavy and full of fragrance;

It's a pity that there is no need to travel by candle.

Fudan, the night has passed, and my vision has recovered. "Biography of Shangshu" contains "Qing Yun Ge": the sun and the moon compete for glory, and the sun shines brightly. ? Tang Bai Juyi's poem "Early Autumn in Qujiang": I am thirty-six, and Ran Ran fainted in Fudan. ? Hey, the meaning of continuing. Sweet wind, gentle wind. ? Divide yang? With what? Beam splitting? 、? Divide yin? Both refer to short time. The second couplet uses ancient poems, one of which is called Nineteen Ancient Poems. If you are less than a hundred years old, you will always be worried about being a thousand years old. The days are long and the nights are short. Why not travel by candlelight? If you are happy to arrive in time, why can't you stay here? Fools cherish expenses, but they are despised by future generations. Fairy Wang Ziqiao, it's hard to wait. ? Because the Lantern Festival is brightly lit all night, the crowd said? Why? . Although this couplet is not stable, it is rich and beautiful in artistic conception and quite rewarding.

Too white crazy, so invite the moon to drink for the golden bottle;

Study hard and you will have your own persistence to follow the book.

Li Bai wrote many poems about drinking on the moon and cited two examples. His poem "Drinking the Bright Moon Alone" says: Flowers in the next pot of wine, no friends, drink alone. Raise my cup, I invite the bright moon, which brings me its shadow and makes us three people. The moon doesn't know how to drink, but the shadow in front of it is behind. I have to mingle with them and enjoy the happiness of spring. The song I sing is bright and wandering, and I dance the shadow before wandering. Wake up and be happy together, and disperse after drunkenness. I am willing to stay with them forever and forget the harm of friendship, just like the Milky Way. ? His poem "Drinking for the Moon": When will the moon appear in the blue sky? I'll stop for a drink and ask. The moon will never reach the moon, but it is very close to the people. Green smoke as bright as a mirror is flying in the palace, emitting cold light. I only see the clouds rising from the sea every night, and who knows the clouds in the morning? The white rabbit plays medicine in autumn, revives in spring, and Chang 'e lives alone with whom. Now people are not seen in Gu Yue, but in this month they took the ancients. The ancients said, if people are running water, they look at the bright moon. Just look at the glass and sing loudly, and the moonlight can grow in a golden cup. ? Therefore, it is very appropriate to quote on the couplet. Rehabilitation refers to Liu Xiang, and rehabilitation is Liu's real name. According to "Tai Ping Guang Ji" and "Notes on the Chronicle of the Prince", Liu Xiang collated Tianlu Pavilion in the last years, specializing in meditation. In the evening, an old man dressed in black and planted a green quinoa walked into the pavilion and saw him sitting alone in the dark reading a book. The old man blew out the head of his staff and then burst into flames. Because he shone on it, he said it was before the chaos. Influenced by the text of Hong Fan of Five Elements, Xiang's words are numerous and wide, and Xiang's words are recorded by the gentry. Go to Shu and ask your name. Cloud:? I am a genius, and the son of Emperor Wen Jinmao (Jin Maodao is the sixth son) has a scholar who taught me how to do it. ? In my arms is a bamboo tree with an astronomical map on it. ? I don't know how to educate my son. ? Xin told this son, from teaching him the art of war to not knowing this man. ? This is the source of the next couplet. Allusions are relative and rich in meaning, which is the length of this association.

Fire tree and silver flowers, tonight is not night;

Peach blossom and spring water, cave in the sky, there is another day here.

I said it before the online link. The second couplet can read two Tang poems, one is Li Bai's "Questions and Answers in the Mountains": Peach blossoms are blooming, and it is another world. ? The other is Wang Wei's poem "Taoyuan Star": a fisherman is drifting and enjoying the mountains in spring, and the peach trees on both sides lead him to an ancient source. Looking at the brightly colored trees, he never considered the distance until he came to the end of the blue stream, and suddenly-strange people! . ? The first couplet is lively, the second couplet is quiet and broad-minded, and the antithesis is neat.

The moon is still round when it is missing, and it is happy at every festival;

Flowers bloom easily, but teenagers don't waste their time.

The beauty of this couplet lies in its plain words and quiet thoughts. With what? Is bloom easy? Right? Is the moon round without it? The most striking. Both of them are changes in nature, but from different angles, the truth is different. Goodbye? Lack? There must be someone? Round? At that time, hope, optimism and joy were born. So, the last years? Is everyone happy? . Goodbye? Open? Is it easy? Thanks? , hence cherish when reading, so the bottom allied yue? Mo? . The meaning is complete and reasonable. Besides, despite? Hey? Does it rhyme? Are you happy? No, the two are relative and slightly inappropriate, but on the whole, the confrontation is also neat.

The Central Plains is dust-free and wave-free.

The moon is in the sky, lanterns are all over the city, and the spring breeze is drunk.

The quotation of the first couplet comes from the ancient poem "Song of Digging the Earth", which reads: Work at sunrise, rest at sunset, dig wells and drink, plow fields and eat. What is Dili to me? Gai said that the four seas are peaceful, the country has nothing to do, and the people are bustling and happy. Downward? Open a bottle of spring to get drunk? One is drunk because of wine, and the other is drunk because of spring, which also means harmony and beauty. The alliance is right, the level and level are still in tune, and the work is stable.

To celebrate this wonderful moment, others missed the reminder and had to stay up all night;

Bow to the beautiful scenery and not change the goldfish for wine. When is that?

? Goldfish for wine? It's from Du Fu's Accompanying General Mountain Forest. Its poem says:? Cangjiang residual water is broken, Jieshi residual mountain is broken. Green wind breaks bamboo shoots, and red rain makes bloom plum blossom. Silver armour is used to fly kites and goldfish is used to hold wine. Walking around without sweeping, sitting on raspberry moss at will. ? In poetry? Goldfish for wine? With what? Gold mink for wine? The meaning is similar. The latter is the story of Jin Ruanfu. Ruan Shi, a regular attendant of Sanshui, drinks heavily all day long and often trades his gold mink for wine to play for some musicians. Tang and Zhang exchanged the scarabs they bought for wine, and so on. The old flavor takes this as an allusion, which shows that celebrities indulge in wine, have a broad mind and are proud of the world. The upper and lower couplets all express the mood of eating, drinking and having fun in time. It is a beautiful combination of rich meaning and attention to neatness.
