Spring Festival couplets, wedding couplets, birthday couplets, elegiac couplets, decorative couplets, industry couplets, communication couplets, funeral couplets, scenery couplets, aphorisms and miscellaneous couplets. What are couplets? Couplets are called "couplets", commonly known as pairs. Concise and profound, neat and balanced, word for word, is a unique art form of Chinese language. It can be said that couplet art is a cultural treasure of the Chinese nation. The horizontal criticism closely related to couplets can be said to be the title and center of couplets. Good reviews can make the finishing point and complement each other in couplets.

The basic sentence patterns of couplets come from parallel prose and metrical poems. The antithetical couplets in regular poems or parallel prose can only be called couplets if they exist independently of them.

The types of couplets can be divided into Spring Festival couplets, Happy Couplets, Shoulian couplets, elegiac couplets, decorative couplets, trade couplets, communicative couplets and miscellaneous couplets (including humorous couplets ...).

Couplets vary in length, only one or two words are short; It can be hundreds of words long. There are various forms of couplets, such as pairs, pairs, flowing pairs, couplets, set sentence pairs and so on.

The characteristics of couplets The characteristics of couplets are that there must be both "right" and "couplet". In the form of pairs, they are "right" to each other; The contents of the context take care of each other and are closely related. The upper and lower couplets must have a complete and unified structure and clear and concise language. The characteristics of couplets are as follows:

First, the number of words is equal and the sentences are consistent. In addition to deliberately leaving a place for a word to achieve a certain effect, the number of words in the upper and lower couplets must be the same, neither more nor less.

Second, the balance is consistent and the tone is harmonious. The traditional habit is to "pucker up and fall flat", that is, the end of the last sentence of the first couplet is puckered up and the end of the last sentence of the second couplet is flat. This is mainly for the sake of harmonious phonology, scattered ups and downs, and pleasing to the ear. For example:

Clouds bring bells through trees, go to Ping, Ping, Ping, and move the tower shadow across Ping, Ping in Jiang Lai.

Third, the part of speech is relative and the position is the same. It is generally called "virtual to virtual, real to real", which means that nouns to nouns, verbs to verbs, adjectives to adjectives, quantifiers to quantifiers, adverbs to adverbs and related words must be in the same position. This requirement is mainly to better express the ideological content in symmetrical artistic language.

Fourth, the content is related, from top to bottom. The meaning of up and down links must be interrelated, but they cannot be repeated. For example, Gu Xiancheng, the leader of the Lindong Party in the Ming Dynasty, wrote such a couplet on the gate of Donglin Academy:

The sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of family affairs, the state affairs in the world, everything.

The first part writes about scenery, the second part expresses ambition, and the content of the first part is closely related, which makes it easy for people to understand the author's self-encouragement and self-motivation literally.

In addition, the traditional practice of hanging couplets must be written straight and pasted vertically, from right to left and from top to bottom, and cannot be reversed.

The classification of couplets is based on the content reflected and the occasion of use:
