What's the point of posting couplets?

Is there anything particular about pasting couplets? First of all, we must distinguish between the upper and lower links. For regular couplets, just look at the last word of each couplet. The suffix "Ping" (one or two tones) is the bottom line, and the suffix "CuO" (three or four tones) is the bottom line. Secondly, couplets follow the ancient way of writing, so when they are posted, they are posted face up. Left side down, bottom attached. Finally, pay attention to the meaning of words and phrases, and stick them in the right place. For people in the city, there are not so many houses, and generally only one or two couplets are posted, so there will be no problem.

What are the basic requirements for writing Spring Festival couplets, and what is the emphasis on posting Spring Festival couplets? The ancients studied the content and form of Spring Festival couplets. Because the format of Spring Festival couplets originated from China's classical poems, the original Spring Festival couplets required strict words to be even, that is, every word of the upper and lower couplets should be in one tone of Yin and Yang, and then written in calligraphy with well-organized skills, so ancient literati regarded Spring Festival couplets as a profound and elegant artistic creation.

However, with the popularization of vernacular Chinese and popular culture, people have paid less attention to the strict antithesis principle pursued by the ancients, but a decent couplet should at least pay attention to equivalence in word selection, that is, the number of words and the part of speech should be relative. According to the norms of modern Chinese, nouns, adjectives, verbs, numerals and other phrases in the upper and lower couplets should be arranged in an orderly way, and the last word of each pair of upper and lower couplets should be at least even. Generally speaking, if the last word in the upper couplet is a hyphen (that is, the third and fourth sounds of Chinese Pinyin), then the last word in the lower couplet should be a flat tone (that is, the first and second sounds of Chinese Pinyin). This should be the minimum requirement for creating couplets, otherwise it is not called couplets, at least it is not a standard couplet. Translated from the Spring Festival couplets of Moscow Chinese Newspaper, Zheng.

Sticking couplets is very particular. Even if the new house is empty, it will never be mislabeled, but no one needs to go. It doesn't matter. There is such a saying, but if no one lives in your house, you can just post a couplet yourself, indicating that it is a house owned by the owner. When you get married, it is still necessary to change the Spring Festival couplets.

Is there anything particular about posting Spring Festival couplets? How to distinguish between up and down links? Measurement of couplets

Couplets are very particular about meter. Let's look at the rice requirements.

First, the number of words is equal

There is no limit to the number of words in the upper and lower couplets, but they must be equal.

Second, the sentence patterns are consistent

Refers to the rhythmic form of a sentence. Sentences connected together should have the same rhythm, for example:

Learning is hidden in the present and the present.

Civilization spreads things.

Both the upper and lower couplets are "222".

Spring Festival couplets

Many people put up Spring Festival couplets in the Spring Festival, and turn the upper and lower couplets of Spring Festival couplets upside down. So, how to arrange the order of the upper and lower couplets?

First of all, we must distinguish the upper and lower heads of the door. When facing the gate, the right hand direction is the top, and the left hand direction is the bottom. When pasting couplets, paste the first couplet and the second couplet.

The second is to distinguish the upper and lower couplets of Spring Festival couplets. Generally, there are four ways to distinguish: one is to divide by tone average. Spring Festival couplets pay more attention to leveling. The last word of the first couplet is flat, and the last word of the second couplet should be flat. For example, "Qian Shan laughs at spring" ("laughter" is a derogatory term) and "happiness is enjoyed by everyone in the world" ("happiness" is a flat voice). The second is based on causality. "Cause" is the upper part and "effect" is the lower part. For example, "urban and rural wealth is in the right direction, policy is wise, and food and clothing are plentiful", because only the "cause" of "urban and rural wealth" will have the "fruit" of "food and clothing". The third is divided by time. Time is the first part and time is the second part. For example, "the wind sends Ying Ge to bid farewell to the old year, and the snow companions welcome Mei to welcome the new year", and "bid farewell to the old year" comes first and "welcome the new year" comes last. The fourth is divided by spatial scope. Generally speaking, the small one comes first and the big one comes last. For example, "managing the family diligently, uniting and building the country, making the country prosperous and the people safe." The "country" in this pair of Spring Festival couplets is bigger than "home", so "home" comes first and "country" comes last. Thank you,,,

What rules should we pay attention to when posting couplets? (A) The origin of couplets As a unique literary form in China, couplets have always been loved by people. According to legend, couplets originated in the Five Dynasties, when people had the custom of putting peach symbols on their doors during the Spring Festival. Fu Tao is a kind of red wooden board with idols painted on it. Sticking this board is considered to have the function of avoiding evil spirits. Once during the Spring Festival, Meng Changjun, the master of Shu, had a whim and wrote an inscription on the mahogany. This is the earliest couplet: Qing Yu celebrated the New Year, and Changchun Meng Changjun not only wrote it himself, but also ordered his subordinates to write it. Later, this form was popularized and evolved into the custom of posting couplets during the Spring Festival. Spring Festival couplets can also be posted on other festivals, and all kinds of festivals have couplets with various names. For example, couplets posted for weddings are called wedding couplets; Birthday couplets for the elderly are called birthday couplets; Congratulations on all kinds of happy events called He Lian; Hanging couplets at funerals is called elegiac couplets; Wait a minute. Use different couplets on different occasions. Don't make mistakes. Once upon a time, there was an old landlord who was proficient in literature and ink and liked to be arty. One day, for his mother's birthday, he held a big banquet and hung lanterns to make a color. I want to post a pair of red couplets at the door, but I can't bear to spend money to ask someone to write them. Please ask Mr. Accountant to write them and post them on the door. While Mr. Accountant was writing, the old landlord suddenly remembered that it was for his mother's birthday, and it should be changed to focus. So, let Mr. Accountant change the couplets into: Days increase the life span of mothers; The old landlord is very proud of this. However, since the upper part has been changed, the lower part should be changed accordingly to be neat. Also ask Mr. Accountant to change the next couplet to: Spring Man, Kun Fu Man. After hearing this, Mr. Accountant was really in distress situation. He was surprised and asked, boss, this can't be changed! The old landlord solemnly said, you don't know shit! Isn't' dad' very clever with' mom'? You see, the old landlord made a joke when he didn't understand couplets, and we may make some jokes when we don't know anything about couplets. In order to avoid this situation, let's learn some couplet knowledge. In fact, couplets are not developed as soon as someone advocates them, but have a basis for emergence. In our country's ballads, proverbs and poems, antithetical sentences have already appeared for a long time, such as: I am dead, and the willows are reluctant; The road is muddy and difficult to walk, and people are thirsty and hungry. (The Book of Songs Xiaoya Cai Wei) Wise people enjoy water, while benevolent people enjoy Leshan. (The Analects of Confucius Yongye) Couplets began to appear at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Due to the prevalence of orthodox poetry in the Tang Dynasty, couplets became more common. Song and Yuan Dynasties were the development period of couplets, while Ming and Qing Dynasties were the prosperity period of couplets. (Zhu Yuanzhang adopted an executive order requiring every household to post Spring Festival couplets, which greatly promoted the custom of posting Spring Festival couplets. From then on, all scholars think antithesis is an elegant thing. After entering the Qing Dynasty, couplets once flourished, and many famous couplets appeared. ) couplets come from ancient poems and parallel prose, commonly known as couplets and elegantly called couplets. Couplets are antithetical sentences, but antithetical sentences are not necessarily antithetical couplets. Only when these antitheses have complete meanings, can they be used independently and posted can they be called couplets. (2) Metric couplets are very particular about metrical couplets. Let's look at the requirements of metrical couplets. First, the words are equal. There is no limit to the number of words in the upper and lower parts, but they must be equal. Second, sentence consistency refers to the rhythmic form of sentences. Sentences that are relative to the upper and lower couplet should have the same rhythm form, such as: knowledge hidden in ancient civilizations, broadcast things, and the upper and lower couplet are all "two-one-two-two". Third, the parts of speech are equivalent or equivalent, and the corresponding positions of the upper and lower couplets should be the same or similar. Content words and content words, function words and function words. Noun to noun, verb to verb, adjective to adjective. In the early 1930s, Professor Chen Yinque of Tsinghua University wrote a couplet in a Chinese exam, entitled "The Monkey", requiring students to write a couplet according to the writing format of the couplet. "Sun Walker" is another name for the Monkey King in the novel The Journey to the West. Many candidates were shocked to see such a "strange question". Difficult, so we have to find the answer in The Journey to the West. So, some people are against the pig head, some people are against the sand monk, and some people are against the cow. Some candidates were very dissatisfied with this question and wrote "bastard" in a rage. These answers can naturally only get "zero". It is said that only one candidate got full marks for "Hu Shizhi", but this is not the standard answer "Zu Chongzhi". Marking teacher ... >>

Can I post couplets to other people's homes? What's the point? Of course.

When was the Spring Festival couplets posted? According to the custom handed down from ancient China, the reading method of couplets is from right to left, which follows the reading direction of ancient China. Up to now, so your couplets should be posted on the right side of the door, with good wishes for the New Year written on them. The Spring Festival is coming, and all walks of life are very prosperous, posted on the left. The main entrance of China residential buildings sits from west to east, and the left side I mentioned above is south.

The standard pasting method is as follows:

The upper part is on the right and the lower part is on the left.

The characteristic of the first couplet is that the last two words (the last word can also be used now) are three or four tones (called pinch sounds in ancient times)

The bottom couplet is characterized by the last two words (now the last word can also be one or two (called Pingsheng in ancient times).

So everything goes well on the right side of New Year.

Welcome the Spring Festival, all walks of life will flourish.

When was the Spring Festival couplets posted? There is hardly any great emphasis on Spring Festival couplets now. As long as you see the new couplets on the morning of New Year's Day.

The earliest couplets were posted on the first night in Da Chun. Now all you have to do is paste all the couplets on New Year's Eve and greet the New Year on the morning of New Year's Day.

The order of posting couplets here and the precautions for posting couplets are about when your face is facing the door. The difference between the upper couplet and the lower couplet: the last word is the upper couplet, which generally refers to three or four tones, such as "Happy New Year to Qing Yu"; The last flat word is the bottom couplet, which is usually one or two tones, such as "FestivalNo". Changchun ". Couplet paste method: this should start from the position advocated in ancient times. In ancient China, "Left" was the dominant position. So couplets should be on the "left" side. The left side here refers to the position of the couplet when the back is facing the door. If the position of the couplet is taken as the standard, that is, when facing the frontispiece, it is the right side. Here, couplets are the direction. Look at that. All couplets (door couplets, column couplets and window couplets) of Ming and Qing buildings in the Forbidden City and Summer Palace in Beijing are posted on the left and right sides of the couplets. The same is true of couplets of many famous temples, places of interest, temples and Taoist temples all over the country. The tradition of focusing on "Left" has been used to this day. Even now, the seating arrangement of leaders at all levels at major meetings is from left to right (the "left" and "right" of orientation marked in newspapers are subject to readers). The couplets should also be posted in this order: the first couplet is posted on the left and the second couplet is posted on the right. Here, the last word of the couplet is Cuosh, and the last word of the couplet is Pingsheng. For example, in "New Year's Qing Yu, FestivalNo. Changchun, Qing Yu in the New Year are the first part, and festivals. Changchun is the second part. Some individuals regard antitheses extracted from poetry articles as couplets, and Pyeongtaek is an exception. For example, in Tengwangge, Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, there is a calligraphy couplet "Sunset and Loneliness * * * The sky is the same color as autumn water in Qi Fei". The position of the couplet is different: the last word "Sunset and Lonely Qi Fei" is the couplet, and the last word is "Autumn water * * * the sky is the same color". This couplet is the antithesis in Wang Bo's famous Preface to Wang Tengting in Tang Dynasty. Maybe someone else got the couplets from * * *' s whole calligraphy, or maybe * * * himself got the couplets from Wang Bo's masterpieces. It's another matter. But in Tengwangge, there are all other couplets with the ancient "Left" as the main theme. In fact, people are used to writing right first and then left, which means the same thing. From the direction of the book itself, it is from left to right. Reflects the philosophy and moral concepts of ancient people. So according to the direction facing the gate, the first part should be on the right. Look at the horizontal batch: now many people don't write in the past, and some write from left to right. So we mainly look at the horizontal connection. From the direction facing the gate: if the horizontal couplet is a modern writing from left to right. Couplets are also left-handed and right-handed; If the couplet is written from right to left, it is also written on the right and left. Supplement: First of all, what is a couplet? Couplets, also known as couplet, antithesis, couplet, antithesis and antithesis, consist of two antitheses: the upper couplet (sentence) and the lower couplet (sentence). Its requirements are both "right" and "combination". The same number of words, the same part of speech, the same structure, the same rhythm and the same harmony are all "right", and "Lian" means content-related. Between the upper and lower couplets of a couplet, the content should be related. If the upper and lower couplets each write an unrelated thing, and the two can't connect and echo, it can't be regarded as a qualified couplet, or even a couplet. After understanding the couplets, let's see how to paste them. After breakfast on New Year's Day, my children and I posted Spring Festival couplets together. The children asked me how to post it. I said, first separate the upper and lower parts, then the upper part is on the left and the lower part is on the right. The child asked again, how to divide it up and down? I said, of the two direct links, the first link is the one with the last word pronounced three or four times (that is, the pronunciation is unclear), and the second link is the one with one or two sounds (that is, the flat voice). Just as I said this to my child, two neighbors downstairs opposite the door were also posting couplets. After we paste it, we will also paste couplets on the doors of the unit building. When I went downstairs and passed the downstairs floor, they asked me how to post it properly. How do ordinary people post it? With this question, I carefully looked at the street in the second day of the first grade. Although there is no specific statistics, I found that the horizontal batch was written from left to right (not from right to left), and the proportion was still in two direct links, mostly on the left and mostly on the right. So how to post it is more appropriate ... >>

Do you know which side of the Spring Festival couplets is bigger? Generally, couplets are flat, that is, the last word of the first couplet is flat (three or four tones) and the last word of the second couplet is flat (one or two tones). The upper part is on the left and the lower part is on the right, which is the left and right of the door, that is, when you stand in front of the door with your back to the door. Also, the horizontal batch also corresponds to the upper and lower couplet, that is, the first word of the horizontal batch is close to the upper couplet, hope to adopt it!
