Interesting couplet story 16

(1) The wonder of the female prodigy to the female emperor.

According to legend, there were a pair of female prodigies and sisters in Xuanhua House in Tang Dynasty. My sister is thirteen, and my sister is only nine. The two sisters are very clever and good at poetry. One day, Empress Wu Zetian, who loves talent and literature, ordered an interview with a female prodigy. When the two sisters came to the Golden Hall, they couldn't stop looking around and felt strange everywhere. Seeing their clever and childish expressions, Wuhou liked them a little. In order not to make them afraid, he specially ordered to take off the temple instrument and kindly took their little hands to the promenade next to the temple. They came to the Royal River in the Buddhist Temple and saw a monk picking lotus flowers in the river. Wuhou said to his sister, "I will make a couplet for you on this topic." Then sing a way:

Who is wearing the lotus flowers that the monk picked in the river?

It is not difficult to use the four homophones of "harmony, harmony, harmony and harmony" in this couplet. The two sisters looked around, and suddenly they heard the strings of the Youletang eager and the songs curled up. The reason is correct:

Love plucked the strings and played them to Qinge.

This couplet also uses four homophonic words "love, piano, purity and youth" to cut the scenery. Wuhou was very happy to hear that. Then they passed a zhaobi with a war relief on it. The marquis of Wu studied for a while, and gave a couplet to his little sister:

Frozen personnel carriers smash ice cubes, smash personnel carriers.

I saw the nine-year-old baby blink three times, and then the top and bottom allied:

Longwo Longzhong Long Xing Longteng Longzhong Zhongsheng

Hearing this, Wuhou said loudly, "What a prodigy." I think: since ancient times, it is mostly men who have brought peace and stability to the country. It seems that such a smart girl will become a heroine in the future if she is carefully cultivated. So, I hugged my little sister and said, "You are very talented and resourceful. If you get the guidance of a famous teacher, you will achieve great things, so you want to stay in your palace for further study. I wonder if you would like to? " My little sister was surprised and annoyed. She looked at her sister, immediately lowered her head and said nothing. Sister looked frightened and couldn't answer for a long time. Wu Hou said, "Don't hesitate, you can write a poem to bid farewell to your sister."

Miss Jie looked up at the sky with tears in her eyes and immediately wrote a poem:

Clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, and geese competed to fly together.

You can't go home once.

After that, I burst into tears. When the marquis of Wu saw this, he sighed, "Every man has his own ambition, and he can't stay." Take my little sister home with a gift.

(2) Ji Xiaolan backbone dragon first couplet

Qianlong was the emperor with the longest middle-aged life and longest reign in Qing Dynasty. He was emperor for 60 years at the age of 25. He spent the longest time with Ji Xiaolan. At the age of 20, he became his bachelor's student. He often accompanied him to recite poems, traveled around the world and sang many stories with Ji Xiaolan. This is the birthday couplet of Erji:

The map of the empire of 40,000 Li has not been unified since Igu;

Fifty years of holy life, there are 9,950 years from now.

This is dedicated to Gan Long's 50th birthday, which is an unprecedented respect for his sincerity and work. The bottom line is to wish you your 80th birthday:

Eight thousand is spring, eight thousand is autumn, in all directions, the eight winds celebrate the birthday, and the eightieth birthday is in August;

Five Blessingg is well prepared for five generations living under one roof. Fifty years in the Song Dynasty.

These are two clever numbers, neat, natural and impeccable.

(3) Zhuge Liang's life is right

Someone used to regard numbers as the first part of Zhuge Liang's life:

Collect the two rivers, arrange eight arrays, catch six out of seven, light 49 lights before five feet, and concentrate on three concerns.

After this couplet was made, no one could be right for a long time and it became a famous "absolute". Many years later, many people tried to study it, but there was no result. Until the Qing Dynasty, a scholar surnamed Wu still made his fortune with Zhuge Liang's life, with five faces and five elements.

Take western Shu, gather people from the south, and reject things from the north. In the military account, the earth and grass divination in Jin Mu will be changed, and the water surface will be attacked by water.

"Absolute" meets life and is passed down as a much-told story.

(4) Yang Guifei Miao to Tang Dynasty

Legend has it that one night, Tang He went to The Upper Terrace to enjoy the moon, and Tang sang couplets on the spot:

Two people sitting on the ground.

Yang extremely alert, answer to:

January is bright and beautiful.

There is nothing surprising about the couplets sung by Emperor Ming of Tang Dynasty, except that the word "Left" is divided into the word "Man" and the word "Earth". Yang Guifei's comment on the following sentence is unusual: combining "day" and "month" into the word "Ming" meets the requirements of Lenovo, and compares Ming Di to the sun and herself to the moon. The moon can only shine by the light of the sun, and the concubine can only be favored by the emperor, express her feelings through the scenery, try her best to flatter and show her intelligence.

(5) Xie Juezai wrote a mockery of the gentleman.

Xie Juezai (1884— 197 1), a proletarian revolutionary and jurist, was born in Ningxiang, Hunan. 1July, 905, in Xiaojiawan, a secluded village in the mountainous area of Ningxiang County, Hunan Province, people rushed to tell each other: "Xie Huannan is a scholar!"

Xie Huannan was the name of Xie Juezai's boyhood. He studied hard since he was a child and won the praise of his teachers and classmates. At the age of 2/kloc-0, he accepted his father's order to take the imperial examination and became the last scholar in China.

Xie Juezai's father was so proud that he decided to set up several tables to celebrate.

On this day, Xie Jia was very lively, and there was an endless stream of guests congratulating him. Among them, several gentlemen also came. Father called Xie Juezai out to accompany him. But I searched the room inside and outside, but I didn't even see him.

At this time, a gentleman found a pair of couplets stuck in the place where he received the gift, and shouted, "Come and see this pair of couplets!" " "Everyone ran to have a look. Turned out to be Xie Juezai's handwriting:

After dancing for more than ten years, I won a scalper ticket;

Bowing in February and March, I earned several strings of cash.

Couplets mercilessly laughed at the gentlemen who congratulated them. They suddenly threw cold water on them, came happily and left disappointed.

It turns out that Xie Juezai hates the guts of these gentlemen and is extremely indifferent to the scholar in the exam. So when his father held a wine celebration for him, he wrote this pair of couplets to make the gentleman commit suicide.

After becoming a scholar, Xie Juezai never wanted to be an official, but engaged in education in his hometown. Later, under the influence of progressive thought, he embarked on the road of revolution.

(6) Why do officials care?

In the early Qing Dynasty, there was an official named Ren in the south. He often likes to satirize the right and wrong of state affairs and attack the current abuses, which inevitably offends some powerful officials and tycoons.

One day, the emperor sent an censor named Guan to inspect this place. The local gentry and tycoons waited for an opportunity to attack the officials maliciously. Guan only listened to one side of the story without checking it, and then severely reprimanded the official: "I heard that you like to teach others a lesson, which is not good." Now I have a pair of couplets for you. " Say and read the first part:

It is better not to say what people say.

Master tit-for-tat underground couplet:

Why bother to manage officials, officials and officials?

Hearing this, I was dumbfounded and left the customs.

(7) Hui Tong embeds characters to play the magistrate.

During the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, Buchang, the magistrate of Jehol, bullied no talents outside the Great Wall, so he went to the Jehol Poetry Society anonymously to find trouble. As the two dolls are at home, Buchang ordered them to find the owner quickly. A child said, "We are at home today. If you want to comment on poetry, just give us some advice. " Step chang helpless, answer a sentence:

Two fires are inflammation. Since it's not salt in salt sauce, why does it fade with water?

A child with a wink, smiled and said:

Since the two places are precious, since they are not turtles, why should we add divination?

Another way:

Two days of prosperity, since you are not a prostitute, why do you sing with your mouth?

Two dolls joked about the name of Buchang, which made him extremely embarrassed. From then on, Buchang never dared to despise the literati in Jehol.

(8) Wang Xiangchang held many meetings to satirize.

In today's world, in the year of reform, efficiency is emphasized everywhere, and every second counts. They all have opinions on Wenhai Huishan, and strongly demand to move Wenshan and replenish Huihai, and put more time and energy into practical work. However, the leaders of a county agricultural bureau were indifferent and held meetings continuously. Busy office workers work overtime to write materials and print documents, and often burn the midnight oil. The town leaders worked nonstop between meetings. Now is the busy season of autumn harvest and autumn planting, and there is no time to care about production, so everyone complains again. There is a man named Wang Xiangchang, who is very literary. He has been complaining about this for a long time, so he wrote a couplet and posted it at the door of the office of the Agricultural Bureau. This couplet is:

The day before yesterday, yesterday, today, every day;

You say, I say, he says, everyone says.

Horizontal criticism: what should I do if I am busy in autumn?

Although this couplet has a popular meaning, it is still a bit ironic!

Alas, what makes me sigh is: can modern scholars who boast extraordinary things and people who move books write them easily? !

(9) Number association satirizes "flatterer"

The mayor's son was caught in a crackdown in a city because of his misconduct. Ma Zheng, the secretary of the mayor, is busy interceding. This man is considerate, exquisite and smooth as a glass ball. Outsiders gave him the name of "flatterer". Just as the horse was running around, a couplet was posted on his door. This pair of couplets mocked this smooth "flatterer" with many mathematical and physical words:

The radii of curved circles are equal everywhere;

The friction coefficient is zero.

(10) Tragic Poems and the Answer to Children's Livelihood

Once upon a time, the most interesting thing in reading was to do the right questions, with teachers doing the first couplet and students doing the second couplet. The antithesis should be neat, even and rhyming. One day, a gentleman named Diao wrote a crooked line:

Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle.

Let Tong Sheng be right. The boy thought for a long time, but no one told the bottom line. Mr. Wang scolded, "You punk, see which boy comes out first!" " A boy listened and thought, let's use the word sir, so he stood up and said, sir, I'm right! ""Mr Nodded, TongSheng openings say:

Life is death, death is life, life is death, death is life, life is death, death is life, death is life, death is life, Mr. Dies first, Mr. Dies first.

Hearing this, Mr. Wang was so angry that he sat down in his chair and couldn't speak for a long time.

(1 1) Su Dongpo's couplet names

Qin Guan and Liu Yong are both good friends of Su Dongpo. Qin Guan is called "Eshan" because the words in Man are well written, especially the first sentence "Eshan" is a good sentence, which makes this word become the nickname of Qin Guan. Qin Guan's son-in-law Fan Wen is proud of her father-in-law's name. He often introduces himself and says, "I'm Samuel Wei Yun's son-in-law." People do cast envious eyes.

At that time, Liu Tuntian's "Broken Array" also had a famous "Revealing the Reflection of Flowers". So people at that time also called Liu Tuntian "the reflection of flowers".

On one occasion, Su Dongpo was drinking at the same table with Qin Guan and Liu Tuntian. When the wine was half drunk, Su Dongpo was full of poetry and casually combined their names and posthumous title into a couplet:

Samuel Wei Yun Qin Xueshi;

Exposing flowers reflects willow wasteland.

Qin and Liu laughed and were deeply moved by Dongpo's wit.

(12) Su Dongpo plays Zhang Sanying.

Zhang Xian, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, likes to write slow ci, and his ci is good at describing the love between men and women. He was nicknamed "Zhang Sanying" for three quatrains: "Clouds break the moon to make a shadow", "Curtain rolls a shadow" and "Falling lightly without a shadow". After he retired to the countryside in his later years, he was over eighty years old and had a geisha at home. On one occasion, Su Dongpo visited him and presented a pair of couplets to mock Zhang Xian. The couplet reads:

The poet is old and Yingying is here;

Yan Yan was busy when her son came back.

In the couplets, the story of Yingying Biography written by Yuan Zhen in the Tang Dynasty (which developed into a musical The West Chamber in the Yuan Dynasty) was quoted, and Zhang Xian was compared to Zhang Xun, a scholar who had sex with others. Zhang Xiande also has couplets, a couplet wrote:

Sorrow is like a squid, always knowing the night;

Laziness is busy with butterflies for spring.

This pair of couplets made a confession to themselves, with good rhymes and words, which won Dongpo's appreciation.

Fo Yin and Su Xiaomei play together.

Su Dongpo and Fo Yin talked about Buddhism, while Fo Yin boasted about the boundless power of Buddhism and the boundless dharma. Su Dongpo's sister, Su Xiaomei, eavesdropped behind the curtain and wanted to stab him, so she wrote a pair of couplets with Chinese characters, and asked the maid to take them out and give them to Su Dongpo. Dongpo took one look and said, "Interesting, interesting!" Then read it to Fo Yin:

Man used to be a monk, but he can become a Buddha.

Fo Yin saw that he was being sarcastic. How could he give up willingly? After some thinking, he finally got the antithetical couplet. Write it out and give it to Dongpo. Dongpo saw it and gave it to Su Xiaomei. Su Xiaomei looked at it:

A woman is humble as a maid, and a woman can be called a slave.

One day, Su Xiaomei was struggling with Su Dongpo's poems. Unexpectedly, after Fo Yin came in, she quickly hid in her account. Fo Yin saw this situation, that is, the mouth accounts for a couplet:

Beauty sits in a green gauze tent and a peony in a gauze cage.

The little sister thought, this monk is really annoying. His brothers and sisters were talking excitedly, but you broke them up, and you were still singing and playing with me. Okay, I'll call you back and scold you. So, read aloud a way:

Wash monks and soak gourds by the clear water pool.

"Water soaked gourd!" Su Dongpo clapped his hands and called it wonderful. Fo Yin had to touch the bald wry smile.

(14) Dongpo satirizes the host.

One day, when Su Dongpo visited a temple, he was disgusted to hear that the monk in charge of the temple had misbehaved. However, the host treated the famous Su Dongpo respectfully, entertained him for several weeks, and asked Dongpo for words many times. Su Dongpo pen in hand, a brush:

The sunset glow is fragrant, removing all the dust;

The fire is cold, so tie up a horse.

The host hung the couplets high, and many scholars laughed when they saw them. It turns out that there are two puzzles in this couplet, and the answer is "bald donkey".

(15) Master Diao Shu's romantic life.

Once upon a time, a member had a daughter, a son, a daughter and a wife who were getting married. My son is still young and studying at school. The teachers and students in that school are very slippery, and they often leave homework for their students and go out to wander. One day, he gave the students a line:

A visitor's visit awakened Wan Li's dream of spring.

Students don't deserve it, so they ask their sisters for it. My sisters are right:

No one * * * pillow, waste a infatuation.

When the school teacher came back to ask, he knew that the elder sister was right. He was romantic and thought that the young lady was interested in him, so he added:

Six feet, three feet tied to the waist, three feet falling.

Miss, after reading it, wrote with a brush:

A quilt, half a bed to cover the body, half a bed idle.

As soon as the teacher thought that the young lady had no doubt about her feelings, she wanted to ask her out at once. Naked wrote a pair of couplets:

The wind is tight and the forest is dense. Ask the woodcutter where to start.

Miss see ShuShi useful, immediately severely reprimanded:

The mountain is high and the water is deep, so advise the fisherman to turn back as soon as possible.

Shu Shi saw it, and his heart was half cold, but he didn't give up. He crustily skin of head, continue to communicate:

Peach, plum, apricot and plum, when will these flowers bloom?

Miss you're welcome to return a way:

Rice, wheat and millet, this hybrid is Mr. He.

At this point, the teacher can do nothing, but his heart is always angry. Soon, I watched the young lady get married. A year later, the young lady gave birth to a pair of male twins and went back to her parents' home for a full moon. Clever teacher leaned in, pointing to the twins with miss said:

Who is the husband's son and who is the youngest son?

Miss a listen to, once again, Shushi foul language, just face Yan way:

The afterlife is my son and my husband is my son.

Shu asked for it and felt ashamed, and all the guests present laughed their heads off.

(16) Su Dongpo's famous doctor coup combination

Su Dongpo not only has great achievements in literature, but also has great attainments in medicine, so he is called "Confucian doctor". He devoted himself to medical research when he was a magistrate in Hangzhou. At that time, plagues often occurred in this area and many people died. In order to free the people from illness, Su Dongpo took out dozens of taels of gold from his salary and built a clinic called Anle in the city, which was dedicated to treating people and cured nearly a thousand patients in three years.

Legend has it that there is a Pangjiazhuang in the west of Hangzhou. When the owner's surname is Pang Ming Ann, this person is very generous, helping the poor and giving charity. He is a famous old Chinese doctor. He likes socializing and reciting poems and talking about the past and the present. Therefore, they have a close relationship with Su Dongpo and often talk about poetry and discuss medicine together.

One day, Su Dongpo was sitting in his study reading a medical book, and an official outside came to report: "Report to your honor, Mr. Pang outside the government asks to see Chinese medicine." Su Dongpo quickly said "please". Before the leader led Dr. Pang down to the study, he looked up and saw two new lanterns hanging by the door. He couldn't help singing a couplet:

Lantern cage lights, paper (orange) shell originally only windproof;

Su Dongpo just went out to meet him. After listening to this, he pondered for a while, immediately got the message, and then continued to bottom allied:

You can't knock on dried tangerine peel for half a day (summer).

The two men smiled at each other and walked arm in arm into the backyard. There is a small garden in the middle of the yard. Pang TCM saw green bamboo growing in the garden and had a brainwave, praising:

Bamboo leaves are the most suitable for heatstroke prevention;

Su Dongpo freely to himself:

Typhoid fever is especially wonderful, Bupleurum.

Two people sat down at the edge of the garden, the village chief handed fragrant tea, and they chatted while drinking tea. They talk about famous doctors from famous poems and medicine from couplets. It's really diamond cut diamond. They tied the knot and knew each other. Suddenly, a breeze blew and brought flowers. Dr. Pang looked up and saw the roses in the garden in full bloom, charming and charming. He touched the scene, and a pair of couplets:

Roses bloom, fragrant in seven or eight miles;

Su Dongpo listened to him sing another couplet and blurted out without thinking:

Buttonwood is big, and you eat 50 or 60 tablets a day.

PangAnshi sat for a while, left, and freely went out again:

China has relatives everywhere, no matter where.

Su Dongpo replied with a smile:

When the spring breeze comes, there are flowers everywhere, but they smell like musk and wood.

"Fructus Aurantii, Radix Saposhnikoviae, Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae, Rhizoma Pinelliae, Herba Lophatheri, Radix Bupleuri, Flos Rosae Rugosae, Peach Blossom, Radix Rehmanniae, Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, Herba Agastaches and Radix Aucklandiae" in Lianzhong are all Chinese medicine names. The couplets are neat, harmonious and interesting.

(17) How did Fu Tao come from?

Couplets are also called Fu Tao, which is a myth that originated in ancient times. Legend has it that in the vast sea, there is a Dushuo Mountain with a big peach tree on it. This peach tree is unstoppable, and its branches are coiled for three thousand miles. There is a place in the northeast where peach branches are sparse, forming a door called "ghost door", through which all the "ghosts" in the world go in and out for inspection. There are two gatekeepers, one is Tea (Yin Shu, shū) and the other is Lei Yu (Yin Yuli, Yuri Eberwein). They are two brothers, and both have the ability to distinguish between "good ghosts" and "evil ghosts". Anyone who sees "evil spirits" who make trouble for no reason and harm others will tie them up with reed ropes and feed them to tigers. Because these two brothers can help people ward off evil spirits, it is said that from the time of the Yellow Emperor, people nailed red boards on the doors and painted the images of two gods. This is the keeper. Around the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period or earlier, some people stopped drawing door gods and only wrote the names of two gods on mahogany boards. But one side is the word "tea" and the other side is the word "Lei Yu", which is asymmetrical and unsightly, so the word "God" is added in front of it.

Become: Lei Yu Shen Tu

Lei Yu; Shen Tu "may be regarded as the earliest man (God) couple, which is the" symbol of peach blossom ". Its appearance is a key step in the production of couplets. Later, auspicious characters were used to replace the names of the two gods, and ordinary boards (or red paper) were used to replace red boards, thus completing the evolution of couplets. At this time, get rid of the previous myth and move towards real life.

However, until today, people still call Spring Festival couplets (or couplets) the symbol of peaches; The Story of Fu Tao may never be finished!

(18) Divide the words into two groups.

Mo Xuanqing of the Tang Dynasty was a native of Fengchuan (now Fengkai, Guangdong). 17 years old, became the first scholar in Guangdong and Guangxi, and was known as one of the "Eight Talents in Lingnan". At the age of seven, he wrote a poem with clear ambition (expressing his ambition):

Handsome in the world, who can help the sage?

I come from Shannan, but I am different from all birds.

Therefore, they are called prodigies. A county magistrate named Liang passed by Fengchuan and wanted to see how "divine" this prodigy was, so he went to Mo's house. Someone shouted "Mr. Liang is coming!" Mo Xuanqing came out to meet him politely and gave him a big gift. Liang Zhi asked, "Are you a famous son of the Mo family?" Mo Xuanqing replied: "Yes, my Lord." Hearing this, the magistrate of a county, I give you "support", you "pick up" in the past, without any concession, and then ask him:

Is the child number 20 big?

This is to combine the words "twenty", "day" and "big" into "Mo". Mo Xuanqing thought, "Famous" is not what I said. Why are you mocking me? This is the bottom line:

Three or two pieces of wood can't be an official.

This is to divide the word "beam" into "three", "blade" (the common word "two" in business) and "wood". The magistrate of a county knew that the child was really smart and told everyone that Mo Xuanqing was really famous.

(19) West Lake Moon Powder Couplet

Yue Fei was killed by Emperor Gaozong and Qin Gui on 1 142654381October 27th, and Song Xiaozong was politely reburied at the foot of Qixia Mountain, which is the Yuefen near the West Lake. There is such a couplet in front of Yuefen:

Good and evil have been the same since ancient times.

Fame is judged to be true or false today.

This couplet clearly expresses people's different attitudes towards Yue Fei and Qin Gui.

Another couplet on both sides of the gate of Wang Yue Temple is:

Castle peak has the honor of burying loyal bones.

White iron casts innocent courtiers.

It is said that this couplet was written by a woman named Xu. She expressed her reverence for Yue Fei and her hatred for Qin Gui by personification and contrast.

(20) Teachers and students enjoy the moonlit night.

Li Qunyu in the Tang Dynasty was a very famous genius, and his poems were beautiful. When he was a child, he was familiar with poetry books and often opposed his teachers. Teachers like his smart and studious spirit and often teach him.

One day, the teacher and the students went out for a walk together. They walked on a path with a bright moon in the sky, and temple bells rang in the distance. There are bamboo forests on both sides of the path, and flowers come from time to time in the bamboo forests. In this quiet place, the teacher sang a line poetically:

The wind blows the bell, which is fragrant and ringing.

Li Qunyu was also fascinated by the surrounding scenery. Hearing the teacher's couplets, he looked around and saw the bright moon shining like water. Fireflies are flying in the bamboo forests on both sides of the path from time to time, and the light of fireflies is sparkly. He immediately said to himself:

According to the moonlight, fireflies and bamboo are bright, bright and cool.

The conjunctions subtly depict the scenery under the bright moon, which makes people feel as if they are there. This is really a wonderful picture.

(2 1) Rebuilding Yue Fei's Tomb

After ten years of turmoil, Yue Temple is doomed. Not only was Yue Fei "knocked down", but even the temple was smashed to pieces. 1977, Yue Temple was renovated on a larger scale. The statue of Yue Fei sat on the temple again, and the iron statues of the four traitors knelt on the steps again. An unsigned new couplet wrote:

Seventeen years after the recovery of mountains and rivers, four disasters suddenly occurred, destroying graves and abandoning statues, and destroying loyal souls;

The devil has been brave for two or five years, and Lai Qunying has bravely spoken out, eliminating evil and punishing evil, and the temple tomb has to be rebuilt.

This couplet not only tells the story of the ten-year catastrophe in Yue Temple, but also shows people's memory of heroes. It is really a rare masterpiece.

(22) sinners are reviled through the ages.

Next to the tomb wall in front of the Moon Tomb, facing the Moon Tomb, an iron statue of historical sinners, together with Qin Gui and his accomplices Wan Sixie and Zhang Jun, was imprisoned in an iron shed, in order to make these treacherous court officials kneel at Yue Fei's feet forever and apologize. According to historical records, when Wang Yue Temple was first built, tourists came to worship day and night in an endless stream. When four iron statues were cast and placed, tourists spit on the iron statues of Qin Gui and his wife to express their dissatisfaction. Others used the style of blaming and blaming the king, and hung up and hung down two couplets on the iron statue of the king:

Qin Gui: "Cough! The servant is heartbroken, so what about having a good wife? "

Wang: "Hey! Although a woman has a long tongue, she is not an old thief! "

This couplet, written humorously, vividly depicts the ugly psychological state of two historical criminals at that time.

(23) child prodigy

Wang Yucheng, a famous poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, is a very clever and talented person. He can write poetry at the age of six and prose at the age of seven. People call him a prodigy.

One day, the guests and friends of the county satrap gathered together and had a big banquet, which was very lively. At this time, Wang Yucheng also sat down with people in the position of "little friend" of the county satrap. At the banquet, the prefect of the county was very happy, so he made a couplet for everyone to attend:

Parrots can talk like chickens.

After this sentence, all the guests began to try, and people racked their brains to think. However, after a long time, no one could answer. After a while, several acid scholars who were "sharp-tongued and thick-skinned, with empty stomachs" made irresponsible remarks. Hearing this, the prefect shook his head and denied it. Then he urged all the guests to continue the conversation. Many guests still can't think of a good couple, which makes the county magistrate very disappointed. At this time, Xiao Wang Yucheng had already thought about it in his mind, so he said loudly in a childlike voice like two bells: "I am right." The guest looked down at the voice and saw that it was a child, so he couldn't help laughing contemptuously.

However, Wang Yucheng leisurely wrote the bottom allied:

Spiders are not as clever as silkworms.

Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion in the four buildings, and there was a constant voice of admiration.

(24) shadows and figures

Kou Zhun was a famous prime minister in the Northern Song Dynasty, with integrity and loyalty. History records his achievements as well as his lovers' stories.

It is said that one day, he was chatting with several people on the pavilion. This pavilion is near the swimming pool. It was almost noon when the sun reflected on the water. Kou Zhun wrote the first part and told them to come at once:

A day underwater is a day in the sky.

The meaning is simple and clear, but everyone can't agree with anyone at the moment. Asked Kou Zhun, Kou Zhun just laughed. At the right moment, Yang Danian has something to report to Lord Kou and found it here. Yang Danian is an expert on pairing. He came, as if to solve the problem for everyone. Everyone asked him to pair up first.

Kou Zhun told him this sentence. On second thought, the Prime Minister was talking about the shadow of the sun. What's the shadow? Yes, numbers. He looked into the eyes of coach's adult, and suddenly found that there was his own figure inside, and confronted him immediately:

The person in the eyes is the person in front of me.

Kou Zhun praised him: "What a good year! Really talented! "

(25) "Portrait"

Yan Shu was a great poet in the Northern Song Dynasty. When he became a high official, he had two penholders, Zhang Kang and Wang Qi. Neither of them looks very good. Zhang Kang is a big fat man. He is fat from head to toe, so Wang Qi always calls him "Fat Bull". Zhang Kang, in turn, called Wang Qi a "skinny monkey". Compared with Zhang Kang, most people can lose two laps, not to mention that Wang Qi is really a skeleton. Two people have a good relationship, but they make fun of each other regardless of the occasion. Once, Yan Shu treated me. Everyone is in a good mood, britain-based authority put down chopsticks, index finger to both sides, smiled and said:

Zhang Kang drew a figure of eight on the wall.

The cow's head hit the wall, and its horns were Zhang Kaicheng-shaped on both sides. Wang Qi said that Zhang Kang was a "fat cow" and was divided into "eights" when he hit the wall. Everyone laughed "coax" when they heard it. Zhang Kang also not weakness, immediately thought of "apes cry three tears touch petticoats" poem, retorted:

Wang Qi cried three times during the full moon.

Everyone is also a burst of laughter. Looking at the "fat cow", thinking about the sentence "into a figure of eight", looking at the "skinny monkey" and thinking about the sentence "call three times", the more you ponder, the more ridiculous you feel.

(26) Yu Yue's Cold Spring.

In the Qing Dynasty, there was a couplet on the West Lake Cold Spring Pavilion:

Since when does spring get cold?

Where does the peak come from?

In September, Yu Yue, a famous scholar in Qing Dynasty, traveled to Feilaifeng with his wife and sat beside the Cold Spring Pavilion, enjoying this couplet. The wife looked at it for a while and asked Yu Yue to give an explanation. Yu Yue changed the original couplet and replied:
