"Couplet Knowledge" Practical Couplets

Practical couplets Couplets that can be classified into the category of practical couplets should have two major characteristics: first, the hanging time is short, and the timeliness is fast and short-lived; second, the requirements for the carrier can be low or high, but generally not high.

Practical couplets are all used in interpersonal relationships. The three main categories that are still commonly used in society are happy couplets, birthday couplets and elegiac couplets.

The first section is "Happy Lian", which refers specifically to the couplets used to congratulate newlyweds.

As the name suggests, the wedding couplet must be joyful and must be written in a joyful way.

When holding weddings before liberation, whether old or new or a combination of old and new, it is fashionable to send wedding couplets.

If you are borrowing a place outside, such as a restaurant, you have to hang a wedding couplet to enhance your momentum.

After liberation, new things were done, and most of them were given away daily necessities for household use.

However, there were many similar gifts, and some received twenty or thirty thermos bottles, which was difficult to deal with.

Nowadays, people's living standards have greatly improved, and people are pursuing cultural taste. It is popular to give away calligraphy, paintings, books, stationery and other items.

In fact, hanging a few wedding couplets in a new house can add to the festive atmosphere. It is recommended that comrades with hobbies and abilities in this area try it.

After hundreds of years of creation, Xilian's practice has gradually formed a certain train of thought.

Model couplets are recorded in various popular couplet books to support the regular style.

Roughly speaking, it can be divided into the following categories: 1. The year, month, day and season, especially the month and season.

This is because the cutting year is too broad and the cutting day is too narrow. Only the cutting month and season are relatively moderate.

However, it should be noted that most of the couplets recorded in the couplet book refer to the months and days of the lunar calendar. When picking and adapting the couplets, old tunes should be transformed into new words.

Furthermore, when it is relevant to the season, it is best to bring some imagery.

Here is an old couplet to congratulate autumn weddings for reference when adapting: wine-ripened yellow flowers unite; ●●○○●●poem title red leaves concentric.

○○○●○○2. Write down the surnames of both newlyweds, preferably their given names.

Let me first talk about two points related to surname couplets and name couplets: one is to insert the surname into the couplet (that is, to point it out secretly) or embed it into the couplet. This is not limited to wedding couplets, but is often used in door couplets and hall couplets to implicitly express

This method expresses the surname and county title of the resident to the visitors.

It is said that some small villages and towns in southern my country still retain this ancient tradition. The couplets written on the doors of households in all villages and towns all contain allusions to the family's surname, so that people with a discerning eye can recognize it at a glance. This can also be regarded as a local characteristic.

Couplets of surnames and various couplets are often compiled in special chapters.

There are also special books, as the author has seen, including "History of Chinese Surname Couplets" compiled by Gu Xiangyang and He Huiqin, in which there are quite a few for picking, and with slight changes, you can compile happy couplets.

After liberation, because there were fewer and fewer couplets on doors (especially in cities), hall couplets (especially those in the living room or study room of individual households) and happy couplets have almost become representative couplets of the Qie surname.

Let’s take an old couplet as an example: Cultivate the plum blossoms and get married; ○●○○○●●It turns out that Songxue is a god.

●○○●●○○This connection is related to the woman’s surname “Lin” and is based on the story of Lin Bu’s “wife Mei Zihe” from the Song Dynasty.

The man's surname was "Zhao", and he was named "Songxue Taoist" by Zhao Zi'ang.

The four suffixes form "the descendants of the gods".

Another point is that embedding the names of both men and women can generally only be done in the wedding couplet.

In all literary styles such as ancient Chinese poems, lyrics, and even couplets and poems, there is an unwritten rule where the names of people are used as parallels, that is: it is strictly forbidden to use the names of a man and a woman to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

.

Some people today advocate breaking this boundary. The author is a conservative and thinks that writing an article is like sailing in a wide ocean. Why have to hit the reef!

But when a man and a woman are spouses, they must be in pairs!

Using people's names as antitheses, starting from ancient parallel prose and modern poetry, has relatively wide requirements for antitheses.

As long as Ping and Ling can be harmonized, especially if the final word Ping and Ling can be harmonized, there are generally no requirements on word meaning.

The late flowers become the bright colors of autumn; (Albino text note: "late flowers" dark spots continue in middle age) ●○●●○○●Xinyan returns to Huanmei's home.

IKEA.

●○●●○　○●○○We say that Mr. Wu is a "sage hand", which means that writing such couplets is easy to be frivolous or delicate, but Mr. Wu's couplets appear elegant and generous, with the magnanimity of an elder.

This is the unity of talent and knowledge, and it is about literacy, which is beyond the reach of ordinary joint families.

3. Start with certain characteristics, characteristics, relationships, etc. of the bride and groom.

You can also cut into some relationship between yourself and these two parties.

This is relatively broad.

Be careful to word it appropriately.

Still taking the old couplets as an example: Luhua emphasizes the poet's pen; ●○○●○○●Hongzhu is the first to study the bachelor's book.

○●○○●●○ "The embroidered pavilion group looks at the moon together; ●●○○○●●Xiang Runjing plays the piano together.
