What is the Jap's couplet?

Riding a strange horse, opening a long bow, qin and lute, the eight kings, side by side on the head, a single battle! The Japanese commissioners, wearing dragon clothes, demons and monsters, the four little ghosts, kneeling beside the body, hand in hand to capture! Four hundred years ago that is, since the Ming and Qing dynasties, Japanese pirates often burned, killed, looted and disturbed the coastal areas of our country. At that time, people called the Japanese pirates as "Japanese pirates", that is because they look short and ugly, behavior is really more than bandits have brown and no better, so give this name. But in modern times, people call the Japanese invaders "ghosts", why? That is to say, Sino-Japanese naval battle on the eve of the Sino-Japanese naval battle, the Qing court appointed a minister to Japan. At that time, Japan not only want to show off the force in front of the world, but also want to dishonor China in the cultural up and down. When the reporters gathered together, the Japanese side suddenly raised a problem that is not related to the wind and horses: "We have a Japanese couplet but not the next couplet, so we have to ask for the people in the birthplace of Chinese characters." After saying that, the Japanese showed the couplet: Ride a strange horse, open a long bow, the qin and the pipa, the eight kings, side by side on the head, a single battle! This is a split-word couplet, which is difficult. Moreover, his belligerent aggression is very arrogant and cocky. Meaning, Japan's strong soldiers, driving is a strange horse, open is a strong bow, the text is not simple, whether it is qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and song, light "king" there are eight, unrivaled in the world, the implication is that Japan's "single-go-alone war" can be stepped on the level of China. Qing court ambassadors also do not show weakness. Immediately waved a pen and wrote the following couplet: 倭委人, attack dragon clothes, demons and ghosts, four little ghosts, kneeling beside the body, hand in hand to capture! This next line is also used to break up the word association, very neatly, and with the first line of the tit-for-tat, which means, you Japanese riding a strange horse with a long bow, in fact, is a group of Japanese pirates came to steal the Dragon Coat of the Qing Dynasty, qin sepi pipa eight kings, that is, the spirits and monsters, four little ghosts, side by side with the head, in fact, has been kneeling beside the body, if you dare to fight alone, I'll be captured with a joint hand. Since then, we will call Japan "ghosts". During the war, the Japanese invaders committed heinous crimes against the Chinese people, but also provoked the anger and hatred of the people of the country, the "Japs", "little Japs", "ghosts", "Japs", "little Japs", "ghosts", "little devils" and other epithets spread throughout the Chinese land. To this day, the mouth still scolded the Japanese devils in China's heinous crimes!
