Fujian couplets in China traditional culture

Hello, everyone, I am a real swimming cat. Couplets, commonly known as couplets, are one of the treasures of traditional culture and are deeply loved by ordinary people. Pay attention to Bian Xiao and appreciate the absolutely eternal 10 couplets. For thousands of years, people have been amazed and praised. If you like couplets, write them down carefully.

1 couplet: If the sky is affectionate, it will be old; The moon is as round as regret.

In fact, this couplet is a poem in the Tang Dynasty poet Li He's "Jin Tong Xian Fu Han Fu": "Lan Ruo will be old when he is old."

It is said that Li He once repeatedly chanted "If the sky is sentient and old" and wanted to find a antithesis for this sentence, but he couldn't find a perfect antithesis.

Later, someone came up with this bottom line, and the confrontation was neat and even, absolutely eternal.

The second couplet: drizzle is as dense as silk, how can it be woven? Tomorrow is as red as brocade, and there is nothing to cut.

The ingenuity of this couplet lies in its unique metaphor. The first part compares rain to silk weaving, and the second part compares Xia Hong to brocade, both of which are weather conditions. They are good opponents of the first part, and they are right.

The third link: Qili Shantang, to the half soup for three and a half miles; Jiuxi Mandong passes through the Middle East and Wuxi Middle.

This pair of couplets is both a geographical pair and a numerical pair. Half of 7 Li is 3.5 Li, and half of 9 Li is 4.5 Li, so it is already in the middle of the fifth stream after half of the middle hole. This couplet is unique, unique and amazing.

The fourth: parrots can argue like a phoenix; Spiders are not as clever as silkworms.

There is another story in this couplet. Wang Yucheng, a great poet in Song Dynasty, was very clever and good at pairing when he was a child. At the age of seven, the then prefect made the first couplet at the banquet, and everyone made the second couplet back and forth irregularly. Wang Yucheng made the bottom line that spiders are not as clever as silkworms.

The most ingenious place of this couplet is not only the neatness of the antithesis, but also the expression of a value judgment, a belief in Wang Yucheng's heart, and a belief in benefiting the country and the people like silkworms, which has amazed and admired everyone for thousands of years.

The fifth couplet: the branches of Anhui oriole call back the dreams of the afternoon; The purple swallow on the beam whispers; Talk about the troubles of spring.

This couplet evokes the afternoon dream with the sound of birds, and expresses the spring sorrow in Yan language. It can be described as a unique imagination. There is a kind of "poet's eye" that discovers the beauty of life, which makes people sing spontaneously and is very amazing.

The sixth link: the wind does not sound like grass; Rain beats the silent drums and flowers.

This couplet is a flower couplet, but it cleverly makes a big fuss about the names of flowers and plants. The bell grass doesn't ring, and the drum flowers don't ring. It can be said that it can be used, and the skill of the upper and lower parts is equal.

The seventh couplet: February warbler flowers, moving eyes and ears; In the autumn of September, the shadow fragrance bothers my body and mind.

It is said that the first couplet of this couplet was written by Wang Chong in Ming Dynasty, and the second couplet was the antithesis of Wen Zhiming, a great painter in Ming Dynasty. The upper part is color and the lower part is fragrance, which is very clever. At the same time, this is not just a scene couplet, because both the upper and lower couplets point out the existence of people, which can be described as affection in things.

The eighth couplet: the grass is acacia, and the eyebrows are thin; When a flower name smiles, pomegranate teeth show.

This pair of couplets is also ingenious, making a big fuss about the names of acacia grass and smiling flowers. If you like pomegranate, you should be familiar with the next sentence "toothless".

The ninth couplet: a candle is exhausted, burning the heart; The three major literary achievements shocked the examiner.

This pair of couplets is a wonderful work in the examination room. According to legend, during the Yongle period, the imperial examinations were timed by candles. In the final trial session, Emperor Yongle left Lin Huan, and Lin Huan was so opposed to the second half, which not only made the examiner sit up and take notice, but also made the emperor very happy. So Lin Huan won the championship without any suspense.

10 couplets: Before the lights are lit in winter night, Xiahou reads the Spring and Autumn Biography; On the east gate, Nanjing people sing the North West Chamber.

This couplet, linked together in spring, summer, autumn and winter, linked together in east, west, north and south, can be described as a swan song throughout the ages. Everyone knows the story of the Spring and Autumn Period, but some people may be confused about The North West Chamber. In fact, the story of the West Chamber, a famous ancient opera, was called "The Story of the North West Chamber" in ancient times. This couplet has been full of praise for thousands of years.
