Firecrackers go out with a bang;

Fu Tao Wan Hu updated.

This is a pair of traditional Spring Festival couplets. This couplet was written in Wang Anshi's poem "January Day": "Firecrackers are one year old, and the spring breeze sends warmth into Tu Su. Thousands of households always exchange new peaches for old ones. " Firecrackers and peach charms are props used by ancient people to exorcise evil spirits during the Spring Festival. Nowadays, firecrackers will be set off during the Spring Festival. In the past, when gunpowder was not invented, there were no firecrackers. In order to drive away the plague in Shan Gui, people burned bamboo to make it peel off and make a sound. This practice is called "firecrackers". Fu Tao is also an ancient folk custom. It was painted on a mahogany board and hung by the door to ward off evil spirits. It should be replaced every Spring Festival. From the Tang and Five Dynasties, auspicious and blessing words (Spring Festival couplets) were written on red paper, but the Spring Festival couplets were called "Fu Tao" and lasted until the Qing Dynasty. Writing Spring Festival couplets to welcome the Spring Festival has become the custom of almost all people in China, with a long history, but with the changes of the times, the content is often updated. The couplets selected two typical items in traditional folk customs during the Spring Festival, namely, the symbols, phrases and sentences of firecrackers and peaches, the sound (the sound of firecrackers) and the color (the red symbol of peaches), which are vivid and vividly described, and accurately express the theme of "saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new". The language of couplets is concise, full of sound and color, and the antithesis is neat. It has always been loved by people and spread widely.

One yuan, two gases and three Yang Tai;

Fourth-order Liuhe Spring in Five Blessingg.

This is the traditional Spring Festival couplets, with figures and allusions. The "one yuan" in the first part refers to the beginning of things, here refers to the beginning of a year. "Erqi" refers to Yin Qi and Yang Qi. "Three Yang Tai" is three Yang Kaitai. In the Book of Changes, October of the lunar calendar is the Kun Gua, the image of pure yin; The winter in November is a complicated divination, and the sun is born in the next; December is divination, and Er Yang is born next; The first month is the Thai hexagram, and the next month is the birth of Sanyang. When winter goes and spring comes, yin fades and yang grows, just like good luck. Therefore, in the past, "Three Yang Kaitai's" or "Three Yang Jiaotai's" were words of praise at the beginning of the year. The bottom line "four orders" refers to spring, summer, autumn and winter. Five Blessingg, five kinds of happiness. "Shang Shu Hong Fan": "Five Blessingg, on the one hand, said longevity, on the other hand, said wealth, on the other hand, said corning, on the other hand, said virtue, and on the fifth day, he finally hit the exam." Huan Tan's new theory: "Five Blessingg: long life, wealth, nobility, happiness and many children." "Liuhe" refers to up, down, front, back, left and right, and refers to the world between heaven and earth and the whole world. The clever use of numbers and allusions in conjunctions not only conforms to festivals, but also expresses good wishes to all people in the world.

Meicheng Five Blessingg;

The bamboo newspaper is more than three.

-Five Blessingg, that is, longevity, wealth, corning, virtue and old age. See Shang Shu Hong Fan. More than three means more happiness, longer life and more men. See Zhuangzi Heaven and Earth. Writing about winter together is intended to welcome the spring and pray for blessings. Spring Festival couplets are widely used because they can not only quote allusions, but also use concise words and handle affairs steadily.

Spring is the beginning of a year;

Mei is the best.

-The ancients said: "A year's plan lies in spring", which means that spring is the beginning of a year. Whether it is a year's planning or a year's harvest, we must make a good start in spring. Plum blossoms, as flowers that are not afraid of the cold and meet the snow in winter, are often praised as "faithful", "tenacious" and "fearless of difficulties and obstacles". Although the Spring Festival has started in spring, the weather is still very cold. Only plum blossoms are still in full bloom this season. Then, as the weather gets warmer, other flowers will gradually open. From these two points of view, plum blossom should be called "a hundred flowers blossom" both in the opening season and in spirit. Look at this connection, the words are close and profound. I advise you, if you plan for one year at the beginning of the year and have the tenacious spirit of plum blossom, what can you do? What's the problem? No wonder this couplet can become a universal and enduring Spring Festival couplets.

Taiping is really rich;

Spring scenery big article.

The first couplet of this Spring Festival couplets wishes social stability, and the second couplet praises the beauty of spring. This is ordinary content, but it shows extraordinary skill. Taiping and Fugui, Spring Scenery and Articles could not be passed down smoothly, but now the author not only links them, but also writes them powerfully. To say that "peace" is "real" wealth implies that fame and fortune are "illusory" wealth in the usual sense, which is similar to Confucius' "wealth and injustice are as expensive as clouds to me", and its concern is not personal enjoyment, but the stability of the world; It is said that "Spring Scenery" is a "big" article, but the implication is that works made by searching chapters and sentences can only be counted as "small" articles. Five-character couplets can also be said to have their own origins. Li Bai's Preface to My Brother's Spring Banquet in Peach Blossom Garden has the following words: "Kuangchunchun called me to smoke scenery, and I made a big fake article." "Stripe" originally refers to mixed colors or patterns, and here refers to all kinds of beautiful images, colors and sounds in nature. Li Bai's sentence means "warm spring attracts us with beautiful scenery, and nature provides us with splendid scenery", which is not close to the meaning of the bottom line.

Spring breeze willow and golden horse;

Snow and plum blossoms shine on the jade hall.

-This pair of Spring Festival couplets is literally full of festive and peaceful atmosphere. "Spring Breeze and Willow Trees" depict the beginning of the New Year, while "Clear Snow and Plum Blossoms" imitate the image that the remaining winter will be exhausted. "Jade Hall Golden Horse", the classic "Hanshu? The biography of Yang Xiong refers to the Golden Horse Gate and Jade Hall in the palace of the Han Dynasty. These two places are places for bachelor's degrees. Later, it was used as the name of the Imperial Academy. This couplet expresses the satisfaction of famous scholars with the spring breeze by describing the spring scenery of the Han Palace. In addition, it can also be understood as the literati's yearning for a better future in the past. Because couplets are bright and gorgeous, they have become practical Spring Festival couplets used by the ancients.

Phoenix lasts forever, and the world becomes old;

When the rooster crows, it is spring all over the world.

-Phoenix calendar, also known as imperial calendar and yellow calendar. Classic Zuo Zhuan? Zhao Gong seventeen years: "My great-great grandfather, Zhong, was a good bird, so he was trained by birds, named the bird after the bird, and the phoenix bird was at home. "Later, because of the use of the Phoenix Calendar, it was called the calendar. This means that the calendar is correct. The first day of the Spring Festival was designated as "January Day" by the almanac promulgated by the imperial court, so the world changed into a new year. The second part describes in more detail the early morning in January, when the rooster crows and wakes up the rising sun, so it is spring all over the world. This pair of traditional Spring Festival couplets is cleverly embedded with "New Year's Day" (in ancient China, the first day of the first lunar month was called New Year's Day) to celebrate the arrival of the New Year, which indicates the prosperity of the country and the happiness of the people.
