Cao Yunjin Yuqian, the pair of Spring Festival couplets lines

It's a pair of Spring Festival couplets, but not theirs it seems

A It's not easy to be a comedian, first of all, it says you have to be cultured.

B That's right! You see, we are learning every day!

A Have you ever studied?

B I studied for two days.

A What school did you graduate from?

B Why? I read the same scriptures as in the past.

A "The Five Classics," "The Four Books," and "The Thirteen Classics".

B Yes!

A I've read those books too, what "Three Character Text", "Hundred Schools of Thought", "Thousand Family Names".... ... not ...... three-eyed well child (Beijing place name).

B also three miles of river which!

A Right! The three lihe'er (Beijing place name).

B What? "Three Hundred Writings" "Hundred Thousand Surnames" ...... I also messed up! The Three Character Classic, the Hundred Surnames, and the Thousand Character Classic.

A Right! What do you say after reading these books?

B Read the "University".

A After the snow, read the snow, the winter solstice, the cold, the cold, the spring, the rain ......

B I told you to memorize the almanac here!

A Didn't you say you'd recite the Great Snow?

B I said to recite The Great Learning.

A Right ...... right. "The way of the university is to be clear and moral," he said! After reading "University" read what?

B The Meanwhile.

A After reading the usefulness of reading not useful, when you read to the waste snacks even if the graduation.

B Then I will be useless. I say read "The Mean".

A After reading "The Mean", I read "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius", "The Book of Rites" and "The Spring and Autumn Annals".

B That's right.

A You can't just read these books, you have to be able to speak them, and if you can't speak them, you can't write. For example, if you want to recite a poem or make a spring couplet, you have to search for the chapter and sentence from the book.

B That's true.

A You see, I like to make spring couplets when I have nothing else to do, and I have recently collected a few at home.

B The most important thing to remember is that you have a lot of people in your life who you can trust.

A That is to say, there is a top line without a bottom line, no one can get it right. I have traveled to many places and visited many great writers, but the result is that no one can get it right, and this is too good to be true.

B What are you doing in the newspaper?

A seeks the next couplet.

B What kind of words and phrases are you using?

A What? You're going to do it!

B I'm not going to do it, I want to hear it.

A What's the use of listening to it, Your Excellency, when even the great writers haven't got it right?

B You can't say that, it's only good if you get it right by chance!

A Well, I'll tell you a little bit, you can't be right!

B Of course.

A If you don't understand, ask me.

B Of course I'll ask you.

A The first one is "Prosperity in business goes to all corners of the world."

B That's it!

A Ah.

B What am I supposed to do? (With deliberate false modesty) Can I match it for you?

A I'm having trouble finding the next line here.

But I don't know if I can do it right.

A It's okay, you can do it!

B What's your first line?

A "The trade is prosperous all over the world."

B I'll give you "The wealth of the three rivers."

A Oops, you're a genius.

B It's not my talent either, we used to put up a couplet like this for the coal store.

A Well, listen to the second one, "The roots are deep and the leaves are flourishing."

B "The roots are strong and the branches are prosperous."

A Uh-huh. "The market is open for business."

B "All is well."

A Listen to this last one.

B You say.

A "Loyalty is passed on to the family for a long time."

B "Poetry and books are passed down through the generations."

A (hopelessly) I'm finished.

B This is it, what is it called? It's full of pairs of books.

A It's a joke, I really like spring couplets.

B Do you know the rules of Spring Festival couplets?

A Well, I do. The rules of Spring Festival couplets are "one, three, five, two, four, six, two, three, five, two, four, six, two, four, six, two, four, six. The sky and the earth, the rain and the wind, the continent and the sky, the thunder and the fog, the opening of the market and the prosperity of all things. Mountain flowers against sea trees, the red sun against the dome of the sky, the flat and the narrow flat, the narrow flat and the narrow flat." Su Dongpo has a saying, "There are no words in the world without a pair."

B When what to speak.

A Any sentence can be used as a couplet, as long as it is properly and skillfully matched, then there is nothing better.

B Yes, yes!

A For example, there are these two sayings that are a couplet.

B Which ones?

A "It is difficult for a clear official to judge a family matter." This is the first line.

B And the next line?

A "The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked." Ai! Although these two lines are not neat enough (shakes head), they are very funny. （

B How about we two make up a sentence?

A Sure.

B I'll give you a couplet.

A I'll give you the bottom line.

B Let's say I say "up".

A I'm going to say "down", and if there is up, there is down!

B I say "sky".

A I say "earth". "Sky to earth, rain to wind, continent to sky, thunder hidden, foggy, open the market with great luck, everything is prosperous."

B "Words".

A I'm interested in "vinegar". (A mistook "speech" for "salt."

B Vinegar?

A Ah! Oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar are the five flavors; yours is salty, mine is sour.

B "Good."

A I'm clear about "bad", good and bad.

B "thing".

A I'm interested in "gun". （

A I'm going with "gun". (A mistook the word "matter" for "skill".)

B "gun"! Is that a good match?

A. You support the earth, I'll dial the cannon, you jump on the horse, I'll get out of the car.

B We're playing chess here!

A What's in a joint sentence!

B These five words together are the first line of a pair: "The heavens speak good things."

A Then I'll give you the couplet: "Good fortune comes from the palace."

B Wait, that's not what you just said. I said "on".

A I said "down".

B I said "heaven".

A I'm on "earth".

B I say "words".

A I say "vinegar".

B I say "good".

A I'm for "bad".

B I say "thing".

A I say "gun".

B I'm, "Heaven says good things."

A I'm: "Vinegar on the ground is bad."

B What are you talking about?

A Who told you not to say it together? You want to say "good news from heaven", of course, I'll give you the right "good luck from the palace". I'm not going to give you the "down to the ground, vinegar, and bad luck" if you're going to say one word at a time," he said.

B This is my fault.

A Of course.

B Well, listen to these two words: "pen holder."

A The pen holder on the desk.

B Right.

A I'll give you the right word: "Arrow pouch."

B The one that holds the sword.

A No. That's a sword case! That's the sword case, I'm talking about the leather pouch where you draw your bow and shoot your arrows.

B I'm talking about the brush holder.

A I'm talking about the arrow pouch, which is for the two of us, the two of us who are good at writing.

B I don't think so. Listen to this: "Mutton."

A I'll give you a pair of "radish (luo bo)"

B Is that a good match?

A lamb blanch radish casserole dry rice ......

B this did not eat what which! "Satin."

A "Radish."

B Luo ...... us this is satin you also to radish?

A Ah! Satin wrapped radish.

B I have not heard, I that is wearing silk and satin.

A yes! I'm talking about wearing, too, the ro of damask and satin, the cloth of tweed. "Robe."

B Oh! Robe can't be heard as a turnip, and then listen to this, "Bells and drums."

A "Radish."

B I say it's the bells and drums.

A I'm hitting the gongs and cymbals, "Gongs and cymbals."

B All right, all right! Listen to this again.

A (in passing) Radish.

B I haven't said it yet?

A I'll put it on hold.

B Acute. "Horsetooth dates."

A "Big carrot."

B I'm a three-letter word.

A I have three words. "Big carrot."

B I want four words. You've got "big radish", I've got five words, you've got "big radish", so you're selling me the whole basket of radishes? I can't. I'm sorry.

A What did you say?

B "Horse teeth dates."

A I'll give you the right answer: "Goat's horn onions."

B I've got "horse's teeth" here.

A I've got "ram's horn" here.

B "Dates."

A "Onion".

B I can add words.

A I can add words.

B "Horses eat horse-tooth dates."

A "Sheep nibble goat's horn onions."

B I eat here.

A I nibble here.

B "I'll eat it here."

A I'll eat it here! My horse's tooth dates are in August.

A I'm here to eat it, and I'm here to eat it. The question of spring and fall in February and August is, "If you don't win, you won't be far away!"

B You don't have to be a sourpuss.

A How is it?

B Fine! Listen to this: "The goat goes up the hill." Two head of the mountain.

A I'll give you the right one: "The buffalo goes to the water." Two heads in the water.

B I can add words.

A I can add words.

B "The goat goes up the hill and the hill touches the goat's horns."

A "The goat touches the foot?

B No, no! The horns.

A "The water buffalo went down to the water, and the water didn't touch the buffalo's waist." No waist.

B I can add words.

A "The goat goes up the mountain and touches the goat's horns, (learns to bleat like a goat) Baa-ya!"

B What's going on here?

B It hurts.

A "The buffalo went down to the water and the water didn't reach the buffalo's waist, (mooing like a cow)."

B (like a sheep) Baa! Baa!

A (Barking like a cow) Moo! Moo!

B We're at the slaughterhouse.

A Who told you to moo?

B "Three pagodas in front of the Three Pagodas Temple, pagoda, pagoda, pagoda."

A "Five tiers of platforms behind Wutai Mountain, platform, platform, platform." (Learning to play the sound of a small gong)

B He started the play again. "Da Da Ma rides a big horse in a big way."

A "Old grandma, old husband and wife drive old sheep."

B "Old grandma drinks cheese, cheese falls (lao) old grandma fishes for cheese."

A "Uncle racks the turtledove, the turtledove flies uncle seizes the turtledove."

B "Mother rides the horse, the horse is slow mother scolds the horse."

A "Nyonya blasts the cow, the cow screw(ning) the nyonya screw(ning) the cow."

B Ah! Here comes the tongue twister.

A I'll match you with whatever you say.

B I said "nan".

A I say "north".

B I say "East".

A I say "west".

B I say "up".

A I say "down".

B Listen to this: "The geese fly south with two wings, east and west, up and down."

A How come you've got it all?

B This is called stretching and practicing.

A Good! Listen to the next couplet: "The front car and the back rut, the two wheels, left and right go high and low."

B Can you match it?

A Of course.

B "The northern geese fly south."

A "The car in front and the car in the back."

B "Two wings east and west."

A "Two wheels about."

B "Split up and down."

A "Go high and low." High and low is up and down, and up and down is high and low, "though not in the center is not far away."

B Hey! I'm sorry, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this.

A It's called being angry with you.

B We don't know who's angry with whom, but listen to this: "A reed on the wall has a heavy head and shallow roots."

A I'll give you the right answer: "The head is heavy, the feet are light, and the roots are shallow! I'll give you the right answer: "Bamboo shoots in the forest, with sharp mouths and thick skins and empty bellies."

B Good! Listen to this one again: "Empty trees hide holes, holes into empty trees and empty holes, holes out of empty trees and empty trees."

A What's all this nonsense?

B This is an allusion to Confucius, and a pair of couplets.

A There's another allusion!

B When Confucius traveled around the world, one day he went to a certain place, and suddenly it rained heavily, and there was no village, no store, no place to hide, and it so happened that there was a tree next to the road, which was empty, and Confucius thought that he could hide here, which was called the empty tree to hide the hole.

A hole into the empty tree?

B Confucius entered the empty tree.

A Hole in the empty tree?

B There is a hole in the empty tree.

A Hole in the empty tree?

B When the rain clears, the hole comes out of the empty tree, the hole comes out of the empty tree.

A The empty tree is empty?

B Inside the empty tree, there is no hole. This is called: "The empty tree hides the hole, the hole enters the empty tree, the empty tree is full of holes, the hole comes out of the empty tree, the empty tree is full of holes." (making a gasping face) I almost didn't fire the gun.

A Listen to me: "Zuo (rou), ba da, dang, clatter, flutter, pounce, ouch, ouch, whoosh, whoosh, squeak, squeak."

B I said what are you doing?

A What is that?

B I'm a list of allusions.

A I'm talking about me.

B Allusions can be used for facts, but how many words do you have?

A How many words do you have?

B I'm talking about eighteen words.

A Let's count them.

B "The empty tree hides the hole, the hole enters the empty tree, the hole enters the empty tree, the hole enters the empty tree, the hole enters the empty tree." Eighteen words. What about you?

A I also have eighteen.

B I hear more than thirty.

A If you don't believe me, you can count them: "Zo, ba da, dang, wow, flutter, pitter-patter, ouch, whoosh, whoosh, squeak, squeak".

B It's also eighteen words, but when what?

A That year Beijing war, I was lying in bed where, just listen to the soft ...... fly over a gun.
