Knowledge of Couplets

Du Fu's poem is not only a stanza, but also two pairs of couplets, learn it.

1, short couplets: generally refers to the upper and lower couplets of four to nine words on one side.

2, in the coupling: generally refers to the number of words on one side of the upper and lower coupling between nine and twenty couplings.

3, long couplets: generally refers to the upper and lower couplets on each side of the number of words up to twenty words or more couplets.

4, the foot of the sentence: the last word of each sub-sentence is called the foot of the sentence, in a single sentence, the foot of the sentence is the foot of the joint.

5, the foot: the last word of the whole joint is called the foot.

6, the number of words is equal: the number of words in the first line is equal to the number of words in the second line, and the number of words in the second and third lines in the long line are equal.

7, lexical equivalent: the words or phrases in the same position in the upper and lower couplet should have the same or similar lexical properties.

8, the structure is appropriate: refers to the grammatical structure of the sentence (or its phrase and sentence structure) should be the same as possible, that is, the subject-predicate structure of the subject-predicate structure, the verb-object structure of the verb-object structure, and so on.

9, the rhythm of the corresponding: refers to the couplet statements in the pause must be consistent. For example: wind and ￤ day.

10, content-related: a couplet between the top and bottom of the couplet, the content (the idea) should be related, if the top and bottom of the couplet write an unrelated thing, the two can not reflect, through, echo, can not be considered a qualified couplet, and even can not be counted as a couplet, can not be *** with the same expression of a complete theme.

11, the work of the pair: also known as the strict pair, is strict, neat counterparts. Work pair of the requirements of the seven elements: equal number of words, words equivalent, corresponding structure, the same rhythm, level and oblique harmony, meaning related to the text is different. In a pair of couplets, as long as more than one number of neat (most of the concept is 75%, that is, at least five of the seven words are work, is the work of the pair; seven words are all work, called the whole work of the pair), is the work of the pair. Work pair is the highest state of couplets, it can produce a neat and harmonious beauty.

12, wide pair: is relative to the work of the pair, is to relax the requirements of the battle, the basic law, sentence structure is basically the same, the level and oblique roughly relative to the word can be roughly equivalent, but the content is still relevant. Wide pairs, often only need to real words to real words, false words to false words can be. The main reason for this is that it is not easy to find the right words for the right purpose, but it is a good idea to use the right words for the right purpose.

13, since the pair: is when the sentence on, also known as "side of the pair", that is, in a sentence of their own couples. Such as: sweet rain into the snow; Hundred Ridge to see a thousand beautiful.

14, borrowing: that is, in the use of a word at the same time, but also borrowed the meaning of its B and another word relative. Such as: red and white, drunk how to distinguish between north and south; green and yellow, poor to sell everything. In the next couplet, the word "stuff" is used to indicate the meaning of "object", and at the same time, it is used to indicate the meaning of orientation to the "north-south" relative to the previous couplet.

15, out of alignment: out of place in the category, which also belongs to the category of the sentence; the whole or part of the upper and lower couplet does not meet the right.

The first sentence I used the oblique for the end,

and the next he ended with the flat.

The taboo of the couplet is not to be desired.

The first three and the fifth can be ignored,

and the second four and the sixth can be distinguished.

I can use all the characters in the world.

I'll tell you what I mean when I say it's flat,

and I'll tell you what I mean when I say it's flat.

It takes a lot of effort to find out the level and the narrowness,

and it is very catchy.

Briefly summarize the key points of the couplet

①The number of words is equal, and the words are equivalent.

①The number of words is equal, and the words are equivalent.

③The last word of the first line is oblique, and the second line is flat, the term is called oblique start and finish.

④ The meanings of the upper and lower lines should be related or have a progressive effect

⑤ It is not recommended to close the palm of your hand, or to close with three flat lines or three oblique lines.

⑥ Except for special couplets

⑦ Rhythmic harmony, i.e., the pause between the upper and lower couplets should be the same.
