Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, likes to write couplets, but every time he just posted them, others stole them. On New Year's Eve, he came up with a clever way to prevent "thieves": he posted this couplet on the door:
Felicity never paired off.
When it rains, it pours/Misfortunes never come singly
The thief walked up to Wang Zhai and shook his head. In the early morning of the first day, Wang Xizhi continued three words at the end of the couplet, which became a masterpiece with full salary:
Happiness has not doubled until now.
It never rains but it pours.
This legendary "skill" is obviously not credible-because the first Spring Festival couplets did not appear until the Five Dynasties. But the story is very interesting, and the couplets are also very artistic and worth appreciating.

Lv Mengzheng, a Song Dynasty man, was indignant at the serious inequality between the rich and the poor at that time. One Spring Festival, a poor man asked him to write a pair of Spring Festival couplets. Lu wrote:
Two three four five
Six seven eight nine
Banner: North and South
After the Spring Festival couplets were posted, countless people gathered around. Everyone began to feel "strange" and then called it "wonderful". The beauty of this pair of Spring Festival couplets lies in its external meaning: the first couplet is short of one, and the second couplet is short of ten, which is the homonym of "lack of clothes and food": the horizontal comment of "North and South" means "nothing". The author uses a unique rhetorical device to describe the plight of the poor.

Yan Shu, a poet of the Song Dynasty, took a nap in daming temple when he passed Yangzhou. He came across a poem written on the wall.

Gong's father is good at speaking, and Wang Anshi made a sentence to give it a try:
Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties
Liu told yue:
Ode to elegance in four poems
Wang Anshi applauded: "This place is made in heaven!" The beauty of antithesis is that it sums up "ode to elegance" with "four-character poem": because "elegance" in The Book of Songs can be divided into "elegance" and "elegance", when combined with "wind" and "ode", it just becomes "four-character poem".

One night, Su Dongpo said to Su Xiaomei, "I'm going out for the first part. Please spend the night in the second part." Sui yue:
Narcissus holds the Hosta, and the sound is slow before the wind.
Su Xiaomei struggled for a long time, unable to answer. Because "Water Fairy", "Hosta" and "Slow Voice" are all epigrams, it is really difficult to draw a scene at the same time. When I was looking for my stomach, I suddenly saw the maid delivering food and wine in the moonlight. Su Xiaomei had a brainwave and made a pair of couplets: Yumei wears Hong Xiuxie and Bu Bujiao under the moon.
Publisher: Yu Meiren, Hong Xiuxie and Bu Bujiao are also the names of the inscriptions.

Entering the living room, the Taoist priest bowed down and said, "Please sit down!" He also ordered the Taoist boy: "Go to the fragrant tea!"

Please sit down, please sit down, please sit down.
Tea, tea, tea.
I feel ashamed after reading it.
