1, Ji Xiaolan was a college student in the Qing Dynasty. Once, he went home to visit relatives during the Spring Festival, and a family of three brothers in the village asked him to write Spring Festival couplets. He wrote a pair of "earth-shattering portals, one of the best families", and the horizontal comment was "acting first".
This is a terrible mistake. He was accused of cheating the monarch in the name of "offending".
When Emperor Qianlong learned of this incident, he immediately called Ji Xiaolan back to Beijing to ask. Ji Xiaolan replied, "I wrote Spring Festival couplets correctly! Isn't this boss selling firecrackers an "earth-shattering portal"? The second child is in charge of the fair fight. Isn't screaming all day one of the best families? The third is to sell roast chicken, isn't it' cut first and then play'? "
The words were dry, and the dragon smiled.
Guo Moruo studied in a private school when he was a child.
Once I ate peaches with my classmates in the temple. The monk complained to the gentleman, who asked who did it, and no one dared to admit it. Mr. Wang said, I'll make a pair, and whoever deserves it will be exempted from punishment.
Mr. Wang's first couplet is: "I wonder who stole the peach and drilled the dog hole yesterday?" Guo Moruo thought for a moment and said to him, "I must have been there when he climbed the Bukan Palace in Guangxi." Teacher Wang was very happy and marveled at his talent, so all the students were exempted from punishment.
3. There was a rich man, and his father and son spent money to donate Jinshi, which was very proud. On New Year's Eve, couplets were posted at the door to celebrate. The content of the couplet is like this: "Father Jinshi, son Jinshi, father and son Jinshi; Wife, wife and daughter-in-law, wife and daughter-in-law are ladies. "
After reading it, a scholar added a few strokes to the couplet, which became: "The father is buried, the son is buried, and the father and son are buried together; Wife loses her husband, daughter-in-law loses her husband, and both wife and daughter lose their husbands. When the rich man saw it, he was ashamed and angry and tore up the couplet.
There was a great genius in Ming Dynasty named Jie Jin, who was the editor-in-chief of Yongle Dadian. When Jie Jin was a child, his family was poor. His parents make a living by selling tofu. His home is opposite Cao Shangshu House, and there is a large bamboo forest in the yard. During the Spring Festival, he posted a pair of Spring Festival couplets on the door: "The door is facing a thousand bamboo poles, and the family hides thousands of books."
Cao Shangshu heard a servant report that someone was talking about bamboo in his yard, so he had it cut down. Jie Jin, Jr. knew what it meant, so he added a sentence to each couplet: "The door is as short as a thousand bamboo poles, and the house is as long as ten thousand rolls."
Cao Shangshu was even more annoyed and asked Ding Ding to uproot the bamboo. Jie Jin Jr. was very naughty, and added another sentence to the upper and lower couplets: "There is no bamboo under the door, but thousands of books is at home."
Once upon a time, there was a Zhang Xiucai who was arrogant.
One day, he met a farmer who was carrying mud on the ridge of the field. The ridge is so narrow that only one person can pass, and neither of them will give way. The farmer smiled and said, "I have a pair of top couplets." If you can make a couplet, I am willing to make way for you. "
The scholar thought, I'm so talented, what's the difficulty in being a bottom allied, so I readily agreed.
The farmer said, "My first contact was: a load of heavy mud met Luz (meaning: once Zhong Ni met Luz)".
Zhang Xiucai thought hard and had nothing to say, so he had to go down to the field to make way for the farmer.
Three years later, Zhang Xiucai saw river workers break their banks to divert water. In the evening, two river workers went home laughing together. At this time, the scholar suddenly realized and continued the peasant couplet: "Lord of the two dikes, look back and smile."
