Hu Sheng's calligraphy

Su Dongpo is in Hangzhou and likes to make friends with monks in West Lake Temple. He and monk Fo Yin of the Holy Mountain Temple are best friends. They often make jokes while drinking and reciting poems.

Monks in Fo Yin are delicious. Whenever Su Dongpo treats guests at a banquet, he always comes uninvited. One night, Su Dongpo invited Huang Tingjian to visit the West Lake, and many tables and drinks were prepared on board. When the cruise ship left the shore, Su Dongpo smiled and said to Huang Tingjian, "Fo Yin will come to every party. Tonight, we will go to the lake by boat to drink, sing poems and have fun. He can't come anyway. " "Who knows, Fo Yin monks have long discovered that Su Dongpo wanted to swim with Huang Tingjian, so they hid under the deck when they didn't get on the boat.

The bright moon is in the sky, the cool breeze is refreshing, and the lotus fragrance is full of lakes. The cruise ship slowly arrived at the Three Towers of the West Lake. Su Dongpo raised his glass and smoothed his beard. He happily said to Huang Tingjian, "Today, without Fo Yin, we are quiet. Let's start by ordering wine. The first two sentences should be immediate and the last two sentences should end with the word "in". " Huang Tingjian said, "All right!" Su Dongpo first said:

What can the sky say when the clouds are parted and the bright moon is in the sky? What did heaven say?

Huang Tingjian looked at the lotus full of lakes, and then said:

Li Anping separated and swam out of the fish, which she deserved! Get what you want!

At that time, Fo Yin couldn't help getting off the deck. Hearing Huang Tingjian say this, he pushed the deck away and climbed out to say:

When the boards were separated, Fo Yin came out, which was really frustrating! Suppress people!

Su Dongpo and Huang Tingjian were startled to see a man suddenly climb out from under the planking. When they looked carefully, it turned out to be Fo Yin. When they heard him say such four poems, they couldn't help laughing.

Su Dongpo took Fo Yin and sat down and said, "You hid well. You are right. You ate again today! So, while enjoying the moon, the three men swam around the lake, talking and laughing.

One day, Su Dongpo instructed the chef to use a live grass carp from the West Lake, wash it, cut it open, split it with five knives, and steam it with ham, onion and ginger. The cook made it and sent it to the study. Su Dongpo looked hot and delicious, and the knife marks on the fish were like willows. He repeatedly shouted, "What a mullet!" Just want to eat chopsticks, suddenly, I saw a flash figure outside the window, Fo Yin monk came. Su Dongpo thought, "Hey, what a monk! He didn't come early or late! I was about to eat fish when you came. I won't let you eat today. What do you do? " I reached out and put this plate of fish on the shelf.

Fo Yin has seen the dish of fish outside the window and thought, Well, you have hidden it well! I want you to take it out, too Su Dongpo greeted Fo Yin with a smile and sat down. He asked, "The big monk is not in the temple. What do you have to say here? " Fo Yin replied solemnly, "I came here today to ask you something." "What word!" "Your name is Sue, how do you spell' Sue'? Su Dongpo's brow wrinkled. Knowing that he was so learned that he couldn't even write the word "Su", he pretended to be serious and replied, "Oh, this word" Su "has a grass prefix on it, a word" Fish "on the left and a word" Wo "on the right. Fo Yin also asked in a confused way, "Oh, what if there is a' valley' on the left and a' fish' on the right under the grass prefix? Su Dongpo said, "Let's say' Sue'. Fo Yin also said, "How about putting the fish on the grass?" Su Dongpo quickly said, "Oh, that won't do!" Fo Yin smiled and said, "Good! You say it's not good to put the fish on it, then take it off! Su Dongpo suddenly woke up! Fo Yin said, eating his plate of mullet.

On one occasion, when Fo Yin was in the temple and knew that Su Dongpo was coming, he steamed a plate of mullet. Su Dongpo just came in. Fo Yin thought, last time you played a joke on me, I'm going to give you a hard time today. There happened to be a chime beside him, so he put the fish in.

Su Dongpo saw it long ago and pretended not to know. As soon as I sat down, I sighed on purpose. Knowing that Su Dongpo was optimistic, Fo Yin asked doubtfully, "Taishou, why are you so sad today? Su Dongpo replied, "Alas, monk, you don't know. In the morning, I want to write a couplet. Who knows, just after writing the first couplet, the second couplet will be difficult. I can't think of it all the time, so I'm very upset! Fo Yin asked, "I don't know what the first part is? Su Dongpo replied: "The first part of the couplet is' Spring Arrives at Xiangyang Gate'. Fo Yin was amused when he heard this: This couplet was pasted on every family, but he used it to make fun of me. I don't know what medicine is sold in the gourd of Su Dong. So he said quietly, "I'll give it to you, right?" The bottom line is "this is not just a celebration to accumulate outstanding talents." Su Dongpo even shouted: "Oh, a talented person is a talented person! So you have fish (surplus) in Qing! Come on, take it out and eat it. " Fo Yin this just suddenly enlighted, obediently took out the fish from the hands of the qing.

When I was a teenager in the summer, it was the time when the powers were rampant and warlords were fighting, and the people lived in dire straits. 19 18 In the spring, Xia was admitted to the third-class industrial school in Hengyang Province. During my study, I saw the smoke everywhere and the mountains and rivers were broken, so I decided to save the country. Under his leadership, Hengyang students set off the climax of the patriotic movement.

There is a subject director in a school in Hengyang who has been in Japan for several months. After returning home, he even imitated the style of foreigners from head to toe. He strongly advocated "oriental civilization", instilled slave thoughts in students and opposed students' participation in patriotic movements. The students secretly called him a "fake foreign devil". Xia thought he should teach the foreign slave a lesson, so he wrote a satirical couplet:

Foreign clothes, foreign hats, foreign socks, foreign hair;

Selling the country, the people and the ancestors is almost sold out.

In the evening, Xia and several classmates quietly posted couplets on the door of the "fake foreign devil" office. The "fake foreign devil" was half dead after seeing it. It soon spread, and everyone said that Xia's couplets not only exposed the ugly face of traitors seeking glory, but also showed the evil spirits in the hearts of Chinese people. Really penetrating, very popular!

Feng Yuxiang, a famous patriotic general, is also a hero who hates evil and has a strong character. At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, Japanese militarism frantically clamored for national subjugation within a few months. Some boring Japanese literati also strongly advocated the war of aggression against China. They made a vicious part and said:

Japan Dongsheng shines on the Chinese nation;

In this part, I used natural phenomena to deliberately insult China, which caused great indignation among the people of China. At that time, some people drew up many bottom lines, but it was difficult to fully express the meaning of tit-for-tat. General Feng Yuxiang, known as the "Qiu Ba Poet", was furious after reading it. In the Shanghai frontline headquarters of the third war zone, he angrily wrote the second part:

As the sun sets, darkness covers hibiscus.

"Yang" refers to Japan's national flag, the sun flag, "Sunset" refers to death, and "Fusang" refers to Japan, which means that Japan will be defeated. Although the antithesis is not neat, it has a profound meaning. It expresses the determination of the Chinese nation to defend our country and defend our country, fight to the death, drive the invaders out of China and destroy them in China. The ambition of the people of China has increased, and the prestige of the Japanese people has been destroyed. For a time, this story was widely told by Chinese people.

190 1 In September, Britain, the United States, Russia, Germany, France and other Eight-Nation Alliance forced the corrupt Qing government to sign the "Xin Chou Treaty" which humiliated the country. At the signing ceremony, four representatives of Eight-Nation Alliance deliberately said to China officials in a contemptuous tone: "We thought of a couplet, but only the upper couplet, not the lower couplet. Can you get it? " He says, just flashed his own part:

Pipa, harp, harp and eight kings are all on the throne.

They want to use this alliance to further insult the people of China and demand that the people of China submit to their Eight Heavenly Kings forever. At this time, there was a knowledgeable and honest official in China. He is full of sadness and anger. He thought: It is better to fight with them than to live in such humiliation, and they will not be wronged. So, he counted the bottom allied forward:

Ghost, four little devils pull over.

The bottom line solemnly points out that the Chinese nation is sacred and inviolable, which not only protects the dignity of the people of China, but also warns the imperialist powers. Hearing this, the four representatives of Eight-Nation Alliance had to admire China's talent and swallow his bad luck.

However, the corrupt and weak Qing government is already a crumbling building. It is impossible to turn Gan Kun around by a few pens if you want to turn the tide. Finally, after more than 300 years of rule, the Qing Empire completed its historical mission and was guillotined by Sun Yat-sen. ..

In the late period of the Cultural Revolution, the Gang of Four ran amok, which brought disaster to the country and people, causing public outrage. Someone modified the couplets above to satirize them:

Pipa, harp, pipa, the first of the eight kings,

Ghosts, four little devils, all kinds of hearts.

This pair of couplets accurately outlines the ferocious face and ambition of the Gang of Four, each with his own ulterior motives and plotting to usurp the country. The golden monkey lifted a thousand sticks to sweep away the harmful essence from the world. Didn't the smashing of the Gang of Four prove that all evil forces will eventually perish?

1947, Yu Zisan, chairman of Zhejiang University Student Union, was unjustly arrested by the Kuomintang reactionaries for leading the "anti-civil war, anti-hunger and anti-persecution" movement of students at that time, and was killed after being sentenced in prison. When the news came out, people in China were furious and held memorial services in succession to remember the martyrs and denounce the evil deeds of the reactionary Kuomintang government. At the memorial service held in Peiping, a couplet wrote:

Love peace is guilty, love democracy is guilty, and fighting for freedom is guilty, damn it, that shit constitution;

You can fight civil war, betray your country, kill young people, fuck you, this shameless government.

Once upon a time, the most interesting thing in reading was to do the right questions, with teachers doing the first couplet and students doing the second couplet. The antithesis should be neat, even and rhyming. One day, a gentleman named Diao wrote a crooked line:

Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle.

Let Tong Sheng be right. The boy thought for a long time, but no one told the bottom line. Mr. Wang scolded, "You punk, see which boy comes out first!" " A boy listened and thought, let's use the word sir, so he stood up and said, sir, I'm right! ""Mr Nodded, TongSheng openings say:

Life is death, death is life, life is death, death is life, life is death, death is life, death is life, death is life, Mr. Dies first, Mr. Dies first.

Hearing this, Mr. Wang was so angry that he sat down in his chair and couldn't speak for a long time.

Su Dongpo and Fo Yin talked about Buddhism, while Fo Yin boasted about the boundless power of Buddhism and the boundless dharma. Su Dongpo's sister, Su Xiaomei, eavesdropped behind the curtain and wanted to stab him, so she wrote a pair of couplets with Chinese characters, and asked the maid to take them out and give them to Su Dongpo. Dongpo took one look and said, "Interesting, interesting!" Then read it to Fo Yin:

Man used to be a monk, but he can become a Buddha.

Fo Yin saw that he was being sarcastic. How could he give up willingly? After some thinking, he finally got the antithetical couplet. Write it out and give it to Dongpo. Dongpo saw it and gave it to Su Xiaomei. Su Xiaomei looked at it:

A woman is humble as a maid, and a woman can be called a slave.

One day, Su Xiaomei was struggling with Su Dongpo's poems. Unexpectedly, after Fo Yin came in, she quickly hid in her account. Fo Yin saw this situation, that is, the mouth accounts for a couplet:

Beauty sits in a green gauze tent and a peony in a gauze cage.

The little sister thought, this monk is really annoying. His brothers and sisters were talking excitedly, but you broke them up, and you were still singing and playing with me. Okay, I'll call you back and scold you. So, read aloud a way:

Wash monks and soak gourds by the clear water pool.

"Water soaked gourd!" Su Dongpo clapped his hands and called it wonderful. Fo Yin had to touch the bald wry smile.
