Interesting couplets, couplets! thank you

Surname couplets are a colorful category in the garden of couplets. According to reports, Ji Xiaolan, a gifted scholar in the Qing Dynasty, made a clever surname couplet to congratulate his cousin Niu Renwen on marrying a daughter-in-law:

Embroidered pavilion reunited with the moon;

This sweet lady is quiet and good at playing the piano.

Ji Xiaolan also noticed that this couplet used the allusion of your family. It turns out that this couplet implicitly expresses the meaning of "the Niu family got married" and uses the allusions of "the rhinoceros looks at the moon" and "casting pearls before swine", which is a wonderful couplet.

Legend has it that there are two families, Zhu and Xiang, adjacent to a certain place, and the two families often have conflicts in order to show off their family glory. This year, Zhu posted a striking couplet on the gate:

Two emperors;

A generation of saints.

The first part refers to Zhu Wen, the founding emperor of Liang Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of Ming Dynasty. The second couplet refers to Zhu, a Neo-Confucianism scholar in the Song Dynasty, who was called "Ya Sheng" at that time. Seeing this, Chunyuchang, of course, not to be outdone, immediately posted a couplet:

Cook the son of heaven;

Be a teacher of saints.

This couplet made Zhu's popularity half dead, but he was helpless. It turns out that this couplet refers to Xiang Yu boiling Liu Bang's father to death in a cauldron, and the couplet refers to Confucius, a great sage who once worshipped Xiang Tuo as his teacher. This is wonderful, but it hurts harmony and is not conducive to unity.

In surname couplets, the technique of embedding words or dividing words is often used to display surnames, which is very humorous. For example, today China's biggest surname is "Li", and there is such a couplet:

Murong Hua blooms in the Spring Festival;

Filial piety and Sun Xian virtue.

Another example is the seventh surname "Zhao", and there is also a punch line:

The pride of Changshan is heroic;

Strange books of Taoist Xue in Song Dynasty.

This couplet is embedded with the names of Zhao Zilong, a brave general of the Three Kingdoms, and Zhao Mengfu, an outstanding painter and calligrapher in the Yuan Dynasty (Zi Zi Ang, named Song Xuedao), which can be described as a coincidence and ingenuity.

In the couplets of surnames, the case of "He Ding" or "De" is often used, but it is also hidden, such as the couplets of "Cao":

Noda oriole travels to Wan Li Road;

Qinpu Dream of Red Mansions.

The Journey of Wild Birds here is one of Cao Zhi's representative works, while A Dream of Red Mansions is a masterpiece of Cao Xueqin, a great writer in Qing Dynasty. Joining the league in the name of books, secretly containing surnames, gorgeous literary talent, seamless.

Celebrities in ancient and modern times are brilliant. Some are upright and upright, and some are full of ideas. Many of them write couplets and tell their health care methods and feelings in daily life to encourage themselves and inspire others.

At the end of Ming Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong, a national hero, wrote couplets in calligraphy, saying, "It is not good to keep in good health, but it is fun to read." The first part is the language of Mencius, and the second part is Gong Zheng's own feelings.

Zheng Banqiao, a writer, painter and one of the Eight Eccentrics in Yangzhou in Qing Dynasty, wrote a couplet in class in his later years: "Vegetable, radish, brown rice, casserole, Tianshui chrysanthemum tea." Don't think that this is a generation of celebrities comforting themselves when they are down and out. In fact, this is Zheng Banqiao's profound knowledge. He knows that poor people's food is conducive to the longevity of the elderly.

Zhang Zhidong, the leader of Westernization School in the late Qing Dynasty, bachelor of cabinet and governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, made great achievements in his life. In his later years, he wrote his own couplets and hung them in the hall, telling himself that when he was supporting the elderly in his hometown. Lian said: "Nothing is reassuring, but it is not enough to cure."

Zhai Gongluan, a famous person in the Qing Dynasty, once wrote a couplet: "Quiet is also quiet and moving, and the five internal organs disappear; Rong also endured humiliation and never lived in a crisis. "For those who are lazy or biased, and those who haggle over power and profits, Zhai Gong's famous couplets should be a panacea for their rehabilitation.

Mr. Yu Youren, a great modern calligrapher in China, has a special liking for pine trees all his life. In his early and late years, he wrote couplets and banners in the main hall, praising pine trees countless times. In his later years, the old man hung a photo of his early Mo Bao in his hall. The book says: "Planting willows to observe business, planting pine to raise Taihe." Taihe refers to the process of mutual change and passage of yin and yang between nature and human body, and the state of contradiction and unity. It is not difficult to see how much a strong man loves life, works hard, loves life and pays attention to health care in his later years.

The couplets with cooking as the main content have been cleverly conceived and carefully "cooked", which is full of charm.

Boiling five flavors is sweet;

Pick up the scent of the crowd to make up for the harmony.

This is a famous cooking couplet, meaning delicious food. Taihe refers to the vitality of human body. In just fourteen words, Tao and cooking theory (harmony of five flavors), material (group fragrance) and effect (complement). Concise and concise, it can be seen that its expressive force is strong.

If it is cured, there is only Zhuangzi;

Only the slaughtered meat is Chen Ping.

This is a subtle double association, which uses puns to express rich meanings. Lao Zi praised Zhuangzi's brilliant talent and said that he "cooked a little fresh and ruled a big country"; According to historical records, when Prime Minister Chen Ping was young, he distributed the meat to the whole village, and the share was very even. He claimed that if he "slaughtered the world, it would be meat". The upper and lower couplets are all based on the chef's superb cooking skills, suggesting the ability to govern the country politically.

Sweep bamboo leaves and cook tea;

Split the pine roots and cook the vegetable roots.

This is Zheng Banqiao's book, Chengdu Qingcheng Mountain, Zhang Tianshi Cave Dining Hall. The couplets are simple and elegant, based on local materials, with random words, describing the life scene of Shi Tian, the ancestor of Taoism. They are delicious.

There is also a pair of cooking couplets, and the allusion is just right:

Remember that new bass can be eaten;

When rice and crabs mature, they begin to fertilize.

This couplet quotes a famous allusion: a man named Hans Zhang was an official in a foreign land in the Jin Dynasty. One year when the autumn wind started, he suddenly remembered the water shield and bass in his hometown of Suzhou, so he sighed, "Life is expensive." In order to taste the native water shield and perch, the adult even quit his job and returned to his hometown in a canoe. Such a naive interest can't help but make people smile.

Three meals a day is an important part of housekeeping, and there is a kitchen couplet worth reading:

Ordinary odorless;

Fresh and clean is a treasure.
