If we visit Confucius in Qufu now, we will see a pair of couplets on the bright columns on both sides of Confucius' main entrance. Stay with the country, have a rest, get rich and honor the government? What is the bottom line? The same day and the old moral saint family? .
If you just browse the following couplets in general, you will naturally feel quite good, but if you look carefully word by word, you will find different places. What appeared in the original couplets? Rich? The top is a little missing, and then what? Chapter? The lower vertical will continue to extend upward, won't it? Day? Became? Tian? .
In our opinion, isn't this a mistake? Imagine that if you write like this in the exam, you will lose your score of 100%. So, who wrote this couplet and who committed it? Low level? What about mistakes?
Although there is no direct evidence and historical records, most people think that this couplet was written by Ji Yun and Ji Xiaolan. Although Ji Xiaolan was different from Ji Xiaolan in history, he was indeed a great genius of the Qing Dynasty, which is universally acknowledged.
If he really wrote this couplet, why is there a typo? Even if he doesn't look at it for a while and writes wrong words, people around him can't help but find out what kind of existence Confucius is. Such couplets must be cautious. How can typos be allowed in couplets? Isn't this a direct face?
But the truth is, do this couple have? Wrong word? This pair of couplets has been quietly hanging at the main entrance of Confucius, and it is said that it was written by Yan Song? Holy house? The two-character plaque constitutes a unique landscape. The reason why this couplet has always existed is not really wrong, nor is it wrongly written, but a normal writing.
Many people in the world think that this is the original work of Ji Xiaolan. Rich? No, one of the things above is? Wealth has no apex? This is naturally a compliment to Confucius, then? Break through the sun? what's up Chapter? Word, is it praising Confucius? Articles? In short, Ji Xiaolan wrote these two articles in terms of contribution? Wrong word? The purpose is for our Kong family.
Of course, the original intention of this couplet is indeed so, but what about these two? Wrong? Word was invented by Ji Xiaolan to highlight this kind of praise, which is inevitably exaggerated. In fact, the writing of these two words in couplets has existed for a long time in ancient times and is also very common in calligraphy.
Just be rich? Generally speaking, calligraphy is often written? Hey? And there is evidence to illustrate this point, such as Wei Bei in the Southern and Northern Dynasties? Hey? It often appeared in the Tang dynasty, and it was found in many calligraphers' works? Hey? Liu Gongquan, for example, is also written in "Shence Army Monument"? Hey? , and so on.
Therefore, this is not Ji Xiaolan's original creation, but a normal writing style in calligraphy, which embodies the style of the ancients? Wealth is not exposed, wealth is not in the first place? A low-key and gentle attitude.
Similarly, break through the sun? Chapter? Chinese characters are also a common writing method in calligraphy, such as Lu Jianzhi in Tang Dynasty and Zhao Mengfu in Song Dynasty. In fact, in the pre-Qin, Qin and Han dynasties, Zhang? This broke through the sun and later evolved into today's? Chapter? Chinese characters, which are gradually out of use, will only appear in calligraphy.
So, in Ji Xiaolan's couplets? Rich? And then what? Chapter? Chinese characters are neither misspelled nor original by Ji Xiaolan, but a common way of calligraphy writing. There are actually many Chinese characters like this, such as? Ming? Characters, in calligraphy, often add a horizontal.
Ming Tombs, built in 196 1, of which? Ming? This word has been added with an extra horizontal line. In some places? Yuanmingyuan? Are you online? Ming? This is also the case. It's not a mistake, but it often happens in calligraphy. Actually, Ming? In ancient times, it didn't matter whether the word was added or not, but in modern times, it was abolished. Ming? Word, it only appears in calligraphy.
What else is there? Avoid? This word is often added to calligraphy works. Emperor Kangxi built a summer resort in Chengde, and wrote it himself? Summer resort? Four words, which one? Avoid? There is an extra horizontal character, which is also common in calligraphy. For example, in Ou Yangxun's "Jiu Cheng Gong Li Quan Ming" in the Tang Dynasty, taboo? One more line.
In ancient times, in fact, many characters were originally written in two ways, but with the passage of time, one writing method gradually became the mainstream and the other was gradually abandoned. At present, there is basically only one way to write a Chinese character, and if there is any difference, it is only reflected in calligraphy.
