Self-elegiac couplet is the elegiac couplet he wrote for himself before his death. Many literati in the Qing Dynasty wrote self-elegiac couplets, which are quite touching to read today. Self-elegiac couplets are mostly literary games, or lament the sadness of life experience, or lament the bitter cold of the world, or infatuate with this life, or look forward to the afterlife, and so on, highlighting the word "drama". It can be seen that the author is broad-minded, humorous and leisurely, showing an optimistic attitude towards death.
Liang Shutong, a famous calligrapher in Qing Dynasty, "is famous all over the world, and people who ask for books have several bundles of paper every day", and he is also known as "four schools of Qianlong" with Weng Fanggang and Liu Yong. He has been an official for many years, but his life is extremely simple. His character is Geng Jie but not kitsch. He once wrote a couplet: "Ten years to study, ten years to be an official, ten years to return to the field, life is limited;" There is no biography of scholars, no biography of officials, no biography of seclusion, and no words of death. " The first part is an overview of life experience, and the second part is a brief comment on one's own performance.
Yu Yue, a master of Chinese studies, wrote an elegy for himself: "Life is useless, and death has nothing to do with it. It is enough to write more than 250 books and spread them all over the world; I am worthy of heaven, I don't care about people, I am mighty, I have worked for more than 30 years, and I am happy! "This self-elegiac couplet is a wonderful self-evaluation he gave to the world.
Not many people regard death as a long journey. Yang Zaisheng, a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, wrote such a self-elegy:
Read a book for ten years, sigh that the loess is buried today, and regret it like a cocoon;
Don't worry about it, wait for the near-re-embodiment people to hit the road. At that time, you will breathe like a rainbow.
The first couplet laments that life is short and reading is a waste. The second part of the pen turns, in the near future, ups and downs. Readers will definitely chew a little between the lines.

I'm ashamed of my incompetence. I have kung fu in my book, which is a rumor. It is difficult for the poor to live, and the rich are addicted to money.
People don't know when they die, but a five-foot coffin is enough, not to mention the loss of production and physical harm.
Couplets are full of righteousness, but unfortunately they can't cure the diseases of the rich and the poor in the world. The second couplet tells his family to be simple in mourning, not to waste life and money, and to have a progressive mind and a caring heart.
Look at the next couplet:
If you ride a whale westward today, you will be seven feet tall and withered, and your blood will be spilled in the empty forest. Who will sing, drum a good pipa, hang a sword, lament the dead wood and autumn soul, make me excited for a long time, and even let the loess bury me, I should call a male ghost;
May the crane return to the east today, with one petal of incense to the best of my nature and three bodies to show my golden body. I would like to use this as firewood for fishing, traveling on land and mountains, reading about gull leagues on water, selling splendid flowers and warm hearts, and living happily for the rest of my life. I'm afraid that God will thank me and try again.
