So when writing some pictures, there are problems with the use and habits of tools. Then the structure of the structure. When writing small print, we all sit at our desks and keep a complete observation of the paper and perspective. But when writing big characters, you need to stand or even bend over to write. When writing each word, you must know the length and thickness of the strokes.
Couplets, also known as antithesis, antithesis, spring stickers, Spring Festival couplets, couplets, peach symbols and couplets (named after couplets hung in ancient halls and houses), are antithetical sentences written on paper, cloth or engraved on bamboo, wood and columns. The antithesis of couplets is neat and even, which is a unique artistic form of Chinese. Couplets are the treasures of China traditional culture.
As a custom, couplets are an important part of Han traditional culture. In 2005, the custom of couplets was listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage in the State Council, China. The custom of couplets is passed down and spread in Chinese-speaking areas and ethnic groups with cultural origins of Chinese characters, which is of great value for promoting Chinese culture.
Language root-seeking:
Couplets are short in form and concise in words, which is not only a vivid artistic expression, but also an excellent cultural heritage. Couplets are developed on the basis of ancient "Fu Tao" and "antithesis". The earliest Spring Festival couplets in China appeared more than 1000 years ago. According to historical records, on the eve of the Spring Festival in the twenty-seventh year of the post-Shu Dynasty (AD 964), Meng Chang, the master of the post-Shu State, was good at learning couplets on weekdays, so when the new year came, he suddenly made a decree to ask ministers to write couplets on the "Fu Tao Board" to test his talents.
Ministers each wrote a picture and waited patiently for the inspection. Meng Chang looked at them one by one, but he was not satisfied. So he personally put pen to paper and wrote "Qing Yu in the New Year" on the "Fu Tao Board"; The festival number is Changchun. " This is the earliest Spring Festival couplets written by China.
The exquisite format of couplets not only has a long history and traditional habits, but also has a unified and fixed format on the basis of widespread use by the masses. From the literary point of view, it is a special style that is more valued and strict in China folk cultural heritage.
From the format, it is closely combined with the characteristics of real life, including two doorframes and a lintel road, and correspondingly consists of three parts: the first part, also called sentences; Bottom line: the second sentence, also called antithesis; Banner: Also called horizontal batch or horizontal row. The upper and lower couplets are the main part of couplets, which are both wonderful and indispensable. In addition, in the practical application of couplets, no matter how long the upper and lower couplets are, there are generally no punctuation marks, which is also very particular about the format.
