"High scores and low passing scores, no make-up exams for major and minor exams. Horizontal comment: The better, the better."... Take a walk around the freshman dormitory of Huizhou University, and you will find many such things Interesting couplet. Although the New Year has passed a long time ago, the couplets are still prosperous. Some of them are elegant, some are tense, some are vigorous and free, and some are flying with dragons and phoenixes. The trend of decorating dormitories with Spring Festival couplets started before the Spring Festival.
Posting couplets in dormitories for good luck
The above-mentioned couplets were posted on the door of a male dormitory of a freshman class in the Department of Economics and Management. Student Yang told reporters that they were posted before the final exam of last semester. The main reason is to boost the morale of the roommates, hoping to get a good omen and continue the good atmosphere before the exam into the new semester.
As soon as this couplet was posted, it caused the freshman boys’ dormitory to follow suit. Not to be outdone, students from the Chinese Department "showed off" their professional skills in the couplet. There is a couplet in a dormitory of a male student majoring in Chinese language and literature in 2008 that reads "striving for the first". The first couplet is: Showing youth and fighting for freedom, and the second couplet is: Scholarship, thinking, calligraphy and ink flying. The couplets posted by boys majoring in radio and television journalism are even more outrageous: "With skillful hands, one can see the sun through the clouds, and with iron teeth, one can express opinions and guide the country", and horizontally criticize "seeking truth and being pragmatic." This reflects their understanding and feelings about their profession. Seeing that the Spring Festival was approaching, more than 10 freshman boys' dormitories had red couplets posted on their doors. "We mainly think this is a traditional Spring Festival custom, and it looks festive when posted. The red paper we bought is Millennium Red, which will not fade easily." Huang Guohuan, a 2008 student majoring in Chinese language and literature, said.
Create it yourself and use it yourself
As soon as I found out, such talented couplets were created by the students themselves and came from their own hands. Huang Guohuan said that as a student of the Chinese Department, he usually pays close attention to poetry and couplets. It is not difficult for them to write rhymes and contrasts between oblique and oblique words. Coupled with his hobby of calligraphy for many years, writing couplets is easy for him. Once this talent spread, female classmates and foreign majors in the class all asked him to write a couplet for their dormitory.
Huang Haihui, who is also majoring in Chinese language and literature, put a lot of thought into decorating the dormitory door. He embedded the names of all the members of the dormitory into the couplet (Cherish the time this morning to see the glory of the ages, and talk about the country and the world soaring into the sky. Horizontal comment: full of economics). "Full of belly" are the characters in the names of the five roommates. Talented enough! "In modern society, traditional customs are increasingly being forgotten. I hope we can still stick to the most eternal essence of Chinese culture." Huang said.
