Kingoma Iron swallowed Wan Li like a tiger.
The bamboo flute and harp have been kept by the gods like turtles for thousands of years.
Explanation:
First, from the semantic point of view: Shanglian is magnificent and heroic; The bottom couplet has a profound charm and a secluded style, which means the opposite and complement each other, which is more in line with the theme requirements of the landlord. The second couplet seems to write the sound of the bamboo flute and the bronze harp guarded by the gods, but it is actually a detached feeling of the gods. Semantic relevance is the most fundamental requirement of couplets.
Secondly, in terms of part of speech, the part of speech of any word in the upper couplet, including nouns, verbs and quantifiers, must be completely consistent with the part of speech of the same word in the lower couplet. For example: Jin (noun) to stone (noun), Tun (verb) to longevity (verb), Wan Li (quantifier) to Millennium (quantifier) and so on. The consistency of parts of speech is the minimum requirement of couplets.
Third, the word belongs to the next level: in addition, the words "gold" and "iron" in the upper couplet belong to "gold" according to Jin Mu's theory of fire, water and soil; The following couplets "bamboo" and "tung" belong to "wood" from the theory of five elements. Both "Qi" and "God" belong to human nature. "Tiger" (beast) and "turtle" (ghost bird) are both animals with the same predicate. Say a few more words: from ancient times to the present, turtles are spiritual birds and beasts, belonging to one of the four spirits of China. According to the Song Dynasty's Notes on Thirteen Classics, "If things are objects, there are images in the sky ... forest, phoenix, dragon and turtle, which are collectively called the Four Spirits." According to legend, when Dayu was in power, a turtle appeared in Luohe, Silonen County, Luoyang, carrying a "Luoshu" on his back and gave it to Dayu. Dayu succeeded in harnessing water on this basis, so he decided that the world was Kyushu. It can be seen that "turtle" has always been the embodiment of magic and wisdom. In addition, "Turtle" is good at keeping a low profile, keeping a simple mind and being a hermit. On the whole, the resourceful, carefree and open-minded "turtle" and the "tiger" who can be used to fighting and heroic spirit echo each other from afar and take the lead. Word equivalence is also the minimum requirement of couplets.
Fourthly, in terms of phonetics, according to Ping Yun Shui in the Song Dynasty, the phonology of the first book "Jin Goma Iron, Swallowing Wan Li Like a Tiger" is "Ping, Ping, Ping, Ping", while "Judy connects Qin and Shen" can be seen that the phonology of the upper and lower parts of the same word is completely opposite. Peace is the minimum requirement of couplets.
Fifthly, from the rhetorical point of view, the "swallowing Wan Li" in the first part of the couplet is an exaggeration, while the "observing God for thousands of years" in the second part is an exaggeration; The "tiger" in the first part is a metaphor, and the "turtle" in the second part is also a metaphor. Rhetoric is the same, which can be used as a higher requirement for couplets.
