1 the origin of cultural couplets Wang Anshi, a poet in the Song Dynasty, wrote in "January Day": In addition to firecrackers in a year, spring breeze brings warmth. Thousands of families always trade new peaches for old ones. What do "new peach" and "old symbol" mean? In modern terms, it is the Spring Festival couplets. Spring Festival couplets are a kind of couplets. How did China Spring Festival couplets develop? As a unique literary form, Spring Festival couplets have a long history in China. It began in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, especially in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and has developed for more than a thousand years today. As early as before the Qin and Han dynasties, there was a custom of hanging peach symbols around the gate every New Year. Fu Tao is two big boards made of peach wood, on which are written the names of the legendary gods and spirits who exorcise ghosts and suppress evil spirits. This custom lasted for more than 1000 years. It was not until the Five Dynasties that people began to put couplets on mahogany boards instead of the names of gods. According to historical records, on New Year's Eve in 964 AD, Meng Chang, the master of Houshu, wrote a couplet on the bedroom door, namely, "On New Year's Eve, Jia Jienuo. Changchun ",the earliest Spring Festival couplets in China. After the Song Dynasty, it has become quite common for people to hang Spring Festival couplets in the New Year. Therefore, Wang Anshi wrote in the poem "January Day" that "thousands of households always change new peaches for old ones" was a true portrayal of the Spring Festival couplets at that time. Due to the close relationship between the appearance of Spring Festival couplets and Fu Tao, the ancients also called Spring Festival couplets "Fu Tao". In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding father of the Ming Dynasty, strongly advocated couplets. After establishing the capital of Jinling (now Nanjing), he ordered ministers, officials and ordinary people to write a couplet and put it on the door before New Year's Eve. Dressed in casual clothes, he went out door to door to watch the excitement. Scholars at that time also regarded couplets as elegant enjoyment, and writing Spring Festival couplets became a social fashion. After entering the Qing Dynasty, couplets prevailed in Qianlong, Jiaqing and Daoguang generations. Just like the prosperous Tang Dynasty, many famous couplets appeared. With the development of cultural exchanges among countries, couplets were introduced to Vietnam, Korea, Japan, Singapore and other countries. These countries still have the custom of pasting couplets. On the eve of the Spring Festival in 964 (the twenty-seventh year of Zheng Guang's reign), Meng Changjun, the Lord of Shu, suddenly ordered his ministers to write couplets on the "Fu Tao Board" (a red wooden board painted with statues, which was thought to ward off evil spirits in the old days) to test their talents. However, when courtiers wrote dialogues to Meng Chang, Meng Chang was not satisfied. So, he personally picked up a pen and wrote on the "Fu Tao Board": New Year, Qing Yu Festival, Changchun. This is the earliest Spring Festival couplets recorded in Chinese characters. The types of couplets can be divided into Spring Festival couplets according to the contents reflected and the occasions used: couplets specially posted on New Year's Day and Spring Festival are called Spring Festival couplets with the main contents of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, expressing their heartfelt feelings, being full of lofty sentiments and looking forward to the future because of their strong timeliness. For example, in order to express a certain desire or meet the needs of decoration, couplets used to be carved on the pillars of government houses, houses, temples and gardens, or carved with wooden boards or carved on wall stones, which are collectively called couplets. For example, 1979, the "Yue Temple" in Hangzhou was renovated. Zhao Puchu, a well-known contemporary poet and calligrapher, changed the meaning of Yue Fei's "full of river red" and wrote a magnificent new couplet for the big columns on both sides of the reconstructed Yue Fei statue: I hope the weather will be beautiful, inspire people's souls, revitalize the temple today, reopen the ancient cypress and look up to Chihiro. Wedding couplets: Couplets specially selected or written to express warm atmosphere on the wedding day. For example, Spring Festival Evening couplets are used in memorial services or commemorative meetings to evaluate the life achievements of ancestors and express the sincere nostalgia of future generations, which is a wonderful way to add moonlight to flowers. For example, an elegiac couplet in memory of the beloved Premier Zhou: the revolutionary cause of the old cadres is like the towering Mount Tai shaking the world, and the ashes are covered with the kindness of the Prime Minister, such as drops of rain and dew moistening people's hearts. When the elderly celebrate their birthdays, children often write some auspicious words seriously, or stick them on the door or hang them in the hall. This is the so-called birthday couplets. For example, happiness in the East China Sea is longer than longevity in Nanshan. The requirements of couplets are both "right" and "couplet". In the form of pairs, they are "right" to each other; The contents of the context take care of each other and are closely related. The upper and lower couplets must have a complete and unified structure and clear and concise language. The requirements of couplets are: the number of words in the upper and lower couplets should be equal; The phrases of the upper couplet and the lower couplet should be the same: that is, the phrases that make up the upper couplet are several words respectively, and the corresponding phrases of the lower couplet must also be several words respectively. The upper and lower parts of speech should be consistent; The so-called part of speech refers to the category nature of words, such as nouns, verbs and adjectives. The part of speech of the upper couplet and the part of speech of the lower couplet should be the same and relative according to the order of words. This requirement is mainly to better express the ideological content in symmetrical artistic language. The syntax of up and down links should be consistent; Syntax is the way to make sentences. In a couplet, the first couplet is composed of several words, so must the second couplet. Up and down should be harmonious; In the expression of couplets, we should pay attention to the relative melody, that is, the tone is even and gentle. This is mainly for the sake of harmonious phonology, scattered ups and downs, and pleasing to the ear. For example, the cloud brought the bell through the tree to the flat, flat, flat, and the moon moved on the flat in Jiang Lai. There are mainly two syllables in ancient poetry, one is called "two-tone step" and the other is called "one-tone step". Two-tone step is mainly based on the second word, and the first word is not strict, and couplets are also acceptable. For example, this window contains four berths of Xiling Qianqiuxue-Pingping-Pingping, Wu Dong Wan Li Ship-Pingping-Pingping. The upper "window" and the lower "door" are flat to flat, and "west" and "east" are opposite. The contents of the up and down links should be related; For example, Gu Xiancheng, the leader of Lindong Party in the Ming Dynasty, wrote such a couplet on the gate of Donglin Academy: The sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, all care about the family, the country and the world. The first part writes about scenery, the second part expresses ambition, and the content of the first part is closely related, which makes it easy for people to understand the author's self-encouragement and self-motivation literally.
