The practice of couplets is to write according to the author's own thoughts and feelings, which is called creation, or to collect antitheses from ancient poetry and literature, which is called set sentences. When creating couplets, we must pay attention to the fact that the upper and lower couplets cannot be crossed, nor can we use two couplets to say the same meaning.
Due to the duality of words, nouns can be converted from nouns to nouns, verbs can be converted from verbs, and adjectives can be converted from adjectives to adjectives. This is the method of converting function words into function words.
As far as couplets are concerned, it is the literati who spread to the social class. The important reason is that words are concise, short and pithy, easy to spread, language is the essence, people praise from all angles, new people and new things, landscapes, flowers and birds are summarized, resulting in a unique poetic feeling with pictures in poetry. After careful consideration, you can make the idea you need perfect in a few words to a dozen words.
