Anecdotes and tips of ancient people about lovers
Spring Festival couplets have existed since ancient times. In ancient times, there were many interesting stories related to Spring Festival couplets. Today, as an art and anecdote, this article has collected some interesting Spring Festival couplets for readers.
Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, likes to write couplets, but every time he just posted them, others stole them. On New Year's Eve, he came up with a clever way to prevent "thieves": he posted this couplet on the door:
Felicity never paired off.
When it rains, it pours/Misfortunes never come singly
The thief walked up to Wang Zhai and shook his head. In the early morning of the first day, Wang Xizhi continued three words at the end of the couplet, which became a masterpiece with full salary:
Happiness has not doubled until now.
It never rains but it pours.
This legendary "skill" is obviously not credible-because the first Spring Festival couplets did not appear until the Five Dynasties. But the story is very interesting, and the couplets are also artistic, which is quite worth appreciating.
