Liu Gongquan's excellent couplet calligraphy picture couplet, one of China's traditional cultures, also known as couplet or couplet, is a antithesis written on paper, cloth or engraved on bamboo, wood and columns. The antithesis of couplets is neat and even, which is a unique artistic form of Chinese language. According to legend, couplets originated from Meng Changjun, the master of Shu after the Five Dynasties. Couplets are the treasures of China traditional culture.
Liu Gongquan's Appreciation of Calligraphy Works of Couplets Parallel Prose and Rhyme are two direct sources of couplets. In the process of its own development, couplets have absorbed the characteristics of ancient poems, essays, lyrics and songs. Therefore, the sentence patterns used in couplets include ancient poems, prose sentences and parody sentences in addition to regular poems and parallel prose sentences. Different sentence patterns have different metrical patterns and different leniency. Among them, the sentence pattern of rhythmic poetry is the most strict, while the sentence pattern of ancient verse has no restrictions except at the end of the sentence.
The historical origin of couplets is dual literature. The parallel symmetry of this language is different from the so-called philosophy? Tai Chi gives birth to two devices? . In other words, everything in the world is divided into two halves of yin and yang symmetry, and the essence of thinking is extremely similar. Therefore, we can say that the philosophical origin and deep-seated national cultural psychology of China's couplets are binary concepts of Yin and Yang. The dualism of yin and yang is the basis of China's ancient world outlook. It is the way of thinking of ancient people in China to grasp things with the binary concept of Yin and Yang. This idea of duality of yin and yang has a long history. The hexagrams in the Book of Changes are composed of Yin and Yang. I ching said:? One yin and one yang are called Tao. ? Lao Tzu also said:? Everything is negative and positive, and I rashly think it is peace. ? ("Lao Zi" Chapter 42. Xunzi thinks:? Heaven and earth create everything together, and Yin and Yang change together. ? ("Xunzi?" "Book of Rites" and "Huang Lao Silk Book" say:? The way of heaven and earth is left and right, yin and yang. ? This concept of Yin and Yang is not only an abstract concept, but also widely penetrated into the understanding and explanation of everything in nature and human society in ancient China.
