Who has the famous ancient couplets? Pray for the great gods.
Nationalism lasted for a long time and was complete at the beginning. If God knows, it is a little relieved that the scenery of the holy lake is decorated with temples and tombs. It is not alone. The victory of our place has made the temple look brand-new. -Cai Yuanpei, Wang Yue Temple in West Lake, Hangzhou * * * Knowing that Xu Ruzi's predecessor should be Jiufanggao-Zhang gave Xu Beihong a gift to open up the capital city and expel the Dutch for a thousand years. An old friend of 20 years, it is hard to find a river full of beautiful scenery. At nine o'clock, the smoke rises and the crane returns to China Station. You have to worry about the cold-Yu Dafu is holding Xu Zhimo's arm. Mr. Shi, his private school teacher, is a very old-school pedant, and Xiaolan hates him. ※. One day, Xiaolan went to feed the housebird, dug a deep hole in the brick wall, fed the housebird and sent it back to the hole, blocked it with bricks to prevent it from flying away. Later, when Mr. Shi found out, he threw the domestic bird to death, sent it back to the hole to block it, and also typed a book on the wall: fine feather bird brick, dead. When Xiaolan went to feed the house bird again, she found it was dead. I was wondering when I suddenly saw a couplet on the wall. He decided that it was Mr. Shi, so he continued to write a couplet: Mr. Shi, a coarse-haired animal. Mr. Shi was greatly annoyed when he saw it. He felt that Xiaolan should not insult the teacher, so he motioned to Xiaolan. I saw Xiao Lan calmly explain, "I wrote it according to my husband's first couplet. If there is fineness, there must be roughness; Feather must have hair; Where there is a home, there must be a wild place; Where there are birds, there must be beasts; Where there are bricks, there must be stones; After, there must be first; Where there is death, there is death. So, I wrote Mr. Rough Stone. If it should not be written like this, please rewrite it. " Teacher Shi twisted his beard and thought for a long time, but he didn't come up with a satisfactory bottom line. Finally, he sighed helplessly, put down his pointer and left. Ji Xiaolan is my friend. According to legend, Ji Xiaolan once went south to Hangzhou, and his friends gave a banquet to welcome him. During the dinner, as usual, even the sentences were correctly answered. Ji Xiaolan is very witty, and his friends convince him that he is an orphan in the north. Xiaolan disagreed and said, "People from the north are all over the Great Wall; Where does the man's words start? " My friend said, "I used to travel north and wrote a couplet. Everyone waved their hands." Xiaolan was dubious and asked, "Dude, is it so difficult to make sentences?" The friend said, "Just so-so." Then, I read the first part: the twin towers are faint, with seven floors in all directions. Ji Xiaolan laughed after listening and said, "They are too lazy to answer such a simple sentence, just waving their hands to show that they are right!" The friend asked inexplicably, "So, what is their bottom line?" Xiaolan said, shake your hand with one hand, your five fingers are three long and two short. After listening to it, my friend suddenly realized. According to legend, Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty visited the West Lake and met a long-lived old man in Lingyin Temple. The old man is 14 1 years old. Gan Long improvised such a couplet for the elderly: The flower is reopened, and there is a spring and autumn festival in it. This couplet contains numerical operations. The upper and lower couplets are not only antithetical in words, but also in the same way and with equal results. The "flower armor" in the first couplet refers to sixty years old; Re-opened, multiplied by two, 120 years old; Add 372 1 and add it up to 14 1 year. "Gu Xi" in the second couplet refers to seventy years old; Double celebration, twice, plus a spring and autumn period, plus one year old, just 14 1 year old. According to legend, Emperor Qianlong was good at couplets and often played people with couplets. On one occasion, he disguised himself and had a drink with Zhang Yushu in a restaurant. During the dinner, he drunkenly pointed to a singer named Ni and made an online couplet: "A girl named Ni, a great person" for Zhang Yushu to pick up. This couplet is a spelling couplet of "Miao" and "Ni", and Zhang Yushu was puzzled at the moment. Geji casually replied, "Zhuge is the boaster" and took the word "Zhu" apart. Qianlong praised it and ordered Zhang Yushu to give him three glasses of wine. Unfortunately, the wine has been finished, and only a few drops have been poured out of the pot. Geji smiled and said to Gan Long, "Use 1: 2: 3 water to cool the wine. Please give us your advice. " . The first part of the couplet not only implies the radicals of the first three words, but also is crowned with numbers, which makes you blush with embarrassment. Fortunately, a flower seller passed downstairs at this time, and Zhang Yushu had a brainwave and said, "Lilacs have a hundred heads", which was the solution for him. It is said that from then on, Emperor Qianlong no longer played with people easily with couplets. Zhu Zhishan made bad friends with Zhu Zhishan, one of the four gifted scholars in Wuzhong in Ming Dynasty. He is famous for his talent and quick thinking. Once, when he came to Hangzhou to play, people admired him, invited him, and there was an endless stream of people asking for books, which kept a gifted scholar as busy as a bee. Unexpectedly, he inadvertently offended Xu, a senior official in Hangzhou, saying that he was arrogant. One day, Xu invited three of the most talented and pretentious people in the city to attack. The three scholars were complacent and prepared. Jia Xiucai wants to strike first, but he is determined to make things difficult. He made a pair of couplets and said: Zhaibei deer stays alone, and it is not difficult to use the same rhyme for five words. Zhu Zhishan had answers, and looked at the Japanese casually: Xixi chickens crowed together, all in homonym. Seeing that Zhu Zhishan was not stumped, Scholar B staggered forward and shouted: "The boy beat the tung tree, but the tung tree did not fall, and the boy was unhappy." . It's homophonic. Zhu Zhishan thought for a moment, and said in a homonym: Magu eats mushrooms, which is really fresh. Magu is really immortal. Seeing that Zhu Zhishan has not been stumped, C Xiucai tried to create a pair of couplets: A man is half a man. It refers to the second half of the first three words, which is ingenious and contemptuous. Asked Bingji's surname with a smile, and Bingji said his surname was Zhu. Zhu Zhishan vs Japan: Mr Zhu is a bull's head. It refers to the first half of the first three words, which is both subtle coincidence and sarcastic. Hearing this, the three scholars looked at each other, tongue-tied, and had to leave despondently. Wang Xizhi's wonderful book Spring Festival couplets Wang Xizhi, a calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, moved from his hometown in Shandong to Shaoxing, Zhejiang one year. At this time, it was the end of the year, and Wang Xizhi wrote a pair of Spring Festival couplets for his family to stick on both sides of the gate. Couplets include: spring breeze, spring rain, spring scenery, new year, new year's new scene. Unexpectedly, because Wang Xizhi's calligraphy was unparalleled, it was highly respected by people at that time. As soon as this couplet was posted, it was unveiled at night. After the family told Wang Xizhi, Wang Xizhi didn't get angry, so he started writing and asked his family to post it again. It said: Polaris in the southern suburbs of Ti Ying swallowed the language, but when I saw it in the morning, it was uncovered again. But this day is New Year's Eve, and the next day is New Year's Day. Seeing that Spring Festival couplets are hung in front of every household in the neighborhood, but there is no one in front of my house, Mrs. Wang is anxious to urge her husband to find a way. Wang Xizhi thought for a moment, smiled and wrote another note. After writing, he asked his family to cut off a couplet and stick the first half on the door: it never rains but it pours, and someone does steal it at night. But when I look at it in the moonlight, I can see that this couplet is too unlucky. Although Wang Xizhi is a famous calligrapher, he can't take down this couplet full of dangerous predictions and hang it up. The thief had to sigh and slip away in the dark. At the dawn of the first day, Wang Xizhi personally went out yesterday to post a half-cut. At this time, many people are watching. When you look at it, the couplet becomes: happiness has never doubled up to now, and it never rains but it pours. Everyone saw it last night, cheering and clapping. Ingeniously wrote the golden Spring Festival couplets, which lead to the door of bamboo forest wealth. On New Year's Eve, he posted a pair of Spring Festival couplets on the door: The door faces a thousand bamboos, and the family lives in thousands of books. When the rich man saw it, he had the bamboo cut down. Jie Jin fully understood its meaning and added a sentence to each couplet: The door is as short as a thousand bamboos, and the house is as long as thousands of books. The rich man was even more annoyed and ordered the bamboo to be uprooted. Jie Jin did Sarah laugh, and added a sentence to the couplet: The door is short of thousands of bamboos, but the home is thousands of books. I was dumbfounded by the popularity. Ouyang Miaoxiu was born in a poor family when he was a teenager, and went around to make a living and study. At the age of twelve, he hurried to Xiangyang at the gate with his endorsement bag. When he saw the city gate closed, he looked up and saw an old soldier guarding the city head. He saluted and said, "Would you please open the door and let the students into the city?" The veteran dared not open the city gate illegally, but he admitted that he was a very polite and eloquent student. He stood up sympathetically and said, "Since I am a scholar, I will send you a pair of couplets. If I do it right, I will let you go to town." If you can't get it right, come in tomorrow morning. "Veteran early see through the on-off switch, late off, let the guests pass. Ouyang Xiu thought for a moment and said, "It's easy to be a couple, but difficult to be a couple. Please correct it first. " The veteran shouted, "I hope you are right! "Ouyang Xiu said with a smile," The students are right. " The veteran thought for a moment, suddenly realized, and immediately went downstairs to open the door. The original bottom line is: easy, difficult. Please do it right first. —— The above articles are selected from Collection of Ancient and Modern Couplets (Zhou, 198 1, Fujian People's Publishing House) and Collection of China Couplets Stories (Bacheng, 2002, Inner Mongolia University Press), which is a collection of bells and drums, and bells ring all night.

(Long Yu: This couplet was written during the Republic of China, satirizing the increasingly corrupt rule of five presidents. The specific explanation has been forgotten. Mountains, cities and rivers refer to the hometown of the president, their words and their names. Now the leaders have not reached the fifth generation, so we really have to wait for them to come out. ) A boat, two businessmen and 3456 sailors pulled up the 782-page canopy and went down to Jiujiang.

Explanation: There is a place name "Cenxi" in Guangxi, and some people split it into couplets: the landscape of Cenxi explains: some people split "good, good, good, good" into the following couplets: a good woman was born, so I asked who could match the explanation at the door: Clear a lonely scholar, write a "homophonic" couplet on the day of first frost: frost has frosted first, children are insufficient. During the dinner, someone made a couplet with "homophonic". No one can compare it: Xia Dayu, Ni, Du Fu and Liu Xiyu explained: In the early years of the Republic of China, someone made a couplet with "spelling", which made people puzzled: What is evening? It has been explained for two nights: when Su Dongpo was in charge of Hangzhou, one day he went to visit the West Lake with friends and a singer. The first part: Tour the West Lake, carry the tin pot, drop the tin pot on the West Lake, and call it the tin pot. Content abstract: During the Guangxu period in the late Qing Dynasty, Jiang, the magistrate of Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, stood up for his words and was killed by foreign priests, which angered the whole country. Jiang, a celebrity in Beijing, held a memorial service for Jiangzhi County in Taoranting (also known as Jiangting). At that time, someone made a couplet, but unfortunately no one could continue it: couplet: Jiang Memorial Hall in Jiangting County, Jiangxi Province. Description: Sichuan Yi people live in Daliangshan, Xiaoliangshan, and the area of Daliangshan is much smaller than Xiaoliangshan, so the locals made a couplet for this: Daliangshan is small, Xiaoliangshan is big, and both mountains and hills are beautiful rivers and mountains. Caption: During the light years of the Qing Dynasty, there was a popular saying: couplets are a literati in this world. Qianzi, Wuzi and Wuzi in the first couplet all have the meaning of "black", and in azimuth, "black" represents the color of the north. However, Guizhou Province, located at the southernmost tip of China, is named after the black color of the main north. Why? In the face of such couplets, it is very difficult to ask the workers to answer correctly and stably. The first part: The province is called Guizhou Province, the river is called Wujiang River, and the god is called Black God. Why is it close to the south, but it occupies the positive color of the north? Commentary: Huang Tingjian, a great poet and calligrapher in the Northern Song Dynasty, left Jiangzhou (now Jiujiang) for Suzhou and Hangzhou by boat when he was a teenager. The boatman always heard that he was a local genius, so he tried to sing the first couplet to test his talent. Huang meditated again, but still didn't think it right: the first couplet: driving a flat boat, swinging two oars, supporting three tents, riding in all directions, carrying five or five passengers, crossing Qilitan and arriving at Bali Lake. In the face of Wang Anshi's three sentences, Su Dongpo, though a wizard, thought for a long time and thought that he could not match. The first couplet: spring and August in a year, and spring and autumn in the world. Because the year of the league is exactly in August, and the spring is in the first month and the second month, there is this league. The second link: Qili Shantang, three and a half miles to Bantang.

The third link: Tiecheng West, three treasures of gold and silver mountains. Runzhou, now Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province, was called Tiecheng in ancient times, adjacent to the Yangtze River. There are Jinshan, Yinshan (also known as Jiao Shan) and Yushan (commonly known as Beigushan), and there are Buddhist temples and monasteries on the mountain. Commentary: There is a talented woman named Baihua in Songgui Village, Yunan County, Guangdong Province. She once published the first couplet, using two place names, Chang 'an and Dong 'an, and Pan An and Xie 'an. The last two sentences are very aptly borrowed from Confucius' famous words in The Analects of Confucius, but they are still absolute until today. She went out to ask for online connection again, and no one could be right. Part I: I live in Chang 'an and work as an official in Dong 'an. I am better than Pan An, and I am better than Xie An. I train myself for safety, and I train myself for people's safety. The second part: the hive is knotted, and the wind blows the maple leaf to cover the maple door.
