Wang Xizhi, the great calligrapher of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, liked to call couplets, but they were stolen every time he posted them. On New Year's Eve one year, he came up with a way to prevent "thieves" Magical method: Post a couplet like this on the door lintel:
Unparalleled blessings come
Misfortunes never come singly
When those who stole the couplet came to the Wang residence and saw it, they all shook their heads. go. In the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Xizhi continued three characters at the end of the upper and lower couplets, creating a masterpiece with full meaning:
Unparalleled blessings have come to this day
Misfortune never comes alone last night
The "ability" of this legend is obviously not credible - because the first couplets did not appear until the fifth generation. But the story is very interesting and the couplets are also artistic and well worth a visit.

But take what is right in your heart
There is no need to worry about it now
When the local prefect held a banquet, he improvised a sentence to challenge the answer:

Although spiders are not as clever as silkworms

Lu Meng, a native of Song Dynasty, was facing the serious inequality between rich and poor at that time. The phenomenon is indignant. During the Spring Festival one year, a poor man asked him to write a couplet for him. Lu wrote:
Two, three, four, five
Six, seven, eight, nine
Horizontal Er: North and South
After the Spring Festival couplets were posted, they attracted countless people to watch. Everyone first thought it was "weird" and then called it "wonderful". The beauty of this Spring Festival couplet lies in its "meaning of connecting with others": the first couplet lacks "one" and the second couplet lacks "ten", which is the homophony of "lack of food and clothing": the horizontal comment of "north and south" means "nothing" ". The author uses unique rhetorical techniques to describe the embarrassment of poor people's existence.

Yan Shu, a poet from the Song Dynasty, took a rest in the Daming Temple when passing by Yangzhou. He accidentally saw a very good poem written on the wall.

It was the end of spring when everything was falling red. Yan Shu said: "Sometimes I think of a good sentence. For example, I once said this: 'There is no choice but the flowers fall.'

A New Word for a Cup of Wine", and it became an eternal famous line.

Mei Yaochen is famous for his poems, but he has been up and down for thirty years and cannot be reused. In his later years, he was invited by Ouyang Xiu to participate in the compilation of "Book of Tang". After completing the manuscript, Mei died of illness before it was submitted to the emperor. The scholar-bureaucrats all lamented. When Mei Yaochen was ordered to compile the "Book of Tang Dynasty" earlier, he once said to his wife Diao:
My compilation of books can also be said to be like a hozen entering a cloth bag
Diao smiled and said:
If you are an official, how is it different from a catfish on a bamboo pole?
Although it is a daily conversation between husband and wife, it forms a natural connection, and everyone who hears it says it is a good couple.

Su Shi (named Dongpo) and Huang Tingjian were playing chess under a pine tree. A gust of wind blew and the pine nuts fell off the chessboard. Dongpo immediately said:
Panasonic Go, the pine pieces fall with the chess pieces every time
Huang Tingjian said:
Fishing by the willow, the willow silk is often hung with the fishing line

Su Shi has always been proud of his talent. Prime Minister Wang Anshi valued Su's talent and learning, but felt that his arrogance should be killed. One year, the first month and the twelfth month both had the beginning of spring, and August was a leap month. Wang Anshi took this as his title The first couplet asked Su Shi to give the correct answer:
One year, two springs and two months of August, there are two springs and autumns in the world
Su Shi thought hard for many days, but finally could not answer it. It was not until hundreds of years later that an unknown person reluctantly wrote the second couplet (wide pair):
Sixty-year-olds will be around again, and they will meet again in the world

< p>One day, Su Dongpo invited Huang Tingjian to his home as a guest. When Huang arrived at the door, Su hurriedly went out to greet him, and the two started chatting under the willow tree next to the door. Su Xiaomei, who was catching lice in front of the window, jokingly said when she saw this scene:Brother invites Shuangyue outside the door
Su Dongpo smiled and said:
Little sister Catching Banfeng in front of the window
Note: "Shuangyue" refers to "friend", and "Banfeng" ("wind" in traditional Chinese is "风") refers to "lice".
11.
One evening, Su Dongpo said to Su Xiaomei: "I am going to write the first couplet, and please spend a night working on the second couplet." Then he said:
The water fairy holds a jade hairpin and blows slowly in front of the wind
Su Xiaomei thought hard for a long time and couldn't answer it. Because "Water Fairy", "Jasper Hairpin" and "Slow Sound" are all Ci Pai names, the second line must also match the Ci Pai name, and at the same time, it must describe a scene, which is indeed very difficult. While she was searching her intestines and scraping her stomach, she suddenly saw the maid bringing wine and food under the moonlight. Su Xiaomei had an idea and wrote the second couplet:
The poppy wears red embroidered shoes, and the moonlight attracts Bu Bujiao
Note: "poppy poppies", "red embroidered shoes" and "bubujiao" are also the names of word brands.

When Su Dongpo was in Hangzhou, he often went out to enjoy the mountains and rivers. One day when he was traveling to Mo Qianshan in casual clothes, he came to the temple to rest. Seeing his simple clothes, the old Taoist in the temple regarded him as an ordinary tourist and said indifferently: "Sit down!" and shouted to the Taoist boy: " Tea!" During the conversation, the Taoist noticed that the visitor was quite knowledgeable, so he invited him into the side room to talk, and said: "Please sit down!" Then he called the Taoist boy: "Tea!" When he finally learned that the visitor was Su Dongpo, he The Taoist priest bowed to him repeatedly and invited him to the living room to "sit down!". Entering the living room, the Taoist bowed and said: "Please take a seat!" He also ordered the Taoist boy: "Honor the fragrant tea!" When leaving, the Taoist repeatedly asked Dongpo to leave his "calligraphy treasure". Dongpo wrote a couplet with a smile:
Sit down, please sit down, please sit down
Tea, tea, tea
After reading, Ashamed.

The monks Foyin and Su Dongpo of Jinshan Temple have always been friendly, and they often joke with each other when they meet. One evening, the two of them were boating on the Yangtze River. The boat was light and the wind was light, and they drank wine against the moon. They were very happy. After drinking for three rounds, Foyin asked Dongpo for a sentence. Dongpo pointed to the river bank and smiled without saying a word. Foyin went as he expected, only to see a farmer on the bank returning to the village with a hoe. Behind him, a yellow dog was walking and gnawing on a leftover bone. Foyin suddenly realized Dongpo's meaning, laughed, and threw a big cattail leaf fan with Dongpo's poems in his hand into the water. The two kept their intentions to each other secret, looking at each other and smiling. It turned out that the two of them used "body language" to create an exquisite and humorous pun "dumb couplet":
The dog gnawed the (monk) bone on the river (Dongpo's sentence)
The water flow Dongpo's Poetry (Corpse) (Couplet of Buddha's Seal)
14.
One day, Foyin was talking about Buddhism to Dongpo. Su Xiaomei, who was lying behind the curtain, saw Foyin's hand. The Buddhist teachings were so miraculous that I really wanted to "silence" the monk, so I wrote a couplet and asked the maid to take it out and give it to Su Dongpo. Dongpo took it and laughed loudly when he saw it. The first couplet read:
A man once was a monk, but no one can become a Buddha
Dongpo handed the first couplet to the Buddha's seal. Yin thought for a moment and then came up with the second couplet:
A woman is humbled as a maid, but a woman can also be called a slave
This is a "word analysis couplet", which is very clever.

It is said that Liang Hao (Yi Zuohao) of the Song Dynasty failed the exam many times, but he still did not give up and studied hard, and finally won the first prize at the age of 82.
In his letter of thanks to the emperor, Liang Hao attached a very humorous couplet:
The white head is poor and the young man is eight years old
The Qingyun is lucky, and there are many Taigong Er Year
This couplet uses two historical allusions: Fu Sheng, who taught "Shang Shu" in the Han Dynasty, was 90 years old when he became famous, and Jiang Shang (Tai Gong) was eighty years old when he assisted King Wen of Zhou. The author uses this to express his feelings of success in his old age, which is very appropriate.
16.
Hong Pingzhai from the Song Dynasty liked to use the word "just" in his articles. One year, he wrote a letter to the emperor to impeach the prime minister of the dynasty for abusing power and accepting bribes. The memorial contained this sentence: "Exerting power and accepting bribes is just relying on the power of the situation." As a result, not only failed to "overthrow" the prime minister, but he was hated by the prime minister. It sat idle for ten years. Hong Pingzhai was so angry that he wrote a couplet on the door of his home:
I didn’t get the word "zhihu"
It was only because I had been idle for ten years

The Southern Song Dynasty poets You Miao and Yang Wanli had a friendly relationship. During the Chunxi period, Yang served as Secretary Supervisor, especially Taichang Qing, who often lowered his head but did not raise his head to see him. The two have humorous personalities and like to joke with each other. When they met one time, You said to Yang: I am using a verse from a sutra as the first couplet and ask you to write the second couplet
Yang is for me
Yang Wanli responded:
< p>Youwu Yiren"Yang is for me" and "Youwu Yiren" are both complete sentences in the pre-Qin classics. The two poets skillfully introduced them into couplets, and "You" and "Yang" "They are also their surnames respectively. Such couplets really need to be learned to "be at the bottom".
18.
It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, visited Mayuan, and Zhu Di (his fourth son) and Zhu Yunwen (his eldest grandson) served together. Taizu issued a sentence to say:
The wind blows a thousand threads from the horse's tail
Zhu Yunwen said:
The rain sprinkles a piece of wool felt
Taizu thought it was "weak". Zhu Di said to him:
The sun shines like a dragon with thousands of gold points
The latter pair of sentences is much more powerful than the previous one. Later, Zhu Di replaced Zhu Yunwen on the throne and moved the capital from Nanjing to Beijing. Perhaps the "Ma Yuan response" incident has shown that the emperor's grandson is no match for the prince.

Ming Dynasty Xu Xi started his career as an official when he was young. When he returned to his hometown, the local officials led the students to greet him in the suburbs. Since the students were not from different subjects, they were a little disrespectful. The local officials were very angry and scolded the students:
Break the pomegranate , there are many sour people in the Red Gate
"Sour people" are mocking the sour scholars present. Zhusheng can't be right for a long time. Xu Xi answered on his behalf:
Bite open the ginkgo tree, and you will see an adult in white clothes
Everyone was shocked and asked for forgiveness

In the Ming Dynasty, Gao Zecheng rarely lost his talent and was known as a "child prodigy". One day when he was seven years old, Gao Zecheng returned home from school wearing a green robe. On the way, he met a neighbor who was an official and minister. The minister said to him:
The frogs wearing green coats out of the water, with beautiful eyes looking forward to it
Zhen Zheng saw the minister wearing a red robe, and immediately replied:
It is a child who has fallen into the water. Wearing a red robe and bowing like a bow
After hearing this, the minister repeatedly exclaimed, "The descendants are to be feared." "Beautiful eyes are looking forward to the future" and "Bow down like a leaf" are classic sentences in the "Book of Songs" and "The Analects of Confucius" respectively. It does require knowledge and talent to be able to quickly quote them in response to the situation.

Famous officials in the Ming Dynasty were extremely intelligent when they were young. When a monk saw Yu Qian with his hair in a double bun, he joked:
The bull's head was so happy that it gave birth to dragon horns

The dog Never spit out ivory from his mouth

The triangle is like a drum stand
Yu Qian retorted:
As bald as a hammer

A thousand-year-old tree is used as a clothes hanger
Xie Jin then said:
The Yangtze River is used as a bathtub

Across the door are thousands of bamboos
The family has thousands of books

The door is opposite a thousand bamboo trees
The family has thousands of volumes of books

The door is opposite to the thousand bamboos and there are no bamboos
The family treasure Ten Thousand Volumes of Books Are Long
The squire had no choice but to sulk on his own.
25.
A scholar was not convinced by Xie Jin’s talent. He found Xie Jin and plausibly said a "good match":
The ox is running and the donkey is running. But a horse
A chicken can fly harder than an eagle
Xie Jin was very disgusted with such shallow people, so he smiled and said to the scholar: "I will also give a gift to Mr. Vice couplet. "
Reeds on the wall, top-heavy and shallow-rooted
Bamboo shoots in the mountains, thick skin and hollow belly

The Ming Dynasty Lu Rong was appointed as the chief envoy of Zhejiang and was friendly to Professor Chen Zhen. During a drinking session at a party, the two of them started to play with each other.
Chen Zhen was bald in his youth, and Lu Rong mocked him:
Professor Chen counted several stems of hair, but there was nothing he could do about it
Lu Rong had a beard, Chen Zhen seized on this feature and retorted:
Lords from Mainland China are covered with mustaches, why should they be like this?
The beauty of this pairing lies in the second half of each sentence: in the Zhejiang dialect, it is difficult to distinguish between "stem" and "怉" , "Shi" and "comb" are indistinguishable, and "He" and "Hu" are similar, because Shu fence? ネhawker ⅰ run onions and rush mats for fences? Urn sells ⅰ protection? Pull out sprouts ⒖ soil? Bench on onions and sprouts and pull out sprouts? But the curtain is thin! Ang vortex Yaoshu coin book faded Qiaang? Yao Qiaoshu thin B dumplings young Pang Zhongzai Che Tecnetium guilty? Scar Xie 鼍洌?
Two apes cut off the wood in the mountain, this monkey can also fight against Saw (sentence)
Chen Zhen responded and said:
A horse is stuck in the mud, how can this animal get out of the hoof (question)
Complete, two People clapped their hands and laughed. This attribute pair also uses the pun homophonic technique very cleverly, and it is more understandable than the previous pair. However, this kind of "over the top" joke is only suitable among close friends.

Tang Yin (also known as Bohu) was a famous poet and painter in the Ming Dynasty, and was known as "the most talented man in the south of the Yangtze River".

My sister-in-law swept away the messed up firewood and asked her uncle to gather it.
Zhu Zhishan said to him:
My aunt moved the broken bucket to make my aunt's hoop
This pairing constitutes a "tongue twisting couplet". The four groups of homophones (saosao, shushu, yiyi, guhoo) are divided into the first and last couplets, which make the whole couplet have a unique flavor when read.
33.
A businessman was preparing to open his business. He came to ask Tang Yin to write an auspicious couplet. Tang Yin wrote:
Business is like spring
Finance is like a source of water
The sentence is derived from Song Qi's poem "Spring is stirring on the red apricot branches", and the couplet is derived from Zhu Xi's poem "For living water comes from a source". The whole couplet perfectly describes the meaning of "prosperous business and abundant financial resources" and is a masterpiece. However, the ignorant businessman thought that Tang Yin had not fully expressed the meaning of "recruiting wealth and treasure", and begged Tang Yin to write another one. Tang was so annoyed that he simply rewrote a vulgar couplet:
The business in front of the door is like mosquitoes on a summer night, teams come in and teams go out
The copper coins in the cabinet are like autumn lice, The more they caught, the more they caught
The businessman happily took them home and posted them.

Du's poems by famous Han scholars, not Du's poems by Du Fu in the Tang Dynasty

Mencius and Wu Shuji, how can Mencius be the Mencius of Meng Ke in the state of Zou
Li Mengyang admired this man's talent and learning, and later recommended him to enter the official career.

To "challenge" him, he said: "Since I like to read, I will definitely respond to the sentence. I said the sentence above for you to answer. If you can't get it right, you should get out of the way and avoid it."
Xu Wei asked back: "What if it is right?" The grand master said casually: "Then let all the deacons stop here, and I will walk into the academy." "So the Grand Master casually took up the topic:
The Three Bachelors of South Street
Xu Wei responded immediately:
The two military gates of Dongguo
The Grand Master Upon hearing this, I felt that Nanjie was very suitable for Dong Guo and civil servants for military generals, so I had to walk to the academy.
