In the early years of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty, Zhuang Yougong, who won the top prize, was quite good at calligraphy and couplets. One day, when the guests visited, the host played a few games of chess with them. Say that finish, the guest got up and looked at the words hanging in the room. Reading and reading, the guest had a brainwave and recited a couplet casually: "The old books are all together, the dragon doesn't sing, the tiger doesn't scream, the flowers don't smell, and the birds don't sing. Look how ridiculous this boy is;" Zhuang Yougong nodded slightly and pointed to the broken chess: "Half a game of broken chess, no wheels in the car, no saddle in the horse, no smoke in the gun and no food in the car. General Hesheng, be careful. " There is a hidden sword in the couplet. It is true that a strong general has no weak soldiers under him, but he has work in his belly. Coincidentally, it is said that Song Xiang, a gifted scholar in Jiaying, Guangdong Province in the Qing Dynasty, went to Beijing in 190 1 year to catch the exam. Before the exam, he drank and talked about poetry with friends and relatives and played chess all night. The next day, when I rushed to the examination room, I mistakenly entered the auspicious symbol and was detained by the guard. When the Prime Minister found out that the candidates were lost, he issued a semi-joint order: "Calligraphy and painting are all over the house, dragons don't sound, tigers don't scream, birds don't sound, birds don't cry, disturbing the Prime Minister, which is disgusting." When Song Xiang saw the Prime Minister playing chess, he said to himself, "A game of chess, a car without wheels, a horse without saddles, a cannon without fireworks, and a pawn without swords and guns, is ridiculous!" It is also said that there was a scribe in the Qing Dynasty who made a semi-couplet with chess: "The Grand Commander used soldiers, ordnance and chariots, and the horses fluttered and the weather was magnificent. I wish this success, and I will be worthy of it. " This semi-couplet has been signed for quite a long time and has not been signed. When Eight-Nation Alliance captured Beijing, the Western Empress Dowager and the Qing Emperor were forced to leave Beijing to take refuge in the Jehol, and Li Hongzhang was sent to make peace with the allied forces, and the "Xin Chou Treaty" was signed. The author made a comment on this and embedded the name of the tooth card in the bottom line: "The supreme is in the wild, waiting for the length to hang, venting, and arguing repeatedly." Later, thousands of people were disappointed and fell into the sky. " Reading Pai Jiu is wonderful, aiming at chess pieces, uniting people's anger! There are so-called "Zun", "Heaven", "Earth", "Ren", "He", "Long", "Short", "Wen" Wu "and" Ye "in the dental cards. It is really unique to belong to them. The couplets are neat and tidy. People also think the bottom line is better than the top line. So the connection is not vague, but combined with current events. Because it hits the drawbacks of the times, it is very popular and unforgettable.
