The Spring Festival was approaching, and Wang Xizhi wrote a couplet: "Spring breeze, spring rain, spring scenery, new year, new year, new scenery." Let the son stick to the door. Unexpectedly, as soon as it was posted, it was quietly removed. Wang Xizhi had no choice but to write another couplet: "The orioles are singing to the north, and the swallows are speaking to the south." He asked his son to post it again, but it was "stolen" by a local calligraphy enthusiast who loved his handwriting. It's almost the holiday, but the door is still empty. Wang Xizhi's wife was very anxious. Wang Xizhi thought for a moment, took the pen and ink with a smile, and wrote another couplet. After writing it, he asked his son to cut the couplets in half and paste half of them on each side: \x0d\ Blessings never come in pairs, misfortunes never come alone\x0d\ After these two "half couplets" were posted, no one came to uncover them again. At dawn on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Xizhi personally pasted the second half of the Spring Festival couplets below, and the result was:\x0d\Unparalleled good fortune has come to this day, and misfortune never comes alone. Last night\x0d\Everyone in the street saw it, and they all said it was wonderful, and this story was widely circulated. \x0d\ The story information mentioned above all comes from the Internet.

The grass and trees are still in spring\x0d\ and the meaning becomes much more positive. \x0d\ For another example, a colleague wrote a couplet that satirized the work style of the agency: \x0d\ If you have anything to do, go to the front office. If you don’t have money, don’t come to the back door. \x0d\ I changed it for him and it became: \x0d\ Whoever has money wants to go to the front office? ! I have no power, can I go through the back door? \x0d\ A question and an answer complement each other interestingly.
