Maybe it's hard for me to avoid customs, especially my lack of knowledge. Pointing out the storm in a small blog seems frivolous and far-fetched. However, I often see some comments on couplets, intentionally or unintentionally turning couplets into the art of writing, and the knowledge of writing seems to be incomplete, so I have some feelings in my life and occasionally make fun of a few words. Although people speak softly, they are not ignorant.
Mencius said, "You can't do it", while people said, "You can't do it." Fold the branches for the old man, saying that you can't, not for you, you must not. This teahouse is probably to the taste of passers-by and neighbors. Although it may not be eye-catching, it may moisten the throat.
The difference between calligraphers and writers, sculptors and sculptors is sometimes unclear, as is the different appreciation of couplets. Without the identification of "learning roots", they can be said that he is my brother.
Beer is wine, foreign wine is wine, and red wine and white wine are also wine. Everyone has his own taste. Sometimes wine is good wine, and sometimes good wine is good wine. It depends on people's tastes. Everyone except advertisers knows that there should be a standard. According to this standard, it is either wine or good wine.
It's wonderful to see some posts about the survival of couplets. The survival of couplets needs skill and novelty, but this skill innovation needs foundation and direction. These two are really not friends, husband and wife, but mother and son. I wonder if this metaphor is appropriate. ........
What are the couplets required by the present era? Tell me an interesting thing.
Last year, I wrote a couplet entitled Han Yu:
Dao Ji people's livelihood, promoted by Confucianism, once served by Taishan. Chaoshan blue customs has an official voice, not a book style;
Following the pre-Qin period, Wen started the Middle Ages and dared to be a teacher in the world. Its achievement is to link the past with the future, and it is unique in the Spring and Autumn Period.
A friend scoffed and helped me polish it with a stroke of a pen:
Carry forward Confucianism, help people's livelihood and serve Mount Tai. There is a political voice in Yuanzhou, a land of Chaoshan, and a great book style;
Following the pre-Qin period, Wen started the Middle Ages and dared to be a teacher in the world. Its achievement is to link the past with the future, and it is unique in the Spring and Autumn Period.
I said he was fooling around, but he refused, saying he could publish it if he changed it. Later, he took the liberty of publishing couplets. I can't believe that anyone would like this man to be an intellectual by profession. He has a lot of books. That "big book sail" must be a symptom of a fashionable infectious disease One style of writing has become a fashion and habit, and another style of writing has naturally become an alternative.
In the network, there is actually a learning stage and a transformation process. In the learning stage, you need to imitate, and then you need to change, to light skills and focus on content, and write links with your own experience and thinking.
I have an experience: in the early days, writing couplets, especially historical couplets of people, was mostly about pondering skills, but it was still stretched. In the future, I gradually liberated the understanding of the object in the first place, as if I wanted to see through the object to find my feelings. When the feeling is understood, the couplet has almost become, and only this feeling sprouts in my heart. The artistic level is not necessarily high, but it is your own mood and thinking, leaving your own ideological brand, which is more delicious than parroting.
Looking back at this Han Yu, the characters are clearly written, but they have nothing of their own. They just put out the historical evaluation of the characters according to the requirements of couplets. Just like opening a bookstore, all kinds of books are written by others. The boss just sorted them on the table, and the ownership seems to be his.
Writing couplets with your heart is your own practice.
Tieliu Xijiang bamboo raft rafting
Borrow a leaf boat to see the water and hold the mountain, and the mountain holds the water;
Listen to a few herons and forget who I am. (Murong Boer)
This is a couplet I have seen in China Film before. I once said that mountains and rivers have no temperament, and the temperament of tourists is the temperament of mountains and rivers. A famous scholar (Xiong Dongao) said: The purpose of uniting families is to pay attention to moral cultivation. I think knowledge leads to contacts, and moral cultivation leads to good contacts.
