People are familiar with the widely circulated couplets used in commercial stores: "Business is prospering all over the world, and wealth is abundant reaching three rivers." It is different from the ancient couplets that have been followed, but it is also close to the modern couplets that have been circulated. Another example is "dragons and phoenixes present auspicious songs to celebrate the prosperous age, and harvests are abundant to celebrate peace", "the treasures are spread all over the sea, and outstanding people are everywhere in China", "the sound of firecrackers bid farewell to the old year, and the plum blossoms bloom to announce the new year" are all popular folklore in our country for many years Good Spring Festival couplets, they are still vital to this day. I can never forget the many good Spring Festival couplets I saw during the Chinese New Year in my hometown of Jingdezhen when I was a child. I still recite them and remember them freshly.
Spring couplets, as the name suggests, are used during the Spring Festival, but other couplets can be used throughout the year. For example, the ancients used Song poems to sing about autumn: "The years slowly remind people to grow old, and the scenery becomes desolate and autumn again." There are also modern people who chant autumn couplets and say, "The rainbow reflects the strong pine trees, and the golden autumn shows the youth's richness." After reading it, I feel that the artistic conception is very different. During the Cultural Revolution, people often used couplets from Mao Zedong's poems, such as "The four seas are churning, clouds and water are angry, the five continents are shaking, wind and thunder are stirring"; and "The golden monkey rises up a thousand jun sticks, and the jade universe clears thousands of miles"; it shows the historical changes of that era. Looking back at that time, people still The memory is still fresh.
Couplets with five or seven characters are mostly popular. This is closely related to the ancient poems "Five Characters" and "Seven Rhythms". Other couplets with six characters, eight characters, and nine characters are also common. In addition to the above examples, five-character couplets such as "The fertile fields are thousands of miles green, the green mountains are full of spring trees", "The ancient city is full of spring, China is full of morning light"; the six-character couplets are such as "The roc soars thousands of miles, the little dragon soars for thousands of years" (Spring Festival couplets for the Year of the Snake), "The golden rooster flutters its wings and dances, and the silver dog sings loudly" (Spring Festival couplets for the Year of the Dog); eight-character couplets such as "The six animals are prosperous and thousands of families are happy together, the harvest is plentiful and everything is renewed", "The good news of the old year is spread thousands of miles, and the spring breeze of the new year is blowing thousands of families"; The nine-character couplet is like "The spring breeze turns into rain and the south bank of the river is green, and the auspicious snow reflects the sun and the heroic city shines again." In addition, there are more refined and exquisite four-character Spring Festival couplets such as "New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve, Spring Festival", "Spring returns to the earth, full of energy in China", "Garden full of peaches and plums, a generation of romance". This couplet can also be expanded into an eleven-character spring couplet, "A generation of romantic people work hard to express their ambitions, and the garden is filled with peaches and plums competing for the best and the most beautiful heroes." It is said that the ancients once made huge couplets with more than a hundred characters, but such couplets with too many characters are not suitable for the Spring Festival after all.
In addition to Spring Festival couplets for households, there are also Spring Festival couplets for all walks of life. For example, if the school uses the link "Hard work cultivates peaches and plums all over the world, and loyal teaching leads to spring glory all over the campus"; if the enterprise uses the link, it means "The production success will open up a long-term business, and the scientific research achievements will reach a higher level". The above are all recorded by the author. There are good Spring Festival couplets scattered in urban and rural areas of our country. There are many excellent works with positive significance and appreciation value.
Since the development of my country's Spring Festival couplets, many exciting and far-reaching Spring Festival couplets have been created for people to celebrate the Spring Festival. Don't you see, "the north and south of the Yangtze River are singing brilliantly, and the Great Wall is dancing gracefully inside and outside"; "reform and opening up have added splendor, and economic construction has made great progress." In the process of reform and opening up, China's social landscape is changing with each passing day, making the annual New Year Festival more grand, joyful and auspicious. The long-term peace and stability of the country makes people living in this great country of ours even more happy and excited. It is conceivable that a strong sense of the times will inspire people's enthusiasm for labor in reform and construction. Let us celebrate the upcoming Spring Festival, another year of reform in China, and raise our arms to embrace the second spring of the 21st century. Let us splash ink, inspire words, and show off our penmanship to create more and better works full of the flavor of the times. New Year couplets.
