Matters needing attention in making couplets:
1, words are equal and sentences are consistent. In addition to deliberately leaving a place for a word to achieve a certain effect, the number of words in the upper and lower couplets must be the same, neither more nor less.
2. Parts of speech should be relative and in the same position.
Generally called "virtual to virtual, real to real", it is equivalent to modern Chinese noun to noun, verb to verb, adjective to adjective, quantifier to quantifier, adverb to adverb, and relational words must be in the same position.
3, to be level and plain, harmonious tone.
The level tone of couplets is "flat and flat", that is, if the rhyme foot of the upper couplet is flat, then the rhyme foot of the lower couplet will end in a flat voice, which is called "flat and flat". As for couplets, the phenomenon of "flat and flat" occasionally occurs, but it should be regarded as a change in style, rather than a common practice of couplets.
4. Be content-related, from top to bottom.
The meaning of the upper and lower couplet should be related to each other and cannot be repeated.
Extended data:
Gong Yu's story of moving mountains: Taihang Mountain and Wuwangshan Mountain, which are 700 miles high in Fiona Fang, were originally in the south of Jizhou and north of the north bank of the Yellow River. There is a man named Gong Yu at the foot of the North Mountain. He is almost 90 years old and lives directly opposite the mountain.
He suffers from the traffic jam in the northern part of the mountain area, so he has to make a detour when he comes out or goes in. He called the whole family to discuss and said, "I'll try my best to level the steep mountain with you, so that the road will go all the way to the south of Yuzhou and reach the south bank of Hanshui River, okay?" Everyone agreed. His wife questioned him and said, "With your strength, even Quiff Mountain can't be leveled. What can you do with Taihang and Wu Wang?
Besides, where are the excavated soil and stones? They said, "Throw it on the edge of Bohai Sea, to the north of Tibetan soil." So Gong Yu led three children and grandchildren who could carry the burden up the mountain, chiseled stones and dug dirt, and transported them to the Bohai Sea with a dustpan. Neighbor Shi Jing's widow has an orphan, only seven or eight years old, skipping to help him. Winter and summer change seasons, and you can go back and forth once.
The wise man in Hequ laughed at the foolish old man and stopped him from doing so, saying, "You are so stupid! With your remaining years and strength, you can't even move a grass on the mountain. What can you do with mud and stones? " Gong Yu of Beishan sighed and said, "Your thoughts are so stubborn that you can't begin to understand, even orphans and widows can't compare with you. Even if I die, I still have a son;
Son gives birth to grandson, grandson gives birth to son; A son has a son and a son has a grandson; Children and grandchildren are endless, but mountains do not increase. Are you afraid of rough digging? "He knows that there is nothing to answer. The mountain god who caught the snake heard about it, fearing that he would dig endlessly and report to the Emperor of Heaven.
The emperor was moved by Yugong's sincerity. He ordered the two sons of Hercules Kwae to move two mountains, one in the east of Shuofang and the other in the south of Yongzhou. From then on, from the south of Jizhou to the south bank of Hanshui River, there was no mountain barrier.
