Bottom line: top-heavy, shallow roots.
-the first part of the book has been prompted, it must be like this. Couplets pay attention to six metrical patterns. From the level and level, on the contrary:
The first couplet: the mouth is thick and the stomach is flat, that is, flat.
Bottom line: top-heavy, shallow and flat: flat and flat-flat and flat-flat and flat of the top line and bottom line are opposite.
Secondly, in terms of the same rhythm,
The first part: the tip of the mouth is thick and the belly is empty, which can be read as: the tip of the mouth/the thickness of the skin/the belly is empty, which is the rhythm of 2+2+3;
Bottom line: heavy head/light feet/light feet is also the rhythm of 2+2+3, so the rhythm is the same.
Third, look at the part of speech.
The first part: the mouth is thick and the stomach is empty. A thick mouth and an empty stomach are also subject-predicate phrases.
Bottom line: "Top-heavy and light-footed" is also a subject-predicate phrase, and "Light-footed" is also a subject-predicate phrase. It is worth noting that there are also locative words in the upper and lower couplets, such as "zhong" with an empty stomach and "xia" with light feet, which are very neat.
Fourthly, according to the fact that the last word in couplets is usually a conjunction, it is certain that the person who wrote this question was careless. Strictly speaking, couplets are upside down, and the correct arrangement is:
Part I: Reed on the wall, top-heavy, shallow roots.
Bottom line: bamboo shoots in the mountains have a thick mouth and an empty stomach.
