1. Once upon a time, there was a young master who used to eat, drink, and be merry. He spent all his father's legacy, and near the end of the year, he didn't even have any firewood. On New Year's Eve, the poor young master wrote a couplet to laugh at himself and posted it at the door: "Be frugal and spend the indifferent year."
After reading it, an old pedant in Murakami sighed deeply, adding one word to each couplet, which became: "Do frugal things early, and avoid the indifferent year."
2. Once upon a time, there was a rich man who planned to open a hotel, so he paid three cents for a new shop couplet. A scholar went to apply. The rich man said, "The couplets should praise me for my good wine, acetic acid, pig fat and prosperous people. There are no mice in the shop."
With a stroke of his pen, the scholar quickly wrote:
The first part is: pigs are as big as mountains, and mice are dead.
the bottom line is: the wine-making jar is good, which makes the vinegar jar sour.
the horizontal approval is: more people, less illness, and wealth.
After the scholar finished writing, he shook his head and read the couplets as follows:
"Raising pigs is as big as a mountain mouse, and the head is dead."
"Brewing vats are good for making vinegar, and the altar is sour."
"Many people are ill, but few people have wealth."
3. Teacher Guo Wen explained couplets on the stage, for example, saying, "In the past, a newspaper publicly asked for a copy of' Nantong North Tongzhou North and South Tongzhou North and South Tongzhou Connect North and South'. As a result, many letters were submitted, and one sentence was very correct, that is,' Dongdangpu West Pawnshop East and West Pawnshops are things'." At this time, a naughty student suddenly shouted, "Boys and girls, boys and girls, boys and girls."
4. Li Tiaoyuan, a writer in the Qing Dynasty, was quick-witted when he was a child. When he saw him scratching during a lecture, his teacher sarcastically said, "Scratch, scratch, scratch, scratch, scratch, scratch." Li was very angry when he heard this. He turned his eyes and said casually, "Life and death, death and life, life and death, death and life, and death and life. Sir dies first, sir dies first." Mr. Wang teased the students and was insulted by them. Instead of being annoyed, he praised them in public.
5. A gentleman surnamed Shi was giving a lecture when he saw a hen pecking at the school gate. When he threw a brick, he killed the chicken, and all the students were dumbfounded. Not only did Mr. Wang have no pity, but he made an online couplet for students to say, "Fine feather poultry bricks die." The little master of the hen is also studying in the school. When he saw that Mr. Wang killed the hen for no reason, he was very angry. He made the following couplet: "Mr. Shi, a coarse-haired beast." Neat and strict, impeccable, Mr. bring disgrace to oneself, flushed and inconvenient to attack.
6. A scholar went up the mountain to play and accidentally got lost. Seeing a load of firewood woodcutter, he hurried forward to ask. Seeing that he was a scholar, the woodcutter said, "You are a scholar. How about I write a couplet for you?" The scholar thought, "Can the woodcutter's couplets not be right?" He said, "Please come out of the first couplet." The woodcutter pointed with his hand and said, "This wood is from Chaishan Mountain." The scholar didn't think it was right, so he followed the woodcutter slowly. When I walked to the foot of the mountain and saw the village, it was already dusk and smoke was curling up. The scholar had a brainwave and got the bottom line. Immediately said: "Because of the fire, there are many smoke in the evening."
7. In the past, after death, monks were asked to do Dojo, recite scriptures and praise virtues, and turn over the dead. Some people wrote a couplet on this matter to show their opposition: after the confession, they can live beyond life. Is Yan afraid of monks? Paper money can redeem life, and it is clear that Bodhisattva is a corrupt official!
8. A scholar's door faces the bamboo garden of a rich family, so he posted a couplet on the door: the door faces a thousand bamboo poles, and the family keeps thousands of books. When the rich man saw it, he cut all the bamboos. This man added one word to each couplet, saying: The door is short to a thousand sticks and bamboo, and the house is long to thousands of books. As soon as the rich man saw it, he simply dug up the bamboo by the roots, and this person added another word, for: the door is short of bamboo, and the family has it in thousands of books.
1. Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, loved calligraphy couplets, but every time he just posted them, they were stolen by others. On New Year's Eve, he came up with a clever way to prevent "thieves": posting such a couplet on the door:
It never rains but it pours
When anyone steals them, they all shake their heads and leave. In the early morning of the first day of junior high school, Wang Xizhi continued three characters at the end of the couplet, which became a brand-new masterpiece:
Happiness never comes twice until today;
It never rains but it pours last night;
The legendary "skill" is obviously not credible-because the first Spring Festival couplets did not appear until the Five Dynasties. But the story is very interesting, and the couplets are also artistic, which is worth a reward.
2. Wang Yucheng, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, was poor when he was a child, and often helped adults to grind noodles after school. At the age of 12, a tout asked him to make a couplet on the topic of grinding noodles. Wang Yucheng immediately said,
But it's too late to take care of your heart.
When the local satrap gave a banquet, he made an impromptu remark:
A parrot can talk like a phoenix.
The guests were full of answers, and the news spread the next day. When Wang Yucheng knew this, he immediately said the following sentence:
Spiders are not as clever as silkworms
3. Lv Mengzheng, a Song Dynasty man, was indignant at the serious inequality between the rich and the poor at that time. One Spring Festival, a poor man asked him to write a pair of Spring Festival couplets. Lu wrote:
2345
6789
banners: North and South
Spring Festival couplets attracted countless people to watch. Everyone began to feel that it was "strange" and then called it "wonderful". The beauty of this pair of Spring Festival couplets lies in its external meaning: the first couplet lacks one and the second couplet lacks ten, which is the homonym of "lack of clothes and food": the horizontal criticism of "North and South" means "nothing". The author uses a unique rhetorical device to describe the plight of the poor.
4. Yan Shu, a poet in the Song Dynasty, took a nap in daming temple when passing by Yangzhou. He happened to see a poem written on the wall was very good. After interrogation, he knew that the author was a local Wang Qi, so he invited Wang to have dinner with him. After dinner, they were walking by the pool. It was the end of spring when the flowers were falling everywhere. Yan Shu said, "Sometimes I think of a good sentence. For example, I once made such a sentence:' I can't help but fall', and I haven't come up with the next couplet yet." Wang Qi replied, "I've known Yan for a long time." Soon, this couplet was written by Yan Shu in his word "Huanxisha? A new word, a glass of wine, became a famous sentence through the ages.
5. Kou Zhun, a famous figure in the Northern Song Dynasty, toured the suburbs with all his friends, and immediately made a sentence to get it right:
The underwater moon is the sky moon
The friends didn't get anything right, and Yang Danian just arrived, saying:
People are in front of him
All the friends cheered in unison.
6. Liu Gong, a poet of the Song Dynasty, was kind to his father, and Wang Anshi made a sentence to test it:
Three generations of Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties
Liu Dui said:
Four poems on elegance
Wang Anshi clapped his hands and applauded: "This heaven and earth are perfect!" The beauty of antithesis is that it sums up "ode to elegance" with "four poems": because "elegance" in The Book of Songs can be divided into "elegance" and "elegance", and when combined with "wind" and "ode", it just becomes "four poems".
7. Mei Yaochen is famous for his poems, but he can't be reused after 3 years of ups and downs. In his later years, he was invited by Ouyang Xiu to participate in the compilation of the Book of the Tang Dynasty. After the manuscript was written, it was not presented to the emperor, and Mei died, which made the literati lament. Previously, when Mei Yaochen was ordered to write the Book of the Tang Dynasty, he once said to his wife, Diao:
My book writing can also be described as a monkey in a cloth bag.
Diao smiled:
You are an official, but what's the difference?
Although it is a daily conversation between husband and wife, it naturally becomes a couplet, and everyone hears it.
8. Su Shi (No.Dongpo) and Huang Tingjian were playing chess in Matsushita. When a gust of wind blew, pine nuts fell off the chessboard. Dongpo immediately made a sentence:
Matsushita Weiqi, and every time pine nuts fell with chess pieces, Huang Tingjian said:
Liu Bian fished, and willow silk was often hung with fishing line
9. Su Shi always relied on talent and pride, and Prime Minister Wang An. August is another leap month, so Wang Anshi asked Su Shi to answer correctly on this topic:
One year, two spring months, two spring months, and two spring and autumn months on earth
Su Shi struggled for many days, but he could not answer correctly. It wasn't until hundreds of years later that an anonymous person reluctantly got out of the bottom line (wide pair):
Sixty-year-old flowers and flowers meet again in the world on Sunday
On the 1th and 1st, Su Dongpo invited Huang Tingjian to visit his family. Huang went to the door, and Sue was busy going out to meet him, so they started talking under the willow tree by the door. Su Xiaomei, who was catching a slug at the window, said in a playful way:
Brother invited Shuangyue outside the door
Su Dongpo smiled and said:
Little sister caught a half wind at the window
Press: "Shuangyue" means "friend" and "half wind" means "slug".
11. One evening, Su Dongpo said to Su Xiaomei, "I'm going out for the first time. Please spend the whole night on the second part." Then he said,
The water fairy holds jade hairpin, but her voice is slow in front of the wind.
Su Xiaomei struggled for a long time and could not answer it. Because "Water Fairy", "jade hairpin" and "Slow Voice" are all epigraph names, it is really very difficult to draw a scene at the same time. While I was searching for my stomach, I suddenly saw the maid delivering food and wine at the bottom of the moonlight. Su Xiaomei had a brainwave and made a couplet:
Yumeiren wore Hong Xiuxie, and Bu Bujiao was attracted under the moon.
Press: "Yumeiren", "Hong Xiuxie" and "Bu Bujiao" are also epigrams.
12. During his tenure in Hangzhou, Su Dongpo often traveled to the mountains to enjoy the water. One day, when traveling in casual clothes to Mo Qian Shan, he came to the temple to relax. When the old man in the temple saw his simple clothes, he was regarded as an ordinary tourist and said coldly, "Sit down!" He shouted to the Taoist boy, "Tea!" During the conversation, the Taoist priest found that the visitor was quite knowledgeable, so he went into the wing to talk and said, "Please sit down!" He also called Daotong: "To tea!" When he finally learned that the visitor was Su Dongpo, the old Taoist bowed and asked him to sit in the living room! . Entering the living room, the Taoist priest bowed down and said, "Please sit up!" He also ordered the Taoist boy: "To the fragrant tea!" When leaving, the Taoist repeatedly asked Dongpo to leave "Mo Bao". Dongpo smiled and wrote a couplet:
Sit down, please sit down, please sit on the table
Tea, tea and incense
After reading it, I feel ashamed.
13. Fo Yin and Su Dongpo, monks of Jinshan Temple, have always been friendly, and they often play jokes on each other when they meet. One evening, they were boating on the Yangtze River. The boat was light and windy, and they drank wine on the moon. After three rounds of drinking, Fo Yin asked Dongpo for a sentence, and Dongpo pointed to the riverbank, smiling without a word. Fo Yin followed the hope, but he saw a farmer returning to the village with a hoe on the shore, and a yellow dog behind him was walking and gnawing a piece of leftover bone. Fo Yin had an epiphany on Dongpo, but he laughed and threw a big cattail leaf fan with Dongpo's poem in his hand into the water. The two understood each other and smiled at each other. It turns out that they made a delicate and humorous pun "dumb couplet" with "body language":
Dogs gnaw on the bones of the river (monks) (Dongpo makes a sentence)
Poems of the water flowing on Dongpo (corpses) (Fo Yin's antithesis)
14. One day, Fo Yin talked about Buddhism to Dongpo, and Su Xiaomei, who was lying behind the curtain, saw Fo Yin talking about Buddhism wonderfully. Clear voice laughed when Dongpo took a look at it. The first part was:
Man was once a monk, but man can become a Buddha.
Dongpo gave the first part to Fo Yin, and Fo Yin made the second part after thinking for a moment:
Women are humble as handmaiden, and women can also be called slaves.
This is a pair of "word analysis couplets", which is very clever.
15. It is said that Liang Hao, a poet of the Song Dynasty, failed in the exam many times, but he still kept on studying hard and finally won the top prize at the age of 82. In the thank-you note to the emperor, Liang Hao attached a humorous couplet:
Bai Shou was poor, Fu Sheng was eight years old
Qingyun got the road, and Tai Gong was two years old
This couplet used two historical allusions: Fu Sheng, who taught Shangshu in the Han Dynasty, was 9 years old when he became famous, and Jiang Shang (Tai Gong) was 8 years old when he assisted Zhou Wenwang. It is very appropriate for the author to express his feelings of being old and successful.
16. Song Dynasty poet Hong Pingzhai likes to use the word "just" in his articles. One year, he wrote to the emperor to impeach the prime minister of the current dynasty for taking power and taking bribes. There was a sentence in the throne: "Taking power and taking bribes, relying on the situation to influence". As a result, not only did he fail to "bring down" the prime minister, but he was jealous by the prime minister and stayed idle for ten years. Hong Pingzhai was so angry that he wrote a couplet on his door:
He didn't get the power of "Zhi Hu"
Just because he was idle for ten years
17. You Mao, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, had a friendly relationship with Yang Wanli. During Chunxi's reign, Yang Ren's secretary, especially Taichangqing, often bowed his head and didn't see his head. They are humorous and like to play jokes on each other. When we met once, you said to Yang: I want you to make a couplet with a sentence
Yang for me
Yang Wanli replied:
"Yang for me" and "Wu for people" are both sentences in the pre-Qin classics, and the two poets skillfully cited them as conjunctions, while "You" and "Yang" were used as couplets. Such a joint sentence really needs to be learned to "bottom".
18. According to legend, Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, visited Mayuan, and Zhu Di (his fourth son) and Zhu Yunwen (his eldest grandson) served together. Mao made a sentence:
The wind blows a thousand lines in the ponytail
Zhu Yunwen said:
Rain sprinkles a blanket of wool
Mao thought it was "weak". Zhu Di said to him:
Rizhao Long Lin Wandianjin
The latter two sentences are much more vigorous than the previous one. Later, Zhu Di took the place of Zhu Yunwen and moved the capital from Nanjing to Beijing. Perhaps "Ma Yuan's response" has shown that the emperor's grandson is no match for the prince.
19. When Xu Xi was young, he became an official. When he was honored to his hometown, the local officials led the students to meet him in the suburbs. The students were disrespectful because they were not from a subject. The local officials were very angry and scolded the students:
Breaking pomegranate, many sour seeds in the red gate
"sour seeds" were taunts to the sour scholars present. You can't be right for a long time. Xu Xidai replied:
When he bit open Ginkgo biloba, an adult in white clothes was shocked by all the students, so he pleaded guilty
2. In the Ming Dynasty, Gao Zecheng had a reputation as a "child prodigy". One day when he was seven years old, Gao Zecheng came home from the school in a green robe, and he met the neighbors of the official residence in Shangshu. Shangshu drama was sincere: <
