The elegiac couplet on the wreath is the condensation of grief and mourning for the deceased, bearing people's endless yearning for the deceased and respect for the living. When writing elegiac couplets, we should think deeply about the life track, personal characteristics and contributions of the deceased, as well as the gratitude and admiration of the giver for the deceased. The content and style of elegiac couplet should also meet the requirements of specific occasions and times, so as to make it more contemporary and modern.
There is no doubt that the object of concern of the elegiac couplet is people first. The elegiac couplet inherits the aesthetic concept of China's traditional poetry, which is people-oriented and noumenon-centered, emphasizes the influence of inner feelings, and pays attention to various reasons of society and life, in order to seek truth, goodness and beauty.
Matters needing attention
The elegiac couplet is a special kind of couplet, which is specially used to mourn the dead. Therefore, writing elegiac couplets should not only be sincere, but also pay attention to the writing characteristics of elegiac couplets.
The era of elegiac couplet. The elegiac couplet is a carrier that reflects social life and expresses people's thoughts and feelings. Therefore, with the changes of the times, the content of the elegiac couplet will change accordingly, such as: "The precious color is silent, the string column is absolutely silent, and the mirror on the Yao platform is empty." This is an elegiac couplet for husbands to mourn their wives in the old days, but it is a bit old-fashioned in modern times.
The pertinence of elegiac couplet. Being an elegiac couplet has a strong pertinence, which should conform to the status, identity, sentiment and achievements of the deceased, and even the thoughts and feelings here and now should conform to things and occasions. The elegiac couplet cannot be interchanged and universal, which should be the writing soul of elegiac couplet.
For example, Ding Ling cuts the willow spring breeze arm in arm, and when the festival is poor, a song of mulberry stems spreads widely and condenses dust, hurting the snowy night. Women have been shining on the mountains for a hundred years, and even the universal scope of some "universal couplets" is very limited.
