The restaurant asked for a poem, and the champion casually wrote a wonderful poem. Everyone began to wonder what this meant, and everyone applauded after reading it.
Every year after the end of the college entrance examination, there is a saying that the number one scholar in the college entrance examination is everywhere, but in fact, in ancient times, the number one scholar was by no means easy. At present, experts in literature and history have come to the conclusion that there are about 600 top scholars in the history of China. Among them, Tang dynasty 144, Song dynasty 120 and Ming dynasty 90. Take the Tang Dynasty as an example. In 289, among the 22 emperors, only 144 was the No.1 scholar, less than one a year, which can explain why many great poets in the Tang Dynasty failed to pass the examination of Jinshi. It is precisely because the number one scholar is rare that the people spread brilliantly, and all kinds of anecdotes continue. This issue will introduce you to the narrative of Lang Lun, the champion of the Ming Dynasty. Speaking of this narrative, it is not only well written, but also good at pairing. At that time, Lun Xuwen, who was only eight or nine years old, was discovered while peeking at Governor Chen Wu burning incense. Chen Wu made a pair of couplets: cold Confucianism, climbing dragons, climbing phoenixes and climbing osmanthus. Lun Xuwen made a couplet on the spot: three precious buddhas, sitting on the aojiang, sitting on the elephant and sitting on the lotus. Chen Wu not only released him, but also gave him money to help him finish his studies. What I want to share with you in this issue is an interesting poem by Lun Xuwen. Junior high school champion Lun Xuwen came home in rags, just as a restaurant opened, and the owner asked the new champion for poems on the spot for good luck. So Lun Xuwen casually wrote an interesting poem. At the beginning of reading this poem, he only thought the sentence was beautiful, but he didn't understand the significance of writing this poem. But after reading it carefully, he realized that there were still four words hidden in it, and everyone applauded after reading it. The whole poem is as follows: a bright moon hangs for half a day, and a lady and a talented person connect. There will be a side meeting in the lotus pond, so I won't say it if I read poetry carefully. Poetically, this is a dating poem, which is beautifully written. The first sentence of the poem "A bright moon hangs for half a day" points out the date and time, which is the so-called "after dusk at the willow tip". In the second sentence, "a lady and a talented person are related", and the metaphor of "related" shows the deep affection between a talented person and a beautiful woman. The third sentence, "A tour of Shi Hui by the lotus pond", said that the couple's dating place was by the lotus pond. The most wonderful thing is the last sentence, "read the poem carefully and don't say anything", which is about the date time. The two of them are lovers, and it goes without saying that they read poetry. Although the poem is well written, it makes sense whether it is flat or sticky. However, the restaurant still feels a little confused. At this time, someone in the crowd pointed out the beauty of this poem. There are four words hidden in the original poem: the first sentence, the moon hangs for a long time, and there is a moon in half the sky, which is actually a word. In the second sentence, the wife is a talented person, and the word "female" plus the word "child" together is a "good" word. In the third sentence, when Chi Pan was unitary, the word "unitary" was added to half of the word "pool", and together it was a word "wine". Fourth, if you read a book of poetry, you don't talk about it. There is no word "talk" next to the word "read", only a word "sell". So these four poems together mean exactly: there is good wine to sell, which adds color to the opening of the restaurant. After reading it, no one applauded. In fact, this is the so-called calligraphy poem. A good calligraphy poem should not only be clever in calligraphy, but also beautiful and artistic. From this perspective, the calligraphy of this poem is successful. There are many interesting couplets and interesting poems about this great scholar, Lun Xuwen. You can ask them to read it, and you should sigh at the profoundness of Chinese characters every time you finish reading it.
