Guidance on how to write couplets
Do you know how to write couplets? Below, I have compiled some guidance on how to write couplets. Welcome to read.
1. The contents of the couplets are all related. When answering the couplet questions, you can use association and make use of related, similar and opposite associations. First break a sentence into several phrases, use the method of association to make pairs for each word, and then concatenate these paired words into a sentence. For example, the first couplet in the 2004 National College Entrance Examination Questions "Sweep the Thousand-Year Old Habit" can be broken down into "Sweep--Thousand-Year Old Habit". Words related to "Sweep" include "eliminate, reform, remove, reform, destroy, establish, and establish". , multiply, show, etc., the words related to "thousand years" include "wanzai, hundred years, three autumns, four seasons, one generation, several generations", etc., and the words related to "old customs" include "bad customs, bad customs, bad customs, new customs" And so on, by selecting words and concatenating them into sentences, you can eliminate centuries-old old customs and establish new trends for a generation. This splitting method is more practical for students who are just learning to write couplets.
2. A couplet is like a condensed poem, and you should also pay attention to its conception. Whether it is describing scenes, expressing aspirations or expressing emotions, or pondering history, or analyzing reality, there must be clear feelings about what to praise and what to criticize, and the ideological content must be positive. To do this, we must pay attention to selecting images that meet the requirements of this idea.
3. Students should accumulate more knowledge in normal times. Many famous sayings and aphorisms are neatly written in couplets, such as? The thread in the hands of a loving mother, The clothes on a wanderer? The sun rises and the river flowers are as red as the fire. When spring comes, the river is as green as blue? When the sun sets, the river is as green as blue. The clouds and the solitary owl fly together, and the autumn water is the same color as the sky. Two orioles sing in the green willows, and a row of egrets ascend the blue sky. The sparse shadows are slanting across the clear and shallow water, and the faint fragrance floats in the moonlight dusk. The cold eyebrows are pointed at the thousand husbands, and they bend down to drink. For Ru Ziniu?, reading more and remembering more will be of great benefit to writing couplets.
4. Be good at using it. The so-called transformation refers to the flexible use of astronomy, geography, seasonal and other knowledge, as well as idioms, famous poems, idioms and allusions, etc. to prepare couplets. For example, in the self-encouragement couplet written by Pu Songling: "If there is a will, things will come true; if the cauldron sinks the boat, a hundred and two Qin passes will eventually belong to Chu; if you work hard, people and nature will not let you down; if you lie down and taste courage, three thousand Vietnamese armor can swallow up Wu", it cleverly describes: "Those who have a will can do it." It turns out that the idioms and allusions such as "Burn the cauldron and sink the boat", "The Emperor is worthy of the hard work", "Lie on the salary and taste the gall"" are integrated into one couplet. Another example is "Xunzi's advice on learning, erudition will lead to masters and masters", which can be corrected with "The cook and the ding will understand the ox, and after long-term practice, the skills will advance to the Tao", and the idiom and allusions of "the master will outshine the master" and the cook and the ox will be integrated into it. Understand the proposition form of couplets
A. Write a complete couplet according to the context requirements provided.
B. Make the second couplet based on the given upper couplet. This type of question is the most common test, and all the couplet questions in the 2004 College Entrance Examination were of this type. Specifically, there are the following types:
1. Fill-in-the-blank type. This form can be combined with the content of the textbook and literary knowledge to examine the couplets. For example: ① The translation has not yet been completed, and I am shocked to hear about the death of the star. Who will lead the cry in China? My husband has passed away, and I remember the old rain painfully, and the literary world feels hesitant from now on. ② Fan Zhongyan wrote a poem to express his feelings in the Yueyang Tower, while Ouyang Xiu was enjoying himself with the people in the Drunkard Pavilion.
2. Complementary formula. This form can have two situations. One is to refer to one couplet and make up another couplet. The couplet questions on the 2004 college entrance examination paper adopt this proposition form. The second is to write couplets based on the words provided in the question. For example: Please draft a couplet with "dignity" and "arrogance" as the beginning of the first and second lines respectively, no more than 30 words. (Couplet: Dignity casts personality and makes life sublime, arrogance corrodes character and devalues ??the soul)
3. Adjustment type. This type of question can combine relevant knowledge of couplets with test points such as coherent language expression and correct use of rhetorical methods. For example: There is a couplet in Tengwang Pavilion in Nanchang, Jiangxi. The sentence order and structure of the second couplet have been disrupted. Please make appropriate adjustments according to the given first couplet. The first couplet: The overall relationship between rise and fall, watching the sunset, the solitary duck, the long autumn sky, fortunately the lakes and mountains here are intact; the content of the second couplet (has been disrupted): The emperor's son in the pavilion, asking the talented people on the river, the past and present are just a moment, the scenery of that year How to compare. The second line of the second line is adjusted to read: The past and present have only passed in a blink of an eye. I ask the talented man on the river and the emperor's son in the pavilion. How does the scenery compare with the past?
4. Situational style. This type of question provides candidates with a specific situation and requires them to write couplets in conjunction with the test point "Appropriate". The couplets written by candidates must not only meet the writing requirements of the couplets, but also conform to the specific situation provided by the proposer. For example: Teacher's Day is here. You must have a lot to say to your teacher as you are deeply touched by your teacher. Please draw up a couplet and sing the most beautiful hymn to your teacher in your heart. (Reference answer: Deep affection is like the spring light nurturing peaches and plums, and a loyal heart is like a candle illuminating the spring and autumn)
5. Topic style. This type of question only provides candidates with one topic, without any restrictions on other aspects. This provides a free and broad stage for candidates to show their talents. Everyone can show their personality, talents and aura. For example, please choose one of the words "dedication, determination, perseverance" as a topic and write a self-encouragement couplet. (Reference answer: Dedication? Candles drip with tears and smiles, chalk makes the snow fragrant. Determination? Ambition in the sea of ????learning crosses thousands of miles, and lofty ambitions climb the mountain of books. Perseverance? The rope saw does not stop, the wood is broken, the water drops are endless, and the stone can penetrate . )
6. Rewritten formula.
This type of question generally involves delineating two sentences with opposite meanings in a paragraph of text, and requires rewriting based on the knowledge of couplets, conciseness and coherence of language, and the selection, imitation, and transformation of sentence patterns. For example, rewrite the underlined part in the following sentence into a couplet and use it as a modifier for "picture scroll": After hundreds of days and nights of hard work, the Yangtze River closure project was finally successfully completed. Along the Yangtze River, a magical picture unfolds, cutting off the 5,000-mile Yangtze River and locking the countless peaks of the Three Gorges. (The underlined part can be changed to: cut off thousands of miles of water in the Yangtze River and lock countless peaks in the Three Gorges.)
7. Generalized formula. This form combines the test points of written couplets and compressed paragraphs. To do this kind of couplet question, you first need to filter out and summarize the main information in the paragraph, and then organize it in the form of couplets. Give some examples.
Answers to couplet questions are highly open-ended and autonomous. However, in addition to the neatness of the contrast, there are two points to note: First, the correlation between the upper and lower couplets must be considered; second, the ideological content of the proposed lower couplet There must be a certain style.

Analyze and examine the clarity, vividness and rhetoric of compressed passages and language. Among them, the "accuracy, distinctness and vividness" of language are newly added test points this year to connect with the new curriculum standards. Couplets are the essence of our country's traditional culture.
