Appreciation of ancient and modern wonderful couplets
Zhu said that some people cooperated with friends in the Qing Dynasty to write couplets for their 50th birthday:
Same age as me, lived for three days;
Get your bosom friend, * * * one hundred years.
Born in the same year. Humble words. Three days longer, that is, three days older than his friend. The last sentence can be understood as two people celebrating their centenary together, and it can also be understood as two people want to live to be centenary.
Yin Wei's "Wei Yuan Couplet Notes" said that when Wei Yuan was a child in Qing Dynasty, when he saw that everyone in the local area liked to copy other people's poems to show off, he hated it and sometimes exposed it. One day, a juren pointed to a portable candle lamp and asked Wei Yuan if he was right. Lian Yue:
Oil-filled candle, there is a heart in the candle and a fire in the heart;
Wei Yuanquan way:
Paper lanterns have many eyes near the cage, but there are no beads in them.
"There is fire in the heart" and "There is no pearl in the eye" are puns. Candle, candle, heart, heart and cage, cage and eye are connected.
"Comment on Ancient and Modern Clever Solutions" said that on the wedding night of Qin Guan and Su Xiaomei, Su Xiaomei somehow decided to ignore Qin Guan and expressed his feelings with the following couplet:
There are few stars in the moon, so it will definitely not rain tonight;
Qin knowing, and bottom allied:
It's freezing in the cold, and the Ming Dynasty is bound to become frost.
Puns are mainly used in conjunctions. The moon stars are thin and cloudless. No clouds and no rain, that is, no clouds and no rain. It doesn't rain or talk. First frost, still in pairs.
According to Xie Renyi, when Jie Jin was seven years old, he went out with his father and saw a woman playing the flute. Father gave a word to his life, saying:
The fairy plays the flute, and the jade bamboo shoots emerge from the dead bamboo joints;
Jie Jin responded:
Beauty holds an umbrella, and the new lotus leaves reveal the golden lotus.
Dead bamboo, flute also. Jade bamboo shoots, the hand of a singer. This is a metaphor. Jinlian is the name of foot. These two couplets are very vivid.
Jing Changchun's "A Joint Record of Modern Historical Events" has a joint record of a martyr's essay in Huanghuagang, saying:
Life is white, but your head is expensive.
The bones of yellow flowers are fragrant when they are buried.
The first couplet is very chivalrous. The "yellow flower" in the second couplet refers to both Huanghuagang and Chrysanthemum, meaning that the spirit of martyrs is immortal.
According to legend, during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, the Spring Festival was approaching, and Kangxi ordered Li Guangdi, a great scholar, to write a hundred couplets of Spring Festival couplets to replace the old ones in the palace. Emperor Guangdi was worried about this matter, and his brother Guangpo happened to come to Beijing and offered to do it for him. On New Year's Eve, Guangpo presented the following couplets to the emperor:
There are seventy-two sages underground, and the sages change color;
There are 28 stars in the sky, and spring comes every night.
After seeing it, Kangxi praised it greatly.
Seventy-two plus twenty-eight, exactly one hundred, is a generation of hundreds of pairs, which can be said to be skillful in using numbers. "Xian, Xian" and "Su, Su" are connected. "Sage" and "accommodation" are overlapping words. Seventy-two sages refer to the outstanding disciples of Confucius. Easy color, there are many solutions, according to Yan Shigu's point of view, looks are not important.
"Grand View of China's Ancient and Modern Clever Couplets", Hunan Peng Geng once published couplets in Tianjin journal of information. Lian Yue:
Faith is what people say. If you want to win people's trust, you must also keep your words.
Henan Yu Wan Jie way:
Smoking is the cause of fire. It is common to smoke and catch fire, so you should give up smoking.
Couplets are a pair of words. "People" and "words" become "faith", "fire" and "cause" become "smoke", which can be seen from both sides.
According to legend, in the early years of the Republic of China, a restaurant in Chongqing hung a bottle of French Samsung brandy on its door to solicit couplets. There were many respondents, but the boss was never satisfied. At that time, Guo Moruo was still very young. When he heard the news, he thought of a famous dish in Sichuan, which might be related to wine, and asked:
Samsung brandy,
Huangmeitian in May.
Generally speaking, we only know that "Huangmeitian" refers to the climate, not the name of the dish. We mistakenly think that this couplet is "heartless". In fact, a wine and a dish have a very coherent meaning. The upper part embeds the brand name and wine name, and the lower part embeds the time name and dish name.
According to Xie Renyi, Tang Bohu met Zhang Ling and often drank together. One day, Tang Yue said:
Jia Dao was drunk, not fake,
Zhang Gao said:
Liu Ling drinks nothing but zero.
Jia Dao was a poet in the Tang Dynasty. Liu Ling, one of the "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest" in the Western Jin Dynasty, was a heavy drinker and wrote Ode to Wine Virtue. There are two methods in this regard. "Jia Dao" is homonym with "false words", "Liu Ling" and "leaving zero", which is "mixing differences"; "False falling" and "leaving zero" are verb-object phrases, which can also be regarded as homophonic spellings of "Jia Dao" and "Liu Ling".
According to the couplet, in the early years of the Republic of China, Changsha Daily used to focus on dragons. At that time, people wrote a harmonious couplet and published it in Ta Kung Pao:
Dragon, Gong, Dragon Palace * * *;
King Ma Bin, King Robin, King Marog Bin.
The main works of Dragon Palace II are not detailed. Ma Bin, that is, Ma Zhou, was born in the early Tang Dynasty, and served as an imperial adviser during the reign of Emperor Taizong. Luo is also a native of the early Tang Dynasty, and is one of the "four outstanding figures in the early Tang Dynasty". His poems are full of words of grief and indignation, and he once wrote On Martial Arts. The main methods of couplets are word analysis, repetition and embedding names.
"Ancient and modern Qiao Lian Miao to anecdote" cloud, Tang Xianzu's wedding night in the Ming Dynasty, the bride went to Lian Yue:
Red candle dragon, water dragon goes from the fire;
Show that your ancestors have no rights for a long time. After seeing the embroidered shoes worn by the bride, I got a saying:
Flower shoes embroider the phoenix, and the phoenix on the horizon comes to the edge of the earth.
Because the dragon on the candle is made of candles, it burns at the same time when it burns, so it says "go from the fire." Because the shoes you wear are embroidered with phoenix, you say "come to the ground". On the unity of contradiction and interest.
