Palindrome, read in the opposite direction, can make sense. Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty wrote a famous palindrome:

Shangke Tian Ran Bureau

The Incredible Skywalker

The first couplet of this couplet says that guests go to a "natural residence" restaurant for dinner; The second part is the inversion of the first part, which means that eating in this restaurant is like a guest in the sky. This couplet is not only meaningful in mindfulness and inversion, but also closely related to the contents of the upper and lower couplets, which is very interesting.

When English was introduced to China, funny couplets in English were also written in Chinese characters. There was a middle school math teacher somewhere who died of overwork in his forties. His colleagues are very sad. An English teacher wrote this couplet at his memorial service:

I killed you for x, y and z.

It's called w, f, s. Who do you depend on?

X, Y and Z inserted in couplets are commonly used symbols in mathematics, indicating that the math teacher devoted himself to mathematics teaching all his life, but neglected his own illness and died in middle age. The w, f and s added in the second couplet are the initials of wife, father and son respectively, which means that if you leave your wife and children after death, who can support you reliably? Although this couplet contains English letters in Chinese characters, it is also very neat and unique to read.

The shortest couplet we have ever seen is a pair of two-character couplets written in memory of the dead China compatriots out of anger at the Japanese aggression after the September 18th Incident in193/kloc-0.

die

grow

The first couplet of this couplet is the word "death", and the second couplet is the word "life" written backwards, which implies that the people of China would rather die standing than live on their knees in the face of the butcher's knife of the Japanese aggressors, and expresses the heroic spirit of the people of China who will not be conquered people and swear to fight the Japanese aggressors to the end. Although there are only two words in this couplet, every word is a close call!

There is also a strange couplet made of punctuation marks. It was 1 April, 9491day, and the Kuomintang government had reached the desperate situation of collapse. At that time, college students in Nanjing took to the streets to protest against Chiang Kai-shek's continued civil war, and Kuomintang military police killed two students who were marching. At the memorial service of two college students, someone wrote such a couplet, with no words and only a few punctuation marks:

Zazie Hoko

! ! ! ! ! !

A series of question marks in the first couplet of this elegiac couplet are asking the Kuomintang government: Why did you fight the civil war? Why fake peace and kill patriotic students? A series of exclamation marks in the second couplet express the determination and oath of the people of Nanjing: oppose civil war! Down with Kuomintang reactionaries! ! Build a new China! ! ! Although there is not a word in this couplet, it has profound meaning. It is true that no word is worth a thousand words, and silence is better than sound.
