Do me a favor and ask for couplets.

Among all kinds of couplets, what most people are interested in is probably the so-called "Jue". "Absolute" has two characteristics. First, it has been circulated among the people for a long time. Some are right and some are wrong. Second, it is difficult. Anything that can be called "absolute" always has some quaint conditions.

"Liu Tang" is a particularly restricted opponent. The radicals of these five words include "gold, wood, water, fire and earth" and "five elements", and the bottom couplet should also have "five elements" to match.

This couplet has been passed down through the ages and is famous all over the world. There are many good pairs in the process of spreading, and now there are one or two from ancient times to the present.

Ancient articles

Three hundred years ago, Chen Zisheng (16 14- 1692, a native of Nanhai, Guangdong) was the younger brother of Chen Zizhuang, a famous loyal minister in the Southern Ming Dynasty (Zhu Youlang, king of Yongming, was a university student in Dongge and a minister of war). He was given a job by the official etiquette department of the Ming Dynasty, not an official. His book "Zhongzhou Caotang Legacy Collection", volume 16, has Liu, and the preface says: "The guest has two Liu who take the word Yan Suochi as the antithesis, which is in line with good deeds."

A cloud:

Smoke locks the pond willow, and the lamp hangs (a "charge") brocade threshold wave. Echoing the first dance, folding willows and smelling songs.

The second cloud:

The lamp hangs down the brocade threshold wave, and the smoke locks the pond willow. I dreamed of the five lakes and the mouth of the Mekong and Langjia levees.

Chen Zisheng's poems about "Yan Suochi Liu Tang" are very poetic. "lamp drooping" is "real writing"; If it is easy to "fill in the lamp", it is "empty writing". "Light" refers to light and covers waves. It is beneficial to look at its "weight" with a "filling", which is similar to the so-called symbolic technique of modern writers. However, if we follow the "right path", the word "vertical" is still better.

Although this pair of sentences also has five elements, Chen Zisheng is not satisfied, because both light and smoke come from fire, and he feels that he is not working. This is also the strictness that the ancients demanded of themselves. Then there is the "Song of Liu Xiaohong" cloud:

Smoke locks the pond willow, and the sales peak is extremely fragrant. The east branch stops the spring water, and the south wing complains about the autumn wind.

Use "Feng Xiao Ji Saihong" to "Yansuochi Liu Tang"; The artistic conception is high, but Chen Zisheng is too strict with himself. The word "lighthouse" is also next to the word "fire", which means "smoke" He is not satisfied, and make the cloud "smoke lock light sink":

Smoke locks the pond willow, and the bell sinks the pavilion lamp. The heart of the lamp is red and dense, and the eyes are blue and clear.

Zhong Shen Table Lamp and Chimney Pond Willow; The "five elements" on both sides are not important, which can be said to be painstaking. But the theory of poetry is a bit reluctant, which seems less natural than the combination of "hanging lights" and "lighthouse sales".

"Qing barnyard grass notes" also found the opposite of a predecessor, that is:

Dengshen Village Temple Bell.

It is not only harmonious in level, but also superior to nature, and the artistic conception and charm catch up with the original sentence. It is the writing method of "taking the virtual with the real", and "deep" (far-reaching) not only describes the location of the village temple, but also enjoys the lighting visually. "Bell" refers to the bell, which is the description of hearing in Village Temple Bell. It's the same as the smoke lock.

1. The lighthouse sign of Zhu Jin Denggang Shop in Teppanyaki Pavilion in Gangcheng.

What Mr. Luo Guangbin wrote in Guangzhou can be found in his original poem 1:

Liu Tangyan Suochi, Gangcheng Teppanyaki. Full of green, the revolving hall, has a pleasant view.

His second poem:

Smoke locks the pond willow, and the court wears brocade column lights. Inviting Zhuhai night, the horn is full of friends.

"Gangcheng Teppanyaki" is a tool provided by Cantonese Restaurant. The iron plate is electrified and heated, and lettuce is placed on the table. This way of eating is very poetic, full of the flavor of Zhi Zhu's ci, and interesting in common customs. And the only heartless couple.

"Ting Pei Zhu Jin Deng" refers to Guangzhou White Swan Hotel, located in a small continent in Shamian, Guangzhou, which is full of sand. "Zhu Jin Deng" said that the lighting is beautiful, and "Tingpei" said that "if you plant a lamp post, you must be raised."

"Harbour Paving Lighthouse Lighthouse" has a new meaning, and it also refers to the local scenery. Inspired by "watching the harbor at night, the boat is like a boat". Every port must have a lighthouse sign to prevent ships from hitting the rocks.

Secondly, the lake is decorated with brocade lanterns.

Mr. Jiang Huazheng, who works for the United Nations in new york, wrote a note saying: "The golden pavilion lights reflect the lake, shore and water, so it is called' Zeng'".

Third, Zhenjiang gun rack

Mr. Chen Yulei of Suzhou explained what he saw in Zhenjiang: "Zhenjiang and Guazhou face each other across the river, and the situation is dangerous. The couplet of the word "gun rack" is extraordinary, but the words "lock" and "rack" are silent, and "pond" and "river" are flat, and jade does not hide its leisure.

Fourth, Yan Yan mud nest

According to the couplets written by readers, Yan belongs to the "fire" part (the four dots below Yan symbolize the appearance of fire red), and there are five lines of titles, mud and thunder, in which the word "thunder" is a verb, but the word "thunder" can also be interpreted as "obstacle" and can be used for the word "pond". Unfortunately, the word "nest" belongs to the "cloud" system, not to the "eye" system. Otherwise, it fully meets the specifications.

Five, the tea must be cooked thoroughly.

This couplet was first published in Yangcheng Evening News, and the next couplet was inverted. It uses "Biquan" water to make tea, which is moist and harmonious and has a beautiful artistic conception. The tea is fine and enjoyable, and the "Biquan" is real. The biggest feature of this sentence is that the top five lines are on the right and the bottom five lines are all moved down.

Six, the lighthouse pin desert plug more

Chen Jingzhi's works are not only fluent and harmonious, but also the order of the "five elements" and the first part. But it is possible to learn from Chen Zisheng's poems.

Seven, Deng Mingshui ink building

What Mr. Chen did, only the word "water" was "five elements", which slightly conflicted with the first part.

Eight, ash pile Zhenhai tower cannon pile Zhenhai tower

They are all anonymous works, which can be opposed in form (all five elements), but they are meaningless. Moreover, the first couplet is a beautiful five-character poem, and the gray sentences are only "understandable". The elegance and vulgarity between the two are incalculable. Later, someone changed the word "gun pile", which is much better than "ash pile", but the momentum of the word "pile" is too weak, so it is unreasonable and far-fetched for zhenhai tower to pile a lot of guns.

9. Dengpu Shenzhen Bridge

The word "shop" is not used properly in Mr. Zhang's proposed couplet, but "deep bridge" is a noun and can be used as "pond willow" However, it is a proper noun. Strictly speaking, it is used to "avoid" common nouns.
