The couplet story Hong Xiuquan's Shake the Star

Hong Xiuquan "shakes the stars"

Night bathing fish ponds shake the stars.

Get up early to climb the scale pavilion and pull three generations of Gankun.

Legend has it that Hong Xiuquan went swimming in the pond with some friends on a starry summer night and saw the bright stars reflected in the pond, sparkling and shining. Hong Xiuquan then sang couplets:

Night bathing fish ponds shake the stars.

Get up early to climb the scale pavilion and pull three generations of Gankun.

The first pair of couplets writes the scenery truthfully, conveying feelings with the scenery, with strange ideas and great momentum; The bottom line expresses the mind, expresses the ambition, sets off the top line and deepens the intention.
