Requirements of couplets

Couplets with five or seven words are exactly the same as couplets (three or four sentences) or abdominal couplets (five or six sentences) that rhyme with five or seven words. As an independent literary genre, couplets mainly require antithesis and couplet. The so-called "right" means that in the form of pairs, each other is "right"; The so-called "connection" means that the contents of the context should take care of each other and be closely related. The upper and lower couplets must have a complete and unified organization and clear and concise language in order to explain a problem, express a thing or clarify a truth well. Specifically, the requirements of couplets are:

The number of words in the upper and lower couplets should be equal;

The upper and lower conjunctions should be the same; That is, the phrases that make up the upper couplet are several words respectively, and the corresponding phrases of the lower couplet must also be several words respectively.

The upper and lower parts of speech should be consistent; The so-called part of speech refers to the category nature of words, such as nouns, verbs and adjectives. The part of speech of the upper couplet and the part of speech of the lower couplet should be the same and relative according to the order of words. This requirement is mainly to better express the ideological content in symmetrical artistic language.

Syntax of upper and lower conjunctions should be consistent; Syntax is the way to make sentences. In a couplet, the first couplet is composed of several words, so must the second couplet.

Up and down should be harmonious; In the expression of couplets, we should pay attention to the relative melody, that is, the tone is even and gentle. This is mainly for the sake of harmonious phonology, scattered ups and downs, and pleasing to the ear. For example:

-Clouds carry bells through the Woods-

(average, average)

-The moon moves over Jiang Lai-

It is flat and peaceful.

In addition, there are two main syllables in ancient poetry. One is a two-word rice called "two-tone step" and the other is a single-word rice called "one-tone step". Two-tone step is mainly based on the second word, and the first word is not strict, and couplets are also acceptable. For example:

-The window contains Xiling snow-

(-Ping-Ping)

-Mombo Wu Dong Wan Li-

(-Ping-Ping)

The "window" in the upper couplet and the "door" in the lower couplet are flat to flat, and the "west" and "east" are opposite.

The contents of the up and down links should be related; For example, Gu Xiancheng, the leader of Lindong Party in Ming Dynasty, wrote such a couplet on the gate of Donglin Academy: The sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, all care about the family, the country and the world. The first part writes about scenery, the second part expresses ambition, and the content of the first part is closely related, which makes it easy for people to understand the author's self-encouragement and self-motivation literally.
