Chapter 470: Couplets Competition! (Part 1)

Couplets are one of the traditional Chinese cultures, also known as couplets or couplets.

It requires neat parallelism and coordinated tone, and is a unique artistic form of Chinese language with word and sound.

Couplets originated from Meng Chang, the ruler of the Later Shu in the Five Dynasties, and are a treasure of Chinese traditional culture.

From small couples posted on the street stalls during the New Year, to historical literati and poets who leave a life-long absolute that makes it difficult for everyone to leave, the culture of couplets has a long history.

This couplet by Mr. Tao is very unique and the artistic conception is extraordinary. To be precise, this level of couplet should be called a couplet.

Many people think that "couplets" and "couplets" are the same, but in fact they are not.

To give a simple example, couplets are equivalent to "making sentences", while couplets are "composition".

Couplets are a form of expression in Chinese language. Only when they reach a certain literary nature can they be considered art. Otherwise, they can only be craftsmen. Just as the finest art characters are written, they cannot be considered calligraphers.

The term "couplets" was obviously intended to distinguish it from "couplets". "couplets" are pillars, and "couplets" are couplets that can be hung out to appreciate, and are divided into elegant and vulgarity from "couplets".

Judging from the general idea of ​​this couplet by Mr. Tao, it should be made for a scene. Many people present were trying to crack it in secret. Some people thought it out, but they felt that the artistic conception was inconsistent and shook their heads to deny it.

But suddenly, such a young young man stood up, and he listened to his tone and confident look, and it seemed that he had already had the second couplet?

Some people can't believe it!

"He's right?"

"It's true!"

"Isn't this a star? I seem to have seen him on TV before!"

"It's Su Qi, the one who defeated Su Yanran and won the championship of "Best Singer"!"

"Singer? He can also couplets?"

"Not everyone can try this thing!"

"If Mr. Ye next to him is right, I can still believe him. Can he be a singer?"

"That's right, so many of us are stumped!"

"Hmph, let's talk about it later, don't be sensational."

Everyone was talking about it, and Mr. Tao, who was the questioner, was also interested and looked at him and said, "Young man, I am a couplet. I wrote it for Taoranting, do you have the second couplet?"

Mr. Tao is old and loves elegance and quietness. He travels to various places and historical sites all year round. This is especially true for Taoranting. He went there twice and was even more touched. He made a couplet.

"It's true, I don't know if it's OK." Su Qigao smiled in an unfathomable way.

couplet?

Of course he himself won't!

However, he has the ability to remember everything he has seen, and many memories of dust have long been revived.

After living for more than 20 years, even if it is just unconscious learning, it contains a huge amount of things.

I remember when I was still in school, Su Qi was a problem student and was most afraid of Chinese teachers.

Once, the Chinese teacher asked to write an article with the couplet as the theme. In order not to be beaten, Su Qi searched a book called "The Complete Collection of Chinese Couplets" overnight.

Originally, I just used it and learned it now. Although I read the book after reading it, I just watched it briefly. After that, I forgot it and didn't deliberately recite or study it.

This should have been a forgotten memory, which is buried deep in the brain, and perhaps I will never think about it or use it again in this life.

But now, the moment he saw the couplet, Su Qi couldn't help but think of the book in his mind. In an instant, the magnificent knowledge filled the entire brain like a revelation.

Su Qi raised his head, with a humble mouth, but he had unprecedented confidence in his heart. He narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I happened to have a second couplet in this couplet."

Mr. Tao pointed to the pen and ink in front of him and said, "But it's okay."

Su Qi bowed his fists and then picked up the paper and pen. The pen was like a dragon and snake, and he splashed the ink and wrote a few words.

Everyone, including Ye Jinnian, showed their interest. After seeing Su Qi finish writing, they all looked at it intently.

I saw the book - I asked the sky with wine, and the Tao Ran was drunk together, and the autumn colors of the West Mountain came!

Um?

Ask the sky with wine?

Tao Ran is drunk together?

Everyone was stunned and hurriedly looked at the first couplet of Mr. Tao, and merged them in two groups, and the couplet suddenly became complete.

The ground is covered with long spears, and a pavilion is alone, and the river beams of the Hazi go hand in hand; I ask the sky with wine, and the delicacy is drunk together, and the autumn colors of the West Mountain come.

Mr. Tao also clapped his hands and said, "It's interesting, interesting, this couplet is pretty good!"

Su Qi smiled, but he didn't stop writing another couplet, but he saw him saying, "I have been to Taoranting, and this couplet made me itchy, so I couldn't help but make a couplet. Unfortunately, I didn't think about the couplet. Why don't Mr. Tao help me see it?"

What?

Did you write the first couplet?

You gave questions to Teacher Tao?

Everyone was stunned again!

Even Mr. Tao was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Okay, I'll face a couple."

Su Qi raised the couplet and everyone looked at it.

I saw that the first couplet was - the preface of Lan Kai and the song of Canglang. There was a guest Tao Ranxin drunk!

Someone began to think about the second couplet, and after a few seconds, two sounds sounded at the same time.

"Zi Mei's poems, the prefect's double writings, and the fragrance will be added to the wind without flowers!"

"On both sides of the green shade, on both sides of the reeds, there are drunk everywhere in Chang'an!"

These two voices are old and young. The first sentence is Mr. Tao, and the second sentence is from Ye Jinnian.

Everyone at the scene was stunned again, and Ye Jinnian thought about Mr. Tao's couplet and shook his head with self-deprecatingness.

"It's still Mr. Tao's second couplet that is even better."

Mr. Tao patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's good to be drunk in Chang'an. If I remember correctly, you are a child of the Old Ye family."

Ye Jinnian bowed: "It's the junior."

Mr. Tao looked at Su Qi, then Ye Jinnian, and said, "Haha, they are all good seedlings."

As he said that, he took out a piece of beautiful jade from his hand and handed it out with some reluctance, "Young man, this jade has been with me for many years, you must treat it well."

Su Qi glanced at it and declined, "Since this jade has an extraordinary meaning to the seniors, it's better for the younger generation. If we ordinary people are just having fun together, we should just have fun."

Mr. Tao was actually a little reluctant to leave, and immediately said, "Haha, I am really reluctant to leave this jade, so I will stay, but this game is not enough, why don't we... let's have another game?"

"Let me do this, I will give you a few top couplets. Who can answer them all? I will give him a pair of my calligraphy. Although it is not valuable, it is much more valuable than the old man's piece of jade!"

When everyone heard this, they became interested.

"Mr. Tao's Mo Bao?"

"Oh, that thing has no market value!"

"As Mr. Tao, this thing is not expensive if it is worth hundreds of thousands!"

"The key is, how many people can have the original works of Mr. Tao? You can't buy them for hundreds of thousands!"

"No, I have to stay here to see this game!"

"Old man, I'll sign up!"

Everyone at the scene was excited, and Su Qi looked at Su Yanran and said, "If you are not in a hurry, I want to try it too."

Su Yanran spread her hands: "It's okay, you're just having fun anyway."

Ye Jinnian on the side also smiled, "Since Brother Su is interested, I'll try it."
