"Yansuo Pondliu, it's just five words, is it very difficult?"
Xia Dahai clapped his fingers and counted.
"Hahaha......"
Lin Xu was so amused that he burst out laughing.
"Sir, why are you laughing?"
Xia Dahai was even more puzzled.
"This is the first time I have heard someone say that the difficulty of a couplet is related to the number of words! According to you, the fewer the number of words, the less difficult it is, and the more the number of words, the greater the difficulty?"
"Is it not?"
"Hahaha......"
Seeing Xia Dahai's confused look, Lin Xu laughed again.
In fact, to a certain extent, the difficulty of the couplet does have a certain relationship with the number of words. The more words, the greater the difficulty, but there is no absolute relationship. For example, he gave this
Although the first couplet only contains five short words, it is recognized as an eternal absolute!
Because this first couplet has extremely strict restrictions!
That is, the radicals of the five characters in the first line include "metal, wood, water, fire, and earth", the five elements of heaven and earth. According to the rules, the five characters in the second line must also use "gold, wood, water,
The five elements "fire and earth" can be used as radicals!
It’s easy to find characters with “metal, wood, water, fire, earth” as their radicals, but it’s too difficult to choose one from each of them, and have to keep up with the parallels, and also have to match the artistic conception!
In the previous life, the first couplet of "Smoke locks the willows in the pond" was rated as the "absolute" first couplet by relevant people. Over the thousands of years, I don't know how many literati and poets wanted to break this barrier. However, they gave
The second couplet produced is either with the wrong radical or inconsistent with the artistic conception. No one has ever been able to come up with a perfect second line.
I wonder if the "unranked third overall" in front of me has the strength?
Zhang Wenchang naturally knew the special restrictions contained in this first couplet. He sat there and thought about it for a long time, but still had no clue. So he stood up again and walked around his stall, but still had no clue!
"It's too difficult! It's too difficult! Sir, how did you come up with such a difficult absolute?!"
Unable to express the second line of apology, Zhang Wenchang felt extremely depressed and complained directly to Lin Xu!
"Haha, don't worry, think about it slowly, maybe you can figure it out."
Lin Xu persuaded with a smile on his face.
"Don't be in a hurry! Don't be in a hurry! I have to think about it! I will definitely be able to figure it out! I don't believe there is a perfect match in this world! I will definitely be able to figure it out!"
Zhang Wenchang yelled and cheered himself up in this way!
Looking at Zhang Wenchang's crazy look, Xia Dahai was very puzzled and couldn't help but ask again: "Sir, the first couplet you wrote only has five words, and it doesn't seem to be difficult! Why is he like this?
Stupid? Can’t even pronounce such a simple first couplet?”
"What do you know!"
Zhang Wenchang was extremely upset. After hearing Xia Dahai's words, he immediately shouted: "The first couplet of Mr. Yan Locks the Pond Willow, although it only has five words, is based on the five elements! My second couplet must also be able to
The radicals of the five elements must be equal and corresponding in artistic conception! What do you mean, the number of words in this first couplet is small, so it is not difficult? You will laugh out loud!"
"Hey! What's your boy's name? Just now you came up with three first couplets, but my husband opened his mouth and came out with the second couplet without any slowness at all! Now it's my husband's turn to come out with the first couplet, but he just came out with the third couplet.
It's just the simplest first couplet, but you can't be sorry, and you are still here with a shameless face, like a monkey whose butt has been burned by fire, this is called laughing at people's teeth!"
Xia Dahai slapped Zhang Wenchang unceremoniously, and then further undermined his self-confidence: "Let me tell you the bottom line, my husband's first couplet is the simplest, and the next two couplets,
Each one is more difficult than the last! Since you can’t even get the first couplet right, it means you are far behind my husband’s level! Just a word of advice, give in quickly. You can’t get up anyway, so don’t do it.
It’s a waste of brains here!” This chapter has been completed!
