The art of couplets of the Chinese nation has a long history, and although the ancient students were not highly talented, as long as they could make good couplets, they could be praised and recognized. Nowadays, although the form of the couplet has changed a bit, the purpose of the couplet is more pure, mainly for entertainment and fun. Among them, "embedding couplet" is the most popular and most influential one. There was a funny thing that happened in a school where the students wanted to tease a chubby teacher, but the teacher's response left the students speechless. Next, I will describe the story in detail and the wonderful details in it.
Before telling this story, let's first understand what an "embedded couplet" is. For example, the upper link is: "Mo Yanlu encounters autumn rain". The couplet is embedded with the names of three masters of Chinese literature: Nobel laureate Mo Yan, Lu Yao, best known for his work Ordinary World, and Yu Qiuyu as a representative of Cultural Journey. This kind of "embedding couplet" is a form of couplet handed down from ancient times, and the difficulty lies in how to subtly embed the names of celebrities in the couplet, while maintaining the integrity of the overall artistic conception.
Once, at a school, students planned to tease a chubby teacher. At that time, when the teacher was in class, the teacher's clothes were lifted to reveal his big belly, and a student couldn't help shouting "general's belly", and then another student took advantage of the situation to make a couplet: "Bajie takes a bath, and the pig goes into the water". This couplet made everyone present laugh.
However, the young teacher did not get angry because of this, and he calmly said the following couplet: "Wukong is ordained, monkey head hoop". This link caused the students to reflect and correct, because they realized that even the Monkey King, who has a unique skill, will be afraid of the tightening spell of ** recitation. Through this couplet, the teacher told the students that although it is okay to joke at ordinary times, it is necessary to pay attention to proportion, and the relationship between teachers and students should still respect each other.
The story takes place in the case of a young teacher who teaches Chinese. He and some important students went to the mountains to collect style and at the same time exercise their literary talents. They found a small stream in the mountains and decided to go down together to play in the water, and if the water was too deep, take a swim and enjoy the cool summer days.
They were joined by a fellow teacher, and when they reached the depth, the students jumped into the water, and the teacher hesitated and decided to jump. However, due to the teacher's fatter stature, the students couldn't help but laugh when he lifted his clothes to reveal his big belly. One student shouted "general's belly", while another student joked: "Bajie takes a bath, and the pig goes into the water." This couplet makes everyone laugh even more.
The young teacher did not get angry because of this, but responded to the students with a clever couplet: "Wukong is ordained, monkey head hoop". This link made the students silently accept the lesson, realizing that even the Monkey King, who has a unique skill, will be afraid of the tightening spell of ** recitation. The teacher used this couplet to warn the students that it is okay to joke at ordinary times, but they need to pay attention to proportion, and teachers and students should respect each other.
The students' couplets make people laugh, and the teacher's response is admirable. This story was later spread on the Internet, and many netizens also gave different sublinks, which used the "homophony method" to ridicule and play. But, in any case, the story also reminds us to pay attention to the details and appreciate the breadth and profundity of Chinese characters, even when we are joking.
To sum up, as one of the cultural treasures of the Chinese nation, couplets have always had an important position. From ancient times to the present, the form of the couplet has changed, but its value and charm remain. Whether it is ancient students or modern people, mastering the skill of couplets can gain an advantage to a certain extent. However, in today's society, couplets are more about fun, humor and fun. As one of the forms, the "embedding couplet" is widely popular and far-reaching. In the modulation between teachers and students, the traditional form of embedding names has been innovated and carried forward, which not only makes people happy, but also conveys profound thinking and educational significance through meticulous text expression.
