The widow came out of the couplet "one person, one bowl and one pot", Xiucai was in the next couplet, and the widow was ashamed to marry her lover.
It is rumored that the origin of the couplet can be traced back to the period of Meng Chang, the lord of Shu five generations later, and after more than 2,000 years of evolution, it still retains its unique charm. The couplets focus on the balance of phonology and the neatness of the words, striving to create a beautiful mood and a catchy reading experience.
Ancient literati were fond of couplets, not only because they were interesting, but more importantly, because they could be used as a tool for emotional expression.

Couplets are a treasure of Chinese culture and a literary form that the masses like to see. Its content is rich and the form is refined, which can be both elegant and deep, and easy to understand.
In our daily life, the Spring Festival couplets imply a beautiful expectation for the new year, the elegiac couplets are deep sorrow for the deceased, and the celebration couplets are full of warm wishes for happy events.
These couplets are people's yearning for a better life, admiration for their ancestors, and adherence to excellent traditions.
In addition, couplets can also be used as a tool to satirize others and vent their inner grievances. In ancient times, there was a landlord, who oppressed the people for a long time, and did all kinds of evil, coinciding with the Spring Festival, the landlord planned to ask someone to write a couplet and hang it at the door of his home.
So he visited a local genius and asked him to write a couplet for himself. The talented man had an upright personality and was deeply disgusted by what the landlord did, and wanted to take this opportunity to humiliate him, so he wrote in the upper couplet: 1234567, and the lower couplet wrote: courtesy, righteousness, honesty, shame, filial piety, and loyalty.
The landlord's level of education was not high, so he happily hung this couplet on the door. Over the next few days, many people who passed by the landlord's house would laugh heartily, and the landlord was so confused by this that he stopped one of the people who was laughing the most and asked why.
The man smiled and said, the upper link is "one, two, three, four, five, six and seven", but the "eight" is missing, and the lower link is "filial piety, loyalty, courtesy, righteousness and honesty", but there is no "shame", isn't this just saying that you are a shameless king?
The landlord felt very embarrassed when he heard this, and immediately ordered someone to tear off all the couplets, and never again did things that lacked virtue.
During the Song Dynasty, couplets once helped a woman of the Wang family who lost her husband to regain her good relationship. This story is still sung today. The Wang woman is not only beautiful and moving, but also good at singing and dancing, full of economy, many suitors have come, and the threshold of the Wang family has almost been broken.
At her marriageable age, the Wang family carefully selected a man who served in the army as her husband, and the two were harmonious and happy. However, the good times did not last long, and Wang's husband was wounded in a battle and unfortunately passed away, leaving Wang alone and widowed.
Since the death of her husband, Wang has been depressed every day, tears rippled, and the neighbors around her have seen her lonely and miserable, and they have persuaded each other to find a good relationship again. However, Wang has a deep affection for her deceased husband and has never taken the step of remarriage.
The Wang family struggled to survive on only one acre and three points of land, and struggled to survive. A few years later, during the Spring Festival, seeing the people around him reunited, laughing and laughing, Wang couldn't help but feel a trace of bitterness in his heart.
Faced with this situation, Wang realized that the road ahead was still quite long, and it was a pity to sacrifice his good youth for the sake of a person who had already passed away.
It is indeed time to forget about the past and find a suitable partner anew. However, it is extremely difficult to operate in reality, after all, the thinking of the Song Dynasty was still very conservative, and it was difficult for a widow who remarried to find a good family.
However, Wang is arrogant, unwilling to compromise, and firmly wants to find a good man with knowledge and responsibility, so she comes up with a way.
Wang's door hung up the upper couplet "one person, one bowl and one pot", and whoever can make the lower couplet may become her husband. This method not only shows her life situation, but also tests the cultural level of the other party.
This couplet may seem simple, but it's actually ingenious, blending numbers and things, and it's hard to deal with for a while.
Fate is really a magical thing, and when the Wang family was about to give up looking for a suitable partner, a showman appeared on the doorstep. Xiucai was attracted by the upper link at the door, and couldn't help but blush, thinking it was very interesting, and after careful consideration, he wrote on the lower link: "Sit alone, lie alone, think alone."
When Wang went out, he was very satisfied when he saw Xialian, so he asked someone to help find this talent. When the two met, Wang found that this talent was not only knowledgeable, but also handsome and tall, which made her feel a deep favor in her heart.
When the talented man met the beautiful Wang, he fell in love with each other at first sight, so he chose a good day and an auspicious day, tied the knot, and lived a happy life. It can be seen that couplets play a vital role in our daily lives, and we should continue to carry forward the couplet culture.
