Idle boring to compare couplets, one stroke at a time to find fun

Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-02-17

During the Spring Festival holiday, when I had nothing to do, I happened to see the notice of the Guanyang County Poetry Association on my mobile phone. An inexplicable impulse surged in my heart, although I am usually not interested in couplets, but this time, I decided to challenge myself and contribute to the development of couplets in Guanyang.

There are a total of five pairs of upper links on the notice of the conscription, and I carefully pondered them one by one, trying to find the most perfect one of them. In the process, I felt the charm and challenge of couplets. Each pair of couplets contains rich cultural connotations and profound artistic conceptions, which makes me, a person who usually doesn't do much couplets, fall in love with them.

After a lot of hard work, I finally completed the creation of five pairs of lower couplets. While some places may not fit the local context perfectly, that's the beauty of the couplet. It allows us to feel the breadth and profundity of Chinese culture in the process of searching and pondering.

The experience of this couplet made me deeply appreciate the charm of Chinese culture. Although I don't usually pay much attention to couplets, this challenge made me very interested in it. It is hoped that more people can join the ranks of couplets and jointly inherit and carry forward this excellent traditional culture. At the same time, I also look forward to seeing more talented people's masterpieces emerge in the future activities of the Guanyang County Poetry Association.

Now, I present my work and welcome criticism and correction. Please point out what is good and what is still lacking. Let us improve together in mutual discussion and contribute to the development of Guanyang's couplet.
