China has a long history and profound cultural heritage, among which the couplet culture is unique and highly respected by literati. The ancients not only pasted couplets on doors, but also regarded them as a form of leisurely entertainment.
In activities such as mountaineering and cruises, it is one of the great joys of life to pair couplets with friends.
The origins of couplets can be traced back to the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and after a long period of evolution, the couplets have now become a popular cultural form for the public. Regardless of men and women, young and old, as long as they have read the poems, they can always say a few sentences, although they cannot be regarded as masters, but the fun is enough to make people have endless memories.
In ancient times, literati and writers were fond of couplets, and whenever they climbed the mountain, they would always express some emotion. Su Shi and Buddha Yin Zen Master are close friends, and there are many classic couplets between them.
Today we're going to talk about one of those pairs. One day, Su Shi was bored and wanted to chat with Foyin. Most of the time, Buddha Yin stayed in the temple, so Su Shi came to Jinshan Temple.
However, after arriving at Jinshan Temple, Su Shi found that the Buddha seal was not there, so he asked the little monk: "The bald donkey is **?" Although Su Shi's words were ridiculous, they were not malicious, because he had a very good relationship with Buddha Yin.
When the little monk saw a donkey grazing on the eastern hillside, he replied, "The eastern slope is grazing." The four words were simple and humorous, which made Su Dongpo couldn't help laughing.
Ji Xiaolan, a genius of the Qing Dynasty, is a master of couplets in people's minds. In the TV series, we see his talent and witty humor, especially good at using couplets to tease and Shen.
Back then, when Ji Xiaolan was still serving in the local government, he worked hard for many years in order to be transferred to the capital, and finally obtained the appointment certificate. On the way back to Beijing, he met a classmate and friend, and the two found a place to have a long talk.
Although they had to separate the next day, they decided to take the opportunity to make a couplet. Ji Xiaolan came out with a couplet: "Rats are called old regardless of size", this couplet makes use of people's daily calling habits, which is wonderful.
The friend of the classmate immediately came up with the following couplet: "The parrot is called brother by both male and female", which is also very exquisite. The two looked at each other and smiled, and each set foot on the way back to Beijing.
We all know that netizens have endless wisdom. Today, I found an uplink, and it's absolutely wonderful. Can you make the next couplet? The upper link is: "The bird is in the cage, the mind is in the nest, and the hate Guan Yu can't fly to Zhang Fei", this sentence comes from "Neijiang Sanyuan Pagoda Couplet", which is the most classic among many versions.
