There is a couplet on the door of the crematorium: how about the first couplet lamenting life and the second couplet?

As we all know, China has a long history and culture. Although many cultures have been lost in this long process of cultural development, fortunately, many cultures have also been preserved. For example, the Tang poetry and Song poetry recited by everyone every day when he was a child is an important part of China culture, and these cultural achievements belong exclusively to our country. I'm afraid people from other countries have no chance to be selected for these poems.

Couplet culture has a long history.

Poetry is a way for ancient literati to express their feelings, such as seeing friends off, missing relatives and singing praises to various things. Poetry is an important carrier for them to express their feelings. Even if people read some ancient poems now, they will easily feel their inner feelings when writing this poem. In fact, besides these ancient poems, there is another cultural form, which is also an important form of expression. This form must be familiar to everyone, that is, couplets.

Speaking of couplets, there will be such scenes in some TV dramas or movies with ancient themes. For example, in the movie "Tong Pak Hu Dian Qiu Xiang", there are many scenes of couplets, which shows that couplets are also an important way to express emotions in ancient times. Now, although people are not always idle, just like the ancients, almost every family will put up a couplet at the door during the New Year.

People admire this culture, because just two sentences and a horizontal criticism can easily express what the author wants to express. I have to say that the Chinese nation is really a smart nation and can create such a splendid culture. In addition, we also put some couplets on the doors of some temples for worship. It can be said that couplets can be posted anywhere, but they just express different meanings.

Couplets on the stage of Dayu Temple

For example, Dayu, the hero of our Chinese nation, went home three times to help people control water, and finally got people's respect. After his death, people built a temple dedicated to him, which lasted for thousands of years. In the course of so many years, people often praise his achievements. For example, one day two scholars were talking about Dayu's achievements on the way to worship him, and both of them were brilliant.

In this way, the two soon came to Dayu's temple. When they arrived, they found a strange phenomenon, that is, in the temple, couplets were posted in other places, but there were no couplets on the stage in the temple. So in order to compare the level, they decided that everyone should bring a couplet to this stage, and then ask an elder to judge the level. After their discussion, they began to devote themselves to showing their talents to each other.

As easy as blowing off dust, the first scholar quickly made the first part of this book, called "Play your heart left and right, scream the moon left, sing the wind right, and get to the left and right". The first part of the book perfectly combines the stage and scenery, and he is very satisfied with his first part. After listening to the first part, the second scholar didn't panic at all, thinking that such a first part also wanted to beat himself? So after thinking for a few seconds, I came up with the perfect couplet of "the rhyme of things in Dongyang, the rhyme of things in the spring and the snow in the west". This kind of couplet also embarrassed the seniors who were judges. After all, both of them are very agile and have a high level. How to choose this?

When the predecessors thought about who was better, the two scholars were very nervous and uneasy, fearing that the other side would surpass themselves, and they were both waiting for the evaluation results of their predecessors. The elder thought about it, and wrote a poem entitled "Double playing the sound of Luan, double playing Guan Feng, and double fighting into a school of its own". After listening to this sentence, the two learned scholars immediately understood the meaning, which meant to judge them both. Many people think that this senior is not good enough to judge who is better. In my opinion, this is the cleverness of this senior.

In fact, this practice of the predecessors is also very good, and the final result is also very good, because others are as tall as the two, and they have not lost face, but also praised them both for their erudition. Isn't this the best result? The steward of Dayu Temple was very happy when he learned about it. After all, he can get such good couplets for free, which is cheap and not white. So he put this couplet on this stage forever. After they knew it, they finally recognized each other and shook hands. Since then, this story has been widely circulated by later generations and has become a much-told story in Dayu Temple.

The couplets in the crematorium sparked heated discussions.

Nowadays, the culture of couplets is everywhere, and there are couplets in many places, especially during the Chinese New Year holidays, because it is an important way for people to express their feelings, such as restaurants, shopping malls, the doors of ordinary people, temples and other places, but there is also a special place where couplets will be posted, and this place is the crematorium.

In reality, there is such an interesting thing. There is such a couplet on the edge of a crematorium, which has caused controversy. Many people may say that the couplets in the crematorium must be the kind of couplets about the paradise where the deceased sleeps, otherwise it can be something else. But in fact, the couplets of this crematorium are not as simple as you think. Maybe everyone here is curious, so let's talk about it next.

This couplet is called "Come in early and come in late, come in sooner or later". It is a bit strange to look at this couplet at first, but it also reveals people's understanding of life and tells people to look down on everything, especially when facing life and death. The second joint name of this association is "first come, first come, first come", which also expresses the above meaning. In a word, this couplet teaches people to look down on life and death and live in the present.
