A couplet

There is a line in Tang poetry whose radical contains the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, which has not been understood for a long time. The sentence goes: The smoke locks the willows in the pond; in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Lingyi, the emperor of Wu Dynasty, asked Duke Yu to say to him in "Farewell to the Immortal Yuanzi": "Ji Su Chen Xianzhong." These five characters contain the five directions of east, west, south, north, and center, which means the five directions correspond to the five elements. In addition, Chen Zisheng wrote three couplets in his "Zhongzhou Caotang Collection", which are contained in four "Liu Bo Qu" poems. All are based on the five elements versus the five elements. One of them is: the lamp hangs down the brocade threshold. The poem where it is located is: "The smoke locks the willows in the pond, and the lantern hangs on the brocade threshold. The echoes are dancing for the first time, and the willows are broken and I hear the song." "Dadikou." Generally speaking, if the antithesis in the poem is not used alone, it should not be regarded as a couplet. However, Chen said in the preface to the two poems: "The guest used the five characters of 'Yansuo Pond Liu' with five lines and the remainder as a couplet, which resulted in the two songs of "Liu Bo Qu", which are in line with those who do good things." It can be seen that "Leng" "Cuijin Jianbo" is specially made for "Yangsuo Pond Willow" and is relatively independent, so it is read here as a couplet. Lamp hanging down is also called "lamp filling". The second one is: The beacon sales are extremely bad. The poem in which it is located is: "The smoke locks the willows in the pond, and the beacon pins are blocked by the Hong. The east branch stops the spring water, and the south wing complains about the autumn wind." (Sequel to "The Song of Locking the Willows and Killing the Hong") The third part is: The bell sinks the pavilion lantern. The poem where it is located is: "The smoke locks the willows in the pond, and the clock sinks into the pavilion lantern. The lantern core is densely red, and the willow eyes are green and clear." ("Smoke locks sinking in the willows") "Qiao Dui Xulu" contains a poem about a local and a warrior. Two couplets. The sentence goes: Autumn is full of pines in the valley. Wu Juyun said: Cannon Zhenhaicheng Tower. For more than two hundred years, the couplet Wu Tu has been the most popular, and seems to have become the recognized standard couplet of "Smoke Locks the Pond Willow". According to "Xiao Doupeng", Jing Zhirong from Shanxi Province was famous for his talent when he was young. When she was three years old, her sister married in Guining, and her father ordered her to compose a poem, saying in response: "I went home the day before yesterday, and now I am back. How easy it is to change a sad face, and suddenly I feel smiling." His father ordered him to write a couplet of "Willows Locked in Ponds", Then he said to me: "The waves are warm and the peach trees on Jindi are warm." Nuan is a variation of "nuan", which is used next to "fire". There is also a pair of sentences in "Nanlou Essays" about Jiangsu, saying: "The artillery frame Zhenjiang City." The couplet collected in "Qing Bai Lei Chao" is: "Deng Shen Village Temple Bell." Modern people also have many couplets. "Ming Lian Fun Talk" said that twenty years ago, a professor at Peking University had a plan: to cook tea with a wall of springs. In the book, Mr. Liang Yusheng also introduced some other couplets of Lianyou. Chen Jingzhi has two sentences. One is: Beacon sales of desert elm. The second one is: Peach and Jinlangdi. Ji, originally refers to fiery charcoal, but this refers to red color. Luo Guangbin also has two sentences, and they are also contained in poems. One is: Hong Kong City Teppanyaki. Teppanyaki is a way of eating food. First heat the iron plate, immediately place fresh meat and vegetables on it, cover it and eat. The poem in which this sentence is located is "Appreciating Drinks in the Rotating Hall": "Smoke locks the willows in the pond, and the iron plate is grilled in the port city. The revolving hall is filled with green ants, and the scenery is carefree." The second one is: Tingpei Brocade Pillar Lamp. Ting, a small island in the water. Cui, cultivating the soil to plant lamp posts. This sentence comes from "Night Banquet at the White Swan Hotel": "Smoke locks the willows in the pond, and the lamps are decorated with brocade pillars. Inviting Zhuhai to the night, the wine glasses are full of wisdom." Chen Zhenglong has a saying, saying: The lanterns are inscribed with ink on the building. Ming, remember. Zhang Yaojun's couplet is: The lights are sold on the Shenzhen Bridge. In addition, there are also other people who have created the opposite work: Ashpile Zhenhai Tower. Mr. Mu Yu used "Swallow with mud in its head to build a nest". The four points below "Yan" can also be interpreted as "fire", and the "five elements" are complete, and can also be interpreted as a sentence of a five-character poem. The artistic conception is also good, but it is a pity that the word "chao" is not used. It belongs to the "wood" department. (The above is from an old article "Appreciation of Excellent Lei Couplets") 95 There are also sentences such as "Frost condenses on the lighthouse bell" and "Autumn covers the ground with maples", but they always match the effort, and rarely consider the difference between the couplets, because they know that the thunder couplets are Not easy.
