How to use homophones to write a composition

1. In ancient times, someone sent loquat to a county magistrate, but he misspelled it as "Pipa" on the gift list. The county magistrate smiled and said,' Loquat' is not a pipa, but I hate poor literacy! "A guest replied," If the pipa can bear fruit, all the pipes in the city will blossom. "

"Loquat" and "Pipa" tell us that there are many homophones in Chinese, so we can't use them indiscriminately, otherwise it will make a joke.

2. In ancient times, a candidate used the sentence of "I don't know what I think" in the Book of Songs as a text, but it was mistakenly written as "I think about my sister". The examiner approved: "Brother, you are wrong!"

One of Li Hongzhang's relatives took the exam, but this guy had no idea, so he wanted to rely on Li Hongzhang's power to get preferential treatment. So, he wrote on the examination paper: "I am a relative of nave." I want to write "Qi", but I have no choice but to search for it. I just can't remember how to write "Qi" and finally write it as "wife". To this end, the examiner approved: "So I dare not take it!"

In the above two cases, the examiner made full use of the characteristics of homophones and deliberately made mistakes, which received a tactful and humorous criticism effect.
