Wang Ruyang, a scholar in Anhui Province in Qing Dynasty, was handsome and witty. One day, Miss Xu of Xiangfu got married and went to live next to Wang Ruyang. Those who make trouble in the new house scream all day. Miss Xu, the bride, is very boring. With the golden dragon pattern and wick on tung oil lamp as the topic, she sang a couplet:

Red light is a dragon, and the dragon in the fire comes out of the water.

Miss Xu asked the maid to take a message. Without the bottom line, you can't come to the new house to make trouble. None of the guests was right, so Wang Ruyang was invited. Wang Ruyang heard the first part and saw the embroidered phoenix red silk shoes worn by Miss Xu, so she sang the second part:

Red shoes embroider a phoenix, and the phoenix in the sky lands.

When Miss Xu compared her to "Phoenix in the sky", she was overjoyed. Seeing that Wang Ruyang's speech is extraordinary, he has both talents and looks, so he wrote to ask Wang Ruyang to propose to his second sister.

After Wang Ruyang arrived at Xufu, Prime Minister Lao Xu hosted a "Fish and Sheep Banquet" for him. During the dinner, Xu Gong said, "I have heard a lot about scholars and talents, and I am willing to form an alliance to choose a husband." Wang Ruyang nodded and said, "Please ask Teacher Xiang to give a question and the students will study." The old prime minister sings:

The fish and sheep on the table are fresh.

When Wang Ruyang heard it, it was wonderful: when the two words "fish" and "sheep" are combined, it is a fresh word, followed by "fresh", which means "rare". The words "fish" and "sheep" have two meanings, so it really deserves to be a relative. While he was meditating, he suddenly heard a servant girl say to Miss Er outside the door, "Miss Er is so lucky. Miss Er recommended a second uncle with both talent and beauty. He is in the East Building, and he wants to get married with couplets! " Wang Ruyang looked inside and saw the figure of a woman passing by the window of the west wing. The bottom line came out:

The woman in front of the window is good.

Hearing this, the old prime minister cheered again and again. The word "female" and "zi" in couplets are beautiful "good", and the second sound is "good" of hobby, which means love. It is also a word with two sounds and two meanings, which is a good pair of integrated words. The old prime minister said happily, "Confucianism and Yang are really good husbands!"

The teacher sent couplets to recruit husbands.

A Da Qiao, two little Joe, three inches golden lotus, four inches waist, five percent, six boxes of colored powder, eight points nine points ten times as charming.

It takes seven students to cope with the recruitment of relatives, provided that the next link embeds ten cardinality in reverse order. Everyone thought hard, from morning until the moon came out, but they didn't get married, and six people came back one after another. The last one was about to leave when he suddenly heard the drums and suddenly realized the second part:

In September, the eight-point circle, seven scholars and six people, even four drums and three sounds, is a candidate.

Finally, a written marriage was reached, and both teachers and students were happy.

One day, two scholars who came to Beijing to take the exam crossed the river. The ferryman was about to anchor the ferry when suddenly a pregnant woman called and waited. He also wants to make a transition on the boat ... Seeing that this woman looks a little colored, the ferryman becomes playful. So he said to the three people in the boat, let's write poems. Whoever does a good job, I won't charge him for the boat. If you can't do it well, don't ferry. Two scholars said: Why is it difficult? Only pregnant women can't bear it. So the ferryman did the same thing first:

My pole is sharp and my boat is round. Cross over to make a living and make money.

Scholar A: I have a sharp pen and a round inkstone. If there is a god in writing, it must be a literary champion.

Scholar B: I have a sharp arrow and a bow. The playground won the first place and the Wushu champion was appointed.

Intra-abdominal pregnancy and dryness

Everyone was frightened, and the county magistrate was surprised. He asked, "What is Gankun?" Wei Yuan replied, "Heaven and earth are called Gankun. Having eaten these two wheat cakes in my arms, I have to consider world events ... "The magistrate nodded repeatedly and praised him for his youth, intelligence and ambition.

Wei Yuan was not only clever, but also cheerful, and hated evil from an early age. In his hometown, there was a shameless and incompetent juren who copied other people's poems. Once, eleven-year-old Wei Yuan exposed him, which made him angry and wanted revenge. One day, he found Wei Yuan and claimed to oppose Wei Yuan. A juren pointed to the candle in the lantern and made a couplet:

Candle dipped in oil, one heart in candle, fire in heart;

Wei Yuanyong voice should way:

Paper lanterns, however strong the cage is, have no beads in their eyes.

Juren scold, refused to give up, said angrily:

Liu Yi became angry and eventually became a dragon.

Once upon a time, there was a poor scholar named Liu Yi. His father died when he was a child, and he was brought up by his mother in the hard work of spinning and weaving.

At the age of 20, Liu Yitong passed the provincial examination. I should have continued studying for my future career. But forced by poverty, I have to study at home. Soon, after being introduced, he went to a neighboring village to run a Mongolian museum, collected several tuition fees and chatted to make a living.

There is a rich man named Cui near the Mongolian Museum. He has a daughter named A Xiang, 18. She is small and lovely, and often comes outside the Mongolian Museum to listen to the teacher. After a long time, love sprouted.

In that society, marriage is about matching families. The rich man, Cui Jian, was poor, and the cursed toad wanted to eat swan meat and said:

Spiders have webs, but they can't catch birds.

Liu Yi retorted:

Earthworms want to become dragons without horns.

Liu Yi was hit, and he became more angry after studying. Three years later, he took the exam in Beijing and was awarded the highest prize by the emperor. On this day, riding a burly horse, wearing a scarlet robe and their jobs, I came to Cui's house and ran into it. A Xiang waited for his sweetheart, and they told each other. It turns out that in the past three years, the rich man Cui has tried to marry her many times and has been waiting. All shall be well, Jack shall have Jill.

Kuhan Confucian couplets

It is a very unfortunate thing that most Confucian scholars engaged in education in ancient times lived a bitter life, but they were poor and happy. From the couplets they left behind, this misfortune and their aspirations were fully reflected.

One couplet wrote: "There is no felt on the seat, and it is warm and happy inside; There is a valley in front of the door, and whoever has pity on his eyes is hungry. " This is the life portrayal of most teachers. "Four lamps, a single layer of paper, brilliant, shining in the southeast and northwest; One year of study, eight hanging money, hard work, through spring, summer, autumn and winter. " It reflects the poverty and hardship of teachers' life in more detail.

During the Qianlong period, a poor scholar who taught in Tongcheng posted a couplet on the door: "Half a hut lives, stand next to me and sit next to me;" A few radishes live, the food is it, and the rice is it. "Love couplets, express your feelings.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there was a teacher in Zongyang who posted a couplet at his door during the New Year: "fame, career and articles are hopeless at this age; Laugh, be sad, be angry, and come back next year. " Feelings in humor, seriousness in humor, and whimsy.

Not only is the average teacher so bad, but the situation of the scholar is not much better. In the Qing Dynasty, a teacher named Li Biyu (the top scholar in the county) wrote a couplet: "The rainy night is sad, and the banana window lights up half a cold lamp, which will change things for the students." Looking back in the autumn wind, Guiyuan left a bald pen to find daily necessities for the whole family. "From the couplets, I saw the image of a cold Confucian, and his eyes were full of bitter tears.

Another scholar wrote a couplet: "throw your weight around and look at each other through the window;" I am extremely extravagant and want to buy half a catty of tofu with a basket. "The first part of the league said that the scholar was also an official, but he had no prestige at all. If he stares at the doorman through the window, he will be arrogant. The bottom line is that it is a luxury to buy half a catty of tofu with a basket. On the surface, it is self-deprecating, but in fact it contains a lot of grievances and bitterness!

Interest in Dragon Boat Festival couplets

The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the Dragon Boat Festival, also called Duanyang Festival, which is a traditional folk festival in China. Here are some wonderful couples related to the Dragon Boat Festival (Duanyang) for readers to enjoy.

Zhu Yuanzhang was good at couplets. One year during the Dragon Boat Festival, he gave a banquet in honor of ministers. During the dinner, a pair of couplets was made, saying, "Duanmen North, Wumen South, and the court gave a banquet on the Dragon Boat Festival." The combination of "Duan" and "Wumen South" in the first part of the couplet is just the "Dragon Boat Festival" in the "Dragon Boat Festival given by the imperial court", so it is difficult to continue the second part. At this time, Shen Ying, one of the ministers, thought for a moment and said to him, "The spring list comes first, the autumn list comes last, and the candidates in the examination hall are in spring and autumn." In the Ming Dynasty, Chunbang, also known as Jiabang, selected Jinshi. Autumn list, also known as b list, b list takes people. The second part compares the Dragon Boat Festival in the first part with the Spring and Autumn Table. At the same time, "spring" and "autumn" synthesize "spring" and "autumn", which corresponds to the Dragon Boat Festival in the first part. It can be said that the answer is clever and appropriate.

One year during the Dragon Boat Festival, a scholar of Lu Yu, a great painter in Ming Dynasty, recited a antithetical couplet and said, "In the first half of the year, the sun will rise in the middle of the year." The first day and the second day of the lunar calendar are in the middle of the first day and the tenth day respectively, and there are four overlapping parts in the couplet. Wen Zhiming casually responded: "On May 5, September 9, Duanyang Chongyang." The beauty lies in the fact that the upper and lower couplets are natural, without showing a scratch. No wonder the scholar gave him a high five with admiration.

According to legend, in ancient times, there was a talented person named Chen who often opposed and entertained a talented person named Li. One year during the Dragon Boat Festival, they passed by a lake. The talented person named Sang Chen said, "Dragon Boat Festival in the daytime, see Chongyang at the end of Qingming Festival." Not to be outdone, the gifted scholar surnamed Li blurted out: "It's freezing in the cold, and the first frost is flying over the eaves." Two people can't help but smile at one another. The first couplet skillfully embeds the three solar terms of Dragon Boat Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day and Double Ninth Festival. The second couplet cleverly embeds the names of three seasons: Great Cold, First Frost and Light Snow. Cold weather and warm sun, vivid image, beautiful artistic conception, have a special taste.

There is a folk couplet describing this festival, which says: "People enjoy the afternoon on the Dragon Boat Festival, and tourists who start in spring travel in spring." There are activities such as making zongzi, hanging calamus and dragon boat race on the Dragon Boat Festival. At noon, every family has a holiday, which is very lively. Shanglian Zhengdao shows the atmosphere of folk celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival. After the beginning of spring, spring returned to the earth, and people went out for a walk in search of spring. The second part describes the scene of folk spring outing at this time. At the same time, the "three afternoons" in the first part of the league match the "three springs" in the second part of the league, which is naturally smooth and interesting.

It is said that once upon a time, a teenager learned a lot. Within a year, he should take an examination of boys before the Dragon Boat Festival and take an examination of provinces after the Double Ninth Festival. Both exams passed smoothly, so someone wrote a couplet to celebrate, saying, "Before the Dragon Boat Festival, my wife called herself Yue; After Chongyang, the gentleman did not say anything. " At first glance, this couplet is difficult to understand. In fact, the second half of the couplet comes from the Analects of Confucius and My wife calls herself a lad, omitting the "lad". The second half sentence of the second part of the couplet comes from The Analects of Confucius, Wei Linggong, in which "a gentleman is beyond words" and "words" is omitted. In this way, we can understand that the content of this couplet is: Before the Dragon Boat Festival, you were a boy, and after the Double Ninth Festival, you became a juren. The couplet is appropriate and original. Recommended reading: interesting couplet stories

Couplets in bean sprouts shop

One day, when Xiao Bubu and Grandpa were visiting the market, they saw a bean sprout shop in the market. In order to attract customers, they posted a pair of couplets on both sides of the shop door.
