Change couplets and play the rich man

Once upon a time, there was a very overbearing rich man. But it is really interesting to say that he doesn't know a word, but he is most afraid of being told that he has no knowledge. So he pretends to be gentle everywhere, and all the calligraphy and paintings hanging at home are signed by his name. In fact, he paid someone to write it.

A few days before the Spring Festival, the rich man planned to show his "knowledge" in front of relatives and friends who came and went during the Spring Festival, so he called Mr. Xue from the village and asked him to help him write Spring Festival couplets. Although Mr. Xue was reluctant, he had to deal with it and forgot it with a stroke of the pen. Of course, I still want to read it to him.

This is an ancient Spring Festival couplets: the sky increases, the sun and the moon increase life, and the spring is full.

Just after reading it, the rich man got angry: "What? If the sky increases, people will live longer. How can we make everyone live a long life, even poor boys? You changed it for me. "

"How to change?"

"Change' Mother Longevity' and' My Mother Longevity'."

Mr Xue is in a bad mood. Hum, you are too overbearing. Well, I must play with you today. So he said, "boss, to tell you the truth, this couplet has to pay attention to antithesis, and the couplet above has to be changed." Otherwise, people will laugh. Who wrote this pair? Too ignorant. "

"Then you can change it, as long as my mother increases her life!"

"Boss, how to change, or you say."

The rich man said a little unhappily, "why are you so wordy?" As long as my mother extends her life, I don't care what you change. " Say that finish and left, he can't read, which know how to fight. Mr. Xue then picked up a brush to brush, and a revised Spring Festival couplets was written.

On the first day of New Year's Day, relatives and friends who come to the rich man's house to pay New Year's greetings come in and out, which is very lively. Anyone who knows a few words will have a stomachache when they see this couplet on the gate.

It turns out that this revised Spring Festival couplets is written like this:

Tian Zeng, Sun Moon, Niang, Longevity, Man Chun, Gankun, and Dad.

Once upon a time, there was a family named Zhang, whose ancestors were all scholars: grandfather was a scholar; Father is a juren; I was admitted to Gong Sheng again this year. It can be said that shine on you is better than Blue, and each generation is stronger.

One Spring Festival, he wrote a pair of couplets and posted them on both sides of his gate, saying: The gate faces a thousand bamboo poles, and his home is hidden in the thousands of books. When Yang Caizhu, a local, learned about this incident, she was very angry: "Why did the Zhang family use my Yang Jiazhu as a couplet? It's outrageous. " In winter, Yang Man, a rich man, deliberately had the bamboo 3 feet off the ground in front of Zhangjiawu, leaving only a bamboo head. He thought to himself: By the Spring Festival next year, his family will not be able to use my Yang family's bamboo as couplets.

When the Spring Festival came the next year, the Zhang family still posted the couplets on both sides of the gate, only adding the word "short" to the back of the first couplet and the word "long" to the back of the second couplet, and this couplet was changed into a six-character couplet with a short door and a long book. Rich Yang Man became even angrier when he learned about it. He immediately had all the bamboo in the whole mountain cut down, leaving a bare barren hill.

In the Spring Festival of the third year, the Zhang family continued to post this couplet, adding a word "abandon" after the first couplet and a word "save" after the second couplet. This couplet was changed into a seven-character couplet, and thousands of copies were kept in the family forever.

In the old society, thieves were like feathers. Watchmen are set up in many places, and gates are built on street corners to be guarded by watchmen. Every year during the Spring Festival, families take turns posting Spring Festival couplets.

One year, it was Wang's turn to post Spring Festival couplets. He bought a pair of Spring Festival couplets and posted them at the gate on New Year's Eve. Lian Yue:

Peace needs no drums, and prosperity needs no doors.

Because uncle Wang can't read, he posted the couplet upside down. The first part is kotaro oshio's "door" and the second part is kotaro oshio's "drum". At that time, posting the wrong couplets was as unlucky as the goalkeeper.

It's getting late, I can't open it, I can't buy it. Everyone in the alley is talking about it. At this time, it happened that the old gentleman in the private school passed by and people begged him to write a couplet for him. The old man frowned and twisted his beard. He looked at it for a while and said, "If you can, shovel the last word in the couplet!" "

People dealt with it according to law. The seven-character Spring Festival couplets became six-character couplets, the bottom couplets became "no need to build a gate in prosperous times", the bottom couplets became "no need to knock on peace", and the word "more" was kotaro oshio, with a dull voice but unchanged meaning, which was passed down as a much-told story. Namely:

? Prosperity does not need to cover the brakes, and peace does not need to knock.

Wang Jishan, a rich man, is also illiterate. He heard people say his couplets:

The rich man is full of gold and silver, and the rich man is endless.

Even if I get stuck, I will learn from Mr. Xue's method and shovel out the last "yes" and "poor" of the upper and lower parts, and the result will become:

? A rich man accumulates gold and silver, but a good man does not accumulate gold and silver.

This led to jokes and laughter all over the country.

Once upon a time, there was a rich man who was cruel to long-term workers, buddies and even teachers. Not only is there a shortage of rice, oil and salt for three meals a day, but even the agreed wages will be deducted and defaulted. Guys are extremely dissatisfied. This year's Spring Festival, the old rich man asked the teacher to say, "Please write a pair of Spring Festival couplets to show that our wine is good, acetic acid is big, pigs are big, rats are plague, and the people are rich." If you write well, I will send 10 silver running pen. "

? The teacher knows the rich man very well and always wants to take the opportunity to Doby him. After some consideration, I decided to take some pens and ink to show my scholar's skill in "punctuating sentences", so I wrote:

? Raising a pig is as big as a mouse, but it only makes bad wine. Every jar is suitable for vinegar.

? The horizontal criticism is: more people are ill and less money.

? After writing, read it to Cai Dong face to face and ask him if he can:

? Pigs are as big as elephants, but rats are just plagues.

? Do a good job in jars and vinegar jars.

? The horizontal recognition is: more people, less illness and more money.

The rich man was satisfied with this, but he was distressed 10. He wanted to find an excuse to cheat, so he smiled: "My request is basically correct, but my writing is not very good. For example, the phrase "raising pigs as big as elephants" is not as big as "raising pigs as big as mountains". So I will give you five taels of silver. " Mr. Wang smiled and said, "According to the rich man's wishes, it's no harm to change it to' raising pigs like mountains'." The boss reluctantly said, "I'll give you five taels of silver if you change it."

Those guys were very angry when they saw that the rich man was so stingy. They asked Mr. Wang not to write to him. Mr. Wang still smiled and said, "Then write as he wants. Let's drink two glasses of wine with these five taels of silver first. " By tomorrow, we won't even get five coppers. "

That night, Mr. Wang ordered some ink on the couplets.

? Early the next morning, many people read the couplets and laughed their heads off. The rich man found that the laughter was wrong and ran out to see that the original couplet was illuminated by ink dots, and the meaning was completely reversed:

? Raising pigs is as big as a mountain of rats, only plague.

? Brewing barrels are suitable for vinegar and acid tanks.

? The horizontal criticism is that there are many sick people, but less wealth.

? The rich realize that scholars are very powerful. He sighed and said, "As the saying goes, a word is worth a thousand dollars, so a little bit is worth thousands of dollars!" "

Zhu Zhishan, a gifted scholar in the Ming Dynasty, is humorous and often jokes, which makes people laugh and cry. One year, a rich man wanted to ask him to write a pair of Spring Festival couplets. Knowing that the rich man was stingy, Zhu Zhishan deliberately played tricks on him and ripped him off. Knowing Zhu Zhishan's temper, the rich man repeatedly said, "You can't joke during the Spring Festival. Write down your words in a lucky way. I'll treat you to tea in the New Year. " Zhu Zhishan readily promised, and then began to write a pair of Spring Festival couplets:

Tomorrow, every spring is unlucky;

It's bad luck all year round.

When the rich man saw it, he was very angry. He invited a famous gentleman in the city to "uphold" justice and meet Zhu Zhishan. The gentleman asked Zhu Zhishan why he cursed the rich at the Spring Festival couplets. Zhu Zhishan said, "I write all auspicious words. If there is a word cursing the rich, he will be punished. " The rich man quickly said, "If it's unlucky, you have to give me 1,200 pieces of silver. If the Spring Festival couplets are auspicious, I will give you 1,200 pieces of silver. " Zhu Zhishan said, "Well, it's a deal. Please be a witness. " Say that finish, picked up a pen and ordered two points on the couplet. Everyone saw it and couldn't help secretly exclaiming. The gentleman also appreciated Zhu Zhishan, picked up the Spring Festival couplets and read aloud:

Tomorrow spring is good, not bad;

Less luck and more money all year round.

Hearing this, the rich man was distressed and happy. I had to spend 1200 silver to paste Spring Festival couplets on the gate.

Once upon a time, there was a rich man's grandfather, who was originally a scholar and thought he was superior. He has a feeling that "Heaven is king and I am two kings". On weekdays, he tried his best to fish the people and dominate the market, but everyone around him was miserable and had no way to deal with him, so he had to bite his teeth. Later, the rich man spared no expense to let his son buy a Jinshi, which made him very happy.

Later, during a Chinese New Year, the rich man was very happy and planned to write a couplet to show off his joy in learning. The rich man took a pen and paper and wrote such a couplet with a stroke of a pen. The first couplet reads: "Father Jinshi, son Jinshi, father and son Jinshi", and then look at the second couplet: "The old lady, daughter-in-law and mother-in-law are all wives". Couplets are very simple, which means boasting about one's illustrious family background. The family around kowtowed to the rich man's master and cheered. The rich man was so happy that people posted couplets.

When the neighbors saw it, they dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak. It happened to be seen by a poor scholar passing by. The scholar knew the character of the rich man on weekdays, and it was really annoying to see such couplets again, so he quietly filled in several couplets, revised them, and then ran away. When people saw this couplet again the next day, they couldn't help laughing and clapping their hands. When the rich man later learned the news and saw the revised couplet, he immediately flew into a rage and immediately tore it to pieces. I saw the couplet changed to this. The first couplet reads: "Father returns to the land, son returns to the land, and both father and son return to the land." The second couplet reads: "A woman loses her husband, a daughter-in-law loses her husband, and a mother-in-law loses her husband."

Once upon a time, there was a rich man named Li. He eats fish and does all kinds of evil. People can say that they hate him. ?

In other words, the Spring Festival is one of our most important festivals. On New Year's Eve, every household is busy posting Spring Festival couplets. Not to mention the Li family. Li Man, a rich man, wrote a pair of Spring Festival couplets and posted them on both sides of the gate, clearly indicating the hunger and thirst of the rich:

Father Jackie Chan, son Jackie Chan, generation after generation Jackie Chan;

Parents are rich, children are rich, and generations are rich.

A poor scholar in the same village has long been disgusted with the rich man's wanton accumulation of money and has long wanted to vent his dissatisfaction. I saw him change a few words on the couplet and then quietly left.

At dawn the next day, a large crowd of onlookers surrounded Li Caizhu's house. People talked and laughed, and everyone praised: "Good change, good change!"

The noise outside naturally alarmed the rich Li Man. He thought people were praising his couplets, so he proudly opened the door. When he saw the couplets on the door, he immediately fainted on the steps in front of the door.

It turns out that the couplet on the door of the rich Li Man was changed by that scholar:

Father deaf, son deaf, deaf from generation to generation;

Father squanders money, son squanders money. Every generation has squandered money.

After reading this couplet, Li Caizhu was ill for more than a month, and everyone in the village applauded.
