Who can tell me the story of ancient celebrity couplets?

In October of the 27th year of Qianlong, 39-year-old Ji Xiaolan left Beijing to study politics in Fujian. Reading thousands of books and taking Wan Li Road is undoubtedly the turning point of Hanlin's career. Ji Xiaolan, go to heaven. Boarding the bus, he took a boat to Jinan and walked south along the canal. The mountains and rivers are beautiful all the way, and he keeps writing and reciting poems. Later, he also published a collection of essays entitled "Southbound Miscellanies". Legend has it that Ji Xiaolan met an old man who also went south by boat and gave him a note: "I think you must be a scribe and have a pair of couplets. If you succeed, our ship will stay away from you. If you can't get out, you have to be wronged behind the house. " The first part of the old man is:

The two boats are parallel, and rowing is not as fast as sailing.

This is a semantic double association. "Sculling speed" refers to Lu Su, a famous civil servant in the Three Kingdoms, and "Sailing fast" refers to Fan Kuai, a famous warrior in the Western Han Dynasty. He has a single hand in writing and martial arts, which just constitutes a double meaning. On the surface, it means that rowing is not as good as sailing, and the implication is that writing is not as good as martial arts. Ji Xiaolan knew that this pair of couplets was difficult to match, and he couldn't help thinking hard. As a result, he let the old man sail away. After he arrived in Fuzhou, he presided over the college entrance examination and the music roared. Ji Xiaolan touched the scene and came up with the bottom allied:

Eight tones are played together, and the flute is clearer than the flute.

"Di Qing" alludes to Di Qing, a great Northern Song Dynasty star, and "Xiao He" alludes to Xiao He, the prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty. It's also a pun. Writing is better than martial arts, and it's perfect.

Every year during the Lantern Festival, the imperial court goes to solve riddles on the lanterns as usual. On the palace lantern of Wenhua Temple, Ji Xiaolan asked Gan Long to guess a riddle couplet, each couplet should have a word. The riddle of this couplet is:

Black is not, white is not, red and yellow are not, just like foxes, wolves, cats and dogs, they are neither domestic animals nor wild animals;

There are also poems, words and Analects of Confucius, which are vague about east, west, north and south. Although it is a short product, it is a wonderful article.

Gan Long wanted to think, the bottom is unbreakable. He was embarrassed and had to ask the truth. Ji said: "solve riddles on the lanterns." Gan Long said, "I know this is a riddle, and now I want to ask you the answer." Ji added: "solve riddles on the lanterns." Ganlong is angry and ready to attack. When Ji saw something bad, he knew that he could no longer be a suspense, so he smiled and said, "Black, white, red, not green; If you are like a fox, a wolf, a cat or a dog, but not like a beast, it is a dog, and the combination of "dog" and "green" is "guess"; There are a lot of prophecies in The Analects of Confucius. The vagueness between east, west, north and south is a mystery, and the combination of prophecies and mysteries is a mystery. Although riddles are unpretentious sketches, they make people scratch their heads. Is it a wonderful article? Long live the Lord, who is known as' guessing boxing', and I want to interview the minister, which means that both the monarch and the minister are happy. "
