How should I write couplets and what issues should I pay attention to?

There are basically three things:

First of all, the artistic conception must be coordinated, and it must be related to the first couplet. There are only two types of relationships, one is "connection" and the other is "opposition". For example: you talk about flowers and birds, I can either deal with fish and insects, or with eagles and dogs, but not with a pole or the sun... In addition, if you choose " If you are in confrontation, it is best to overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum.

Secondly, you must pay attention to the number of words, rhythm and part of speech. The number of words and rhythm must be consistent. Generally speaking, part of speech is word to word, word to word, noun to noun, verb to verb, etc... For example, you go up The first couplet said "come to the table to eat", and the second couplet said "go out to smoke". The most important thing to note is that some words can be used as nouns or verbs. The same word overlaps or appears at intervals but is used in different ways. Pay special attention to the correct usage.

Finally, pay attention to tone and rhythm. This is the most difficult. Some of the hidden "mechanisms" in the first couplet, such as "One, two, three, four, five, go up the mountain to fight the tiger." "Five" and "tiger" have the same rhyme, so you should also pay attention to these two when you join the next sentence. The characters must have the same rhyme... and the oblique and oblique characters must be opposite. Generally, as long as the rhyme (the last character) is the same, it is enough.

Why are some couplets called "absolute"? It is because the first couplet is not only profound, lofty and coherent, but also has many "mechanisms" between the words, which are interlocking and interlocking. If you follow his structure, there are basically no words left to use... For example: "Seventy-two sages in Xingtan, sages and saints. Twenty-eight generals in Yuntai, generals will be made marquises." There are also some couplets. The author will design his own lock words, for example: "Smoke locks willow on the pond". This couplet hides the changes of the five elements - fire, metal, water, earth and wood. You have to hide the five elements to get through. You want to get it right and the order can't be messed up. For example: "Haicheng Tower with Cannons" is also composed of fire, metal, water and earth and wood. The only drawback is that Haicheng Tower is unique, and there are ponds and willows everywhere. So what I got right is "烽 sells the flood ground bar". "Gang" is a polyphonic word, taking the sound of "gang", which means flagpole.

These factors have led some friends to rush into action without seeing through the alliance, which will inevitably make people laugh...

The above are my personal opinions, just to help newcomers. If there are omissions and fallacies, please ask all experts. No jokes.
