Ji Xiaolan satirized Mr. Shi

Qing Dynasty writer Ji Xiaolan was smart and studious since childhood, and had a wide range of interests. His private school teacher, Mr. Shi, is a very old-fashioned scholar, and Xiaolan is very disgusted with him. One day, Xiaolan went to feed the house sparrow and dug a deep hole in the brick wall. After feeding the house finch, she returned it to the hole and blocked it with bricks to prevent it from flying away. Later, when Mr. Shi discovered it, he threw the house bird to death, returned it to the cave and sealed it, and wrote a couplet on the wall:

The fine-feathered poultry died after being bricked;

When Xiaolan went to feed the house bird again, she found that it was already dead. He was wondering when he suddenly saw a couplet on the wall. He concluded that it was Mr. Shi's work, so he continued to write the next couplet:

Mr. Shi, the rough-haired beast.

Mr. Shi was very angry when he saw it. He felt that Xiaolan should not insult the teacher, so he used the pointer to question Xiaolan. I saw Xiaolan explain calmly that I wrote it according to the first couplet of my husband. Where there is 'fine' there must be 'thick', where there is 'feather' there must be 'hair', where there is 'home' there must be 'wild', where there is 'bird' there must be 'beast', where there is 'brick' there must be 'stone'. If there is 'after', there must be 'first', and if there is 'death', there must be 'life'. So, I wrote Mr. Rough Beast Stone. If it shouldn’t be written like this, please rewrite it. "

Mr. Shi twirled his beard and thought for a long time, but could not come up with a satisfactory second couplet. Finally, he sighed helplessly, threw down the pointer and walked away.

Interesting Dumb Couplet

After Su Dong was demoted to Huangzhou, he lived there for several years. One evening, he and his friend monk Foyin were boating on the Yangtze River. Su Shi suddenly pointed to the left bank with his hand, and Foyin looked at it without saying a word. When I went there, I saw a yellow dog gnawing on a bone. I suddenly realized something and threw the cattail leaf fan with Su Dongpo's poem in my hand into the water. The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

It turned out that this was something. A dumb couplet. Su Shi's first couplet means:

The dog gnaws the (monk's) bones on the river;

The second couplet of Buddha's seal means:

The water flows eastward. Corpse (Dongpo's poem).

Old Landlord's Modification of Old Couplets

According to legend, there was such an old landowner who was proficient in writing and very fond of arty style. Birthday celebrations were held, with lanterns hung and colorful decorations. I wanted to post a red couplet at the door, but I couldn't bear to spend money to hire someone to write it, so I asked the accountant to post the common couplet "The sky increases, the sun and the moon increase people's life, and spring brings happiness to the whole world." "Write it out and stick it on the door. While the accountant was writing, the old landowner suddenly remembered that this was a birthday celebration for his mother, and it should be changed to be relevant. So he asked the accountant to change the first couplet to:

The sky increases the sun and the moon increases the life of the mother;

The old landlord was very proud of it. However, since the first couplet had been changed, the second couplet should also be changed accordingly to make it neat. For:

The whole house is full of spring.

After hearing this, Mr. Accountant was really dumbfounded and asked in surprise: "My boss, this change is not possible!" The old landlord said seriously: "You know nothing!" Isn't 'Dad' very neat to 'Mom'? "

Ji Xiaolan was quick in thinking and good at speaking. After reading the couplet, his friend was convinced and praised him as a unique talent from the north. Xiaolan disagreed and said: "There are talented people in the north all over the Great Wall. How can I start talking about this?" "My friend said: "I once traveled north, and when I came out with a couplet, everyone waved their hands.

Xiaolan was dubious and asked, "How difficult is it for me to say a sentence?" "My friend said: "General. "Then, he read the first couplet:

He was a native of Sanyuan County and later moved to Yunnan. He hated The officialdom of the Qing Dynasty was dark and corrupt, he did not participate in the imperial examination, and he lived in poverty all his life, and his later life was even worse. The couplet he wrote in the Grand View Tower is deeply meaningful and loved by people:

Five hundred miles of Dianchi Lake rushes into his eyes, and his life is even worse. On the shore, I am happy to see the vast sky and boundless space. Look at the divine horses in the east, the spiritual instruments in the west, the meandering dragons in the north, and the plains in the south. If you are a wise man, you might as well take advantage of the Xie Island and Luo Island to see the Phoenix. The misty hair on the hair, the sky and the reed land are dotted with some green feathers and red clouds. Don't live up to the fragrant rice, the vast hectares of clear sand, the nine summer hibiscus, and the three spring willows;

The past of thousands of years is in my heart. , Drinking wine, who is the hero? I think of the Han Dynasty, the iron pillars in the Tang Dynasty, the jade ax in the Song Dynasty, the great achievements in the Yuan Dynasty, the effort to move the mountains and the painted buildings, but they can't catch up with Mu Yu. When facing the clouds, the ruins of the stele are broken, but only a few pestles and scattered bells, half a river of fishing fire, two rows of autumn geese, and a pillow of clear frost are left behind to frighten the demons<. /p>

At the end of the 19th century, the Eight-Power Allied Forces launched a crazy aggressive war against our country and successively occupied Tianjin and Beijing. It was said that the corrupt Qing government had no ability to resist and sued for peace before the "Peace Conference" began. , a representative of a certain country wanted to insult the Chinese people, so he said to the representative of the government: "Couplets are a unique literary form of your country.

"When the representative of the Qing government did not comment, he blurted out the first couplet:

The eight great kings of the pipa, the harp, and the harp, the kings are above;

In the fourth chapter of the "pipa, the harp, the harp" Above the word "***" there are eight characters for "王", which are used to refer to the "Eight-Nation Alliance". At the same time, they are also used to show off the arrogance of the conquerors. After hearing this, the other imperialists present invariably let out a burst of laughter. There was a burst of laughter. Some of the representatives of the Qing government were laughing blankly; some were speechless but had no words to answer; the chief representative was even more confused and dizzy. Here, only one secretary in the delegation could be seen. Member, put down his pen and answered with a sonorous voice:

The four little ghosts, ghosts and ghosts are on the sidelines.

"The ghosts and monsters" are four kinds of monsters that can harm people in legend. The conjunction is unfair. The confrontation was smooth, and the imperialists were sternly condemned in a contemptuous tone for their crimes of frequently violating our country's sovereignty like harmful "little devils". After hearing this, the other representatives breathed a sigh of relief; after hearing this, the invaders were all stunned. The provocative gentleman was dumbfounded after hearing this, and had no choice but to squat and kowtow to the north, causing a roar of laughter.
