Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, likes to write couplets, but every time he just posted them, others stole them. On New Year's Eve, he came up with a clever way to prevent "thieves": he posted this couplet on the door:

Felicity never paired off.

When it rains, it pours/Misfortunes never come singly

The thief walked up to Wang Zhai and shook his head. In the early morning of the first day, Wang Xizhi continued three words at the end of the couplet, which became a masterpiece with full salary:

Happiness has not doubled until now.

It never rains but it pours.

This legendary "skill" is obviously not credible-because the first Spring Festival couplets did not appear until the Five Dynasties. But the story is very interesting, and the couplets are also very artistic and worth appreciating.

Wang Yucheng, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, was born in a poor family when he was a child. He often helped adults to grind noodles after school. /kloc-when he was 0/2 years old, an expert asked him to make a couplet on grinding noodles. Wang Yucheng said:

But match the heart.

It's too late to worry.

When the local satrap gave a banquet, he improvised:

Parrots can talk like chickens.

The guests were full of answers and the news spread the next day. Wang Yucheng know, immediately to the next sentence:

Spiders are not as clever as silkworms.

Lv Mengzheng, a Song Dynasty man, was indignant at the serious inequality between the rich and the poor at that time. One Spring Festival, a poor man asked him to write a pair of Spring Festival couplets. Lu wrote:

Two three four five

Six seven eight nine

Banner: North and South

After the Spring Festival couplets were posted, countless people gathered around. Everyone began to feel "strange" and then called it "wonderful". The beauty of this pair of Spring Festival couplets lies in its external meaning: the first couplet is short of one, and the second couplet is short of ten, which is the homonym of "lack of clothes and food": the horizontal comment of "North and South" means "nothing". The author uses a unique rhetorical device to describe the plight of the poor.

Yan Shu, a poet of the Song Dynasty, took a nap in daming temple when he passed Yangzhou. He came across a poem written on the wall. Upon inquiry, he knew that the author was a local, so he invited Wang to dinner. After supper, they took a walk by the swimming pool. It's late spring, and fallen flowers are everywhere. Yan Shu said, "Sometimes I think of a good sentence. For example, I once said,' I can't help falling down', and I haven't come up with the next couplet yet. " Wang Qi replied, "I have known Yan for a long time." Soon, this couplet was written by Yan Shu in her word "Huanxisha? A new word, a glass of wine, has become a famous sentence through the ages.

Kou Zhun, a famous figure in the Northern Song Dynasty, and all his friends traveled in the suburbs. On a whim, they made a sentence:

The moon under water is the moon in the sky.

All my friends didn't answer correctly. Yang Danian just arrived and said:

The person in the eyes is the person in front of me.

All the friends cheered in unison.

6、

Gong's father is good at speaking, and Wang Anshi made a sentence to give it a try:

Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties

Liu told yue:

Ode to elegance in four poems

Wang Anshi applauded: "This place is made in heaven!" The beauty of antithesis is that it sums up "ode to elegance" with "four-character poem": because "elegance" in The Book of Songs can be divided into "elegance" and "elegance", when combined with "wind" and "ode", it just becomes "four-character poem".

Mei is famous for her poems, but after 30 years of ups and downs, she has not been reused. In his later years, he was invited by Ouyang Xiu to participate in the compilation of Tang Shu. After the manuscript was written, it was not presented to the emperor, and Mei died, which made the literati lament. Previously, when Mei was ordered to write the Book of the Tang Dynasty, he once said to his wife Diao Shi:

My book can also be described as a monkey in a cloth bag.

DiaoShi laughed.

You are an official. What's the difference between catfish and bamboo poles?

Although it is a daily conversation between husband and wife, it naturally becomes a bond, and everyone who hears it applauds.

Su Shi has always been a snob. Wang Anshi, the prime minister, attached great importance to Su Shi's talent, but felt that he should be killed. One year, the first month and December are beginning of spring, and August is another leap month. Wang Anshi took this as the topic and asked Su Shi to answer correctly:

One year on earth, two spring months, two August, two spring and autumn.

Su Shi thought hard for days, but he couldn't answer. It was not until hundreds of years later that an anonymous person reluctantly made the bottom line (tolerance):

Sixty-year-olds will meet again on Sunday, and the world will meet again.

One day, Su Dongpo invited Huang Tingjian to visit his home. Huang went to the door, Sue was busy going out to meet him, and they chatted under the willow tree by the door. Su Xiaomei, who is catching lice by the window, said:

Brother invited two moons outside the door.

Su Dongpo smiled and said:

My little sister caught half the wind at the window.

Press: "bimonthly" means "friend" and "half wind" means "louse".

One night, Su Dongpo said to Su Xiaomei, "I'm going out for the first part. Please spend the night in the second part." Sui yue:

Narcissus holds the Hosta, and the sound is slow before the wind.

Su Xiaomei struggled for a long time, unable to answer. Because "Water Fairy", "Hosta" and "Slow Voice" are all epigrams, it is really difficult to draw a scene at the same time. Looking for it, I suddenly saw the maid bringing dining tables in the moonlight. Su Xiaomei had a brainwave and came to the bottom allied:

Yu Meiren, wearing a Hong Xiuxie, attracts Bu Bujiao under the moon.

Publisher: Yu Meiren, Hong Xiuxie and Bu Bujiao are also the names of the inscriptions.

During his tenure in Hangzhou, Su Dongpo often traveled around. One day, when he was traveling to Mo Qian in casual clothes, he came to the temple to relax. Seeing his simple clothes, the old man in the temple regarded him as an ordinary tourist and said coldly, "Sit down!" " He shouted at the street boy, "Tea!" During the conversation, the Taoist priest found that the visitor was quite knowledgeable, so he went into the wing to talk and said, "Please sit down!" He called again, "Tea!" When he finally learned that the visitor was Su Dongpo, the old Taoist bowed and asked him to sit in the living room! . Entering the living room, the Taoist priest bowed down and said, "Please sit down!" He also ordered the Taoist boy: "Go to the fragrant tea!" When he left, the Taoist priest repeatedly asked Dongpo to leave "Mo Bao". Dongpo wrote a book with a smile:

Please sit down, please sit down, please sit down.

Tea, tea, tea.

I feel ashamed after reading it.

Fo Yin and Su Dongpo, monks of Jinshan Temple, have always been very friendly. They often play jokes on each other when they meet. One night, they were boating on the Yangtze River. The boat is windy and windy, and drinking on the moon. After three rounds of wine, Fo Yin asked Dongpo, and Dongpo pointed to the riverbank, smiling without a word. Fo Yin followed the hope, but saw a farmer carrying a hoe back to the village on the shore, and a yellow dog was walking behind him, gnawing at a leftover bone. Fo Yin had an epiphany on Dongpo, but he smiled and threw a big cattail leaf fan with Dongpo's poems in his hand into the water. The two men understood each other and smiled at each other. It turns out that they made a delicate and humorous pun "dumb couplet" with "body language":

Dogs gnaw at river bones (monks)

Poem of flowing water Dongpo (corpse) (Fo Yin antithesis)

14、

One day, Fo Yin and Dongpo talked about Buddhism. Su Xiaomei, who was lying behind the curtain, saw Fo Yin's fantastic interpretation of Buddhism and wanted to be "quiet" with the monk, so she posted a question and ordered the maid to show it to Su Dongpo. Dongpo looked at it and said with a clear voice, The first part is:

Man used to be a monk, but he can become a Buddha.

Dongpo handed the first part to Fo Yin, and Fo Yin thought for a moment, and then made the second part:

Women are as humble as handmaiden, and women can be called slaves.

This is an "analytical couplet", which is very clever.

According to legend, Liang Hao, a poet of the Song Dynasty, failed many times, still held his breath and studied hard, and finally won the top prize at the age of 82. In the thank-you table for the emperor, Liang Hao attached a humorous couplet:

White head with poor menstruation, eight years old.

It takes more than two years to embark on the road of Qingyun.

This couplet uses two historical allusions: Fu Chengming, a senior teacher in the Han Dynasty, was 90 when he was born, and Jiang Shang (Taigong) was 80 when he assisted Zhou Wenwang. It is very appropriate for the author to express his feelings of being old and successful.

16、

Hong Pingzhai, a poet in the Song Dynasty, likes to use the word "gang" in his articles. One year, he wrote to the emperor to impeach the prime minister of the dynasty, saying that he was monopolizing power and taking bribes. There is a sentence in the throne: "abuse power for personal gain, abuse power for personal gain." As a result, instead of "bringing down" the prime minister, he was jealous by the prime minister and stayed idle for ten years. Hong Pingzhai was so angry that he wrote a couplet at home:

I don't understand the word "Hu Zhi"

Just because "just" ten years of leisure.

You Mao, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, has a friendly relationship with Yang Wanli. During the reign of Xi Chun, Yang Ren's secretary supervisor, especially TaiChangQing, often looked down. They are humorous and like to play jokes on each other. When I met you once, I said to Yang, I take the Book of Changes as the upper part, please make the lower part.

Yang Wei wo

Yang Wanli should track:

This stunning woman can touch Yi's feelings very much.

"Yang is for me" and "stunner is moving" are both sentences in pre-Qin classics. The two poets skillfully quoted them as conjunctions, and "You" and "Yang" were their surnames respectively. Such a couplet really needs to learn to "bottom".

18、

According to legend, Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, visited Ma Yuan, and Judy (his fourth son) served with Zhu Yunwen (his eldest grandson). Mao made a sentence:

The wind blows thousands of ponytails.

Zhu Yunwen told yue:

The rain sprinkled wool on the blanket.

Mao thinks this is "weakness". Judy told yue:

Rizhao Longlin Wandianjin

The latter pair of sentences is much more powerful than the former one. Later, Judy replaced Zhu Yunwen and moved the capital from Nanjing to Beijing. Perhaps "Ma Yuan's response" has shown that the emperor's grandson is no match for the prince.

When Xu Xi was young, he became an official. When he returned to his hometown, local officials led students to meet him in the suburbs. Students don't respect, because they are not from the subject, local officials are very angry and say:

In the Ming Dynasty, Gao Zecheng was known as a "child prodigy". At the age of seven, one day, Gao Zecheng came home from school in a green robe. He met the neighbor of Shangshu, who was sincere:

The frog wears a green coat and looks forward to it.

Then honestly see the minister in red, that is, answer:

Falling soup is wearing a red robe and bowing.

Hearing this, Shangshu repeatedly marveled at the "terrible afterlife". "Eyes looking forward" and "Bowing like a bow" are two sentences in The Book of Songs and The Analects of Confucius respectively. It really takes knowledge and talent to quote them quickly in improvisation.

Yu Qian, a famous minister in the Ming Dynasty, was brilliant when he was young. A monk saw that Xiao Yuqian had a double bun, so he joked:

Niutou is happy to have a dragon horn.

Less than modesty should be:

When she was a little older, Yu Qian combed her hair into a trident bun. The monk saw it and made a couplet:

A triangle is like a drum stand.

Yu Qian replied:

As bald as a hammer

24、

There is a Zhulin Mountain in front of the village where Jie Jin lives, which belongs to the same village squire. One year during the Spring Festival, Jie Jin posted a couplet in his home:

Thousands of bamboos go door to door

Jia Zang thousands of books

The squire was very unhappy when he saw the boss, so he ordered his servant to cut off all the bamboo shoots. Knowing the squire's intention, it is convenient to add a sentence at the end of the upper and lower couplet:

The door is as short as a thousand bamboos.

Jia Cang Qian Shu Chang

The squire was even more annoyed when he saw it, and then ordered the servant to dig out the bamboo roots. When he heard about it, he added a sentence at the end of the joint:

The door is short of a thousand bamboos.

This family owns thousands of books.

The squire was helpless and had to sulk.

25、

A scholar who refused to accept Jie Jin's talent found Jie Jin and plausibly said, "Good pair":

Cattle run, donkeys run, horses run.

Chickens are more difficult to fly than eagles.

Jie Jin was very disgusted with such a shallow person, so he smiled and said to the scholar, "I also sent Mr. A couplet."

The reeds on the wall are top-heavy and shallow.

Bamboo shoots in the mountains have a thick mouth and an empty stomach.

26、

Cheng of the Ming Dynasty was very talented and was recommended to Beijing as a teenager. The prime minister wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law. At a banquet, he pointed to the fruit on the case and said to Cheng:

Yingzong went out again:

Spread your wings and fly high, pressing clouds thousands of miles.

Zheng Min was right:

Take the lead, depending on the sun and moon.

Dongyang pair:

Yingzong was so happy that he said to the left and right, "Let one of them be the prime minister and the other the academician."

Lu Rong of Amin Dynasty was appointed as the envoy of Zhejiang and had a friendly relationship with Professor Kyle. During drinking at a party, the two got into a fight. Marco Polo post bald liu, saying:

Professor Chen Can is powerless to count his hair.

Liu Rongyou a face of beard, Kyle seized this feature, retorted:

Lord Lu's face is full of moustaches. Why?

The beauty of this genus lies in the second half of each sentence: in Zhejiang dialect, it is difficult to distinguish "stem" from "comb", "Shi" from "comb", and "harmony" is similar to "Hu", so "counting dry hair" is homophonic "combing hair" and "having no hair to do" is homophonic. "Why is this so" means "it must be so". Liu Rong then apes cut wood topic made a sentence:

In the mountain where two apes cut wood, this monkey can also saw (sentences)

Marco answer to yue:

How can this beast get hooves when a horse is stuck in the mud?

Say that finish, two people clap your hands and laugh. This pair of genera also skillfully uses puns and homophones, which is more enjoyable than the last pair. However, this "over the top" joke is only suitable for close friends.
