The first couplet at the entrance of the brothel: A pair of jade arms and a pillow for thousands of people. What second couplet did Qianlong give?

The Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty was a wise emperor in history. During his reign, the "Kangxi and Qianlong Dynasties" reached their peak. He advocated the combination of severity and kindness, and was kind to officials and people. He is usually a person who loves literature and likes to compose poems very much. Unfortunately, the level of his poems is not very high, and there are few famous lines that have been passed down through the ages. However, Qianlong's level of couplets is still relatively high, and he often communicates with the talented people around him. Ji Xiaolan plays against each other together, and the level of regular interaction with such a great talent is naturally not low.

An interesting thing happened about the couplet. Let me tell you about it in detail. Qianlong was very considerate of the lives of the people, so he often visited the palace privately incognito. One is to inspect the work of local officials and care about the sufferings of the people. The other is to take advantage of their free time to travel around the mountains and rivers and feel the local customs.

When Qianlong was inspecting the south of the Yangtze River, he and his entourage were wandering around and stopped in front of a building. What attracted him was a couplet on the door of the building, but only the first couplet was on it. , the first couplet reads: A pair of jade arms, a pillow for thousands of people. Qianlong felt very curious after seeing it, so he sent his attendants to find out the story about this couplet. After a while, the attendants told him that it was a local brothel. Not long ago, a down-and-out scholar was drinking to heal his wounds in a brothel, expressing his depression. He casually recited this first couplet, but unfortunately he did not say the second couplet. The brothel boss felt that it was a pity that there was no second couplet, so he posted the first couplet at the door of the brothel, hoping that Talented people can write the second line when passing by.

Qianlong became interested after hearing this. This was his strong point, so he thought for a moment and chanted: "A little bit of red lips can be tasted by thousands of guests." After hearing this, the onlookers thought it was very clever and applauded in praise. Qianlong's second couplet not only vividly describes the current situation of brothel women, but also expresses the sadness and helplessness of brothel women's lives. Later, the brothel owner posted the second couplet, and a delicate and wonderful couplet was born. Qianlong was very happy to be praised by the people and left leisurely.
