Related knowledge

Couplet, also known as "couple" or "pair", is a literary form consisting of two sentences with the same number of words, with neat contrast, coordinated rhyme and complete semantics. It originated from the couplets of ancient Chinese poetry. It was founded in the Five Dynasties period and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It has a history of more than a thousand years. The form of the couplets is neat, and the coordination of oblique and oblique characters is the embodiment of the characteristics of Chinese characters, which is the unity of sound, shape and meaning. Therefore, couplets are a unique literary form of the Chinese language and a cultural treasure of the Chinese nation.

In Chinese folk, couplets are widely used.

For example, Spring Festival couplets are posted on the door of the house during the Chinese New Year, couplets are hung on the door when the store opens, and couplet games are played during entertainment.

The length of couplets varies. The short ones can be only one or two characters; the long ones can be hundreds of characters. When hanging, the top couplet is usually on the right and the bottom couplet is on the left.

That is, a word in the first line corresponds to a word in the second line, a word in the first line corresponds to a word in the second line, and a phrase in the first line corresponds to a phrase in the second line. At the same time, the words in the corresponding positions should have the same part of speech. That is, noun to noun, verb to verb, adjective to adjective, adverb to adverb, etc.

3. Semantic relevance. The meanings expressed by the upper and lower lines should be related to each other, and the contents of the upper and lower lines together express a complete semantics.

4. The level rises and falls, and the level and level coincide. That is, the last word in the first line is in oblique tone, and the last word in the second line is in flat tone. In addition, the words in the corresponding positions of the upper and lower couplets should be as flat and opposite as possible, so that the couplets can be read in a rhythmic and beautiful way.

Couplet rules

(1) The number of words in the upper and lower couplets must be equal. Do not use repeated words.

(2) The last sentence of the first couplet must be in oblique tone, and the last character of the next couplet must be in flat tone.

(3) The sentence patterns of the upper and lower couplets must be consistent (similar parts of speech and corresponding structures).

(4) The flat and oblique characters in the upper and lower lines must be opposite to each other. Where the upper couplet uses flat tones, the second line must use oblique tones, and vice versa (ping: flat tones; obi, oblique tones, including (a character with three tones: 上, going, and enter).

(5) The meanings of the upper and lower couplets can be similar or opposite. They can only say one thing, or they may also say two things separately.

The antithesis between couplets and rhythmic poetry has a relationship of inheritance and evolution. The flat rhythm of rhythmic poetry and the principle of "no matter one, three, and five, but two, four, and six are clear" also apply to couplets. As for the number of words in each couplet, there is no limit, ranging from four, five, six, seven, eight, nine to several or hundreds of words, as long as there is something to say and it can be paired. The following examples illustrate this:

The motherland has great mountains and rivers; the people have new years. (p> The last word "zhuang" in the first line and the last word "xin" in the second line are both adjectives. They are relative to each other and harmonious. The content and form are consistent with the five rules mentioned above.

In short, the phonology and harmony of couplets should be harmonious. The language is concise, consistent with the rules, and has certain content. The words are not relative to each other, the flatness and obliqueness are inconsistent, or the slogan-like sentences are divided into two lines, they cannot be regarded as couplets.
