Appreciation of Zhang's clear lake Bieji Couplet

Text/Zhang Jihai?

? Zhang is an ancient family with a huge surname, whose ancestors waved the public and originated in Qinghe. In Chinese mainland, the population size ranks in the top three. It is more common for Chinese and foreign people to live together in Zhang's village, while ethnic buildings such as Zhang's ancestral hall and school are more common. These buildings generally inherit the unique cultural tradition of couplets in China. From the doorpost to the back hall of the main hall, couplets are generally carefully equipped, the form follows the convention, and the content is different. After thousands of years of accumulation, couplets with Zhang characteristics have become a wonderful flower on the tree of Chinese culture and art. Most of these couplets can be used by every household, such as "Bowing to the east wind, Wan Li Beidou is bright in the sky" and so on; There are also distinctive features and specialization, such as "famous Neo-Confucianism in eastern Zhejiang, closing famous scholars and leaving Jiangsu", which is suitable for the Zhang family in Tongxiang, Zhejiang.

? The Zhang family in Qinghu, Hunan Province also has an exclusive couplet: Shaoguan Middle School and Pingbo Palace. People today may not quite understand the meaning, but after a little explanation, they will know that this couplet is also very unusual.

? Zhang's clear lake Church, founded at the end of 13, is the ancestor of Yueshigong and Sunyiyuangong, famous ministers in the Southern Song Dynasty. Over the past 700 years, Toshihiko has grown into 19 families with hundreds of thousands of people.

? The above-mentioned Tang Lian, planned in the late Ming Dynasty, is intended to show the specific historical relics and origins of this branch. It can be used in the main hall of the Zhangjia in clear lake and the family ancestral temple, and can also be used in clear lake ancestral hall and other halls and places.

? This is a common couplet with good content and form.

-From the content point of view, the four allusions highlight the characteristics of the Zhang family in clear lake.

"Ji Yan" means "renewing the elegance and customs of Ji Yan". This book, with 40 volumes, is an early encyclopedic reference book in China. It is rich in content and rigorous in reading, especially the arrangement of items in different categories, which is of pioneering significance to dictionary compilation. Author Zhang Shuxing, the tenth generation of Qinghutang, was born in the middle of Ming Dynasty. As a teacher in Pu Xian, he devoted his life to learning and wrote a lot. Ji Yan is his masterpiece which lasted for 27 years.

"Pingbo" refers to the "Pingbo Campaign" of "Wanli Three Signs" in Ming Dynasty. At that time, the imperial court sent troops to quell the rebellion of Yang Yinglong, the chieftain of Bozhou (now Zunyi, Guizhou). In the first 10 generation of Qinghutang, a scholar felt dangerous to the public and went to Qianjun camp alone as a supervisor. He was injured by an arrow, but he still worked hard for the supervisor, which earned him full marks. But I think I have made meritorious service, and I seek to repay my hometown people with the meritorious service of the imperial court. "Zhong Cheng (feeling that I am a public official) has never been allowed to reward merit, and Huguang has already reduced taxes and reduced food."

"Guan School" refers to the Neo-Confucianism school founded by Mr. Zi Hou, the ancestor of Zhang Song. Mr. Zhang Zai, whose name is unknown, moved from Kaifeng to Hengqu Town in Guanzhong, and was known as Mr. Hengqu in the world. He was the founder of Neo-Confucianism with Zhou Dunyi, Shao Yong, Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao, and was called the "five sons of the Northern Song Dynasty". The schools he founded were named "Guan Xue" and "Guanzhong School". And the title "Four Sentences of Hengqu" is a swan song throughout the ages and is widely spread.

"Great honor", the classic "Historical Records, Stay in Hou Family". Fang Gong, the ancestor of the Zhang family in clear lake BC, was endowed with the art of war by a strange man, thus strategizing and winning thousands of miles, helping Hanwang win the world and making great contributions, ranking first in three outstanding heroes of early han dynasty.

? -Rhetorically, the technique is skillful and appropriate.

? For example, the words "Neo-Confucianism" and "Meritorious Service" in the text are split and embedded in the sentence, which has a unique charm, naturally summarizes the origin and inheritance of clear lake's Tang family studies, and highlights its characteristics of talents, academics and martial arts.

? Judging from the choice of words, the choice of verbs in the sentence is accurate.

? Salt means relying on continuity; Commitment means continuing. The predicate "less" connects "reason" and "learning", and the predicate "success" connects "merit" and "honor", which is subtle, subtle, steady and appropriate and has a natural charm.

? To sum up, the significance of couplets is: clear lake Zhang Xing, continuing the academic achievements of "Guan Xue", creating; Inherited the family tradition and ancestral wisdom represented by Fang Zigong, and made achievements in civilian "flat broadcasting" and other military exploits. Thereby highlighting the characteristics of the Zhangjia clear lake Hall.

? Historically, people have never used the so-called logo to identify, and couplets have become the main way to display places, families, seasons and activities in a personalized way. People who are familiar with Zhang's traditional culture know that it belongs to the Zhang family in clear lake, even if they don't quite understand the meaning of the couplet above.

? This pair of couplets is not very popular in today's times, so it is not as easy to understand as "the bow is near the east wind" This is mainly some words and allusions in couplets, which have become obscure and difficult to understand.

? For example, "refined and popular words", in the present words, should be "a comprehensive study of written language and popular words" After such a "translation", I still feel that it is not so easy to understand.

As for "Pingbo" and "Pingbo War", people were already familiar with it at the turn of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries when the war took place, but now people often don't quite understand it. This is somewhat similar to the current online hot words such as "Happy Big Ben", which will inevitably be "forgotten in the rivers and lakes" after a period of popularity.

"Close to school" or "close to middle school", "close to school" and "close to school" are not common now, and people feel strange.

? When I was a child, I wrote this pair of couplets (without horizontal criticism) on the shrine in my room. I want to understand those hieroglyphs every day, but I don't know what they mean. It was not until I studied the historical data of surname culture in recent years and got a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of related words and allusions that I realized the rich content and artistic value of this couplet.

? There is a saying that the more national a work of art is, the more cosmopolitan it is. In a sense, Tang Lian, a surname with clan characteristics, will have higher cultural and artistic value. ?
