Questions and answers on basic knowledge of couplets

Susan Xuelian has always been diligent in games and neglected to think. I think many friends are like me.

Forum is a place for leisure and study. If we can combine the play association with the study association, we can discuss and communicate together, think in the play and improve in the game, it will be a matter of entertaining ourselves and benefiting others. Therefore, Susan opened this post to communicate with the villagers on the avenue, and welcome friends to participate.

We all know that couplets can be right, wrong or strung together, but it is not easy to skillfully use these methods in practice.

Question 1 What is a "running water pair"? Is there a general "flowing water" rule and a common "flowing water" method?

The avenue is not empty:

Talk about running water. Yes

Flowing couplets are a relatively advanced form of couplets, which requires high writing skills. If running water couplets can be done well, most other forms of couplets are not to mention. The so-called running water pair, as its name implies, is a form of couplets that is as natural and coherent as running water. It has three main characteristics.

First, the upper and lower links are natural, and the lower link is a supplement or solution to the upper link, forming an organic whole.

Second, there is a clear distinction between the contents of the upper and lower couplets. If you look at the content and don't look at the beat, you can definitely tell the upper and lower couplets. The content of the bottom link must be closely connected with the top link and cannot be reversed. General couplets, if you don't look at the meter, the upper and lower couplets are often interchangeable, but the running model is not. This has the same characteristics as running water. Water can only flow downwards, not backwards, or it will be in big trouble. So a good running mate must strictly grasp the joint significance of the upper and lower parts.

Third, the up and down links must be dynamic. This so-called action does not mean that couplets must be written, but that couplets must give people a feeling of connection and change, just like making a movie. Two shots means one thing. We often say that running water does not rot, and the reason why running water does not stink easily is because it is good at moving, and it will not rot if it moves. The flowing water pair also maintains this feature of flowing water and is full of movement.

Because running water pairs have such characteristics, we should also pay attention to the following points when writing running water pairs:

First, sentences should have space. The common practice of running water pairs is to ask questions in the upper part and answer them in the lower part, forming an organic combination; If you don't ask questions, you can also bury some foreshadowing in the upper part, and then turn the pen to fill the foreshadowing left in the upper part.

Second, we need to pay attention to the echo of the upper and lower parts. When the second part supplements the content of the first part, we must pay attention to whether there are loopholes and completeness, otherwise it will not succeed.

Thirdly, because running water couples pay special attention to the sense of action, we should pay special attention to the grasp of verbs when creating running water couples. One depends on whether the choice of verbs meets the needs of sentence meaning, the other depends on whether the choice is reasonable and appropriate, and whether the verbs that echo up and down have their own emphasis.

Give a few examples:

Moonlight pool bottom

The wind broke the heart of the mirror.

This connection is relatively secret and needs careful analysis. The focus of the first couplet is a condensed word, indicating that the water in the pool is still, so the moonlight in the water can be condensed; And the still water is like a big mirror in the shadow of moonlight? The wind blew in the second couplet, and the wind broke the water mirror and scattered the moon. It's like a small movie in the moonlight, full of changes and infinite space. First there is a mirror, then there is a broken mirror, and the link up and down is irreversible, otherwise the water mirror has been broken, how can the moonlight condense? Moreover, the upper and lower couplets are indispensable and the changes are incomplete.

Jathyapple laughed at my ignorance.

The world wants purity, how can it be pure?

This sentence seems to use the reduction to absurdity, but it is actually a pair of water. The first part focuses on ignorance and empty laughter. Why should I say jathyapple's ignorant and empty laughter? It is because it doesn't understand that the world has various desires, so it is difficult to clear the heart. In this way, the two associations complement each other and form an organic whole. Friendship is also irreversible.

If you have a brainwave, you will be enlightened.

Why should I worry that a clever pen doesn't make gold?

The last sentence is about cause, and the second part is about effect, combination of cause and effect, and natural exposition.

I asked Breeze why he didn't speak.

You answered Mao Mao Rain without thinking.

The first part asks questions, the second part answers, and the questions and answers are naturally coherent.

Finally, it is emphasized that running pairs are sometimes difficult to distinguish, so there is no need to force them. What we need to know is the clever thinking of running right. Mastering this method will make it much easier to make other forms of couplets. When making couplets, we might as well consider whether we can make a pair of running letters. Even if it is not a complete pair of lines, with the taste of a pair of lines, couplets will become much more natural and smooth.

Finally, I will send you the quadruple.

Want to make a wonderful connection, that is, love is reason;

What is a good sentence is also illusory and true.

Excellent method is smooth;

Join the realm and return to the truth.

The boutique is well connected and the form is open;

Xu Wen has a wonderful rhyme, and the scenery is true.

In my heart, whisper;

There is no shortcut, and hard work is real.

The avenue is not empty:

Inverted sentence is a rhetorical device of general literary genre, and couplets can also be used naturally; However, running script is a special form of couplets, which requires that couplets must be progressive or supplementary and cannot be reversed, otherwise it is not running script;

Regarding the causal order, the general running water pair is the first cause and consequence, from top to bottom, so it is called running water; However, everything is not absolute. Cause and effect can sometimes be changed, and sometimes cause is cause and cause is effect. This situation is quite special. I can't think of a suitable example at the moment, but if I meet it, it's a flowing couple.

In addition, as I emphasized at the end of the article just now, we advocate the use of line pairs, not insisting on writing line pairs, as long as we pay attention to the creative points of line pairs when writing couplets, but we don't have to insist on whether the line pairs are written in the end. Pay attention to its meaning, not its shape.

Q:

I asked Breeze why he didn't speak.

You answered Mao Mao Rain without thinking.

The first part asks questions, the second part answers, and the questions and answers are naturally coherent.

-Although there are questions and answers, the answers are irrelevant ~

The avenue is not empty. Answer:

It's not irrelevant. Although the upper and lower couplets here use two different things, as far as couplets are concerned, they are actually talking about one thing-a natural thing without thinking; Why don't you talk? The second part is to answer that you can't talk because you have no thoughts. It should be noted that the wind and rain here are not anthropomorphic.

However, this question is actually a very good question. Not all questions and answers are right, and irrelevant answers can't be counted. Try to compare: when will there be a bright moon? The breeze came here. It is also about natural scenery, but the two things in this couplet can't be regarded as the same thing, because the emphasis is different.

Q:

Brother Avenue said: Although the upper and lower couplets here use two different things, as far as the whole couplet is concerned, it is actually talking about one thing-a natural thing without thinking; Why don't you talk? The second part is to answer that you can't talk because you have no thoughts.

-If I regard breeze and drizzle as two different things and treat them as the same thing, my understanding is still a little vague.

"I asked the breeze why don't you talk? The breeze and drizzle in Jun Answer the drizzle without thinking are substituted respectively, I = = drizzle, Jun = = breeze, obviously the water is right.

The drizzle asked the breeze why it didn't speak.

The breeze answered the drizzle without thinking.

The avenue is not empty. Answer:

This consideration is a bit thoughtless.

According to what you said, the breeze asks the drizzle, and the drizzle answers the breeze, then the breeze and drizzle are anthropomorphic. Since people have language thoughts, why not think?

As I have answered before, the breeze and drizzle here are not anthropomorphic, but are regarded as natural things without thinking. From this point of view, breeze and drizzle are the same thing, but in different forms.

If I still don't understand, I'll add a few words to this.

I wonder, why is the breeze always silent?

You gave a wonderful answer, just because of the rain in Mao Mao.

Is that clear?

Q:

I wonder, why is the breeze always silent?

You gave a wonderful answer, just because of the rain in Mao Mao.

Hehe, then my understanding is: why doesn't the breeze speak? It is precisely because of laziness that Tao makes the breeze lazy.

The avenue is not empty. Answer:

Isn't this understanding still anthropomorphic? As I said, the breeze and drizzle are a kind of metonymy. Don't be specific or anthropomorphic. Personification is not running water. . .

The avenue is not empty:

I have to emphasize that it doesn't mean that this couplet is not related. . . . . .

Some couplets are not flowing couplets, but they are also good couplets; Understand it from another angle, and don't go into a dead end.

Q:

I asked Breeze why he didn't speak.

You answered Mao Mao Rain without thinking.

No matter whether this couplet is smooth or not, it seems unreasonable to say that the breeze and drizzle are not personified. Isn't language (speaking) and thinking (thinking) unique to people?

The avenue is not empty. Answer:

be

So the wind is silent; Rain has no thoughts. You can't talk or think. This is realism, not personification. . . . . .

The avenue is not empty:

However, as I said early in the morning, some runs are already certain, so don't force yourself to run right; Only when making couplets, using running water pairs can improve the quality of couplets.

On the law of opposites of couplets

Anti-law is a common creative technique in couplets, and many people think that a good couplet created by anti-law can be regarded as the top grade in couplets.

The law of opposites emphasizes the contrast and contrast between upper and lower meanings, and there are three common situations.

One is the contrast or contrast of time or space. For example, the comparison between the past and the present, the contrast between heaven and earth and so on. , highlighting the different characteristics of their respective time periods and different spaces.

Give an example:

1 has fallen behind others for half a lifetime; Tomorrow will be the first time to fight for the world.

Shanglian said that he was down and out in the first half of his life, and the situation was quite miserable; The second part says that we must work hard all our lives and strive for success. The first part focuses on writing backwards, and the second part focuses on writing first, writing first and then writing, which becomes opposition.

The sun is as strong as fire; Cold rain is as cold as ice.

The first one is about the hot summer scenery, and the second one is about the cold winter situation, which forms opposition.

Don't go where you go to see wild geese in autumn, it will damage flowers in spring.

The first part is autumn, and the second part is spring.

What needs to be noted here is that it is not necessary for the Spring and Autumn Period, Heaven and Earth to be enemies of the French League. Whether to oppose the French alliance depends on whether there are other aspects that are opposite or relative besides these antonyms, such as the scorching sun; The cold rain is as cold as ice, which emphasizes the contrast between cold and hot in Xia Dong. The anti-French Federation pays attention to the feeling of the whole sentence, not the single word.

The other is the opposite or relative meaning of the sentence. For example, accumulate good and cause trouble, be wise and foolish, etc. Highlight the characteristics of what the upper and lower parts say respectively.

Give an example:

1 Dao Jun is a thin-faced guest; I'm afraid I'm cheeky.

The first part is to write others' comments on the author, thinking that the author is a very shy person; The second part is the author's own way. In fact, he is a thick-skinned man, but you didn't see it.

Wind and rain can also be a lawless song; Time is hard to enter the poetic realm.

The focus of this connection lies in the change of "being" and "not being", highlighting different impressions under different moods. When writing the first couplet, the mood is leisurely, so even listening to the messy wind and rain, I feel that a song is playing; The mood of writing couplets is obviously pessimistic and sad, and everything is not pleasing to the eye, so even poetic life and years are boring for the author.

3 paper, square inch dry, Kun wins; There is nothing in my heart, and the world is Wukong

The first part is about the competitive attitude of the world, and the second part is about Buddha-like people who don't have this competitive heart and can see through everything (victory is relative to Wukong, and heart is relative to the world).

The first two words with antonyms or opposite meanings exist directly, and the opposition of the whole couplet is influenced by local opposition or relative influence. The third kind is special. There may be no obvious antonym in the whole couplet, but the meaning of the sentence is still completely different, so I still object.

Give an example:

1 What madman dares to sit on a high platform like Di Zi? A little arrogant, actually holding a pen to receive the prize!

The first part is other people's questions. Who is so arrogant that he dares to claim to be the champion of the emperor's exam? The second couplet is self-taught, and I am crazy because I have this pride and talent! The two sides are evenly matched.

I wandered around several times, so I stayed in my dream; Going back and forth several times, old friends are heartbroken.

Both the upper and lower sentences are about wandering back and forth, but one is about the reason for coming back and the other is about the reason for coming and going. Form opposition.

3 calligraphy and painting, piano and chess calligraphy and painting, many elegant things of poets; The poor live a hard life with daily necessities.

The first couplet is about the poet's elegance, and the second couplet is about the sadness of poor scholars. The meanings of the two couplets are relative. The difference between them is that they are not short of money, so they are leisurely; One is so poor that he can only worry about rice every day. Write a completely different life between them by means of side lining.

To add: sometimes it is difficult to distinguish the law of opposites from the flowing pair, so I will explain it a little. Streaming pairs include some opposing methods, such as causal streaming pairs; But the flowing water pair is allowed to be progressive, while the law of opposition is relative or antagonistic. When the meanings of sentences are opposite or relative, the key point to distinguish running water from opposition lies in whether the contents of the upper and lower sentences of couplets can be reversed or separated.

Finally, I'll give you some couplets:

Think about it carefully, you are right;

Occasionally pick up sentences, tell stories and express your heart.

Listen to nature alone and get a leisure sentence;

The mountain breeze whispers, and the wonderful understanding is in the heart.

Legal subdivision, Jia Lian preaching;

Vulgar feelings can be abandoned, elegance is in my heart.

If it is dusty, it is free and easy to write;

Can speak freely and fluently.

The couple need good products. The referee may have watched too many couplets, which was a bit fast, so he didn't see the taste of running right.

Susan:

Question 3: couplets pay attention to meticulous work, but it is forbidden to cross your hands. The "degree" in the middle is actually not easy to grasp. Please talk about the taboo of "crossing hands" in couplets.

The avenue is not empty:

Crossing hands and separating meanings are two controversial contents in couplet grammar, and they have certain similarities. Let's talk about them together.

The avenue is not empty:

I'm talking about crossing your hands and separating your thoughts.

Nowadays, there is a strange atmosphere in couplets, that is, they are determined to make couplets, a literary game that should be relaxed and interesting, look like a gobbledygook, with all the rules and regulations in it, but also one-sided and inflated. Crossing hands and separating ideas are two extreme examples.

Let's look at the arms crossed first. One of the great charms of China's writing is that, as the name implies, the so-called crossing of hands is an image metaphor. If we regard the upper and lower sentences of a couplet as the left palm and the right palm, then every word of the couplet can be regarded as every finger, palm and other parts of the palm. Only when all the parts overlap can you count your hands crossed, but there is only one word, that is, only one finger overlaps. How can it be considered a cross hand? Not only does it make no sense, but some of it is outrageous. Accordingly, some common wedding couplets now write festive, with hands crossed; The elegiac couplet, the upper and lower couplets all write sadness, and the hands are crossed. . . . . . Most of them are crossed hands. Can you still write this couplet? I really don't know who made such crossing rules. In fact, the heritage is endless!

The same is true of meaning separation. Damn it. The so-called intentional separation should be a statement in a relative category. For example, if a scene is written in the first part of the couplet, the second part should not be reasonable, so the contents of the upper and lower parts are irrelevant. This is intentional separation. But I don't know who is boring and pedantic, but I insist on expanding and unilaterally widening this gap. What's wrong with Spring and Autumn? Why can't the first book say spring and the second book say autumn? According to their understanding, well, spring can only be used for spring, so should it be regarded as crossing your hands again? If you really want to explain that crossing your hands means separation, it is tantamount to slapping yourself.

It's really hard for me to understand what these people think. Since you like couplets, you should have a sense of responsibility to promote them. To better publicize couplets, we should simplify them on the basis of retaining the essence of couplets, instead of artificially adding countless inexplicable rules to couplets and destroying their aesthetic feeling and interest. Those who teach couplets should not be taught, but should be destroyed!

After complaining, let's talk about my personal understanding of crossing hands, which means separation.

The original intention of putting hands together is that the upper and lower couplets are consistent in style and meaning, and there is not much difference between them. But only one or two words have the same meaning, for example, you don't have to cross your hands. 1: China is eternal; Huaxia wannian. The two words before and after this conjunction have the same meaning, and the meaning of the whole sentence is similar. This is a sentence with hands crossed. 2. China's unfortunate tears for thousands of years; China's love lasts forever. The first part is about natural and man-made disasters, which have lasted for thousands of years; The second part says that although natural disasters are merciless, China people have feelings, and the true feelings in suffering are more precious, so that they can last forever. Although the upper and lower couplets all have words with the same literal meaning, such as Shenzhou, Huaxia, Eternal and Wannian, they can be linked together with different emphases and different meanings, so they cannot be regarded as linked hands.

The reason why there is a saying that hands are folded together is to make couplets more vivid and express wider meanings, so that the upper and lower couplets are as different as possible, but it is not considered a taboo because one or two words overlap.

For some couplets in specific scenes, it is necessary to emphasize the profound meaning by repeatedly emphasizing the upper and lower couplets. If you change these words, the meaning will be less clear. After all, the most important thing in couplets is content, not form.

Look at some of the most common couplets: 1 Spring Festival couplets: business is like spring, financial resources are like water, and they are harmonious and consistent. 2 wedding alliance: good marriage and Xinhua Shuangfeiyan; Good couples will eventually marry Tie Lian. Good couples mean close and have the same meaning. 3 elegiac couplet: high winds spread to the countryside, bright festivals show future generations, and high winds and bright festivals agree. 4 industry associations. When you take the lead, you will work hard. Head and top are the same meaning.

All the above are ancient classic couplets. According to some people's understanding of crossing hands, these are taboo. However, I think these couplets have their own emphasis and should not be regarded as cross hands. There are many similar couplets in some basic courses of ancient students' union, such as "Rion antithesis" and "Enlightenment of temperament".

Therefore, in my opinion, it is absolutely impossible to determine whether the word "one" and "two" are the same, but to evaluate them according to whether the upper and lower couplets have different emphasis or styles. When writing couplets, you can avoid crossing your hands by changing the angle, style and focus.

Tell me more about my understanding of the meaning gap.

One of the six elements of couplets is content relevance. If the couplet is too far away, it will become a heartless couple. This is the root of this statement. But as far as the current situation is concerned, the idea of meaning separation is also somewhat enlarged and one-sided.

Couplets pay attention to artistic conception, and couplets with different contents need different forms of context. Generally speaking, writing couplets should be opposite to writing couplets, narrative couplets should be opposite to narrative couplets, and inspirational couplets should be opposite to inspirational couplets. If the scenery couplets and inspirational couplets are linked together, they are naturally separated. This is easy to understand, but there are other aspects.

Give an example:

Look at the inscribed couplets first.

Every year, the moon blooms and the starry night is already cold.

The meanings of this couplet are too far apart, there is no connection between them, and some meanings are separated.

It should be noted that if the first part is about a relatively atmospheric scenery, the second part is best described from the same angle, from big to big; And vice versa, otherwise it is easy to separate.

Look at narrative couplets again.

The wind is still blowing before the mountain is old, and the couplet is full of profound meaning at the moment.

These two sentences are different in content, artistic conception and technique, and there is not enough connection, so they are somewhat fragmented.

Narrative couplets need to pay attention to the techniques and narrative angles in the upper and lower conjunctions, which should be both different and related, otherwise it will easily lead to intentional separation.

Separation and non-separation need to be viewed relatively, and cannot be absolute or expanded. Some cases may be intentional sentences, and some special cases may not be intentional.

In the poem clock of 1, the upper and lower couplets refer to two completely different things, which may be irrelevant. In this case, it cannot be regarded as separation of meaning. Similarly, other sentences with special content requirements should not be regarded as deliberately setting obstacles.

Objection and some special running water pairs. What is said to legislation is often two unrelated things, so we should pay attention to distinguish them from the meaning gap; At first glance, some special running sentences may be irrelevant and fragmented; But look carefully, the two couplets have a very clever and even secret connection. In this case, you need to carefully check whether it is a gap or a pair of opposites or flows.

The other three people. I can't think of it at the moment. Add it when you think of it. . . . . .

Finally, to sum up, the so-called "hands folded, distracted" is to make couplets full and wonderful. Their fundamental purpose is to serve the couplets, not to trouble them. Don't let the so-called separation and cross hands tie your hands and feet and inspiration. If there are too many rules, you can't write couplets well. When making couplets, you can pay attention to whether they are separated or crossed, but don't be afraid to write anything because you care about the existence of the two; Or it is written, for fear of taboo, only in the small circle of romantic months, dare not jump out, then it is really not worth the candle.

Finally, there are several joint gifts.

Attached to my heart, clear and turbid; The pen is in my hand, and the edge is blunt and self-evident.

Elegant rhyme, solo; Good association is like wine, the better the taste, the better the alcohol.

The text is clear and pure, with endless aftertaste; Liancheng Avenue is fun.

In the impetuous literary world, the spirit is just a pen; The world is complex, and the pure land seeks unity.

Susan:

Thought-provoking! The road is difficult.

My friends and I have discussed the issue of dividing and dividing many times, and we often have a big fight, so we are very confused. "Division and non-division need to be seen relatively, and they cannot be absolute or expanded." I quite agree with you. I'll find some concrete examples and discuss them with Avenue later.

"Wen Xianqing heart, carefree; Liancheng Avenue is fun. " I feel the same way.

Sword test:

I feel that "parting" often appears in antithesis, and it is not easy to write couplets. In the final analysis, it is still "right" to handle, and writing couplets should not only be "right" but also "couplet". The author pays more attention to one-stop communication, and it comes from one person. So the problem of "separation" is not very common, and it seems that I have never seen it before.

The avenue is not empty:

I agree with this statement. What I mentioned in my article is that some people's understanding of barriers is too extreme, so barriers are everywhere; According to my understanding of the meaning gap, there are very few sentences with real meaning gap.

Susan:

Question 4: allusion is a common method to create couplets. If you use allusions in sentences, do you have to use allusions in sentences? If there is no sentence allusion, is it worth popularizing the sentence allusion?

The avenue is not empty:

On allusions of couplets

Citation is a common skill in literature. With the help of existing books, poems, legends and stories, including anecdotes, interesting stories, people, poems, legends of scenic spots, etc. , the couplet is expounded. Making good use of allusions can make couplets more full and wonderful and add aesthetic feeling.

For allusions, we should pay attention to several aspects:

First, the use of allusions should be accurate. When making couplets, you need to consider whether the allusions used can accurately express the couplets you want to write. If they match, you can use them. On the contrary, it is better not to use it, so as not to become redundant.

Try to give an example: cardamom talks empty, brothel dreams far away, looking back on the Millennium, they are all passers-by;

Jinling city is old, the ancient county is full of poems, and the autumn wind is looking for leisure several times.

Qinhuai Qusan, the original lamp stop, revisited only the wind and smoke.

This is a couplet sung in a couplet forum, one sentence and two sentences, respectively, around the ancient capital Nanjing. Amongst them, cardamom ci, brothel dream, Jinling city, ancient county poems, Qinhuai songs and boat lights are all used to express memories and feelings of ancient Nanjing. Ancient Nanjing has always been the endorsement of drunken fans. It is not so accurate to remember Nanjing (especially ancient times) with allusions such as the Golden Goma Railway and the flying sand in the desert.

Second, allusions use nature. The use of allusions is only to make couplets interesting and memorable, not to confuse people; It is not enough to use allusions deliberately and forcibly just to increase the difficulty of sentences, so the use of allusions is ingenious and natural.

Give an example:

I advise you not to be Jiang Biehe. I hope you can become a young man.

This is a line from the poem Crane and Pine. Since you want to write seven different sentences with cranes and pines, you need to write couplets in different ways to avoid aesthetic fatigue, so you can consider using allusions, and this couplet uses Jiang Biehe (the hypocrite in Gu Long's novel A Double Pride) to advise you not to be a hypocrite. The second part of the alliance used young pine trees against Jiang Biehe. All-China Democratic League means less infighting and pretentious hypocrites, so that people with true temperament can live a long and comfortable life.

The use of allusions must be ingenious and natural, so not all sentences advocate the use of allusions. Generally speaking, it is easier to add allusions when writing things, and it is easier to embed allusions when writing more specific people and things (such as scenic spots). And some relatively vague writing couplets, such as romantic couplets, or couplets that pursue ethereal and leisurely style, are not easy to embed; In addition, some bold or humorous couplets should not be scrutinized too carefully because they pay attention to momentum and consistency. Generally, such couplets do not advocate the use of allusions.

There are many ways to use allusions, such as whole embedding (directly embedding names, poems, etc. Sentence-forming), scattered embedding (embedding one or more allusions into clauses or upper and lower couplets respectively), and blending embedding (skillfully using allusions but not directly in couplets).

Under normal circumstances, allusions are used in sentences, preferably embedded in sentences, which are neat and natural, and are not easy to produce gaps; But the allusions in some sentences are hidden deeply, or very open. If there are allusions, the allusions in this case can be ignored, with or without allusions. In addition, there is another sentence that uses biased allusions, which can't be seen when comparing sentences. At this time, the quality of sentences is another matter.

As for the sentence without allusions, I think so. If the allusion to the sentence is natural and clever, it is really beneficial to supplement the couplet, and the connection between the upper and lower couplets is natural, then this kind of allusion is ok; But personally, I think it's better not to advocate this practice and let nature take its course.

The avenue is not empty:

By the way, most of the examples I wrote in this post about the question and answer of couplets were created by myself or sung with friends, which may not fully meet the needs of the question and answer, just examples to make you understand more intuitively and clearly. If there is anything wrong, you can have a good look.

Susan:

If the allusions of the upper and lower couplets are quite different in time or character, such as different dynasties, will the literati think that the allusions are asymmetric?

The avenue is not empty:

This is also a matter of opinion. Of course, it is best if we can do one-to-one correspondence. But many times, it is inevitable that we can't find a suitable corresponding allusion, so we have to find another way, so let's be flexible and not rigid on this issue.

Susan:

Is the allusion to the poem Zhong particularly rigorous?

The avenue is not empty:

Poetry bells have strict requirements in all aspects, including part of speech, rhythm, allusions and so on. Even overlapping words are not allowed, which requires strict job matching.

Susan:

Question 5: There are three special words in couplets: color, orientation and number. Do these three types of words have any special rules in duality?

The avenue is not empty:

Some part-of-speech requirements in couplets

Couplets are very particular and meticulous, and some can be flexible, but some basic contents, such as parts of speech, should be strict and should not be flexible. Some words are easy to correct, such as verbs and nouns, and some words are difficult to correct, perhaps because the selection range is narrow, such as numbers and locative words. It may also be because of the flexibility of parts of speech, such as color. This difficult word sometimes allows flexibility.

Say the numbers first.

Usually, this part of speech is similar to other words in couplets, and there is no special rule, but sometimes there are some special changes.

The relative relationship between real numbers and divisors, such as the corresponding relationship between one and several.

Example: a mountain in Yu Tong; Several osmanthus trees

Verbs used flexibly as numerals, such as Manchu and He Bing.

Lonely wind is everywhere, a few bleak dreams;

A mountain is cold and rainy, some bleak and some sad.

Three-number corresponding quantifier

Capable of writing and martial arts, with 28 words; This is a song that can be sung, and this is an eternal name.

This kind of couplet is not very complicated, but because there are too few numbers to choose from, quantifiers can be allowed to correspond when several numbers are used together, such as 28 pairs of eternity.

The change of four characters

The word "one" is a very special numeral, and many parts of speech can be changed, so pay attention to sentences.

Castle Peak is like an old friend. When I remember, the clouds were on my clothes and the wind couldn't blow them away.

Shower washes away the turbid world, and watching the return of electricity in the air makes thunder not unexpected.

One here is a verb.

In addition, in the new rhyme, the word "one" may be flat or even, and the word "one" is often flat before the sound is removed; In other cases, it is generally silent, so pay attention to the sentence. The situation of the word "no" is similar.

When five numbers are connected with other words to form a complete word, the numbers here can be corrected without numbers.

Hanshu drinks, and countless romantic wines sigh;

When it comes to the heart, Ci Fu sings to the heart in dismay.

At that time, the weather was mostly very hot, so we should pay attention to the heat of this weather, not to be cold.
