This is a couplet by Zheng Banqiao, named "Suzhou Leaving the Garden". It turned out to be Zheng Banqiao's embroidery, and 1990 was stolen. At the same time, there are four small hanging screens of Suzhou embroidery flowers, which were later supplemented by landscape artist Wu Kun and hung in Feng Xuan.

"Butterflies want to try flowers but still care for powder, while warblers are still ashamed when they first crow" was first written by Pi Rixiu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. Later, Zheng Banqiao changed the word "fly" to "flower" and left the title on the porch of the garden.
The original intention of couplets is to write about the spring scenery in the garden where butterflies are flying, birds are singing and flowers are singing. However, some romantic writers in later generations understood it as a language describing the situation of wedding night.
Wang Zengqi, a contemporary writer, mentioned such a thing when he talked about his father in Wang Zengqi's readme, from which people saw a strong atmosphere of life.
Wang Zengqi's father married his first stepmother when he got married for the second time. In the new house, he hung a banner of iron bridge, clay gold paper, a few peach blossoms and two swallows on the upper corner. The title is "As light as a friendly brother, write congratulations on the iron bridge".
There is a picture of a monk hanging in the new house. On both sides of this painting, there is also a pair of tiger skins: "Butterflies want to try flowers but still care for powder, and warblers are still ashamed when they are beginners", and the signature is Yang Zunyi.
Wang Zengqi said that he looked at the painting and the couple every day and knew it very well. It's really outrageous to understand the meaning of couplets when you grow up!
Zunyi Yang is a calligrapher in their county and a brother of his birth mother's family. It is really indecent for an uncle to write such a pair for his brother-in-law (or brother-in-law).
Tieqiao is a monk, and his father hung a portrait of the monk in his new house without any taboo; This Tieqiao monk painted such gorgeous pictures for his friend's wedding, and he was very considerate to the layman. He really had the moral code of being a good monk. He felt that most of his father's friends when he was young were somewhat unrestrained.
Zheng Banqiao's famous couplet allusions.
1, Zheng Banqiao skillfully met poor households.
On one occasion, Zheng Banqiao went out to play. On the way, he saw a family posting a couplet. The first part is: 2345 and the second part is: 6789. After reading the couplets, Zheng Banqiao frowned and turned back. The accompanying officials were puzzled. After a while, Zheng Banqiao came panting, with some clothes in one hand, a piece of meat in the other and a bag of food on his shoulder.
He quickly knocked on the door of this family, only to find that the family was trapped in bed, with no clothes to keep out the cold, autumn smoke in the stove, and no food to eat. Zheng Banqiao said, "It's almost the Spring Festival. These clothes, a few catties of meat and a bag of grain, you can keep them for next year. Come to me again if you have any difficulties in the future. "
The family was shocked and recognized him as Zheng Banqiao who was eager to help the poor. So, when the family came down, they kowtowed and thanked. After going out, the accompanying officials thought more and more strangely. Zheng Banqiao was not a fairy. How can we expect this family to spend the New Year without food or clothing? Zheng Banqiao smiled and replied, "Isn't the couplet written clearly? You see, there are two three four five on this couplet, and six seven eight nine below, but one is missing ten. Isn't that lack of clothes and food? "
They suddenly realized that Zheng Banqiao was well-read.
The old man is very clever to Zheng Banqiao.
According to legend, when Zheng Banqiao was a county magistrate, an old gentleman who taught came to the yamen to complain: "I taught for a year and originally said that I would be rewarded with eight yuan. In the end, the master changed his mind and refused to give it."
Zheng Banqiao said, "Unless you are wrong, why not give you money?" He casually pointed to the lanterns hanging in the lobby and wrote the first couplet: four lamps, a layer of paper, bright, shining all over the east, west, north and south.
The old man thought for a moment and made a couplet: one year's study, a few dollars, hard work, and going through spring, summer, autumn and winter. Zheng Banqiao saw that the old man was very talented, so he kept him.
3. Zheng Banqiao teaches big salt merchants.
Legend has it that one day, Tang Yixian, governor of the two rivers, came to Yangzhou to play, and eight local salt merchants rushed to join in and hosted a banquet. Yao Youcai, a big salt merchant, once got a salt ticket from Tang Yixian and made a fortune from then on. He is even more grateful. After Tang Yixian arrived in Yangzhou, he wanted to get a pair of couplets written by Zheng Banqiao. Yao Youcai quickly customized extra-large high-quality rice paper, and asked the central people to ask Zheng Banqiao to write a couplet. Who knows, Zheng Banqiao heard about it and rebuffed it.
Yao Youcai was as anxious as a cat on hot bricks when he saw that he couldn't have a job with the governor. Then, the central people asked Zheng Banqiao that they were willing to pay a large reward. Zheng Banqiao said, "Two thousand two hundred pieces of silver!" Although Yao Youcai was distressed by money and didn't want to offend the governor, he begged again and again and only agreed to 1200 yuan.
Zheng Banqiao didn't speak, but wrote the first couplet: Drum in the village, beating in the village. After writing the first part, Zheng Banqiao put down his pen and left, saying, "You can only write 1200 yuan, and I can only write half of it. Fair and reasonable, no one will suffer. " Yao Youcai had to send another 1200 pieces of silver. When Zheng Banqiao saw that Yao Youcai had given up, he wrote the bottom line: When the land was bought, the land was bought.
Zheng Banqiao wrote such vulgar couplets, which is a satire on the artiness of big officials and big salt merchants.
