The eyes of the world's scholars, but only let the Nishan a person.

Yu Ting, refers to Shun's court. According to legend, Shun was the ancient master of the world, so the term "Yu court" is often used as a substitute for "holy dynasty". Sixteen words, referring to the "Book - Dayu Muo" of "the heart is only dangerous, the heart of the road is only micro, but the essence is only one, and allow the center". The Song Confucians regarded these sixteen words as the principles of personal moral cultivation and governance passed down from Yao, Shun and Yu to each other.

Funny couplets of celebrities singing about the moon Li Shengxian

According to legend, Su Dongpo in the Northern Song Dynasty enjoyed the moon with his family in the Mid-Autumn Festival one year until the middle of the night, and then he chanted a couplet that reads, "Half the night, half the night, and half the night," and asked his three sons to make a couplet for the next couplet. Although there were only five words, it was very difficult: "The first and last words must be the same, and the meaning must be the same before and after. As a result, the third son Su was the smartest and said, "Mid-Autumn in the middle of August." One year on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, Su Xiaomei accompanied Su Dongpo and the monk Fo Yin to enjoy the moon in a boat in the lake. The extraordinary talent of Su Xiaomei recited the above couplet: "Five hundred Luohan crossing the river, the shore of the wave heart of a thousand Buddhas". At this time, the monk Fo Yin looked up at the bright full moon, and blurted out the next couplet: "A beauty reflecting the moon, on earth and in heaven two Canyuan Juan". At the end of the Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, writer and opera theorist Li Yu visited Yangzhou Peach Blossom Nunnery, where the abbot was hospitable and enjoyed the moon with Li Yu on the Deduction Platform. The two of them were in high spirits and made a pair while enjoying the moon. The abbot said: "The moon is on the platform, regardless of spring, summer, fall and winter", Li Yu said: "The wind is in the seat, regardless of north, south, east and west". The abbot also came out with a couplet: "the end of the mountain, to the mountain and far away from the sky", Li Yu pair: "the moon floating on the water, pry open the surface of the moon is still deep". The natural phenomenon, once poetized, will make people feel extraordinarily beautiful.

"Three smiles in marriage" in the Chinese master and Tong Pak Fu couplets even better, the Chinese master said: "ten mouth mind, think of the king think of the people think of the countryside". Tong Pak Fu's couplet says: "Eight eyes are still appreciative, enjoying the stars and the moon and the fragrance of autumn". In the couplet, the words "think" and "appreciate" are respectively written with "ten mouths" plus "heart" and "eight eyes" plus "eight eyes" plus "eight eyes" plus "eight eyes" plus "eight eyes". Eight Eyes" and "Shang" respectively (the traditional Chinese character for appreciation is "赏"). This is a very clever idea.

During the Qing Dynasty, Li Beishui and Zhang Nanyue climbed a building to enjoy the moon on the Mid-Autumn Festival. Li Beishui looked at the Big Dipper and wrote: "The Big Dipper has seven stars and fourteen points in the sky under the water." The name "Bei Shui" is skillfully embedded in the first line. Zhang Nanyue suddenly saw a lone goose flying over the roof of the building, and came up with the following couplet: "A goose in the south building, a pair of flying with shadow in the moon." The next line is embedded with the name "South Moon". It's a different song with the same flavor. On the small Jinshan Island of Slim West Lake in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, there is a "Moon Pavilion" built in the early Qing Dynasty for people to enjoy the scenery on moonlit nights. One year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zheng Banqiao, a famous poet, calligrapher and painter of the Qing Dynasty, traveled here and wrote a handwritten couplet: "The moon is full of water, and the clouds rise from a mountain." This couplet is figurative, apt and full of poetic flavor. Later generations carved it on a pillar, adding to the beautiful scenery of Slender West Lake. Guo Moruo, a great contemporary writer, was very talented and mischievous in his childhood, and often went to steal peaches with his friends. One year, the Mid-Autumn Festival with friends and children to enjoy the moon, his friends and children chanting a couplet tease him that: "Yesterday's stolen peaches drilled the dog hole I do not know who is." Guo Moruo quick-witted look at the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, that is, retorted: "In other years, climbing the laurel to the moon palace must have me." The pair of sentences are opposite to each other, shallow and clear, neat and natural. I think of my family twice as much as I think of them during the festive season. The full and bright Mid-Autumn Moon often makes travelers look at the moon and miss their hometowns. It is said that Mr. Yu Dawei, a famous Taiwanese, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival one year, set up the traditional Moon Festival offerings, lit a bunch of incense, and looked at his hometown under the bright moon, and then waved his pen to make a couplet saying, "The mother's tears fall down the Wujiang River in coldness, and the soul looks at the moon to return to the Shu Road in difficulty." It expresses the strong feelings of Taiwan compatriots who miss their hometowns and long for the reunion across the strait back to their hometowns.

After that, the Liao ambassador proudly recited: three lights, sun, moon and stars; Su Dongpo heard it, but also jumped. Su Dongpo was shocked to hear this. Because the quantitative words in the couplet must be matched with quantitative words. The first couplet used a "three" word, the next couplet should be used "three" other than the number of words, and "three light" under only three words, then, no matter which number of words you use to the right, the following So, no matter which number of words you use, the number of words in the next line will either be more than three or less than three. This is a vice-absolute! Fortunately, Su Dongpo familiar with the "Poetry", he thought a little, he found the answer in the "Poetry". He immediately said:

Four poems of elegance and elegance.

The next line is really wonderful. It is very appropriate to use "four" against "three". However, if the following four words were to be proposed after "four", then they could not be compared with "sun, moon, and stars". The wonderful thing is that the "four poems" proposed by him are only three names, namely, "wind, elegance, and ode". It turns out that the "elegance" part of the Book of Songs can be divided into the "major elegance" and the "minor elegance", so it is commonly known as the "four poems". "The Liao envoy heard this and couldn't help but be amazed by it. After hearing this, the ambassador of Liao nodded his head and was ashamed of himself, not daring to come up with a couplet.

The use of numbers to create couplets will produce a magical, subtle effect. "Lotus flowers on all sides, willows on three sides; a city of mountains and half a city of lakes." Tiantai Mountain, the birthplace of the Tiantai Sect of the Zen Buddhism in China. There is a couplet in the Fang Guang Temple on the mountain: "The sound of wind and water, the sound of insects and birds, the sound of chanting, the total of 360 strokes of the bells and drums, there is no sound is not silent; the color of the moon, the color of the mountains, the color of the grass, the color of the trees, the color of the clouds and the color of the clouds, and the color of the peaks of the 48,000 zhang, the color of the emptiness of all color." Describe, record Zhuge Liang's life achievements of articles and poems can be said to be as many as hair, but I left the deepest impression is the couplet: "Collect two Sichuan row eight array six out of seven captured five zhang Yuan before pointing forty-nine lamps a heart only to reward three Gu; take the western Sichuan set the southern barbarians east and north refused to the Chinese army tent to change the gold, wood and soil GuiYao GuaWater bias can be used to attack by fire". The first line seamlessly string "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten", the second line naturally and gently set "east, west, south, north, gold, wood, water, fire and earth", very well summarized Mr. Kong Ming's character, wisdom and achievements. The use of numbers in the couplet can be described as a brilliant and unforgettable.

The use of Chinese characters to spell out the characteristics of the numbers created by the association is also quite interesting, and quite witty, the Ming Dynasty writer Jiang To answered a number when he was a child, leaving a model for future generations in this area of creation. According to legend, one day in the late fall, Jiang To's father and a friend to talk about poetry, outside the rain suddenly fell snow and rain. Looking at the rain and snow hitting the window, his friend was suddenly inspired and blurted out a couplet: "Frozen rain sprinkles the window, two points from the east and three points from the west". The couplet splits the words "freezing" and "sprinkling" into "two points in the east" and "three points in the west" respectively, which cleverly contains numbers and corresponds to the window view. This is a very clever way to describe the window view. In the face of this tricky couplet, Jiang To's father could not answer for a long time, in order to cover up the embarrassment, busy carrying out a watermelon to entertain the guests. Gazing at his father's action of cutting the watermelon, Jiang To, who was only seven years old, suddenly opened his mouth: "Split the watermelon and slice it into pieces, eight cuts vertically and seven cuts horizontally". A good little Jiang To, the "points", "cut" two words split into "vertical eight knife", "horizontal seven knife", answer The answer to this question is "seven" and "eight", which is a natural and appropriate use of the two numbers, and it is a marvelous pair of words.
