Chapter 44 Couplet
At this moment, Mr. Xiao and his son walked into the school together. Chen Hang bowed to his father, and quickly ran to his seat and sat down.The gentleman walked to his desk, cleared his throat, and said: "Students, please be quiet, the teacher is about to start teaching."

The students immediately sat down and listened to the teacher.

"My teacher has already told you about the origin of couplets before, because Yunxia didn't enter the school at that time, so I will briefly review it here, and others will also take the opportunity to review." Mr. walked to the center of the room and stood still, tall and erect , wearing a moon white jacket that made him look more refined and elegant.

"Couples are also called couplets, and the common saying is also called pairs. The antithesis is neat, harmonious, and concise. The rumors, poems, etc. circulated in ancient times contain many antithetical sentences. The couplets evolved from the couplets. Up to now, the couplets have developed again, which indirectly promoted the perfection of regulated poetry." Mr. Tracing back to the source, he explained the origin of the couplets clearly in a few sentences.

Yunxia liked the auspicious and festive sentences on the Spring Festival couplets since she was a child, and she bought a book on this topic when she was in college. Now she feels like walking through the long river of history, listening to the ancient sages explain the couplets in detail, and she is very excited.

"I once talked about the couplet written by Kong Rong in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Do you still remember the content?" The teacher smiled and looked around the students, waiting for their answer.

Ju Lian got up to salute and replied loudly: "Students, remember, the ten words in the couplet are: the seat is full at the away game, and the wine in the glass is not empty."

The gentleman nodded and said with a smile, "exactly, this is a sentence in the poem written by Kong Rong. He wrote this sentence alone and hung it in the guest room, which was the first couplet. But let's talk about the couplet in the true sense. , the couplet written by Meng Chang is none other than the couplet. Can anyone tell me about the couplet of Meng Xueshi?"

"Sir, it's the New Year Na Yuqing, and the Jiajie is Changchun." Yun Hui replied eagerly.

The husband nodded in satisfaction and said, "Yunhui got the answer right, very good!"

That Yunhui was praised by her husband, she shook her head, her face was full of complacency, and she glanced vigorously at Yunxia with her eyes, as if she was a villain.

Yunxia pretended not to see her scratching her head and posing beside her, and didn't even shake her off.

The teacher continued to talk about the deployment of the tones of the couplets, from the two-character couplets to the seven-character couplets, emphasizing that the corresponding words of the upper and lower couplets must be reversed, as well as the regular and declension forms of the couplets, and their respective levels. law……

Yunxia learned a lot about couplets from her husband's eloquence. She greedily sucked the essence of these traditional cultures and felt that she had gained a lot.

Ju Lian quietly looked at Yun Xia, and saw that the girl was sitting upright, with bright eyes and a smile like a flower, listening intently and earnestly to her husband's lecture; on the other hand, Yun Hui, who was beside her, was much more slack.

Withdrawing his gaze, although Ju Lian's face was calm and unwavering, the steelyard in his heart was seriously tilted, and he fell straight to Yunxia's side. He only felt that Yunxia was slender and unparalleled, her face was like jade, and the breeze of Xiuzhu was as beautiful as spring. My liking has grown a lot.

With the beautiful woman at his side, the young man's heart is content and sweet, and the corners of his lips are raised higher and higher.

The teacher reviewed the content taught before, and then entered the new content, and began to talk about the composition of the couplet.

The teacher said that the most basic method of couplets is to couplets and couplets. The upper and lower couplets must have their own emphasis. Through mutual cooperation, they can be fully integrated and express the theme.The second is the beginning and closing, echoing, symmetry, and balance between the couplets... The students were fascinated by the words.

In order to let the students have a better understanding, the teacher gave some good couplets to comprehend the meaning of them together with everyone.

"In the one-character couplet, it is best to use ink to spring. The ink characters can be disassembled into upper black and lower soil, while the spring is upper white and lower water. Black and white are opposite. Earth and water are both one of the five elements, and the two characters match each other. , echo well, and the combination is ingenious.”

The students nodded one after another. After such a detailed explanation by the teacher, it is really the same thing.Everyone was more interested, and they all pricked up their ears to listen to the teacher continue to talk about the two-character couplet.

The husband gave a lot of examples of two-character couplets, and the recitations are catchy.After he finished reading it once, he asked the students to memorize it again.

Spring flowers face autumn moon, sun and moon face mountains and rivers.Xiangyun is to Ruixue, and Mu Yu is to Chaoyan.The willow embankment faces the flower garden, and the ravine faces the peaks and mountains.The shape of the mountain is to the terrain, and the beauty is to Tengfang.Nanshan faces Beihai, and Beidou faces Dongfeng.Hanfu is to Chu Ci, and Shushan is to Xuehai.Dianmo is to Fengya, and praise is to Proverbs.Double Ninth Festival versus Qixi Festival, Winter Solstice versus Autumnal Equinox...

For a while, the sound of reading aloud in the school was very loud and filled the ears, overshadowing the chirping birdsong on the big tree outside the school.

After learning the two-character couplet, the teacher asked everyone to rest for a while.The students were ordered to rush out and relax in the yard.The teenagers laughed happily and released their inexhaustible energy.A few girls watched the teenagers run wildly in the sun with admiration in their eyes.

Yun Xiao and Yun Zhong, who were younger, played together.Yun Zhong was complacent about his sister being praised by his husband, and now he showed it off in front of Yun Xiao.

"Brother Xiao, just now my sister was praised by the husband again." When Yun Zhong said this, his voice was full of complacency.

"Sister Hui is often praised, but my husband said that my sister is not bad, and when my sister keeps up with her studies, she will be just like Sister Hui."

"How can Sister Xia be as smart as my sister? Everyone says that my sister is smart and Xia is stupid." Yun Zhong yelled.

"Who said that? My sister is not stupid, my sister is also smart." Yun Xiao muttered dissatisfied.

Yun Zhong raised his voice and yelled, "My elder sister has been rewarded by the Empress Empress in the poetry competition, what about elder sister Xia? She can't even compose a poem."

"My elder sister didn't learn poetry, but now she has started to learn, and she will be able to compose poetry in a short time." Yun Xiao refuted it with a stiff neck.

The two children's argument became louder and louder, and several girls heard it.

Complacent in her heart, Yun Hui took the lead to walk over there, Yun Xia snorted coldly in her heart, and followed.Yaohua pulled Junxian and rushed over.

Yun Hui walked up to Yun Xiao, grabbed his collar and said, "Brother Xiao, you are an older brother, why are you yelling at your loyal brother?"

Yun Xiao felt aggrieved and said, "Sister Hui, it was my loyal brother who yelled at me first, so I yelled louder."

Yunxia had already come to Yunxiao's side at this time, she stared at Yunhui and said, "Let go, you are a big sister, why are you grabbing Brother Xiao by the collar? You just know that Brother Xiao should be courteous to his loyal brother, but you bully Brother Xiao, isn't that true?" Are two sets of standards right? Are you embarrassed?"

Being reprimanded by Yunxia's righteous words, Yunhui had no choice but to let go of Yunxiao's collar.As in the past, if she did this, how could Shi Yunxia dare to say anything, but today is fine, she dared to embarrass me?In a moment of anger, he threw a tantrum: "Sister Xia is wronging my sister with her eyes open. Yunxiao and I are used to making out with each other. It's common for us to hold his collar like this. I don't mean to bully him. How can you bully him? I blame my sister, my sister is so sad."

After Yun Hui finished speaking, she raised her sleeves to cover her face and began to cry.
