How to distinguish between up and down links? Remember the ups and downs.
How to distinguish Spring Festival couplets from bottom couplets? Yesterday, Zhong Yiming, a lecturer in classical poetry appreciation at Hubei University of Economics, introduced that couplets have strict antithesis requirements, and the upper and lower couplets must not be reversed, and the requirements of "leveling" must be followed. The last word of the upper couplet is flat, and the last word of the lower couplet is flat, so the order of the upper couplet and the lower couplet can be distinguished.
What is a flat tone? Teacher Zhong explained that four tones are four tones in ancient Chinese, and even tones are distinguished according to the traditional four tones. The traditional four tones are flat tone, rising tone, falling tone and entering tone, which are called flat tone, rising tone, falling tone and entering tone for short. In modern Mandarin Chinese, Pingsheng is divided into Yin Pingping and Yang Pingping. The entering tone has disappeared, which are classified into flat tone, rising tone, rising tone and falling tone respectively. To put it simply, generally speaking, one or two tones are flat and three or four tones are awkward, but there will be exceptions when entering the tone, so you must look it up in the dictionary to judge.
For example, Du Fu's poem "Two orioles sing green willows, and a row of egrets go up to the sky." It follows the requirement of "flat and flat". The third sound of the last word "Liu" in the previous sentence is purring, and the first sound of the last word "Tian" in the next sentence is flat. These two sentences are also connected from top to bottom, and the order cannot be reversed.
For another example, in the Spring Festival couplets, the last word "Zi" in the first part of the couplets is pronounced "Cuo", and the last word "Hua" in the second part is pronounced "Ping".
How should I post Spring Festival couplets? Tradition is upper right and lower left.
Stick the lintel horizontally, and stick the upper couplet and the lower couplet on both sides of the gate respectively, but which couplet is stuck on the left and which couplet is stuck on the right? The expert's answer is: the traditional Spring Festival couplets should be on the right, and the bottom couplets are on the left. But according to modern custom, there is nothing wrong with linking left and right.
The reporter visited some street shops yesterday and found that citizens posted Spring Festival couplets at will. The reporter interviewed six citizens at random in the street, and four of them thought that the upper part should be on the left and the lower part should be on the right. Miss Liu, who just joined the work, said, "I think reading from left to right is very smooth." A citizen is not sure about the posting order of couplets. A citizen believes that the upper part is on the right and the lower part is on the left.
Mr. Wei Huitai, consultant of Hubei couplet society, introduced that the traditional writing method of Spring Festival couplets should be from right to left. When pasting Spring Festival couplets, face the gate, paste couplets on the right and on the left. In calligraphy creation, everyone has always followed the writing style from right to left. "But there are fewer and fewer modern calligraphy Spring Festival couplets, and the printed Spring Festival couplets are mostly from left to right. According to modern people's reading habits, people become upper left couplets and lower right couplets. No matter what the left and right order of the upper and lower links is, it is not a mistake. "
How to post Spring Festival couplets? Wei Huitai said that if the content of the horizontal batch is arranged from right to left, it is best to stick it according to the tradition, that is, the upper part is posted on the right and the lower part is posted on the left; If the content of the horizontal batch is arranged from left to right, it is ok to upload it on the left and download it on the right.
