It is not difficult to make couplets, but it is not easy to make beautiful couplets. To distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of couplets, we must first improve our appreciation ability. Therefore, it is beneficial to read and remember more famous ancient and modern sentences. Here are some couplets to enjoy with friends.
1. Wind, rain and reading.
Wind and rain, reading, hearing.
Family affairs, state affairs and everything in the world care about everything.
This couplet was written by Gu Xiancheng, the leader of Lindong Party in Ming Dynasty ("Talking about the Interest of Honesty" 275). Gu founded Donglin Academy in Wuxi. After giving lectures, he often comments on state affairs. Later, people used it to advocate "saving the country and not forgetting to study", which still has positive significance. The first couplet combines the sound of reading with the sound of wind and rain, which is both poetic and meaningful. The bottom line is the ambition to rule the country and level the world. Wind to rain, home to country, ears to heart. Extremely neat, especially when used with words, such as the sound of books.

The couplet is a eulogy for the 80th birthday of Qianlong, which is about cutting people (Qianlong), land (Wansongling) and time (Double Ninth Festival). Moreover, it adopts the method of dividing characters (eighteen gongs in Song Dynasty), overlapping characters (everywhere, year after year) and self-respect of inverted characters (eighty, eighteen; 10% off, 10% off) high skill, not a cliche, not a word game, although it is flattering, it can be described as the best couplet.

This couplet is also very particular about the use of allusions. The first story with "Feng Xuan Guest" and the next story with "Su Qin and Lian Heng suing Qin" are all from the Warring States Policy.

After returning to China, he became a professor and librarian of Shanghai Nanyang University (predecessor of Jiaotong University). During the Anti-Japanese War, Aiko paid homage to his own death in Myanmar, because he wrote "Crying for Children", which was painful and drowned his mind in wine. Wu used to be the director of Taicang Library, a famous scholar, and made friends with Hu. The first part says, "My brother left silently, leaving a sad image of crying his son and drinking hard." The second part says, "Your son can't come back even if he wants to, so he has to let the fallen flowers of spring bury your poetic soul in the wind and rain. "This couplet skillfully uses the homonym of" elder brother ",which makes" knowledge "and" silence "in sharp contrast. It uses" Zigui "to homonymize homesickness and even the crying cuckoo" Zigui ",and uses overlapping words, such as whimpering. The beauty of antithesis has profound implications, and the feelings of grief and indignation are vividly expressed by artistic means, which can be called elegiac couplet.
