Withered vines twined around the old trees, and crows returning to their nests at dusk were perched on the branches. Under the small bridge, the water gurgled, and there were several families nearby. In the ancient wilderness, the autumn wind was bleak, and a tired and thin horse carried me. Hobbling forward. The setting sun slowly sets to the west, reflecting the sunset, and the sad and heartbroken people are still wandering at the end of the world.

Li Weng Duiyun" Author: Li Yu (1611-1680), formerly known as Xianlu, also known as Tianzheng, later changed his name to Yu, with the courtesy name Li Weng, Li Hong, and Ban Fan. Li Yu's ancestral home was in Licun, Lanxi, Zhejiang, and he was born in Pheasant Gao (now Rugao, Jiangsu). Li Yu was an outstanding drama and novel writer in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty. The rhyme book he wrote based on "Rhythm Enlightenment" for poetry is called "Li Weng Duiyun".

Li Weng's Antiphonal Rhymes is an enlightenment book for people in ancient times to learn to write modern poetry and lyrics, and to familiarize themselves with antiphons, rhyme and organization of words. The author, Li Yu, also had the courtesy name Li Weng, so it is called "Li Weng Duiyun". The whole book is divided into upper and lower volumes. It is organized according to rhyme, including virtual and real responses to astronomy, geography, flowers and trees, birds and beasts, people, utensils, etc. From single-character pairs to two-character pairs, three-character pairs, five-character pairs, seven-character pairs to eleven-character pairs, the sounds and rhymes are harmonious and catchy, and you can get training in pronunciation, vocabulary, and rhetoric. From single words to multi-word pairs, it reads like a song. Compared with other three-character and four-character sentence patterns, it has more charm.

In fact, Li Weng's antiphonal rhyme is talking about the general law of duality, but it is just some examples. For example, "the sky is opposite to the earth, the rain is to the wind" only means that the sky can be opposite to the earth, and the rain can be opposite to the wind. Relative, not absolute, and from this point of view, it is not easy to translate into modern languages. In fact, the emergence of Li Weng's antiphonal rhyme (or antiphonal essays such as Rhythm Enlightenment) only allows children to form some basic feelings about antithesis, which is meaningless in itself. When we let children learn this now, it is only to let children feel the rhythm of ancient prose. Beauty, from this point of view, it is not worth the gain to destroy these rhythmic beauties and pursue meaningless modern translations.
