Pu Songling wrote a couplet

Zhuantou Ming Gezi;

The dog's butt makes a sound.

——In Pu Songling's "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio·Poems of Waterbirds", Wang Yan and Fang Yun face each other

In his "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", Pu Songling once wrote: Use clever couplets frequently to add color to your works. Such a couplet: Wang Yan was showing off his literary talents in Huan Weng's daughter Fang Yun. When he was reciting his favorite work "Water Bird Poems", there was a sentence in it: "The head of the head is ringing." Fang Yun immediately said: "The dog's butt is ringing." Guba." It means calling his article like bullshit.

The title of the photo is "Not alike";

The Milky Way is "helpless".

——The dialogue between Fan Ziwen and Qiu Lu in Pu Songling's "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio: Poem of Waterbirds"

There is a passage in "Aunt Qiu" where Qiu Lu mistakenly enters Fan Ziwen Garden Inside, when he saw Ziwen coming out, he fled in a hurry and threw himself into the stream. Fan Ziwen asked someone to rescue him and entertain him with wine. During the banquet, Qiu Lu stood up to say goodbye. Fan Ziwen pushed him into his seat and said, "I have a music video to show you. If you can respect me, I will let you go." Wu Lu only asked for advice. Fan Ziwen said: "The name of the photo is 'Hun Bu Yi';" Qiu Lu thought for a long time and said, "Yinhe is helpless." Fan Ziwen was overjoyed and later recruited Qiu Lu as his son-in-law. The couplets written by Pu Songling are easy to understand and full of charm.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven;

Filial piety, loyalty, trustworthiness, etiquette, justice and integrity.

——Pu Songling inscribed the Merit Arch of Wang Banchao in Linchi, Shandong Province

There was a hereditary big bureaucrat named "Wang Banchao" in Linchi, Shandong Province. This person relies on his power to bully others and does all kinds of evil. Because of his high official position and many minions, the people were oppressed by him and could not complain. They only dared to be angry and dare not speak out. Because he was ranked eighth, people secretly called him "the bastard". One year, Wang Banchao built a tall "merit archway". On the day of its completion, a special banquet was held to invite the famous scholar Pu Songling to inscribe a plaque and couplets. Pu Songling was as hateful as an enemy, and he wanted to reject Wang Banchao's invitation outright, but then he thought about it, why not use this to ridicule him? Therefore, I brought my fighting pen and inscribed a plaque with the four characters "Elder of the Three Dynasties" written on it. When Wang Banchao saw him, he was extremely happy. Then Pu Songling wrote this couplet again with flying colors. After finishing the book, Pu Songling said goodbye and left. Wang Banchao was puzzled by his meaning. A flattering subordinate said: "This is a tribute to the great man of great virtue and righteousness: one filial piety, two brotherhood, three loyalty, four faith, five etiquette, six righteousness and seven integrity." After carving the stone, people burst into laughter. It turns out that this is a couplet with missing characters at the end. The word "eight" is missing in the first couplet, implying the meaning of "王(forgetting) eight", and the word "shame" is missing in the second couplet, implying the meaning of "shameless". In ancient times, it was called "filial piety, loyalty, trust, etiquette, justice, integrity and shame" as the eight virtues. Pu Songling called him "a veteran of three dynasties and a shameless bastard". It is very satisfying to read. This couplet has been borrowed by many people since then, mainly to satirize treacherous ministers, warlords, corrupt officials, etc. For example, Yuan Shikai and others have sent this couplet.

The one who kills my lord is my enemy;

The one who kills my enemy is my lord.

——Pu Songling wrote about the birthday of Wang Banchao in Linchi, Shandong Province

Soon, Wang Banchao was going to celebrate his birthday. He wanted to hire someone to write a "longevity essay", but he didn't dare to ask Pu Songling. Because I made trouble for him last time. Pu Songling calculated that the people he wanted to invite would all be idiots and couldn't write, so he wrote a couplet in advance and gave it to a restaurant, saying: "This is a 'longevity essay'. You can go to Wang Baze's house and sell it for fifty Two silver coins." The restaurant came to Wang Baze's house and said they were selling "Shou Wen". Wang Banchao was anxious because he couldn't write the longevity essay, so he spent fifty taels of silver to buy it. When I opened the Shouwen, I saw it read: "The one who kills my master is my enemy, and the one who kills my enemy is my master.

"With these two sentences, Wang Banchao was able to protect the two "masters" of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and even wrote the entire scandalous history of King Li Chuang as his enemy.

Amei naturally liked it, and the two became husband and wife, which was embedded in Jin Amei's poem. The four directional words "East, South, West, and North" also include the four star names "Qiming, Changgeng, Antarctic, and Beidou". They cleverly use questions and puns to find the "star-picking hand" in the name, and actually look for "Ruyi Lang" "; Zhang Zhongjie's second couplet uses the four seasons of "spring, summer, autumn and winter" and the four kinds of flowers "peony, peony, chrysanthemum and plum blossom". Compared with the "four directions" and "four stars" in the first couplet, they are ingenious and naturally appropriate. , and finally answered with "I am the flower hunter", which is sonorous and meaningful. It is the "hunter" of "the number one scholar controls the flower". It also shows that I am the prince charming in your heart, which is thought-provoking.
