His couplets are excellent, and many wonderful couplets have been handed down from generation to generation. Zhu Yuanzhang advocated antithetical couplets, which can be described as "the first achievement in ancient and modern times" and played an irreplaceable role in the development and improvement of antithetical couplets. To this end, the world gave Zhu Yuanzhang the title of "the son of heaven".
He also paired up with children, looked for pairs from the people, wrote couplets to reward courtiers, wrote couplets for the people, and wrote couplets for brothels, which was unprecedented among emperors in previous dynasties.

Say that finish let ministers want to bottom allied, but ministers looked at each other speechless, so Zhu Yuanzhang ourtenant looked at Liu Bowen, waiting for Liu Bowen to answer.
man of great talent, Liu Bowen, had a plan in mind, so he calmly answered the bottom line: a chess game, cars without wheels, horses without feet, guns without fireworks like toothless, as a general. Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "I'm a very clever first couplet, but it's an absolute forever!" No one can match the bottom line except Liu Aiqing! Liu Aiqing is really quick-witted and witty! " Liu Bowen knelt down and thanked him, saying, "Your majesty is ridiculous, and I am ashamed!"
