Couplets are also called couplets, and are known as? Poetry in poetry? Compared with poems, couplets are shorter, but concise and meaningful. Since ancient times, it has always been a favorite literary form of China people, especially in ancient times, when the overall social entertainment activities were not rich, and couplets were given more significance such as making friends and entertainment.

Since ancient times, there has been no shortage of child prodigies in China. For example, in the Warring States Period, Gan Luo was worshipped by Qin Shihuang at the age of twelve, and won more than a dozen cities for Qin without bloodshed. Although these prodigies are inexperienced, they often have original opinions. What's more? Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers? Adults are often amazed when they open their mouths.

prodigies are called prodigies because they are few and far between since childhood. Most of them are highly accomplished in poetry, literature, etc., even the elderly are often ashamed of themselves.

In the Song Dynasty, there was a prodigy named Lai Qishang. He was brilliant since he was a child. He was proficient in poetry and everything, and he had a great reputation in Shili Baxiang.

When Lai Qi was nine years old, a local official heard of his name as a child prodigy, and specially came to the door to test his knowledge. After seeing Lai Qishang, the minister said to him:? I heard that you can recite poems at an early age, but now I want to test you. ? Lai Qishan respectfully asked the minister to give a question after listening.

after hearing this, the minister opened his mouth and made a couplet: new ginger is not as spicy as old ginger.

there is a famous saying in ancient China? Is ginger still old and spicy? This minister must be a conceited person, too. It gives people a feeling of running away.

However, Lai Qishang is still worthy of the name of a child prodigy. He also heard that there was contempt in the first couplet, and after a little thinking, he made the second couplet:

The minister was very surprised when he heard the second couplet. He wanted to discourage him, but he got the upper hand. Although the old ginger is spicy and the new bamboo shoots are sharper, even if the minister is well informed, he has to admit Lai Qishang's name as a child prodigy.

But although Lai Qi was a child prodigy, he didn't make any achievements when he grew up. Maybe he should have said that? It's hours, but big is not necessarily good? . People can only make continuous progress by continuous learning, otherwise even prodigies will eventually be? How can you forget everyone? .
