What do you think of the first couplet: Jin Mu, fire and water, He Shen and Ji Xiaolan, each taking the couplet, and competing with each other?
Historically, we all know that the Qing Dynasty closed its doors to the outside world, which led to the Qing Dynasty gradually falling behind the world. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial court was corrupt, but the Qing Dynasty was not always so corrupt, and there were many wise kings. Among them, Emperor Qianlong is one of them, and it has been filmed into many TV dramas and widely circulated today.
When it comes to the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong must be the most legendary. After the strong foundation laid by Kangxi and Yongzheng, when Qianlong was in office, the country was peaceful and the people were safe, and there was plenty of food. Therefore, while Qianlong was in office, he was diligent in political affairs, and he could also travel around and make friends. Ganlong loves to visit the south of the Yangtze River, especially to write poems. He left more than 2, poems in his lifetime. His poems were often inspired by the heart and obscure, so few of them were finally sung. In addition to writing poems, Ganlong also loved couplets.
In ancient times, people didn't have as many entertainment facilities as mobile phones and computers today, so they usually did crossword puzzles. As we all know, there are two very famous minions around Qianlong, one is Ji Xiaolan with iron teeth and copper teeth, and the other is He Shen, a big corrupt official. According to historical records, when traveling incognito to Jiangnan privately, due to hunger, Gan Long and the two courtiers went to the hotel to eat and drink together. In order to kill time while waiting for the food to be served, they decided to have fun with couplets.
At this time, Gan Long casually said that Jin Mu's fire, water and soil was the upper part, which seemed simple, but it was not easy. Obviously, Gan Long wanted to make things difficult for Ji Xiaolan, a so-called great talent, but He Shen on the side made a lower part in five directions in order to show himself. Although it is very antithetical, this couplet has no depth and cannot reflect the realm of matching with the upper couplet. At this time, Ji Xiaolan slowly spoke his own bottom line:? Bancheng Shaoguo wine? This implies the bottom link of the five elements as a response. Laughing and praising Ji Xiaolan all the time? Sure enough, the name of a great genius is true. ? From the bottom line of Ji Xiaolan and He Shen, we can see that Ji Xiaolan is better than He Shen.
The world is endless, which brings us endless exploration. Although science and technology are developed now, no one can recite poems against it any more, it has always been the traditional culture of our country, which is buried with the wisdom and sweat of countless ancient people. We need more strength to protect and inherit the excellent wisdom tradition of China.
