Concentrate on reviewing and preparing for the high school entrance examination. How to correct the second line? You must adopt it.
The first couplet: review with concentration and study for the high school entrance examination; the second couplet: forge ahead to welcome good results
The following is a brief introduction to some basic rules for couplets:
(1) The upper and lower couplets The number of words must be equal, and repeated words cannot be used.
(2) The last sentence of the first couplet must be in oblique tone, and the last character of the next couplet must be in flat tone.
(3) The sentence patterns of the upper and lower couplets must be consistent (similar parts of speech and corresponding structures).
(4) The flat and oblique characters in the upper and lower lines must be opposite to each other. Where the upper couplet uses flat-sound characters, the second line must use oblique-sound characters, and vice versa (ping: flat-sound characters; oblique, oblique-sound characters, including (a character with three tones: 上, going, and enter).
(5) The meanings of the upper and lower couplets can be similar or opposite. They can only say one thing, or they may also say two things separately.
The antithesis between couplets and verses has a relationship of inheritance and evolution. The rhythm of verses and the principle of "no matter one, three, and five, but two, four, and six are clear" also apply to couplets. As for the number of words in each couplet, there is no limit, ranging from four, five, six, seven, eight, nine to several or hundreds of words, as long as there is something to say and it can be paired. The following examples illustrate this:
The motherland’s mountains and rivers are strong; the people’s years are new.
(廻仄平平廄, 平平廄廄平.)
The "motherland" and "mountains and rivers" in the first line and the "people" and "years" in the second line are all nouns. The last word "zhuang" in the first line and the last word "xin" in the second line are both adjectives. They are relative to each other and harmonious. The content and form are consistent with the five rules mentioned above.
In short, the phonology and harmony of couplets should be harmonious. The language is concise, consistent with the rules, and has certain content. The words are not relative to each other, the flatness and obliqueness are inconsistent, or the slogan-like sentences are divided into two lines, they cannot be regarded as couplets.
At the same time, the contents of the upper and lower couplets must have a certain connection, but they cannot be similar or repeated. Similar couplets are commonly known as "gassho pairs", such as "New Year welcomes five blessings, Spring Festival welcomes three more blessings", in which " "New Year" and "Spring Festival", "Ying" and "Receive" all agree that such couplets are traditionally considered taboo in making couplets.
