This couplet looks very simple at first glance, and it is easy to correct it. But if you look closely, you will find the mystery. It is a palindrome couplet. A palindrome couplet is a difficult but interesting type of couplet. It uses the form of palindrome.
The written couplet can be read forward or backward. Not only does its meaning remain the same, it is also quite interesting.
This couplet hanging in the lobby of the passenger station has the same meaning when read from the beginning to the back or from the back to the front, but it is coherent and has its own artistic conception. Moreover, this couplet is not a simple palindromic couplet, it belongs to the
What is more difficult is that it not only requires that it can be read smoothly and accurately, but also requires that it be consistent and have artistic conception.
Zhu Ping'an raised his head and read the couplet, and curled his lips slightly. He once enjoyed the convenience of the Internet, and he could recall four or five second couplets at once. What kind of difficult couplets have not been seen on the modern Internet, it is known as
The most difficult couplet of all time cannot withstand the collective efforts of netizens. Of course, I can also create several original couplets for this couplet without cheating, and my own level is not bad.
"Hey, you start with the first couplet first. If you can't do it, I'll take your horse away immediately." The clerk who had finished registering at the counter immediately walked over to Zhu Pingan and pointed at the first couplet, which is Jing.
Quanshan urged with an impatient look.
The store clerk simply didn't believe that Zhu Ping'an could figure out this couplet.
"The mountain springs are quiet on Jingquan Mountain."
Zhu Pingan looked up at the couplet and read it softly.
Hey, I didn’t expect this country bumpkin to know how to read. Many people in the lobby were a little surprised by this. Just now, Zhu Pingan was able to read the couplets to the waiter at the door. Some people in the lobby thought that Zhu Pingan might be a tricker. I heard it from hearsay, but after seeing
Zhu Ping'an read the couplet softly, but he was still a little surprised.
"Repeating it does not count as a couplet." The store clerk said this sentence first this time, and added at the end, "What others have said does not count as a couplet."
"You really think too much. I don't know what couplets others are talking about." Zhu Pingan glanced at the store clerk and said calmly.
"I bet you were eavesdropping at the door." The store clerk glanced at Zhu Ping'an with a strange look and snorted softly.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Zhu Pingan asked calmly.
"I have a couplet here, let me tell you, you can't repeat it." The shop assistant said, took out a delicate thin book, opened the first page and started reading. In fact, there are words on the first page, so
There are only two or three lower lines.
This time, the store clerk learned the lesson just now and left no chance for Zhu Ping'an to get lucky.
"The water in the Qingshui Pond is clear. This has been corrected. You can't use it anymore. There are two other ones, the red towel in the tent is red, and the red wine in the red wine is crisp red. You can't use it anymore. Hmm
, you start right."
After reading it, the store clerk began to urge Zhu Pingan to recite the couplet.
"The springs on Jingquan Mountain are quiet, and the water in Qingshui Lake is clear." Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly and said the couplet.
"It doesn't count, it doesn't count, it's just a different word!"
The store clerk's face turned dark when he heard this. He replaced the word "Tang" with the word "湖" and thought it was another couplet! Think I'm a pig! If this can be used as a couplet, then the people in the lobby
Why are you still worrying so much? If you can replace it with "王", "波", "江", "河", etc., everyone can figure out this couplet! How can it be called difficult to correct!
"Oh. Changing one word doesn't count." Zhu Ping'an nodded as if he suddenly understood, and then continued. "So, the springs on Jingquan Mountain are quiet, and the lakes in Xiangshui Lake are loud."
"It doesn't matter if I change two words!"
When the shop clerk heard this, his face became even darker, and he was so excited that he almost spit saliva in Zhu Ping'an's face! Damn, I just said that changing one word wouldn't work, so just change two words, replace the word "Tang" with the word "湖"
, and replaced "Qing" with "Xing"! You are calling this a couplet, so leave quickly to save yourself the embarrassment!
"Oh, it doesn't matter if I change two words." Zhu Ping'an nodded again with sudden realization, and then continued lightly, "What about this, the springs on Jingquan Mountain are quiet, and the mountains on Xiangshi Mountain are ringing."
Just now I said it’s not okay to repeat it, so just change it to another word!
I said again that if you can’t change one word, just change two words!
If I tell you that changing two words won’t work, just change three words!
"Just now you mentioned Xiangshui Lake, and now you're talking about Xiangshi Mountain. You're just making it up. There's no lake or mountain with such a name!" The shop clerk's face was almost turned into ashes, and his nostrils were full of ash.
Thick smoke almost spewed out, and I was almost blown away.
"On the outskirts of the capital, west of the Mutianyu Great Wall in Huairou, nearly 50 miles away from the county seat, there is a large canyon with a radius of dozens of miles. There is a waterfall and spring pool in the valley. At the source of the spring, the spring gushes like a gush, and the water sounds like thunder.
The sound of running water can be heard outside, hence the name 'Xiangshui Lake'."
"In Hengxi Town, Xianju County, Taizhou, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there is a mountain with towering cliffs, suspended stone beams, criss-cross ravines, gurgling streams, lush vegetation, birds singing and flowers fragrant. There is a kind of ore with hollow gravel in the mountain that looks like a bell. It makes a ringing sound when it shakes.
Stone Mountain.”
Zhu Ping'an looked at the dark face of the shop clerk, smiled slightly, and in a gentle but clear voice told the location and origin of Xiangshui Lake and Xiangshi Mountain one by one.
"Hey, Vincent, do you think what he said is true?" The well-dressed young man pushed the young man named Vincent next to him and asked casually.
"I don't know much about Xiangshi Mountain, but I do know about Xiangshui Lake in the suburbs of Beijing. My family has a farm not far away. My brother and I once made tea with the lake water, and it tasted very delicious."
Vincent's young man looked at Zhu Ping'an and replied softly. He became more and more interested in this poor country boy in the lobby who looked simple and honest on the surface. He was knowledgeable and well-informed, so this young man was indeed extraordinary.
"Well, even if there are really these two places, you are just opportunistic and can't be counted!" The store clerk was a little incoherent.
"Oh, that's it." Zhu Ping'an said in almost the same tone as the previous times, and then said lightly, "That's it."
ah?
besides!
The store clerk swallowed his saliva and looked at Zhu Pingan nervously.
Zhu Ping'an ignored the store clerk's nervousness, slightly raised the corners of his lips, and continued calmly, "The springs are quiet on Jingquan Mountain, and the vines are dry beside the withered vine rock. Is this the second line okay?"
After he finished speaking, Zhu Ping'an continued talking to himself, "Maybe the artistic conception is a little unsatisfactory, and the upper and lower couplets don't quite echo each other. What about this one? The mountains and springs are quiet on the Jingquan Mountain, and the moon is bright on the bank of the bright moon. What do you think?"
After saying that, Zhu Pingan looked at the store clerk innocently and asked whether the couplet he had paired was appropriate.
As for the store clerk, he was shocked to the core by now. The corners of his mouth twitched and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't do anything except swallow his saliva. He was stunned by Zhu Ping'an's casual couplet.
.
The couplets can actually be paired like this! (To be continued)
