Chapter 261 Oh, what about this?
Jingquan Mountain Spring Jing
This couplet looks very simple at first, and it is easy to figure it out, but if you look closely, you will find the mystery. This is A palindromic couplet. Palindrome couplets are a difficult but interesting type of couplets. They are written in palindrome form and can be read forward or backward. Not only does its meaning remain the same, it's also quite interesting.
The 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 is one of the more difficult ones. It not only requires that it can be read smoothly and accurately, but also requires consistency and artistic conception.
Zhu Pingan raised his head to read this couplet and curled his lips slightly. He once enjoyed the convenience of the Internet and could recall four or five second couplets at once. I have never seen any difficult couplets on the modern Internet. Even the couplets that are said to be the most difficult to correct throughout the ages cannot withstand the collective efforts of netizens. Of course, for this couplet, I can also create several original couplets without cheating, and my level is not bad.
"Well, you start with the first couplet. 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 expression.
The store clerk simply didn’t believe that Zhu Ping’an could figure out this couplet.
"The springs on Jingquan Mountain are quiet."
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 given by the waiter at the door. Some people in the lobby thought that Zhu Pingan might be a wise man. I heard it from hearsay, but I was a little surprised to see Zhu Pingan read the couplet softly.
"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 I really think too much, and I don’t know what the couplets are talking about." Zhu Pingan glanced at the store clerk and said lightly.
"I bet you were eavesdropping at the door." The store clerk glanced at Zhu Ping'an up and down with a strange look and snorted.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Zhu Pingan asked lightly.
"I have a couplet here, let me tell you, you can't repeat it." The shop clerk said and took out a delicate thin book, opened the first page and started reading, which is actually the first page. There are only two or three second lines on a page.
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 revealed. You can't use it anymore. There are two more. The red scarf in the tent is red, and the red wine in the red wine is red. You can both It can’t be used anymore. Well, you start right.”
After reading, the store clerk began to urge Zhu Pingan to read 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!”
When the store clerk heard this, his face turned dark. He replaced the word "tang" with the word "lake" and thought it was another couplet! Think I am a pig! If these can be used as couplets, then why are people in the lobby so worried? If they can be replaced with "wang", "bo", "jiang", "he", etc., everyone can make this couplet. Got it! What's the point of calling it difficult?
"Oh, changing a word doesn't count." Zhu Pingan nodded as if he suddenly realized it, 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 store clerk heard this, his face became even darker, and he almost spit in Zhu Ping'an's face with excitement! Nima just said that changing one word won't work, so you should change two words now, replace the word "Tang" with the word "湖", and replace the word "清" with the word "ring"! You're calling this a couplet meeting. 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, "So, the mountains on Jingquan Mountain are quiet, and the mountains on Xiangshi Mountain are quiet. Zhongshan rocks.”
Uh
Just now I said it’s not okay to repeat it, so just change it to another word!
I said again that changing one word is not enough, so just change two words!
I said again that changing two words won’t work, so just change three words!
"Just now you mentioned Xiangshui Lake, and now you talk about Xiangshi Mountain. You are making it up. There is no lake or mountain with such a name!" The shop clerk's face almost turned into the bottom of a pot. It was gray, smoke was almost coming out of his nostrils, and he was about to explode with anger.
"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. It is thousands of meters away. The sound of running water can be heard outside, so it is named 'Xiangshui Lake'."
"There is a mountain with steep cliffs in Hengxi Town, Xianju County, Taizhou, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. There are vertical stone beams, crisscross ravines, gurgling streams, lush vegetation, birds singing and flowers fragrant. There is a kind of hollow gravel-shaped ore in the mountain that makes a sound when it shakes, so it is named Xiangshi Mountain. "
Zhu Ping'an looked at the store. The waiter's dark face smiled slightly, and in a gentle but clear voice he explained the location and origin of Xiangshui Lake and Xiangshi Mountain.
"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 from it. My brother and I once made tea with the lake water. Very beautiful." The young man named Vincent looked at Zhu Pingan and replied softly. He became more and more interested in the poor country boy in the lobby who looked honest and honest on the surface. He was knowledgeable and well-informed, and it turned out that this young man was indeed extraordinary.
"Well, even if there are really 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, "What about that."
Huh?
Also!
The store clerk swallowed 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 on Jingquan Mountain are quiet, and the vines on the rock side are withered. Is this the second line okay?"
After finishing speaking, Zhu Ping An muttered to himself and continued, "Maybe The artistic conception is a bit unsatisfactory, and the upper and lower couplets don’t quite echo each other. What about this one? The mountains and springs are quiet on Jingquan Mountain, and the moon is bright on the bank of the moon.”
After saying that, Zhu Ping’an looked at it innocently. Shopkeeper, ask yourself whether the couplet is appropriate.
As for the store clerk, he was shocked to the point of being shocked. The corners of his mouth twitched and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't do anything except swallow his saliva. Zhu Ping'an came to him casually. The couplet was so shocking that I was stunned.
The couplets can actually match like this! (End of chapter)
