In the Ming Dynasty, Tang Bohu learned that the wife of poet friend Xu Zhenqing had given birth to a son, so he discussed congratulations with his friend Zhu Yunming. Talking about this, Tang Bohu sang the first part on this topic:
Having a baby in the middle of the night is difficult for Haizi to decide at two points.
In ancient times, without clocks, it was difficult to decide whether to have children in the middle of the night, either the time of the sea or the time of the children. Zhu Yunming took great pains and failed to get a punch line. That day, Zhu Yunming overheard Xu Zhenqing and his wife, a snake and a chicken, and a bottom line:
After a hundred years of matching, the two genera are equivalent.
The second couplet breaks down the word "Pei" into two zodiac signs, which is well-founded and amazing!
In the Southern Dynasties, Jiang Yan was born in a poor family and had extraordinary wit. Once, a group of literary friends wandered by the river and met a silkworm girl. At that time, a famous scholar improvised a couplet and said:
Silkworms are worms in the world.
Breaking "silkworm" into "sky" and "worm" was ingenious and tripped up many talented people for a while. Just as a flock of geese went down the river, Jiang Yan had a brainwave and said:
Hong is a riverside bird.
The division of "red" into "river" and "bird" was apt and ingenious, with far-reaching words and won applause immediately.
Legend has it that when Zhu Yuanzhang was wandering, he stayed at the home of a single woman named Jewelry. Jewelry and Zhu Yuanzhang talked until very late. Although she saw Zhu Yuanzhang at the end of the road, she had a good eye for heroes and praised them, so she went out to test them:
There are jewels hidden in the mountains. Do you mean Zhu Jiabao? Wang Jiabao?
Splitting the word "Zhu" into "Zhu" and "Wang" not only conforms to one's identity, but also reveals one's suicidal intention. Zhu Yuanzhang remembered the scene of having a baby next door in the past and immediately said to him:
Giving birth in the middle of the night, I care about his son! Sea lion!
There is also a domineering in wit.
