The lower couplet and the upper couplet cooperate with each other in terms of words, structure and rhythm, and maintain a harmonious confrontation. In the first part, a piece of spring sorrow and willow green depicts the scene of spring, and in the second part, a half-curtain dream of apricot blossom red depicts night, spring sorrow and dreams.
Willow and apricot flowers, green and red are in sharp contrast, which makes the overall artistic conception richer and more profound. At the same time, a half-curtain, a dream of spring sorrow and willow green apricot red all form a clever correspondence and echo, making the couplets more artistic and aesthetic.
The method of couplets:
1, the number of words is equal: the number of words in the upper and lower couplets must be equal, which is the basic requirement of couplets. For example, the upper part is five words, and the lower part must also be five words.
2. Structural antithesis: the structure of the upper and lower couplets should echo each other, that is, the corresponding words have the same part of speech and the same grammatical structure. For example, noun to noun, verb to verb, etc.
3. Rhythm harmony: couplets require the tone coordination of the upper and lower couplets, and generally follow the principle of leveling. In modern Chinese, it can be understood as changing the tone of the upper and lower couplet to avoid repetition.
4. Relevance of meaning: the upper and lower couplets of couplets should be related in artistic conception, and * * * all express a complete theme or artistic conception. This requires the author of couplets to have high cultural literacy and aesthetic level.
5. Avoid repeating words: In couplets, try to avoid repeating the same words to reflect the author's intelligence.
6. Refinement and implication: The text of couplets should be refined to avoid verbosity and verbosity. At the same time, the artistic conception of couplets should be implicit, leaving more imagination space for readers, so as to achieve the effect of wanting more.
7. Creativity: In the creation of couplets, we should dare to innovate and not stick to traditional forms. We can make couplets more vivid and interesting by using rhetorical devices such as metaphor and personification, or by using inverted sentences and homophones.
8. Reflect the cultural connotation: Couplets are part of the traditional culture of China, so the creation of couplets should reflect the cultural connotation of China. By quoting allusions and depicting natural scenery, we can combine couplets with traditional culture and make them more cultural.
9. Meet the occasion: the creation of couplets should meet the occasion and situation. For example, when celebrating festivals, you can create couplets related to festivals; At the wedding, you can create couplets with auspicious and happy meanings.
10, keep practicing: to improve the level of couplet creation requires constant practice. You can improve your ability to create couplets by reading classic couplets and participating in couplets competitions.
