According to legend, this couplet was written by Ji Xiaolan, a great scholar in Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty. The original couplets did not have the word "Ming". Later, someone added the word "Ming" at the beginning of the sentence to make it more difficult, thus making it an absolute not to marry for 300 years.
As soon as the couplets were signed, friends on both sides of the Taiwan Strait became excited. Unfortunately, no one was found and only six "better" couplets were judged. Some of them, such as "the official enters the iron net, the official makes the fox fly" and "the ceremony of Demen is handed down, and Weichi Gong is honored", so the Macau Couplet Association had to raise the previous bonus of HK$ 6,000 to HK$ 30,000 and reward the couplets again. Later, someone said, "It's snowing in the sky and it's raining in Zhou Enlai, Yu Xiang."
Although it has entered the Internet age, couplets are also a kind of entertainment that netizens like. Nowadays, couplets are more diversified, such as stars, ancient figures and even foreign stars. These elements can bring great fun to couplets and make them more difficult.
Because the more things you want to know, the more answers you want. So many things have not been answered, it must be some knowledge. If your knowledge is not wide enough, you will not understand the couplet, and it is difficult to have a bottom line if you don't understand it.
However, the deficiency lies in the fact that Zhuge Liang's surname is Shan, while Zhou Enlai's surname is Shan, which ignores the ingenious combination of the word "Zhuge Liang" and its name, which is not only related to each other's word meaning, but also closely related to the specific thing "screen window".
The first half of this couplet says that the moon shines on the screen window, and the second half says that there are many holes in the screen window, and each hole shines brightly. But clever brother, I found that this has something to do with Zhuge Liang, who is also known as Kong Ming.
So this couplet is really difficult. Bian Xiao thought for a long time and couldn't figure it out, because there are too many things to compare here, such as the moon, and the names and characters. Moreover, the key is that Kong Ming and Zhuge Liang are the same person, and it is really difficult to find a celebrity with this artistic conception.
"The bright moon shines on the screen window, and everyone knows it" is an ancient theme: the scenery on a moonlit night. When the bright moon shines into the screen window, every window hole is illuminated, and many pavilions (Ge Xie Ge Sheng) are illuminated. What a silver world it is under the moonlight.
As far as artistic conception is concerned, this sentence of five words and seven languages can only be considered as "average", but as far as its language application skills are concerned, it can be described as "difficult".
The main difficulty lies in the seven words "all have wisdom". "All Kongming" is equal to "Zhuge (Pavilion) is bright", while "Zhuge Liang" is a person's name and "Kongming" is an ideographic character of "bright".
The relationship and order between them can be expressed as: word+compound surname+first name. In terms of meaning, "Gege" is equivalent to the first word "Zhu" of compound surname, and "Kong" is similar to the second word "Ge" of compound surname. In addition, there is a flat voice mode, its requirements are:
The moon shines on the screen window, and everyone is wise.
Very simple, very simple.
Flat and light, flat and light.
