Chapter 180: The couplet is opposed
Lotus Ye's mind was not on these inscriptions, and he pulled Cui Wenqing to the highest fourth floor to view the view.
Listen to the rain building on three sides of the wall on three floors, one side is the viewing railing, named "Guanyun Pavilion" this rather elegant name.
At this time, there are many visitors standing in front of the railing to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and in the easternmost part of the railing, there is an old man who is painting in front of the long case, and there are already many people around the old man who are amazed and amazed.
Cui Wenqing didn't care, he was already attracted by the beautiful scenery outside the pavilion.
It can be seen that in the rain curtain, the left and right peaks are like beautiful fairies dressed in a thin gauze skirt, becoming hazy and ethereal, and bursts of water mist rise from the mountains, converging into one after another disconnected clouds and mist, making the entire surrounding mountain look like a Tianshan Mountain in the clouds.
Sure enough, it's Guanyun Pavilion, and it really deserves its name! Cui Wenqing sighed secretly, but he was used to flying planes before, so it was not strange for him to be in the clouds looking down on the earth like this, but the lotus leaves and many pilgrims who had never seen such a scenery were amazed, obviously immersed in this beautiful scenery.
Seeing this, Cui Wenqing secretly smiled, withdrew his gaze to look around, and when his eyes inadvertently swept over the picture scroll made by the old man, he couldn't help but show a look of interest, and immediately paced forward to investigate.
The painting was an old man of about seventy, with white hair, white beard and white eyebrows, dressed in an earthy yellow linen robe, tall and thin, with a furrow on his face, and his bright and deep eyes were seriously falling on the picture scroll in front of him, revealing a kind of strange charm.
Although there were many people around to watch the old man paint, and the sound of humming and commotion was constant, the old man in cloth was not affected at all, and his hand was still flying like a vertical brush, without the slightest pause.
The old man's painting scene is the beautiful scenery of the clouds and mist outside the window, his painting skills are obviously very superb, even the ink painting, but also reveals a kind of elegant chic that does not fit the crowd, the root lines are handled very perfectly, even those strange peaks and strange stones, are also painted as lifelike in the painting.
I saw that many people were surrounding the old man to watch him paint, and many pilgrims who came up behind him also surrounded him, and even the lotus leaves were crowded to Cui Wenqing's side, looking at the old man who painted and showing a shocked and admired face.
After the pillar incense time, the old man finally put down the brush in his hand, he carefully looked at the painting scroll in front of him, and after bowing his head slightly, he showed a little dissatisfaction, as if something was wrong.
At this moment, a middle-aged man who looked like a scribe was very close to the old man, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but smile and asked, "Dare to ask the old man, is there any flaw in this painting?" ”
The old man stood up and turned around, brushed his beard and said with a smile: "This is the old man's feeling and painting, but it is not bad, but the picture scroll only has the scenery but it is quite monotonous. ”
The middle-aged scribe hurriedly smiled and asked, "Then I wonder if the old man has thought of a suitable poem?" ”
The old man in cloth shook his head and said: "I felt it by chance just now, and I thought of a good uplink, but unfortunately, there is no way to deal with the downlink." ”
There were many scholars in Daqi, and when they heard the words of the old man in cloth, there was immediately another young Confucian who said angrily: "Old man, since there is a couplet, it is better to inscribe it on the picture scroll, let me think about it, I don't know what you think?" ”
The old man in cloth thought about it, nodded happily and said: "The words of the future are not bad, then good, the old man will write the upper couplet." Without hesitation, he picked up the brush and wrote a few small words.
Cui Wenqing and the others stared at it, and it could be seen that the couplet written by the old man in cloth clothes was: Listen to the rain and live in the rain building, listen to the sound of the rain in the building, listen to the sound of the rain, listen to it.
At first glance, Cui Wenqing suddenly felt a little dizzy, because there was no punctuation mark for the separation of words in later generations in ancient times, and the seemingly inexplicable couplet of the old man in cloth was written in a bunch, which naturally made Cui Wenqing very unaccustomed.
At this time, the old man stood with a pen and explained with a smile: "This couplet is only old and decayed while painting, listening to the sound of rain outside the building, if someone can make the next couplet, the old man will give this painting away, and will never break his word." ”
The words immediately attracted bursts of applause, and it was obvious that the words of the old man in cloth had aroused the interest of the pilgrims.
At that time, the literary world was still dominated by poetry, and the couplets were not able to ascend to the hall of elegance.
However, because it is quite fun to make couplets, it is also quite popular among literati and scholars, and it is even more popular among ordinary scholars.
Nowadays, when the old man in cloth paints like this, he accidentally gets a couplet, and he knows that the old man must be good at couplets and quite a literary person.
In addition, his outstanding bearing is increased by painting, but it can also be seen that the old man's uninhibited morale.
The middle-aged scribe nodded, looking at the couplet for a while, but he couldn't help frowning, and asked: "Dare to ask the old man, I don't know how to break the sentence of 'listen to the rain and live in the rain building, listen to the sound of the rain'?" ”
The old man in cloth laughed and said: "This sentence is an occasional sentence, is it broken, please figure it out for yourself, and make a suitable next link." ”
Seeing that the old man in cloth was reluctant to say more, everyone was at a loss, especially Cui Wenqing, who wanted to scold his mother.
In his opinion, sentence breaking is a very important thing, and it is often an inadvertent pause or omission in speech that will show different meanings in the sentence.
For example: next Sunday ~ are you free and next Sunday ~ are you free are two different things.
A good college life and a good college life are two different things.
The arrival of a large wave of girls and the arrival of a large wave of girls are also two different things.
Therefore, sentence breaks are too important.
The middle-aged guard groaned to himself, and suddenly spoke: "Uncle, I think this Shanglian can make such a sentence. ”
The old man in cloth raised his hand and said, "Your Excellency, it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
The middle-aged guard said in a straight voice: "This sentence can be: listen to the rain and live, listen to the rain by the building, listen to the rain, listen to the sound, listen to it." ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone immediately felt that after such a sentence, the meaning and tone of the couplet written by the old man were smooth, and they couldn't help but cheer at the middle-aged scribe.
The old man in cloth smiled, but didn't say anything more.
The middle-aged guard arched his fists around him, and then continued unhurriedly: "As for the next couplet, I also thought of a couplet in the next one, which is for: watch the snow and snow stop, lie down and watch the snow pavilion, lie down and watch the snow, one after another, look at it." ”
Hearing this, the surrounding people secretly savored and thought.
It is not bad to use "snow" to "rain", but this link seems a little ordinary, a little less agile and elegant, and a little more rigid and rigid.
