Rise From the Humble

quiet spring mountain spring quiet spring

This couplet looks very simple at first glance, and it is easy to figure it out. But if you look closely, you will find the mystery. It is a palindrome 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.

This 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 smoothness and readability, but also requires consistency and artistic conception.

Zhu Ping'an raised his head and read the couplet, and curled his lips slightly. He once enjoyed the convenience of the Internet, and he 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.

"Hey, you should start with the first couplet. If you don't come out, take your horse away." The shop assistant who had finished registering at the counter walked to Zhu Pingan's side at the first time, pointing to 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 mountain spring is quiet on the quiet spring mountain."

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 have picked up on people’s wisdom and heard it from hearsay. But after seeing Zhu Ping'an read the couplet softly, but he was still a little surprised.

"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 really think too much. I don't know what couplets others 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 Pingan with a strange look and snorted.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Zhu Pingan asked calmly.

"I have a couplet here, let me tell you, you can't repeat it." The store clerk said, took out a delicate thin book, opened the first page and started reading. In fact, there are words on the first page, and There are only two or three lower lines.

This time, the store clerk learned the lesson just now and left no chance for Zhu Ping'an to get lucky.

"The water in Qingshui Pond is clear. This has been corrected. 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 crisp red. You can't use it anymore. Hmm. , you start right."

After reading it, the store clerk began to urge Zhu Pingan to recite 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 changed the word "tang" to 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 Ping'an nodded as if he suddenly understood, and then continued, "What about this, 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 turned even darker, and he was so excited that he almost spit saliva in Zhu Pingan's face! 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 are calling this a couplet meeting. Leave immediately to save yourself the embarrassment!

"Oh, it doesn't matter if I change two words." Zhu Pingan nodded again with sudden realization, and then continued lightly, "What about this, the springs on Jingquan Mountain are quiet, and the mountains on Xiangshi Mountain are ringing."

Well

Just now I said it’s not okay to repeat it, so just change it to another word!

I said that changing one word is not enough, you can change two words!

Let me say that changing two words is not enough, you can change three words!

"Just now you mentioned Xiangshui Lake, and now you're talking about Xiangshi Mountain. You're just making it up. There's no lake or mountain with such a name!" The shop clerk's face was almost turned into ashes, and his nostrils were full of ash. Thick smoke was almost spitting out, and he was about to be blown away.

"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 flowing water can be heard outside, hence the name 'Xiangshui Lake'."

"There is a mountain in Hengxi Town, Xianju County, Taizhou, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It has steep cliffs, suspended stone beams, criss-cross ravines, gurgling streams, lush vegetation, birds singing and the fragrance of flowers. In the mountain, there is a hollow gravel-shaped ore that looks like a bell. It makes a sound when it shakes, so it is named Xiangxi Town. Stone Mountain.”

Zhu Pingan looked at the black face of the store clerk, smiled slightly, and told the geographical location and origin of Xiangshui Lake and Xiangshi Mountain in a calm but clear voice.

"Hey, Wen Sheng, do you think what he said is true?" The well-dressed boy pushed the boy named Wen Sheng beside him with his hand and asked casually.

"I don't know 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 used to make tea with the water from the lake. It tasted very good." Vincent's young man looked at Zhu Ping'an 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 Pingan said in almost the same tone as the previous times, and then said lightly, "That's it."

ah?

besides!

The shop clerk swallowed and looked at Zhu Pingan nervously.

Ignoring the nervousness of the shop assistant, Zhu Ping'an slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and continued calmly, "The spring on Jingquan Mountain is quiet, and the rocks and vines are withered beside the dry vines and rocks. Is this the next couplet okay?"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Pingan went on talking to himself, "Perhaps the artistic conception is a little unsatisfactory, and the upper and lower couplets don't quite echo each other. What about this one? Jingquan Mountain is quiet on the mountain, and the moon is bright beside the shore. What do you think?"

After saying that, Zhu Pingan looked at the store clerk innocently and asked whether the couplet he had paired was appropriate.

As for the store clerk, who was shocked by the shock at this time, the corner of his mouth twitched and wanted to say something, but he couldn't do anything except swallow his saliva. The whole person was stunned by Zhu Pingan's random couplet. .

The couplets can actually be matched like this!
