Chapter 68: The Couplet Competition

Seeing Li Tianshuo leaving, Meng Jianguo and Liu Dechun glanced at each other, and from each other's eyes, they both saw each other's thoughts. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

If Meng Jianguo was not the chairman of the Kyoto Writers Association, and today was not the annual meeting of the Writers Association, he would have wanted to turn around and leave.

But there is no way, Meng Jianguo and Liu Dechun, if they leave, what will others say about them? So there is no way, they can only sit here and stay the course.

Meng Jianguo was angry in his heart, as the chairman of the Kyoto Writers Association, no matter where he went, when others spoke to him, it was polite, when had he ever eaten such a deflated? Being ridiculed in public like this?

The same is true for Liu Dechun.

But there is no way, Liu Qing's peach blossom poem is really amazing. Even a "professional poet" like Li Tianshuo has no way to find faults, and Meng Jianguo and Liu Dechun are even more helpless, after all, poetry is not their strong point.

“…… This peach blossom poem is so amazing that even people like me, who don't understand poetry, think it's amazing. ”

On the stage, the host Liu Tao saw that Li Tianshuo was angry, and he was experienced in hosting, so he quickly changed the topic and said with a smile: "Next, it is our highlight of today's couplet competition, I will explain the rules, someone will come out of the upper link, and the one who answers the next link correctly will get the prizes we have prepared......"

By the way, there are also couplets!

Meng Jianguo's eyes lit up, this couplet is not the same field as writing poetry. Heaven to earth, wind to rain, etc., strictly speaking, every word in the couplet, the battle is required to be neat and rigorous, and the conditions are very harsh.

Meng Jianguo's attainments in couplets are very profound - this is why every year at the Kyoto City Association, there will be a couplet competition, which is a competition specially thought up by the staff below in order to cater to Meng Jianguo's hobby.

This pair is quite similar to playing chess. You have to have an opponent, and people who play chess, whenever they have developed a chess move, always can't wait to find someone to try. And Meng Jianguo is the same, whenever he thinks of a wonderful upper link, he is always itchy and wants to find someone else to fight the next link.

The staff of the Kyoto City Association all knew that Meng Jianguo had this hobby, so they deliberately had a couplet contest in the annual meeting, just to please Meng Jianguo, and in order to worry that no one would participate, they also prepared many prizes for this.

As the saying goes, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and with the prize, naturally someone will participate.

"If there is a couplet, please come to the stage now, write down the upper couplet of your couplet, and the couplet will write the lower couplet you have thought of on paper, and then our judges today, Meng Jianguo and Liu Dechun, chairman of the Kyoto Writers Association, will jointly comment on the ......"

After the host Liu Tao announced the rules, some people came to the stage one after another, and wrote the Shanglian that they had already thought about in their hearts on a blank piece of paper.

Only then did Liu Qing understand what the blank paper he saw before was for.

"Liu Qing, will you be right about the couplet?"

Wang Xiaobo, who was on the side, said to Liu Qing with great interest: "Since you can write poems, then couplets should not be a difficult thing for you, right?" ”

"I don't know how to do it." Liu Qing smiled and shook his head, "I haven't studied this. He is telling the truth, although in another world, every year during the Chinese New Year, every year every year every household has to stick couplets, but the vast majority of people's couplets are similar to reunion and happiness, more than every year.

In the Spring Festival Gala, there are couplets every year, but there are very few people who can match them, and this thing requires a deep literary foundation, and it is really not something that ordinary people can easily match.

Moreover, Liu Qing didn't know whether the rules of the couplets in this world were the same as those in his previous world.

"You really don't know how to couplet?" Wang Xiaobo sighed and said, "That's a pity...... I have some experience with the couplet, before I came today, I also deliberately did some homework, a little simpler couplet, I should have no problem, but when I encounter those difficult couplets, I guess I can't get up. ”

"It's okay to match the simple ones." Liu Qing said casually: "Didn't you say that as long as you can come up, there will be a prize?" ”

"How can that be the same?" Wang Xiaobo shook his head and said: "This prize is also determined according to the degree of difficulty, the simpler the couplet, the prize is usually some uninformed gadgets, only those difficult couplets, there are good prizes!" ”

"Oh, really?" Liu Qing suddenly became interested and said with a smile: "What are the good prizes?" ”

"Last year's most difficult couplet, was issued by Chairman Meng, and no one was able to match it at that time, and it is said that the prize was the latest Mango mobile phone."

Wang Xiaobo said with a regretful face: "It's worth more than 4,000 yuan...... But also, if it were right, the prize would not be so valuable. ”

The Mango mobile phone in this world is equivalent to the Apple mobile phone in Liu Qing's world, which is very well-known, and of course, the price is not low.

"The first couplet has already been written, I'll read it to you......"

The host Mu Bing said with a smile: "Blossom sesame backgammon, well, this should be a post-break couplet." ”

The linker smiled and nodded in acknowledgement.

"It's easy, I'll do it."

Someone stood up and said loudly: "The unearthed sugar cane is sweet!" ”

"Okay." The host Mu Bing smiled: "This sentence is right. ”

The linker also smiled and nodded, this was originally a relatively simple after-break couplet, just to join in the fun. The person who answered the next link came to the stage to receive the prize - a water cup, worth dozens of yuan. It's not much, but the winners are still happy.

Wang Xiaobo said with annoyance: "This is simple, but I haven't figured it out yet, so others have taken the lead." ”

Liu Qing nodded and smiled. I secretly thought in my heart, it turned out that the couplets of the two worlds were no different. It's all the same.

Next, Mu Bing and Liu Tao took turns to alternate and read out the couplets one by one.

The contest is the highlight of the annual meeting of the Kyoto Writers Association, almost all of the couplets are from the members of the Writers' Association, at first a few couplets, it is a little simpler, and most of the prizes are small gifts, worth dozens of dollars, in order to provoke the atmosphere of the scene and the interest of the participants.

Next, the prizes jumped from a few dozen yuan at the beginning to shopping coupons worth hundreds of yuan, followed by all kinds of tricky and strange uplinking, the purpose is not to let everyone guess easily.

"The upper link of this couplet is a digital couplet, the upper link is, a lonely boat, sitting on two or three sorcerers, using four oars and five sails, passing through six beaches and seven bays, after eight ups and downs, it is a pity that it is very late!"

Mu Bing said with an exclamatory tone after reading it: "Yes, this is very interesting, and it is a little difficult to get right." ”

Liu Dechun in the audience showed a smile on his face, and this pair of uplinks was made by him.

The so-called digital couplet, that is, it contains numbers, want to make the lower couplet, it takes some effort, because the couplet pays attention to the upper and lower couplets neatly, and the meaning contained in them should also echo with the upper couplet, so that it can be regarded as a complete couplet.
