Chao Gai smiled slightly and said: "In Xiachao Liang is a merchant on the ground, today the saint is happy with the people, admired here, saw the excitement here, and also wanted to give it a try."

"That's good, Chao Daguan, the small ones don't waste time, and this will begin." The little guy made a gesture of please towards Chao Gai.

Chao Gai walked to the long table in the ring, on which were placed three couplets in turn, all of which were upper couplets, and next to each pair of upper couplets was a blank piece of paper used to write the lower couplets.

Chao Gai looked at the three pairs of upper couplets, and the first one said Feng Luo Wu Wu Luo Feng; The second is the flowers, flowers and leaves, green and red, but Si Xiangwei is deliberately supportive, not teaching rain and wind, clear and cold; This third couplet is written Canghai Day, Chicheng Xia, Emei Snow, Wuxia Cloud, Dongting Moon, Peng Liyan, Xiaoxiang Rain, Wuyi Peak, Lushan Waterfall, the wonders of the universe, painting Wu Zhai Wall.

After reading it, Chao Gai smiled slightly, confident, and lifted the brush to brush the three couplets without pause.

The little guy kept watching from the side, and when Chao Gai finished writing, the little guy lifted the first couplet and said to the audience below: "This Chao Daguan is really talented, and he will pair these three couplets in less than a moment, and Xiao Gao Pan will know the couplet of this Chao Da official and all the officials."

"This first couplet, the upper couplet is the phoenix falling Wutong Wuluo, the small one is not talented, and I also know that this is a palindrome couplet, and then look at the pearls and beads of the big officials."

The little guy read out this couplet, and immediately won the applause of the whole house, especially Zhang San and Li Si, who didn't know a single big character, although they couldn't understand what the couplet was written, but what his brother wrote was naturally the best, shouting loudly, and the big hand clapped loudly.

When everyone almost calmed down, the little guy picked up the second couplet and began to read: "The upper couplet of this second couplet is the flowers, flowers and leaves, emerald red and red, but Si Xiangwei is deliberately supporting, not teaching rain and rain, wind and wind, clear and cold, this is a superimposed couplet, Chao Daguan gives the right butterfly and butterfly, life and life, I hope that all lovers will become dependents, and they will be happy and happy for a long time."

"Yes, yes."

"Mr. Chao is talented."

After the little guy finished reading, there was a burst of applause, this second course is obviously much more difficult than the first one, and Chao Gai can still be so neat, which naturally makes the audience under the stage admire.

"Okay, this third couplet is the most difficult of the three, the little one will read the upper couplet first, and see if anyone can match it. Shanglian is Canghai Day, Chicheng Xia, Emei Snow, Wuxia Cloud, Dongting Moon, Peng Liyan, Xiaoxiang Rain, Wuyi Peak, Lushan Waterfall, the wonders of the universe, painting Wu Zhaibi. The little guy read out the upper link.

As soon as the little guy said this, the audience fell silent, and the literati and writers all lowered their heads and pondered carefully. Laid out in an orderly manner, divided into chapters: the upper link points out the nine scenic spots of Canghai Ri, Chicheng Xia, Emei Xue, Wuxia Cloud, Dongting Yue, Peng Liyan, Xiaoxiang Rain, Guangling Tao, the sun and the moon and clouds, the mountains and rivers, the rain and smoke, and the wonders of the universe, everything seems simple, but there are requirements for the battle, and it is difficult for everyone to be affected by these nine grand scenes.

Seeing that everyone couldn't come out, the little guy just smiled, and immediately said, "How is it?" You officials can't come out, right, the little one will read the next link of the big officials. The little guy was as proud as if he had come out of this couplet.

"Everyone, the next couplet of Chao Daguan is Shaoling poems, Maha paintings, Zuo Chuanwen, Ma Qian History, Xue Tao notes, right military posts, Nanhua Sutra, Xiangru Fu, Qu Zi Lisao, collect ancient and modern masterpieces, and put my mountain window." The little guy immediately read out Chao Gai's pair.

The audience was shocked, there was no other, the right one was too neat, the coupling sentence pattern was chic, and the momentum was open. Laid out in an orderly manner, divided into chapters: the upper link points out nine scenic spots, the sun, the moon and clouds, the mountains, rivers, rain and smoke, and the wonders of the universe, everything. The next couplet pen involves the essence of ancient and modern literature and art, poetry and calligraphy and painting, through the history of the post, throughout the ancient and modern arts, colorful, sentence pattern in one go, jade embellished beads, integrated into one, honest for the good structure.

"Canghai Day, Chicheng Xia, Emei Xue, Wuxia Cloud, Dongting Yue, Peng Liyan, Xiaoxiangyu, Guangling Tao", and the "Shaoling Poems, Maha Paintings, Zuo Chuanwen, Ma Qian History, Xue Tao Notes, Right Military Posts, Nanhua Sutra, and Xiangru Fu" constitute the "large-scale" self-contrast between the landscape series and the humanities series, and the "universe" is relative to the "ancient and modern" words of the same kind. Although this couplet is long, due to the author's skillful use of self-contrasting techniques, the whole couplet is still very neat.

The rhythm points of the upper and lower couplets are obvious, and the rhythm of the battle between the landscape and the humanities in front of them is "Ping Ping; Ping, Ping. The back reads "合/universe/wonders, Ego / Saibi; Collect / ancient and modern / mastery, put me / mountain window", the rhythm on the rhythm point is "(仄) 仄平; (Ping) Ping. Although this couplet is blindly laid out, due to the strict rhythm, the top and bottom are opposite, and the left and right are alternate, and it is read in one go, tactful and melodious, without any sense of procrastination.

After the scene was calm for two seconds, it was a burst of applause from the mountains and tsunamis, this is not perfunctory but really sincere admiration, although the Song Dynasty is not strong, but the cultural atmosphere is particularly good, whether it is a dignitary, a scholar or a common person, all admire the cultured people, Chao Gai's three pairs of pairs are tightly fitted, reasonable, and naturally it is a piece of applause.

Chao Gai politely clasped his fists below, and then asked, "This little brother, can you go in below?"

The little guy heard Chao Gai's question, and immediately nodded vigorously and said: "If you can, you can do it, and the officials are naturally able to get in."

Chao Gai thanked him, and then walked into the building with Zhang San and Li Si, and when he entered the gate, he saw a piece of magnificence, singing and dancing on the platform in the center, and the surrounding was the place where literati and artists drank.

Chao Gai and the three of them found a place to sit down, and someone on the stage introduced the second level, the second level is also related to composing poetry, setting a prescribed situation, and then composing poems, the top five can enter the third level, and there are five scholars of the current dynasty as judges in the attic.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the rules of this second level have been introduced, that is, to compose poems, and the poems made must also be in line with the theme, not much to say, the theme of this time is this Chinese New Year's Eve, according to the time, a quarter of an hour is limited, if the time passes, it will not count if it is finished." After the guy in the building introduced the rules of the second level, he said the theme of the poem.

After listening to the theme, the literati and writers began to write poems, some frowned and lowered their heads to think, some felt bad after brushing and brushing and rewrote, and some had no ideas at all, holding the pen and not knowing how to put it down.

Chao Gai smiled slightly, confident, he had crossed over, there were so many poems in his head, if he couldn't write them, it would be too embarrassing to cross the face.

At that moment, Chao Gai lifted the pen, his thoughts flowed, and Shuai Shuai wrote a poem on the paper, all in one go, and then signaled that he had finished writing.

Chao Gai wrote the great poet Ye Yu of the Ming Dynasty "Ji You Xinzheng", the wind and frost of heaven and earth, and the weather of Qiankun. New years are added, and spring is full of old mountains and rivers. The plum willow is fragrant, and the pine fence is old. Tu Sucheng was drunk and laughed at Baiyunwo.
