Jay Chou didn't know what was happening in the Tang Palace, and he was going all out to prepare for the upcoming lantern guessing fans.

Lantern riddles are also known as Wenhu and Lantern Tiger. August 15 is the traditional mid-year festival, commonly known as the Festival of Lights.

For thousands of years, on the night of the Middle Yuan Dynasty, every household put up lanterns, men, women and children went to the street to enjoy the lanterns, which is the origin of the lantern festival.

Thousands of years ago, some people wrote riddles as notes at the lantern festival and posted them on the lanterns for people to guess and watch, and gave prizes to those who guessed, which is the origin of lantern riddles. The twenty-second episode of "Dream of Red Mansions" by Zhou Jielun in the Shenfeng Continent "Lantern Riddle Making Jia Zheng's Sad Words" and the fiftieth chapter of "Warm Spring Dock Ya Spring Lantern Riddle" have this description.

A riddle is a kind of word puzzle, which is generally used for writing and guessing.

It mainly focuses on the meaning of words or the structural aspects of words and phrases, glyphs.

The words and sentences of the riddle are concise and concise, and they are highly generalized.

The mystery covers a wide range of topics, including country names, place names, personal names, object names, words, vocabulary, common names, idioms, poems, etc.

In addition to "riddles" and "riddles", lantern riddles and riddles also have "riddles", that is, indicating the range of guessing, and often "typing a word" or "hitting an object"

In addition, there is a special method for specifying various artificial puzzles in lantern riddles, which is called "riddle grids".

The common ones are "swing grid", "roller shutter grid", "Xu Fei grid", "Qiu Huang grid", "white head grid", "pear flower grid" and so on.

The swing grid is similar to the roller lattice, and the puzzle must be read upside down.

The difference is that there are only two words in the swing grid puzzle, and reading backwards is like playing a swing.

The riddle of the rolling curtain grid requires three words or more, and reading backwards is just like the inverted scroll of the bead curtain.

In the former, if "today" is the name of a country, it is read as "today" and read backwards as "Japan";

The latter, such as "island", is named in the name of the sea, and is pronounced "in the middle of the sea" as "the Mediterranean". More than two words of Xu Feige's riddle must be the same radical, and the same radical is removed to interlock with the meaning of the riddle.

For example, "note", hit an animal, the riddle is "crab" to remove the insect word, and the side solution is in the note.

"Seeking the phoenix" is the meaning of the phoenix, similar to the couplet, requiring the riddle and the riddle to fight neatly, but before or after the riddle add an additional "double, match, pair, alignment, ratio, combination, horse" and other words that indicate duality.

Such as "authentic", playing a movie title, the mystery is "Tianxian Pei".

The first word of the puzzle of "Baitouge" should be read in white, and he deliberately did Mr. Baizi.

For example, "waste" plays the name of a person in "Water Margin", the riddle is used by Wu, and the "pear flower grid" is also called the homonym grid, which is the homophone of the riddle and the meaning of the riddle.

The use of myths is also very widespread.

A moment of joy and a moment of sorrow, remembering a thousand things wrong.

If you want to get a thousand things, you can relieve your worries and relieve your sorrows.

The poem is a riddle, and the answer to it is "guessing the riddle".

According to legend, there was such an activity as guessing thousands of years ago.

So, why has the riddle become a lantern riddle again? There's a story here!

It is rumored that in the early days, there was a rich man surnamed Hu, who had a lot of money, rampant in the township, watching people act, smiling but not smiling, and people called him "Smiling Tiger".

When the smiling tiger sees someone better dressed than himself, he is like a mouse hunting his beard - stammering; To the poor, who were poor, in rags, he was like a hungry dog gnawing at a bone – eager to chew out the oil.

The Spring Festival was approaching that year, and there were two people in front of the Hu family, the one in front was called Li Cai, and the one in the back was called Wang Shao.

Li Cai's clothes and hats are neat and gorgeous, and Wang Shao is dressed in tatters.

As soon as the family saw Li Cai, he hurriedly returned to the room to report, and the smiling tiger hurriedly greeted the door, and when he saw the visitor's gorgeous clothes and hats, he smiled respectfully and respectfully.

Li Cai said that he wanted to "borrow ten taels of silver", and the smiling tiger hurriedly took the silver taels.

Li Cai took the silver two and walked away.

Before the smiling tiger came to his senses, Wang Shao hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, "Master, I'll borrow some food." The smiling tiger glanced at him, and when he saw that it was Wang Shao, who was dressed in tatters, he scolded violently: "You kid, get out of here!"

Before Wang Shao could argue, he was kicked out of the door by his family.

On the way home, the more Wang Shao thought about it, the more angry he became, and suddenly he had a plan and decided to fight this smiling tiger.

In the blink of an eye, Zhongyuan is approaching, and every household is busy making lanterns, and Wang Shao is also busy for a day.

On the night of the Zhongyuan Lantern Festival, all kinds of lanterns are hung in front of the street houses of every house. Wang Shao also put out a lantern and went to the street.

I saw that this lantern was big and bright, and what was even more special was that there was a poem inscribed on it.

Wang Shao came to the smiling tiger gate and raised the lantern high, attracting many people to watch.

The smiling tiger was watching the lantern in front of the door, when he saw this scene, he was busy squeezing to the lantern, and saw that there were four lines of poetry inscribed on the lamp, he couldn't recognize it all, and he couldn't read it, so he ordered the tent man behind him to read it to him.

The bookkeeper shook his head and said:

The tip of the head and the body are as white as silver, and there is not half a cent on the scales.

His eyes reach his buttocks, and he recognizes clothes but not people.

When the smiling tiger heard this, he was so angry that his face was red, his eyes were wide with anger, and he shouted: "Good boy, dare to come and scold the master!"

shouted, and ordered the family to grab the lanterns.

Wang Shao hurriedly picked up the lantern and said with a smile: "Master, why do you see that you are scolding?"

The smiling tiger said angrily, "What is written on your lamp?"

Wang Shao read it aloud again.

The smiling tiger said hatefully: "Isn't this scolding me and scolding anyone?"

Wang Shao still smiled and said, "Oh, the master is suspicious. These four lines of my poem are a mystery. The answer to the puzzle is the 'needle', don't you think about it?"

The smiling tiger thought for a moment: It's not a mile! He just glared angrily, didn't say anything, turned around and slipped up in embarrassment.

When the people around saw it, they only laughed happily.

This matter later spread farther and farther, the second year of the Lantern Festival, many people will write riddles on the lanterns, for the lantern viewers to guess and have fun, so it is called "lantern riddles".

Later, it became a habit to follow each other, and every time the Zhongyuan Lantern Festival, lantern riddles were held in various places, which have been passed down to the present.

Zhou Jielun flipped through a large number of historical documents and learned about the history of the lantern fans of the Shenfeng Continent.

Compared to the earth, the Shenfeng Continent is still much worse.

The culture of the earth is brilliant.

With the history and culture of the earth to learn from, and the systematic cheating, Jay Chou is full of confidence in tonight's game.

The dinner was held in the City Lord's Mansion, and ten tables were set up.

There are a lot of literati and writers here, all of whom are members of Li Ming's team.

Before Jay Chou came, Li Ming gathered them for a month.

Due to Jay Chou's request, Li Ming did not disclose Jay Chou's identity.

So when they saw a stunned young man who didn't have a long beard also went into battle to participate in the battle, everyone was disdainful, this must be a relative of the city lord's family.

Jay Chou is not interested in talking to these, he just drinks.

Hearing a few so-called celebrity poetry fans on the wine table, Jay Chou hated to find something to plug his ears so as not to be polluted.

All the filth and mess came out.

"The yellow dog is swollen, the white dog is swollen, and the rivers and mountains are all together. ”

You said that it was good for you to be humble, but people just found Jay Chou.

"Hey! hairless little. "Someone is shouting.

Zhou Jie looked around, why did a little rooster come to the banquet.

Suddenly, Jay Chou's shoulder was patted: "What are you looking for? Looking for a little rooster? Haha! The hairless little rooster is you." ”

Zhou Jielun was angry and slapped the man's hand away: "What are you looking for me?"

The man said triumphantly, "How about my yellow dog and white dog?"

"Not very good. Dog meat or black dog meat is delicious. Jay Chou said seriously.

"Hahahaha!" Laughter flew from the banquet.

The man stared at Jay Chou: "The little rooster wants to fly without growing hair, and you still look down on my masterpiece? ”

Everyone coaxed together: "Yes, rooster war dog, come to a song." ”

What kind of words are these? Jay Chou's head is also big.

However, Jay Chou still said very politely: "I'm not as good as my predecessors, so I won't be ugly." ”

The man grabbed Zhou Jielun: "No, you look down on me first, if you don't make a few crooked poems, you will drink six glasses of wine to apologize." ”

Zhou Jie was on fire, and he originally saved him some face, but he was unreasonable and unforgiving.

Zhou Jie rolled his eyes and immediately had an idea: "What if I answer better than you?"

The man scoffed, "You're better than my poems, and if you're better than mine, then I'll drink six bowls of wine." ”

Zhou Jielun clenched his fists: "Everyone has heard it, please testify." ”

"Okay! I'll judge you. Li Ming stood up.

"Then everyone listens!" Jay Chou said with a smile:

Once upon a time there was a pig

Love to read

Reading and not being literate

The more I look at it, the more confused I become

Once upon a time there was a dog

Love to drink

After drinking, he went crazy

Someone bit his hand

Once upon a time there was a sheep

Love to jump over the wall

Finally jumped over

Outside the walls is a wolf
