There is a couplet on the crematorium door: how about the first couplet lamenting life and the second couplet?
As we all know, China has a long history and culture. Although many cultures have been lost in this long process of cultural development, many cultures have been fortunately preserved. For example, the poems of Tang poetry and Song poetry that everyone recited every day when they were children are all important parts of Chinese culture, and the fruits of these cultures belong exclusively to our country. I'm afraid people from other countries have no chance to be included in these poems.

Couplet culture has a long history.

Poetry is a way for ancient literati to express their feelings, such as seeing off friends, missing relatives and singing praises to various things. Poetry is an important carrier to express emotions. Even if people now read some ancient poems, they will easily feel the inner feelings when they wrote this poem. In fact, apart from these ancient poems, there is another cultural form, which is also an important form of expression. This form must be familiar to everyone, that is, couplets.

Speaking of couplets, there will be such scenes in some TV dramas or movies with ancient themes. For example, in the movie "Tong Pak Hu Dian Qiu Xiang", there are many scenes of couplets, which shows that couplets were also an important way to express feelings in ancient times. Although people are not always idle now, just like the ancients, almost every family will post a couplet at the door during the New Year.

People admire this kind of culture, because just two sentences and a horizontal comment can easily express what the author wants to express. I have to say that the Chinese nation is really a smart nation and can create such a splendid culture. In addition, we also put some couplets on the doors of some temples for worship. It can be said that couplets can be posted anywhere, just expressing different meanings.

Couplets on the stage of Dayu Temple

For example, Dayu, the hero of our Chinese nation, went home three times to help people control water, and finally got people's respect. After his death, people built a temple dedicated to him, which lasted for thousands of years. In the course of so many years, people often praise his achievements. For example, one day, two scholars were on their way to pay homage to Dayu, talking about his merits, and both of them shined brilliantly.

In this way, the two men soon came to Dayu's temple. When they arrived, they found a strange phenomenon, that is, couplets were posted in the temple and other places, but there were no couplets on the stage in the temple. So in order to compare the level, they decided to bring a couplet for this stage, and then asked a senior to judge the level. After discussing it, they began to devote themselves to life and show their talents to each other.

As easy as blowing off dust, the first reader quickly made the first part of this book, called "Play your heart from left to right, scream the moon from left, sing the wind from right, and reach the left and right". The first book perfectly combines the stage and scenery. He is very satisfied with his first book, but the second scholar didn't panic after hearing the first book, thinking that such a first book also wants to beat himself? So I thought for a few seconds and came up with the perfect couplet of "the rhyme of things, the spring in Dongyang, the snow in the west and the rhyme of things full". This kind of couplet also embarrassed the seniors who were judges. After all, both of them are neat and have a high level. How to choose this?

When the elders are thinking about who is better, the two scholars are very nervous, afraid that the other party will surpass themselves, and they are waiting for the evaluation results of the elders. The elder thought for a moment and read out a poem, which was called "Doubles are born in love, double playing Guan Feng, and double fighting is self-contained". When two learned scholars heard this sentence, they immediately understood the meaning, which meant to judge them both. Many people think that this senior is not good enough to judge who is better. In my opinion, this is the cleverness of this senior.

In fact, this practice of the predecessors is also very good, and the final result is also very good, because others are as high as two, and they have not lost face, and they also praised two people for their erudition. Isn't this the best result? The steward of Dayu Temple was very happy when he learned that. After all, he can get such good couplets for free, which is cheap and not white. So he put this couplet on this stage forever. After they knew, they finally recognized each other and shook hands. Since then, this story has been widely circulated by later generations and has become a much-told story in Dayu Temple.

Crematorium couplets caused heated discussion.

Nowadays, the culture of couplets is everywhere, and there are couplets in many places, especially during the Chinese New Year holidays, because it is an important way to express people's feelings, such as restaurants, shopping malls, people's doorways, temples and other places, but there is also a special place where couplets will be posted, and this place is the crematorium.

In reality, there is such an interesting thing. There is such a couplet on the edge of a crematorium, which has caused controversy. Many people may say that the couplets in the crematorium must be the kind of couplets about the dead sleeping in heaven, otherwise it can be something else. But in fact, the couplets in this crematorium are not as simple as you think. Maybe everyone here is curious, so let's talk about it next.

This couplet is called "Go in early and go out late, go in sooner or later". It is a bit strange to look at this couplet first, but it also reveals people's understanding of life and tells people to look down on everything, especially when facing life and death. The second couplet of this couplet is called "first come, then come", which also expresses the above meaning. In short, this couplet is to teach people to look down on life and death and live in the present.
