"What? There is still a secret hidden in this couplet...?" Zhang Yi looked surprised.

"Isn't it?" The teacher in Qinglang smiled and stared at the young scholar. The scholar seemed to know nothing. He was slightly stunned, his eyes turned, and asked, "Do you dare to ask Brother Bowen, what is the mystery of this couplet?"

The scholar in the green robe smiled, and a cunning light flashed in his eyes and said, "What's the difficulty? The first couplet of this couplet is: Black is not, white is not, red is not red, and it seems like foxes, cats, wolfs and dogs, neither domestic animals, nor wild animals. If I read correctly, this couplet looks like foxes, wolfs and cats and dogs on the left, and the blue characters on the right are of a color, but not black, white, red and yellow. It implies a word "guessing"!"

"That's right! Or are you Liu Bowen's skills better?" After reminding the teacher Qingpao, Song Lian was shocked.

He laughed with his long beard and said, "Mr. Xiao is so cunning. He uses such couplets to test me better. Fortunately, I am not frivolous. I have poems in the lower couplets, lyrics, and lyrics in the Analects. They are vague about the east, west, south, and north. Although it is a short work, it is a wonderful article. The lower couplet is in the lyrics, poems in the poems, and the Analects, and it loses the east, south, and north. The four words in the Analects are in the poems next to the left. The right side loses the south, north, and north, and hides a word "mystery" that matches the upper couplet of Mr. Xiao. However, if I don't get Brother Bowen's reminder, I cannot understand it for a while. It can be seen that Brother Bowen is still superior in his knowledge!"

"The little couplet has changed a lot, interesting! It's interesting! I'm not talented and I want to ask for advice. I wonder if Mr. Xiao can show a pair of them with a look of praise?" The speaker is about fifty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a gray Confucian uniform. The flying Confucian crown is just inserted into the head with a small jade hairpin, which looks energetic and extraordinary.

The young scholar smiled and said, "It is rare for Mr. Ye to admire his face, but he is so eager to be grateful for his face. But...?"

Seeing the young scholar hesitant expression, the Mr. Ye said, "Honor, have you encountered difficulties?"

The young master said, "There is no difficulty, but the four of them are all great sages in the world. They have learned more than a thousand things in their hearts. In the lower part, I am afraid that this little bit of ink will not be worthy of carrying shoes for the four of them. So this pair is still willing to think about it!"

When the four of them heard him praise his knowledge, everyone was proud of their hearts. When they looked at each other, the Mr. Ye nodded repeatedly and said, "This is natural, this is natural! Just think about it, I am not impatient!"

"Thank you then!" The young scholar bowed slightly and glanced at the river bank. At this time, the big boat slowly sailed towards the ferry. Opposite the ferry was the Qinhuai River. The six people revisited the old place. Thinking of the six people fighting against the enemy a few days ago, a sense of pride was in my heart.

The ancient buildings on the shore, the eaves and windows leaking, carved beams and painted buildings, the boats and waves, the sounds and lights of the oars and lights, the prosperous city, the ancient sites, gardens, pleasure boats, city streets, pavilions, Confucius Temple, the platform, Wende Bridge, Shiba Street, Wuyi Lane, and Zhuque Bridge were faintly visible. The young scholar looked at it for a long time, and his frown continued to stretch out. A faint smile surged into the eyes of the pretty beauties beside him.

"What's the wonder of the first floor? Du Shaoling's five-character masterpiece, Fan Xiwen's two-character character is related to love, Teng Zijing is full of waste, Lu Chunyang will be drunk after three mistakes. Poetry, Confucian, official, immortal? I didn't see the ancients before, which made me cry!" The young scholar did not look back and suddenly threw out this sentence.

"This..." Finally, the old man was shocked when he heard this, stared at Xiao Yun and said, "Young Master Xiao... is this a pair? Why is it so long...?"

The young scholar smiled proudly, turned around and stretched out his hand to pull the wrist gently. The pretty beauty moaned, and saw him pulling his wrist in front of everyone, and was happy, and his pretty face was blushing and his body was swaying.

Everyone knew the relationship between the two, so they didn't care. They thought about the couplets in front of them. Among the four, Song Lian, a scholar with green robe, had the most knowledgeable knowledge. He smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth and tried to make a solution. Zhang Yi stuck to his long beards, sometimes shook his head, sometimes frowned, sometimes murmured, as if he had a pair, but he was not very satisfied, and shook his head and sighed.

The old man named Ye saw the young scholar nodding vigorously, and his heart sank. This pair of characters uses many allusions, famous allusions, famous poems, famous poems, legends and anecdotes, depictions of emotions and scenery, and reflecting the past. It is really rare to find the second couplet. Compared with the second couplet, it is actually extremely difficult to deal with. I thought about several pairs in my heart, but I always felt that there were many flaws in the neatness, and I couldn't help but sighed and shook my head and didn't know it!"

After pondering for a long time, he talked softly, saying, "This couplet is absolutely perfect for the ages. I really can't match it... I hope Mr. Xiao will forgive me!" This person is among the four, and he is old and has a lot of talent in his heart. He saw that all three of them were fiddling with their talents vigorously in front of the young scholar. He was envious and admired in his heart. At this time, he wanted to show it, but he was speechless. In an instant, all his ambitions disappeared, and his expression was indescribable to express his feelings!"

The young scholar clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Ye doesn't have to be humble. It's not surprising that you can't match this couple. I think that I have been in China for more than 4,000 years, and there are only more than ten people who can match it?"

When the young scholar was talking, his expression was very proud, and it happened to fall into the eyes of the Qingpao Teacher. The Qingpao Teacher snorted coldly and said, "It's just a few people. Brother Xiao is so bold. I'm not talented. Now there is a couple who say he will listen to Brother Xiao and see if it's right!"

"Oh...?" Seeing that the teacher in Qinglang was a little angry, the young man clapped the jade palm in his hand and said with a smile: "Since Brother Bowen has such a talent, let me listen!"

The teacher in Qingpao snorted, with two sword eyebrows spreading on his forehead, and his expression was solemn. He looked at the meeting for a while and said loudly: "Look at Xiaoxiang, Dongting Lake, Wuxia, Yangtze River, Wuxia, Baling Mountain, and the cliffs of Yuezhou City. The stagnant, the flowing, the standing, and the town, have the true meaning, and ask who can understand it."

"That's right, so right. Brother Bowen is indeed more than Wei Zheng and Zhuge. Such a talent makes me ashamed?" When Liu Bowen spoke, Song Lian was the first to shout. He had some wonderful matches in his heart, and was proud of himself. Suddenly, when he heard the teacher in the green robe, he was shocked and silently muttered. He realized that this was many times better than his own wonderful match. He was surprised and happy for a moment, and admired him sincerely.

Interpretation and appreciation:

The first couplet: Du Shaoling’s five-character masterpiece: Du Shaoling is Du Fu. The tomb of Emperor Xuan of Han, Xu Empress Xu, was located in the south of Chang'an County, Shaanxi Province, and the place was called Shaolingyuan. Du Fu once lived here and called himself "Shaoling Ye Lao". The five-character masterpiece refers to Du Fu's five-character regular poem "Climbing Yueyang Tower": "I heard the water of Dongting, and now I go up to Yueyang Tower. Wu and Chu are in the southeast, and the universe floats day and night. No relatives and friends have a word, and old age and sick have a lonely boat. The horses and horses are north of the mountain, and tears flow through the stream."

The two words "Fan Xiwen" are related to the meaning of "Fan Xiwen": Fan Xiwen is Fan Zhongyan. Fan Zhongyan (989-1052), a politician and writer in the Northern Song Dynasty. He is from Wuxian, Jiangsu Province. He has "Fan Wenzheng Gong Collection" passed down. Among them, "Yueyang Tower Inscriptions" are the most famous, especially the famous saying "Worry before the world is worried, and after the world is happy" is passed down by the world. The two words "Fan Wenzheng" refers to the two words "worry" and "happiness".

Teng Zijing was a revival of all destructions: Teng Zijing was Teng Zongliang, whose courtesy name was Zijing. He was from Henan, and was appointed as the Jinshi with Fan Zhongyan. He served as the chief minister of the palace, the prefect, and the Tianzhang Pavilion. He was demoted to Yueyang for some reason. The following year, he presided over the reconstruction of Yueyang Tower. Fan Zhongyan wrote in "The Records of Yueyang Tower": "In the spring of the fourth year of the Qingli period, Teng Zijing was exiled to Baling County. Next year, the government was connected and the people were harmonious, and all destructions were prospered. Therefore, the Yueyang Tower was renovated and the old system was added."

Lu Chunyang will be drunk after three passes: Lu Chunyang is Lu Dongbin, known as Yan. A Jinshi of the Tang Dynasty. Legend has it that he later went to Zhongnan Mountain to practice Taoism and became an immortal, and became one of the "Eight Immortals". He called himself Chunyangzi. According to "Yueyang Fengtu Ji", Lu Dongbin loved wine and Zeng San was drunk on Yueyang Tower. There were words he left on the building. His poem "Quatricians" say: "Three drunk people in Yueyang don't know it, so they chant brightly and flew across Dongting Lake."

Poetry, Confucian, official, immortal: Is a poet? Is a Confucian? Is an official? Is a god?

The ancients were not seen in front of me, which made me cry: This was a good sentence from Chen Zi'ang's "Song of Climbing the Youzhou Platform". The poem contains a good sentence "I didn't see the ancients in front of me, and I didn't see the coming from behind. I miss the vastness of the world, but I was sad and she burst into tears."

The second couplet: Antarctic Xiaoxiang: Here we are the guide to the south to Xiaoshui and Xiangshui.

The Yangtze River connects Wu Gorge in the north of the Yangtze River: The Yangtze River is the Yangtze River. Wu Gorge is one of the three gorges of the Yangtze River. It is located in the west of Badong County, Hubei Province and borders Wushan County, Sichuan.

The cool air from Baling Mountain in the west: refers to the Baling Mountain in the west of Yueyang. Baling, which was originally called Baling County. Ancient legend said that Xia Houyi once killed the Ba snake in Dongting Lake and accumulated bones into hills. The cool air refers to the clear and open natural scene. Liu Yiqing's "New Words of the World: Jian Ao": "The West Mountain comes to the morning and makes it feel refreshed."

The Yajiang District of the east road of Yuezhou City: Yuezhou was established in Yuezhou in the Sui Dynasty. The capital was located in Baling (now Yueyang City), changed to Lu in the Yuan Dynasty, changed to Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty, and Baling County was established in the Southern Song Dynasty. Yuezhou City is the current Yueyang City. The Yanjiang District of the east road refers to the mountains and rocks in the east and west, and refers to the boundary of mountain rocks. There are also those interpreted as "Yazhou Frontier", which means that "Yazhou refers to the area in the southeast of Guangdong", which is probably too far-reaching.

Zhu: Zhu is the place where water stops. Han Yu's poem "Bits the Dou Kezhi of Yueyang Tower" in the Tang Dynasty has the sentence "Zhu is 700 miles, and the swallowing and receiving are different."

The confronter: upright, towering.

Towner: The main mountain of one side is called a town, depicting the appearance of a powerful mountain in the town.

There is a true meaning in this, and who can understand it: Use the good lines from Tao Yuanming's poem "Drinking" instead. The poem "Drinking" says: "Build a hut in the human world, but there is no noise from the carriages and horses. How can you? The heart is far away and the earth is far away. Pick chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the southern mountains. The mountain atmosphere is beautiful day and night, and the flying birds return together. There is a true meaning in this, and I have forgotten to say it if I want to argue."

Dou You: whose courtesy name is Ji, his name is Zizhou, and his pseudonym is Lanquan. He is from Shuji Village, Luoping, Yunnan, and was an official in Hunan. This couplet is written by Dou Wu and He Shaoji; the other is written by He Shaoji. According to Yan Han's article "The Long Couplet of Yueyang Tower and the Author Dou Wu", the author of this couplet is definitely Dou Wu.
