Sorrow Sacrificial texts are a practical style of writing specially used in the funeral process. Although the content is simple and the form is not much, it has higher requirements in writing and form, and prevarication cannot be ignored.
Elegiac couplet is a variation of ancient elegy. Elegies are ancient funeral songs in memory of the deceased. "Book of Jin·Book of Rites" contains "Stories of the Wei and Han Dynasties, great funerals and the mourning of ministers, and elegy for those who hold the ribbon." Xinli believed that the elegy originated from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's labor song, with a mournful sound, so it was regarded as a farewell gift. There are two chapters in ancient funeral songs: "Xie Lu" and "Artemisia Li". "Those who mourn the coffin sing it, and the world also calls it an elegy."
As a style of mourning for the deceased, elegiac couplets are a funeral custom among the Han people and are popular throughout the country. At first, the feelings of mourning for the deceased were mostly expressed in poetry, lyrics, songs and other rhymes, and later gradually formed a form of couplets to express the feelings. Literati in the past dynasties often wrote elegiac couplets in the form of five characters or seven rhymes to express sadness, but not for praise. According to legend, elegiac couplets were written in the Song Dynasty. Lu You's "Notes on Laoxue'an" records that the prime minister of Zhao Yuanzhen (Ding) was banished to Zhuya and became seriously ill. He wrote an inscription in his own book saying: "He returned to heaven riding a Jiwei, and his energy made mountains and rivers strong for this dynasty."
In today’s funeral activities, elegiac couplets are still widely used and have become a must-have for the bereaved family.
Elegant couplets are special couplets and are specially written to commemorate the deceased. Therefore, writing elegiac couplets not only requires sincerity of emotion, but also requires attention to the writing characteristics of elegiac couplets.
(1) The contemporary nature of elegiac couplets.
Elegiac couplets are carriers that reflect social life and express people's thoughts and emotions. Therefore, with the changes of the times, the content of the elegiac couplets will also change accordingly, such as: "The treasures are silent, the strings and pillars are absolutely beautiful, and the Yaotai has a moon mirror in the sky." It is an elegiac couplet used by husbands in the old days to commemorate their wives, and it is used in modern husbands to mourn their wives. It's just a little more stale.
(2) The pertinence of the elegiac couplet. The elegiac couplets are highly targeted and must be in line with the position, identity, sentiments and achievements of the deceased. Even the thoughts and emotions of the place and time must be in line with the things and places. Elegiac couplets cannot be used interchangeably, nor can they be used universally. This should be the soul of writing elegiac couplets.
Like holding a Ding Ling
The east wind cuts the willows, and when the festival is poor, a song of mulberry stems spreads across Guangyu
The dust is condensed in the Yaose, and the love is sad on the snowy night, A century-old woman shines in Gaoqiu
Even if there are some 'universal couplets', their general scope is very limited.
The elegiac couplet is a special couplet in the couplet. Therefore, when writing an elegiac couplet, you must control the quality and form characteristics of the couplet. This is the key to writing a good elegiac couplet.
(1) The formal characteristics of pairs. A general elegiac couplet (pair) is composed of two sentences. The first sentence is called the upper half of the couplet, and the second sentence is called the second half of the couplet. No matter how long the elegiac couplet is (for some long couplets, the upper and lower halves of the couplet are composed of a dozen or even dozens of characters) or how short it is, it always consists of the upper half and the lower half of the couplet, and the upper half of the couplet and The second half of the couplet must be well matched, and the order cannot be reversed. The quality of the elegiac couplet depends on the hanging situation. If it is too long and the characters are small and unnoticeable, if it is too short and hollow and unsightly, it should be moderate in size and beautiful.
(2) The formal characteristics of duality. Parallelism is to use sentences with the same number of words and the same or similar syntax to arrange and combine them in pairs. Strict elegiac couplets not only require an equal number of words and the same syntax, but also require the same parts of speech, and the contrast is very clever.
