The Spring Festival couplets are divided into upper and lower couplets, and it is not easy to distinguish the meaning of the upper and lower couplets alone. Generally speaking, the first character of the upper couplet has the sound of "廄", which is the third and fourth tones, and the second character of the second couplet The first character has the "ping" tone, that is, the first and second tones. According to this rule, we can accurately distinguish the upper and lower couplets.
Couplet form:
As the name suggests, couplets must be in "pairs", that is, they are composed of an upper couplet and a lower couplet. The number of words in the upper and lower couplets must be equal, and the content must be consistent, that is, the upper and lower couplets must be "connected" (opposed to each other). Two unrelated sentences cannot be combined casually to form a couplet.
Couplets are generally written vertically, with the last character (oblique tone) of the first couplet on the right (upper hand) and the last character (flat tone) of the second couplet on the left (lower hand).
Although the antithesis of couplets is similar to that of poetry, it is more demanding than poetry. There are broad and narrow couplets. A wide pair only requires that the contents of the upper and lower couplets are connected to form a couplet, while a narrow pair must be written strictly according to the standards of "Li Weng Duiyun".
