Chapter 705 Even if you win this game
"Good handwriting, thin handwriting, so thin without losing its flesh."
Many people have heard that Lin Xuan invented a new font, but they have never seen it, and they are a little skeptical. Now that they see the words written by Lin Xuan, they know that the rumors are true.
To be honest, although Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty was a fool, it is undeniable that the characters written in thin gold body have beautiful lines, strong strokes, precise stippling, handsome structure, and stretched layout. His artistic style has influenced generations of calligraphy hobby By.
Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others had seen Lin Xuan's characters before, so they were not so surprised, but put their minds on the couplet.
The second line given by Lin Xuan is: Floating clouds grow long, long, long, long and disappear.
Some people were puzzled, while some thoughtfully tried to read Lin Xuan's second couplet in their hearts.
"Is it right?"
Couplets were still a niche in the early Tang Dynasty, and many literati didn't understand them very well, let alone a martial artist like Cheng Yaojin, there is also an advantage in Cheng Yaojin, that is, just ask if you don't understand.
It's okay if I don't understand, as long as you understand.
However, no one paid attention to Cheng Yaojin, mainly because the upper and lower couplets were too obscure, and it was difficult for them to judge whether the person who wrote the couplet read it or not.
On the side of Taihe Academy, they didn't take it seriously at all. The couplets were not neatly matched in terms of form and word count.
It is also necessary to consider the deep meaning and artistic conception of the first couplet, including the coordination of level and obliqueness.
"Master Hou, you don't think that the couplets are matched if they have the same number of words?"
"Yeah, if that's the case, I can match up too. Master Lu's Shanglian is definitely not that simple."
On the side of Taihe Academy, many people mocked Lin Xuan.
Lu Qian narrowed his eyes and said, "Master Hou, I don't know how you read this couplet?"
Lin Xuan smiled and didn't answer, but asked instead: "How do you read your Shanglian?"
"My Shanghai couplet is: the tide of the sea, the tide is rising, and the tide is falling." Lu Qian said.
As Lu Qian read the entire couplet, the meaning of the entire couplet became very clear, and everyone suddenly realized it.
This is a couplet with the same characters and different pronunciations. No wonder they felt a little weird when they saw the first couplet just now, and they didn't have a clue after thinking about it for a long time.
This kind of couplet would be easier to say if it was shorter, but Lu Qian's first couplet used seven Chinese characters in a row. It is really too difficult for the second couplet to be neat and consistent with the artistic conception of the first couplet.
But Lin Xuan wrote down the second couplet almost without thinking. They thought Lin Xuan's second couplet was written indiscriminately.
A faint smile appeared on He Yu's face. Before he came here, he had already read all these questions. He also tried to get it right, but he still couldn't get it right. He didn't think Lin Xuan could figure it out. If you don't want to, just match up.
"What about Chaochao, the old man's head is dizzy, you literati are troublesome, no wonder you have so many intestines." Cheng Yaojin said carelessly.
The faces of Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others on the side were a bit ugly.
But they didn't want to talk about Cheng Yaojin's hob meat, so they simply pretended they didn't hear.
Even Wei Zheng, who dared to stand up to Li Shimin, didn't want to talk to Cheng Yaojin.
There is no way, Li Shimin is reasonable, as long as he is rational, he can make Li Shimin speechless.
And Cheng Yaojin, this idiot, is not unreasonable at all.
There is a saying that when a scholar meets a soldier, there is no reason to explain it clearly.
Lin Xuan ignored those taunts, and said lightly: "My second line is: floating clouds rise, long and long rise, long rise and long fade."
When Lin Xuan saw this couplet in his previous life, he was very puzzled. It was clearly Chao and Chang, but when he read it, he used Tide and Rising. Although the pronunciation is the same, the characters are different.
Later, Lin Xuan checked and realized that the morning and the tide, the long and the rising, are different in later generations, but they are actually the same in ancient times.
This will involve the ancient Tongjia characters.
The so-called "Tongjia" means "universal and borrowed", that is, to replace the original character with a character with the same or similar pronunciation or font shape.
So in ancient times, Chao and Tide, Long and Up are actually one word.
On the side of Taihe Academy, many people had smiles on their faces, but when Lin Xuan read the second couplet, the smiles on their faces were a little stiff.
All the people present are scholars. Perhaps most of them have not studied the couplets seriously, but it does not mean that they do not understand at all.
Especially when Lin Xuan recited the second line.
The tide of the sea is rising and falling.
Floating clouds rise, long and long rise, long rise and long disappear.
No matter in terms of artistic conception or level coordination, they couldn't find a single flaw.
No one thought that Lin Xuan's seemingly ordinary long length actually had hidden secrets.
"This... is it really a match?" Someone lost his voice.
In the square that had been completely silent because of Lin Xuan's meeting with Shangxialian, the sudden sound, although not loud, brought everyone back to their senses.
Lu Qian didn't come up with this Shanglian today, in fact, he had thought of it for several years. Many of them had tried to match it, but no one could match it.
Because couplets were not popular in the early Tang Dynasty, this couplet did not spread.
Even if they couldn't believe it, the facts were in front of them, and they had to believe it.
Many people suddenly remembered what Lu Qian said at the beginning, as long as Lin Xuan could match up, he would admit defeat, and his face was a little ugly.
When Lu Qian said this before, they didn't care at all, because they felt that their side would definitely win, but now they complained about Lu Qian.
If you hadn't been so full of words, they wouldn't have lost.
Among them, the one with the ugliest face was He Yu. He had decided on the competition questions. He wanted to get a good start, but now he lost. How can he explain to the Wang family?
He Yu's wife is from the Wang family, and she is related to the Wang family by marriage. She has always wanted to marry the Wang family, but none of her grandsons are up to the mark, and the Wang family doesn't like it at all.
If, in the early years, the Wang family had allowed a girl from an unorthodox family to marry him for He Yu's sake, that would be fine.
But now that He Yu is in his late [-]s, and he won't have a good life for a few years, the Wang family naturally doesn't need to give him face.
At his age, he shouldn't be involved in such things. After all, if he wins, he will offend Li Shimin, and if he loses, he may lose his life at the end of the day, which is of no benefit to him.
But the Wang family promised that as long as he is willing to lead the team to participate, he will marry the He family, and he will be a daughter of the He family.
Only then did He Yu agree. Originally, he was full of confidence in this trip. Who would have thought that he would lose the first game.
Lu Qian looked at Lin Xuan, and there was no displeasure on his face because of Lin Xuan's release of the second couplet. Instead, he laughed and said, "Okay, it's really scary for young people."
He really likes couplets, and he has no choice but to come here this time.
He is also from Shandong, and the five surnames and Qiwang have been rooted in Shandong for thousands of years. In addition to the marriages of these years, the entire Shandong clan has no connection with the five surnames and Qiwang.
Lu Qian laughed for a long time before he stopped. He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This old man, no one can match up to now. Although your second line is reluctant, but the old man said before that if you can match up, I will be fine." If you win, you will win this game."
