Couplets

Couplets, also known as couplets, are commonly known as couplets. It is a dual sentence written on paper, cloth or carved on bamboo, wood, or pillars. It is a unique art form of the Chinese language that uses simple words and profound meanings, neat contrasts, and harmonious oblique and oblique tones. According to legend, the couplet originated from Meng Chang, the lord of Shu after the Five Dynasties. It is a cultural treasure of the Chinese nation. The couplets hung during the Spring Festival are called Spring Festival couplets.

Couplets, also known as couplets, antithetical couplets, door pairs, spring posts, couplets, antithetical couplets, peach charms, etc., are a type of dual literature that originated from peach charms. Couplets are a national style written using the characteristics of Chinese characters. Rhyming is generally not required (only couplets in rhythmic poetry require rhyming). Couplets can be roughly divided into poetry couplets and prose couplets. The format of the couplets is strict, with large and small parts of speech corresponding to each other. Traditional couplets have similar forms, connected contents, coordinated tones, and rigorous contrasts.

With the rise of poetry in the Tang Dynasty, prose couplets were excluded. Prose couplets are generally informal, do not avoid heavy words, do not overemphasize the corresponding parts of speech, and do not lose the contrast.
