Smoke lock pond willow?

Such a simple five-character couplet?

Zheng Anbang laughed, "That's it?"

"The artistic conception is quite good, but..." Da Lei also said.

A young man from the Writers Association said confidently: "What's so difficult about this? I love Yuluo..."

But before he could say it, Zhang Ye had already written out his first couplet on the computer board in front of him.

Immediately, after a staff operation, the first line was printed on a big screen, and everyone could see it clearly.

The young man from the Writers' Association also saw the first couplet, and then he choked back the second couplet after "Yu Luo", coughed, and stopped talking. Only then did he realize how humorous his words "What's so difficult about this" were? . Many people around were stunned when they saw it.

Smoke lock pond willow?

fire metal water earth wood

Each character contains five elements of radicals.

Can you think of such a tricky couplet like your grandma’s? And the five elements and radicals cooperate so well? Who said Zhang Ye can't answer questions?

Da Lei lowered his head to meditate and kept mumbling something, obviously reading the second line.

Zheng Anbang and many people from the Writers' Association and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles also began to silently confront each other in their hearts.

Seeing them working so hard, Zhang Ye was happy, hugging his shoulders and watching the fun. Yes, this first couplet only has one trick: the radicals of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. It is difficult, but it doesn’t look too difficult. Anyone who understands some couplet culture may feel that they can figure it out when they see this first couplet. As long as you have time, it's enough. As long as you find the right words, it's enough. Looking at the expressions of everyone present, it's obvious that they all think so.

But only Zhang Ye knew that no one could get this first line right.

In Zhang Ye's world, the facts have proved this point. Some couplets may seem difficult, but it may not be as difficult as imagined, such as the couplets that make a fuss about radicals, lotus stems, lotus roots, and lotus moss. It looks very complicated and all have the prefix "grass", but if you think about it carefully, they are all flowers, plants and trees, so there is no problem with the fragrant hibiscus, peony and pistil, and there are many others that can match it. But some first couplets seem to have only a little mystery, and they look similar to other first couplets. You can understand them at a glance, but unfortunately, even after a lifetime of hard work, you can’t match them.

Smoke locks the willow in the pond - this is a couplet that no one can understand no matter how many lifetimes.

The history of this first couplet can be said to be quite long. In Zhang Ye's world, it has always been passed down as an absolute through the ages. Countless literati and poets have been defeated by it for hundreds of thousands of years. But people in this world now, I've definitely never heard of it.

Someone has fired a cannon at Zhenhaicheng Tower.

This paragraph is also quoted in the play "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan". Many people think that this couplet is a pair. In fact, it is not the case. Paozhen Haicheng Tower can only be regarded as a "right pair" at best, not a pair. The lower couplet is The poor performance is not only reflected in the artistic conception, but also in the rhythm. First of all, in terms of rhythm, referring to the poem's rhythm one, three, and five, it doesn't matter, but two, four, and six are clear. The second and fourth characters of the upper and lower couplets are all oblique sounds (suo-zhen, tang-cheng), which is not correct. Secondly, in terms of artistic conception, the first couplet is green and elegant, while the lower part is rough and martial. Although one is literary and the other is martial, it is not coordinated and lacks overall harmony.

All these standard couplets that many people think of are not standard.

There are also people who are interested in "Deng Shen Village Temple Bell" and "Beacon Sales Ji Sai Hong". Unfortunately, the artistic conception is average, which is good, but the five elements radicals are lacking.

His side recognized that the one that was right most should be Tao Ran Jin Jiang Di. Yet even this second line has problems. Its advantage is that it is smooth and neat, with profound artistic conception, especially the word "burn" is absolutely perfect, and the order of the five elements' radicals is just right. However, the disadvantage is that Jinjiangdi is not a common term, and Jinjiang is not a common term compared to Pond, so there is still a certain gap between Jinjiangdi and Pondliu. From the point of view of level, the first line is level, level, level, level, and level. In order not to violate the rules of isolation, the second line must be level level, level, level, level, level, level, level, level, level, level, level, level, level, level, level, level, level, level, level, level, level, level, level, level, level, level, level, level, level, level, level, level, level, level, level, level, level, and level. The most regrettable thing about this sentence is that the "jiang" in Jinjiang has a flat tone, and it cannot match the flat tone of "tang" in the first couplet with a flat tone.

Therefore, this couplet has no solution, so it has been called the absolute through the ages.

"Dalei, are you right?"

"I'm still a little short of it, I'm almost there, I'm almost there."

"I also feel a little bit close, and I already have an idea."

"Do you still have time? I should be able to give it a try, there are only two words missing, next to the word "fire"... next to the word "fire"...

Because the championship has been decided and the game is actually over, some of them communicated in low voices and were not so particular.

The judges and teachers didn't pay attention to them, but they were writing and drawing on the table, and they were also trying out Zhang Ye's first couplet.

Zhang Ye looked at them, either frowning or thinking hard, and one of them smiled softly, right? If anyone of you can really confront me, I will unscrew my head and give it to you. This couplet has been circulated in my world for hundreds of thousands of years. Oh, but no one can do it. You only have a few minutes or ten and you still want to face each other? Not to mention this little effort, even if I give you a hundred years, no, even if I give the world a hundred or a thousand years, no one can answer this first couplet perfectly. Forget it, I won’t remind you, just figure it out for yourself, I’m just taking a break

Five minutes passed.

Ten minutes passed.

This is a live broadcast, so we definitely can't wait. The two hosts are adjusting the atmosphere.

"This first couplet doesn't seem simple?" the male host looked at the screen and asked.

The female host smiled and said: "Not only is it not simple, it looks ordinary, but in fact the threshold is on the inside. Just the radicals of metal, wood, water, fire and earth can stop many people, and there are also battles between flat and oblique sounds. The two must be connected together to be neat, and the most important thing is the artistic conception. Teacher Zhang’s first couplet has a far-reaching artistic conception, an ethereal image, and full of vitality. It is not easy to match this first couplet.”

She does know a little bit.

However, it is just to understand a little bit.

The second judge's head was trembling, and he threw down his pen and said: "I can't do it anymore, you guys come on, it seems like there is a solution, but it just can't be right, it's not neat."

The third judge spread his hands and he also gave up.

The male host blinked and said, no one is right? Even the judges and teachers can’t do it? It can't be, isn't it just a couplet? There are so many famous people and experts present. This means that there is strength in numbers. He then looked at some of the people nearby who were not participating in the Literary and Art Federation and the Writers' Association on stage. Those people were also silently trying. Looking at the audience again, everyone is immersed in this first couplet without exception, and they want to solve it without any belief.

But most of the time passed, and still no one spoke.

Finally, Mr. Qian put down the pen in his hand, raised his head slightly and said, "That's it for now."

Dalei did not admit defeat and said hurriedly: "Mr. Qian, please give us a little more time. We will be fine soon."

"Yeah, I'm just missing one word right now, I just haven't thought of one word yet." Another member of the Beijing Writers' Association said

Mr. Qian interrupted them and expressed the most authoritative opinion, "No need to think about it, no need to be right. No matter how much time I give everyone, no one will be able to correct the second line."

Zhang Ye glanced at Mr. Qian unexpectedly, Huh? Are there really smart people?

"No matter how long it takes?" Da Lei didn't believe it, "Why?"

Mr. Qian smiled bitterly and said to everyone's surprise: "Because this is an eternal absolute."

"What?"

"absolute?"

"Eternal absolute?"

"There is definitely a solution to the impossible"

"Yes, how can it be absolute?"

"Mr. Qian, are you mistaken?"

Many contestants were puzzled and refused to admit it at all.

What is eternal absolute? To put it bluntly, it is a pair that no one can match.

The question that Mr. Qian originally asked in the preliminaries, "The sea water is falling, the sea is falling," is considered absolute in the eyes of many people? In fact, it is not the case. This can only be regarded as a strange connection. At most, it can be regarded as an eternal strange connection, but it cannot be said to be an eternal connection, because this strange connection has been perfectly solved by Zhang Ye, and Qian Lao himself There should be a decent second line, and he himself was right about it, so he had an understanding, but it cannot be regarded as eternal.

The first couplet of Da Lei? Not counting this one, which is not even close to a strange connection. At most, it is a coincidence and it was corrected and understood by Zhang Ye.

None of these are

Yansuo Pond Liu is actually?

No one can be convinced and they are all waiting for Mr. Qian to explain.

Only Qian Laodao said: "I know what you are thinking. I was just like you, thinking that as long as I had time, I could solve this first couplet. But after trying a few times, I found that this first couplet has no solution at all. The Five Elements Radicals, the order of radicals, oblique sounds, artistic conception, contrast between upper and lower words, five points are indispensable. It is easy to match one point, and it is not difficult to match two points, but it is almost impossible to match three points. It's possible, not to mention that all five points are perfectly matched. Yansuo Pond Liu - this first couplet is definitely famous even in ancient times. I can tell you with absolute certainty that this first couplet is There will be no solution within a hundred years

It can only be left to future generations." As he said this, Mr. Qian sighed regretfully.

No solution for a hundred years?

Is it really eternal? ?

Mr. Qian has a very high reputation in the circle, and he is also recognized as one of the most accomplished people in the couplet culture in China. He has said so, and everyone has to believe it. And even if some people are still unwilling to agree, what can they do? ? They really can't apologize.

The second judge said in astonishment: "Is this really true?"

"I'm sure." Mr. Qian's tone was very firm.

The third judge looked at Zhang Ye who was not far away, and said with a wry smile: "Who is coming to our Couplet Competition this time? This is no longer about the waves behind the Yangtze River pushing the waves ahead. This guy wants to challenge the seniors in the industry. I was photographed dead on the beach. I am such an ignorant old man. When did such a genius appear in China?"

The little old lady smiled and said: "Go back and read his "Shui Tiao Ge Tou". No, it's better to listen to his live version. Then you shouldn't be surprised by his performance today. That was also a The first word that can be passed down through the ages.”

What is the concept of eternity?

It may be difficult to understand at first glance, but it will be very clear with an example. Absolute through the ages, this is equivalent to several mathematical conjectures in the world of mathematics, and it is also the biggest problem in the world of mathematics. Everyone knows that there is a solution, and everyone knows that it can be deduced and worked out. It is partial, that is, no one can solve it.

There are only a few major conjectures in mathematics.

In the literary world, there are only five or six absolute

But starting from today, there is one more eternal absolute in this world. The first couplet of this absolute is - Yansuo Pondliu
