Liu Xiankai, a folk legend.

According to legend, he was from Huguang (now Hubei) in Ming Dynasty.

The legendary story of Liu Xiankai and Lun has been amazing so far, and it has also been adapted into the movie Liu Xiankai, Lun's Old Point.

Brilliant to go to Beijing to take the exam. Liu Xiankai, who met with arrogance, declared that he would win the first prize and humiliated Lun Xuwen who sold vegetables many times. As a result, Lun was the first in high school and Liu Xiankai was the second.

The latter two let bygones be bygones and appreciated each other and became sworn brothers.

Extended data:

The couplets initiated by Lun have strong Lingnan cultural characteristics and are rooted in the life circle of Guangfu culture.

For example, rude scholars bend their knees to show Zhou Jianer, and affectionate academies bow their heads to see Sanzu.

A wooden horse has no head and three legs, and a dragon has eyes and a half body.

"Jian Peijun" and "Sanzhi" are characteristic words in Cantonese, which mean "seeing" and "Sanzhi" respectively.

Lun Xuwen is a genius who doesn't underestimate himself. As far as couplet art is concerned, he does not underestimate his cultural origin. Guangdong was called the land of barbarians in ancient times. As the top scholar in Guangdong, Lun tried to correct this prejudice. Facts speak plainer than words. Guangdong does have cultural value, otherwise this feature will not be preserved to this day.

Secondly, there are hidden ironies, such as: the well smells bad and the old monkey who painted the fruit on the white wall wants to eat it.

Couplets are ironic, but easy to understand.
