Yang, a favorite of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, was jealous of Li Bai's talent and was very dissatisfied with him. He has been trying to mock him. One day, Yang came up with an idea to let Li Bai correct these three-step sentences. As soon as Li Bai entered the door, Yang looked at Li Bai and said sarcastically, "Two apes were cutting trees on the mountain and asked the monkeys how to saw." ?

"See" homophonic "sentence" and "monkey" allude to Li Bai. Hearing this, Li Bai smiled and said, "Please start. If you can't get it right in three steps, I will lose. " Yang wanted to finish these three steps quickly, but just after one step, Li Bai pointed to Yang's feet and shouted, "The horse is hiding in the mud, and we'll see how all the animals get out of their hooves!" !

"hoof" and "title" are harmonious, and the title is well aligned with the upper part. Yang Ben wanted to take advantage of three steps, but he was humiliated by Li Bai. As soon as he lifted his foot, he was ridiculed as "the hoof of an animal", which made him very embarrassed not to leave or stay.

Couplets are the treasures of China traditional culture, and the earliest recorded couplets appeared in the Three Kingdoms period. During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty (1368- 1399), an extra-large iron cross was unearthed in Luling, Jiangxi Province (now Ji 'an City, Jiangxi Province), on which the year number of Sun Quan Chiwu in the Three Kingdoms period (238-250) was cast.

On the iron cross, there is also a beautifully made couplet cloud: "The four seas celebrate An Lan, and the iron column leaves a cross; All the people are pregnant with Ozawa, and the golden stove is fragrant for thousands of years. " Its form and content are related to early Christians in China. Spring Festival couplets are called Spring Festival couplets, funeral couplets are called elegiac couplets, and wedding couplets are called violet couplets. Couplets are a national style written by using the characteristics of Chinese characters, and generally do not need rhyme.
