The last bamboo couplet in the series of "Wonderful Couplets of the Past Dynasties" is still from the "title gift category".
Title study
Mountains and clouds are painted without ink; Bamboo knocking autumn rain audio poem.
This pair of study couplets is a battle with what you see with your eyes and what you hear with your ears. Shanglian "Mountains wipe micro clouds", with the words and sentences of Qin Guan's "Man Tingfang", continues with the three words "no ink painting", emphasizing the elegance of its color. The next link is opposite to "bamboo knocking autumn rain", which can be described as word precision, but according to the normal word order, it should be "autumn rain knocking bamboo", which is an inverted syntax. The three words "audio poetry" highlight the poetry of sound. The ancients believed that poetry and painting were different and the same appearance, so they called the scenery a "painting" without ink and a "poem" with sound. Quanlian writes about watching the clouds and listening to the rain, reflecting the leisurely and elegant taste of the scholars, and the painting of the upper link and the poetry of the lower link blend with each other, which is more elegant and elegant, and timeless and tasteful.

The meager clouds on the top of the mountain resemble an elegant ink painting; The sound of the autumn rain knocking on the green bamboo is like the sound of poetry.

It is generally believed that this is a set of sentence couplets, and the person who collects the sentences is anonymous. Similarly, there are "mountains and clouds, no ink paintings; The moon moves and the shadow of the flower has a love poem", "the mountain loves the clear clouds without ink painting; Bamboo knocking autumn rain audio poems", "light smoke outside the curtain without ink painting; Rain in the woods audio poem" and so on.
Most researchers believe that the upper link "Mountain Wipe Micro Clouds" in the above-mentioned number couplet is from Qin Guanci "Man Ting Fang": "The mountain wipes the micro clouds, the sky sticks to the decaying grass, and the sound of the horn is broken." This poem has been passed down for a long time. Because of this, Qin Guan was praised by Su Shi as "the master of the mountain and the micro-cloud Qin". It can be said that "mountains and clouds" is Qinguan's "patent". What is the sentence of the next link "Bamboo Knocking Autumn Rain ......"? Ancient poems include "The wind and bamboo knock on the autumn rhyme in the middle of the night, and the thousands of leaves and thousands of voices are hate" ("Magnolia", Ouyang Xiu) and so on. "Autumn rain" abounds in ancient poems: "The spring breeze peach and plum blossoms bloom, and the autumn rain when the sycamore leaves fall" ("Song of Long Hatred", Bai Juyi); "Pick up the silver lamp, pick the beads, embroider the quilt is slightly cold and worth the autumn rain" ("Ying Tianchang", Feng Yansi); "Nuwa refining stones to make up for the sky, and the stones break the sky and tease the autumn rain" ("Li Pinggong Hou Yin", Li He); "In the sassy autumn rain, shallow pomegranate lax" ("Luan Jiase", Wang Wei)......
For example, some people wrote a joint praise for the description in the "Spring Rain Grass Hall Poems" in the sixteenth year of Jin Shi Gong Wei Bi of Ming Chongzhen, and the couplet said, "There is no ink painting outside the hall; Spring rain in front of the eaves audio poem" (anonymous); "There is no ink painting outside the temple; Sound poems of sparse rain in the woods" (Liangbu) and so on.
