Introduction to the No. 1 Long Couplet in the World: The long couplet at the Grand View Tower of Dianchi Lake in Kunming, Yunnan was written by Sun Beard of the Qing Dynasty. It has a total length of 180 words and can be called "the first couplet in the world in ancient times".
First couplet: Five hundred miles away from the Dianchi Lake, running towards the eyes, draped in skirts and skirts, full of joy and boundless emptiness! Look: the divine horse in the east, the spiritual instrument in the west, the meandering dragon in the north, and the plain silk in the south. Masters and rhymes, why don't you choose to come to the Xie Island and Luozhou, comb your hair and mist in the wind, and watch the sky and the reeds? , decorated with some green feathers and red clouds, don't let it down, surrounded by fragrant rice, vast hectares of clear sand, hibiscus in nine summers, and willows in three springs.
Second line: Thousands of years of past events are brought to my mind. I drink wine and sigh. Who is the hero? Think about it: The Han Dynasty studied building boats, the Tang Dynasty marked iron pillars, the Song Dynasty wielded jade axes, and the Yuan Dynasty carried leather bags. They were heroic and accomplished. They spent all their efforts to move mountains and painted bead curtains to paint buildings. They couldn't catch the evening rain and clouds, so they broke off the stone tablets. Paying for the mist and falling light, I only get a few pestles and sparse bells, half a river of fishing fire, two rows of autumn geese, and a pillow of clear frost.
