Nine taboos of couplets!

《1》Nine taboos in couplets——
One should avoid putting your hands together, two should avoid being heavy, and three should avoid being out of balance. Pay attention to the fourth mistake, the fifth is a mess and the sixth is a lonely level. Seventh, remember the three level tails. Eighth, avoid being heavy on top and light on the bottom. The ninth taboo for beginners is to use obscure classics. They should be simple and easy to understand but also seek to be thorough.
《2》Interpretation of specific taboos——
[One should avoid adding words together]: Adding words together refers to the situation in a couplet where words or phrases with similar, near, or identical meanings appear at the same time, either in comparison or in comparison. In other words, words or phrases with repeated meanings appear at the same time.
[Secondly avoid repetition]: repetition refers to irregular repetition of words. Regular repetition of words makes a clever couplet, while irregular repetition of words makes a wrong couplet.
[The fourth thing to pay attention to is the substitution of tones]: substitution of tones is also a kind of grammatical error. In the words of the same couplet (upper or lower couplet), the level and oblique tones should appear alternately and regularly. The second, fourth and sixth characters of the first couplet should be 仄, 平, 仄, or 平, 仄, 平; the second, fourth and sixth characters of the second couplet should be 平, 仄, 平, or 仄, 平, 仄. If there are two consecutive even or two uneven tones in the second, fourth or sixth character of the couplet, it is called "Shi Ti".
【五为乱脚】:脚 refers to the last word of the upper or lower couplet. It is necessary to follow that the first line ends with a rising tone and the second line ends with a level tone, that is, the first line should end with a rising tone and the second line should end with a level tone. Violating this rule will result in a messy ending.
[Six Isolated Ping Tones]: Isolated Ping Tones refer to the situation in a Ping-footed sentence (lower couplet) where, except for the last word which is a Ping rhyme, the others are Ze rhymes. This is called an isolated Ping tone. An isolated Ze rhyme in the upper couplet is also unacceptable.
[Seventh, remember the three level endings]: Three level endings and three unlevel endings are the big taboos in couplets, which are easily overlooked when writing couplets. No matter how many words there are in the couplet, as long as the end contains three unlevel or three level endings, it is a taboo in couplets.
[Eighth Taboo: Heavy Top and Light Bottom]: We know that a couplet consists of two parts, upper and lower. If the upper part of the couplet is written with strong momentum (heavy) and the lower part is written with weak momentum (light), it will give people a feeling of a tiger's head but a snake's tail. This is called "heavy top and light bottom". Heavy top and light bottom is also one of the symptoms of couplets.
[Nine taboos for beginners to use allusions]: Using allusions in couplets will increase the appeal of the couplet and make it appear more elegant. But it would be bad if you use strange allusions and make people confused. You can't explain them to each person, right? Especially for beginners, it is necessary to understand the ins and outs of the allusions used, otherwise it will backfire and make a fool of oneself!

Winter Solstice solar term division——
The Pingqi method divides the winter solstice into three stages: "The first stage is when earthworms knot knots; the second stage is when the elk's horns shed; the third stage is when the springs begin to flow." Legend has it that earthworms are creatures that bend when they are yin and stretch when they are yang. Although the yang has grown at this time, the yin is still very strong, and the earthworms in the soil are still curled up. The elk and deer are in the same family, but have different yin and yang. The ancients believed that the horns of the elk grew backwards, so they were yin, but when yang is born at the winter solstice, the elk feels the yin gradually retreating and sheds their horns. Since the yang is born, the springs in the mountains can flow and be warm at this time.
