Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan bid farewell to the old year and ushered in a new year. Every year, everyone will be protected.

In this couplet, "Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan bids farewell to the old year and welcomes the new year" is the first couplet, and "Peace through the years" is the second.

In real life, we often need to distinguish between upper and lower couplets. When people face couplets, the upper couplet is on the right and the lower couplet is on the left. Pay attention to the relative rhythm of couplets, and judge the upper and lower couplets according to the flat sound of the last word. The upper flat tone and the lower flat tone are mainly for the sake of harmonious phonology and pleasing to the ear. Now I'll teach you several ways to make it easier for us to distinguish the upper and lower couplets.

1, divided equally by hue.

Couplets pay more attention to simplicity, which is the characteristic of couplets. Specifically, the last word of the first couplet is usually a hyphen, and the last word of the second couplet is usually a flat voice, otherwise it often feels awkward to read. For example, "Qian Shan laughs at spring" ("laughter" is a derogatory term) and "happiness is enjoyed by everyone in the world" ("happiness" is a flat voice).

2. According to causality.

"Cause" is the upper part and "effect" is the lower part. For example, "urban and rural wealth is in the right direction, policy is wise, and food and clothing are plentiful", because only the "cause" of "urban and rural wealth" will have the "fruit" of "food and clothing".

3. In chronological order.

That is, the first time is the upper part, and the last time is the lower part; Or do it first, and then do it second. For example, "the door welcomes the blessings of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the door embraces the east, west, north and south"; "The small courtyard is planted with flowers all year round, and the gate is decorated with colorful music, which is suitable for the whole family."

4. According to the site scope.

In terms of time, space and specific things, it is generally from big to small, such as "every year is good, the moon is full"; "A city is full of flowers and rain, and the courtyard is full of spring breeze." In terms of time, "year" is longer than "month"; According to space theory, "city" is bigger than "courtyard".
