The original meaning of the word couplet should be: the character Shang is deformed and becomes the upper part of the character "shang", and "八目" is the traditional version of the character "贝" in the lower part of the character "shang" Character. Then "ten mouths of heart" form "thinking", and "eight eyes still" form "appreciation". This is Stephen Chow's nonsensical work in "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance", and it is not neat.
This couplet originally came from the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. After Lin Shaotang from Wuchuan, Guangdong became the top scholar in high school, he was arranged by Emperor Daoguang to serve in the Hanlin Academy.
Because he missed his parents, wife and children in his hometown, Lin Shaotang asked the emperor for leave to visit his relatives one morning after court. Unexpectedly, after the emperor received the memorial, he asked Lin Shaotang to show his first couplet before granting leave. Lin Shaotang was quick in writing and immediately wrote the second couplet. The emperor was delighted and granted a leave of absence for three years.
First couplet: The thoughts of ten people are thinking of their father, mother and wife.
Second line: I would like to say thank you, thank God, thank you.
