The moon is full in the sky and half on earth.

Tonight is the end of the year, the year of the Ming Dynasty, year after year.

There is a full moon in the sky, a half moon on the ground, and a half moon every month;

Tonight is the end of a year, tomorrow is a year, and year after year is the end of a year.

—— Written by Jin Shengtan

Note (1) There is a full moon in the sky and a half moon on earth: the fifteenth day of each month in the lunar calendar is called a half moon, which coincides with the last contact with the moon in the sky and is called a "full moon" in calendar. (2) Year-end: year-end, the last day of every year1February. Shi: "The beginning of the new year is the end of the old year. Tomorrow is Thursday and today is Wednesday." (3) Jin Shengtan (1608- 166 1): If the name is adopted, it will be renamed Ren Rui after the Ming Dynasty. First, Zhang, a native of Wuxian (now Jiangsu), was a literary critic in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. Few talented people are famous and like to approve books. Li Sao, Zhuangzi, Historical Records, Du Fu's Poems, Outlaws of the Marsh and The West Chamber are collectively called "Books of Six Talents", and the latter two have been supplemented. He can also write poems, including Selected Poems of Silou. He is also good at couplets. It is said that this couplet was written after months of hard thinking. It is said that on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, Jin Shengtan enjoyed the wine and the moon, and suddenly his heart moved, and he came to the first part of "Full Moon in the sky, Half Moon on the ground, Full Moon on the moon", but after a long struggle, he still failed to make the second part. It was not until New Year's Eve a few months later that someone asked him about dating. It suddenly occurred to him that tonight is the end of the year and tomorrow should be the beginning of the year. He got inspiration from it and finally made the bottom line.

Appreciation Skills Funny Couplet (also known as Clever Couplet) is a kind of literary and intellectual game couplet which is good at rhetorical skills and mainly humorous. This couplet is a clever and interesting one. It takes natural phenomena, daily life and calendar knowledge as the theme, skillfully uses various rhetorical devices, and shows the author's skill and wisdom in controlling words. Although there is nothing positive in the ideological content, its couplet skills are refreshing. The first couplet says that the first month of the lunar calendar (15) is the day when the moon touches the sky for the last time, month after month, month after month. The second part says that after the end of each year, it is a new year, and this year has been going on. These natural phenomena and social common sense are organized together in the form of couplets, which tell a natural law that is independent of human will and has a special taste.

As a funny skill association, this association uses a variety of rhetorical devices and works hard on words, which is quite distinctive. Full couplet is a common form of fan couplet in long couplet. The upper and lower parts are neat and uniform, and generally coordinated. The upper couplet is flat and the lower couplet is flat, which meets the requirements of strict couplets. The most prominent feature of this association is the use of compound words, overlapping words and variants, which are ingenious and interesting. The "full moon" and "half moon" in the first pair of couplets, and the "end of the year" and "year" in the second pair of couplets are all compound word pairs, and the rhetorical devices of repetition (isolation and repetition) are used to emphasize the tone and enhance the momentum of couplets. The Federation also adopted the method of overlapping words to change products: the first two "months" in the first full moon meets half moon, and the first two "years" in the second year after year are all overlapping words. "Month, month, month, year" is transliteration, that is, using the polysyllabic or polysemous characteristics of Chinese characters, the part of speech of the same word is changed through escape or transliteration. The first two "months" and "years" among the "months, months and months" in this couplet are quantitative relations, indicating each month and year, while the third "months" and "years" are nouns, indicating the months and years in the calendar, which changes the part of speech through escape, thus making the whole couplet unique.
