Hi, welcome to watch this episode of Sinology
Couplets are the essence of Chinese culture
Su Dongpo once told Foyin a former part of the couplets "one two three four five six seven"
There is no eight here, he is jokingly calling Sua tortoise
Foyin said a second part of the couplets "filial respect, loyalty credibility politeness courtesy integrity",
There is no shame here, he is jokingly calling Su a shame
Su Dongpo’s sister also said to Foyin "Mian dui mian chi mian". The first mian refers to face, and the second refers to both face and noodles.
Foyin said "Xin lian xin tie xin" (xin stands for heart or love)
What good couplets do you know?
