从前,有个药铺老板不仅喜欢对联而且擅制药联。他有个女儿,年轻貌美,喜诗爱画。为了给女儿选一位有才华又懂医道的好女婿,这位老板别出心裁地出药联择婿。出联选婿这天,应选青年纷至沓来,药铺前门庭若市。老板挂出的第一条上联是:“灯笼笼灯,纸(枳)壳原来只防风。”对联好像在写灯笼,其实内含两味中药:枳壳、防风。 Once upon a time, there was a drug shop owner who not only liked couplets but also made good use of the drugstore. He has a daughter, young and beautiful, hi poetry and love painting. In order to choose a daughter to be a talented and understand good medicine son-in-law, the boss ingenuity to drug-son-in-law. Out of the election-law day, should be elected after another young people, drug shop front courtroom. The first couplet that the boss hangs out is: “Lantern cage lamp, the paper (trifoliate orange) shell originally only windproof.” Couplet seems to be writing a lantern, in fact, contains two herbs: Citrus aurantium, windproof.
