二○○四年全国高考统一命题的语文试卷和多个独立命题省份的语文试卷都出现了与楹联相关的试题,引来全国楹联界一片赞扬之声。高考是『指挥棒』,在高考试卷中出现楹联试题,的确足以令楹联界欢欣鼓舞。我以为,同样有着『指挥棒』作用的中考楹联命题一样应该引起楹联界和教育界 In 2004, the Chinese examination papers for the national college entrance examination unified proposition and the language papers for provinces with independent propositions all appeared related to the couplets, drawing the praise of the national reunification community. The college entrance examination is a “badminton”. The fact that the couplet test questions appear in the high test papers is indeed enough to rejoice and encourage the joint public sector. I think that the same test that has the effect of the baton should lead to the joint academic and educational community.
