Couplets Competition took place with great $\boldsymbol{\underline{\quad 1 \quad}}$ across China. Song Kejia, a college student,
not only scored the highest in the competition but also $\boldsymbol{\underline{\quad 2 \quad}}$ many people's attention.

house（客家围屋）in Guangdong. Touched by its long history, he $\boldsymbol{\underline{\quad 3 \quad}}$ the first line of a
couplet. Later, he told reporters, "I want to invite writing lovers to add the second line."

popular. Calls for works $\boldsymbol{\underline{\quad 4 \quad}}$ quickly through social media and cultural centres. The
competition finally got 12,475 works from across the country.
The judges（评委）looked through all works carefully. One of them said, "We must be
