Traditional Hakka four-line short poetry is often used in weddings and celebrations, which must follow the specific rhythm. The sentences are antithesis and there are certain limitations for the rhyming sounds and rhyming words. For example, in the performance the guests Lai and Lan Shi-Ren say the four-line short poems at Liou Li-Jun’s wedding, which is used to bless the newly couple.Lai:The groom and bride are always happy,

The husband and the wife love each other always,

Have a newly born baby soon and with fames,

With fortune and offspring for a hundred million years.
