自序
本人自写诗作对以来，对中华古诗及对联小有心得。既然这本册子名为“十八斗”，那就从十八斗说起。十八首古体诗，十八对对联，是我开始吟诗做对十七年所写諸诗和对子的精华之作。“十八斗”还包括这十八首诗和十八个对联的英文翻译的，这个可以帮助你学习英文，也可以帮助说英文学生学习简体中文。
十八斗，喻为十八斗才。古人比喻有为才子说的，才高八斗，学富五车，本人虽没有读够整整五车书，但本人自喻有十八斗才。那就拿本书“十八斗”即可证明。我做诗很快很快，古人曹植做诗大家都知道他“七步成诗”,我不是七步能成，我是“五步成诗”，七步他慢走慢吟即能成，我五步慢吟也就能成，我和曹植走得一样慢，我还比他写的好，写得妙。做诗如做文，诗人们往往写诗如做文章一样妙，往往好诗一诗即能成文，不用什么铺垫，谋篇，往往也能出奇效。诗很能打动人心，是凭借着美感和华丽或是简洁，却又通顺的潜词造句而达到的。借观宋代，据说不管男人女人，小孩学士，人人皆能写诗。中国诗人很多啊，很多在政治上很有成就，不一定成将也能入相的。
我不想画蛇添足，“十八斗”诗和联都不需要做诗评，联评的。“十八斗”不管是诗或联，都很简洁明了，清新自然的，不累赘，少点学究学士气，多的却是人人即懂的中国古代宋明清民风，这是我一向的个人风格。这个当得起别人做评论的，不是我小气没工夫做诗评，短短几首小诗小联，一目了然的工夫，总也不用自吹自擂了。
好了，闲话不用多说，说多读者会觉得很腻味的。那就让大家开始欣赏阅读“十八斗”吧。
