In addition, there are also some things to pay attention to when posting Spring Festival couplets

If you want everything to go well in the new year

First, let’s get familiar with the way to post Spring Festival couplets. Taboo!

Taboo 1: Don’t paste the wrong couplets on the left and right

When posting Spring Festival couplets,Some people often paste the upper and lower couplets in the wrong position. The key to distinguishing the upper and lower couplets lies in the last character. According to the metrical regulations, the last character of the upper couplet must end with a oblique character (the third and fourth tones in Mandarin), while the second line must end with a flat character (the first and second tones of Mandarin).

When affixing couplets, the upper couplet should be affixed to the right, the lower couplet should be affixed to the left, and the left and right should be separated by facing the door or pilaster. The reason why it is posted like this is because writing in a straight line is from right to left, so reading couplets is also from right to left.

Taboo 2: Time to post Spring Festival couplets

It is best to post Spring Festival couplets between 6 am and 12 noon on New Year’s Eve. Tear up the old Spring Festival couplets to break away bad luck. It means to remove the old and introduce the new.

Taboo 3: Odd numbers are auspicious

Post Spring Festival couplets on the door. Remember to post Spring Festival couplets with single numbers, as odd numbers symbolize good luck. Also, don\’t just put the word \”spring\” on the door of your home, you can also put it on the door to bring blessings, attract wealth, etc.

Taboo 4: Don’t stick the door god backwards

When sticking the door god, you should pay attention to the faces of the characters on the two doors facing each other, and don’t stick them backwards. The doors of old-fashioned buildings have two doors facing each other, and one doorkeeper is affixed to each side. However, modern houses all have a single door, and the two doorkeepers can only be affixed to the same door. When pasting, attention should be paid to the beautiful and generous position.
