Couplets are developed on the basis of ancient "Fu Tao" and "antithesis". The earliest Spring Festival couplets in China appeared more than 1000 years ago. According to historical records, on the eve of the Spring Festival in the twenty-seventh year of the post-Shu Dynasty (AD 964), Meng Chang, the master of the post-Shu State, was good at learning couplets on weekdays, so when the new year came, he suddenly made a decree to ask ministers to write couplets on the "Fu Tao Board" to test his talents.

As a custom, couplets are an important part of China traditional culture. In 2005, the custom of couplets was listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage in the State Council, China. The custom of couplets is passed down and spread in Chinese-speaking areas and ethnic groups with cultural origins of Chinese characters, which is of great value for promoting Chinese culture.
