Precautions for posting couplets:
First of all, we must distinguish between the upper and lower links. For regular couplets, just look at the last word of each couplet. The suffix "Ping" (one or two tones) is the bottom line, and the suffix "CuO" (three or four tones) is the bottom line. Secondly, couplets follow the ancient way of writing, so when they are posted, they are posted face up. Left side down, bottom attached. ?
Finally, pay attention to the meaning of words and phrases, and stick them in the right place. For people in the city, there are not so many houses, and generally only one or two couplets are posted, so there will be no problem.
The ancients called Zha to study the content and form of Spring Festival couplets. Because the format of the Spring Festival couplets originated from China's classical poems, the original Spring Festival couplets required that the words that were neat and inconsistent should be equal, that is, every word of the upper and lower couplets should be balanced in tone, and then written in calligraphy with well-organized skills. Therefore, the ancient literati regarded the Spring Festival couplets as a profound and elegant artistic creation.
Time for posting couplets:
Two common Spring Festival couplets are posted on the afternoon of the 29th lunar month (13 to 15). Sticking Spring Festival couplets at this time, tearing up the old ones, means good luck in the coming year, and every year between 6 am on New Year's Eve and noon on 12, the old Spring Festival couplets will be torn up, thrown away or pasted directly, and all good things will happen this year.
Generally, Beijingers have posted it since the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. They can eat jiaozi on New Year's Eve, but they can't post it on the first day of the lunar new year. Old Beijing pays attention to it. Spring Festival couplets can't be removed after the Spring Festival. The more firmly they are pasted, the better they will be kept for one year. When you put up Spring Festival couplets before the Spring Festival next year, you should put them on the old ones.
