1, leveling point by word
Couplets pay more attention to simplicity, which is the characteristic of couplets. Specifically, the last word of the first couplet is usually a hyphen, and the last word of the second couplet is usually a flat voice, otherwise it will be awkward to read.
2, according to the left and right direction
When pasting couplets, the upper couplet is pasted on the right, the lower couplet is pasted on the left, and the left and right are bounded by the gate or pilaster. The reason for posting this way is that the straight writing is from right to left, so reading couplets is also from right to left.
Step 3: In chronological order
That is, the first time is the upper part, and the last time is the lower part. For example, "the door welcomes the blessings of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the door embraces the east, west, north and south."
4. According to language habits.
For example, "Happiness is like flowing water in the East China Sea, and longevity is younger than Nanshan".
5, according to the causal relationship
That is, "cause" is the upper part and "effect" is the lower part.
