When posting Spring Festival couplets, many people will put the upper and lower couplets in the wrong place. The correct pasting method is: facing the gate or pilaster, paste the upper couplet on the right and the lower couplet on the left. The reason for posting this way is that in ancient times, people wrote from right to left, and so did couplets, which should be read from right to left.
The key to distinguish the upper and lower couplets lies in the last word of the couplet. According to the rhyme of couplets, the last word of couplets must be the end of the word, that is, the three tones and four tones of Putonghua; The bottom couplet must end in a flat tone, which is one or two tones of Mandarin.
Don't paste old couplets.
According to folklore, Spring Festival couplets are immortals in the sky. From the moment it was posted, the fairy came to this home. When the Spring Festival couplets were torn, the immortals completed their merits and went back to heaven to tell the Jade Emperor about their families.
Therefore, it is best not to paste new couplets on the old ones, but to tear up the old ones, so that old gods can soar and a new god can come. This also represents the new and the old, so it is best to post Spring Festival couplets at dawn, that is, between 7 am and 9 am.
