1, the number of lanterns hung at the door is symmetrical, so it is unlucky not to hang one alone, whether it is a wedding, a wedding or a birthday. Of course, this symmetry can be not only two, but also six or eight. And four can't be hung up, because the number four is unlucky.
2. Speaking of pairwise symmetry, besides the coordination of quantity, there is another important factor, namely height. Paired lanterns should not be one high and one low, and the distance is moderate. If they get too close, they will be too crowded. If it is too far away, it will be unnatural, even beyond the scope of symmetry, which is somewhat independent. This is also a very big taboo.
3. It is best to hang lanterns in the south, followed by the east and the west, and the taboo is the north. Generally, the south is the gate position, the east is the side door, the north is the back door, and the north belongs to the water. Although today's lanterns are not designed by internal combustion, their properties are similar, which will give people a certain impression of good luck.
