Generally speaking, there are two direct links and one transverse link. If the last word of the direct couplet is Pingsheng (the third and fourth sounds in the national phonetic alphabet), it is the upper couplet, and Pingsheng (the first and second sounds in the phonetic alphabet) is the lower couplet. Remember, it is pasted from the right side facing the door to the left side. If the tone of the last word in the upper and lower couplets is the same, we should distinguish it according to its meaning.
Don't just stick a "spring" on the door.
In ancient times, only places with good timbre, such as Yihong Courtyard, would put the word "Spring" on the door. Therefore, it is also recommended not to post "spring" at home, so as not to attract rotten peach blossoms. Instead, you can post "Fu".
Spring Festival couplets are not pasted upside down at the door.
Because "Tao" and "Tao" are synonymous in ancient etiquette, the meanings of Spring Festival couplets and "wealth" and "happiness" are reversed, but the door is a space for access. If the Spring Festival couplets are posted upside down, it will mean pouring all the blessings and money. Therefore, it is suggested to use inversion technology in windows, rice cookers and other places.
It's lucky to post Spring Festival couplets and odd numbers.
As we all know, red envelopes are lucky only if they are even, while Spring Festival couplets are just the opposite. People think that odd numbers 1, 3 and 5 are positive, and even numbers 2, 4 and 6 are negative. So when posting Spring Festival couplets at the door, remember to post odd numbers symbolizing good luck. If you accidentally post an even number, it may be easy to attract yin. However, the Spring Festival couplets at home are not subject to this restriction.
5. The best time to post Spring Festival couplets.
From the 23rd (north) or 24th (south) of the twelfth lunar month, we should do a general cleaning when we have time. It is best to start posting Spring Festival couplets after cleaning. The best time to post Spring Festival couplets is "6: 00 am to noon on New Year's Eve 12", because Yang is most active during this time.
6. Old Spring Festival couplets should be torn up.
For convenience, some people stick Spring Festival couplets on old ones. They want to say, I wish I couldn't see them. In fact, they had to tear them off, tear them off and stick them on. Only in this way can they truly symbolize the farewell of the old and the welcome of the new year and bring good luck to the new year.
7. Avoid using unlucky words.
With the progress of the times, many modern styles have gradually appeared in Spring Festival couplets. However, while giving full play to your creativity, you must remember to avoid using unlucky words such as extinction, fainting, death and death. It is best not to have homophones with bad meanings.
8. Spring Festival couplets are not allowed at funerals.
If the funeral is held at home for less than a year, don't put up Spring Festival couplets on the first day of New Year's Day, lest it look like a celebration.
