It is a national literary style written using the characteristics of Chinese characters. Its wonderful combination with calligraphy has become a colorful artistic creation of the Chinese nation.
The custom of couplets originated from the duality phenomenon in ancient Chinese. As early as before the Qin and Han Dynasties, Chinese folk had the custom of hanging peach charms during the New Year. The so-called peach charms are the names of the legendary ghost-conquering gods "Shen Cha" and "Yu Lei", written on two peach boards respectively and hung on the left and right doors to drive away ghosts and suppress evil spirits. This custom lasted for more than a thousand years.
