The best font for writing Spring Festival couplets is regular script, running script or official script. Spring Festival couplets are a comprehensive art that pays attention to vision. When we write Spring Festival couplets, we should pay attention to the font.
This kind of couplet posted or hung in public cannot be explained at the same time. If the font is not selected properly, it will be difficult to distinguish weeds, which will inevitably affect most people's understanding of couplets, fail to achieve the expected results, and may also lead to ambiguity, misunderstanding and side effects due to random speculation.
Pay attention to the following points when writing Spring Festival couplets:

If traditional Chinese characters and variant Chinese characters are used, it will obviously make practical couplets inapplicable, which is not conducive to most people's understanding of couplets, to standardizing the promotion of Chinese characters throughout the country, and to the inheritance of contemporary youth couplet art. Of course, in the fields of calligraphy, seal cutting and other arts, copying the original ancient couplets is another matter.
