Spring Festival couplets are an important part of China traditional culture. Every Spring Festival, every household will hang a couplet, which means a happy and smooth New Year. 2023 is the year of the Swiss dog.

Preparatory work/about to start work

First, we need to prepare some tools and materials:

1. Couplet paper: You can buy it in a bookstore or stationery store, or you can buy it online.

2. Brush: Choosing a good brush can make your couplets more beautiful.

3. Ink: Choosing a good ink can make your couplets clearer and more lasting.

4. copybook: If you are not a professional calligrapher, you can practice copybook first to improve your calligraphy.

Step 1: Write the contents of couplets.

Before writing couplets, we need to determine the content of couplets. The content of couplets should be related to the New Year, which can include blessings and auspicious words. For example, Spring Festival couplets 2023 can be written as "Swiss dogs welcome the spring, Fu Man gan Kun".

Step 2: Write couplets.

Before writing couplets, we need to cut them to the same size. Then, we can draw a sketch on the couplet paper with a pencil to determine the position and size of each word.

Then, we can write couplets with a brush. Before writing, we need to dip the brush in ink, and then gently squeeze out the excess ink with our fingers. Pay attention to the order and thickness of strokes when writing, so as to make the writing of couplets more beautiful.

Step 3: paste couplets.

After writing, you need to frame the couplets, which can make them more beautiful and lasting. There are many mounting methods, so you can choose the one you like.

The most common mounting method is to stick couplets on white backing paper with red couplets paper, and then fix them on the backing paper with gold thread. When fixing couplets, we need to pay attention to the position of couplets and the flatness of couplets paper to make the overall effect of couplets more beautiful.
