Couplet order

The order of couplets is introduced as follows:

1. First, distinguish the upper part from the lower part. To put it simply, the pronunciation of the last word in the upper half is rising tone (the third tone) or falling tone (the fourth tone), which is called "Nuo sound"; The pronunciation of the last word in the second couplet is Yin Ping (the first sound) or Yang Ping (the second sound), which is called "Pingsheng". ?

2. Traditional couplet method: the upper couplet is on the right and the lower couplet is on the left. The horizontal batch is posted in the middle of the door, and it must be written from right to left.

3. Modern couplet method: first, look at whether the horizontal batch is written from right to left or from left to right. These two kinds of writing are very common at present.

If the horizontal batch is written from right to left, the couplet should be posted on the right, and the next couplet should be posted on the left; If the horizontal batch is written from left to left, the couplet should be posted on the left and the next couplet should be posted on the right. ?

4. The principle of pasting couplets is that the same calligraphy work should follow a unified reading habit. In ancient China, the writing habit was to write from right to left, so the first part of the couplet should be posted on the right. But now many people write horizontal reviews from left to right, and the first part should be posted on the left accordingly, so as to be smooth.

5. It is suggested that the word "good luck" be written from right to left, with the couplets of "Four Seasons Evergreen" posted on the right and "Let a Hundred Flowers Bloom" posted on the left. So no one will question it.
