First, take a couplet paper and fold it in half. This is to make it the same width when folded on both sides to avoid different sizes. Then, fold the paper in half from top to bottom and fold it into a two-word grid. Then fold it up and down to form a four-character grid, fold it up and down once to form a eight-character grid, and then fold the paper folded into eight squares diagonally on both sides without opening it.
The folded paper is opened to form seven rhombic lattices, leaving a little space above and below. When writing couplets, write the words in a rhombic lattice, with the horizontal line in the middle of the rhombic lattice as the center line, which is exactly 7 equal parts.
