Spring Festival couplets, also known as "Spring Signs", "Door Pairs" and "Couplets", are unique literary forms in China. They depict beautiful images and express good wishes with neat and concise words. There is no limit to the number of couplets, but they must be equal. The two sides of couplets should correspond. Spring Festival couplets used to be a symbol of peach and an important symbol for China people to celebrate the Spring Festival.
When people paste couplets and blessings at the door, it means the official start of the Spring Festival. Yu Yafei's "Welcome the New Year" said: "The jubilation is red, and every household sticks Spring Festival couplets; Resign from the old and welcome the new, and the wheel always moves forward. "
Wang Anshi's "January Day" "firecrackers are one year old, and the spring breeze sends warmth into Tu Su. Thousands of families always change new peaches for old ones every day. "
Every Spring Festival, no matter in urban or rural areas, every household should take off beautiful red couplets and stick them on the doors to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, thus increasing the festive atmosphere. Traditional Spring Festival couplets are written with a brush, but now they are usually made by an external machine.
