There is also a saying about posting Spring Festival couplets on New Year’s Eve between 6 a.m. and 12 noon.
In addition, some people start posting it after the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, and it can be posted until the New Year’s Eve before eating New Year’s Eve dumplings. They can no longer post it on the New Year’s Day.
Every year on the 29th afternoon of the twelfth lunar month (13:00 to 15:00). At this time, people put up Spring Festival couplets and tear off the old ones, which means that the coming year will be prosperous. Every year on New Year's Eve, between 6 a.m. and 12 noon, old Spring Festival couplets are torn up and thrown away. All good things will happen this year.
Be careful when pasting couplets, and the same is true when tearing them off. Generally speaking, the time to tear up the Spring Festival couplets should be at the end of the year, provided that the Spring Festival couplets are well preserved.
But you can tear it off if you want. It’s mainly a matter of etiquette. Usually the original one is removed when a new one is affixed next year.
According to the auspicious time to post the Spring Festival every day, just take it out first and then paste it. There is no more stress. If the New Year passes soon and it is damaged, you still need to find a way to repair it.
Especially before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. If there is any damage in the future, forget it, wind and rain are inevitable. The saying of tearing up Spring Festival couplets is to get rid of the old and welcome the new. If you don't tear down, you won't stand up. That is what we call the old will not go and the new will not come. Moreover, some couplets include the zodiac signs, so the zodiac signs change after the New Year. If last year's couplets were not well protected, the meaning would actually be very bad.
