1. The elegiac couplet can be divided into upper and lower sentences, so we should pay attention to the content of the upper and lower sentences. The last sentence is to express the mourning for so-and-so, and the name of the deceased appears in the first part. The bottom couplet reflects the mourning expressed by the wreath presented by someone, and the name of the wreath giver appears in the bottom couplet. It is not good to write in the wrong order or paste in the wrong order.
2. Sticking method of the elegiac couplet on the wreath: facing the wreath, the upper couplet is on the right and the lower couplet is on the left. This is because the elegiac couplet has the meaning of upper and lower sentences, so it can't be pasted wrong.
3. Pay attention to the appellation. Appellation reflects the relationship between the deceased and giving a wreath. Therefore, the appellation must be correct and specific. Please refer to: China kinship appellation table. Of course, there is also the relationship between friends and teachers, etc., which can be called according to the response relationship.

5. The format of elegiac couplet. There are two kinds of appellations in the upper couplet: appellation (appellation refers to the relationship between ancestors and you) and mourning appellation.

The format of the next couplet is all addressing first: addressing (referring to the relationship between you and your ancestors) so-and-so holding, worshiping holding, weeping holding, nodding, worshiping holding and so on. Of course, under this basic format, it is possible to choose words appropriately, such as: Dear Comrade Lei Feng will live in our hearts forever, and a certain class in a certain primary school will be respected. It's good to express your feelings sincerely, but you should choose your words seriously.
6. Writing of elegiac couplets: The colors of elegiac couplets are generally black on a white background, and the fonts should be uniform. It is best to ensure that they are as neat as possible.

In writing habits, in order to show respect for the deceased, the writing of the lower couplet is sometimes one or two words lower than that of the upper couplet (note that it is one or two words lower when writing, not one or two words lower when pasting
