The perfect combination of pearls and allusions
According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, due to people's lack of scientific knowledge, some natural disasters and phenomena of birth, illness and death were mistaken for ghosts and gods. Therefore, during the Spring Festival, peach trees, which are said to ward off evil spirits, were made into wooden strips more than one inch wide and seven or eight inches long, with auspicious words such as "eliminating disasters and reducing happiness" written on them and nailed on both sides of the gate. People call this kind of wood a peach charm. In the Five Dynasties, Meng Changjun, the monarch of the later Shu Dynasty.
During the Spring Festival in 964, Hanlin, a bachelor, was asked to write poems with peach symbols. He ordered a bachelor named Xin to write a poem for the peach symbol on his bedroom door. After newly writing this poem, Meng Changjun felt that it was not well written and was very dissatisfied. So he picked up a pen and wrote a poem himself: Happy New Year to Qing Yu; Festival number Changchun. These two poems are neat and neat, with clear meaning, end to end, forming the Spring Festival, which is very suitable for the atmosphere of the Spring Festival.
These two poems are written on two mahogany boards, one left and one right, and embedded in Meng Chang's bedroom door. Meng Chang wrote a couplet of Fu Tao's poems, which was recognized as the first Spring Festival couplets in China, and the Spring Festival couplets were officially born at this time. In 965, Houshu was destroyed by the Northern Song Dynasty. Meng Changjun surrendered to the Northern Song Dynasty, was named King of Qin, and died in the same year. However, the custom of Spring Festival couplets initiated by him has been circulating in China for more than 1000 years.
