The origin of posting Spring Festival couplets
It is said that the custom of posting Spring Festival couplets began about 1 years ago in the post-Shu period, which is proved by history.
In addition, according to the records in the Jade Candle Collection, The Story of Yanjing's Years Old, the original form of Spring Festival couplets is what people call "Taofu".
In ancient China mythology, it is said that there is a ghost world, in which there is a mountain, a big peach tree covering 3, miles, and a golden rooster on the top of the tree. Whenever the golden rooster crows in the morning, ghosts who wander at night will rush back to the ghost domain. The gate of the ghost domain is located in the northeast of the peach tree, and there are two gods standing by the door, named Shencha and Yulei. If the ghost does something unnatural at night, Shencha and Yulei will immediately find it and catch it, tie it up with a rope made of awn reed and send it to the tiger. Therefore, ghosts all over the world are afraid of tea and stagnation. So the people carved them into peach wood and put them at their doorsteps to ward off evil spirits and prevent harm. Later, people simply carved the names of Shencha and Yulei on the mahogany board, thinking that doing so could also eliminate evil. This kind of mahogany board was later called "Taofu".
in the song dynasty, people began to write couplets on the mahogany board, one of which did not lose the meaning of killing evil spirits, the other expressed their good wishes, and the third decorated the portal for beauty. They also write couplets on red paper symbolizing happiness and good luck, and stick them on both sides of doors and windows during the Spring Festival to express people's good wishes for good luck in the coming year.
The earliest Spring Festival couplets in the world, "Three Yang began to spread, and four sequences began to open", were recorded on the Dunhuang suicide note unearthed in the Tibetan Sutra Cave in Mogao Grottoes, written by Liu Qiuzi of the Tang Dynasty in the 11th year of Kaiyuan (723).
