When is the best time to post couplets today?

The best time to post couplets is between 6 am and noon on New Year's Eve 12.

Every year on the 29th afternoon of the twelfth lunar month (13 to 15). This time, the Spring Festival couplets are posted, and the old ones are torn off, which means good luck in the coming year. Every year between 6 am on New Year's Eve and noon on 12, the old Spring Festival couplets are torn up and thrown away. All good things will happen this year.

Sticking couplets is stressful, and so is tearing them. Generally speaking, the time to tear up couplets should be at the end of the year, provided that the couplets are well preserved. However, it is ok to tear it if you want, mainly because of etiquette. Generally, we have to wait until the next year to put up a new one before removing the original one.

Especially before the fifteenth day of the first month, the future time will be damaged, even if it is, it will inevitably be attacked by wind and rain. Tearing up Spring Festival couplets means saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, which means that the old will not go and the new will not come.
