Jining city management came to clean up couplets on the third day of New Year's Eve.

Cleaning couplets on the third day of Jining Urban Management: 20 17-02-04.

A few days ago, the urban management of Jining City, Shandong Province rectified the couplets and the word "Fu" on both sides of the street under its jurisdiction, which was difficult to understand during the festival. Some netizens questioned that the custom of pasting couplets, which lasted for thousands of years, was rudely stopped by urban management. Is the city management too much?

On June 365438+1October 3 1 day, a message about "No.6 Brigade of Jining Urban Management Law Enforcement Detachment of Shandong Province carried out couplet rectification activities" triggered discussion on the Internet.

According to the news, "posting couplets brings great security risks and visual pollution." While respecting traditional festivals, the urban management brigade "started a special rectification campaign on couplets posted in its jurisdiction from the third day of the first month, and * * * cleaned up more than 450 couplets, door stickers and blessings."

The news also said, "This rectification campaign has greatly maintained a civilized, clean and fresh urban environment." "It has been understood and supported by most businesses."

In this regard, netizen Guo Fawen said that the behavior of urban management "tearing couplets" is incredible. Can couplets be compared with street advertisements and graffiti?

The folk custom of New Year's couplets expresses people's good wishes to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters and welcome good luck. No matter in urban or rural areas, in order to increase the festive atmosphere, every household should choose a pair of red couplets and stick them on the door. Generally, don't tear it after pasting, let it fall off naturally.

The current urban construction will not wait until the couplets are slowly faded and damaged next year, but at least we should respect traditional folk customs and not forcibly dismantle the "blessing" of ordinary people. Even if it is torn off, it will be torn off after the fifteenth day of the first month or after the fifteenth day of the first month.

As far as folk taboos are concerned, it is unlucky and disrespectful to tear off couplets on new posts.

Guo said that mechanically formulating and implementing policies that do not conform to customs and public opinion will only cause public dissatisfaction. The tradition that lasted for thousands of years was rudely stopped, which brought estrangement and harm. In order to achieve the goal of "creating a civilized unit", no matter what the actual situation is, even if there are laws to follow, law enforcers will fall into a ridiculous situation. Instead of adding face to the city, they will slap themselves in the face.

Some netizens said, "Is the practice of some functional departments a bit ridiculous? How do the leaders of this department arrange their work? People-oriented, in line with public opinion, your work will follow the people's experience and public opinion! "

"This may be because the urban management completed the work in the holiday in advance in order not to affect the rest schedule, and took several times the salary of the holiday to complete the work to be done after the holiday in advance, which is quite cost-effective. It violates the cultural tradition of China and destroys people's holiday customs. This kind of work enthusiasm is really unacceptable! "

"Excuse me, when did posting couplets become illegal?" "It is no problem to occupy illegal stalls, and posting couplets with blessings also hinders urban management. I don't understand! " "In addition to the old man, there is also an old lady who sells vegetables and tears couplets. Would you please trouble the urban management brother to play some new tricks?"

In addition, many netizens said that even if they support urban sanitation, they will not tear up the couplets and blessings in the third grade. If so, what's the point of not considering people's livelihood?

The practice of Shandong Jining Urban Management Sixth Brigade is not a precedent. On 20 12, the urban management made such a thing and was attacked by the public and public opinion.

20 12, urban management law enforcement officers in Linwei District, Weinan City, Shaanxi Province began to clean up Spring Festival couplets on the eleventh day of the first month. Chai Shuming, director of Weinan Chuangwei Office, said that according to the national sanitary city standard, the Spring Festival couplets must be scribbled and must be removed after the fifteenth day of the first month.

New Year's Word "Couplet"

Celebrating the New Year and posting Spring Festival couplets are very traditional customs in China. During the Lunar New Year, thousands of families put red couplets on both sides of the gate, with black characters on the red background, which is steady and bright, adding a festive atmosphere to the festival, expressing people's respect for heaven, their hope for happiness and their expectation for a better future.

Couplets are concise, neat and harmonious. Combined with China's unique calligraphy art, they present an ancient, simple, magnificent and elegant artistic quality.

Couplets are independent chapters composed of two neat antitheses, and their basic characteristics are summarized as follows: the number of words is equal, and the number of words is equal; Similar parts of speech and syntax; Semantic relevance and linguistic potential equivalence.

The couplets in the Qin Dynasty, also known as "Fu Tao", are written with the words "Shen Tu", "Lei Yu" and Er Shen on the mahogany board, or the image of Er Shen is painted and hung on the door, which is intended to worship, pray, dispel evil spirits and drive away ghosts.

Meng Chang, a master of Shu in the Five Dynasties, neatly wrote "Qing Yu in the New Year and Changchun in the First Festival", which is the earliest couplet. With the passage of time, people gradually replaced red boards with paper, and the contents of couplets became more diverse.

Connotation is the essence of couplets. A good antithetical couplet, which expresses the will of things, promotes the good and suppresses the evil, embodies the author's thought, mind and morality, and is touching. Couplets are only a few dozen words, but they are condensed with rich philosophy of life. A good couplet often makes people feel at a loss, from which we can appreciate the philosophy and true meaning of life, not only make people understand the meaning of couplets, but also benefit from the stories of couplets, understand the right and wrong of good and evil, and choose good and follow.
