When is the date of the couplet?

The best time to post couplets is the afternoon of the 29th of the twelfth lunar month and the morning of New Year's Eve.

Posting Spring Festival couplets (13-15) on the afternoon of the 29th of the twelfth lunar month means good luck in the coming year. Posting Spring Festival couplets on the morning of New Year's Eve (6: 00- 12: 00) means that all good things will happen this year.

Generally speaking, the horizontal batch will be posted on the side where you start reading. However, in ancient China, people used to write and read books from right to left, so horizontal criticism also read from right to left. In addition, you can also use the following methods to distinguish between up and down links. From the content point of view: the upper part and the lower part usually have a causal, progressive or sequential relationship. Read the couplets carefully before posting, and understand the contents of the couplets.
