When do you post the blessing characters and couplets?

Posting blessings and couplets on the afternoon of the 29th lunar month or on the morning of New Year's Eve.

Post Spring Festival couplets on the afternoon of the 29th of the twelfth lunar month (13 to 15). This is a good time to post Spring Festival couplets and tear down old ones, which means that the coming year will be prosperous. Put up Spring Festival couplets between 6 am on New Year's Eve and noon on 12, and tear up the old ones, which means that all good things will happen this year.

You can post Spring Festival couplets after the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, but when to post them depends on your own time and other considerations. The time to post Spring Festival couplets is actually more symbolic of the Spring Festival couplets themselves, praying for happiness and well-being in the coming year. The word "Fu" on the gate needs to be pasted directly. The word "Fu" on the gate means to welcome and accept blessings. If you post it backwards, you will not respect people.

Don't post the Spring Festival couplets by mistake.

Spring Festival couplets are also called door couplets, spring stickers, couplets, Spring Festival couplets and peach symbols. They depict the background of the times and express good wishes with neat, dual, concise and exquisite words, which are unique literary forms in China. Every Spring Festival, no matter in urban or rural areas, every household should choose a pair of red Spring Festival couplets and stick them on the door to add festive atmosphere to the festival.

There are two couplets in the Spring Festival couplets. You can't misplace the couplets. The last word of each painting has the rhyme of flat, high, curved and entering tone. The correct paste method is: flat on the left, up, down and into the sound on the right. Among them, the distinguishing method of entering tone characters is to pronounce them in Minnan dialect, and the short and heavy ones are. Therefore, if the last words in the two pictures are both upper and lower sounds, you must pronounce them in Taiwanese to see if they enter the tone.

According to Mandarin, Yin (Ping) and Yang (Ping) are flat, and Qu (sound) and Qu (sound) are ambiguous. For example, "Spring breeze sends warmth to thousands of families, and flowers and trees are fragrant when it rains", and "warmth" is silent and "fragrance" is insipid, so "Spring breeze sends warmth to thousands of families" is the first part, and "flowers and trees are fragrant when it rains" is the second part.
