When will the Spring Festival couplets be posted?

Generally speaking, it is best to post Spring Festival couplets between 6 am on New Year's Eve and noon on 12. Tear up the old Spring Festival couplets before pasting them, or you can't paste new ones, but there is a lot of stress in it.

There is a folk legend that Spring Festival couplets are immortals in the sky. When they are shredded and burned, they will go to heaven to report people's situation to the Jade Emperor, hoping that the gods can bring good luck to folk families. If it had been torn and burned earlier, the fairy would have reported it. But it's not the Spring Festival yet, and the Jade Emperor thinks there is something wrong with this family. If it is too late, the blessings of the gods will be too late.

Therefore, it is best to tear the Spring Festival couplets at 6 am on New Year's Eve to noon on 12. After tearing up, you can paste new couplets, which means to get rid of the old cloth and make new ones.
