Do I need to put up couplets for the new house that I haven't moved into?

The new house has moved in, so we should put up couplets to show good luck. This has nothing to do with joining or not.

Sticking couplets is a traditional custom in China. At the beginning of the new year, the first thing is to paste the door gods and couplets. On New Year's Eve (or 29th), every household goes to the streets to buy Spring Festival couplets, and those who are interested also spread paper and splash ink in the spring to decorate the portal. It has pinned the good wishes of the working people in China to ward off evil spirits, avoid disasters and welcome happiness.

Couplets are divided into upper and lower couplets, and you can't stick them at will. Many people make mistakes every year. So how to post it is correct? There are two issues to be clarified here, one is to distinguish the upper and lower links, and the other is the position of the upper and lower links. A brief introduction is as follows:

The word at the end of the couplet should be "Xu", which is the "three tones" or "four tones" in modern Chinese. The sound of "Xu" gives the impression that the words have not been finished. The word at the end of the next couplet should be "Ping", which means "one" or "two" in modern Chinese. The sound of "ping" gives people the feeling that words are finished.

Whether you write your own couplets or buy Spring Festival couplets, don't paste them in the wrong place.

Ancient couplets were written from right to left, so the first couplet was on the right side of the door. Now, because the writing habit is from left to right, some people stick the top couplet on the left side of the door.

Where should I put it? It depends on the writing of horizontal batch. If the horizontal batch is written from right to left, the upper part should be posted on the right, otherwise the upper part should be posted on the left. In addition, in addition to the requirements of antithesis, couplets should generally be flat, that is, the tone of the ending words in the upper part should rise and fall, and the tone of the ending words in the lower part should be flat.

I saw many couplets, some of which were written from right to left, but the couplets above were posted on the left, some were written from left to right, some were posted on the right, and some were not even.
