Can I post Spring Festival couplets on the afternoon of the 28th of the twelfth lunar month?

Post Spring Festival couplets on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month.

There are two folk proverbs: "Twenty-eight, decal" and "Twenty-nine, paste couplets upside down", which means that couplets are pasted on the 28th and 29th of the twelfth lunar month. However, because there are sometimes no 30 days in the twelfth lunar month, the 29th becomes the last day of this solar term, that is, the absolute day. People think that it is unlucky to post couplets on the absolute day, so they will choose to post couplets on the 28th.

In fact, it is not as terrible as folk rumors. It is just a name of a solar term, indicating that this solar term will end on this day, and the next day will be the beginning of a new solar term. This means the same as New Year's greetings, so couplets can be posted as usual on the 29th.

Pay attention to posting couplets and bless.

In traditional customs, it is better to pay attention to auspicious times when posting couplets during the Spring Festival, and it is better to stick couplets between 6 am and noon 12 am. When pasting couplets, you can't directly cover the new couplets on the old ones. You should tear up the old couplets, which means breaking bad luck, and then paste new ones, which means breaking the old ones and establishing new ones.

The word "fu" is something that must be posted during the New Year, indicating that the blessing has arrived, but not all the words "fu" can be posted backwards. The word "Fu" on the gate should be pasted correctly, the gate should be solemn and dignified, and the word "Fu" should be pasted to welcome the blessing. The word "fu" on the cupboard at home can be pasted upside down, indicating good luck. After entering the door, I went to every place in my home, and my home was full of good luck. There are also people who have experienced some things and hope for good luck in the coming year. They can also put the word "Fu" upside down on the door of the house.
