When will the Spring Festival couplets be posted?

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

There is a folklore that Spring Festival couplets are immortals in the sky. When they are shredded and burned, they will go to heaven to report the people's situation to the Jade Emperor, hoping that the gods can bring good luck to the folk families. If you tear it early and burn it early, the fairy will report it. But before the Spring Festival, the Jade Emperor felt that there was something wrong with this family. If it's too late, it's too late for the gods to bless.

Therefore, it is best to tear Spring Festival couplets at 6: 00 a.m. 12 noon on New Year's Eve. After tearing, you can paste new couplets, which means removing the old cloth and making new ones.
