The custom in beginning of spring is to paste Spring Festival couplets in black and white.

Tomorrow is February 4, 20 18, and the sun will reach 3 15? The annual beginning of spring solar term has arrived. In our country, beginning of spring has been regarded as the beginning of New Year's farming activities since ancient times, and people have always attached importance to it. In fact, overseas in South Korea, beginning of spring is also an important day for people to start a new year. On this day, Koreans have the custom of posting Spring Festival couplets. Let me introduce it to you.

China has a tradition of posting Spring Festival couplets, and South Korea also has Spring Festival couplets, but unlike our Spring Festival couplets, the custom of posting Spring Festival couplets is also very different.

In Korea, Spring Festival couplets are called the beginning of spring list, spring book, spring post and spring wish, sometimes called spring wish and spring post. Unlike China, South Korea posted spring posts in beginning of spring on the same day, and they must be posted according to the exact time in beginning of spring. It can be seen that people used to think that beginning of spring was the beginning of a year.

Due to the change of calendar, Koreans now say "Happy New Year" twice a year, once in the solar calendar, called "Xinzheng" and once in the Spring Festival, called "Lao Zheng". Most people also think that the first day of the lunar new year is the beginning of the lunar new year, and the zodiac is also changed on this day.

However, according to the four-pillar numerology in Korea, beginning of spring is a time of change in a year, and the zodiac changes at the time of beginning of spring on the same day, which may be that numerology retains more traditions of the past. The Spring Festival in South Korea is basically at the same time as the Spring Festival in China. Koreans will also post good wishes and auspicious words for the future on the gates and pillars during the Spring Festival, hoping to realize them.

As for the origin of Spring Festival couplets, it is recorded in Dong Nian, written by the late North Korean scholar Hong, that posting the fairy tale of Spring Festival couplets originated from "Dong Nian", which people think can ward off evil spirits and avoid filth. The earliest Spring Festival couplets on the Korean peninsula appeared in the Koryo period. At that time, Xu Jing, the ambassador of the Song Dynasty sent to Korea, recorded in the "Koryo Tujing" that there was a spring post at the gate of Jing Kai (now Kaesong) at that time, which was a seven-character quatrain: the snow mark was still in the clouds, and the feet of the sun rose at the Five Peaks Tower. The hundred kings said that he had lived for thousands of years, and his robes were shiny and shiny.

Unlike the Spring Festival couplets in China, which started from the folk, in South Korea, this custom is spread from top to bottom. It was first popular among royalty and ministers of civil and military affairs who were familiar with Chinese, and its representative was Xiang Yan's New Year's greetings. During the Korean period, Hanyang officials presented a five-character quatrain to the king in front of beginning of spring, and chose one of the good sentences to stick on the pillars of the palace. After that, two classes of noble houses began to post spring posts, which finally spread to the people.

Until Korean is popular today, spring posts are still written in Chinese characters. There is a proverb, "beginning of spring", which satirizes the store post and does something inappropriate, which was later extended to be inappropriate. Because businessmen used to have the lowest status, spring stickers are a popular custom in the upper class.

Korean spring posts include single sentences, couplets and couplets. Nowadays, the most common celebrations are in beginning of spring and Jianyang. Most people post these two sentences. However, some traditional big families pay more attention to the content of spring posts, and post different content in different positions.

First of all, we should go to the ancestral temple to inform our ancestors according to beginning of spring time. After that, "Good Luck Begins" will be posted at the gate, and "Kobe's Soul" will be posted at the middle gate. Oh, the ban is unknown or Shen Tu and Lei Yu will be posted in the column, people will increase day by day, and people will be blessed with happiness and prosperity. The warehouse will stick to the righteousness and hide it, and save it. But according to the custom, people don't post spring cards during mourning.
