Couplets are posted in rural areas. Some are red and some are white. What is the difference?

There are many customs in rural areas, and they will summarize certain philosophies of life based on their own life experiences. These are very meaningful things. At the same time, most rural people live a simple life, and they also hope to seek some blessings through some external factors. Rural people also pay attention to colors when posting couplets. Different colors represent different meanings. So what is the difference between red couplets and white couplets in rural areas? Let me tell you about it below.

First of all, the red couplets represent expectations for the new year and are also full of festive meaning. This is a form of blessing for the Chinese New Year by many rural people. When posting couplets, it is usually done by the head of the family. They usually post red couplets with a praying heart to express their greetings for the New Year and also to express good wishes for the family. In addition, red also represents a sense of joy, and I hope that through this beautiful festival, I can live happily every day, and I also hope that there will be a very good sign in the coming year.

Secondly, the white couplets also have their own meaning. We can observe the rural people around us. They may post some white couplets during the Chinese New Year. In fact, this represents the elderly who have been in the family for hundreds of years. They have passed away, this is our respect and remembrance of them. In ancient times, when an elder in the family passed away, the children should observe filial piety for three years. Nowadays, there is also a certain saying. In fact, posting white couplets also means to be filial to the elderly.

In short, posting white couplets or red couplets in rural areas is a kind of wish for a better future as well as respect and longing for the death of elders in the family. This is a symbol of good things, and it also represents that the lives of farmers are becoming more and more exciting. At the same time, they also live every day of their lives with a heart of faith.
