Couplets in China's traditional culture.

Couplets, also known as couplets, dual plays, door pairs, spring stickers, spring couplets, couplets and peach symbols, are a kind of dual literature and originated from peach symbols.

Sentences are concise and profound, clever antithesis, balanced and harmonious, and rich in connotation, which is a unique artistic form of Chinese. It embodies the unique life interest of our people and is deeply loved by all walks of life.

Couplets began in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and have a history of more than 1000 years.

Five Dynasties later, Meng Changjun, the master of Shu, wrote an inscription "Happy New Year and Happy Holidays. "Changchun" on the Fu Tao board of Sleeping Door can be said to be the earliest couplet in China.

China's couplets and the concept of "balance between Yin and Yang" are rooted in the profound culture of the Chinese nation.

The dualism of yin and yang is the basis of China's ancient world outlook. It is the way of thinking of ancient people in China to grasp things with the binary concept of Yin and Yang. This ubiquitous concept of yin and yang has penetrated into the subconscious of the Han people, thus becoming the collective unconscious of the nation.

There is also a saying that couplets originated in the Qin Dynasty and were called Fu Tao in ancient times. According to legend, the ancients put "peach branches" on the door to avoid ghosts.

Couplets originated from China's classical poems, which can be traced back to the antitheses in pre-Qin classics. The antithetical couplets in Shang and Zhou Dynasties and the antithetical couplets in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties laid the foundation for later generations.

After the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the structure of metrical poems and metrical fu has been perfected, and couplets have also developed from the antithesis of metrical poems and the antithesis of parallel prose.
