The origin of pasting couplets

Every household in our country will post Spring Festival couplets every Spring Festival. The origin of Spring Festival couplets should also start from Fu Tao. According to ancient legend, there is a big peach tree, a tea tree and a couch in Er Shen in Dushuo Mountain in the East China Sea. When in trouble, they tied it up and fed it to the tiger. Later, during the Spring Festival, in order to exorcise ghosts, people painted these two gods on a mahogany board, which is the symbol of peach.

In the Five Dynasties, Meng Changjun, the master of Shu, wrote the couplets "Welcome the New Year and celebrate Changchun in the festive season" in calligraphy, which is generally considered as the earliest Spring Festival couplets. In the Song Dynasty, posting Spring Festival couplets has become a custom. Wang Anshi wrote in his poem: "Thousands of households always change new peaches for old ones." Writing Spring Festival couplets on red paper began in the Ming Dynasty.
