Sticking annual red refers to

"Year Red" refers to some festive decorations with red as the theme, including Spring Festival couplets, New Year pictures, blessings, window grilles and so on. Sticking New Year Red on the Spring Festival can not only create a festive atmosphere for the New Year, but also pin people's expectations for the New Year.

Post "Spring Festival couplets"

Spring Festival couplets, also known as couplets, are one of the small categories in the red classification of that year. They are usually made of red paper with neat and concise blessing words written on it to express wishes for the New Year. The earliest Spring Festival couplets were actually peach symbols (made of mahogany boards), so Wang Anshi's famous sentence "Thousands of households always change new peaches for old ones."

The ancient Spring Festival couplets were also called "seals". After the room is thoroughly cleaned, you should stick Spring Festival couplets at the door, which can keep evil spirits out of the door and symbolize evil spirits, good luck and happiness. Generally, when pasting Spring Festival couplets, the old ones must be removed before pasting new ones, and the new ones cannot be pasted directly on the old ones.
