Beautiful calligraphy pictures of couplets Spring Festival couplets have a long history. It is said that they originated from Meng Chang, the master of Shu after the Five Dynasties. His inscription on the peach symbol on the bedroom door panel:? New Year's Day in Qing Yu, Cargeno. Changchun? , refers to the text? Topic peach personality? (See "Shu Konglang"), which is the earliest couplet in China and the earliest Spring Festival couplets.

The historical origin of couplets is dual literature. The parallel symmetry of this language is different from the so-called philosophy? Tai Chi gives birth to two devices? . In other words, everything in the world is divided into two halves of yin and yang symmetry, and the essence of thinking is extremely similar. Therefore, we can say that the philosophical origin and deep-seated national cultural psychology of China's couplets are binary concepts of Yin and Yang. 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 idea of duality of yin and yang has a long history. The hexagrams in the Book of Changes are composed of Yin and Yang. I ching said:? One yin and one yang are called Tao. ? Lao Tzu also said:? Everything is negative and positive, and I rashly think it is peace. ? ("Lao Zi" Chapter 42. Xunzi thinks:? Heaven and earth create everything together, and Yin and Yang change together. ? ("Xunzi?" "Book of Rites" and "Huang Lao Silk Book" say:? The way of heaven and earth is left and right, yin and yang. ? This concept of Yin and Yang is not only an abstract concept, but also widely penetrated into the understanding and explanation of everything in nature and human society in ancient China.
