After the Japanese invasion, some people's families did not escape. People think that the dead at home can't put up red couplets. But it is unlucky to put up white couplets at the beginning of New Year's Eve. Later, they thought of a way to leave a piece of white on the red couplet. There aren't many couplets in China. But now, with the changes of the times, this point is no longer taken seriously. People who want to know can keep this unique custom of Putian. ) 。

Don't visit friends in the New Year.
