What day is it to put up couplets?

As the saying goes: "twenty-eight, paste flowers", there are some places in the ballad "twenty-nine, paste inverted You (that is, paste the Spring Festival couplets)," said, so the couplets are generally in the Lunar New Year on the twenty-eighth, twenty-ninth paste. There is also a saying that the Spring Festival is the morning of the New Year's Eve.

Chinese New Year couplets express people's good wishes for the new year, after posting the spring couplets but also fire cannons, said to drive away the New Year's beasts, bring good luck in the new year? Nowadays most people are not very conscientious, the time to paste the couplets more and more random, in fact, no matter when to paste the Spring Festival couplets are available, the meaning of good luck on the good.

Mythically, "Nian" is a ferocious beast, every last day of the month of Lunar New Year when it comes out to make waves.

Nian had two weaknesses: fear of the color red and fear of sound.

So people put red paper on doors and windows and set off firecrackers on the day the beast comes out to scare it away.

And then later on, there are couplets, window, fireworks, two kicks, 1000 ring 500 ring, bared flowers, drilling monkeys, wrestling guns, rowing guns, and so on.
