Spring Festival couplets pasting method

1. Regular paste method: Before liberation, China's writing habit was to write vertically, from right to left. So paste the Spring Festival couplets, the first pair on the right faces the gate, and the second pair on the left. In this way, the horizontal batch must be written from right to left;

2. Emerging paste method: But now there is a popular paste method: it depends on the horizontal batch to decide how to paste. Horizontal batch is read from left to right, then the upper part is on the left and the lower part is on the right; If the horizontal batch is read from right to left, the upper half is on the right and the lower half is on the left.

In addition to saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, it is to tear up the couplets of the past. Many families still posted Spring Festival couplets last year. It's wrong not to tear the old ones when pasting new ones, but to directly overlap the old ones.

Because the Spring Festival couplets in the past have been torn up, there is a saying that the Spring Festival couplets have been guarded for a year and have been decomposed through sun and rain. Bad luck or events should disappear with time. Therefore, overlapping is not allowed. It is necessary to tear up couplets and paste new Spring Festival couplets, which means breaking bad luck and welcoming the new year.
