The Spring Festival is coming. What is the significance of posting Spring Festival couplets in rural areas?

1, avoid putting the word "spring" on the gate.

When posting Spring Festival couplets, you can post the word "Fu" on the gate, but never the word "Spring"! In fact, the reason is very simple. The meaning of "spring" is too rich. Selling spring and buying spring are obscure words.

2, taboo to post left and right couplets.

When pasting couplets, the upper couplet is pasted on the right, the lower couplet is pasted on the left, and the left and right are bounded by the gate or pilaster. The reason for posting this way is that the straight writing is from right to left, so reading couplets is also from right to left.

3. Avoid posting couplets at the wrong time

It is best to tear up couplets at 6 am on New Year's Eve to 12 am.

4. Avoid posting blessings upside down.

Not all places can be pasted upside down, such as wine steel, water tanks and the doors of public places. If you post it backwards, it means good luck and bad luck.

5. Avoid repeating Chinese characters in couplets.

It is best not to repeat the words of the upper and lower couplet. For example, if there is the word "Fu" in the upper part, it will not be found in the lower part. However, some clever couplets can have the repeated words of the upper and lower couplets. Generally speaking, it depends on the level! Of course, even if it is a clever couplet, the repeated words in the upper and lower couplets cannot be in the same position, that is, the upper couplet appears in the second word, and the lower couplet may be the fourth word.
