How should the couplets be posted?

1, the posting of couplets should be in accordance with the traditional rules, couplets should be posted vertically.

2, the upper couplet should be posted on the right hand side (i.e., the left side of the door), the lower couplet should be posted on the left hand side (i.e., the right side of the door), and the cross-comment is also read from right to left.

3, the upper and lower couplets can not be posted in reverse.

For example, the phrase "Spring returns to the earth and all flowers compete for splendor, the sun warms God's state and all things shine" cannot be pasted as "The sun warms God's state and all things shine, the spring returns to the earth and all flowers compete for splendor";

From the viewpoint of the content, the first couplet and the second couplet have a cause-and-effect relationship, because The first and second lines have a cause and effect relationship, because "spring returns to the earth, all flowers compete for color", which makes "the sun warms the state, all things are bright", if you paste the opposite, it reverses the cause and effect relationship, and also makes people read awkwardly.

Matters of attention. p>Notes.

(1) There is something to be said for the word fortune.

The lucky character on the main door must be positively affixed. Fukuji on the door has "welcome blessings" and "Nafu" meaning, and the door is the entrance and exit of the family, should be solemn and respectful, so it should be posted. The word "blessing" should be pasted upside down on the box and cabinet, which means that the blessing will always come to the home, the house and the cabinet.

(2) Spring characters are posted cautiously.

The doorway of the home must not stick the word "spring" alone, because in ancient times the word "spring" was posted in the fireworks.
