How to paste couplets and how to divide them (the correct way to paste couplets)

Sticking couplets should conform to the traditional rules, and couplets should be stuck vertically. The first part should be posted on the right hand side (the left side of the door), the second part should be posted on the left hand side (the right side of the door), and the horizontal batch should also be read from right to left. Upper and lower couplets cannot be posted backwards.

For example, "Spring blossoms in full bloom, and China shines in full bloom on warm days" cannot be labeled as "China shines in full bloom on warm days and flowers bloom in spring". From the content point of view, there is a causal relationship between the first half and the second half, because "spring blossoms" make everything in China shine in warm days. If you post it backwards, it will reverse the causal relationship and make people feel awkward to read.

From the perspective of horizontal lines, we can judge the upper and lower couplets from the horizontal lines of the upper and lower sentences of couplets. The ending word "Yan" in this couplet is four tones, that is, four tones. The suffix "Hui" in the bottom couplet is a tone, that is, a flat tone. Generally speaking, if the suffix is three or four tones, it is the upper part, and if the suffix is one or two tones, it is the lower part.

But some couplets end with a flat tail and a lower tail. Don't think that all endings are superior endings. In this case, we should judge the upper and lower couplets from the contents of the Spring Festival couplets. This requires careful reading of couplets when posting, so as to truly understand the contents of couplets.

If necessary, you should also judge the up and down links according to the banner. Because there are two kinds of confrontation: Rightists and Rightists. In the example section, a detailed analysis will be made.

In addition, the size of couplets should be coordinated with their own portals. It is best to stick couplets with a width of 15 to 20 cm in front of residents' houses, and it is best to stick couplets with a width of 20 to 30 cm in front of merchants' shops, which is harmonious and generous. As for the gates of some tall buildings, if couplets are posted, the width of the couplets should not exceed 40 cm.

Extended data:

Couplets, one of the traditional cultures in China, also called couplets or couplets, are antithetical sentences written on paper, cloth or engraved on bamboo, wood and columns. The antithesis of couplets is neat and even, which is a unique artistic form of Chinese language. Couplets are the treasures of China traditional culture.
