Are couplets posted on the left or right?

The left and right order of pasting couplets is to paste couplets on the right hand side facing the gate and on the left hand side.

When pasting couplets, face the gate, paste couplets on the right hand side and paste couplets on the left hand side.

The distinction between the upper and lower couplet should be viewed from the perspective of leveling and artistic conception. The last word of the first couplet is a flat tone (three tones and four tones in modern Chinese), and the last word of the second couplet is a flat tone (one tone and two tones), such as a four-tone flat tone.

In terms of artistic conception, the artistic conception of the second couplet is generally deeper than that of the first couplet. For example, the rooster resigns the old year and the dog welcomes the new year. The artistic conception of welcoming the new year is more profound than resigning the old year.

The distinguishing method of association and association;

It is actually very easy to distinguish the upper and lower couplets. Just look at the last word of the two sentences in this couplet. If it's a vowel, it's a sentence, and naturally it's the upper part. If the word is flat, it is antithesis, that is, the second half.

In Putonghua, the first sound and the second sound are Yin Ping and Yang Ping respectively, which are collectively called Pingsheng. For example, the words "Ping" and "Sheng" are both flat, so if they appear at the end of couplets, they must be antithetical, that is, the next couplet.

In Putonghua, the words with the third and fourth tones are rising tone and falling tone, which are collectively called falling tone. For example, the words "beautiful" and "gorgeous" are divided into two levels, in which "beautiful" is a rising tone and "gorgeous" is a falling tone, which are collectively called falling tones. If these two words appear at the end of the couplet, they must be in the sentence, that is, the couplet.
