Every New Year's Eve (or 29, or even earlier in some areas), every family goes out to buy Spring Festival couplets, and elegant ones also spread paper and splash ink to welcome the spring and decorate the doors inside and outside the house. Spring Festival couplets are also called door couplets, spring stickers, couplets, couplets and peach symbols.

Another source of Spring Festival couplets is spring stickers. The ancients posted the word "Yichun" more and more at the beginning of spring, and then it gradually developed into Spring Festival couplets, expressing the good wishes of the working people in China to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters and welcome good luck.

Folk proverbs have the function of avoiding evil spirits and taking refuge. This statement comes from the legend of "Nian Beast". It is said that Nian beast is afraid of being red, so every household sticks couplets to drive Nian beast away on New Year's Eve. Therefore, the custom of pasting couplets has been passed down to this day, expressing people's desire to avoid evil and take refuge.
