A bad one will make a big joke. What are the things to avoid when posting Spring Festival couplets?

Spring Festival couplets are a cultural form that depicts people's good wishes with neat, concise and exquisite words. Whenever the Spring Festival comes, every household will take down the old Spring Festival couplets and replace them with new ones, which means saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new. The roar of firecrackers, the old year has passed; The warm spring breeze ushered in the New Year, and people happily drank the newly brewed Tu Su wine. The rising sun sheds light on doors of each household, New peachwood charm is put up to replace the old. The new peach here refers to the Spring Festival couplets. Spring Festival couplets are usually written on red paper, and some ethnic minorities use white paper. Spring Festival couplets are divided into upper couplet, lower couplet and horizontal batch, and everyone will put a blessing on the door to show good luck. Sticking couplets on the gate, bright red colors create a festive atmosphere, which is also a major custom of the Spring Festival.

But Spring Festival couplets are not posted casually, and there are specific requirements for posting Spring Festival couplets. Everyone knows that Spring Festival couplets have upper and lower couplets. Generally speaking, when we paste Spring Festival couplets, the upper couplets should be pasted on the right and the lower couplets should be pasted on the left, that is, when you face the gate, the upper couplets are on your right hand side and the lower couplets are on your left hand side.

So how do you distinguish between up and down links? This is also learned. The last word in the first couplet of the correct Spring Festival couplets is the ending (three or four tones in Putonghua), and the second couplet is the ending (one or two tones in Putonghua). So when we watch Spring Festival couplets, we should look from right to left.

Sticking the word "fu" is also very particular. When we put the word "Fu" on the door, we should put the word "Fu" upside down to show that the blessing is "upside down" and a good wish for life.

So when posting Spring Festival couplets, you can't just post them. You must distinguish between upper and lower couplets, and then stick Spring Festival couplets according to the rule that the upper couplet is on the right and the lower couplet is on the left, so as not to make jokes.
