On the Making of Handmade Couplets in the Year of the Tiger

Our family writes Spring Festival couplets. When I was a child in the countryside, it was a great event to post and write Spring Festival couplets every Spring Festival. My uncle and grandfather have good handwriting. Every year, he writes his own Spring Festival couplets and gives them to our family.

I'd like to go to his house to watch him write Spring Festival couplets and watch him write them with thick ink. I fell in love with calligraphy since then.

The most impressive Spring Festival couplets are:

Tianzeng life, spring is full of kung fu.

Business is like spring, and financial resources are longer than water.

Auspicious spirits in Kyushu welcome the spring, and auspicious clouds in the four seas bring happiness.

Good spring brings many happy events.

As for cross-dressing, I only remember: Vientiane is updated and the grain is abundant.

Now I grow up, live in the city, and write my own Spring Festival couplets every year. Last year, I wrote a Spring Festival couplets: I live in a treasure house and my fortune is prosperous. The horizontal recognition is: get what you want.

I not only wrote it and posted it on my doorstep, but also recorded it as a video to share it today-the headline, but unexpectedly it became an explosion of more than 654.38+ million.

This year, I will continue to write Spring Festival couplets by myself and pass on this tradition.

It should be said that when the Spring Festival is coming, if there is no special reason at home, it can be said that every family sticks Spring Festival couplets. Sticking couplets is both a folk custom and a custom. According to the traditional view, Chinese New Year's couplets have the function of exorcising evil spirits. So, I have to post it. In the past, people lived in bungalows or mud houses with barns and courtyards. There are more than one pair of couplets for the New Year, but more than a dozen. I remember that couplets were all handwritten at that time. And someone has already posted couplets on the 28th or 9th.

Sticking couplets pay attention to "horizontal and vertical", that is to say, they should be straight. However, the living conditions were very poor at that time, and some houses were "tilted inside and outside", which made it difficult to meet the requirements, but they had to be posted at the door anyway. Even the doors of pigsty and henhouse should be affixed with the words "full of golden chickens" and "full of fat pigs"

Posting brand-new couplets indicates that the new year has begun again.
