Extended data:

Couplets originate from the symbol of peach. It is a unique art form of China language, concise and profound, neat and even, with the same number of words and the same structure. Couplets are the treasures of China traditional culture, and the earliest recorded couplets appeared in the Three Kingdoms period.

During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty (1368- 1399), an extra-large iron cross was unearthed in Luling, Jiangxi Province (now Ji 'an City, Jiangxi Province), on which the year number of Sun Quan Chiwu in the Three Kingdoms period (238-250) was cast.

Spring Festival couplets are called Spring Festival couplets, funeral couplets are called elegiac couplets, and wedding couplets are called violet couplets. Couplets are a national style written by using the characteristics of Chinese characters, and generally do not need to rhyme (only the antitheses in the rhyme need to rhyme).

As a custom, couplets are an important part of China traditional culture. In 2005, the custom of couplets was listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage in the State Council, China. The custom of couplets is passed down and spread in Chinese-speaking areas and ethnic groups with cultural origins of Chinese characters, which is of great value for promoting Chinese culture.
