What is the importance of pasting Spring Festival couplets, and what are the taboos of pasting Sprin

1. The door coupling should be distinguished from the upper and lower couplets.

Generally, there are two direct couplets and one horizontal couplet. If the last word of a direct couplet is Pingsheng (the third and fourth tones in the national pinyin alphabet), then it is the upper couplet, and the Pingsheng (the first and second tones in the pinyin alphabet) is the lower couplet. Keep in mind that it is pasted from the right side facing the door to the left side.

If the tone of the last word of the upper and lower couplets is the same, they should be distinguished according to their meaning.

2. Don't just post a "spring" at the door

In ancient times, only places with good timbre, such as Ichihiro-in, would have "spring" pasted on the door. Therefore, it is also advisable not to stick "spring" in front of your house so as not to attract rotten peach blossoms. Instead, you can paste "Fu".

3. Spring Festival couplets are not pasted upside down at the door.

Since "to" and "pour" are the same name and synonym in ancient rituals, the Spring Festival couplets are pasted upside down with the meaning of "wealth" and "blessing", but the door is the space to enter and exit. If you paste the Spring Festival couplets upside down, it will have the meaning of pouring all your blessings and money. Therefore, it is advisable to use the inverted technique in places such as windows, rice cans, etc.

4. It is auspicious to paste couplets and odd numbers.

As we all know, red envelopes are only auspicious when they are even, while Spring Festival couplets are the opposite. People think that odd numbers and 5 are yang and even numbers and 6 are yin. Therefore, when pasting Spring Festival couplets at the door, remember to paste the odd numbers that symbolize auspiciousness.

If you accidentally paste an even number, it may be easy to attract yin. However, the couplets in the house are not subject to this restriction.

5. The best time to paste Spring Festival couplets.

Starting from the 23rd (north) or 24th (south) of the twelfth lunar month, you should clean when you have free time. It is best to start pasting the couplets after the cleaning. The best time to post Spring Festival is "Chinese New Year's Eve from 6 am to 12 noon", because during this time, yang energy is the most active.

6. The old couplets should be torn off.

Some people are greedy for convenience and stick the Spring Festival couplets on the old Spring Festival couplets. They wanted to say that if they couldn't see them, they would be fine. In fact, they had to rip them off, tear them off, and glue them on.

Only then can they truly symbolize the elimination of the old and the new and bring good luck to the new year.

7. Avoid using unlucky words.

With the progress of the times, many modern styles gradually appeared in the Spring Festival couplets. However, while unleashing our creativity, we must remember to avoid using inauspicious words such as "extinction," "convulsion," "death," and "death." It's best not to have homophones with bad meanings.

8. Spring Festival couplets are not allowed to be pasted at the funeral.

If the funeral is held at home for less than a year, do not post couplets on the New Year's so as not to look like a celebration.

The Spring Festival couplets should be pasted vertically, the upper one should be pasted on the right hand side (that is, the left side of the door), the lower one should be naturally pasted on the left hand side, and the horizontal batch should be pasted in the middle of the lintel. Nowadays, it is sometimes difficult for people to distinguish between the upper and lower links, which is naturally related to the lack of traditional culture. Generally speaking, if the tail word is three or four tones, it is the upper link, and if the tail word is one or two tones, it is the lower link.

But this is not absolute, and sometimes it needs to be judged according to the content of the Spring Festival couplets.

Spring couplets evolved from ancient peach charms. The original peach talisman was used to drive away ghosts, according to the "Book of Etiquette of the Later Han Dynasty" record: "On the first day of the first lunar month, the peach talisman was made, the name of the fairy wood, and the hundred ghosts were feared.

The peach charm is six inches long and three inches wide, and the people write the names of the great gods "Shen Tu" and "Yu Lei" on the peach wood board, and put them at the door of their own houses to suppress evil and eliminate evil. These peach planks are called peach charms. In the Five Dynasties period, the "peach charm" gradually evolved into Spring Festival couplets.

At present, there is a lot of confrontation between the upper and lower links. Generally speaking, the last word is the upper couplet, and the sound generally refers to three or four sounds, such as "New Year's Yuqing"; The last word is flat is the lower link, generally one or two tones, such as "Jiajie Changchun".

If the horizontal batch is written from right to left, the upper link should be pasted on the right, and the reverse upper line should be pasted on the left.

It is also possible to judge the upper and lower by leveling.

After the couplet, paste the upper link on the first side of the horizontal batch. For example, if the horizontal batch is "the wind and rain are smooth" (from left), the upper link should be pasted on the left; The horizontal batch is "Door Linfu Five" (from the right), and the upper link should be pasted on the right.

Paste the Spring Festival couplets on the door, remember to paste the spring couplets with a single number, the singular number symbolizes auspiciousness. Also, don't stick the word "spring" at the door of your home, you can paste blessings, fortune and treasures, etc.

At the same time as pasting the Spring Festival couplets, some people also like to paste the word "Fu", but the word "Fu" is not always pasted upside down.

1.The word blessing on the door must be pasted on the door of the word "blessing" and "blessing" meaning, and the door is the entrance and exit of the family, a solemn and respectful place, the word of blessing pasted, must be solemn, dignified and generous, so it should be pasted.

2.The word blessing on the cabinet should be pasted upside down The cabinet is a place to store items. The word "blessing" is pasted upside down to indicate that good fortune (and wealth) will always come to the home, the house, and the cupboard.

3.Special circumstances If there is an accident at home during the year, friends who want to transfer can paste the word blessing upside down.

Stick to the door god to pay attention to the two doors on the face of the character is opposite, and don't stick it upside down. The doors of the old-fashioned buildings are two doors that are open, and the door god is just pasted on one side, and the current housing is a single door, and the two door gods can only be pasted on the same door, and the position should be paid attention to when pasting.

In fact, you can choose to paste Spring Festival couplets according to local customs, some places start to paste Spring Festival couplets on the 28th of the lunar month, and some places will also paste Spring Festival couplets on the 29th of the lunar month.

However, there are also other places that paste Spring Festival couplets on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, because the twenty-third day of the lunar month is a small year of the lunar calendar, so the time for pasting Spring Festival couplets in each place will be different.

However, in general, the common time for posting Spring Festival couplets is the twenty-ninth and thirtieth days of the lunar month, as well as the first day of the Lunar New Year. Sticking Spring Festival couplets in these three time periods also means that spring is always there, and the year is prosperous and smooth.

Although the New Year pays attention to pasting Spring Festival couplets, there are some people who can't post Spring Festival couplets, such as the following.

First, as the saying goes, filial piety comes first, if in the old year, someone in the family died, no matter which elder, as long as someone in the family died, then before the completion of filial piety, it is not possible to paste the red couplets.

Nowadays, in order to save trouble, people basically do not paste Spring Festival couplets, but in ancient times, people basically needed to post other couplets during the period of filial piety.

For example, during the three-year period of filial piety, the first year should choose a couplet with white paper, the first year should be two days of green paper couplet, and the third year should be pasted with yellow paper couplet, and the red paper couplet can be resumed after the end of filial piety.

Second, we should also pay attention to the fact that there are upper and lower couplets when pasting the Spring Festival couplets, and we can't distinguish between the upper and lower couplets.

Generally speaking, the last word of Xia Ping's upper couplet should be used in the voice, that is, it should be used at the end of the third or fourth tone, and the last word in the lower couplet should be used in Pingsheng.

In this way, we can distinguish which is the upper and lower link, and after distinguishing the upper and lower links, we also need to distinguish how to paste the upper and lower links.

Because our doors are left and right, we want to know whether the upper link is posted on the left or right, then we have to see what the horizontal batch is. If the horizontal batch is written from left to right, it means that the left side is the upper line and the right side is the bottom line.

Third, the time to paste the Spring Festival couplets is generally after the first day of the new year, and they will not continue to post them, otherwise the meaning is not good, so many people will choose to paste the couplets before the first day of the new year.

And we can't easily tear it off after pasting the Spring Festival couplets, so as to ensure that we have a smooth and safe year.

1. First of all, the Spring Festival couplets must have upper couplets, lower couplets and horizontal batches, otherwise it is not a complete Spring Festival couplet.

2. Pay attention to the color of the couplet, the common one is red Yuqing, which represents joy, and white, yellow, purple, green and blue, etc., which represent sacrifice, so don't use it indiscriminately.

3. The general number of words in the Spring Festival couplets is mostly singular, and the singular number symbolizes auspiciousness.

4. According to customs, the upper link should be pasted on the top position, that is, the right hand direction when facing the door, and the lower link should be pasted on the lower position, that is, the left-hand direction when facing the door, the two couplets should be flush with their eyebrows, the symmetrical distance should be appropriate, and the horizontal batch should be in the middle of the two joints.

5. Choose the place to paste according to the content of the couplet, such as "the days increase the years, the people increase the longevity, the spring is full of Qianzhen open Lu Kun Fumanmen" should be pasted on the door of the elderly, and "the treasure land is prosperous for a thousand years, and everything is prosperous according to the family" should be pasted on the door of the home, and cannot be used in schools, hospitals and other places. If the meaning of the couplet does not match, it will be laughed at and generous.

Pay attention to the Spring Festival couplets.

1. Don't make mistakes in the upper and lower links.

Many people will paste the upper and lower couplets when pasting the Spring Festival couplets, and paste the lower couplets in the position of the upper couplet, and paste the upper and lower couplets in the position of the upper couplet, and the pants are sticking up and down the couplets backwards, it will be very difficult to read, and make people laugh, the most important thing is that this paste will produce an unlucky phenomenon, so we must correctly distinguish the upper and lower couplets, and paste their positions correctly.

2. Paste even numbers.

The Spring Festival couplets pasted on the door must be pasted with even numbers, not with odd numbers, because this can be more auspicious, but when pasting the Spring Festival couplets with a word of regret, you can't just paste a "spring" word, you can only paste the word "Fu", this is because the word "spring" was specially pasted at the door of the brothel in the previous era, and if we stick a "spring" word on the door alone, it will be very embarrassing.

3. Don't be too casual when pasting the word "Fu".

Nowadays, most people paste the word Fu upside down, but in fact not all the word Fu can be pasted upside down, for example, the word Fu posted at the gate, must be pasted, the door as an entrance and exit of a family, is a place that needs to be dignified, only the word Fu is posted to show its dignified. The word blessing in the cabinet and other places can be pasted upside down, indicating that the blessing has arrived, and happiness has arrived.

4. The time to paste the Spring Festival couplets should be selected.

Generally speaking, the best time to paste the Spring Festival is from six o'clock in the morning to five o'clock in the afternoon on Chinese New Year's Eve, and you must tear off the old Spring Festival before pasting the Spring Festival, and do not directly paste the New Year Union on it, which is unlucky.

5. Don't stick the door god backwards.

When sticking the door god, be sure to paste the two characters' faces opposite each other, don't paste them backwards. In the past, the doors of old-fashioned houses were equipped with side doors, and the door gods could just be pasted on the door and one on one door, while today's houses are all single doors, and only two door gods can be pasted on the same door, and the position should be paid attention to when pasting.

Steps to paste couplets:

1. Distinguish the upper and lower links.

From the ping, the last character of the upper link is the sound of the three tones and the fourth tone in modern Chinese, the last word of the lower link is the sound of the sound of the first and second tones, the oak search such as "year" is the sound of the voice, and the "new" is the sound of the voice.

2. Paste horizontal batches.

The ancients wrote in order from right to left, and now many horizontal critics no longer follow the past way of writing in the book, and there are also written from left to right. So, the main thing to look at is the cross-link. From the direction facing the gate:

If the cross-connection is from left to right. If it is regular, it should be written according to the ancient way! That is, write from right to left!

3. Up and down.

Determine the direction of the upper link according to the order of the horizontal batch, and then paste the upper and lower links. Now the spring couplets pasted on the door are generally called door couplets, and the spring couplets pasted on the inner door (two doors) are called heavy door couplets.

It's nothing to be particular about, just like it.

1. Taboo 1: Don't post the left and right links wrongly.

When posting Spring Festival couplets, there are often people who paste the upper and lower couplets in the wrong place. To distinguish the key to the upper and lower couplets is the last word, according to the rules of the law, the last word of Wu Yuyu's upper couplet must end with the sound of the word (three tones and four tones in Mandarin), and the bottom link must end with the flat sound word (one or two tones in Mandarin).

When pasting couplets, the upper couplet should be pasted on the right, the lower couplet should be pasted on the left, and the left and right should be divided by facing the gate or pilaster. The reason why it is posted like this is because the straight line is written from right to left, so the couplet is also read from right to left.

2. Taboo 2: The time to paste the Spring Festival couplets.

There is a myth and legend among the folk: the Spring Festival couplets are the gods in the sky, when the Spring Festival couplets are torn, they will ascend to the heavens, and go to the Jade Emperor to report the situation of every household, hoping that the gods can bring good luck to the folk families.

It is best to paste the Spring Festival Union between 6 am and 12 noon on Chinese New Year's Eve, tearing the old Spring Festival Lian, indicating bad luck and the meaning of removing the old cloth new.

3. Taboo 3: The singular number is auspicious.

Paste the Spring Festival couplets at the gate, remember to paste the odd number, the singular number symbolizes auspiciousness. Also, don't stick the word spring at the door, you can paste blessings, fortune and treasure, etc., because in ancient times, only Yihongyuan would stick the word spring at the door.

Fourth, taboo four: the word blessing can not be posted at will.

At the same time of pasting the Spring Festival couplets, some people also like to paste the word "Fu", but the word "Fu" is not always pasted upside down.
