The folk song says "twenty-eight, applique". This "flower" is the Spring Festival couplets. Spring Festival couplets must be posted during the Spring Festival. Mom bought Spring Festival couplets, and I am happily preparing to post them.
Speaking of it, Spring Festival couplets have a long history. Spring Festival couplets originated in Fu Tao. "History of Etiquette in the Later Han Dynasty" said: "Taofu is six inches long and three inches wide. There are two letters "Shen Tu" and "Lei Yu" on the mahogany board. On the first day of the first month, a peach symbol was made for the family, called immortal wood, which was feared by all ghosts. Therefore, the Qing Dynasty's Yanjing Times said: "Spring Festival couplets are also from Fu Tao. "
The earliest Spring Festival couplets in China were in 964 AD. Meng Changjun, the monarch in the last years of Shu, asked one of his bachelors to write a sentence on the mahogany board, then carved it from the middle and hung it on the door. This sentence is "When you come to Qing Yu in the New Year, the number of holidays is Changchun". In other words, the new year enjoys the legacy of the previous generation, and festive festivals indicate that spring will always be there.
Spring Festival couplets are divided into upper couplet, lower couplet and horizontal batch. The upper couplet and the lower couplet are attached to both sides of the door, and the horizontal batch is attached to the center above the door. Some doors have a master, the common master is Weichi Gong, and some put an upside-down "Fu" in the middle of the door, which is homophonic "Fu is here".
Spring Festival couplets contain joy, blessing and hope. "Firecrackers except the old year, plum blossoms report the new year", the old year has passed and the new year has arrived; "Five grains are abundant and fragrant, six animals are prosperous, and cattle and sheep are strong", which is the most real expectation of farmers; "Good weather will bring happiness to everyone, and peace and security will flourish everywhere." I wish our motherland peace and every household peace and happiness. "Business is booming all over the world, and financial resources are flourishing up to three rivers". Congratulations on making a fortune in the new year. "Celebrate the festive season with laughter, five blessings, He Xinchun", Happy Spring Festival and Happy New Year; "the Year of the Loong is beaming with joy, year of the snake leaps into the spring tide", "year of the snake is full of flowers in four seasons, and Yan Ying is full of crops", and the new year is year of the snake. The new year should be prosperous and smooth ... Every Spring Festival couplets is a happy mood and a beautiful yearning for people.
