The Spring Festival is coming! Is there a particular time to tear up the old Spring Festival couplets? Decipher the Spring Festival couplets to tear up the secrets of time
Tomorrow, December 29th, you need to pay attention to the timing of the Spring Festival, many people have not realized it, the answer has come!
When the Spring Festival arrives, almost every household has to paste couplets and paste new festive couplets to make the home look warm and lively and welcome the atmosphere of the New Year. But before pasting the couplet, the old couplet should also be removed, and this practice also has the implication of alternating the old with the new. As the smell of the year grows stronger, and the time for pasting couplets is getting closer, in this case, we need to understand the problems related to pasting couplets, and which old couplets should be destroyed.
First, when were the old couplets destroyed?
The vast majority of families have set a time to post couplets before the Chinese New Year's Eve, looking forward to the moment of pasting couplets, but they will also face a problem before pasting couplets, that is, how to deal with old couplets? In fact, there is a saying that after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the old Spring Festival couplets will be taken out. Because the Spring Festival couplets are unique to the Spring Festival, they have to be torn off as soon as the Spring Festival passes.
There is also a saying that after the Spring Festival, there is no need to uproot the couplet, but to put the couplet outside in the wind and rain, and wait until the next Spring Festival to paste a new couplet and then uproot it. However, it is important to note that whenever a couplet is uprooted, it should not be thrown into the trash as garbage. After all, couplets have always been auspicious symbols that can be burned separately. That's the right thing to do.
Secondly, what are the precautions when applying labels?
1) Pay attention to the time of publication of the couplet.
Pay attention to the time of pasting couplets. Generally speaking, it can be posted before the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, but it must be posted before the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve. As long as you have time to post couplets, you can arrange them according to your own time. However, older generations recommend sticking couplets between 6 a.m. and 12 p.m. on New Year's Eve or Chinese New Year's Eve. Because the yang energy rises at this time, the new couplet also means that good things are happening.
2) Be careful not to reverse the upper and lower letters.
Since there is a difference between the upper and lower lines of the sign, it is necessary to pay attention to the upper and lower lines not to be reversed when assembling the sign. If you can't tell the difference, you can do it according to your tone. The upper link is usually the sound of the voice, that is, the third or fourth tone in pinyin, while the lower link is the flat tone, that is, the first or second tone in pinyin. After distinguishing the upper and lower links, it is necessary to follow the principle of left for the top and right for the bottom.
3) All sections must be displayed.
If you are going to put a label on the inside of the house, you should keep in mind that the label must be attached to every room and only on the door at the entrance. Because different rooms have different functions, the content of the stickers will also be different. However, some families don't mind this, even if the label on the door is repeated.
4) Debt collection is not possible after the spring rolls are issued.
In many areas, there is a custom of not going to other people's homes to collect debts during the Spring Festival. If you put a sign in your home, it means that you are ready to celebrate the holiday and can no longer go to other people's houses to collect debts. If you go to someone else's house to collect debts, it will be considered particularly unlucky.
