Spring couplets are said to have originated from peach charms. The original intention of the peach charm was to pray for peace. According to ancient records, during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, someone in the court inscribed couplets on peach charms.

When pasting spring couplets, people can paste the upper and lower couplets according to the way of writing in the horizontal batch.

Fan Wensan: Carry halva to pay New Year's greetings
My hometown is a small county town in the eastern part of Hubei Province, which does not have the prosperity of a big city, but it has a wealth of local specialties, especially our local Wuxue halva. Every Spring Festival, people will carry halva to their relatives' houses to pay New Year's greetings.
Speaking of Wuxue halva, there is also a beautiful folklore! According to legend, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a filial son surnamed Dong in Wuxue who depended on his mother for his life. One autumn, my mother suddenly had a cold and was bedridden. Because his family was poor and had no money to treat the disease and take medicine, this filial son was very anxious and wanted to alleviate his mother's condition. In desperation, he fried the sesame seeds grown in his own field, crushed them into powder, then shook the fresh osmanthus flowers in the yard, soaked them in sugarcane sugar water, mixed them with sesame seeds, and finally let his mother eat them. Unexpectedly, a miracle appeared, and after a few days of eating, my mother actually **. This filial son surnamed Dong passed on this recipe to the people around him, and after continuous improvement by generations of famous pastry chefs, he was named "halva". This beautiful legend has been handed down along with Wuxue halva, which is popular and well-known.
At first, it may have been the touching story that touched me, but then I developed a deep affection for it because of its sweet taste. When the end of the year is approaching, relatives will visit each other's doors, and they will bring a box of "Wuxue halva" as a gift, which is a custom unique to my hometown. After the guests left, we children could not wait to open the box, carefully pull out a halva from it, and before we could take a gentle bite, the rich aroma would spread. When you close your teeth, the sweet taste of halva reverberates on the tip of your tongue. Crunchy but not sticky to the teeth, fine sesame seeds scattered between the lips and teeth, crispy and numb feeling. After eating one, drink a cup of chrysanthemum tea, not to mention how comfortable and comfortable it is.
Today, Wuxue halva is famous everywhere, and I think it is not only related to its taste, but also related to the beautiful folklore behind it, and related to the good wishes of filial piety and gratitude.
