People write the Spring Festival couplets with black or golden words on red paper. They put up a pair of lines on each side of the front door. Putting up couplets shows people’s happiness during the festival and wishes for a better life in the coming year. In a pair of the Spring Festival couplets, the first line and the second line have the same number of words, and their meanings match each other well. The horizontal scroll (横批) is a four-word phrase. It has the two lines’ meanings. Reading the Spring Festival couplets is interesting. Here is the way: First, look at the horizontal scroll. If the four words are from left to right, the first line will be on the left and the second line on the right. If opposite, we read them from right to left. The Spring Festival couplets started from taofu, some words on peach boards, in the Zhou dynasty. At that time, people thought that peach trees could stop bad things, so they put peach boards with words on the doors. This tradition lasted till the Tang dynasty.
