The origin of Spring Festival couplets:
Spring Festival couplets originated in Fu Tao (rectangular red boards were hung on both sides of the gate in the Zhou Dynasty). According to the Book of Rites, the peach symbol is six inches long and three inches wide, and the book on the mahogany board is "Shen Tu"? Lei Yu's name.
"On the first day of the first month, peaches are made into households, and immortals are famous, and ghosts are afraid of them." Therefore, in the Qing Dynasty, it was recorded in Yanjing Shi Sui Ji. "Spring Festival couplets, that is, Fu Tao also." During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, in the court, someone inscribed couplets on Taofu. "Song Shi Shu Jia" said: Who is the post-Shu master? Xin, a bachelor of Meng Changjun, inscribed a poem on the red board, "Because he is not working, he wrote a poem on the pretence:' Spring Festival, Changchun on the First Festival'", which is the first Spring Festival couplets in China.
However, different historical materials in the Song Dynasty have different opinions on this, and some say that it was written by Xin or Meng Zhe, the son of Meng Chang. ?
Until the Song Dynasty, Spring Festival couplets were still called "Fu Tao". There is a saying in Wang Anshi's poem that "thousands of households always exchange new peaches for old ones." In the Song Dynasty, the peach symbols were changed from red boards to paper, which were called "spring stickers" and "Spring Festival couplets". This custom originated in the Song Dynasty and was popular in the Ming Dynasty. By the Qing Dynasty, the ideological and artistic quality of Spring Festival couplets had been greatly improved.
