Feng Shui and the Word "God"

Sticking Spring Festival couplets, blessing characters and worshipping the door have a history of thousands of years in China, and many of them are exquisite. The first is the emphasis on the time period. Generally speaking, it is ok before sunset on New Year's Eve, but the best time is between 6 am and 12 am on New Year's Eve. Because people think that the sun is the most prosperous in this period, it also symbolizes that the new year will be prosperous!

On the other hand, what should the old Spring Festival couplets, blessings and door gods do? Generally speaking, it is best not to take off last year's Spring Festival couplets, blessings and door gods and directly cover them with new ones. It's best to tear these things off and replace them with new ones. It's best not to throw them directly on the side of the road to burn them or throw them into the trash can for disposal. Moreover, in rural areas, we all have the habit of not sweeping the floor easily during the New Year, and these torn things can be put directly in the yard.

On the other hand, if you are said to be the best god of wealth in business, such as lucky boy! If you work in a government unit and want a smoother career, you can post things like Harry, Bao Qingtian and Shen Fu. Of course, we usually post Duke Qin of Wei Chi and Joan of Arc, who are majestic figures with swords and halberds, because we usually think that these people can exorcise evil spirits and keep their families safe.

In addition, when pasting the word "Fu", some people usually like to paste the word "Fu" upside down, because it seems to have a certain meaning, indicating that they are blessed. Of course, there is no mandatory requirement, and we can also add the word "Fu" to it. This thing is all based on personal preference. But Spring Festival couplets are very particular. When posting Spring Festival couplets, you must pay attention to the left and right couplets, and don't post them wrong. If you are not sure about this, you can ask someone with higher education level at home or around you for help. But generally speaking, the last word of the lower couplet is flat, so we can judge the upper and lower couplet in this way.
