Celebrate A Coming New Year Spring Couplet Featured

The Spring Festival celebrates the Earth coming back to life and the beginning of plowing and planting. Because the Chinese use a lunar calendar, the date of the Spring Festival changes each year. It takes place at some time during the end of January or the beginning of February. In Chinese Calendar 2008 is Year of Rat and 6 Feb 08 is Chinese New Year Eve.

New Year Spring couplets are pasted on each side of the door and propitious words across the lintel at the top. In China, scholars would set up the tools and compose auspicious couplets for friends, relatives, and the publics.

A couplet is made up of two lines of verse which are called the "head" and "tail", which should correspond with each other phonologically and syntactically word for word and phrase for phrase. In the past time, children would be given this kind of test or practice.

Chinese people have a lot of different kinds of spring couplets. For businessmen, they will have special words for earning more money, and gain good reputation around the world. For usual families, they would get some for good fortune and luck.
