Spring Festival is a traditional festival, and there are many traditional customs, such as posting Spring Festival couplets.
At the beginning of the new year, the first thing is to paste the door gods and couplets. On New Year's Eve, every household goes out to buy Spring Festival couplets, which decorate the doors inside and outside the house. Spring Festival couplets are also called door couplets, spring stickers, couplets, couplets and peach symbols. It depicts the background of the times and expresses good wishes with neat, dual, concise and exquisite words, which is a unique literary form in China. The real popularity of Spring Festival couplets began in the Ming Dynasty, which was related to Zhu Yuanzhang's advocacy. According to Chen Shanggu's Miscellaneous Notes on Yunta in the Qing Dynasty, one year when Zhu Yuanzhang was preparing for the New Year, he ordered every household to post a pair of Spring Festival couplets to celebrate.
At first, Spring Festival couplets were carved on mahogany boards, and later rewritten on paper. The color of mahogany is red, which means good luck and avoiding evil spirits, so most Spring Festival couplets are written in red paper. However, yellow paper is used for temples, and white, green and yellow are used for guards. The first year is white paper, the second year is green paper, the third year is yellow paper, and the fourth year is red paper after mourning. Because Manchu is still white, the Spring Festival couplets in the Qing court are all wrapped in white paper, with blue edges outside and red stripes inside. There are many customs in the Spring Festival, such as setting off firecrackers, sweeping dust, drawing New Year pictures and paying New Year greetings.
Sticking Spring Festival couplets is one of the customs of the Spring Festival, which can drive away evil spirits and bring a better tomorrow.
Composition 2: Customs of the Spring Festival
Why do we set off firecrackers and put up Spring Festival couplets during the Spring Festival?
It turns out that a long time ago, there was a monster named Nian who climbed ashore every New Year's Eve to eat innocent people. Therefore, whenever New Year's Eve comes, people run to other places to avoid the attack of' Nian'.
One year, an old man came to the village. An old woman saw that he was so pitiful, so she gave him some food and said, "Old man, go and hide somewhere else, or you will be eaten in the next year." The old man said, "As long as you let me stay here for one night, I will help you drive Nian away." In this way, the old woman left the old man behind.
In the evening, there was a roar in the distance. "ah! Ah! " The old woman said, "Old man, it's the end of the year. What should we do? " The old man said slowly, "Don't worry, look at me." As the old man spoke, he asked the old woman to cook. Then there was a scratching sound in the kitchen hall, which reached Nian's ears. Nian was a little scared. As soon as I turned around, I saw the fire in the kitchen hall and heard the laughter of the old man. I fled back to the mountains in fear. Only then did the old woman know that "Nian is afraid of noise, fire and red".
Since then, every household in China has set off firecrackers, pasted red paper and prepared food during the Spring Festival.
Sticking red paper is too monotonous. Some people just draw something on red paper and write some words. Slowly, everyone wrote all kinds of heartfelt wishes on red paper, wishing everyone peace and health, and gradually formed the present Spring Festival couplets.

We bought new Spring Festival couplets and fireworks. When I got home, I couldn't wait to tear off the old Spring Festival couplets and put them back on. I was about to hang them up when my mother stopped me. She said, "Look at it first!" I looked around and straightened up a little. My mother was so anxious that she shouted, "No, it's not like that." After that, she posted the Spring Festival couplets upside down, and I laughed: "Mom, you are confused. The Spring Festival couplets are posted backwards. " Mother said seriously: "Don't talk nonsense, the blessing is posted backwards, which means the blessing has arrived." I suddenly realized. In this way, the task of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new is completed.
My brother and I each lit a lighter with fireworks. Suddenly, there was a hiss and small sparks appeared on the fireworks. Then, fireworks crackled. Every 20 seconds, the color of fireworks will change. When the last color appeared, I couldn't help but sigh: "This is really fun!"
Dad picked up firecrackers and went outside. Obviously, he is going to set off firecrackers. At the designated discharge point, dad lit the ignition port with a lighter and threw it away. The firecrackers crackled. The flavor of nian is getting stronger and stronger.
What a wonderful new year!
Composition 4: Spring Festival custom-setting off firecrackers
The Spring Festival is an ancient traditional festival and the most important festival in a year. Therefore, the customs of the Spring Festival are also varied. According to legend, Nian animals are afraid of red, fire and noise, so people have the custom of setting off firecrackers.
On New Year's Eve, after dinner, my mother said to me, "Do you want to set off firecrackers? Do you want some firecrackers this time? " I readily promised that setting off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year was my most exciting thing. But letting me eat some by myself still scares me, because I dare not look at adults and always hide. However, I still got up the courage to say to myself, give it a try.
After finding a clearing to set off firecrackers, I walked over trembling with a lighter in my hand, lit a fire and lit the fuse. When I heard the popping sound, I started running, faster than the rabbit. Hearing the deafening firecrackers, I turned around and saw my fireworks soaring into the sky and turned into beautiful flowers, red, green and colorful, and I lived happily.
Setting off firecrackers is a custom that has been circulating for thousands of years. "Eliminating firecrackers in one year" contains cultural elements and festive colors, but in order to protect our environment, we should set off fewer firecrackers!
