They express wishes for the coming year.<sup>[1]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Form:<\/strong> Two vertical lines make the pair; a horizontal header often accompanies them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Meaning:<\/strong> The lines have matching Chinese character counts and related wording, rather than two unrelated greetings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reading:<\/strong> Read each strip from top to bottom, then the first line before the second. Physical left and right depend on the intended layout.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cUpper\u201d and \u201clower\u201d name the lines\u2019 order, not different mounting heights. Single-character signs and other red-paper wishes are separate forms of decoration.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<figure class=\"tcjdi-infographic\" style=\"width:500px;max-width:100%;margin:24px auto;text-align:center\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chinaculturepro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Chinese-New-Year-Couplets-guide-to-parts-reading-order-examples-and-origins.webp\" alt=\"Chinese New Year Couplets guide to parts reading order examples and origins\" title=\"Chinese New Year Couplets guide to parts reading order examples and origins\" width=\"1440\" height=\"2560\" style=\"width:500px;max-width:100%;height:auto;margin:0 auto\" \/><figcaption>Identify the parts, check the intended layout, and read complete couplet examples.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\">Two red strips and a short header can raise surprisingly practical questions: which sentence comes first, which side of the doorway does it belong on, and which way does the header read? This guide separates those decisions so that \u201cupper\u201d never becomes a confusing instruction about height.<\/p>\n<h2>What Are Chunlian and Their Three Parts?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Chunlian are a seasonal form of duilian (\u5bf9\u8054, du\u00ecli\u00e1n), the broader category of paired inscriptions. Their wording welcomes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinaculturepro.com\/chinese-new-year\/\">Chinese New Year<\/a>, but the literary form also serves other occasions. Red paper with black or gold lettering is familiar; the wish comes from the actual words, not the color alone.<sup>[3][5]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<div style=\"overflow-x:auto;max-width:100%;max-height:800px\"><table>\n<thead><tr><th>Part<\/th><th>Function<\/th><th>What to recognize<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>Shanglian (\u4e0a\u8054, sh\u00e0ngli\u00e1n)<\/td><td>The first line<\/td><td>Begins the paired statement; \u201cupper\u201d does not mean physically higher.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Xialian (\u4e0b\u8054, xi\u00e0li\u00e1n)<\/td><td>The second line<\/td><td>Responds to or completes the first line\u2019s meaning.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Hengpi (\u6a2a\u6279, h\u00e9ngp\u012b)<\/td><td>The horizontal header<\/td><td>Commonly four characters summarizing the theme; often included, but not essential to every pair.<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">The two lines normally match in Chinese character count and grammatical structure. Their ideas should connect, but they need not be literal opposites. English translations can have different word counts without affecting the original pairing.<sup>[3][5]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A lone Fu character (\u798f, f\u00fa), meaning blessing or good fortune, belongs among other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinaculturepro.com\/chinese-new-year-symbols\/\">Chinese New Year symbols<\/a>. It is not itself a two-line couplet.<\/p>\n<h2>Which Couplet Comes First?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Identify the first line before deciding which side it occupies. Use several clues together rather than treating the paper\u2019s current position as proof.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Check labels:<\/strong> If the original set identifies its first and second lines, start there. Preserve the set\u2019s instructions rather than swapping individual strips from different pairs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check meaning:<\/strong> A time sequence, cause and response, or established phrase order may indicate which thought leads. Related wishes do not always have an obvious narrative sequence.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check the endings:<\/strong> The usual pattern is an oblique-tone ending for the first line and a level-tone ending for the second.<sup>[2][3]<\/sup> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">This distinction is called pingze (\u5e73\u4ec4, p\u00edngz\u00e8). Mandarin third and fourth tones often identify oblique endings, while first and second tones often identify level endings. However, historical entering-tone characters, rusheng (\u5165\u58f0, r\u00f9sh\u0113ng), were oblique and later dispersed across Mandarin\u2019s four tones. Modern pinyin alone can therefore misclassify a traditional ending.<sup>[3]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The examples below use straightforward endings. For an unlabelled, difficult or mixed set, ask someone familiar with couplets to check the wording and relevant tone system. The header can help establish layout, but it cannot tell you which sentence is intrinsically first.<\/p>\n<h2>How Do You Read and Place the Couplets?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Keep one viewpoint throughout: stand outside, facing the entrance. \u201cYour right\u201d then means the right-hand side of the doorway as you see it, not the right of someone standing inside.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Identify the two lines:<\/strong> Establish which sentence is first and which responds to it before assigning sides.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check the intended layout:<\/strong> Read the header\u2019s actual wording and consult any original instructions. Its reading direction commonly corresponds to the pair\u2019s arrangement.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Read each strip downward:<\/strong> Start at its top character and continue to the bottom; read the first line before the second.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check the finished display:<\/strong> Keep characters upright, without mirroring them. \u201cUpper\u201d and \u201clower\u201d do not require staggered heights.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div style=\"overflow-x:auto;max-width:100%;max-height:800px\"><table>\n<thead><tr><th>Intended arrangement<\/th><th>Header reading direction<\/th><th>Your left<\/th><th>Your right<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>Traditional right-first layout<\/td><td>Right to left<\/td><td>Second line<\/td><td>First line<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Modern left-first layout<\/td><td>Left to right<\/td><td>First line<\/td><td>Second line<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">Both arrangements are described in cultural guidance; one universal right-side rule cannot explain every modern set.<sup>[2]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A header is a useful clue, not an infallible test. A reversible phrase, unfamiliar calligraphy or mismatched pieces can make its intended direction unclear. Confirm the original layout instead of automatically reversing the strips.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A separate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinaculturepro.com\/fu-symbol-meaning\/\">Fu sign<\/a> has its own display customs. Turning some Fu signs upside down does not justify inverting whole sentences. The order in which you physically attach the pieces is also separate from their reading order.<\/p>\n<h2>Chinese New Year Couplet Examples with Pinyin and English<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">The first example is a familiar seven-character pair recorded in a dictionary. Each Chinese line contains seven characters; the translations express wishes rather than promises of real-world outcomes.<sup>[1]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>First line:<\/strong> \u5929\u589e\u5c81\u6708\u4eba\u589e\u5bff \u2014 Ti\u0101n z\u0113ng su\u00ecyu\u00e8 r\u00e9n z\u0113ng sh\u00f2u. \u201cAs the years pass, may people enjoy longer lives.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Second line:<\/strong> \u6625\u6ee1\u4e7e\u5764\u798f\u6ee1\u95e8 \u2014 Ch\u016bn m\u01cen qi\u00e1nk\u016bn f\u00fa m\u01cen m\u00e9n. \u201cMay spring fill the world and blessings fill the home.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Suggested header:<\/strong> \u4e07\u8c61\u66f4\u65b0 \u2014 W\u00e0nxi\u00e0ng g\u0113ngx\u012bn. \u201cAll things renewed.\u201d This is a matching header for the teaching example, not a claim about an original historical set.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">Notice the endings: \u5bff, sh\u00f2u, has Mandarin\u2019s fourth tone, while \u95e8, m\u00e9n, has the second. They illustrate the usual oblique-first, level-second pattern. Each line can also be grouped into a four-character opening and a three-character closing. That matching rhythm is easier to notice in Chinese than in a word-for-word English translation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A shorter teaching example uses four characters per line:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>First line:<\/strong> \u6625\u56de\u5927\u5730 \u2014 Ch\u016bn hu\u00ed d\u00e0d\u00ec. \u201cSpring returns to the earth.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Second line:<\/strong> \u798f\u6ee1\u4eba\u95f4 \u2014 F\u00fa m\u01cen r\u00e9nji\u0101n. \u201cMay good fortune fill the world.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">Here \u5730, d\u00ec, is fourth tone and \u95f4, ji\u0101n, is first tone. The pair places spring\u2019s return alongside a wish for shared blessings. It demonstrates equal length and related meaning without requiring seven characters. This shorter teaching arrangement is not attributed to an ancient author.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">These examples use simplified characters. Traditional forms such as \u58fd, \u9580 and \u842c change the written shapes, not the number of corresponding characters. Regular, running and other calligraphic styles are a separate design choice; a flowing script may require a knowledgeable reader to decipher it.<\/p>\n<h2>When Should Couplets Go Up and Come Down?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Couplets commonly go up as households prepare for New Year, often after cleaning or on New Year\u2019s Eve. The purpose is to welcome the new year with fresh wishes; there is no single pasting hour that every family must observe.<sup>[5]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Removal also varies. Some households take seasonal paper decorations down after the celebrations; others leave their couplets until replacement, sometimes the following New Year. These choices vary between households; the fifteenth day is not a universal removal deadline. Follow the household\u2019s practice and the condition of the paper. Burning the old pair is not a universal requirement.<\/p>\n<h2>How Did Spring Couplets Develop from Peach-Wood Charms?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">An important predecessor was taofu (\u6843\u7b26, t\u00e1of\u00fa): peach-wood boards bearing guardian names or images at an entrance. Their protective purpose belonged to historical beliefs; it was not a verifiable effect of the wood or writing. Such objects were not automatically the same as today\u2019s paired New Year poems.<sup>[4]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Later accounts associate Meng Chang, a tenth-century ruler of Later Shu, with an early New Year inscription on peach-wood boards. This is a familiar milestone in accounts of the custom, not sufficient evidence that one person invented every form of spring couplet.<sup>[2]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Over time, written seasonal wishes and paper displays developed into the familiar doorway tradition. Separate that gradual development from claims about a precise first invention. Neither a single dynasty nor a monster story explains the whole custom.<\/p>\n<h2>FAQs About Chinese New Year Couplets<\/h2>\n<h3>Does the Upper Couplet Always Go on the Right?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">No. It does in the traditional arrangement, viewed from outside facing the door. Some modern sets use a left-first layout. Check the intended arrangement rather than treating the label \u201cupper\u201d as a side.<\/p>\n<h3>Must Chinese New Year Couplets Have Seven Characters?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">No. Four-, five- and seven-character lines are among the forms encountered. Matching the two Chinese lines matters more than choosing seven; the number of English words in translation is irrelevant.<\/p>\n<h3>Can You Use Printed Couplets Instead of Handwritten Ones?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Yes. Printed and handwritten couplets can both express New Year wishes. Check the wording and intended layout in either format; handwriting alone does not establish authenticity, accuracy or suitability for a household.<\/p>\n<h3>Should Spring Couplets Be Hung Upside Down?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Keep the sentences upright and readable. The upside-down custom associated with some Fu signs is a separate practice, not a general instruction for turning Chinese text or whole couplet strips upside down.<\/p>\n<h3>What Is the Difference Between Chunlian and a Fu Sign?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Chunlian consist of two related lines; a Fu sign displays one blessing character. They can appear together around an entrance, but identifying one does not tell you the reading order of the other.<\/p>\n<h2>Sources<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">[1] Ministry of Education, Taiwan. <a href=\"https:\/\/dict.concised.moe.edu.tw\/dictView.jsp?ID=32893&amp;la=0&amp;powerMode=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u6625\u806f \u2014 \u570b\u8a9e\u8fad\u5178\u7c21\u7de8\u672c<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">[2] Shenzhen Municipal Archives. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.szdag.gov.cn\/gzdt\/gzdt\/content\/post_1519697.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u8d34\u6625\u8054\u5230\u5e95\u5e94\u4ece\u5de6\u5f80\u53f3\u8fd8\u662f\u4ece\u53f3\u5f80\u5de6\uff1f<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">[3] Neixiang County. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neixiang.gov.cn\/rwnx\/jxqy\/2015-03-15\/6747.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u5173\u4e8e\u5728\u5168\u53bf\u89c4\u8303\u6625\u8054\u64b0\u5199\u5f20\u8d34\u5de5\u4f5c\u7684\u901a\u77e5 \u2014 appended couplet guidance and \u674e\u6587\u90d1\u2019s \u5bf9\u8054\u7684\u57fa\u672c\u683c\u5f8b\uff08\u7eb2\u8981\uff09<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">[4] Ministry of Education, Taiwan. <a href=\"https:\/\/dict.revised.moe.edu.tw\/dictView.jsp?ID=50179&amp;la=0&amp;powerMode=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u6843\u7b26 \u2014 \u91cd\u7de8\u570b\u8a9e\u8fad\u5178\u4fee\u8a02\u672c<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">[5] Phoebe A.
