Spring Festival couplets are composed of two antithetical sentences on both sides of the door and a horizontal scroll above the gate. The Spring Festival couplets are written with lucky words on the red paper.
On the eve of the Spring Festival, Chinese will paste Spring Festival couplets on the gate posts for good fortune. In the past, Chinese usually wrote Spring Festival couplets by themselves or ask others to write it for them. Nowadays most Chinese buy printed Spring Festival couplets in the market, but I think handwritten Spring Festival couplets are more meaningful.
Now we can see some teachers are writing Spring Festival couplets with a writing brush. They write it quickly and fluently. I guess they have practiced calligraphy for a long time, because mastering a Chinese writing brush is not easy. But if you are interested in it, you can learn it quickly.
