Answer 1

【答案】Dear Mr. Hall,

Glad to hear from you. Knowing that you are curious about the couplets, I feel happy to tell you something about them.

Decorations are important features of the celebrations for the Chinese Spring Festival. One of the main forms of decoration is pasting the 'Red Couples', which are Chinese good luck sayings written on red paper. It is a traditional custom in China. Pasting couplets is a small thing, but it contains not only good morals and rich cultural knowledge but also people's expectations for the coming new year. People keep them up all the year round in the hope of keeping good luck.

If you are interested in knowing more, just let me know.

Yours,

Li Hua
