Learn All About Spring Couplets
Join China Council resident artist and language teacher Willow Zheng
and the distinguished calligrapher, Yan Buliang, to learn about Chinese
New Year chun lian, or spring couplets. Chun lian are customarily
written on red strips of paper with black ink and placed at the main entranceway
to one’s home during Spring Festival. Willow and Mr. Yan will introduce
several popular chun lian and invite participants to create their own
using a Chinese brush and ink. Children, accompanied by parents, are most
welcome.
Chun lian is a special type of dui lian, or couplet,
written on vertical strips of red paper. The first (upper) line is posted
on the right side of the front door. The second (lower) line is posted
on the left side of the door. In addition, a third horizontal piece may
be posted across the top of the door.
