In celebration of the approaching Chinese Lunar New Year, citizens begin to select Spring Festival couplets or chunlian, which are an essential part of Spring Festival’s decorations and are believed to bring blessings and good fortune to the household. These couplets, written on red paper strips and displayed on front doors of homes during the Chinese New Year, symbolize family unity, positive aspirations, and prosperity.
