Most couplets have no horizontal approval, but only door couplets and couplets with horizontal approval, and the door couplets are pasted above the door frame; Cross-batch couplets are attached to the beam above the court column. There is almost no cross-criticism of couplets in literary works.
Therefore, horizontal approval is closely related to the content of up and down links. A good horizontal batch can play a icing on the cake. In other words, horizontal criticism is the sublimation of the content of couplets and the crowning touch of the theme of couplets.
There are couplets first, and then there are horizontal comments. Spring Festival couplets are actually ancient poems. There was no horizontal criticism, only couplets. Later, a horizontal comment was added. Couplets are the main body, and horizontal batch is secondary, so horizontal batch is smaller.
Extended data:
The couplet posted on the right is the first couplet, ending with the word "Yi". That is to say, the last word with the third and fourth tones is the first part. The left couplet is the bottom couplet and ends in a flat voice. That is to say, the last word is the first sound and the second sound, but the ancient bottom couplet is written from right to left and vertically; If you write a banner, it is written horizontally from right to left.
Therefore, according to tradition, the paste method of Spring Festival couplets should of course be that when you face couplets, the upper part is on the right and the lower part is on the left, and the horizontal batch is naturally pasted on it. Note that the horizontal batch is written horizontally from right to left at this time.
Speaking of posting Spring Festival couplets, a pair of Spring Festival couplets is not only the mascot of the Spring Festival, but also reflects the cultural level of the families who post Spring Festival couplets to some extent.
