Every household has to post Spring Festival couplets. One of the sources of Spring Festival couplets is peach charms. Originally people used them to ward off evil spirits. Later, wooden carvings of door gods were painted and hung on peach wood beside the door. It was later simplified to writing the door god's name on a peach wood board. It should be noted that the word "Fu" on the door should never be pasted upside down. 2.
