The custom of pasting the Spring Couplets could be traced back to the ancient manners of hanging on doors a pair of peach wood pieces, which have charms or images of gods on them, to dispel evil spirits. Gradually, the material of the peach wood have been replaced by red papers, and the images of gods drawn on them have evolved into New Year Paintings, the charms, into poetic sentences written with calligraphic arts and become the Spring Couplets. With the development of modern printing technology, Spring Couplets have been designed in various types, printed on different materials and display a different kind of contemporary aesthetics.
