今天，小编为大家“洋气”地介绍一下春联。

春节是中华民族最隆重的传统佳节，而春联是中国人过春节的重要标志。和全国其他地方一样，春节前，湖北家家户户都要挑漂亮的红春联贴于门上，辞旧迎新，增加喜庆的节日气氛。

Spring Festival Couplets, Chunlian in Chinese, is also known as Spring Couplets or Chinese New Year Couplets. It is the most common and important custom when celebrating Chinese New Year. This tradition is widely kept both in modern cities and rural areas of China，so as to express happiness and hopeful thoughts for the coming year.

春联粘贴在门两边和门帘上，以对仗工整、简洁精巧的文字描绘美好形象，抒发美好愿望，是中国特有的文学形式。

春联（Spring Festival Couplets）分为上联（the right scroll）,下联（the left scroll）和横批（the top scroll）。

特点

1. 上下两联字数相等，长短一致。

Both lines must have the same number of Chinese characters.

2. 上下两联要求对称，词性相同。

The lexical category of each character must be the same as its corresponding character.

3. 上下两联要求平仄相对。

上联尾字为仄音（上声，去声），下联尾字为平音（阴平、阳平）。

The tone pattern of one line must be the inverse of the other. This generally means if one character is of the level (平) tone, its corresponding character in the other line must be of an oblique (仄) tone. The last character of the first line should be of an oblique tone, which forces the last character of the second line to be of a level tone.

4. 上下两联要求内容相关，主题突出。

The meanings of the two lines must be related, with each pair of corresponding characters having related meanings too.
