中国人喜欢在春节时写春联，然后贴在大门的两侧。
Chinese people like writing Spring Festival couplets during the Spring Festival and pasting them on both sides of the door.
春联字数不多，都是寓意祝福吉祥的句子，用墨水或金漆写在长条的红纸上，包含上联、下联和横批。
Spring Festival couplets are concise and usually contain auspicious blessings. They are written with ink or gold paint on long strips of red paper and consist of the upper scroll, the lower scroll,and the horizontal scroll.
这上下联字数一样，究竟该怎么贴呢？
The upper and lower scrolls have the same number of characters. So how should they be pasted?
中国传统文字的顺序不同于西方国家或现代中国，在过去，人们习惯从右到左竖线书写。
The order of traditional Chinese characters is different from Western countries or modern China. In the past, people were accustomed to writing vertically from right to left.
要确定上联在左边还是右边，得先看横批怎么写。
To determine whether the upper scroll should be on the left or right, you need to look at how the horizontal scroll is written.
如果横批是从左往右写，上联就在左边，横批从右往左写，上联就在右边。
If the horizontal scroll is written from left to right, the upper scroll is on the left; if the horizontal scroll is written from right to left, the upper scroll is on the right.

幅字是贴在大门中间的。
The character "Fu" is pasted in the middle of the door.
除了贴春联外，中国人还很喜欢在窗户和玻璃门上贴窗花，象征着健康和兴旺，也更能增加喜庆的气氛。
In addition to pasting couplets, Chinese people also like to paste window paper cuts on windows and glass doors, symbolizing health and prosperity, and adding to the festive atmosphere.
今天我也试试剪窗花。
I’m going to try cutting paper-cut today.
不论是春联还是窗花，都饱含着中国人对新年的祝福和期盼，过年啦！
Whether it's couplets or window paper cuts, they are full of Chinese people's blessings and expectations for the new year. Happy Chinese New Year!
