Spring Festival Couplets - Chun Lian

You may want to look at Greg Choong's photo of "Chun Lian & Red Latterns". The origin of chun lian is given in this article from Australia's Chinatown. Pure Insight provides this information.

Some couplets are written using simple characters, but I have nto yet found a complete pair that is good for beginners. I will keep loooking. You may be able to write these:

? ? ? ? Laosh�o p�ng'an �All is well.

? ? ? ? D� j� d� l� � Good luck and great prosperity; expression of good wishes.

? ? ? ? D�d�hu�chun � Spring has returned to the land.

Watch your stroke order please - they will look so much better! Here's the glossary:

? lao - old
? sh�o - few, little
?? laosh�o - the old and young
? p�ng - level, even
? an - still, quiet
?? - safe & sound

? d� - big
? j� - lucky, auspicious
?? - great, good fortune
? l� - benefit, profit

?? - earth, mother earth, world
? - return
? - spring (season)
?? - bring back to life
