The Spring Festival in 2017 is coming soon, and every household will inevitably post Spring Festival couplets and set off firecrackers at this time of the year. Spring couplets-evolved from the "Peach Stem" during the Warring States Period more than 2,000 years ago. "Huainanzi" says that the peach symbol (that is, the peach stem) is carved from peach wood. It is engraved with the spell of extinction and blessing, which is changed every year.

During the Spring Festival, Emperor Meng Chang of the Five Dynasties Hou Shu was on a whim and made people shred the peach tree. He put a pen on it and inscribed the joint sentence: "Happy New Year's Day, Changchun Festival". This is the earliest Spring Festival couplets in China. As for the official birth of the name Spring Couplets, it was in the Ming Dynasty.

After the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, established the capital of Jinling, he decreed on New Year's Eve: "In the family of the public, a pair of spring couplets must be written to embellish the New Year." In the future, the Spring Festival couplets were promoted, and every household has to post the Spring Festival couplets during the New Year. "

1. Prepare materials.

【tianjin】post Spring Festival Couplets recipe

2. I knead a quarter of the dough and cocoa powder into cocoa dough, a quarter into a red curved dough, three-eighths of the original color dough, and the rest is green dough. Cover with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for more than one hour.

3. First make the walls, cut the raw color dough into rectangles, and use the left side shovel to press evenly spaced channels.

4. Cut a piece of hard paper of the same width and press it on a small vertical path.

5. The second row of the vertical track is offset from the first row.

6. Use cocoa dough for the roof. Use the cream comb as shown in the picture below to print a stamp, and it will be a tile.

7. Engraved door frames in raw dough, and engraved doors in cocoa dough.

8. Roll out the red dough and engrave the couplets.

9. Roll out the lantern with red dough. The pattern on the lantern is pressed out with a spoon.

10. People are drawn first, then broken down, carved out on different colored patches, and then put together.

11. Carve an old grandma and a little girl, and then use red dough to make a bunch of peppers, the whole picture is ready

12. Put it in the oven and bake at 160 degrees for 15 minutes. The chili, little girl, and lantern are roasted for 8 minutes because they are relatively small.

13. It's all baked, let's take a look at a larger picture.

14. There are several ways to embody the characters on the couplet. One is to use a fine brush to moisten it with black pigment, and the other is to print the font and cut it out and paste it in. Another method is to use the software to insert it later. You can choose whatever you want. I have used all three methods.
