Why we paste the “春联” ( "chun lian" ) upside down?
It is tradition to make some“春联” ( "chun lian" Chinese New Year Banners) on Chinese New Year. We write lucky words on a piece of red paper and paste it on the doors, windows, walls, or anything we work with such as the car or computer and hope it brings good luck.
Long time ago, a person accidentally pasted the banner upside down. When the bypasser saw it and shouted out loud:“春倒了” ( “chun dao le” Spring is upside down!). But it sound just like:“春到了” (“chun dau le” Spring is here!).
From then on, People paste the lucky words upside down on purpose. That is why we see the inverted chun lian nowadays!
