spring festival couplets (春联，chūnlián) refer to antithetical coupletswritten on scrolls which convey people's wishes for peace, fortune andgood luck with concise and matching words.

before the spring festival arrives, chinese people will paste all their door panels with the couplets, highlighting chinese calligraphy with black characters on red paper.

personally, i think the colors for spring festival couplets- red and black - classically beautiful.
