To welcome the large number of Chinese tourists entering during the Spring Festival, an Australian medical beauty
Hospital's two beautiful "nurses" bought red rice paper and brushes and carefully wrote spring couplets stroke by stroke in Chinese characters.
They said that because they heard Chinese guests mention "Jing Ye Fu," "He Xie Fu," and "Sao Wu Fu" and found it interesting, they imitated and wrote them, also providing English
translations — LOVE PEACE HOPE, which can be said to be a "perfect blend of Chinese and Western cultures."
For thousands of years,

The form of spring couplets has continuously evolved.
春联的形式不断演变
