Chinese New Year couplets, also known as "春联" (Chunlian), are traditional decorations used to celebrate the Lunar New Year. Typically written in elegant calligraphy on red paper, couplets consist of two poetic lines that convey auspicious and positive messages symbolising good fortune, happiness, and prosperity for the upcoming year. They are usually displayed on doorways or walls in homes and businesses.

Each line of the couplets should match in tone, length, and rhythm, creating a harmonious and balanced expression of wishes. The couplets are an integral part of Chinese New Year traditions and reflect cultural values, such as respect for family and hope for success in the new year. In 2025, which marks the Year of the Snake in the Chinese Zodiac, these couplets may include themes and imagery associated with the snake, highlighting its symbolism of wisdom, flexibility, and renewal .
