(2) Door Couplets — Best Wishes for the Coming Year
New Year couplets (对联duìlián ) are pasted on doors. On the couplets, good wishes or statements are expressed.
New Year good wishes are usually posted in pairs (i.e. couplets), as even numbers are associated with good luck and auspiciousness in Chinese culture. Couplets are brush works of Chinese calligraphy, in black ink on red paper.
The two usually-seven (or nine)-character lines of the couplet are affixed on the two sides of a doorway. Many are poems about the arrival of spring. These might remain up until renewed at the next Chinese New Year. In the same vein, a four-character idiom of well wishes is often added to the crosspiece of the door frame as well.
(3) Paper Cuttings — Luck and Happiness
Paper cutting is the art of cutting designs out of paper (any color, but typically red for the Spring Festival), and then gluing them to a contrasting backing or a transparent surface (e.g. a window). It is customary for people in northern and central China to paste red paper cuttings on doors and windows.

(5) Upside-Down Fu Characters — Luck 'Poured Out'
Similar to New Year couplets, and sometimes as paper cuttings, is the pasting of big diamonds (squares at 45°) of paper calligraphy with the inverted Chinese character福 (fú ) on or over doors.
The fu characters are deliberately inverted. Fu means 'good fortune', and posting the character upside down means they want the 'good fortune' to "pour out" on them.
