Red represents celebrations, such as festivals or weddings or tailoring after the completion of projects. Our white custom here was posted when people died and held funerals. The purple one was posted one year after the old man died, and the pair was not posted one year after his death. Yellow couplets are rarely posted in personal homes, but are usually posted in immortals or temples. The above customs may be different from other places.
Henan's stress is: red and jubilant! White is the funeral. The first year is white, the second year is yellow, the third year is green and the fourth year is purple. It is about filial piety. You can read the contents of couplets!
If someone in the family dies, this rule is: purple in the first year, yellow in the second year, green in the third year, and big red in the fourth year.
Xiaogan: Red stands for greeting, yellow stands for missing relatives who have just passed away, purple and blue stands for the second year of mourning for the deceased, and green stands for the third year of mourning for the deceased. In some places, white represents missing relatives who have just passed away.
