Among the traditional Chinese Spring Festival festivals, the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month is a festival. On this day, every household prepares dough, puts up New Year pictures, Spring Festival couplets and window decorations as preparations before the Spring Festival. In the new calendar, the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month in 2017 is February 13th, which is World Radio Day. UNESCO established World Radio Day to promote the important role of radio as a communication carrier in promoting educational development, information dissemination and the release of important information in natural disasters.
On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, people would "put up flowers", which means putting up New Year pictures, Spring Festival couplets and window decorations. The custom of pasting Spring Festival couplets originated from the ancient "peach charms". The ancients believed that peach wood was a wood that could ward off evil spirits. "Dianshu" said: "Peach is the essence of the five woods, so it can suppress evil spirits." During the Five Dynasties, Meng Chang, the monarch of the Later Shu Dynasty, was fond of literature. He ordered people to write peach charms every year, which became the origin of later Spring Festival couplets. The words "New Year brings more blessings, and the festival is called Changchun" written on the peach charms became the first recorded "Spring Festival couplet" in Chinese history. Later, with the advent of papermaking, the custom of posting Spring Festival couplets with red date flowered paper instead of peach wood appeared.
