Why do some Spring Festival couplets fall off naturally?

During the holidays. As one of the magic weapons to drive away the Year of the Animal, Spring Festival couplets can be picked after the Year of the Animal. According to different local folk customs, the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month counts as the end of the year, and the Year of the Loong on the second day of February counts as the end of the year. With the development of the city, some localities and units, for the sake of city appearance and property management, demand to dismantle Spring Festival couplets during or after the Spring Festival holiday.

Natural shedding theory. The so-called natural falling off means that after the Spring Festival couplets are posted, no one cares, and the Spring Festival couplets are hit by wind and rain and naturally fall off. Or, when you see the Spring Festival couplets ruined by the wind and rain, just take them off.

Burning: There is also the saying of "burning Spring Festival couplets", which means burning the old ones, which means burning all the bad luck.
