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.

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. There is another saying about the Spring Festival couplets that have been picked, that is, to burn the old ones that have been picked, which means to burn all the bad luck. There is a folk myth in China: Spring Festival couplets are immortals in the sky. When they are burned, they will go to heaven to report the people's situation to the Jade Emperor, hoping that the gods can bring good luck and other beautiful legends to the folk families.
