Lunar New Year's Eve: Cleaning and hanging couplets

It is fun to watch such custom and tradition in a farm family in Rudong under Nantong in Jiangsu Province,China. The weather is improving and folks are out for the Spring Festival with fireworks later and the character "FU" hanging up on the wall and windows to anticipate blessings from God in China. You better believe such faith when folks venerate(chongbai) ancestors and worship "Laotianye" i.e. the Supreme Authority in Heaven to bestow blessings to folks before the advent of the New Year of the RAT i.e. Mickey Mouse to be liked by adults and kids alike in the Middle Kingdom.
