春联

“春联（The SpringCouplet）”也被称为“对联（couplet）”，在钟果是一种特殊的文学形式。春联是由贴在门口两侧两组对立的句子（antithetical sentences）组成，在门上面的横批（horizontal scroll bearing an inscription）通常是一个吉祥的短语。贴在门右侧的句子被称作对联的上联（the first line of couplet），左侧的为下联。除夕那天，每家都会在门上贴上红纸写的春联,传递出节日喜庆和热闹的（hilarious）气氛。在过去，钟果人通常用毛笔自己写春联或者请别人写春联，而现在，人们普遍在市场上买印刷好的春联。
