> The daily also reported that the Chinese are using artificial intelligence (AI) technology to produce Spring festival couplets ( chun lian).

AI Spring festival couplets, a col- laboration between CCTV.com and Tencent AI Lab, is the latest hit in China.

Users just need to type the key words to get their personalised Spring festival couplets.

They can then send the couplets to their relatives and friends. It is the latest trend this year.

With black or golden characters written on red paper, Spring festival couplets compose of a pair of poetry lines written vertically and pasted on both sides of the front door.

Topping it off is a four-character horizontal scroll affixed above the door frame.

Pasting couplets has become one of the traditions during the Chinese New Year.

The couplets usually express happiness and wishes for a better life in the coming year.
