AN ancient tradition still observed in China＇s countryside is the hanging of elegantly designed couplets on household gates on Chinese New Year＇s Eve. While most households change these couplets every year, those in Qinyong Village, Shaanxi Province have kept their own unique verses for decades. The left piece reads, ＂Remember Liberation and the Communist Party,＂ the right one reads, ＂Thank Emperor Qin for Our Well-off Life,＂ and the horizontal part running along the top of the gate reads, ＂Be Forever Grateful to Old Yang.＂
