The sentences posted in the Spring Festival are mainly auspicious words, which convey people's longing for a better life, and are often closely related to people's living habits and reflect people's expectations for life. Because everything goes well, life is safe, family is harmonious, the country is strong, healthy and long-lived, rich and rich, which is the wish of many people from ancient times to the present. Therefore, all wishes come true, all things are forgiven, all things are won, all things are good and auspicious, all things are smooth, you will live forever, the four seasons will be peaceful, you will live a long life, be rich and harmonious, and give enough to others for more than a year. There are also some spring stickers that convey people's aspirations and moral goals, such as "forbearance" and "attainment".

Some spring stickers simply show people the happiness and blessings of the New Year, such as "Welcome to the Spring", "Congratulations on the New Year", "Congratulations on getting rich", "Good luck in the spring", "Good luck all year round", "Everything is renewed", "Good luck", "Spring", "Happiness" and "firecrackers".

Traditional folk houses also stipulate that spring stickers with different shapes should be posted in different positions, such as China and Viet Nam's couplets posted on the bridge tower and doorpost, and the crosses posted on the lintel, while beginning of spring of North Korea's couplets posted on the lintel or door leaf are pointed. However, the design of modern buildings is different, and there are no hard and fast rules on how to paste spring stickers, so now people often paste couplets, horizontal comments, dialogues and so on on the walls of houses.

In addition, there are special spring stickers in different places, such as flowerpots and vases for New Year's flowers, orange pots for New Year's flowers, rice jars, and doors. Li Guangting, a native, recorded in Xiang Yi that an illiterate person posted "Population Peace" on the mouth of the pigsty and "Fat Pig Full Circle" on the bedroom.

People with different identities, occupations and preferences will also post different spring stickers. For example, business people will post "prosperous business" and "great success", investors will post "all profits", people who set up shops to sell goods or engage in sales and trade will post "goods are like wheels" and "customers are like clouds", farmers will post "bumper harvest" and "good weather", and fishermen will post "big letter of fish and shrimp" and "smooth sailing"

Spring post sentences will vary with different times and regions, and also reflect people's lives. In the past, when food was scarce, people often put "full" or "always full" squares on rice jars to pray that there would always be food. In modern Hong Kong and Macao, due to the popularity of horse racing, dog racing, Mark Six lottery and other gambling activities, Spring Festival couplets such as "dogs and horses flourish" and "Liuhe is always in China" are often seen. In recent years, losing weight is popular in cities, so "losing weight successfully" is also a common spring article. In addition, with the introduction and popularization of Christianity, some churches and believers will also write or print some gospel Spring Festival couplets related to Christian teachings, such as "God's grace will always exist", "Respect God and benefit the people", "God gives peace", "God gives ten commandments to welcome the new year with eight blessings", "Send away the old year and welcome the new year with a new one" and so on.
