When you are sticking up your spring couplets, if you find that the last character ends in a first or second tone, this should be stuck on the left hand side. If the last character is a third or forth tone, it should be stuck on the right side. The one on the right is the "shang lian - the top line". The one on the left hand side is the "xia lian - the bottom line". You read it from 'top to bottom'. Then you read the one that goes across horizontally.
