The first part: the sky increases, the people increase their longevity, and the second part: the spring is full, the kung fu is full, and the horizontal approval: the meaning of Chang' an in four seasons.
This couplet is often used for birthdays. The first couplet means that people will live one year longer if they add one year to the sky. This is a metaphor for sharing the same life with heaven! Imagine if people who live as long as heaven and earth are immortals (metaphor for longevity); The second part uses spring to compare the good environment of the old birthday girl (the four seasons are like spring, and spring always brings vitality and hope to people, so spring is often used to compare beautiful things). Fu Man Lou means that the old birthday girl's residence is full of happiness and good luck, and her life is safe with "Chang 'an in Four Seasons", because there is a saying in China that "peace is happiness", which is prayed by most people in China.
