Based on material gathered during ethnographic field trips between 2017 and 2019, this presentation explores how Chinese Christians engage with spring couplets 春聯 and discusses the spatial and material expressions of Christian identity in contemporary China. Across the Chinese-speaking world, families traditionally hang renewed antithetical couplets on the sides of their home’s main door in the days leading up to Chinese New Year. This custom is also embraced by both Chinese Catholics and Protestants. This paper highlights the various spring couplets used by Catholics and Protestants in the small city Nanping, north Fujian. This region is home to diverse Christian communities and provides a rich foundation for a cross-denominational approach that compares rural and urban practices. After presenting the socio-economic background of the region, Dr. Michel Chambon will analyze how Christian couplets produce a semi-religious space and how they speak about processes of inter-culturation in contemporary China.
