When can I take off the window decorations I put up during the Chinese New Year?

It depends on the customs of each place. Some have to be kept until a certain festival before they can be taken down, such as when pasting blessing characters and window decorations during the next Spring Festival. Unless during this period of time, it falls off naturally due to wind, rain, sun, etc. Some people don't care and can do it at any time. Places that do this generally believe that the Spring Festival just needs to be celebrated and then it doesn't matter anymore. If some places require that the couplets and window decorations posted during the New Year must be torn down, the earliest time to do so should be after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Because posting couplets and window decorations during the Chinese New Year is a way of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, and in traditional Chinese customs, it is believed that the New Year is officially over after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. In addition, if the scope is expanded further, it should be after the first month of the lunar calendar. After all, if we use months as the unit, the first month is the first month of the twelve months of a year, so after the first month, the feeling of the New Year is completely over.
