The New Year's scroll underwent a particularly flourishing period of development during the Ch'ing dynasty, when its cousins the indoor scroll and the pillar scroll became popular. It got to the point where scholars and literati were deemed philistines if their dwellings lacked scrolls.
及至清朝，春聯的發展尤其蓬勃，它的姊妹品﹘﹘堂聯、楹聯更是熱鬧繽紛，文人雅士的居所，直到了無「聯」便是俗的地步。
