The beginning of a year is a good day.

Wonderful party, banquet, high hall.

Ranked according to status, in good order.

The clothes are bright, the patterns are gorgeous and the color is yellow.

The wine bottle is full, and the chairman is full of color.

Food is rich and varied.

There are sheng and Qing, and the piano is auspicious.

The mournful tune is piercing, enjoying the taste and fragrance in the mouth.

Overlooking the vehicles, it is gorgeous and colorful. Look up at the shed and draw carved beams.

May this last as long as the Millennium.

Singing and laughing are fun.

Royal style and long life.
