Ancient poems about the Spring Festival.

Song Dynasty: Wang Anshi

The roar of firecrackers, the old year has passed; The warm spring breeze ushered in the New Year, and people happily drank the newly brewed Tu Su wine.

The rising sun sheds light on doors of each household, New peachwood charm is put up to replace the old.

In the firecrackers, the old year has passed; The warm spring breeze ushered in the New Year, and people happily drank the newly brewed Tu Su wine. The rising sun shines on thousands of families, who are busy taking off the old peach charms and replacing them with new ones.

2. New Year greetings

Ming Dynasty: Wen Zhiming

I don't want to meet, but I want to talk about it. The famous papers are all us.

I also throw some paper at people. The world is too simple and empty.

Friends always hand in their business cards when they pay New Year's greetings, but they don't want to meet each other, so my house is full of expensive invitations.

I also follow the trend and send my respects to others. The world thinks it is easy, but it doesn't think it is empty courtesy.

3. Snow removal at night

Song dynasty: Lu you

On the fourth day, the north wind brought a heavy snow; The snow that God has given us comes on New Year's Eve, which indicates a bumper harvest in the coming year.

Before the glass half full of wine could be lifted to celebrate, I was still writing Fu Tao in cursive script under the lamp.

At the beginning of the fourth watch, the north wind brought a heavy snow; The snow that God gave us just arrived on New Year's Eve, indicating a bumper harvest in the coming year. Before half a glass of Tu Su wine was raised to celebrate the New Year, I had written down the peach blossom symbolizing the Spring Festival in cursive script.

4. In addition to working at night

Tang dynasty: Gao Shi

The cold light in the hotel stayed alone and didn't sleep, and the guest turned sad.

My hometown is thinking thousands of miles tonight, and it is another year of the Ming Dynasty. (Frost Temple: Sorrow Temple)

Translation:

There is a dim light in the hotel, reflecting the lonely guests who can't sleep. Why does the lonely traveler feel sad? People in my hometown must miss me thousands of miles away tonight; The sideburns have turned gray, and another year will be added tomorrow.

5. Except at night

Song Dynasty: Wen Tianxiang

Dry kunkong, years go to the church;

The end of the road is stormy, and the poor side is full of ice and snow.

Life disappears with the years, and the body is forgotten;

There is no such thing as killing Su Meng. It's still early at night.

Translation:

There is nothing between heaven and earth, and time has left me openly.

Scared by the wind and rain at the end of life, experienced frost in the distant frontier.

Now life is coming to an end like this year, and I and my life experience will be forgotten.

I will never dream of drinking Tu Su wine in the New Year, but I can only turn on the lights in the long night.
