Interpretation of Yuan Ri

The first day of the lunar month

Wang Song Anshi

Besides firecrackers, the east wind sent warmth into Tu Su.

Thousands of families are competing for new peaches and old symbols.

[Note] (1) Yuan Day: the first day of the first lunar month. (2) Tu Su: the name of fine wine. (3) Bend [sound "Tong Tong"]: Describe the appearance of the sun just coming out. (4) Peach: the symbol of peach. In ancient times, people used to write down the names of Shencha and Lei Yu in mahogany on New Year's Day and hang them by the door, thinking that this would ward off evil spirits.

In the sound of firecrackers, the old year was sent away and the new year was ushered in. When people drink delicious Tu Su wine, there is a warm spring breeze sidewalk, which is very pleasant! At dawn, every family took off their old peach charms and put on new ones to welcome the New Year.
