Is Wang Anshi's January 1st New Year's Day or Spring Festival?

This poem describes the scene of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new in the Spring Festival. Firecrackers sent away the old year, and I felt the breath of spring while drinking mellow Tu Su wine. The rising sun shines on thousands of families, and every family's peaches are replaced with new ones.

This is an impromptu work about welcoming the New Year in ancient times. Based on folk customs, it sensitively absorbs the typical materials of ordinary people during the Chinese New Year and grasps the representative details of life: setting off firecrackers, drinking Tu Su wine and changing peaches, which fully shows the happy atmosphere of the Chinese New Year and makes life colorful.

This poem praises the birth of new things, which is as full of vitality as "the spring breeze picks up"; "Tomorrow" shines on "thousands of families". This is not an ordinary sun, but the beginning of a new life. Political reform has brought a bright future to the people. At the end of the sentence, "new peaches are often exchanged for old peaches" shows the poet's satisfaction and joy at the victory of political reform and the improvement of people's lives.
