The origin of these customs in Wang Anshi's Yuanri poems

January is written on the first day of the first lunar month, that is, the Spring Festival. Custom: Set off firecrackers, drink Tu Su wine and paste Spring Festival couplets.

Firecracker: the sound made by the ancients when they burned bamboo. It was used to exorcise ghosts and evil spirits, and later evolved into setting off firecrackers. One year old except: one year has passed. Except, passed away.

Tu Su: "It refers to Tu Su wine. Drinking Tu Su wine used to be the custom of the ancient New Year in China. On the first day of the New Year, the whole family drinks this wine soaked in Tu Su grass to ward off evil spirits and avoid epidemic diseases, so as to live longer.

Peach: Fu Tao is an ancient custom. On the first day of the first lunar month, people write the names of Shen Tu and Lei Yu on a mahogany board and hang them by the door to ward off evil spirits. Also called Spring Festival couplets.

Make an appreciative comment

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

"Firecrackers are one year old, and the spring breeze warms Tu Su." Setting off fireworks on New Year's Day is an ancient custom that has continued to this day. In ancient customs, every year on the first day of the first month, the whole family drank Tu Su wine, and then wrapped the dregs in red cloth and hung them on the doorframe to "exorcise evil spirits" and avoid the plague.

The third sentence, "Every family lives", inherits the previous poems, which means that every family is bathed in the light of the early spring sunrise. The last sentence describes the forwarding discussion. Hanging peach symbols is also the custom of the ancients.

Although this poem uses line drawing technique, it tries its best to exaggerate the festive atmosphere, and at the same time, it expresses its thoughts through the custom of updating on January 1 ST, which is implicit but not revealing.
