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.

It contains profound philosophy, pointing out that new things always replace declining things. 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.
