The New Year's Day

Author Wang Anshi Dynasty Song

The firecrackers sound a year apart, the spring breeze sends warmth into the tusu.

A thousand doors and tens of thousands of tels, always changing the new peach for the old one.

Translation

In the sound of the firecrackers, the old year was over; the warm spring breeze blew in the New Year, and people drank the newly-brewed Tusu wine with joy. The rising sun shines on thousands of families, who are busy taking down the old peach charms and replacing them with new ones.
