Wang Anshi of Song Dynasty

A year is over in the sound of firecrackers, and the wind of spring sends warmth into the Tuusu.

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

Translation: The old year has passed away in the sound of roaring firecrackers; the warm spring breeze has blown in the New Year, and people are joyfully drinking freshly brewed Tusu wine. The rising sun shines on thousands of families, who are busy removing the old peach charms and replacing them with new ones.

2. "The New Year's Rhetoric of Fengcheng"

Cleaning and checking the prudent behavior

Cleverly cutting the streamers to win the trial of Xinluo, and painting the colorful gold to make the lively moths.

From now on, the scissors will be idle for a month, and there will be many needles and threads in the boudoir before the end of the year.

Translation: The skillful hands of the lady's chamber cut the gold foil streamers, tried on the new clothes of silk, painted and traced the gold, and made the moths to wear on their heads. Since then, the scissors are idle for a month, and at the end of the year, the boudoir needlework is extraordinarily abundant.

3, "New Year's Eve Snow"

Song Lu You

North wind blowing snow at the beginning of the fourth shift, Jiarui Tianjiao and the year in addition.

Half a cup of tusu has not yet been lifted, and the grass in front of the lamp has written a peach symbol.

Translation: At the beginning of the fourth night, the north wind brought a heavy snowfall; this heavenly gift of snow came on New Year's Eve, signaling a good harvest for the coming year. Before I had a chance to raise my glass of Tusu wine to celebrate the New Year, I was writing in cursive script by the light of day to welcome the spring peaches.

4, Empowered by the Imperial Decree on New Year's Eve

Tang Shi Qing

This year's night is over, and the next year's day will be rushed.

The cold goes with the night, and the spring comes with the five nights.

The color of the air has changed, and the face is back in the dark.

The scenery of the city is so beautiful that people don't realize that they have already seen the plums in the backyard.

Translation: This year will be over tonight, and the next year will start tomorrow in a hurry. The cold, with this night tonight, is over, and spring comes with the fifth night. The complexion changes with time, and the face ages quietly. Time passes without one feeling it, but the plum blossoms in the back garden have opened.

5. New Year's Eve

Song Dai Fu

Anciently sweeping out the cottage to clear away the dust and clamor, and burning incense to worship the nine heavens.

All things welcome spring and send off the remaining wax, the end of the year is this night.

The fire of the birth pot is roaring, and the spindle is open to listen to the praise of the peppers.

The wild guests know that the farming is good, but the snow has not yet completely disappeared in three winters.

Translation: Cleaning the house, washing away the dust of the past, burning a pillar of incense, paying homage to heaven and earth. Everything in the world is bidding farewell to the remnants of winter and welcoming the new spring. After tonight, the year will be over. The fire in the fire pit is burning brightly, and the sound of firecrackers is endless. The New Year's Eve dinner was served, and the sound of everyone toasting their elders with pepper and cypress wine was heard. The farmer already knows in advance that next year will be a good harvest year, because the winter snow has not yet finished melting.
