The New Year's Day verses are as follows:
1. Don't sing the morning rooster, even more drums are afraid of Tim Lao. ——Su Shi's "Shou Sui"
Translation: Morning rooster, please don't crow, the drums and drums urging you are frightening.
2. Make a pot of fire and roar the bamboo, keep the rice cooker open and listen to the chili pepper. ——Dai Fuxu's "New Year's Eve"
Translation: The fire in the brazier is burning brightly, and the sound of firecrackers is endless. The New Year's Eve dinner started, and I heard everyone toasting to the elders with pepper wine.
3. The candle under the wax goose flower is like silver. ——Li Ciming's "Linjiang Fairy? Made on Guiwei's New Year's Eve"
Translation: Wax goose flower refers to the ornaments made of wax or wax-coated paper cut into phoenixes during ancient New Year festivals. What is described here is the joyous scene on New Year's Eve.
4. Cheng Yanxiong of the Yuan Dynasty (Song Dynasty)
Dai Xingxian held a cup of wine to congratulate Yao, and the mirror was shocked by the frost on his temples.
Fortunately, Tu Su should not be allowed to taste it first if he secretly laughs in front of the lamp.
Translation: When I came back at night and toasted with everyone to celebrate my longevity, I accidentally saw myself in the mirror with gray hair on my temples. He smiled secretly at himself in the mirror. It seemed that he might not be able to taste this Tusu wine first.
5. Yuanri Shuhuai [Tang Dynasty] Lu Zhaolin
Official officials have no middle rank, and there are foreign ministers who return to farming.
People sing and drink in the young age, and flowers dance in the Tang Dynasty and spring.
The grass color is confusing for three paths, and the scenery is stunning all around.
I hope it stays like this and the phenology is new every year.
Translation: My official position is low and has not yet reached a middle-level official position. I still return home and farm the land and become a minister living in seclusion. Today, people sing and drink wine to celebrate the first day of the year, and the early blooming flowers also dance to welcome the spring of the Tang Dynasty. The green grass shades the path leading to the house, and the beautiful scenery alarms my neighbors. I hope that life will always be as joyful as this day, and that the scenery will be as fresh year after year.
