Author: Kong (Qing)
Xiao Shu spontaneously failed to make a profit, and the old-age stove was abandoned.
Cut the candles and dry the midnight wine, and spent all the money to buy spring money.
Listen to the childlike innocence of setting off firecrackers and watch peaches and oranges.
Add a plum blossom to the drum horn to celebrate the New Year in Lian Xiao.
Appreciation of New Year's Day in Wu Jia:
Kong was sixty-six years old when he wrote the song "New Year's Day in Wu Jia". He lived in his hometown Qufu. The poem "New Year's Day in China and Japan" is divided into two paragraphs. The first four sentences are about New Year's Eve, watching the New Year around the stove and drinking midnight snacks. The third sentence is transition, lending and giving. Buying lucky money means that the old year has passed and the new year is coming. The last four sentences are transferred to New Year's Day. Set off firecrackers, change peaches, listen to music and celebrate the New Year. Between the lines, Kong danced with sincere childlike innocence. The whole poem New Year's Day in Jiawu reflects his quiet and happy mood after leaving the officialdom.
