"Yuanri" Wang Song Anshi
Song Anshi, King of Yuan Dynasty
The roar of firecrackers, the old year has passed; The warm spring breeze ushered in the New Year, and people happily drank the newly brewed Tu Su wine.
In the noise of biscuits, the past year has passed, and the spring wind brings warmth and helps the wine mature.
The rising sun sheds light on doors of each household, New peachwood charm is put up to replace the old.
The sun brings brighter light to every family, the charm of ancient mahogany, renewal and resistance to evil.
In the sound of firecrackers, the old year was sent away, and the new year was ushered in. The spring breeze sent warmth into Tu Su.
Very comfortable! At dawn, try to replace the old peaches with new ones.
