Spring Festival Poems
Shui Diao Ge Tou
Xin Qiji
If you have a white head and missing teeth, don’t laugh at your old age.
Infinite heaven and earth, present and past, humans are among the four.
The stinky and rotten magic is all over, the noble and the humble, the wise and the foolish are equal, and the creation is like a child.
The old Buddha is even more laughable, and his wonderful words are empty.
Sitting on a pile of pigeons, walking and chatting, and setting up a dragon bell.
Sometimes there are three or two cups, and the wine is light and drunk.
Forty-nine years ago, one hundred and eighty-nine people were walking on a narrow road, leaning against the east wall with a stick.
What is the difference between the old state and the young man?
Yuan's Day
Wang Anshi
The sound of firecrackers marks the end of the year,
The spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu;
Thousands of households always exchange old talismans for new peaches.
New Year's greetings
Wen Zhengming
I don't ask for a meeting, but for a visit.
The house is filled with famous papers.
I also throw in a few pieces of paper with others,
The world is too simple but not too empty.
Tian Family New Year's Day
Meng Haoran
I fought back to the north last night, and now I am starting from the east;
I have become an official at this age and have no salary. Worry about farmers.
The father plows the fields, and the shepherd boy follows the hoe;
The Tian family is responsible for the climate, and the mother-in-law said that this year will be good.
New Year's Message from Fengcheng
Cha Shenxing
Skillfully cut flags to win the test of Silla,
Paint colors and gold to make moths;
From now on, the scissors will be idle for a month.
The needlework in the boudoir will be more than a year old.
Spring Festival Nursery Rhymes
In old Beijing, celebrating the New Year is the happiest thing for children. Nursery rhymes, accompanied by the tender voices of children, flowed crisply into thousands of households, lingering in deep alleys and ancient courtyard houses for a long time.
As soon as the twelfth lunar month enters, the flavor of the new year begins. Children are all looking forward to celebrating the new year, especially children from poor families. They usually cannot wear new clothes or eat good food, but when it comes to the new year, No matter how hard and tired the parents are, they still have to prepare some food and drink for the children and make new clothes.
At that time, as long as you drink Laba porridge, the New Year is not far away. So, the children sang nursery rhymes:
Children, don’t be greedy, it’s the New Year after Laba Festival;
Drink Laba porridge for a few days, and it will be twenty. Three; Twenty-three, sticky melons; Twenty-four, clean the house;
Twenty-five, frozen tofu; Twenty-six, go buy meat;
Twenty-seven, slaughter Rooster; twenty-eight, make noodles;
Twenty-nine, steam buns; stay up all night at thirty;
walk around the streets on the first and second day of the lunar month.
Because every household has to go out to pay New Year greetings on the first and second days of the Lunar New Year, so the streets are full of people coming and going at this time. This nursery rhyme vividly summarizes the entire custom of people busy celebrating the New Year, and has been widely circulated in Beijing for many years.
Tease... tease... beg tease beg tease strong;
Rice cake dipped in white sugar, dates, chestnuts and crab apples.
The Chinese New Year is coming, and adults will go to the streets to buy new year's goods, while children will follow the adults to ask for all kinds of delicious and fun things. At that time, there were many people selling various snacks and fruits on the street. The seller would spread the rice cakes on the table, buy as many as they wanted, cut them with a knife, and then put a spoonful of sugar on them, and the children would dip them in the sugar to eat. On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, when it was time to celebrate the Little New Year, the children said again:
Tanggua is offered to the stove, and the New Year is here;
Girls want flowers, boys want cannons;
The old man wants a new felt hat,
The old lady wants a new cotton-padded jacket.
Sacrificing the stove is an old custom during the Chinese New Year. Once the stove is sacrificed, the New Year will be closer. At this time, children can not only eat Guandong candy, but also go to the streets to buy various firecrackers. On the thirtieth night, put on new clothes, light lanterns, and have fun. After setting off the firecrackers and eating dumplings at midnight, it’s time to kowtow to the elders and pay New Year greetings. The nursery rhyme says:
Three stars are in the south, and every family pays New Year greetings;
For the younger generation, Kowtow and give money to the elders.
If you don’t want money, just turn your face and leave.
At this time, the children became very well-behaved and kowtowed to the elderly one by one. The old people looked at their grandchildren and granddaughters with smiles on their faces, and gave each of them a small red envelope to wish the children safety and good fortune. The red envelopes contained lucky money.
In the past, when children said nursery rhymes, they often added words impromptu. Some of them may have missed the sound, and some were just to make it easier to pronounce. Therefore, sometimes there were several versions of a nursery rhyme. . Generation after generation of children just talked and sang like this, and they grew up and walked out of the courtyards and alleys. Today's children celebrate the New Year almost every day, and the living standards of every household are many times better than in the past. However, the style of old Beijing remains the same, perfectly preserved in nursery rhymes one after another.
