The poems about the New Year are as follows:
1. "Heavy Night Snow"
Song Dynasty·Lu You
The north wind blows snow at the beginning of the fourth watch, Jiajia Ruitianjiao and Suichu.
Half of the lamp has been used to slaughter Su, and peach symbols are written on the grass in front of the lamp.
Translation: When the fourth watch arrives, the north wind brings a heavy snowfall. This auspicious snow gifted to us by God arrives just on New Year's Eve, which heralds a good harvest in the coming year. Before the half-filled glass of Tusu wine could be raised to celebrate the New Year, I used the light to write the peach symbols welcoming the Spring Festival with grass.
2. "Shou Sui"
Su Shi of the Song Dynasty
If you want to know that dying of old age is like going to the snake.
Half of the repair scales are gone, no one can hide them.
I want to tie it to the end, but I know what I can do despite my diligence.
The children were forced not to sleep, but stayed together all night and had fun.
Don’t sing the morning rooster, even more drums are afraid of Tim Lao.
After sitting for a long time and the lamps dimmed, I watched the Beidou tilt.
There will be no time next year, and I may be wasting my worries.
You can still be proud of your efforts.
Translation: You must know that the age when you are about to say goodbye is like a long snake swimming into a deep ravine. Half of the long scales have disappeared. Who can stop the desire to leave! What's more, trying to tie its tail end, despite my diligence, I know there is no way.
The children struggled hard without sleeping and stayed together laughing and making noise at night. Morning rooster, please don't crow, the drums urging you are frightening. After sitting there for a long time, the lanterns were falling. When I got up, I saw that the Big Dipper had tilted sideways.
Will there be no New Year's Eve next year? I'm just afraid that my worries will go wrong again. Try to cherish this night, and the young man can still boast of his spirit.
