Thousands of families in Qian Qian always trade new peaches for old ones. What does this tell us?

"Every family always trades new peaches for old ones" comes from Wang Anshi's poem "Yuan Ri" in the Song Dynasty. The whole poem is as follows:

Except for the one-year-old in firecrackers,

The spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu.

Thousands of families are dying,

Always trade new peaches for old ones.

Firecrackers: Shanjia burned bamboo on New Year's Eve, and the sound of bamboo bursting made Mandrill afraid to avoid it.

Tu Su: The name of wine is the ancient custom of drinking Tu Su wine during the Lunar New Year. Drinking Tu Su means killing something congenial and awakening people's souls. It is said that drinking this wine in the morning of January can keep you from getting sick for a year, and then the wine you drink during the Spring Festival will be collectively called "Tu Su wine". Tu Su is the name of a monastery.

Bay Bay: The bright appearance of sunrise.

Fu Tao: On New Year's Day, it is an ancient custom to write the names of Shen Tu and Lei Yu on a mahogany board and hang them by the door to ward off evil spirits.

God Rabbit and Lei Yu: According to legend, at the end of Shang Dynasty and the beginning of Zhou Dynasty, strange peaches were produced on Dushuo Mountain, and the meat was sweet and delicious, which could prolong life. Two brothers live under the peach tree. My brother's name is Shen Tu, and my brother's name is Lei Yu. They are extremely powerful, and fierce tigers are guarding peaches for them. Shentu and Lei Yu specialize in catching evil spirits, tying them up with peach skin and feeding them to tigers.

The theory of peach wood to ward off evil spirits came from this and became a tool to ward off evil spirits. Expressing thoughts: expressing the author's firm belief and optimistic attitude towards getting rid of the disadvantages of the times and implementing the new law. This expresses his smug mood in the spring breeze and also reflects his ruling attitude.

Note: Wang Anshi devoted himself to the study of Confucian classics, wrote books and set forth opinions, initiated the New Learning of Gong Jing, and promoted the formation of the style of study in the Song Dynasty. Philosophically, he expounded the formation of the universe with the theory of "five elements", which enriched and developed the thoughts of China and ancient naive materialism. His philosophical proposition of "dividing the old from the new" pushed China's ancient dialectics to a new height.

In literature, Wang Anshi made outstanding achievements. His prose is concise, short and pithy, with clear arguments, strict logic and strong persuasiveness, which gives full play to the practical functions of ancient Chinese prose and ranks among the "eight masters of Tang and Song Dynasties".

His poems are "thin but difficult to learn from Du Fu" and good at reasoning. In his later years, his poetic style was subtle, profound and simple, and he was unique in the poetic style of the Northern Song Dynasty, and was known as "Wang Ti" in the world. His poems are full of nostalgia and homesickness, with broad artistic conception and simple images. There are works such as Linchuan Collection.
