Ancient poems about celebrating the New Year
Guan Xiangxin’s ink painting (Fang Qian)
Although the steepness is created by the pen, all the energy comes from the mind. . Leaning against the clouds and cypress trees, one knows that there is no decay.
The high spring hanging on the wall seems to have sound. The turning fan makes the waves move along the shore, and the lantern turns back and the setting sun shines brightly on the mountain.
When the master passed away in his younger years, the name of Xiang Xin should be passed down in a foreign land.
Du Tushan (Kou Si)
He was engaged in writing and calligraphy when he was young, but he did not know how to fight in the army. Once upon a time, he was busy riding drums and riding his horse across Tushan Mountain.
Tushan lies across the earth’s axis, leaving a deserted landscape for thousands of miles. It's long and far away, how fast is it?
The flowing moon waves its golden sword, and the frightening wind breaks the cold trees. After hearing about the flying generals of Han Dynasty, they also stayed at Gaolan.
Reading on a Winter Night (Lu You)
Maoling was not as usual after his illness. He was thin, thin, short, and sparse.
The red candle regrets drinking from the long night, and the green lantern rejoices with the small New Year's book.
The sage has seen with his own eyes that life is not too late, and all anger and desire are in vain, and death is more than enough.
Don’t laugh when the house is in ruins and the walls are in ruins. My house is filled with string chants in the evening.
