[ Brief Analysis]
This poem describes the lively, joyful and moving scene of the New Year's Day, and expresses the author's thoughts and feelings of innovating politics.
the first sentence, "one year old is removed in the sound of firecrackers", sent away the old year and ushered in the new year in the sound of firecrackers. The sentence is closely related to the topic, rendering the lively and joyful atmosphere of the Spring Festival. The second sentence, "Spring Breeze Warms Tu Su", describes people drinking Tu Su wine in the warm spring breeze. The third sentence, "Thousands of families are dying", writes that the glory of the rising sun shines on thousands of families. Use "Wan Wan" to express the brilliant scene at sunrise, symbolizing the infinite bright and beautiful prospect. Concluding the sentence "Always change the new peach for the old symbol" not only describes the folk customs at that time, but also contains the meaning of replacing the old cloth with the new one. "Taofu" is a kind of mahogany board painted with gods and hung on the door to ward off evil spirits. Take off the old peach symbol and replace it with a new one on New Year's Day every year. "New peaches for old symbols" closely echoes the first sentence of firecrackers to send the old year, vividly showing the scene of Vientiane's renewal.
Wang Anshi is both a politician and a poet. Many of his poems depicting scenery and objects contain strong political content. Through the description of the new atmosphere on New Year's Day and New Year's Day, this poem expresses its ambition and optimism and self-confidence of being in power and reforming, eliminating the old and enriching the people.
The whole poem is light in writing, bright in color, and the foreground of the eyes is in harmony with the feelings in the heart. It is really a good poem with profound implications.
