The spring breeze brings warmth and the sun rises. Every household lights firecrackers, drinks Tusu wine, and is busy taking off the old peach charms on the door and replacing them with new ones with the door god on them. The author selected these most typical festive scenes during the New Year to show a picture of folk customs with a strong flavor of life. Song people especially liked to express their political ambitions and philosophical views through poetry. Wang Anshi, as prime minister at this time, was carrying out drastic reforms. Therefore, the lines of this poem are filled with his firm belief and optimism in eradicating current abuses and implementing new laws. It expresses his proud and contented mood. It can also reflect his attitude towards governing.
