On the fourth day, the north wind brought a heavy snow; The snow that God has given us comes on New Year's Eve, which indicates a bumper harvest in the coming year.
Before the glass half full of wine could be lifted to celebrate, I was still writing Fu Tao in cursive script under the lamp.
Translation:
At the beginning of the fourth watch, the north wind brought a heavy snow; The snow God gave us just arrived on the night when the wheel bridge was buried on New Year's Eve, indicating a bumper harvest in the coming year. Before half a glass of Tu Su wine was raised to celebrate, I also wrote a peach blossom symbolizing the Spring Festival in cursive under the lamp.
