The first day of the lunar month
[Song] Wang Anshi
The roar of firecrackers, the old year has passed; The warm spring breeze ushered in the New Year, and people happily drank the newly brewed Tu Su wine.
The rising sun sheds light on doors of each household, New peachwood charm is put up to replace the old.
January: Spring Festival, the first day of the first lunar month.
Tu Su: It refers to Tu Su wine. In ancient times, it was a custom to drink Tu Su wine during the Spring Festival. The whole family, old and young, can drink this wine soaked in Tu Su Cao, which can ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters, thus prolonging life.
Wang Anshi (102 1 year-1086), a native of Linchuan (now Linchuan District, Fuzhou City, Jiangxi Province), was a famous thinker, politician, writer and reformer in the Northern Song Dynasty.
January Day was written by Wang Anshi, a politician in the Northern Song Dynasty, during the implementation of the New Deal. Wang Anshi is full of confidence in reform, so this poem is full of cheerful and positive spirit. The reform has brought a bright future to the people, and I am extremely gratified and happy to see the victory of the reform and the improvement of people's lives.
