Poetry of ancient people’s New Year greetings

New Year's greetings

[Ming Dynasty·Wen Zhengming]

I don't ask for a meeting, but for a visit, and the famous papers come to fill the house.

I also throw in a few pieces of paper with others. The world is too simple but not too empty.

I didn’t ask for a meeting, I just wanted to send greetings through greetings, so my house was filled with all kinds of expensive greetings in the morning. I also follow the trend and send greetings to others. People will only dislike the simplicity, but not the empty courtesy.

Yuan Day

Song Wang Anshi

The sound of firecrackers marks the end of the year, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu.

Thousands of households always exchange old talismans for new peaches.

Amidst the roaring sound of firecrackers, the old year has passed; the warm spring breeze brings the new year, and people happily drink the newly brewed Tusu wine.

The rising sun shines on thousands of households, and they are all busy taking down the old peach charms and replacing them with new ones.
