The first chapter of this poem points out the reason and time of the banquet, the second chapter renders the solemnity of etiquette, the joy of the banquet, the beauty of music and the scene of the banquet, and the last chapter wishes the poet a happy New Year.
The Tang Dynasty was the heyday of poetry development, during which many poems describing New Year's Day appeared.
Lu You, the fourth outstanding figure in the early Tang Dynasty, wrote Yuan Ri;
"There is no secondary title in the official position, and there is a foreign minister in farming. People sing wine and dance in the Tang Dynasty. Grass fans have three paths, and the scenery moves around. I hope that it will be so long and there will be new phenology every year. "
Facing the new year and the new scene, the poet is full of joy. Tang Dynasty poet Li Yuan:
"Jade is coming for the New Year, and it is full of people from all corners of the country. Fire has two sides, and it needs five doors; Xue Rui sells yuan tiles, and Xiangguang is in Japan. Tian Yan dare not look at it, saying that it is a memorial service. "
With fresh and fluent language, it depicts an elegant and grand palace New Year picture.
Of course, when the new year comes, those who are exiled are particularly sad. For example, Song Wenzhi, a victim of political struggle in the early Tang Dynasty, was exiled in his later years and had a New Year picture:
"The New Year will only deepen my desire and increase the lonely tears of an exile. People who are exiled in old age rush ahead of me in spring. The monkey came down from the mountain and pestered me. I think of Jia Yi, who taught here and died here. I don't know what my term will be. "
"The monkey came down from the mountain and pestered me, Liu Jiang * * * the wind and smoke."
It can be described as a rare good sentence in the early Tang Dynasty. You can't write without personal experience of exile and relegation. However, Jia Yi was relegated to Changsha, but he died in the same relegated place with Jia Yi, which has become the slander of Song Dynasty. The difference is that Jia Yi died of depression and cried for the whole world. Song died in Qinzhou, a relegated place, which was despised by the world.
Bai Juyi wrote 2 in "Five Drinks on January 7th, Seven Years":
"Old sorrow adds years, and I am happy to enter the spring. In the seventh row of the opening year, only a few people! "
On the occasion of saying goodbye to the old year and welcoming the new year, other old people are sad that time is running out, but he is not afraid of aging and welcomes the arrival of the new year happily. This calm state of mind can't help but convince people. The whole poem expresses his great ambition to enter the new year without fear of aging. The poet Gao Shi wrote a poem "New Year's Eve", describing the mood of ancient poets on New Year's Eve:
"Hotel cold light alone sleepless, why mournful? My hometown is thinking thousands of miles tonight, and it is another year of the Ming Dynasty. "
When a poet is in a foreign land, he will naturally feel lonely and homesick, but this night of "sleeping alone", "sad" and "thinking for thousands of miles" will increase by another year tomorrow, which contains the sadness that the poet has accomplished nothing year after year. Meng Haoran wrote the poem "Return to Yuan Day":
