The short New Year's Day poem is as follows:
I drew a golden thread from the first ray of dawn in the New Year and let it pull up the hair buns of a group of flowery girls on the street. At this time, happiness And happiness is not extravagant, people's thick winter clothes are filled with them a bit exaggeratedly, the residual snow and thin ice kiss with countless joyful shoes.
An old couple supported each other and walked into the park in the middle of the street. It was the first warmest watercolor painting I saw years ago. A pair of young lovers kissed passionately in the chilling cold, with the ice and snow under their feet. Gradually melting, clusters of fresh love are quietly sprouting on the branches above the head, growing latently.
Meaning:
In the minds of ancient Chinese people, "Yuan" means the beginning; "Dan" means morning. "New Year's Day" means "the first day", which is January 1 of the Gregorian calendar. It is commonly known as "New Year" in most countries in the world. The two words "Yuan" and "Dan" together mean the first morning of the new year.
The name New Year's Day originated from ancient timekeeping and agricultural production. During the Yin and Shang Dynasties, in order to grasp the time and seasons to facilitate farming, the "astronomers" at that time already knew how to use the movement of the moon to measure time. The moon waxes and wanes once, which is designated as a month. The first day of the lunar month is the new day, and the fifteenth day is the new day. Look at the sun; the moon is full and missing twelve times, that is, twelve months, which is one year.
At that time, there was no term for "year", but the first month of the twelve months was designated as the first month; the first day of the first lunar month was the beginning of the year. It was called "Yuan Day" at that time, also called "New Year's Day". According to the annotation of "Erya": "Summer is the year, Shang is the day to worship, and Sunday is the year.
