Spring Festival

year

Chinese used to take the Spring Festival as the starting point of the year, the so-called resignation of the old and the new. As the coordinates of the years and the sustenance of emotions, the Spring Festival comes to the life of Chinese over and over again. Therefore, every time the Spring Festival comes, the talented ancient literati will have a lot of feelings about the passage of time and the vicissitudes of the years, of course, more is the expectation of the New Year. The Spring Festival has achieved many good poems.

Among all the ancient poems describing the Spring Festival, the most famous and widely circulated is undoubtedly from the Song Dynasty politician and literary scholar Wang Anshi's "Yuan Ri": "In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu." Thousands of households always exchange new peaches for old charms. "On the first day of the first lunar month, the poet summed up the lively and festive characteristics of the Spring Festival at that time in concise and clear language, full of joy, joy and expectation of retiring the old and welcoming the new. In particular, the first two sentences, from multiple angles such as hearing, vision, and taste, give people a feeling of jubilation, peace and excitement, which makes people full of beautiful hopes for the new year.

Li Shimin of Tang Taizong, who was a martial artist, created the great cause of "the rule of Zhenguan", and when he was inspired by the Taiping and prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, he wrote in his "Shou Nian": "The Twilight View Of the Fang Hall, the Magnificent Palace of the Year." Cold resigns from winter snow, and warmth brings into the spring wind. Step fu sumesu, disc flower roll candle red. Its joy is new and old, and it is sent to the night. "The poems write about the magnificence of the royal palace under the sunset, the festive atmosphere of the candles in the palace on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the scenes of the monarchs feasting and celebrating the new year and entertaining all night. When Tang Taizong composed this poem, Tang Flourished and the World Was At Peace. Chinese New Year's Eve keep the new year, and the inside and outside of the palace present a prosperous scene of welcoming the New Year and retiring the old year. How could this scene not make his poetry flourish.

Du Zhenyan, one of the "Four Friends of the Article" of the Tang Dynasty, was a 35-year-old zhongjinshi and a Luoyang servant, which naturally meant distant mountains and ambitions. Therefore, his "Keeping the Age" has a lot of interest, such as blazing joy: "In the winter of the season, the night is followed by the New Year, and the emperor and the king and the sun hold the royal feast." The palace que galaxy whispers the trees, and the temple lights and candles on the sky. Playing the strings of the festival plum wind into, the game to explore the junbai wine transmission. If you want to sing to Zhengyuan long life, stay and enjoy sending it to the spring. "The laughter, the lights and the songs in the poem are all vividly described and beautiful.

It is natural for everyone to celebrate the new year and have a good night, but what kind of scene is it like to be alone in the old age? We might as well travel back in time and enter the emotional world of the Chinese New Year's Eve night land tour: "The north wind blows the snow four more at the beginning, the Jiarui Heavenly Sect and the year is removed." Half a lamp of Tu Su Yu was not lifted, and the small grass in front of the lamp wrote a peach symbol. The first two sentences write that when the first day of the fourth day came, the north wind brought a heavy snow. The poet remembers that the heavens have blessed the world with snow not sooner rather than later, and that it is the night of Chinese New Year's Eve that the snow is coming, and that the snow indicates a good harvest for the coming year. Ruixue in the mega year met a festive Chinese New Year's Eve naturally wanted to celebrate, the cup containing half of Tu Su wine had not yet been raised to drink, and the poet first wrote a peach charm to welcome spring in small cursive characters under the lamp. Chinese New Year's Eve night, we saw a different kind of nostalgia for an ancient scholar who remembered Cangsheng.

Also alone in addition to the night, Bai Juyi wrote "Except for the Night" on the eve of the Chinese New Year's Eve of the 60-year-old Honmei year, shiyun: "Sick eyes and less sleep are not keeping the age, and the old heart is full of feelings and spring." After the fire was sold out, there were sixty people with flat heads. Although the poet has the feeling of the passage of time and the shortness of life, he is still indifferent and calm, and his mind is pleasant. The Spring Festival for him is a station in the mileage of life and a turning point in the future. Bai Juyi was considered to have a high life expectancy among ancient poets, which was due to his attitude of smiling at the world and calmly and leisurely.

The Spring Festival is the hometown's call to relatives and a festive moment for family reunion, but the mood and scene of the wandering wanderers who are wandering around to keep the age are naturally particularly desolate. We can feel this thick melancholy from the Poem of the Tang Dynasty Dai Shulun's "Except for the Overnight Stay in the Stone Station": "Who asks each other in the hotel, the cold lamp is amiable." The year will come to an end, and no one will return. Little sad about the past, laughing at this body. Sad and fading sideburns, tomorrow is spring again. "The poet is thousands of miles away from home Chinese New Year's Eve night, alone with the cold lamp, and the poet's state of mind can be imagined." Although lonely and self-deprecating, the last sentence is still full of hope for tomorrow. The late Yuan and early Ming poet Yuan Kai wrote in the poem "Chinese New Year's Eve in The Guest": "What is the night of this night?" He said that his hometown "a cup of pepper leaf wine, not a thousand lines of tears", also expressed the coldness and loneliness of the wandering children in other places.

Whether it is the joy of reunion or the story of loneliness, the ancients' Spring Festival lyrics are more expressed for the New Year and the future. "The old year is over, and the new year is coming tomorrow." Sorrow follows the bucket handle, and the northeast looks forward to the spring return. (Tang "Qinzhou Shou Nian") is Zhang Rui's ardent desire for tomorrow when the stars move with the bucket and the old and the new alternate; "A message to the end of the world, a light cold bottom with sorrow." The spring breeze is not far away, only on the east side of the house. (Ming, "Except for the Cold of The Night in Taiyuan") is a poetic expression of Yu Qian Chinese New Year's Eve's poetic expression of his optimistic attitude of living in the cold far away, but firmly believing that spring is not far away; "but he will be poor and long-lived, and he will not hesitate to drink Tu Su at the end." (Song "Except for the Night Wild Stay outside Changzhou City") is a true portrayal of Su Dongpo's Chinese New Year's Eve staying on a lonely boat in the wilderness during his debasement, but still showing a bold and free temperament; "The tide is flat on both sides of the strait, and the wind is hanging on the sails." The sea is born in the night, and the river spring enters the old year. (Tang "Under the Mountain of Cibei Gushan") is Wang Wan's outstanding work of sending love to the scenery and lyrical nostalgia with the scenery, and this poem that rises with the majestic atmosphere of the Poetry Of the Tang Dynasty is a vast and majestic Chinese New Year's Eve map, implying that new things will replace the philosophy of life of old things, showing the poet's grand and broad vision and positive attitude towards life.

Chinese New Year's Eve years old, poetic and immortal. With this exuberant poetry, let us walk with vigor, stride forward, and walk into the angry Lunar New Year together.
