Except at night
- (Song) Wear retro
Sweep away the huts and clean the dust, and worship the nine clouds with incense.
All things greet the spring and send the remnants of wax, and the end of the year is this evening.
The raw pot of fire roared bamboo, and the shou nian opened to listen to the pepper.
The wild visitors foresaw that the agricultural affairs were good, and the snow had not completely disappeared in the three winters.
I wish you all Chinese New Year's Eve happiness, and I wish you all good luck and happiness in the new year, and you will always smile and do what you want!
