Drifting for years
Trekked several degrees in spring and autumn
We will eventually return to our hometown
Settle your heart
Cold night guests come to tea as wine,
Bamboo stove soup boiling fire first red.
——(Southern Song Dynasty) Excerpt from Du Lei's "Cold Night"
Gossip all night
The complaint is not enough
Tea is not wine
The mellow aroma of the reunion
It's also enough to get people drunk
No wonder it is strictly condensed, spring and winter are turned over by the first month.

The coldest time of the year has arrived
Will spring be far away?
New year

In front of him is Xiao Suo, and in his heart is hope
Even if winter is cold, may you always have warmth to look forward to
