What does the poem "Yuan Ri" mean?

In the sound of firecrackers, people bid farewell to the old year and ushered in the new year. In spring, there is a warm spring breeze here, and people enjoy drinking Tu Su wine and feel very comfortable. Every house is illuminated by the sun. During the Spring Festival, every household will change the old peach symbol on the door into a new one.

This poem was written when the author first worshipped the Prime Minister and started his New Deal. 1067, Song Shenzong succeeded to the throne, and Wang Anshi was appointed as the magistrate of Jiangning, and then he was appointed as a bachelor and lecturer of Hanlin. In order to get rid of the political and economic crisis faced by the Song Dynasty and the constant intrusion of Liao and Xixia, in A.D. 1068, the gods called Wang Anshi to "enter the DPRK again and again", and Wang Anshi immediately wrote a letter advocating political reform.

The following year, he devoted himself to politics and presided over the political reform. During the Spring Festival in the same year, Wang Anshi saw that every household was busy preparing for the Spring Festival, and he wrote this poem with emotion when he thought of the new atmosphere at the beginning of the political reform.

This poem describes the moving scene of excitement, joy and Vientiane renewal on New Year's Day, and expresses the author's thoughts and feelings of reforming politics. Wang Anshi is not only a politician, but also a poet. Many of his poems about scenery and things contain strong political content. Through the description of New Year's Day and the new atmosphere of New Year's Day, this poem expresses its ambition, optimism and self-confidence of ruling reform, eliminating the old and enriching the people.
