Ancient poems about Spring Festival and Lantern Festival

Wang Anshi and Yuan Ri

The roar of firecrackers, the old year has passed; The warm spring breeze ushered in the New Year, and people happily drank the newly brewed Tu Su wine.

The rising sun sheds light on doors of each household, New peachwood charm is put up to replace the old.

Appreciation: Yuan Ri

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.

The first sentence, "One year old in firecrackers", sent away the old year and ushered in the new year in firecrackers. Sentences are closely related to the topic, rendering the lively and joyful atmosphere of the Spring Festival. The second sentence, "Spring Breeze Warms Tu Su", describes people drinking Tu Su wine in the warm spring breeze. The third sentence, "Every family is dying", is written that the glory of the rising sun shines on every family. Using "absolutely" to express the splendid scene at sunrise symbolizes the infinite bright future. In the conclusion, the phrase "Always exchange old symbols for new peaches" not only describes the folk custom at that time, but also contains the meaning of exchanging new cloth for old cloth. "Fu Tao" is a kind of red wooden board painted with gods, which is hung on the door to ward off evil spirits. Every new year's day, take off the old peach symbol and put on a new one. "New peaches for old symbols" closely echoes the first sentence of firecrackers to send the old year, vividly showing the scene of Vientiane renewal.

Except at night.

It's a matter of unity being empty, and Wan Li is lovesick overnight.

Worried that the crow dies, you will see the spring breeze again.

Tianjiayuan is full of dreams.

I returned to the north last night and set out from the east today;

I'm already strong, and I'm worried about agriculture without money.

Mulberry field cultivates father, lotus hoe follows shepherd boy;

Tian said that this year's climate is abundant.

Related to the Lantern Festival:

Cui Ye is on the last dollar night.

Don't rush the jade and leak the copper pot, and the iron lock will be opened all night;

Who can sit on the moon and smell the lights?

"The fifteenth night light of the first month" Zhang Hu

Thousands of doors are locked and brightly lit. In the middle of January, it moved to Beijing.

Three hundred wives dance with sleeves and write in the sky.

Ouyang Xiu's Cha Sheng Zi Yuan Xi

Last New Year's Eve, the city was full of lights.

The willow shoots on the moon make people faint.

On this New Year's Eve, the moon and lights are old.

I didn't see last year, and I shed tears on Man Chun's shirt sleeve.

This nostalgic poem "Cha Sheng Zi Yuan Xi" is one of Ouyang Xiu's masterpieces. Say, from Zhu's collection.

The first movie of Ci recalled the previous tryst, full of hope and happiness, which shows how happy their feelings are. The surrounding environment, whether it is flowers, lights, or the moon and willows, has become a witness of love, a beautiful confession and a picture of happiness in the future. Emotion and scenery are linked together, showing a beautiful artistic conception.

But happy times always become memories soon. In the next movie, the pen turns and time flies like electricity. In the blink of an eye, it is "This Year's Night", which pulls the hero's feelings back from his memories. "The Moon and the Lights Still" describes today's environment in a very general way. The word "still" leads people's thoughts to the description in the last film. The moonlight is still beautiful, and the lantern market is still as bright as day. The environment is still the same as last year, but what about people? This is the main theme of the hero and the main body of his lyric. The poet has nowhere to look for beauty in the crowd, and his mood is depressed, and his clothes are wet with bitter and helpless tears. In the old society, the weather was old and the clothes were old. How can a beautiful woman not be sad when she can't see tears? The last sentence "I didn't see it last year" contains infinite sadness, and the last sentence makes this sad feeling vivid and clear.

Things are different, and the contrast between the past and the present is bleak, so the beautiful scenery has also become a sad scene, and the night scene of the flower market intertwined with the moon and lights has also changed from bright to dark. Cold sadness pervades the world's next movie. Lights, flowers, moons and willows are nothing but the embodiment of desolation, the catalyst of sadness and the witness of lovesickness in the eyes of the protagonist. Beauty is hard to find now, and tears are also sad to see flowers, and tears are full of sleeves.

You never know, and it's hard to get what you want. The most touching thing is the sad, lingering and unforgettable acacia. Who has never longed for, who has never really pursued, can be helpless, and the figure of happiness always passes by. The joy of the old days still lingers in my heart, and the person who is infatuated with waiting will never come again in this life. There is nothing to do, but what about the swallows we have met before? Is the love that once existed really unpredictable? If so, are those beautiful young days in two of a kind drifting away in the years? No one expected, missed a season and missed a lifetime. Although the mountain alliance is there, the beauty is silent. What a sad regret and heartbreaking pain!

The ancients did this, and so do modern people. There is always too much sadness and regret in the world. Things are changing, and things are changing. Looking back, the former people are gone, and there are no heartbroken people here. The world of mortals is rolling, and there is a vast sea of people. There is nowhere to find beautiful women, so there are ten thousand kinds of tenderness, and who do you talk to?

Things are people, not everything, and tears flow first. Ren Jun "tears wet the sleeves of his spring shirt", but he has "not seen last year". How can this hurt him? Ouyang Xiu has many poems, but I love Cha Sheng, Zi Yuan and Xi alone. Singing "Last January's Night ..." over and over again, I was infinitely sad, and the faint sadness turned into a deep sigh: What love is there in this world that will make this endless sorrow endless?

On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month

Su Daowei (Tang)

Fire tree silver flower pass, star bridge lock.

The lamp tree shines brightly. As soon as the moon comes.

Prostitutes are ruined, and songs are ruined.

The capital has been abolished, so don't worry about the timing of leaking jade. Don't let the only midnight snack pass by in a hurry this year.

This poem is Su Weidao's masterpiece, and it is also one of the masterpieces of Yuan Xiao in past dynasties. It had a great influence on the poetry creation of later generations, and was written in the first year of Shenlong in the Tang Dynasty (705). Some scholars believe that this poem was written in the first year of Chang 'an (70 1).

The 15th day of the first month is a traditional festival in China-Lantern Festival. That night, social fires were held everywhere, which was very lively, especially in the capital where the emperor lived. Su Da Tang Xin Yu Pian: "On the occasion of the dragon, the capital looked at the sun in the first month, and the lights and shadows were decorated. Jin Wu is forbidden and allowed to travel at night. Noble relatives, as well as Li Xia Palace, all travel at night ... The scribes are thieves to record their affairs. Although there are hundreds of authors, Su Weidao, assistant minister of the Chinese book, Guo Lizhen, minister of the official department, and Cui Ye, an imperial adviser in the temple, are swan songs. "

The first sentence compares the lamp to "wahoo" and "silver flower", and then the lamp is colorful, showing all the brilliance of the lamp. The second sentence describes the environment for enjoying lanterns, which is not only a beautiful and spectacular natural scene, but also a political environment, that is, the happy atmosphere brought by citizens roaming after the Lantern Festival relaxed the restricted area. The third and fourth sentences always write about the grand occasion of watching lights, expressing the joy of riding horses every month. The fifth and sixth sentences describe the magnificent scenery of tourists in detail. Singing and dancing prostitutes are gorgeous, mixed with people of all colors, stepping on the tune of "plum blossom falls" and singing cheerful songs, pushing the joy of watching lanterns to a climax. The last two sentences use "I can't help it" and "I don't want to rush it" to express people's desire to keep the joy going, which effectively sets off the prosperous time of the early Tang Dynasty and makes people feel that the prosperous time is unfinished and the artistic effect is very strong. This poem is a model of the five laws in the early Tang Dynasty. Its works are steady, coordinated and closely structured. With its artistic charm of constant reading and constant innovation, the works show the poets of later generations and promote the maturity of five-character poems. The word "fire tree and silver flower" has also become a special idiom to describe holiday nights.
