Appreciation
of ancient Chinese poems about keeping the year old
Song/Wen
Tianxiang
Xiaonian
When Yan
Shuo meets poor people, I pray for the New Year in the south of the Yangtze
River.
Live and
enjoy life when you are old, and your life and death are fate.
The crows
are noisy in the snow on thousands of mountains, and they are flying thousands
of miles into the sky.
I had no
idea when I went out, but I looked around at a loss.

Xun
Gengzi
sent the stove to him
A chicken
is made of gum and candies, and a piece of clothing is used to offer incense.
If there
is nothing growing in the house, there are only a few yellow sheep.
Qing/Jiachen
Taking
over the stove on the night of Shangyuan
Why is
the heart of the stove charming? The work is for food and drink.
The
Japanese relatives raised their soldiers and sacrificed the dead sheep's heads.
Trampling
on the banners, the lights are shining brightly in the moonlight.
Because
of the hatred and resentment, it is hard to find profit.
Ming/Xie
Chengju
Farewell
message to God
The red
crow fell into the city and the dust became dim, and people were in a hurry to
rush to the sky to eat.
The cook
and the diners walked quickly, and Juanchen and Hui were the kitchen doormen.
Zhang Yan
and his cloth baskets held up lamps and candles to send the gods to the
emperor's palace in heaven.
Yellow
and red glutinous rice cakes are spread on the table, and green and purple
peppers are piled on the plates.
There are
clouds of smoke in the sky, and the horses and horses are dismounted, and the
mist floats in the orchids and sun in a trance.
The
messenger is full and the horse is fed. I want to be attentive and not
sluggish.
The
stars, flags, clouds and bridles are like the wind, and the
ninety-thousand-thousand-passage sky is here.
Cyanqiu
and red horses rushed to Ye Ting, and the Emperor Jishou was preparing to
present his affairs.
It is
necessary to make public statements not to hide from guests, and those who are
disobedient will surrender and those who are rebellious will cause evil
spirits.
There are
many disputes in public offices, and there are many kinds of trivial matters in
private affairs.
Take a
trip to God once a year to remember twenty-four in the human world.
Sigh!
There will be more things happening in Gidian this year. May God open his mouth
like a hanging river.

Dacheng
Poems
about Stove Sacrifice
According
to ancient legend, on the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, the
Kitchen God looked up to the sky and wanted to say something.
The
clouds, the carriages, the wind, the horses, the little ones linger, and there
are cups and plates in the house for the feast.
The pig's
head is overcooked, the double fish is fresh, and the bean paste is made of
loose rice bait.
The man
offers his daughter a cup of wine, and the king is happy when he pours wine and
burns the paper stove.
Don't
listen to your servants' fights, don't get angry when cats and dogs touch you.
I will
send you to the gate of heaven drunk and full. Don't repeat the cloud with a
long spoon and a short spoon. The market woman comes to beg for profit.
Tang/Cao
Song
New
Year's Eve
The
remaining wax is gone again, and the east wind should gradually be heard.
One night
is still a few hours, and two years old wants to be divided equally.
When the
darkness falls, we fight, and when the spring blossoms, the fragrance blooms.
In the
Ming Dynasty, I hold wine from afar and wish Yaojun together first.
Tang/Taizong
stay up
late
The
twilight scene is in the Xianfang Palace, and the palace is gorgeous in the old
age.
The cold
leaves the winter snow, and the warmth brings in the spring breeze.
The steps
are fragrant and the flowers are red.
Let’s
celebrate the new year together and see you off all night long.
Tang/Gaozong
stay up
late
Tonight
the winter season is over, and the beautiful scenery is new.
The
remaining flowers are covered with snow on the ground, and the strips contain
warm air.
The buds
on the ribbon are still tender, and the ice platform has been carved.
The thin
red plums are cold in color, while the light green willows are spring-like.
It takes
two quarters to see each other off and greet each other, and one hour to warm up
to each other.
Song/Su
Shi
stay up
late
Desire
hangs over the years, like going to the snake.
Half of
the repair scales are gone, how can I cover them if I remove my mind?
If you
want to tie it to its tail, even though you are diligent, you know what you can
do!
The
children were forced not to sleep, but stayed together all night and had a good
time.
Don't
sing the rooster in the morning, and be afraid of the drums even more.
After
sitting for a long time, the lights dimmed and I watched the Beidou tilt.
Will
there be no year next year? Fear of wasting time on worries.
If you
work hard today, you can still be proud of the young man.
