A message to travelers from the far end of the world, expressing sorrow in light of the cold.

The spring breeze is not far away, only at the east end of the house.

Interpretation:

Please send a letter to your friends living far away to tell them that although the weather is cold in front of you, this coldness is nothing and you don’t have to worry about it.

The spring breeze has blown, not far from us, just to the east of our house.

2. "Tian Jia Yuan Day" Tang Dynasty: Meng Haoran

The battle returned to the north last night, and today we are rising east.

I have become an official in my old age, but I am still worried about farmers without a salary.

The father plowed the fields, and the shepherd boy followed him with the hoe.

The Tian family accounts for the climate, and the emperor said that this year will be good.

Interpretation:

Last night the handle of the Big Dipper turned to the east, and this morning the year begins again.

I am already forty years old. Although I do not have an official position, I am still worried about farming.

Close to the farmers working in the fields full of mulberry trees, carrying hoes and working together with the shepherd boys.

Farmers speculate on this year’s harvest and say it will be a bumper year.

3. "Great Night Works" Tang Dynasty: Gao Shi

The hotel is sleepless under the cold light, and the guests' hearts are filled with sadness.

I miss my hometown tonight, and I will see another year of frost on my temples tomorrow.

Interpretation:

Staying in an inn, alone in front of the broken lamp, unable to sleep. For some unknown reason, the poet's mood became very sad and sad.

On this New Year’s Eve, imagine how people in my hometown miss themselves thousands of miles away, and tomorrow they will be one year older and have a lot of new gray hair.

4. "New Year's Eve" Song Dynasty: Wen Tianxiang

The sky and the earth are empty, and the years are passing by;

The end of the road is stormy, and the poor side is full of snow and frost.

Life is about to end with the years, and the body and the world are forgotten;

There is no more to kill Su Meng, and the night is still young.

Interpretation:

The space between heaven and earth is empty, and time is openly leaving me.

At the end of his life, he was frightened by wind and rain, and experienced ice, snow and frost in a remote frontier.

Now that life is coming to an end just like this year, I and my life experiences will also be forgotten.

From now on, I will never dream of drinking Tusu wine on New Year’s Day. I can only turn on the lights in the long night.

5. "New Year's Works" Tang Dynasty: Liu Changqing

The New Year is in the heart of the country, and the sky is alone with tears.

When you grow old, you live among others, and when you return in spring, you come first.

The mountains and apes are in the same day and evening, and the rivers and willows are surrounded by wind and smoke.

It’s like Changsha Fu, a few years from now.

Interpretation:

As the New Year approaches, I feel homesick even more intensely, and I can’t help but shed tears at the independent horizon.

When I reached old age and was demoted to others, spring returned in a hurry before me.

The apes and monkeys in the mountains spend the dusk with me, and the willows by the river share my sorrow.

I have suffered the same fate as the Grand Master. How long will it take to end this life?
