New Year's Day

Wang Anshi

Amid the boom of firecrackers a year has come to an end,

And the spring wind has wafted warm breath to the wine.

While the rising sun shines over each and every household,

People would put up new peachwood charm for the old.

《元日》 王安石

爆竹聲中一歲除，東風送暖入屠蘇。

千門萬戶曈曈日，爭插新桃換舊符。

New Year's Day
Wang Anshi

Amid the boom of firecrackers a year has come to an end,
And the spring wind has wafted warm breath to the wine.
While the rising sun shines over each and every household,
People would put up new peachwood charm for the old.
