This year is exhausted tonight, next year will be reminded tomorrow.
The cold goes with the night, and the spring comes with the fifth watch.

May it grow like this, and the phenology will be new every year.
——"Yuan Ri Shu Huai" Tang Lu Zhaolin
My official position is low and has not yet reached a middle-level official position. I still return home to farm and live in seclusion as a minister.
Today, people sing and drink wine to celebrate the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, and the early flowers dance to welcome the spring day of the Tang Dynasty.
The green grass shades the path leading to the living room, and the beautiful scenery shocked my neighbors.
I hope that life will always be as happy as the first day, and the scenery is so fresh every year and every year.

In the five years since I came home, I have seen the appearance of spring five times. I am sick and old, and I am often bullied by the delicate and beautiful spring.
The tips of the drooping branches of the willow tree have just given birth to tender green leaves, and the bright red buds of the peach branches are just beginning to bloom.
The bead curtains are rolled up high, and the spring brilliance in the pavilion delights my heart. I travel with a stick, and the spring breeze in the mountains and rivers is intoxicating.
The early spring of the new year coincides with abundant spring rains. Although last year was good, it is not as prosperous as this year.
Tonight is New Year's Eve, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve.
Firecrackers frighten disabled dreams, cold stirrups sleep alone.
The wind and frost have exhausted the wax, and the plums and willows have the first spring.
It's not a pity to caress the scenery infinitely.

Tonight is New Year's Eve, and tomorrow is a new year.
The sound of firecrackers woke me up from my dream, and only a cold lamp illuminated me to sleep alone.
The wind and frost urged the twelfth lunar month to pass as soon as possible, and plum blossoms and willows were the first to know the news of spring.
Looking at these scenes, my heart is surging, how can I not feel disappointed in my heart.
