New Year’s Day
In the midst of firecrackers goes the old year,
and the spring wind has wafted warm breath to the Tusu wine.
While the rising sun shines over each and every household,
People would put up new peachwood charm for the old.
Wang Anshi
A Spring Day
I seek for spring by riverside on a fine day,
O what refreshing sight does the boundless view bring?
I find the face of vernal wind in easy way:
Myriads of reds and violets reveal only spring.
Zhu Xi
Green in the spring winds
the south bank of the Yangtse
When will the bright moon
light my journey home
Wang Anshi
A small square pond an uncovered mirror
Where sunlight and clouds linger and leave
I asked how it stays so clear
It said spring water keeps flowing in
Zhu Xi
