The first sentence. The first sentence of the sentence, “New Year’s Eve with the sound of firecrackers,” bids farewell to the old year and welcomes the New Year with the sound of firecrackers, exaggerating the lively and joyful atmosphere of the Spring Festival. The second sentence, “The spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu,” describes how people welcome the New Year. In the warm spring breeze, we drank Tusu wine happily. The third sentence, "Thousands of households are in the sun", writes that the light of the rising sun shines on thousands of households.
Use "戈戈" to express the brilliance of the sunrise. The scene symbolizes an infinitely bright and beautiful future. The concluding sentence "always replace old talismans with new peaches" not only describes the folk customs at that time, but also contains the meaning of removing the old and replacing them with the new.
"Peach talisman" is a kind of painting. There are statues of gods and peach boards hung on the door to ward off evil spirits. Every New Year's Day, the old peach charms are removed and replaced with new peach charms. "New peach charms for old ones" closely echoes the first sentence of firecrackers to send off the old year, vividly showing the scene of everything being renewed.
