Original poem:
The first day of the lunar month
Song Dynasty: Wang Anshi
The roar of firecrackers, the old year has passed; The warm spring breeze ushered in the New Year, and people happily drank the newly brewed Tu Su wine.
The rising sun sheds light on doors of each household, New peachwood charm is put up to replace the old.
Firecracker: the sound made by the ancients when they burned bamboo. It was used to ward off evil spirits and later evolved into setting off firecrackers. One year old except: one year has passed. Except, passed away. Tu Su: It refers to Tu Su wine, and drinking Tu Su wine is also a custom in the ancient New Year in China. On the first day of the New Year, the whole family drinks this wine soaked in Tu Su grass to ward off evil spirits, avoid plague and live a long life.

Wang Anshi is not only a politician, but also a poet. Many of his poems about scenery and things contain strong political content. Through the description of New Year's Day and the new atmosphere of New Year's Day, this poem expresses its ambition, optimism and self-confidence of ruling reform, eliminating the old and enriching the people.
Wang Anshi's quick thinking was called one of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties by later generations. In addition to his literary attainments, Wang Anshi also studied traditional Confucian classics and founded a school with outstanding influence at that time-Gong Jing Xue Xin. His thoughts had a great influence on Confucian classics in Song and Ming Dynasties, and received a lot of attention at that time.
Wang Anshi not only gained worldwide recognition in literature, but also made great achievements in politics, which had a far-reaching influence on China in the Song Dynasty. He is a scholar in Li Qing No.2 Middle School, and served as an official in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Henan provinces. During these twenty years, he has been in extensive contact with social life and has a profound understanding of various social problems.
Wang Anshi's basic thought is rooted in not blindly following some authority, not believing in unchangeable dogma, and having a clear understanding of reality and correct technology and calculation when carrying out reform. I hope to "commercialize fiscal revenue on a large scale."
