Enjoy the New Year
When the Spring Festival arrives, what kind of blessing is the best?
I think that the blessing of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new is the most "vulgar", but it is also the most soothing to the hearts of mortals.
So how can this most common blessing be said to be both blessed and poetic?
This unpopular poem "New Year" by a Song Dynasty poet is worth reading. The poet uses ordinary words to express the simplest but most difficult blessing in the world.
After a busy year, reading this poem that soothes the hearts of mortals will definitely be full of emotion.
New Year
[ Song ] Zhan Chu
The years are new and spring, and the spring is still the old year.
May the old be rid of the old and give birth to new ideas, and the end of the new year will be new day by day.
Translation] The years pass, the four seasons are renewed, and in the blink of an eye, it is a new spring. In the beautiful days of welcoming the New Year, the people around you are still the old people.
I hope to forget all the troubles of the past and meet the challenges of the future with a new mood. With this mindset, every day of the new year will be a new day.
The poet Zhan Chu was a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, whose character was Yuan, and was a native of Xiuning (now Anhui). The year of birth and death is unknown, but it is known that he was born around 1231 A.D. and was an official during the reign of Emperor Lizong of the Song Dynasty. He served as a county lieutenant, and was later recommended as Taixuelu, and after seven years as an official, he was dismissed for offending the powerful people in the court.
After returning home, he began to study Zhu Xi's science, which he had always admired. According to records, he "took it as his responsibility to explain the Tao with the famous sages at home, and took pleasure in writing books and sayings", which shows his dedication to learning, so later generations also called him a physicist of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Because it lives in Liutang in Xiuning, its poetry collection is also called "Liutang Collection". And because he built a Hansong Pavilion in the pine forest, and often read in the pavilion, his book is also called "Hansong Pavilion Collection".
The whole poem is only twenty-eight words, the language is concise, and the poetry is simple. Why is this poem said to be "the most soothing to the hearts of mortals"? Let's break down the poem one by one.
The years are new and spring, and the spring is still the old year.
In the first two sentences, the author wrote that the years are like flowing, the new year has arrived, and in the season of renewal of Vientiane, it has ushered in a new beginning. However, at the beginning of the new year, we are still the ones who have welcomed the old year. Perhaps our faces have been a little vicissitudes, but our hearts still hold that longing and hope for the future.
"New Year" contrasts with "Old Year", while "Welcoming New Year" and "Old Year" read full of charm. As the seasons change and the years pass, we will hope to meet new opportunities and new things, forget all the troubles and regrets of the past, and meet the future with a new mood. But there is only one thing that we don't like about the new, and that is the old people.
The deceased can be a close relative, a friend or a loved one. They are the most important emotions in our lives: family, friendship, and love. No matter how the world changes, how the sea is changing, we all hope that the deceased will always be by our side. Even Ouyang Xiu, a university scholar, will sigh and want to keep the old man: It's a pity that next year's flowers will be better, who do you know with whom?
May the old be rid of the old and give birth to new ideas, and the end of the new year will be new day by day.
The last two sentences are the author's New Year's wishes, and they are also the author's New Year's wishes to us.
The past year, whether happy or sad, has passed. May we be able to get rid of those old ideas and ideas and give birth to new ideas and reflections. This is the ideological "farewell to the old and welcome the new", if there is such a mentality, then every next day, we will feel that it is the new year.
In an Internet slang, that is: I am in the dust with the old things, and I will still smile in the coming year.
A new year, a new atmosphere, and a new mentality are the keys to everything.
The whole poem is concise and concise, using four "new" and two "old", full of blessings, highlighting the good wishes of "removing the old" and "welcoming the new".
The years are new and spring, and the spring is still the old year. Time flies, and the new year is coming. I hope that the old people are still the same, and the new year is new! May the old be rid of the old and give birth to new ideas, and the end of the new year will be new day by day. We are willing to forget the unhappiness of the past, and move towards a new journey with a new state of mind, and meet new challenges and opportunities.
May we not only be able to renew every day in the new year, but also continue to grow and progress in the baptism of the years.
