北宋：王安石

Northern Song Dynasty-Wang Anshi

爆竹声中一岁除，春风送暖入屠苏。

千门万户曈曈日，总把新桃换旧符。

In addition to the sound of firecrackers, the spring wind warms Tusu.

Thousands of barren days always change new peaches for old ones.

初升的太阳照耀着千家万户，他们都忙着把旧的桃符取下，换上新的桃符。

In the roaring sound of firecrackers, the old year has passed, and the warm spring breeze brings the new year, people are happy to drink the newly brewed Tusu liquor.

The rising sun shines on thousands of families, who are busy taking off old peach charms and replacing them with new ones.

创作背景：

Creative background:

此诗作于作者初拜相而始行己之新政时。1067年宋神宗继位，起用王安石为江宁知府，旋即诏为翰林学士兼侍讲，为摆脱宋王朝所面临的政治、经济危机以及辽、西夏不断侵扰的困境。

This poem was written when the author first worshipped and began his new policy. In 1067, Shenzong succeeded to the throne, and Wang Anshi was appointed as the prefecture of Jiangning Zhifu.

Immediately, he was a Bachelor of Hanlin and a lecturer. In order to get rid of the political and economic crisis facing the Song Dynasty and the dilemma of constant intrusion of Liao and Xia Dynasty.

1068年，神宗召王安石“越次入对”，王安石即上书主张变法。次年任参知政事，主持变法。同年新年，王安石见家家忙着准备过春节，联想到变法伊始的新气象，有感创作了此诗。

In 1068, Shenzong summoned Wang Anshi to "go beyond the times" and Wang Anshi wrote a book advocating reform. The following year, he served as counselor and presided over the reform.

In the New Year of the same year, Wang Anshi was busy preparing for the Spring Festival at home, associating with the new atmosphere at the beginning of the reform, and wrote this poem with feelings.
