Poems about the first day of the first lunar month

" Farmer's New Year's Day " by Meng Haoran

Last night the Big Dipper returned to the north, today the new year begins in the east;
I am old enough to be an official, but without a salary I still worry about farming.
The father who tills the mulberry field, the shepherd boy who carries a hoe;
Farmers predicted the weather and all said that this would be a good year.
" New Year's Day " (Yulouchun) Mao Pang <br/>The lotus leaks all over the year, and the frozen wine sinks into the green well;
The chill in the early morning still deceives people, but the slender spring arrives first on the willows.
The beauty advises a thousand years of longevity, and the cypress leaves and pepper blossoms make her green sleeves fragrant;
There are few friends in the deep land of drunkenness, only the God of Spring is an old friend.
" New Year 's Greetings " by Wen Zhengming<br/>I do not ask for a meeting, only to send greetings, and every morning the name cards come to my humble home.
I also threw a few pieces of paper along with others. People in the world dislike simple things but not empty ones.
" New Year's Day " by Wang Anshi <br/>The year ends with the sound of firecrackers, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu.
On New Year's Day, people in every household replace the old charms with new ones.
