Amid the din of crackers the old year is over.
The winds of spring bring warmth to the houses of civilians.
To every home the sun imparts its brighter rays.
Old peach wood charms against evil are replaced by new ones.

In addition to the sound of firecrackers, the spring wind warms Tusu.
Thousands of barren days always change new peaches for old ones.

The Lunar New Year’s Day
Amid the boom of firecrackers a year has come to an end,
And the spring wind has wafted warm breath to the wine.
While the rising sun shines over each and every household,
People would put up new peach wood charm for the old.
版本四(曾冲明译)
New Year’s Day
The merry noise of crackers sends away the old year.
The spring wind makes wine warm for the New Year.
How bright the sun shines on thousands of houses!
New charms replace the old ones to protect happiness.
