Inspired by Wang Anshi (1021-1086), the renowned Song Dynasty poet, this musical composition captures the Lunar New Year's spirit of transition and hope. Crafted nearly 1000 years after the original poem, the song translates the poet's vivid metaphors of firecrackers, spring winds, and renewal into a melodic celebration that bridges centuries of cultural tradition, echoing the timeless rhythms of festive rebirth. 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 the sounds of firecrackers, the year departs, as China’s Lunar New Year warms every heart. Cracks of fire bid the old year goodbye, Spring’s breath melts through Turso wine’s sigh. A golden dawn bathes countless homes in light, New charms guard bright doors, blessings alight. Golden dawn, golden cheer, Welcome China’s Lunar New Year! With hearts united, spirits high, Under the glowing, endless sky. Cracks of fire bid the old year goodbye, Spring’s breath melts through Turso wine’s sigh. A golden dawn bathes countless homes in light, New charms guard bright doors, blessings alight. Children’s laughter fills the air, Lanterns dance beyond compare. Golden joy in every sight, The new year rises, pure and bright. 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。
