中國元旦古詩
元日(玉樓春)——(宋)毛滂
一年滴盡蓮花漏，碧井屠蘇沉凍酒。
曉寒料峭尚欺人，春態苗條先到柳。
佳人重勸千長壽，柏葉椒花芬翠袖。
醉鄉深處少相知，只與東君偏故舊。
甲午元旦——(清)孔尚任
蕭疏白發不盈顛，守歲圍爐竟廢眠。
剪燭催干消夜酒，傾囊分遍買春錢。
聽燒爆竹童心在，看換桃符老興偏。
元旦試筆(選一)——(明)陳獻章
天上風云慶會時，廟謨爭遺草茅知。
鄰墻旋打娛賓酒，稚子齊歌樂歲詩。
老去又逢新歲月，春來更有好花枝。
晚風何處江樓笛，吹到東溟月上時。
丁卯元日——(清)錢謙益
一樽歲酒拜庭除，稚子牽衣慰屏居。
奉母猶欣餐有肉，占年更喜夢維魚。
鉤簾欲連新巢燕，滌硯還疏舊著書。
旋了比鄰雞黍局，并無塵事到吾廬。
