Chinese New Year visit
(Ming dynasty) Wen Zhengming
People don't want to meet but send visit cards to each other,
In the morning my house is full of cards of famous people.
I send also several cards as others,
People will rather have virtual rites than simplity.
It is a tradition that people visit the relatives and the best friends in the Chinese New Year festival. However, many like to have large networks, so they can only send visit cards to most of their friends instead of visitting them. The poet expressed that he liked better simplity than virtual rite.
