Kulo nyaka uBusuku bangaphambi koNyaka oMtsha wamaTshayina, abantu belali yasePeach Blossom babencedisa ixhego nolutsha ukuba bazimele ezintabeni, yaye ixhego elalingqiba ngaphandle kwelali lambona lihamba ngeentonga, ibhegi ekhwapheni, nesilivere. iindevu zibaleka, namehlo akhe engathi yinkwenkwezi.Abanye abantu bale lali bavala iifestile batshixa iingcango, abanye bapakisha iibhegi zabo, abanye bekhokela iinkomo nezimvu, abantu bekhwaza amahashe kuyo yonke indawo, loo nto ibonakalisa ukungxama nokoyika.Ngeli xesha, ngubani na usenentliziyo yokukhathalela eli xhego licengayo.Kuphela lixhegokazi elisempuma yaloo lali lanika ixhego ukutya laza lamcebisa ukuba likhawuleze linyuke intaba ukuze liphephe irhamncwa elithi “Nian,” lancuma ixhego lathi, “Ukuba umazala uyasivumela. Ndihlale ekhaya ubusuku obunye, ngokuqinisekileyo ndiya kusithabatha esi silo saseNian.”Ixhegokazi lamjonga lothuka lambona ukuba unenkangeleko yomntwana, unomoya onamandla, nomoya ongaqhelekanga.Kodwa waqhubeka ecenga, elicenga ixhego ukuba lihleke lingathethi.Uninazala wayengenayo enye indlela ngaphandle kokulishiya ikhaya lakhe aye kuzimela ezintabeni.Ezinzulwini zobusuku, irhamncwa elithi "Nian" laqhekeza elalini.

Kufumaniseke ukuba umoya kule lali wawungafani nowangaphambili: umzi wexhegokazi osempuma welali, ucango luncanyathiselwe ngephepha elikhulu elibomvu, namakhandlela akuloo ndlu ekhazimle.Irhamncwa elithi “Nian” langcangcazela laza lakhala ngendlela engaqhelekanga.“Nian” waphosa iliso kwindlu kaninazala okomzuzwana, emva koko wakhwaza waza wagxwala.Xa kusondela emnyango, kwavakala isandi sokudubula ngequbuliso “sokudubula nokugqobhoza” ebaleni, yaye “uNian” wangcangcazela yaye akazange abe nabuganga bakuqhubela phambili.Kwavela ukuba "u-Nian" wayesaba kakhulu ubomvu, umlilo kunye nokuqhuma.Ngelixesha ucango lwendlu kamama beluvulekile, ndabona ixhego elinxibe ingubo ebomvu ebaleni lihleka.“UNian” wothuka waza wasaba.Ngosuku olulandelayo yayilusuku lokuqala lwenyanga yokuqala, yaye abantu ababebuyile kwindawo yokhuseleko bamangaliswa kukubona ilali ikhuselekile.Ngeli xesha, ixhegokazi laqonda ngesiquphe, lakhawuleza laxelela abahlali ngesithembiso sokucenga ixhego.Abahlali bagxalathelana ukuya kwixhegokazi, babona umnyango wendlu kaninazala uncanyathiselwe ngephepha elibomvu, imfumba yoqalo engekatsha ebaleni “isaqwebuka” iqhushumba, kukho namakhandlela abomvu. endlini bekusakhanya...

Ngenjongo yokuvuyisana nokuza kwaso, abahlali belali abachulumancisayo batshintsha banxiba iimpahla ezintsha neminqwazi, baza baya kwimizi yezalamane nezihlobo ukuya kubulisa.Ngokukhawuleza iindaba zasasazeka kwiilali ezikufutshane, yaye wonke umntu wayesazi ukuba aligxothe njani irhamncwa laseNian.Ukusukela ngoko, minyaka le ngoBusuku bangaphambi koNyaka oMtsha waseTshayina, umzi ngamnye uye wathumela ii-couplets ezibomvu kwaye wamisa iziqhushumbisi;umzi ngamnye unekhandlela elikhanyayo kwaye ulinde iminyaka.Ekuseni ngentseni yosuku lokuqala kunyaka wokuqala, nam kufuneka ndiye kwizalamane nezihlobo ndiyobulisa.Eli siko lisasazeke ngakumbi nangakumbi, kwaye liye laba ngowona mnyhadala wemveli ondilisekileyo kwintsomi yaseTshayina.
