日迈月征，朝暮轮转。
山海不待人，四季自轮回。
年终岁尾，深感时光的无情，
新年伊始，我们又开始追寻新的确定性。
大道至简，
纵然岁月川流，惟愿顺遂无忧。
The sun rises and the moon rises,
and rotates at dawn and dusk.
Mountains and seas do not pamper people, and the four seasons cycle on their own.
At the end of the year,
the ruthlessness of time is deelpy felt.
At the beginning of the new year,
we are once again seeking new certainty.
The greatest truths are the simplest,
Even though time flows by,
may everything go smoothly without worries.
