4. Meng Jiangnv is crying at the Great Wall.

According to legend, in the Qin Dynasty, an old Mengman and an old Manjiang were neighbors separated by a wall. One spring, Meng planted a gourd seed on the wall of the yard. After careful watering and fertilization, he later planted a gourd melon weighing dozens of kilograms. When Lao Manjiang saw the gourd ripe, he saw a chubby female doll lying inside. Therefore, Meng and Jiang quarreled over the female doll, and finally they had to negotiate to jointly raise the female doll and named it "".

After Qin Shihuang unified China, he collected hundreds of thousands of civilian workers all over the country, connected and repaired the northern walls of Qin, Yan and Zhao, and built the Great Wall of Wan Li. A scholar named Wan Xiliang, in order to avoid the pursuit of the county magistrate, climbed over the wall and fled into the courtyard of the Meng family, hiding under the towel gourd frame, and was just found in the garden. Wan Xiliang quickly got up and bowed to mourn. Meng Jiangnu saw that she was a handsome scholar and gave it back to Meng Laohan. Meng Laohan, seeing a handsome man and knowing how to be a gift, proposed betrothing Meng Jiangnv to him.

On an auspicious day, when they were about to get married, they unexpectedly broke into several officials and rushed to catch the groom Wan Xiliang as a civilian worker. Meng Jiangnv cried day after day, night after night, and it has been a year in a blink of an eye. After Wan left, there was no news. Seeing the freezing weather, Meng Jiangnu was extremely uneasy. She washed cold clothes at night, said goodbye to her parents and slept in the wind, hungry and cold. Along the way, she found Wan Li trudging to the foot of the Great Wall, but she heard the civilian worker who built the Great Wall say that her husband was exhausted and her body was buried somewhere.

Meng Jiangnu suddenly burst into tears, crying until the sun and the moon were dark and the sky was dark. She only cried until the autumn wind wailed, and the Great Wall collapsed in sections, which was 800 miles long and piles of bones were exposed. In order to identify her husband's bones, Meng Jiangnv bit her middle finger and blood dripped on piles of bones. When it dripped on Wan Xiliang's bone, the blood bead could not freeze. Just then, Qin Shihuang came to visit the Great Wall and saw Meng Jiangnu, with fine features and beautiful face, digging a hole to possess her.

Meng Jiangnv followed suit and asked Qin Shihuang to promise her three conditions: first, she asked Qin Shihuang to set up a 30-mile-long filial shed; Second, Qin Shihuang wants to wear hemp Dai Xiao and lead the civil and military officials to hang Wan Xiliang on the altar; Third, swim with Qin Shihuang before marriage and hold a funeral for Wan Xiliang. Three conditions are indispensable, otherwise I would rather die than follow. Qin Shihuang's lust at this time was unbearable. In order to please Meng Jiangnv, he even agreed one by one.

However, on the day of sacrifice, Meng Jiangnv cried her husband until her blood and tears blurred and jumped into the sea. Qin Shihuang was furious and ordered the soldiers to salvage it quickly. Immediately, the sea roared and the wind blew everywhere, and Qin Shihuang could not come back. It turned out that it was the sea dragon king and the princess who pitied Meng Jiangnv, and ordered the crab soldiers and crabs to bring Meng Jiangnv into the Dragon Palace.
