Dou E Yuan was written by Guan Hanqing. Write the story that Dou E was framed by hooligans and misjudged by the government. The story goes like this: Dou, a poor Confucian scholar in Chuzhou, had no money to go to Beijing to take the exam, so he had to sell his little daughter to the Cai family as a child bride. Dou E's husband died after marriage, and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law lived together. When Cai Po went out to collect debts, she met the rogue Zhang Lver and his son and was threatened by them. Zhang Donkey tried to occupy it, but when she didn't obey, she tried to poison Cai Po for blackmail, only to kill her father by mistake. Zhang Maolv falsely accused of murder, and the government tortured her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Dou E was beheaded to prevent Cai Po from confessing to murder. When Dou E was executed, she swore by heaven that after her death, she shed white silk with blood, snowed in June and suffered from drought for three years, in order to clear her grievances. Then it really came true. Three years later, Dou was appointed as an envoy to Chuzhou, and saw the ghost of Dou E appear, so he retried the case and rehabilitated Dou E.
Huai 'an woman Dou E was not guilty and was sentenced to death. This strange thing has been passed down from generation to generation. It's amazing!
