The original text of "The Book of Songs·Wei Feng·Meng"
The Chi Chi of the mob holds cloth and silk. Bandits come to trade silk, and when they come, they come to plot against me. Send the son to Sheqi, and then to Dunqiu. The gangster is my fault, and I am an unscrupulous matchmaker. The general will not be angry, and autumn will come.
Ride on that wall to hope that the pass will be restored. Not seeing the return pass, I burst into tears. Now that I have returned to the pass, I laugh and talk. Erbu Erzhen, the body has no blame words. Come with your car and move with my bribe.
The mulberry leaves have not yet fallen, and their leaves are lush. The doves are crying, and there are no mulberries to eat! As a lamenting girl, I have nothing to do with scholars! It can still be said that scholars are delayed. A woman's procrastination cannot be explained.
The mulberry trees have fallen, and they have turned yellow and fallen. Self-imposed, poor at the age of three. Qishui soup,
gradually cars and curtains. Women are also unhappy, and scholars behave differently. Scholars are also extremely ignorant, but only have two or three virtues.
Being a wife at the age of three, she has to work hard at home; Now that the words have been fulfilled,
it becomes violent. My brother didn't know, so he laughed. Think about it quietly and bow to mourn.
As we grow old together, old age makes me resentful. Qi has a bank, and Xi has a bank. At the general banquet, Yan Yan talked and laughed. Be true to your word and never think about the opposite. On the contrary, if you don’t think about it, that’s enough!
Translation
An ignorant peasant boy, carrying cloth in his arms in exchange for silk. In fact, it's not really about changing silk, it's just an excuse to talk about marriage.
I will send you across the Qishui River to the west, and I will fall in love with you when you arrive at Dunqiu. It's not that I want to miss the date, you are not a matchmaker and it's rude.
I hope you won’t be angry, we will be in autumn.
Climb up the broken earth wall and look towards Fuguan. The return pass is far away and cannot be seen, and my heart is filled with sorrow and tears.
The lover suddenly came from Fuguan, talking and laughing happily. You go to divination to ask about auspiciousness, the hexagrams show auspiciousness and your heart will be happy.
Hurry up to your car and load it with my gifts.
When the leaves of the mulberry trees have not yet fallen, the branches are covered with luxuriant green. Oh, those turtledoves, don’t eat the mulberry leaves in a hurry.
Oh, young girls, don’t be too crazy about men. If a man is obsessed with you, it will be easy to give up.
If a woman is in love with a man, she will not be able to leave him if she wants to.
The leaves of the mulberry trees have fallen, and they are withered, yellow and drifting away. Since I married into your family, I have suffered from hunger and poverty for three years.
The Qishui flowed as I returned home, and the car curtains were splashed with wet water. There is nothing wrong with me being my wife, but you are cunning and immoral.
You have no standards for being a human being, and you only play tricks half-heartedly.
I have been your wife for three years after my marriage, and I have worked tirelessly on the heavy housework. It’s not hard to get up early and go to bed late. Being busy is not a one-day affair.
Once your goal is achieved, you will gradually become violent towards me. My brothers didn't know my situation, so they all laughed at me when they saw me.
Calm down and think about it, and shed your tears alone.
We vowed to grow old together, but now we are still grieving. The surging Qishui River will eventually have a shore, and the swamp will have an end even though it is wide.
Looking back on the many happy gatherings when we were young, and the long-term friendship between joking and joking. Back then, they had made an oath to each other, but unexpectedly they turned against each other and turned into enemies.
Don’t think about betraying the alliance again, forget it now that you have declined the favor.

Brief analysis:
"Meng" is a narrative poem. Narrative poetry has a storyline, and there is lyricism and discussion in the narrative. The author uses the first person "I" to narrate the story, using the techniques of recollection and comparison.
The first and second chapters trace the love life. The heroine "sends off her son to Sheqi" and advises the gangsters to "not be angry"; "when they see each other again, they laugh and talk", she is a warm and gentle girl.
Chapter 3, 4 and 5 trace married life. The third chapter, with the rise, summarizes the life experience I have gained: "When you are a girl, you have no time to hang out with scholars!" The fourth chapter, with the rise, summarizes the "three-year-old food poverty" and "the scholars are also extremely ignorant. Two or three of its virtues”.
Chapter 6 expresses the feelings and determination after "I have mourned myself": "It's okay if I don't think about it!"
The author follows the lines of "Love - Marriage Changes" ——Decision" plot clue narrative. By writing about the heroine's experience of being abandoned, the author creates an image of a hard-working, gentle, and strong woman, and expresses the strong desire of ancient women to pursue independent marriage and a happy life.
