original work

Embrace trade silk for self-protection. When robbers came to trade silk, they came to me. Sending a child involves gas, as for Dunqiu. When I was a robber, I had no good media. There is no anger in the child, and autumn lasts.

Take the other side of the wall to get back to the customs. I didn't see the resumption of customs, so I cried. Seeing the resumption of GATT, I was full of laughter and laughter. Well, Parr, the body is not responsible. Driving your car to bribe me to move.

Mulberry leaves flourish before they fall. There are no mulberries in the nest! I'm a woman, what's there to worry about! It can be said that scholars are worried. You can't say a woman is worried.

Mulberry fell, yellow, and fell. Self-pity, poor three years old. Qishui soup, curtain skirt. Women are unhappy, and scholars do their best. Scholars are also extremely useless.

Three years old, I am a woman, I am tired; Sleepless all night, there must be a dynasty. As for violence, what you say must be done. I don't know, man, but I'm laughing. Calm down and think about it, and you will bow your head and feel sorry for yourself.

Being together always makes me complain. Qi has a shore and discipline has a plate. General's corner banquet, talking and laughing. Swear, forget it. On the contrary, I don't think about it. I'm already embarrassed!

Creation background

Feng Weimeng is a folk song in the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Spring and Autumn Period, productivity was still quite backward. Women are not independent economically in the family, but form a subordinate relationship with men in personality. Once a man changes his mind, he can abandon her without care. At that time, the ideological system of feudal relations of production and hierarchical system was gradually formed. Women's love and marriage are often bound by ethical codes, interfered by parents and censured by customs, which further forms women's spiritual shackles. The poem Feng Wei Meng reflects the heartbreaking story of an infatuated woman.
