The origin of the oath

? The word "vow" first comes from "The Book of Songs, Wei Feng, Meng", which is a poem about boudoir.

? It is about a man who proposed to a woman with a piece of cloth, but was rejected by the woman because he did not hire a matchmaker. After the man left, the woman went to the city gate every day to see if the man had returned. The man did not show up. The woman was extremely sad and cried bitterly. Finally, when the man came back, the woman was talking and laughing again. The man finally married the woman back with her dowry.

The woman later lamented that she must not be too infatuated with a man. She said it was okay for a man to be infatuated with a woman because he could easily get rid of her. But a woman is different. Once she becomes infatuated with a man, it will be difficult to get rid of him.

Because the woman has been married to the man for three years, getting up early and staying late every day, working hard and taking care of the housework. But what happened in exchange was the man's change of heart. Not only did the man treat her very badly, he even used violence against her. Not only did her friends not understand sympathy, they also made fun of her every day, so the woman had to cry secretly. The woman was full of sorrow and said, "We have grown old together, but the old age makes me resentful. Qi has a bank, and Xi has a pan. At the banquet of the president, he talked and laughed, and made vows without thinking about the opposite. On the contrary, if he didn't think about it, it was already gone. What do you mean? I originally wanted to grow old with you, but the longer I get along with you, the more resentful I become. The surging Qishui eventually has its shore, and although the swamp is wide, it also has an end. How can I miss the happiness and eternal vows of the past? It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I've broken up with him.

? This is where the oath comes from. It means that the oath is said sincerely.

The full text of the original poem is as follows:

Meng

Meng Zhichi, holding cloth and silk. Bandits come to trade silk, and when they come, they come to plot against me. Send the son to Sheqi, and go to Dunqiu. The bandit is my fault, and I am an unscrupulous matchmaker. The general will not be angry, and autumn will come. Riding on that wall, we hope to regain the pass. Not seeing the return pass, I burst into tears. Seeing the return pass, I laughed and talked. Erbu Erzhen, the body has no blame words. Come with your car and move with my bribe.

Before the mulberry leaves fall, their leaves are like silk. Come on! No mulberries to eat. Come on! No time to hang out 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. The water in Qishui is flowing, and the curtains and clothes are gradually falling. 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. Work hard and sleep well at night, and the day will come. Once the words are fulfilled, they become violent. My brother didn't know, so he laughed. Think about it quietly and bow to yourself in mourning.

As we grow old together, old age makes me resentful. Qi has a bank, Xi has a bank. At the banquet of the general manager, he talked and laughed, and made vows without thinking about the opposite.

On the contrary, if you don’t think about it, that’s enough!
