Who says sparrows have no mouths? How can they peck through my house?
Who said you weren't married? Why did you put me in prison?
Even if you put me in prison, you can't marry me!
Who says rats have no teeth? How can they get through my wall?
Who said you weren't married? Why did you get me sued?
Even if I am sued, I will never marry you!

From the content point of view, this poem is a woman's refusal to marry, and the poem does not explain the reasons for refusing to marry. However, from the sentence "Who is homeless?" It is very likely that the woman saw through the man's lies and knew that he had a family. However, it is not clear why the woman was framed and imprisoned. From the content of the poem, we can probably guess that the hero reprimanded in the poem already has a family, but he still wants to marry the woman through deception and forced marriage, and the woman refuses, so the man tries to frame him and even goes to court. The woman ended up in prison.
The first sentence of "Lou Lou" laid a sad emotional tone of the poem with "Lou Lou is tired", which enveloped the whole poem in a gloomy and depressed atmosphere. The second and third sentences explain the situation of the hostess and regret that she did not escape as soon as possible. It also shows the woman's firm will to escape and refuse marriage from the beginning. In Chapter 2 and Chapter 3, several "who refers to" were used in succession, and the man was questioned and reprimanded in a tough tone. "Who says sparrows have no mouths? How to peck through my house? Who said you weren't married? Why should I go to jail? " Judging from these words, the image of the hostess is awe-inspiring and fearless in times of crisis. At the beginning of the second and third chapters, the sparrow pecked through the house and the mouse bit through the wall to compete, which means that the woman hates the man for ruining her normal life. The last two sentences are narrative: why bother me when you have a home? I don't accept you and sue me to the government. At the end of the chapter, I made clear my firm position: No matter how much you sue me and hurt me, I will never let you succeed or obey you!
Although the poem never describes the female host positively, we can see from several sharp questions that although the female host is in a weak position, her character is by no means cowardly, and she is also a strong, unyielding and self-respecting woman. This poem is a very special poem in the Book of Songs, which mainly focuses on cross-examination. Repeated questioning shows the resentment of the hostess. This resentment is contrary to the idea of "neutralization" advocated by Confucianism. However, the artistry of poetry has not been compromised, because women's resentment is indifferent and the tragedy of fate is strongly exerted.
This poem, even now, is very special (whether it is The Book of Songs or Tang Poetry and Song Poetry), because we seldom see such a poem complaining about others and a poem expressing feelings with several questions. Reading makes people sad, and I can't help feeling wronged and sympathetic for the hostess. At the same time, she praised the indomitable spirit of the hostess who dared to speak out and fight against strength. Whether it is a costume drama or a novel, the story of marrying a cloth has been badly written and is no longer fresh. However, it's the first time I've seen a classic Four Great Classical Novels like The Book of Songs. In order to defend their independent personality and love dignity, ancient women were so tenacious and brave. If someone had written down her story at that time, it would have become a story sung through the ages.
