1 The Wei Kingdom was roughly located in the area of ??Anyang, Hebi, and Puyang in today's Henan Province. It was founded by Feng Kangshu and its capital was Chaoge (now Qi County in Henan Province). Meng (méng): people, a proxy for men, refers to the husband of the heroine in the poem. Chichi (chī): honest and honest.
2 Trade: transaction. Baobao silk is barter. That is: Just. Mou: ancient sound mī. Bandit: pronounced as "non".
The phrase "the bandit came" means that the person did not really come to buy silk, but came to discuss things with me. The matter discussed was marriage.
3 Qi: the name of water. (Today's Qihe, Henan) Dunqiu: place name. (Today's Qingfeng, Henan Province) Qiu: The ancient pronunciation was "deception".
4 瀆(qiān) period: Missing the deadline, here refers to delaying the wedding date. This sentence means that it is not because I want to delay the agreed wedding date and refuse to marry, but because you have not found a good matchmaker.
5 General (qiāng): wish, please.
6 垝 (guǐ)垣(yuán): collapsed wall. "垝" collapsed. Fu: return. Checkpoint: Checkpoint set up on the main road. The woman hopes that the man will come to meet her when the time comes. He must pass through the gate when he comes. When it comes to "Fu", it is the name of Guan.

Body: Refers to turtle omens and hexagram omens, which are the results of divination. No evil words: It is the no evil hexagram.
10 Bribery: property, refers to dowry (lián), dowry. The above four sentences mean that you should check the fortune from the divination. As long as the result of the divination is good, you will send a car to marry the bride and move the dowry there.
11 Wo Ruo: Just like "Wo Ran", with a moist appearance, it is a metaphor for a young and beautiful woman. The above two sentences use the period of mulberry's prosperity as compared to the period when one is satisfied with love and has a better life.
12 Yu Lai Jiuxi: "Yu" is the same as "尗 (xū)", Yu Lai Xi is both a function word, Yu Lai Jiuxi: Turtle dove!
13 Dan (dān): Indulgence, too much greed and pleasure.
14 Said: Through "taking off", liberation.
15 Meteor (yǔn): Fall. Yellow: Turn yellow. Its yellow leaves fall away: Just like the "Yun turns yellow" in "Shang Shang Zhe Hua", Yun is also yellow, and the yellow leaves falling here are used to describe the decline of a woman's beauty in old age.

22 The word "yan" has no meaning. Jisui: This is the meaning of "both birth and childbirth" in the "Gu Feng" chapter, which means that life has gone smoothly. 23咥(xì): smiling appearance. The above two sentences mean that my brothers still don’t know what I’ve been through, and they all laugh at me when we meet.
24 Jing Yan Si Zhi: Think about it carefully. Jing: calm down; bow to one's sorrow: really feel sad for oneself. Bow: oneself. Mourning: sad.
25 The two sentences "Ji'er" originally promised to grow old together with you, but now the talk of growing old together only makes me resentful.
26鰰(xí): A low-humid place; as "wet", the name of the water is Luohe River, a tributary of the Yellow River, flowing through the territory of Weiguo. Pan (pàn): Tong "pan", waterside, edge.

Anti: violate these; anti: violate, that is, violate the oath; yes: demonstrative pronoun, referring to the oath. Already: settled, terminated. Yanzai: Modal particles are used together to strengthen the tone and express exclamation. Explanation of the poem: 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. Please don't be angry. I'll be waiting for you in the autumn. Climb the broken earth wall and gaze intently 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. Come in your car and load it with my bride price. 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 infatuated with 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 cannot leave him if she wants to escape. The leaves of the mulberry trees fell, withered, yellow and drifting away. Since I married into your family, I have suffered from hunger and poverty for many years. Qishui rushed me home, and the car curtains were dripping 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 many years after my marriage, and I have always done heavy housework. It’s not hard to get up early and go to bed late. Being busy is not a day.
Once your goal is achieved, you will gradually become violent towards me. My brothers didn't know my situation, so they laughed at me when we met. Calm down and think about it, and throw away your tears sadly. We vowed to grow old together, but now we have resentments before we grow old. The surging Qishui River will eventually have a shore, and the swamp will have an end even though it is wide. I recall 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 rejected the favor.
