A man can do a lot of harm, and an old woman can only give birth to a child without getting married. Whose woman can walk with her skirt exposed behind her back? A man and a woman are born in the same place, and they wish to have two married women.

The poor woman can take a picture, but she can't see the rest of the slanted collar. Yellow mulberry sandals and Puzi shoes, with two ends of silk tied in the middle.

Appreciation of Works
This group of playful ballads in which young men express their feelings to girls is full of the simple and healthy pursuit of love and marriage of the working people in northern China. "Why not discuss family planning as soon as possible?" ” is the ideal family life goal that young men and women pursue together. The lively and enthusiastic girl in the second poem plays tricks with everyone.

She believes that "men and women are born to have the same sex" and there is nothing to be shy about. It is very different from the implicit and subtle ways of Jiangnan girls expressing love.
