The verses of "Meng Jiangnu Crying at the Great Wall" are as follows
The first month of the year is the New Year, every household lights up red lanterns, husbands from other families reunite, Meng Jiangnu's husband builds the Great Wall. The warm weather comes in February, and pairs of swallows arrive in Nanyang. Their new nests are made neatly, and they form pairs in Hualiang. In March, the Qingming Festival comes, with red willows and green grass. White paper floats on every grave. Meng Jiangnu’s grave is deserted. In April, we were busy raising silkworms, and my aunt and sister-in-law went to pick mulberries. They hung the mulberry basket on the mulberry tree and wiped away their tears to pick mulberries.
In May, there are yellow plum blossoms, and the yellow plum blossoms are full of tears. Rice seedlings are planted in every family's field, and there are haystacks in Meng Jiangnu's field. The heat in June is unstoppable, and mosquitoes come and bite my chest. They would rather eat a thousand mouthfuls of my blood than bite my husband. In July, when autumn cools down, everyone is making clothes under their windows, in blue, red, green and white. There are only empty boxes in Meng Jiang's house. In August, the wild geese gate opens, and the flowers and wild geese bring books under the bamboo. The idle people only talk about idle talk, and no relatives bring clothes.
It is the Double Ninth Festival in September. The old Double Ninth Festival wine is fragrant with chrysanthemums. I will not drink it when it is poured. My husband does not drink in pairs. In October, the rice comes to the market, and the rice is made into official grain in cages. Every family has official grain accumulation, and Meng Jiang's family has empty thoughts. In November, snowflakes were flying, and Meng Jiangnu went out to deliver cold clothes. Crows came to guide the way, and the Wanqiliang Great Wall was deserted. December was busy during the Chinese New Year, with pigs and sheep being slaughtered. Pigs and sheep were slaughtered in every house, leaving Meng Jiang’s house empty.
The Great Wall is thousands of miles long, and the inside and outside of the Great Wall are hometowns. Qin Shihuang, the first emperor of the ages, built walls with stones to resist foreign invaders. There are millions of husbands in the world, and their bones and loyal souls are buried in the wall. Poor Meng Jiangnu who gave her clothes to her, only to see the Great Wall but not her husband. I cried for three days and three nights, and the sound of crying made the sky wall collapse. Who said the Great Wall is indestructible, the people's heart is the foundation of the country.

The legend about Meng Jiangnu crying at the Great Wall has been circulating for a long time. It is said that Qin Shihuang recruited a large number of migrant workers to build the Great Wall, including Meng Jiangnu's husband Fan Qiliang. Meng Jiangnv and Fan Qiliang had a very good relationship, but they said that Fan Qiliang was building the Great Wall in the north, while Meng Jiangnv was thinking about it day and night in the south. There were many mosquitoes in summer. Meng Jiangnv could not stop praying and said: "Mosquitoes, mosquitoes, even if they bite Meng Jiangnv thousands of times, they will not bite her thousands of times." Don't bite my husband Fan Qiliang."
Winter was coming and the cold wind was blowing. Meng Jiangnu thought that Fan Qiliang was wearing thin single clothes, and she couldn't help it, so she made some thick cotton clothes and decided to visit her husband. First, she came to the Xushuguan Pass in Suzhou, but the soldiers guarding the gate refused to let her in. Meng Jiangnu cried and prayed, while singing, "The first month is the New Year, and every household hangs red lanterns; husbands reunite, and Meng Jiangnu's husband builds the Great Wall." The soldiers Finally he was moved by her and let her pass.
In this way, Meng Jiangnu passed one level after another, and after untold hardships, finally arrived at the foot of the Great Wall. There were thousands of migrant workers at the foot of the majestic Great Wall, but her husband Fan Qiliang was missing. Meng Jiangnv asked many questions, and only then did she know that he had died of exhaustion at the foot of the Great Wall. In an instant, Meng Jiangnv burst into tears, pitiful and miserable. She heard the sound for nine days, and God couldn't bear it. There were several loud noises, like the sky and the earth falling apart, and the Great Wall fell down for 800 miles.
