Daughter Song is a poem by Sadula, a poet in Yuan Dynasty. This poem depicts and exaggerates the typical scene of ordinary people selling their own daughters for survival, expressing the poet's sympathy for the unfortunate experience of the people at the bottom of society and his strong dissatisfaction with the disparity between the rich and the poor in society.
This poem was written in the second year of Tian Li, Yuan Wenzong (1329), and the poet was a great scholar in Zhenjiang at that time. According to "The History of Five Elements and Yuan Dynasty, Biography of Scholars" and other records.
In August of the first calendar year (1328), floods occurred in nine counties, including Hangzhou, Jiaxing, Pingjiang, Huzhou, Jiande, Zhenjiang, Chizhou, Taiping and Guangde, which flooded more than 14,000 hectares of farmland.
In June of the following year, Tongzhou, Bazhou and other four States suffered from rain disasters; However, severe drought occurred in five states and forty counties, such as Calm, Hejian, Daming, Guangping and Zhou Xia. Shandong alone has more than 676,000 victims, and Shaanxi has more than1234,000. Years of floods and droughts have left the hungry homeless, starving everywhere, selling children and girls and leading a miserable life.
However, the literati built a lot of buildings and spared no expense to the people. Imperial edicts to build Longxiang Jiqing Temple in Jiankang and Manjuji in Shan Jiang increased the burden on the people. The author angrily wrote this poem to expose the reality.
