The First Fold

(Purely dressed as Dr. Sai Lu, the poem reads) There is deliberation in the practice of medicine, and the medicine is given according to the Materia Medica. The dead cannot be cured, but the living are dead. My family name is Lu, and I am a good doctor, and I am called Dr. Sai Lu. In the south gate of this Shanyang County, there is a raw medicine bureau. In the city there is an old lady Cai, I asked him to borrow ten taels of silver, Benli should pay him back twenty taels; several times to ask for this silver, I have nothing to pay him back.

If you don't come then, if you do, I have an idea! I've always lived in Shanyang County, and I've done my best to be quiet. Since thirteen years ago, Mr. Dou Tianzhang left his child Duanyun with me as my daughter-in-law and changed his nickname to Dou E. Since the marriage, it has been less than two years since the child was married. Since the marriage, not two years, I do not want my child died of a disease.

Daughter-in-law widowed, and three years earlier, mourning will be in addition. I told my daughter-in-law that I would go to the doctor's house outside the city to ask for money. Is Dr. Sai Lu home? (Dr. Lu Yun) Granny, I'm at home. (Bu'er Yun) I've got these two silver coins for a long time, so give them back to me.

(Lu doctor Yun) granny, I have no silver at home, you go with me to the farm to get silver to pay you back. (Bu'er Yun) I'll go with you. (Do line section) (Lu doctor Yun) came here, no one in the east, no one in the west, here do not start, wait for what? I have a rope with me. I have a rope with me. Who's calling you, ma'am? （Where is she? （I'm not sure if I can do it, but I'm going to do it.

Marco Polo and his deputy, Donkey Zhang, rushed up to the door, and Dr. Saillou went down in a panic. (Marco Polo Cloud) Where are you from? What is your name and why did this man strangle you to death? (Bu'er Yun) I surnamed Cai, in the city people, but there is a widowed daughter-in-law, keep each other for a few days.

Because Sai Lu doctor less my 20 taels of silver, today with him to retrieve; who thought he suspected me to no one to go, to strangle me; rely on this silver.

If I hadn't met the old man and my brother, I would have gotten my life! (Donkey Zhang Yun) Father, did you hear what he said? He has a daughter-in-law at home! If I had saved his life, he would have thanked me.

Why don't you take this woman and I take his daughter-in-law? You talk to him. （

If you want this woman, I want his daughter-in-law, so you can talk to him. (Bul'er Yun) What are you talking about? When I go home, I will prepare more money to thank you. (Donkey Zhang Yun) Are you trying to trick me with money by refusing to do so? I still have Dr. Sai Lu's rope, so I'll strangle you to death.

(Do take the rope section) (Bu'er Yun) brother, wait for me to slowly think about us! (Donkey Zhang Yun) What are you thinking about? If you go with my old man, I'll take your daughter-in-law. (Bu'er's back) If I don't obey him, he'll kill me again. Come on, come on, come on, come on, you two, come with me to my home. (with the next) (Zhengdan on the cloud) concubine surnamed Dou, small word Duanyun, ancestor of the Chuzhou people.

I lost my mother when I was three years old and my father when I was seven years old. My father married me to Grandma Cai as a daughter-in-law, renamed Dou E, to the age of seventeen and her husband married. I'm sorry to say that my husband died, but I could have been three years older, and I would have been twenty years old today.

There is a Sai Lu doctor outside the south gate, he is less my mother-in-law silver, this interest should be 20 taels, several times to ask for not return. I'm sorry, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get through this! (Singing)

The immortal lu dotted Jiangliao is full of idle sorrows, several years of forbidden, does heaven know? If the sky knows the reason for my feelings, I am afraid that I won't wait to be thin with the sky.

Mixed rivers and dragons ask that dusk and day, when will the two kinds of children forget to eat and waste their sleep? The most important thing to remember is that you have to be able to get the best out of your life, and you have to be able to get the best out of your life. The most important thing is that the company's firmware is a firmware with flowers across the embroidered door, and the most important thing is that it is the ticking of the mountains and the colors of the moon that are hanging on the makeup floor. The longer it is anxious to press the anxiety, boredom and heavy show not thorough brow wrinkled, the more you feel the feelings of redundancy, the heart of a long time.

(Cloud) like this sadness, I do not know when it is over! (Singing)

Oil gourd is not the eight children should be carried by a lifetime of worry? I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to do with this! You must know that the human heart is not like the water that flows forever. I was three years old when my mother died, and seven years old when I was separated from my father. I was married to a man who lived with me, but he had a short fuse, and my mother-in-law kept the house empty every time, so there was no one to ask, no one to look at.

The world's happiness is not the result of burning incense in the past life, and now also the wave of life to attract trouble. I'm going to take care of my wife, and I'm going to keep my clothes on, and I'm going to say what I have to say, and I'm going to say what I have to say," he said.

(Cloud) Granny asked for money and went away, why didn't she come back this morning and evening? (Bu'er, together with Marco Lao and Zhang Donkeyer, went up) (Bu'er Yun) You two are at the door, waiting for me to go in first. (Donkey Zhang Yun) Grandma, go in first, and tell them that your son-in-law is at the door. (Bu'er meets Zhengdan) (Zhengdan Yun) Grandma is back. Are you eating? (Bu'er made a weeping section, Yun) Children, too, how can you teach me to say Bo! (Zheng Dan sang)

Why are half of the children's tears streaming down their faces? I'm sorry, but I'm not sure if I've been in a fight with someone to collect a debt. I'm here to greet you in a hurry, but he won't tell me the reason. (The first Dan sang) then see him half wandering half ugly.

(Yun) Granny, why are you crying? (Bu'er Yun) I asked Dr. Sai Lu for money, but he made me go to a deserted place and strangled me to death. But thanks to an old man and his son, Donkey Zhang, I was saved. The old man wanted me to recruit him as my husband, because of this trouble.

(Zheng Dan Yun) Granny, this is not good! You again think about us: my family is not without food, no clothes, not less debt, being forced; Moreover, you are old, more than 60 people, how to recruit a husband that? (Bu'er Yun) children also, you say is not it! But I owe my life to the two men who saved it.

I also said: "When I get home, I'll give you some more money to thank you for saving my life. I don't know how he knew that I have a daughter-in-law at home, said my wife and daughter-in-law and no husband, his father and son and no wife, it is the fate of the heavens and the heavens. If I didn't obey him, he would still strangle me. At that time, I panicked, not to mention that I promised him, even you may have him. My son, this is also out of no choice. (Zheng Dan Yun) Granny, listen to me. (Singing)

The backyard flowers to avoid the evil spirits to choose a good day, to worship the family hall to repair the incense. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get a good deal on the price, but I'm sure you're going to be able to get a good deal on the price. It's no wonder that a woman is too old to be left behind. You are now in your sixties, but you can't say that everything will be over in your middle age! The old love is a write-off, the new couple has two intentions, in vain to teach people to laugh and break their mouths!

(Bu'er Yun) My life was saved by his father and son, and now I don't care if others laugh at me. (Zhengdan sings)

While you were saved by him, it is not true that you are very young, but you have a vivid image of your spouse. I think that your husband left you with a farm, and he has provided you with food in the morning and evening, as well as clothes in the summer and winter. I hope that you will be widowed, lonely and without any support, and that your mother and son will grow old. I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to do, but I'm sure I'm going to be able to do what I need to do!

(Bu'er Yun) children, he is now just waiting for the door. I'm not sure how I'll be able to get back to him in the rush of the wedding. （

Parasitic grass you say he was in a hurry to happy, I'm for you to pour a detailed worry: worry is worrying about the mood of sadness can not swallow the wine, worry is worrying about the eyes of sadness can not twist the concentric buckle, worry is worrying about the haze of sadness can not sleep steadily hibiscus mattress. If you want the song to lead you to the hall of paintings, I'll say that this marriage will fall behind others.

Buy a child and don't talk about me anymore. The two of them are waiting at the door, and now that it's over, I'd like to recruit you as a son-in-law! (Zhengdan Yun) Granny, if you want to recruit yourself, I do not want a son-in-law. （I don't want a son-in-law. (Bu'er Yun) Who wants a son-in-law? I don't want a son-in-law, but I can't help it that his son and his wife have come through the door, so what can I do? (Donkey Zhang Yun) We will go to the door today.

The cap is bare, today is a groom; the sleeve is narrow, today is a guest. Good son-in-law, good son-in-law, not in vain, not in vain. (With Marco Lao into the worship section) (Zheng Dan do not salute section, cloud) Wood that廝, lean back! (Singing)

Earned a lot I think this woman every do not believe that male mouth. I'm afraid that my mother-in-law, who has no chastity to protect herself, has recruited a village old man to lead a half-dead prisoner today. (Zhang donkey do face material, cloud) you see my master and son two such body, all also choose son-in-law over, you do not miss the good time, I and you earlier to worship.

(Zheng Dan is not polite section, sing) then you pit kill Yan couple Ying companions. I'm sorry, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this! My father-in-law has been in the state, struggling with the family's destiny. Thinking about what my father-in-law has done, how can I bear to teach Donkey Zhang to suffer? (Zhang Donkey Er did pull Zheng Dan to pay respect to the section, Zheng Dan pushed down the section, singing) Wood is not my husbandless woman to go down to the head of the field! (Next) (Bu'er Yun) your old man do not be annoyed.

Is it possible that you have the grace of life, I do not think to repay you? But my daughter-in-law's temperament is the worst, since he refused to recruit your son, so how can I recruit your old man? Now I'm trying to feed you and keep you at home, and I'll try to persuade my daughter-in-law to change her mind. I'm not going to be able to do that, but I'm going to be able to do it again," he said.

(Zhang Donkey's cloud) This crooked bone! It is the yellow flower daughter, just pulled a hand, do not have to be such a sex, empty push me a cross, I am willing to do it! I will bet a vow with you in person: I do not want him as a wife in this life, I am not a good man!

I saved your life and was reborn from the dead, how can I not give up my body to stay with you? （

The second part

(Sai Lu doctor on, poem Yun) kid too doctor origin, also do not know medical death many people. Why did I close my store for a day for fear of being reported? The Cai family in the city, just less than his 20 taels of silver, repeatedly came to ask for it, and some twisted spine.

It is also my moment of wisdom short, will earn him to the deserted village, bumped into two do not know the name of the man, a yell: "Wanderer Qiankun, how dare you line brother splash, unauthorized strangulation of civilians!" Scared me threw the rope, let go of the footsteps to run. Although nothing happened all night, but I feel that I have lost my spirit; I realize that human life is a matter of heaven and earth, how can I look at it as dust on the wall? I'm not going to be able to do that, but I'm going to be able to do it," he said.

The lives of those who died in the previous medical treatment, one by one, with a volume of scriptures of transcendence.

This is the first time I've been to the hospital. I just want to rely on the Cai grandmother twenty two silver, earned him to the deserted place, was about to strangle him, who would like to meet two men, saved him to go. If he comes back to collect the debt, how can I see him? The first thing I'd like to say is that I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to get through this, but I'm sure I'm going to be able to get through it.

"I'm glad I'm alone, and no family to get involved; not if we pack up the soft luggage, make a bag, quietly hide elsewhere, do another business, not clean! (Donkey Zhang, in the clouds) My own Donkey Zhang. But that sinus won't follow me; now that the wife is sick, I'll ask for poisonous medicine to eat with him, to kill the wife, and this little girl will at least be my wife.

(do line section, cloud) and stop, the city people have a wide range of eyes and mouths, if they see me ask for poison, but not to yell something? I saw the day before yesterday that there is a drugstore outside the south gate, here calm, just to ask for medicine. (Doing so, I called out) Brother Doctor, I am here to ask for medicine. (Dr. Sai Lu Yun) What kind of medicine do you want? (Donkey Zhang Yun) I want to take poison medicine.

(Dr. Sailu Yun) Who dares to combine poison with you? This slaying is so bold! (Donkey Zhang Yun) Are you really refusing to give me the medicine? (Doctor Sailor Yun) If I don't give it to you, what are you going to do to me? (Donkey Zhang made a drag of Lu Yun) Well, you weren't the one who plotted the death of Mrs. Cai the day before yesterday! If you say I don't recognize you, I'll drag you to the court!

(Sai Lu doctor do panic section, cloud) big brother, you let me, there is medicine, there is medicine. It is: "When you have to let go, you must let go, and when you have to spare others, you should spare others." (Next)

(Sai Lu doctor Yun) But it's not bad luck! The man who asked for medicine just now is the one who saved that woman. If I take this poison with him today, I will be implicated in future incidents. I'll close the pharmacy while I still can and go to Zhuozhou to sell rat poison.

(Next) (Bu'er on, doing the sick ambulance section) (Marco Lao with Zhang Donkey'er on, Yun) Since I came to Cai's house, I had hoped to be a helper, but his daughter-in-law insisted on not obeying. That mother-in-law has always accepted my two children at home with us, only to say that "good things are not busy", and slowly persuade his daughter-in-law; who would have thought that the mother-in-law is sick again.

Children, have you ever counted my two eight years, red luan Tianxi when to life? (Zhang Donkey's Cloud) It depends on what Tianxi is going to be! I'm just betting on my ability to do it, so I'm going to do it. (Marco Lao Yun) My son, Granny Cai has been sick for a few days, I'll go with you to ask her about her illness. (Do see Bu'er's questioning section, Yun) Granny, how are you sick today? (Bu'er Yun) My body is very unhappy.

(Marco Lao Yun) Can you think of something to eat? (Bu'er Yun) I'm thinking of some sheep's belly soup to eat.

(Marco Lao Yun) child, you say to Dou'e, make some goat maw soup to eat with granny. (Zhang donkey to the ancient door Yun) Dou E, mother-in-law wants to eat goat maw soup, quickly arrange to come. (Zheng Dan holds the soup on, cloud) concubine Dou E is also. There is my mother-in-law is not happy, want to eat goat maw soup, I personally arranged with my mother-in-law to eat.

Mother-in-law, this widow's family, I have to avoid some suspicion, how can I take in that Zhang Donkey's father and son? I'm a widow, so I have to avoid suspicion. How can I take in Zhang Donkey's father and son? Grandma, don't promise him a marriage behind his back, so that even I will become unclean and impure. I think this woman's heart, it is hard to protect it! (Singing)

Nanlv a branch flower he is to be a lifetime of ducks sleep, where willing to sleep in the middle of the night empty room; he was originally Zhang Lang woman, and then became the wife of Li Lang. The first-class women are always with them, and they do not talk about the family's plans, but inquire about the rights and wrongs; they say that they don't understand the mechanism of beating the wind, and that they have made some adjustments to the empty clamor to fish for the dragon's insights.

The seventh in Liangzhou, this one like Zhuo's like kiln cleaning, this one like Meng Guang like lifting the case, said to hide the head and feet more clever! The way is difficult to know, make to know. The old favor is forgotten, and the new love is preferred; the soil pulse on the grave is still wet, and the racks have been replaced with new clothes.

Where is the great wall of weeping at the time of mourning? The first time I saw this was when I was a student at the University of California at Berkeley. The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal of money to pay for it. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get a good look at this! The woman's family has no sense of justice. I'm sorry to say that I've killed my predecessor, but I'm not going to say that I'm going to follow her at a hundred paces.

(Cloud) granny, sheep's stomach soup is made, you eat some wave. (Donkey Zhang Yun) wait for me to take it. (Do taste section, cloud) This is less salt and vinegar, you go get it. (Zheng Dan down) (Zhang Donkey put medicine section) (Zheng Dan on, Yun) This is not salt and vinegar! (Donkey Zhang Yun) You pour down some. (Zheng Dan sang)

(Marco Lao Yun) this soup specially made to eat with you, even if you do not eat, but also eat a bite. (Bu'er Yun) I do not eat, your old man please eat. (Marco Lao ate section) (Zheng Dan sang)

He Xinlang a said you please eat, a said that the mother first eat, this language is difficult to hear, I am angry also not angry! I'm not mad at him, but I'm mad at him for being so close to us. Why don't we remember our old love for each other? Grandma, don't you think that "gold is the treasure of the world, white hair is rare", so the old love is not as good as the new knowledge of the contract?

If you want to be buried in the same grave for a hundred years, where would you be willing to send cold clothes for a thousand miles? (Doing the Crying Section, Yun) I'm not dead! (Zheng Dan sang) bucket toad empty grief, did not pay attention to, human life and death, is the cycle of reincarnation.

Sense of this kind of disease, the value of this kind of situation, but the wind, cold, heat and humidity, or hunger, food and labor, each person symptoms know. Life expectancy is not in this world. How can we talk about a family and a plan when we have to live together for three days and five nights? There is no wine, no satin, no gifts, no money, no money, no money, no money, no money, no money, no money, no money, no money, no money, no money, no money, no money, no money, no money, no money.

It's not that Dou E is disobedient, I'm afraid of what people will say. This is not the couple you grew up with. I'm actually not related to the relatives, not half of the linea luce fear tears.

Don't be as drunk as you are, you'll be in such a state of contention, crying and whining. (Zhang Donkey's cloud) good also Luo! You drugged my old man to death, more to do! (Bu'er Yun) Son, what's the matter? (Zheng Dan Yun) What medicine do I have there? It's all the salt and vinegar he poured into the soup when he asked for it. (Singing)

Who are you trying to scare when you're with the slayers and you're taking our mother in, and you're killing your own father with your own medicine? (Make a shouting section, cloud) Listen to the neighbors: Dou'e killed my old man with medicine! (Bu'er Yun) Don't make a fuss, you'll scare me to death! (Donkey Zhang Yun) Are you scared? (Bu'er Yun) I know it's scary.

(Donkey Zhang) Do you want to be spared? (Bu'er) I know I have to spare you.

(Bu'er Yun) Children also, you obeyed him. (Singing) It is difficult for me to carry out my armchair for two years, and I think that it is not possible for me to marry someone else when I have been matched with a man for two years.

(Zhang Donkey's Cloud) Dou'e, you killed my old man with your medication, do you want to take official leave? I'm not sure if you're going to be able to do that. How is it a private vacation? (Zhang Donkey's Cloud) You want to take a break, drag you to the court, and put you through six questions!

You're so thin and weak that you can't be tortured, and I'm afraid that you won't confess to the crime of drugging my old man to death! (Zheng Dan Yun) I have not drugged your old man to death, and would like to meet with you to see the official.

(Donkey Zhang dragged Zheng Dan and Bu'er down) (Pure dressed up as a lone guide, poem) I am a government official better than the others, the report came to ask for gold and silver. If you are a supervisor, you will not go out of your home if you are sick. I am the Taolu, the governor of Chuzhou. This morning, I was sitting in the hall, around, drinking fling box.

(Gioneer Mia drink section) (Zhang donkey dragged Zhengdan, Buer on, Yun) report, report! (Giont Yun) Bring it here. (Kneeling to see, also kneeling, Yun) Please get up. (Giont Yun) He is the one who filed a complaint, how come he is kneeling down? (Lone Cloud) You don't know, but the one who came to report is my food and clothing.

(Gion is a drinker, lone cloud) That's the plaintiff? I'm sorry, but I'm not going to be able to tell you the truth! （

These are the first time I've been to the United States, and I'm sure I'll be able to tell you how much I've learned from the experience of the United States.

This is called Cai Granny, is my stepmother.

This is my stepmother! (Bu'er Yun) nor the old woman's business.

(Zhang Donkey's Cloud) It's not my business either. （The first thing I'd like to say is that I'm not sure if I'm the one who put the poison in my mouth. (Zheng Dan Yun) my mother-in-law is not his stepmother, his family name is Zhang, my family name is Cai. My mother-in-law, because of the money with Sai Lu doctor, was earned by him to the suburbs, strangling my mother-in-law; but his father and son saved his life.

So my mother-in-law took them in and raised them for life to repay her kindness. The young woman had a husband, but she had not yet completed her filial piety, so she refused to obey. I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to do, but I'm sure I'm going to be able to do it," he said.

I don't know where Donkey Zhang got the poison, but when he received the soup, he only said that there was less salt and vinegar, and then he turned the woman around and secretly poured the poison. She let her old man eat it; he died after eating a few mouthfuls, and there was no interference with the little woman. I hope that you will be kind enough to decide for me! (Singing)

Lord Shepherd Guan, you are as bright as a mirror, as clear as water, and you can see the reality of my liver and gallbladder. The soup has all the flavors, but I don't know anything about it. He pushed to taste the flavor, ate it will be unconscious. It is not that the concubine litigation court Hu Zhizhi right, the Lord also, but teach me to say what for nothing?

(Donkey Zhang Yun) Lord details: his surname is Cai, my surname is Zhang. I'm not sure what I'm talking about, but I'm not sure what I'm talking about, and I'm not sure what I'm talking about. This daughter-in-law, although young, is a very good bone naughty, not afraid to fight. (Orphan cloud) People are cheap insects, they will not be recruited unless they are beaten. I'm going to hit her with a big stick! I'm not sure who to blame for this, but I'm sure you're the one who did it. I would like to advise every woman in the world to take a look at my example.

These are the first time I've ever seen a woman in the world who has been in the same position as me! The first thing I want to do is to get the best out of the world, and I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to do, but I'm going to be able to do it, and I'm going to be able to do it, and I'm going to be able to do it.

The tea-picking song beat me meat are flying, blood dripping, who knows the injustice in the belly! I'm not going to be able to get a good look at you, but I'm going to be able to get a good look at you!

(Lone cloud) Do you confess or not? (Zheng Dan busy cloud) Stop, stop, stop, don't hit my mother-in-law. I'd rather I confessed that it was me who drugged my father-in-law to death.

In the coming days, the sentence of a "beheading" word, escorted to the city of Cao Cao punishment. (Bu'er crying, Yun) Dou'e child, this is all because I sent your life. I'm not in pain to kill me! (Zheng Dan sang)

Huang Zhongwei I did a wronged and aggrieved ghost, how can I let go of your packet of ridiculous leakage of the face of the thief! I think the human heart can not be deceived, the injustice is known to heaven and earth, the fight to the end, the end of the race, now what to do? I would like to admit that I killed my father-in-law with the medicine and confessed my crime. Grandma, if I don't die, how can I save you? (Buer crying section, cloud) tomorrow in the city of Cao Cao to kill Dou E children also, Wood's not painful to kill me also! (Lone Cloud) Zhang Donkey, Cai Granny, all take the certificate of guarantee, and follow the government office to listen to Hou. The police will not be able to take the case to the police station, but they will be able to take the case to the police station. （

Extended information:

"Touching Heaven and Earth Dou'e Grievance" (Dou'e Grievance for short) is a miscellaneous drama written by the Yuan dynasty opera singer Guan Hanqing and published in the 10th year of the Wanli reign of the Ming dynasty (1582).

The four-fold play is about a weak widow, Dou E, who is framed by a scoundrel and beaten by a stupid official, and is sentenced to be beheaded and displayed in public. Before her execution, Dou E, full of grief and anger, makes three vows: blood spattered with white practice, snow in June, and a three-year drought. As a result, the three vows have been realized one by one.

The play demonstrates the miserable situation of the lower class people who are at the mercy of others and have no place to complain about their sufferings, accuses the corrupt officials of killing people, and vividly portrays Dou E as a female figure. The play also embodies Guan Hanqing's style of language, with his words expressing the human condition and his character's true nature.

Background

During the Yuan Dynasty, in order to satisfy the Mongolian aristocracy's extravagant life and military needs, some Mongolian ministers colluded with local officials and did everything they could to corrupt the law. Under the cruel class oppression and national oppression, the working people of all races lived a miserable life, especially the discriminated Han and Nan people, and there were so many cases of injustice that they could not be counted.

Some readers with a sense of justice, dissatisfied with the dark rule of the government, used the form of miscellaneous dramas to expose the evils of the officialdom and social injustice, Guan Hanqing was one of them. He wrote what he saw and heard of the people's tragic encounters into his play, "Touching Dou'e Grievance".
