蘆田少婦哭聲長。哭向縣門號穹蒼。 夫征不復尙可有。自古未聞男絶陽。 舅喪已縞兒未澡。三代名簽在軍保。 薄言往愬虎守閽。里正咆哮牛去皁。 磨刀入房血滿席。自恨生兒遭窘厄。 蠶室淫刑豈有辜。閩囝去勢良亦慽。 生生之理天所予。乾道成男坤道女。 騸馬豶豕猶云悲。況乃生民思繼序。 豪家終歲奏管弦。粒米寸帛無所捐。 均吾赤子何厚薄。客窓重誦鳲鳩篇。

Young bride laments loudly in the reed field
Facing the village gate, her voice rises up into the sky

But for the first time I heard for someone castrated himself.
