哀絶陽 Grief over Castration
 +
 
 +
 
 +
In the village of Reeds Field a young wife's cry long echoes
 +
 +
From the gate of country seat her cry reaches the far off sky.
 
   
 
   
From the gate of county office her cry reaches as far as the sky
 
 
 
Although she heard husbands went to war and did not return home
 
Although she heard husbands went to war and did not return home
 
   
 
   
Since ancient times, she has never heard about men castrating
+
Ancient times onwards, never heard a story of men castrating
 
+
 
In the mourning garment for her deceased father-in-law
 
In the mourning garment for her deceased father-in-law
  
And with the new-born child in her arm yet to be washed
+
The new-born child in her arm yet to be washed
 +
 
 +
Heartbroken still by the names of three generations enlisted
  
She sees the names of three generations enlisted
+
She went to the authority to plead in her inarticulate words
 
+
Thus in her inarticulate words she went to plead
+
Only to face the fierce gate guard relentlessly standing
 +
 
 +
The local clerk not only roared but took her cow in the shed.
 +
 
 +
Sharpening a knife her husband came in and bled all over
 +
 +
Tormenting himself for the cursed life of the new-born child 
 +
 
 +
What fault on earth would deserve such cruel punishment?
 +
 
 +
How sad to hear about the castrated children of the Min tribe![1] 
 +
 
 +
Life and procreation according to the principle of Heaven
 +
 
 +
The Heaven firms men, the Earth firms women
 +
 
 +
Even the horses and pigs are said pitiful when castrated
 +
 
 +
Let alone the thought of family lineage to be discontinued.
 +
 
 +
All year round the music is heard from the affluent households
 +
 +
Nonetheless not a single grain or a scarf of silk comes out.
 +
 
 +
Should people be equal, how are they so differently treated?
 
    
 
    
Only to face the fierce gate guard relentlessly standing
+
At the traveler's lodge over and over I recite Shijiu.   
  
The local clerk not only roared but took her cow from the shed   
 
  
 +
[1]閩囝去勢: Min tribe families used to practice the custom of castrating their baby boys, so as to serve the Tang dynasty families, who were fond of Min boy eunuchs.

Introduction

Original Script

Classical Chinese English

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。


此嘉慶癸亥秋, 余在康津作也. 時蘆田民有兒生三日, 入於軍保, 里正奪牛, 民拔刀自割其陽莖曰, 我以此物之故, 受此困厄. 其妻持其莖, 詣官門, 血猶淋淋, 且哭且訴. 閽者拒之. 余聞而作此詩.
