07.Daughter’s Wedding Mother’s dear Daughter, You are a beauty born and raised in my hometown, But now you will be married to a new place. Daughter feels anxious. Slender bamboos are grown in my hometown, But their leaves fall down in other places. The beautiful mountains stand in front of my home, But their shadows are reflected in other places. The clear spring water starts from my home, But it flows to a different place. The crowd sent for the bride has arrived, And the water splashed by sisiters cannot stop them. Sisters’smearing the black on their faces cannot prevent them, either. The cousins sent for the bride has arrived, Brother’s wrestle with them cannot prevent them. Nor can sisters’ wedding weep. Brother carried his sister out of her bedroom, And they felt it hard to depart. The Sister’s wedding weep melody sounded sad and bitter. They really felt it hard to bid farewell. Brother helped Sister ride on the horse. She expressed her gratitude to him for lifelong care. When the newly-married bride was leaving the fire pool, The Fu Lu Spirit around the pot area became a memory. When the newly-married bride stepped out of the room, The threshold became a memory. When the newly-married bride passed by the field, The Land Spirit was became a memory. When newly-married bride crossed the downhill, The spirits of flowers and fruits arrived for protection. When the newly-married bride crossed the brook, Fish and shrimps arrived to invite her to stay. And the Roe deers passing by the valleys also arrived to invite her to stay. Why should Daughter leave home for another new place? The moment entered the door of the husband’s family, All people around were strangers. There were thousands of parents sitting around the fire pool, But my parents were not present. Daughter couldn’t help feeling homesick. After entering the door of the husband’s family, Stay whether it was good, Or it was bad. The bide’s escort, brothers and relatives, Would return home in three days’ time. Only Mother’s daughter would be left behind alone. She had to adapt herself to the strangeness, And she had to adapt herself to the hard farm work, And bad weather, as well. When the bide became a member of husband’s family, She had to put up with hardships. For her own future’s sake, She had to build her home just like birds did. She had to hide her feelings of homesickness. She was looking forward the wild geese flying across the sky, Ans then she could go back home to pay her parents a visit.
