Korean folk stories

In North Korea, the story of Chunxiang is a household name. It is divided into two volumes. The first volume is about abstinence from prostitution (note: abstinence from prostitution refers to geisha who change their nationality. Li Menglong, the son of Hanlin's two classes, happened to meet Yuemei's daughter, Chunxiang, and they loved each other and got married privately. Li Hanlin was quickly transferred to the capital, and told Magnum first, but Chunxiang and Magnum had to say goodbye. The second volume is about the new ambassador of Nanyuan learning by the way. After taking office, he forced Chunxiang to guard the main hall for him (note: guarding the main hall means being a concubine, but it is not a formal concubine. ), Chunxiang refused to accept, was forced to go to prison, and her life was at stake. Menglong took the exam in Beijing, served as the ambassador of Jeolla, and secretly inspected Nanyuan. He found out the truth of Bian Xuedao's evil deeds, went to Bian Xuedao's birthday party anonymously, and left a satirical poem to attack. Afterwards, Bian Xuedao was dismissed, Chunxiang and Magnum reunited, and * * * went to Beijing.

The hero of the novel is Cheng Chunxiang, the daughter of a prostitute who retired from prostitution. During the dissemination of the works, the Korean people expressed deep sympathy for her unfortunate experience and warmly praised her indomitable quality. She is the representative of the beautiful image of Korean women who fought for love and marriage freedom in the late Li Dynasty.

Li Menglong, an intellectual born in two classes at the end of feudalism, has certain progressive thoughts. In the early days, they were aristocratic children who pursued personality liberation and demanded marriage autonomy; When Meng Long was appointed as an imperial envoy of Jeolla, he was an "honest official" in the feudal ruling class, which was the opposite of the frontier snowy road. The difference between him and the decadent Class Two at that time was that he had certain connections with the people. He secretly inspected Nanyuan and paid attention to the voices of the lower classes. He himself said, "If you want to know what happened in the city, you must ask the farmers." . He can also punish corrupt officials according to public opinion within his power. Finally, he left a satirical poem at the birthday party of Bianxuedao:

Golden bottles, good wine, the blood of thousands of people,

Pan Yucai Wanxing cream,

People cry when candles are in tear drops.

There are high complaints at the top of the song.

Poetry mercilessly exposed the crimes of Bian Xuedao and his gang who exploited the people cruelly, and concentrated on expressing the resentment and protest of the broad masses of the people against feudal bureaucrats with corrupt morality and ugly behavior. Afterwards, he promptly dismissed the side trail, cleaned up the prisoners, reunited with Chunxiang and crusaded against Beijing together.
