Once upon a time, there were two neighbors during the Qin Dynasty, Old Man Meng and Old Man Jiang.
Meng old man planted a big gourd, there is a girl doll, so the two families decided to raise her together, named “Meng Jiang Nu”.
Later, Qin Shi Huang wanted to build the Great Wall and captured many folk.
A scholar named Fan Xi Liang fled to Meng’s house to avoid capture and was discovered by Meng Jiang Nu.
Old Han Meng thought Fan Xi Liang was very good and let Meng Jiang Nu marry him.
But on the day of their wedding, the magistrate rushed in and took Fan Xi Liang away.
Meng Jiang Nu cried day and night, and after a year decided to go to her husband.
After all her hardships, she finally arrives at the Great Wall, only to learn that Fan Xi Liang has died of exhaustion and his body is nowhere to be found.
Meng Jiang Nu was so sad and wept so much that the Great Wall fell down for 800 miles, revealing many white bones.
She bit her finger and recognized her husband’s bones with her blood.
At this time, Emperor Qin Shi Huang saw the beautiful Meng Jiang Nu and wanted to marry her.
Meng Jiang Nu put forward three conditions: to build a 30-mile-long mourning shed, to wear mourning mourning for Fan Xi Liang by Emperor Qin Shi Huang, and to swim with her in the sea for Fan Xi Liang’s funeral. Qin Shi Huang agreed to all of them.
But on the day of the sacrifice, Meng Jiang Nu jumped into the sea after crying for her husband.
Qin Shi Huang was furious and ordered his soldiers to salvage it, but the sea roared and the winds were so fierce that he had to leave.
It turned out that the King and Princess of the Sea Dragon sympathized with Meng Jiang Nu and sent shrimp soldiers and crab generals to receive her to the Dragon Palace.
From then on, Meng Jiang Nu lived a peaceful life in the Dragon Palace.
