Lyrics of Guo Degang’s version:

The peach leaves are pointed, the willows are pointed. Leaves cover the sky

Master Ming, who is in his position, listen carefully to what I have to say

This matter happened at the Jingxi Indigo Factory

Indigo Factory, Firearms Camp, there is a Song Laosan

Song Laosan is mentioned, the couple sells cigarettes

I have no children in my life, but I gave birth to a daughter, Chanjuan. Now

Hey, little girl, you are just fifteen years old

I gave you a baby name, the lotus flower is called Dalian

The girl is called Dalian, she is pretty. The face is like a flower with no one picking it

The pipa has broken strings and no one is playing it, the slave is like Diao Chan missing Lu Bu

It is also like Yan Poxi sitting on the floor thinking about Zhang San

The sun The mountains have gone down and the autumn insects are noisy

The sixth brother who has been thinking about it day and night has come to my door

We have made an appointment to meet at midnight tonight Ah, Da Lian, I bowed my head shyly and was speechless

At dawn, the girl burst into tears

The two most hateful parents love to smoke opium

You have delayed my marriage, little slave. If your youth is over, where can you find a young man?

At the second watch, there was a drumbeat, and Xiao Liuer climbed up the wall

Alarmed everyone House, the girl who is obsessed with love

Hurryingly opened the double door, holding her beloved little friend by the hand

It was midnight, and the moon was shining in the middle

What a passionate couple, sitting and talking to each other

The mandarin ducks are playing in the water, and I am talking about what is in my heart

Holding hands with a close friend , bursting into tears

It is dawn at dawn, parents know their true feelings

This shameless girl has ruined my family

Today I will definitely beat you here, and the leather whip will be dipped in cold water, and the beating will be merciless

Da Lian had nothing to say, and jumped into the river when forced

Alarmed the sixth brother, he came to explore the clear water River

My dear, you died all for me

Sister Dalian, walk slowly, wait for Brother Six

The autumn rain is falling continuously, and the frost is falling Qingshui River

What a pair of lovers, they both jumped into the river

Mandarin ducks were playing in the water, let me tell my heart

It was compiled The ditty "Come to Explore Qingshui River" was composed into a ditty "Come to Explore Qingshui River", ah

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the firearms camp was manufacturing guns, and Song Laosan’s family lived there, making a living by growing tobacco and opening opium dens. . The old couple had no children, so they gave birth to a daughter named Da Lian. When Dalian reached the age of fifteen or sixteen, she was very tall and tall, and had reached the threshold of being a matchmaker. However, Song Laosan and his wife spent all day eating, drinking and having fun, and did not care about their daughter's marriage. Later, she met Tong Xiaoliu, a young farmer from the village. The two of them fell in love secretly.

One time Xiaoliu came to Dalian's house, and their parents discovered the two of them secretly having a tryst. This caused a big disaster. This was an insult to the ancestors and a ruin of the family. Da Lian's father beat her to pieces with a leather whip, gave her a kitchen knife, a rope, and a pair of scissors and told her to cut herself. Finally, Da Lian was forced to have no choice but to jump into the Qingshui River at the door (Qingshui River). The river is the long river that comes out of the Summer Palace).

Xiao Liu heard that Da Lian had jumped into the river and died, so he came to Qingshui River with burning paper to pay homage to his sister Da Lian on a windy and rainy night. After the memorial ceremony, poor Xiao Liu also jumped Crossing the river, this story is a story of love between two parties.

To commemorate this loyal love story, someone later compiled it into a ditty and sung it everywhere. "Exploring Qingshui River" has since been widely circulated in Beijing.
