战国时期,韩国有一个女子叫韩娥,擅长唱歌。一次,她流落到齐国,因为路途遥远,她的粮食吃完了,只好靠卖唱为生。一天,她来到一个叫雍门的城镇,在城门口卖唱以换取食物。她唱完后离开,但歌声却久久回荡在雍门的房梁之上,三天三夜都没有消失,人们都被她的歌声所感动,久久不能忘怀。
During the Warring States period, there was a woman named Han E from the state of Han who was skilled in singing. Once, she ended up in the state of Qi, and because the journey was long, she ran out of food and had to make a living by singing. One day, she arrived at a town called Yongmen, and sang at the city gate to exchange for food. After she finished singing and left, her voice lingered in the houses of Yongmen, for three days and nights it did not disappear, and people were deeply moved by her singing and couldn't forget it for a long time.
