Re: Ru Fen 

Hunger = sadness = unsatisfied love apparently lolol

Was v confused about use of 墳 (grave; tomb) but apparently this is a pun/loanword on 濆 (edge of water) to give the meaning of levee.

Baidu says this is a folk song from the Rushui area from when the Zhou dynasty was collapsing, and the wife is sad about her husband being away for military service. And then a lot of stuff about gov't forcing them to be separated and how hard life was. Baidu ends with "and this is the collapse of the Zhou dynasty" sdkfjslkd
