《二十四孝·董永賣身葬父》

漢董永，家貧。父死，賣身貸錢而葬。及去償工，路遇一婦，求為永妻。俱至主家，令織縑三百匹乃回。一月完成，歸至槐蔭會所，遂辭永而去。

葬父將身賣，仙姬陌上迎。

織縑償債主，孝感動天庭。

Dong Yong Sold Himself to Bury His Father

Dong Yong of the Han Dynasty was very poor. When his father died, he had to borrow money to have his father buried. In return for the debt, he had to work for the creditor. One day on his way to work, he met with a young lady who begged to marry him. They both went to the creditor’s house, and the woman was supposed to weave three hundred bolts of silk cloth before she could leave for home. After a month’s hard work, they both returned to the locust tree, where they first met each other, and the lady bade adieu to Dong Yong and was gone forever.
