The lyrics of "Eighteen Sent to Each Other" are as follows:
Ju Yingtai: There is a branch of plum in front of the door of the study, and the birds on the tree are playing against each other. The magpies are chirping all over the tree, reporting good news to your brother Liang.
Liang Shanbo: The two of us went out, and the magpies at the door were in pairs. Congratulations on your safe journey home.
Ju Yingtai: We went out of the city and crossed the border, but we only saw woodcutters on the mountain carrying firewood.
Liang Shanbo: It's hard to get up early in the morning and stay up late at night, and it's also hard to make a living by fetching firewood.
Ju Yingtai: Liang brother ah! Why is he carrying firewood? For which one do you send down the mountain?
Liang Shanbo: He is carrying firewood for his wife and children, and I am sending him down the mountain for you.
Ju Yingtai: After crossing one mountain after another,
Liang Shanbo: In front of us is Phoenix Mountain.
Ju Yingtai: Hundreds of flowers bloom on Phoenix Mountain,
Liang Shanbo: There is a lack of peony **** peony.
Ju Yingtai: If you love peonies, you should return home with me. There is a good peony in my house, and it is not difficult for you to pick it, brother Liang.
Liang Shanbo: Though your peony is good, it's a pity that it's a long way to climb.
Zhu Yingtai: The green lotus leaves are in the clear water, and the mandarin ducks are in pairs. If Yingtai is a woman with red makeup, would you like to be paired with a mandarin duck, brother Liang?
Liang Shanbo: Match the mandarin ducks, match the mandarin ducks, but it is a pity that you Yingtai is not a female red makeup.
Yinxin: There is a river in front of us,
Sijiu: A pair of big white geese floated in.
Ju Yingtai: The male went right in front, and the female called her brother from behind.
Liang Shanbo: I don't see the two geese coming to open their mouths, where is the female goose calling the male goose?
Zhu Yingtai: you do not see the female goose she smiled at you slightly, she laughed at you Liang brother really like a dumb goose.
Liang Shanbo: Since I'm a goose, you can't call me brother Liang from now on.
Sixty-nine: a wooden bridge in front of us,
Zhu Yingtai: I am panicky and timid.
Liang Shanbo: I help you to cross the bridge,
Zhu Yingtai: You and I are better than the cowherd and the weaver crossing the magpie bridge.
Backup song: After the river bank, there is another village, and the yellow dog inside the village barks.
Ju Yingtai: I don't bite the man in front, but the woman in the back.
Liang Shanbo: It's ridiculous to say that there is a woman's makeup here. Don't be afraid to enlarge your guts, my brother will beat the dog to cross the village.
Ju Yingtai: There is still a well in front of me, I don't know how deep it is?

Background of the Composition of "Eighteen Send-offs"
From Hongluoshan Academy to Zhu Yingtai's house, it is exactly eighteen miles, and to Liang Shanbo's house, it is also about eighteen miles. That's why there is the plot of "Eighteen Miles of Farewell". This eighteen-mile road is full of romance and beauty. For Liang Zhu, this eighteen-mile road is too short and too short.
The metaphor in the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai's eighteen-mile journey can be used to present the phenomenon of psycho-spatial integration by three processes, namely, composition, completion, and elaboration (Fauconnier and Turner 2002:48-49).
In the process of combination, because Zhu Yingtai is a woman dressed as a man, Liang Shanbo believes in the mental space (belief space), when Zhu Yingtai mentioned that there are nine sisters at home who want to be introduced to Liang Shanbo, Liang Shanbo's preconceived space of Liang and Zhu, becomes Liang Shanbo and nine sisters, forming a male-female relationship, Liang Shanbo's mental space fusion, which is carried out at this time. The third process is performed.
His new presupposition drifts upward, for the literal meaning mentioned in the speech, reinterpreted at this time as a metaphorical meaning, so no wonder out of the speech more metaphorical, the original one-track mind wants to be married to answer, just now the impossibility of the marriage, it is too ridiculous, Liang Shanbo presupposition of the nine sisters replaced by Zhu Yingtai, the integration of psychological space re-executed, the new presupposition once again drifts upward, for the metaphorical meaning of the formation of the speech.
