The content of Chaoshan love songs involves all aspects of love between men and women, both praising sincere love and lashing and deceiving couples. It not only describes the depressed life of monks and nuns widows and the requirements of getting rid of this life, but also reflects the dusty life and sad feelings of prostitutes.

There is a star in the sky. Marry Yamu and you will be born again. Don't eat three meals, look at an acre at one end.

"Yamu" here refers to a beautiful wife. "Matching" refers to the dishes.
