| Abstract | 'Bigou' or 'The Broken Trap' is the title of an epithalamion from the state of Qi composed during the Spring and Autumn period, which was incorporated into the Shijing. During the Han dynasty, thanks to the analysis provided in the Mao recension, this song became associated with the notorious figure of Lady Wen Jiang, who murdered her husband when he discovered her incestuous affair with her older brother. Throughout the imperial era, commentators struggled to explain the association of the song with Lady Wen Jiang and to find condemnation for her actions in its innocuous wording. The intellectual contortions required to extract adequate condemnation of her behaviour are the subject of this paper. |
