◆ A song about the pouch worn at the waist. A maiden who has embroidered a beautiful pouch, took it to the market to sell it. When someone wants to buy the pouch from her, she says she doesn't want money but a man who will marry her. In the past, these pouches were a means of judging a woman's embroidery skills and women who were good with the needle were considered good candidate as a bride.
