Lin Daiyu's jokes as a child

Dai Yu's poem "Burying Flowers" should be regarded as a very long poem in A Dream of Red Mansions. Sad and sad, sad and sad, talking about how much lovesickness is left and how much life is helpless.

It's sunny now, and my sisters are playing around.

Daiyu sobbed and buried flowers alone on the hillside, hiding her sweet soul.

The more lively others are, the more lonely they are.

It's just that if you want to stand in the middle of a group of wronged and tearful hilarious people, you have to smile and agree, otherwise you are worried that others will secretly blame themselves for ruining everyone's fun. It's better to stay away from them and do your own thing.

Listen to her cry way:

"Flowers fade, flowers fly all over the sky, and who has pity when the fragrance disappears?"

Now is the time when the awn has been planted, the flower god has abdicated, and the summer solstice has not yet arrived.

Daiyu loves flowers most in her life, and often compares her fate with her own, which is also the difficulty of her sentimentality. Perhaps beautiful tragedies are often sympathetic, and she is naturally pessimistic, so many times she thinks that after the flowers wither, she will "bury jade" and build a "Hua Zhong" for them, with a "happy ending".

Maybe she will miss a lot of blooming scenes.

However, even if she sees the flowers in full bloom, she should not simply appreciate and cherish the moment of spring, but shed tears while enjoying them, thinking: in the end, it will turn into dust and dirt.

When she saw the flowers withered, blown away by the wind and flying all over the sky, she couldn't help thinking of her grievances in Jiafu, a place where there were no parents.

I am as delicate as those flowers, but I am scattered all over the floor. I pitied them and built a "Hua Zhong" for them to bury. But if one day I die and the fragrance disappears, who will pity me?

Indeed, no one treats these flowers more piteously than Daiyu. On the big day when Baoyu married Baochai, her soul returned to the unfortunate department, accompanied by only Zijuan, Li Wan and Tan Chun.

The so-called funeral, Jia Fu also can't afford to give her a decent, but a few drops of tears down, it ended hastily.

"The hair is soft and floating in the spring pavilion, and the falling flowers and catkins touch the embroidered curtain".

"gossamer" often refers to "spider silk" and "pavilion" refers to some garden buildings hidden in the surrounding scenery for people to have a rest.

Those soft spider silk remnants hang in the pavilions where the curtains are about to close in spring, and the embroidered curtains are also stained with flying catkins.

Mood determines the shape of things you see.

If a person is cheerful, then he will feel cool on cloudy days; On the other hand, if a disheartened person, even on a sunny day, he will find the sunshine harsh and annoying.

Daiyu's mood at this time was full of grief and indignation, and she didn't pay attention to whether it was sunny or breezy at that time, so she naturally swept her eyes to those broken and ruined scenes.

Of course, that will increase sadness.

Only "catkin" often symbolizes the character of "noble people", which is consistent with the lofty attitude held by Daiyu.

"The daughter in the boudoir cherishes the spring dusk, and she is full of nowhere to release."

The girl in the boudoir pities the late spring scenery, full of sadness and nowhere to tell.

Sorry for the passing of spring, but also sorry for your beauty.

After all, the death of a beauty, the death of a hero and Jiang Lang's talent are called "the three great sorrows of life".

Only when we talk about this kind of "beauty fading", it doesn't just mean that women's youthful looks are prone to aging, but it is often used by some poets and poets to express their sadness of "white hair" without establishing their career ambitions.

This is also Daiyu's sigh that she is "beautiful and old".

"hoe the flowers out of the embroidered curtain with both hands and endure falling flowers again and again."

I walked out of the embroidered curtain with a hoe in my hand. How can I bear to trample off the flowers repeatedly when I walk?

Daiyu couldn't bear to walk on the fallen flowers, for fear that the dirt on her shoes would be trampled. Although the flower has fallen, we should keep it innocent.

This is also the reason why Daiyu herself values innocence, whether before or after death.

Just as she was dying, she took Zijuan and said, "Sister, I have no relatives here. My body is clean, so at least ask them to send me back. "

When Daiyu said "I am clean", she should emphasize that she had never done anything with Baoyu.

She is innocent, don't frame her as innocent, even if their feelings are not recognized.

"Liu Cong Fang Fei is long, regardless of whether the peach floats with Li Fei".

Silk tapestries of willow and elm seeds only show their youth, but they don't care whether peach blossoms wither or plum blossoms wither.

This sentence is really a bit "everyone has his own desire to sweep the snow."

Everyone thinks about their own struggle, but few people pay attention to the situation of others.

This also highlights Daiyu's loneliness in Jiafu, and few people can speak and understand themselves.

Because he is an orphan, his mind is sensitive, and he is often neglected, so there is always a feeling of indifference.

But her heart longs for a few bosom friends.

And a girl like her seems aloof, but it's actually easy to satisfy.

Zijuan has been with her, and she really cares about herself, so she is a bosom friend.

Originally, she still had bad feelings for Baochai, but after accepting Baochai's enlightenment and Aunt Xue's concern, she trusted them and confided in them.

So Daiyu is very grateful for the warmth she gave her.

"Peach and plum can be sent again next year. Who do you know in the boudoir next year? "

Peach blossoms and plum blossoms can bloom again next year (they can bloom every year, which is a natural law, and flowers bloom and fall sometimes), but where is the girl in this boudoir next year?

Flowers bloom and fall is a natural law, but it is also a natural law of human beings. Where did the boudoir girl go next year? Are you still there? Still married? Or is it already dead?

This is also her sentimental confusion about the uncertain future.

I depend on others now, and my fate is out of my control. Day after day, year after year, where will I eventually go?

Here she envies the fate of peach blossom and plum blossom.

"In March, the fragrant nest has been built, and Liang Yanyan is too ruthless. Although you can pick flowers next year, no one will go to Liang's empty nest. "

In March, the fragrant nest of swallows has been built, and the swallows in the beam are too ruthless. Although it shows that when the flowers bloom in the new year, you can still hold flowers to build a nest, but unexpectedly, everyone in this room has left, the beam is over, and the swallow nest has fallen down.

Swallows often like to nest in pairs under other people's eaves. It is generally said that where swallows nest is a good omen for that family.

Swallow images in ancient poems are often used to express "the beauty of spring" and "the feeling of cherishing spring" ...

Swallows in pairs are also used to express the beauty of "love"

For example, Yan Xiaoshan (Yan)' s "Linjiang Fairy, Shut the Balcony after a Dream" has a sentence like "The fallen flowers are independent and the swift flies together".

He saw pairs of swallows, but the thought of being alone only added a little sadness to his envy.

Of course, when Daiyu sees people going to the empty nest here, there must be a feeling that things have changed. When people leave, the swallows are gone.

However, is the swallow heartless or the human heartless?

How could this man have the heart to leave?

Probably sometimes I am forced to be helpless, unable to control my own destiny, leaving or dying.

Swallows can naturally find another place to stay and continue their warm reunion.

If Daiyu saw the swallows in pairs and looked at herself alone, it would definitely be more sad.

"360 days a year, the wind knife and frost sword are pressing hard."

There are 360 days out of 365 days in the whole year, when wind, knife, frost and sword press each other.

Of course, the "wind knife and frost sword" here is not only a seemingly cold wind and frost forcing itself to submit like a sword, but also has a profound meaning: it is a metaphor for the dark and harsh living environment.

Daiyu expressed her distress and pain in Jia's family.

When she first came to Jiafu, she knew that she was different from ordinary people, so she "refused to say one more word" and "refused to take one more step".

In fact, many of her sensitivities are also related to her special concern for self-esteem and not wanting to be gossiped behind her back.

Besides, she came to Jiafu as a guest.

In the long run, her psychological pressure is actually quite great, and she often has some anxiety.

Sometimes when she hears someone swearing, she thinks she is cursing herself, so she secretly tears and aggravates the symptoms.

For example, in the eighty-third chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions, "Jia provincial imperial secretary, sick girl, Xue Baochai's throat", Daiyu heard an old woman scold outside the window: "You little adult hoof! What are you, stirring around in this garden? " I thought I was cursing myself, but my heart ached so much that I cried.

At this time, Tanchun asked the old lady for her, which is a good thing. It turned out that the old woman was teaching her grandson and daughter a lesson.

Dai jade just recovered.

However, this time it happened to be Tanchun.

It is estimated that Sister Lin has suspected this kind of thing many times, so there can't be a person around to ask clearly.

This is also an important reason why she feels that "the wind and the sword are pressing each other."

And her worry is not unreasonable. After all, there are always more snobs than enthusiastic people in the garden.

She used to live here, and her food and clothing were in Jiafu. No one can buy popularity with family money like Baochai. For example, go to the kitchen and ask Liu Jie for something and give her some benefits. )

But Daiyu's own aloofness can't make her feel inferior to others, so be more careful.

Contradictory feelings, inferiority and aloof.

"How long can the bright colors last? Once wandering, it is hard to find. "

How long can this flower stay bright and beautiful?

The word "wandering" here, when it comes to flowers, should mean "dying".

Once the flowers wither and the branches are blown down by the wind, it is difficult to find its trace again.

The metaphor of "flower withering" is "human death".

It was Daiyu who lamented that she didn't know how many beautiful youth years were left. If she died in the future, she didn't know where the sweet soul went.

But now we should advocate the concept of "living in the present". Since it is difficult to predict what will happen in the future, even we don't know which comes first, tomorrow or accident, so we might as well cherish the beauty of the present.

Cherish fate and follow it.

Sometimes, if you think too much, you are too tired.

But it is also easy to miss the fate of passing by.

"Flowers bloom easily, flowers fall hard to find, and people who bury flowers suffocate in front of the steps."

You can see it when it blooms (it's beautiful and exquisite), but once it falls, how can you find traces of its past (it's all residual flowers, who is who)?

(This scene) makes me a flower burial person standing in front of the steps depressed.

When the flowers bloom, they are independent and compete for beauty, but after withering, they will never be seen again, regardless of you and me.

Daiyu stood in front of these fallen flowers and was very distressed to see their ruined appearance after being weathered by the wind and the sun.

Once again, when I think of the branches I saw in the past, I can think more of the unique scenery among girls when I was alive, but if I die, who can remember who is who?

She is so familiar with these flowers that she can't recognize them now.

Who can remember her as an old friend after that? Baoyu? How long can you stay in his heart? Is it clear or vague?

Reminds me of Baoyu's visit to Daiyu after her death. In the ninety-eighth chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions, the soul of bitter crimson beads left the land of lovesickness with tears that the God of Heaven should hate:

Baoyu said, "I heard that an old friend died, so I searched here and didn't feel lost." The man said, "Who is the old friend?" Baoyu said, "Gu Sulin and Daiyu." The man sneered: "Lin Daiyu was born different from others, and died different from ghosts, without soul." Where can I find her? " Mortal souls gather together, disperse into qi, gather before death, and disperse after death. Ordinary people have nothing to visit, let alone Lin Daiyu. Hurry home. "

But this old friend can't be found after all.

"I only shed tears when I hoe incense, but I saw blood stains when I sprinkled it on the branches above."

I can only cry secretly while waving a hoe to bury flowers. My tears can be seen on the empty branches.

Daiyu was crying for flowers here alone. When she buried the flowers in Hua Zhong, she was also thinking, if she died later, would anyone cry for herself?

She said that the tears on the empty branches are all "blood in tears", but they are too sad to express themselves.

And people who have this kind of performance must be very concerned about the person who died, so they will have deep feelings.

Daiyu doesn't know, if she dies in the future, will people she cares about, such as Baoyu, be so sad that they can't control themselves? How many tears will he shed for himself?

"The cuckoo is silent at dusk, and the lotus hoe returns to cover the heavy door."

The cuckoo stopped crowing at dusk. I closed the indoor door and left with a flower hoe.

I also mentioned that the image of cuckoo is a sad image when I talked about cuckoo in Friends and the series of characters in the Red Chamber.

That cry is always like people say "it is better to go home" and "it is better to go home".

Go home? Where are you going?

Hua Zhong built by Daiyu is the destination of fallen flowers. What about Daiyu's own? Where is your home?

Where is the land I come from? where am I going?

"Blue light shines on the wall, people sleep first, and the window is not warm."

The light was cold and reflected on the wall, and people just fell asleep. The cold rain is beating on the window lattice, but the bedding on my bed is not warm yet.

Daiyu's own sleep quality is not very good, and she rarely gets a good sleep, which is also an important reason for her weak body. So people are often asleep, and she has a lonely pillow.

Moreover, night is the easiest time to think. If it is windy and rainy outside the window and the indoor lights are cold, it will make you feel more lonely and add more sadness.

"The quilt is not warm yet" can't sleep, but it's just an excuse. Obviously, I think too much, so I can't sleep, or even don't want to sleep.

"Blame slave bottom thing times frustrating? Half out of pity and half out of trouble. "

"Basic things" means "what things", and "times" means "more and more" here, which can be translated into "so" in the sentence.

(Others) will surely wonder why I hurt Shen Yuan so much. (They don't know) I am partly because I pity spring and partly because I am angry with spring.

Is this the so-called "deep responsibility of love"?

The reason for this is the following：

"pity spring suddenly went to bother and went to silence."

I pity the sudden arrival of spring, and I am angry that spring has left without saying goodbye. Whether you come or go, you won't tell me.

After Daiyu's heart was broken here, she was not as open-minded as Zhang Ailing.

What's more, it was only spring that hurt Daiyu, but it was Hu Lancheng who hurt Aileen.

After Aileen broke her heart in Hulan City, she could still say so generously in her letter: I thought you could come here and go anywhere in the future.

But even so, there will still be infinite sadness in my heart.

But Daiyu didn't want those "comings and goings" because she would be "pitied" and "annoyed".

From Dai Yu's feelings about these normal natural phenomena, I find that she is still a little "childish" and lovely.

This is also a bit like Huang Tingjian's "Where is the Pure Peace and Happiness" full of childlike innocence:

Where does spring come back? Lonely, no road. If anyone knows where spring went. Call back and live together.

There is no breath of spring. Unless you ask an oriole. Nobody can solve it, because the wind flies over the roses.

Where is spring? I want it back. But no one knows.

"Last night, I heard a sad song outside the court, knowing that it was a flower soul and a bird soul"?

There was a sad song outside the courtyard last night. I don't know whether it is the soul of a flower or a bird.

"A flower and a bird's soul are always hard to stay, and birds are ashamed of themselves without words."

Whether it is the soul of a flower or the soul of a bird, it is always difficult to retain it.

(If you want to ask anything), (Ask the bird), the bird can't talk, (Ask the flower), and the flower just bows its head in shame.

If Daiyu compares herself to this flower and bird, it should be an expression of the feeling that "words in my heart are hard to open".

I won't tell you if you ask me. Maybe I don't want to say it, maybe I can't say it.

Just like her love with Baoyu, it's hard to say the word "love" except your guess.

And the more so, the more you doubt the sincerity of the other party. Even if you already know the sincerity, you still have to get into an argument.

Or I can't say a lot of grievances I have suffered here, because girls who rely on others should pay more attention to self-esteem and self-respect.

May slaves grow wings and fly to the end of the sky with flowers.

I hope I can have a pair of wings around me, so that I can fly to the end of the sky with that flower.

Want to fly away, want to escape, is to express the hope of freedom, in order to get rid of the cage that imprisons yourself.

Daiyu's thought is rebellious, but it can only be suppressed in real life, so she hopes to turn into a flying flower and fly to the horizon.

After all, where is Xiangshan?

At the end of the world, where will there be a buried Hua Zhong?

Not many people will build a "Hua Zhong" for the sake of falling flowers. Even with Dai Yu, not many people care so much.

If you love flowers and burial as much as Daiyu, that's her confidant.

This may also be why Daiyu asked, "Where is a bosom friend in the end of the world? Who knows my heart? Who knows what I mean? "

"Without beautiful bones, a pile of pure land hides the wind."

"Not if" means "not as good as", "not as good as" and "not as good as".

I might as well put these once beautiful fallen flowers in a kit and cover their lives with a piece of pure land.

This reminds me of what Baoyu read when he wrote "Daughter of Lotus" for the dead Qingwen: "The son in the red account is affectionate; In Huangtuling, "My daughter is unlucky" was heard by Daiyu, and they looked at the scene in the poem carefully.

Later, Baoyu changed it to "under the screen window, I missed it;" Huangtuling, dark victory ",Daiyu suddenly changed color.

Because the window screen of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion where Daiyu lives is four screens, this obituary was originally written for Qingwen, and finally became the fate of Daiyu.

Daiyu buried flowers and hid the wind with a pile of pure land.

The use of "pure land" also reflects her perseverance in upholding noble character, but when she buried flowers, she didn't expect that she would only be covered with loess in the future and get things done hastily.

In this contrast, it seems that the fate of the flower she pities is better. Although she compares herself to a flower, the flower has at least someone she cherishes.

"It is better to clean up the quality than to sink into the ditch."

Flowers originally came with cleanliness, so they should also go with cleanliness. (I built Hua Zhong to bury them), it's better than them getting dirty in a dirty ditch.

What Daiyu always pursues is that noble character will not be polluted by this turbid world. She was distressed that the flowers fell in the dirty ditch, and she was distressed that she could not extricate herself in this muddy world.

Miao Yu is also a lofty person and doesn't want to go along with the secular. Her judgment is "to be clean, you can't be empty." Poor Xiaoyu finally got stuck in the mud. "

Because people who are too tall are jealous and those who are too clean are too suspicious, women like them end up stuck in the mud.

"I died and buried today, and I don't know when I will die."

Now that you are withered, I will bury your sweet soul, but I don't know when (an unfortunate person like me) will die.

Daiyu told the flowers what was in her heart. I don't know when to return.

"The man who buried flowers today is stupid, but who did he know when he buried them?" ?

Now that I have buried the sweet soul of the flower, others will only laugh at me for doing something stupid, but how will people know who buried it?

Who knows what is behind him except before his death? Laughing at me at the same time, I actually didn't know that our final fate was the same, and they were all a pile of loess.

"Try to see the spring flowers gradually fall, that is, the beauty dies of old age."

"Try it" means "look at it".

Look at the time when spring is about to pass and flowers are dying, that is, it is time for those beautiful women to get old and decline.

The skeleton of a good educated youth tomb is the person who hides his face in the red chamber.

Like a woman's youth, this flower is beautiful and easy to grow old. So fold the flowers straight, don't wait until there are no flowers.

"Don't sing sad songs for me, I don't know what happened."

When spring dies completely, beauty will eventually die. At that time, flowers will die, people will die, and no one knows who.

Daiyu also pities flowers, thinking that if she dies in the future, who else will pity flowers?

It's just that the whole article is comparing itself with the fate of flowers, so it's also thinking about myself: if I die in the future, who will pity me?

Attachment: Original text of "Burying Flowers"

Flowers fade, flowers fly all over the sky, who pity the red incense?

The spring pavilion floats softly, and the falling wool touches the embroidered curtain.

The daughter in the boudoir cherishes the spring dusk and looks sad.

Hoe out the embroidered curtain with your hands and endure falling flowers again and again.

The pods of willows and elms come from wheat straw, regardless of whether peaches float with Li Fei.

Peaches and plums can be delivered next year. Who do you know in the boudoir next year?

The fragrant nest has been built in March, and Liang Zhongyan is too heartless.

Although you can peck flowers and hairs next year, it is not easy for people to go to the empty nest.

360 days a year, the wind and sword are threatening.

How long can it be bright and fresh? Once wandering, it's hard to find.

Flowers are easy to see but hard to find, and those who bury them are worried.

I hoe flowers alone and shed tears in the dark, only to find blood on the branches above.

The cuckoo was silent at dusk, and the lotus hoe returned to cover the heavy door.

When the blue light shone on the wall, people began to sleep, but the window was not warm.

Blaming slaves is double depression, half pity and half trouble;

The pity of spring suddenly left me bored and even speechless.

Last night, I sent a sad song outside the court, knowing that it was a flower soul and a bird soul?

The soul of a flower and a bird is always hard to stay, and the bird is ashamed of itself without words.

May slaves have wings and fly to the end of the sky with flowers.

After all, where is Xiangshan?

There is no trick, a pile of pure land to shelter the wind.

It's better to be clean than trapped in a ditch.

I'm going to die and be buried today. I don't know when Nong will die

The man who buried the flowers is laughing today, but who did he know when he buried them?

Let's see the residual flowers of spring gradually falling, which is the time when beauty dies of old age.

There is no sad song for me, I don't know what happened.
