What metaphors are there in A Dream of Red Mansions?

1 ? The moon is hard to meet, and the colorful clouds are easy to disperse. The heart is higher than the sky, based on this.

Romantic dexterity attracts people's disgust; Shoutian was born of slander, and the affectionate son was empty.

Baoyu saw the original books, supplementary books and supplementary books of twelve women in Jinling in "Bad luck Department", which were divided according to the identity and status of the girls in the Grand View Garden. The names of noble ladies and rich people are in the main book, the name of the girl between the lady and the maid is in the auxiliary book, and the name of the superior maid is in the auxiliary book. Baoyu read it from another pamphlet.

2 ? Alas, stop the machine, poor talent;

The jade belt hangs down the forest, and the golden hairpin buries the snow.

Comments:

This song is about Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu.

Baoyu was still puzzled by the "auxiliary book" and went to see the "main book". On the first page, he saw "two dead trees with a jade belt hanging on them;" Another pile of snow, golden hairpin under the snow (two dead trees are "Lin", and snow is homophonic with "Xue").

3 ? Warm in vain, empty clouds like osmanthus.

The actresses are blessed, but the sons have no chance.

This one is about Huaxi Ren.

Baoyu read Qingwen's verdict (of course, he didn't understand it), and then looked down "See a bunch of flowers painted behind, a broken bed" (the word "flower" is hidden in the flowers, and the word "attack" is hidden on the broken table). This is the next verdict.

Xiren turned out to be the maid beside Grandmother Jia, whose real name was Pearl. Worried that the people around her who loved Sun Baoyu were unreliable, Jia Mu gave this "childlike heart" girl to Baoyu. Because her surname is Hua, Baoyu changed her name to Hua Xiren according to Lu You's poem "The fragrance of flowers makes people feel warm".

4 ? Lotus root is fragrant one by one, and it is really hurt in life.

Since the birth of the orphan tree in the two places, the sweet soul has returned to its hometown.

This song is about Xiangling.

Baoyu couldn't understand the verdict on the volume, so he went to see the volume, only to see "a osmanthus tree, there is a pond below, and the water in it is dry, the lotus is dry, and the lotus root is weak", and then this verdict is followed.

Xiangling is a girl of the Xue family and a handmaiden, so she can't enter the "official book"; However, she used to be a noble lady of the Zhen family and couldn't get into the "supplementary book", so the author arranged her in the "supplementary book" between the master and the slave.

The first sentence is that "Xiangling" was originally "winning in a row"; Lien Win was abducted by kidnappers when he was three years old. She was brought up in her teens and sold to Xue Pan as his concubine. Later, Xue Pan married Xia Jingui, a bitch who made mischief. She was greedy, jealous, cruel and poisonous, and Xiangling was abused by them and died with a bitter heart. Regarding Xiangling's ending, this judgment is very clear. After Xia Jingui's death, Xiangling was righted and became his wife, which obviously did not conform to Cao Xueqin's original intention.

5 ? In the past 20 years, I have distinguished right from wrong, and I have a bright future.

Three spring for the early spring scenery, the tiger and rabbit meet and dream of returning to their hometown.

Comments:

This is about Jia Yuanchun.

In front of the verdict, "draw a bow with citron hanging on it" (the word "palace" homophonic with the bow means it is related to the court; Citron, a plant called bergamot, is yuan.

Yuan Chun is the eldest miss of Jia family and the eldest daughter of Jia Zheng. Because of her virtue and filial piety, she was elected to the palace as a female history (female official name). Later, she was named "History of Fengzao Palace" and "Moral Discipline" by Jin, and was the highest-ranking woman. Jia Jiaxuan's influence depends not only on his ancestors' fame and fortune, but also on the important relationship of his family's "Emperor and Mother".

6 ? I am smart and ambitious. I was born in the last days.

On the Qingming River, the east wind dreams.

This song is about tanchun.

Before sentencing, he drew two people flying kites, a sea and a big ship, in which a woman hid her face and sobbed. "This painting symbolizes that Tanchun left her homeland like a kite with a broken line. The boat and the sea are the hints of her distant marriage.

Tanchun was born to Jia Zheng's little wife, Aunt Zhao. She is the third of Jia's four sisters and the cleverest and most talented. To say that she is ambitious means that she wants to make a difference. Once, I wrote a paragraph about her managing the Grand View Garden on behalf of Xifeng, and she managed such complicated affairs in an orderly way, showing her unusual talent and being almost as smart as Xifeng.

7 What is wealth? My parents violated me when I was a baby.

The beautiful eyes hang oblique light, and the Xiangjiang River died in Chu Yunfei.

This song is about Shi Xiangyun.

Before the verdict, "draw a few wisps of flying clouds, but a bay is missing." "Oblique light" and "hidden clouds" in the reference words of Feiyun and "hidden Xiang" in the reference words of Xiangjiang River.

Xiangyun is the girl of Hou Shangshu, a historian, and the granddaughter of Shi Taijun. Soon after her birth, she lost the love of her parents, became an orphan, and grew up in front of her uncle and aunt. She came to the Grand View Garden, which was her happiest moment. At this time, she laughed loudly, lively and naughty. However, when I had to go home, my mood suddenly became cold. I repeatedly urged Baoyu to remind Grandmother Jia that she often came to pick her up. She left in tears, which shows that life at home is very unsatisfactory. What is the ending of such a handsome and cheerful daughter? "Eyes hanging down", that is to say, her married life is like a beautiful sunset.

8 ? Why do you want to be clean? Clouds are not necessarily empty.

Poor Xiaoyu finally got stuck in the mud.

This song is about Miaoyu.

Before sentencing, he drew a piece of beautiful jade and fell into the soil. The "beautiful jade" is a "wonderful jade", and the "dirt" and "mud" in the judgment are both unclean places.

Miaoyu was born in Suzhou, a "scholar-bureaucrat's family", and became a nun due to illness since childhood. She is "good at pen and ink" and "excellent in appearance", and she is also a beauty in the Grand View Garden. She is said to be "clean" because she thinks the secular society is disturbing and unclean, which is a layer of meaning; She's a neat freak again. Grandma Liu once had tea with her, and she actually wanted to throw away a rare kiln cup that Grandma Liu used. She wants to be spotless, but that society will not prepare that condition for her, and fate will arrange for her to go to the most unclean place. Being a monk according to the rules requires "six cleanliness", but she insists on "practicing with hair" and seems to have one hand, which is a basis for her heartbreak. On Baoyu's sixty-third birthday, Miaoyu specially sent a greeting card, which read: "Miaoyu, an outsider, comes from Chen Fang with great respect." A young nun celebrated a noble son's birthday, which was absurd at that time, which seemed to show that she unconsciously had a love for Baoyu. This kind of place writes a girl's secret thoughts in detail.
