Although Qingwen is one of the maids who only lived in the world for 16 years, Tso Gong put it in a prominent position of "another copy", wrote Qingwen with a lot of pen and ink, and also devoted the author's grief and tears, aiming at erecting a monument for a group of women like Qingwen, so as to achieve the effect of "a thousand red holes (crying) and Wan Yan drinking together (sadness)".

"The moon is hard to meet, and the colorful clouds are easy to disperse." "Yue Ji" is a bright and cheerful realm. The new sunny day after the rain is called auspicious, which means "sunny". "Colorful clouds" means beautiful women. Clouds are colorful and called Wen, which shows that the name "Qingwen" was refined from this, indicating that people like Qingwen are extremely rare.

Qingwen was expelled from the Grand View Garden and died of depression. "Affectionate son" Baoyu was heartbroken and wrote a sincere and touching "Daughter of Lotus".

Baoyu uses four beautiful things in nature as metaphors, such as jade, ice and snow, the sun and the moon, and uses four noblest metaphors to describe her beauty and nobility.
