What are the five beauties of Daiyu?

As the absolute protagonist in A Dream of Red Mansions, Lin Daiyu's beauty and talent account for a certain proportion. As one of Lin Daiyu's most famous poems, Wu Mei Yin is a poem describing five beautiful women in history, but what are those five beautiful women in Wu Mei Yin? Why did Daiyu sing five good songs? Are the five beautiful songs complete? If you want to know the reason, then take a look at the following related introduction!

Brief introduction of five beautiful songs by Daiyu

Xishi

A generation of the whole city chased the waves, and Wu Gongkong recalled his son's family.

The effect is not to laugh at the women in the east village, but to wear yarn by the white stream.

Heartbroken chasing night Feng Xiao, I hate your heavy pupil.

Influenced by his age, how can Peng Gan drink his sword in the tent?

Fermin

Absolutely gorgeous and stunning out of the Han Palace, the beauty of life is thin and ancient.

Even if the king is light-colored, what kind of painter will he seize power?

Lvzhu

A pearl-like gravel was left behind, and Wei Shi was beautiful.

They were all born before the stubborn blessing, and they were more comfortable and lonely.

great blessing/bliss

A long talk is different, and a beautiful woman with big eyes knows the end.

I can't live in a tent in Yang Gong, so I can't hold my female husband.

Are Dai Yu's five beautiful songs complete?

Shi,,, Lv Zhu, Hongfu ... wrote five songs in a row. Lin Daiyu felt a little sleepy and fell asleep. Jia Baoyu came here, and after reading the poem, he was speechless, entitled "Five Beautiful Songs".

First, Five Beautiful Songs is an unfinished work. Lin Daiyu is not only thinking about these five women, but also trying to figure out their creativity. Maybe there's more. Because I haven't finished writing, I was "disturbed" by Jia Baoyu, and the name has been decided. It's Five Beautiful Songs, so I'll pretend I didn't write it. If Jia Baoyu hadn't been "disruptive", it might have been eight beautiful songs, ten beautiful songs, or even more.

Secondly, in the order of dynasty alternation and historical development, the five women in Five Beautiful Songs, from the stone in the Spring and Autumn Period to the Chu and Han Dynasties, from the late Western Han Dynasty to the Green Pearl in the Western Jin Dynasty, to the Hongfu in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and from the end of slave society to the heyday of feudal society, have completely demonstrated the historical development track.

3. The five women praised in Five Beautiful Songs are neither real figures in history, nor figures in folklore or literary works, but are based on the framework of a historical figure's name or story, and are composite novels of historical figures, legends and literary figures. (fortune telling)

Four, the five women in Wu Mei Yin are tragic figures who are completely materialized, enslaved and instrumentalized by male chauvinism, except for their talents. History and peace have a lot in common. They are both chess pieces and chips in the political struggle between emperors, and are forced by the ruling class to embark on the tragic road of life. After that, one of them threw himself into the river, and the other was buried in the "green grave" to carry out his personal life tragedy to the end. The key to Lvzhu's life tragedy is female bureaucracy, and she is willing to be a man's accessory. She is a woman who is completely enslaved in thought and action. She was originally a "pearl", but was regarded as "rubble" by Shi Chong. Finally, she committed suicide by jumping off a building for Shi Chong. She thinks this is "favoritism", but in others' view, this feat is just "martyrdom". Yu Ji's tragedy is that she chose a "mentally handicapped person" who is strong in appearance but very fragile in heart. After the defeat, Chu songs were everywhere, and Xiang Yu fell into a desperate situation in life. First, he said "helplessness" to his own mount, then said "helplessness" to his beloved princess, and finally committed suicide by drinking a sword under the supervision of Xiang Yu. Hongfu's tragedy is manifested in her first half of life. In order to survive, she followed a "dead" zombie man, was occupied by the cold and ugly Su Yang, and made a compromise under the coercion and inducement of Su Yang, wasting her youth.

5. The story of Diusim in Romance of the Three Kingdoms is ahead of the Green Pearl in the Western Jin Dynasty. As far as beauty is concerned, it ranks among the four beauties in ancient China, but it does not occupy a place among the "talented women" praised by Lin Daiyu. There is a reason for this. People with a little knowledge of history should know that the original intention of "The Story of Diusim" is the hat ornaments of the attendants in the Han Dynasty, not her name. In all the official documents and ancient books, there is no record about the story of diusim. In the biography of the Three Kingdoms-Lu Bu, only the historical fact that Lu Bu had an affair with Dong Zhuo's maid-in-waiting was recorded-"Zhuo often hides cloth in the cabinet, and cloth is having an affair with Zhuo's maid-in-waiting, so he is afraid of being discovered and uneasy"; The historical fact that Dong Zhuo angrily stabbed Lu Bu is also recorded in the biography of Lu Bu in the Three Kingdoms-"Zhuo was just arrogant and frustrated, throwing his halberd on the cloth and avoiding it with his fist." It can be seen that the contradictory information between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu should be true, but there is no evidence that this "maid" is the story of Diusim. The story of Deusim's name and deeds is only described in literary works and unofficial history. Therefore, The Story of Diesim, like Lin Daiyu, is just a symbol of literary works. The character of The Story of Diesim may have been invented by Luo Guanzhong, but there is no real person. In addition, the current 120 edition of Romance of the Three Kingdoms was written by Mao Lun and Mao Zonggang during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, and was revised by adding or deleting words. Therefore, the story of the Three Kingdoms is really popular among the people, which should be later than the Kangxi era of the Qing Dynasty, and even later than the era of "Lin Daiyu" written by Cao Xueqin. There is no record in "Ancient History", and an image of the story of Diesim, which spread late among the people, is not printed in Lin Daiyu's heart, so it is not surprising that there is no story of Diesim in "Five Wonders".

Six, the Spring and Autumn Period to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the women listed in the "Five Beauty Songs", if they continue to write, will they be written in Yang Yuhuan, one of the "four beauties" recorded in official history and widely circulated among the people? My opinion is negative. First of all, although Yang Yuhuan died tragically in Maweipo in the end, she was loved endlessly by the emperors of the Tang Dynasty before her death, and her scenery was infinite. At this point, Yang Yuhuan should be regarded as a "happy woman", which is quite different from the tragic fate of the five women listed by Lin Daiyu. Secondly, the 27th episode of A Dream of Red Mansions is "A butterfly was beaten by Yang Fei in the dripping pavilion and a swallow was crying and dying in the fragrant house", and the author compared Xue Baochai to Yang Guifei. The thirtieth time, Jia Baoyu saw that "Baochai was plump with white skin and brittle arms" and was moved by "envy". He said to Baochai, "No wonder they compared her sister to Princess Yang. It turns out that she is afraid of heat." Baochai said, "I look alike, but I don't have a good brother who can be Yang!" At that time, Lin Daiyu was sitting on one side, and what Xue Baochai compared with Yang Guifei would naturally be printed in Lin Daiyu's mind. Jia Baoyu's lust for Xue Baochai's body further aggravated Lin Daiyu's dislike of Xue Baochai. Thirdly, in A Dream of Red Mansions, Lin Daiyu is very hostile to Xue Baochai: Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu were fine, but suddenly Xue Baochai stepped in, and Xue Baochai was easy-going and liked by everyone, which greatly overshadowed Lin Daiyu. Lin Daiyu dislikes and even hates Xue Baochai from the bottom of her heart. Therefore, if Lin Daiyu continues to write five beautiful songs without being disturbed by Jia Baoyu, Yang Guifei (Xue Baochai's comparison) will not be written into eight beautiful songs or ten beautiful songs, whether from the public point of view or from a private point of view.

Poetry appreciation

The effect of Dong Shi is from Zhuangzi, which is an allegory. The plot recorded in Miscellanies of Xijing that Zhao Jun refused to bribe the painter without being known to Yuan Di is just a legend. As for the image of Hongfu in The Passer-by, it has been artistically processed by the legendary author. The discussion in the poem satirizes the present by borrowing from the past, which is made for the realistic feelings. Daiyu lamented the beauty of "a generation of beautiful cities", such as the river flowing eastward, the waves fading away, and the empty memories and family ties could not come back. The misfortune of her fate is far above the "East Village Girl" wearing a white gauze. This is a sad story. She sent herself to Jia's house, where she had no relatives and thought that she would be ill for a long time. He, who is contemptuous and capricious, competitive, and willing to be humiliated, feels that he is not as good as "drinking the sword" in Chu Ci, but entrusts her with his wish of "leading an honest and clean life rather than falling into a ditch". She mocked the abdication of Emperor Han Yuan and obeyed the painter, showing her independent character of refusing to be pushed around. She sympathized with Lvzhu and blamed Shi Chong. She thinks that Shi Chong's kindness to Pearl and Jade before his death is not enough for Green Pearl to repay him with her death when he is in danger. It can also be seen that he pays attention to emotional feelings in love and has a tacit understanding in spirit. She admired Hongfu's resourcefulness and courage, which freed her from the "fetters" of the prime minister's power and feudal ethics, and more prominently demonstrated her bold pursuit of the ideal of a free and happy life. Does the song in the poem also take care of the plot of the novel? This is a problem that can be studied. It seems no accident that all five poems are about death or separation, and some also involve arrest or conviction. The theme of the last poem seems to be far from the plot of the novel, but some terms are like puns, such as "knowing the end of the road" Hongfu ran away and was not detained by "residual gas corpse" Yang Fu. Didn't Dai Yu finally leave Jia Fu, a "corpse with residual gas", and return to the heaven of hate? Of course, it is not easy to clarify the author's intention exactly when there are not many existing materials. By the way, in Qi and Chen Jia's Preface, there is an early comment that "five verses are better than ten verses". There are no poems written by Baochai or Xiangyun in the second half of the last forty chapters of Ten Duyin. Judging from the title of the poem, it is probably based on the worries of ten lonely women in ancient history, such as widows, abandoned wives, nuns and divorced women, and writes the realistic feelings at that time. The so-called "contrast" is not limited to poetry.
