Wonderful fragments of a dream of red mansions+appreciation

Daiyu pities flowers the most, thinking that flowers are the cleanest buried in the soil after falling, which shows that she has a unique view on beauty. She wrote a funeral poem, comparing herself to a flower, which is one of the most beautiful poems in A Dream of Red Mansions. Baoyu and Daiyu had a conversation when they buried flowers, which became the swan song between lovers in A Dream of Red Mansions. It is one of the most classic fragments in A Dream of Red Mansions, and no one who has seen A Dream of Red Mansions will forget it.

The origin of the story of flower burial

When it comes to the origin of the flower burial story, some people say that the "Yin of flower burial" comes from two poems by Tang Yin (A Dream of Red Mansions). Poetry is of course borrowed from others, but the relationship between "source" and "flow" of literary and artistic creation cannot be confused. When it comes to the use of some words, sentences and artistic styles in previous works, it is really unnecessary to look for them in the collections of Ming people. Isn't it enough to borrow and use some well-known poems such as "The colors change this year, who will bloom next year" and "Flowers are similar year after year, and people are different year after year" in Liu Xiyi's "Waiting for the North Pulsatilla" in the early Tang Dynasty? That is, if the plot of burying flowers, it may not follow the story of Tang Yin's peony flower "filling the tip and burying the east bank of the medicine column". Cao Yin, the author's grandfather, wrote a poem "A peach blossom buried in a lonely grave for a hundred years". Isn't that enough to inspire his thoughts? But these are all "streams", only used. They can neither represent the main spirit of poetry nor replace the author's creation divorced from real life. What's more, as mentioned above, the author's ingenious writing in this poem does not lie in the lingering words that hurt spring and cherish flowers on the surface.

Of course, the negative depression in Burying Flowers is also extremely strong and can not be ignored. It has a bad influence on readers who lack analytical thinking ability. Although this kind of emotion is completely in line with Lin Daiyu's ideological character formed by her artistic environmental position, after all, because the author consciously expresses his life experience through the mouth of the person he loves, to some extent, it exposes the weakness of his thoughts. We sympathize with Lin Daiyu, but at the same time we also see that this sentimental aristocratic lady is very fragile in thoughts and feelings.
