Appreciation of the original text
The flowers are flying all over the sky, and who has pity for them? The silk is softly tied to the spring pavilion, and the falling flakes are lightly stained on the embroidered curtains.
The daughter of a boudoir is sad about the end of spring, and there is no place for her to go. I'm not going to be able to get a good look at it, but I'm going to be able to get a good look at it, and I'm going to be able to get a good look at it.
Willow silk and elm pods are the most beautiful of all, regardless of whether they are peach or plum. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get it back next year, but I'm sure I'll be able to get it back next year," he said.
The nests were built in March, but the swallows were too merciless! I can peck at the flowers next year, but I can't tell you that the nest will be empty even if the beam is empty.
Three hundred and sixty days a year, the winds and frosts and swords are pressing. The first time I saw this was when I was a kid, and it was the first time I'd ever seen a kid. I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to do with this.
Flower blossoms are easy to see and hard to find, the steps in front of the boring killed the funeral flowers. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm going to be able to do it, and I'm going to be able to do it.
The azalea was silent at dusk, and the hoe returned to cover the door. The light of the green lamp is shining on the wall, and the cold rain is knocking on the window, but the blanket is not yet warm.
They are the ones who have been in the business for a long time, and they are the ones who have been in the business for a long time. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new one, and you'll be able to do that. The first thing you need to do is to get the money to pay for it.
Last night there was a sad song outside the court, and I knew it was the soul of a flower and the soul of a bird. The soul of the flower and the soul of the bird is always difficult to stay, and the bird has no words to say, but the flower is ashamed of itself.
I wish I could have wings under my arm and fly with the flowers to the end of the sky. I'm not sure where to find a place in the sky.
It's not as if I've got a bag full of colorful bones, and a shovelful of clean earth to cover up my style. The quality of the original clean and also clean to go, strong in the dirty slush trapped in the ditch.
When you die, you'll be buried, but I don't know when you'll die. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it in a few years.
Watch the flowers fall in the spring, that's when your face will grow old and die. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good deal on this, but I'm sure I'll be able to get a good deal on this," he said!
---- from Dream of Red Mansions, 27th chapter: Yang Feifei plays with colorful butterflies in Dicui Pavilion, and Flying Swallow weeps for the remnants of red in Burying Incense Mound
Reviews by famous writers
Burial of the Flowers is a representation of the entire lamentation of Lin Daiyu's lamentation of her encounters with the world and is the most important part of the story of the author, Cao Xueqin. important work by which author Cao Xueqin molds this artistic image and expresses her character traits. Like the Eulogy for the Daughter of Hibiscus, it is a text that the author made an effort to copy. This song is stylistically modeled after the early Tang dynasty style of singing, and is artistically successful as it is lyrically dripping with emotion.
The poem is not all sadness and sorrow, which still has a kind of depression and injustice. "Willow elm pods since the fragrance, regardless of the peach and Li Fei", there are sent to the world of cold, cold and warm resentment; "360 days a year, the wind and frost swords severely forced," is not a long persecution of her cold and merciless reality of the accusation? "I wish I could have wings under my arms and fly with the flowers to the end of the sky. At the end of the sky, where is the fragrant hill? It is not as if I were to put away my colorful bones in a brocade bag, or hide my style in a cup of pure earth. The quality of the original clean but also clean to go, stronger than the dirt in the ditch." It is in the fantasy of freedom and happiness and can not be obtained, the kind of unwillingness to be humiliated by the dirt, unwilling to bow down and submit to the lonely and arrogant character. These are its ideological values.
Another value of this poem is that it provides us with important clues to explore the tragedy of Bao Dai under Cao Xueqin. A Hundred and Thirty-four, the poignant regret, people forget the world, raise the pen and then four, can not be under the approval. A guest day: 'Mr. body is not the Lord of the treasure, how can I write?" That is, the word double circle, the words through the fairy, I think it is difficult to Sui knitting children's will, once you see the brother Yu after the text and then approved.' I'm so sorry! I want to block the rest of the book of stone to come, scattered stop writing to wait."
It is worth noting that the critique pointed out that: not read the "jade brother after the text" is no way to criticize the poem; the critic "stop writing to wait" is also related to the poem "after the text! The author of the book "stopped writing" to wait for the "afterword" related to the poem. The so-called "later text" undoubtedly refers to the second half of the anonymous manuscript, which is written about Daiyu's death. If the poem only generally to fall flowers to symbolize the thin life of the red face, then there is no need to wait for the latter text; only the poem is not written in general terms, and most of the later Daiyu's death is related to the plot of the sound, it is necessary to emphasize that, after reading the latter text, you should go back to deepen the understanding of the poem again. From this, we can see that "Burying Flowers" is actually a prophecy of Lin Daiyu's own poem. This is proved by the author's contemporaries, most likely his friends, Mingyi's "Dream of the Red Chamber" stanzas. The poem says:
A sad word for the burial of flowers is not as good as the prophecy that seems to be true.
And a wisp of incense to return to the soul, to start the Secretary of the chronic renewal of the red silk?
This is the first time I've heard of a funeral song, and I'm not sure if it's a prophecy or not. The first time I saw this was when I was a student at the University of California, Berkeley, and the second time I was a student at the University of California, Berkeley.
Previously, we thought that Mingyi might not be able to see the whole novel as Li-Yan did, but now it seems very likely that he has read part of the second half of the manuscript, or at least listened to people in the author's circle of contacts who have talked about the main plot of the second half of the book in more detail. If we say that the later events mentioned in Mingyi's stanzas, such as "Gathered like a spring dream and dispersed like smoke" and "There is no aura under the stone return to the mountain," can still be known by speculation; then, writing about the poverty of the king of Bao, "The king's grandson is thin and bony," and writing that he has lost a lot of money because of the poverty of the king of Bao. "and "I am ashamed of Shi Jilun", which wrote about the poverty of King Bao, and "I am ashamed of Shi Jilun", which wrote about the death of the people in his heart for his misfortune due to his conviction, can no longer be obtained by imagination.
This is also the case with the last two lines of the poem quoted above: Mingyi said that he really hoped that there would be incense to revive Daiyu's soul, so that Bao and Dai could become lovers, and that the red silk rope pulled by the old man under the moon would be renewed. Imagine, as long as the "chronic illness" can rise, "red silk" can also be renewed, which is later renewed the book imagined that the reason for the tragedy of Bao and Dai is due to marital involuntariness is how different! If everything is as Cheng Weiyuan, Gao Osprey finishing the book written in the sequel, then the treasure already belongs to him, ask, up Daiyu "chronic illness" and what is the use? Is it "renewed red silk" is to do her treasure two aunt not?
The poem, "I'm burying flowers today, and I'll be buried in the next year. ......" and other final lines, the book repeated several times, deliberately emphasized, and even through the writing of the parrot to learn to chant the poem is also mentioned. It can be seen that the day of the red face of old age and death, indeed in the spring when the flowers fall, is not a false word for comparison. At the same time, here said "in other years buried Nong know who", and before that said "red fade incense broken who pity", "once wandering hard to find" and so on, then Daiyu also died as Qingwen very miserable The situation of loneliness can be undoubtedly. At that time, not everyone is busy for Baoyu wedding, and therefore have no time to care, on the contrary, Baoyu, phoenix sister are due to avoid the disaster of exile, that is "family death do not talk about relatives", "each have to find their own door" days, the poem " The poem " willow pods from the fragrance, regardless of the peach and plum fly " or this meaning.
"The fragrant nests have been built in March, but the swallows in the beams are too heartless. Next year, although the flower hair can be pecked, but do not say that people go to the beam empty nest is also pouring" a few lines, the original can be solved in the unresolvable between the pity for the fallen flowers and complaints and swallows return, the intention is very difficult to grasp through. Now, if you look at it as a prophecy, it is clearer. Probably in the spring, the marriage of Baodai has been basically agreed, that is, the so-called "incense nest has been built", but, in the fall, there was a change, like the swallows in the beams mercilessly flew away, Baoyu was forced to leave home. Therefore, she lamented "the soul of flowers and birds are always difficult to stay", and fantasized that she could "wings under the coercion" to go with her. She cried out day and night, and eventually, she "burst into tears".
In this way, "flowers fall, people die two do not know", if the "flowers fall" than Daiyu, "people die" (exile also) said Baoyu, is completely appropriate. Baoyu where by the so-called "ugly disaster", there are always others to follow and bad luck. First, there is a gold bracelet, and then there is clear, finally the turn of the seal of the daiyu, so the poem has "quality of this clean and clean to go, strong in the dirty nao trapped in the ditch," the pun can be used to describe and show the temperament. "A farewell to the autumn wind and a year", Baoyu returned to the Jiafu in the following autumn, but saw Yihongyuan has "red thin green thin" (fat comment), Xiaoxiang Hall is a "fallen leaves Xiao Xiao, cold marriage indifferent" (fat comment) the bleak scene, Daiyu's boudoir and Baoyu's JiangYunXuan the same, only to see "spider silk child knot full of carving beams" (fat comment that refers to the residence of Baodai), although there is still BaoChai in the, and later also into its "golden jade marriage", but how can this make up for him? "to the realm of mourning knitting knitting" produced by the great spiritual trauma? "Next year, although the flower hair can be pecked, but do not say that people go to the empty nest of the beam also tilted!" Isn't that what it means? These are just some details that can be corroborated from the clues mentioned in the fat review, which may not be so appropriate. But this poem and the tragedy of Bao Dai plot must have corresponded to this point, probably not subjective assumptions; in fact, "like prophecy into the truth" of the poem is not limited to this, Dai Yu's "on behalf of the parting of the autumn window stormy night" and "peach blossom line" also have this nature. The former seems to be an unfortunate reflection of her later departure from Bao Yu, while the latter is like a preview of her own "premature death by tears" (Lipstick Comment).
It has been said that "Burying Flowers" was "born" from two poems by Tang Yin ("Dream of the Red Chamber"). Poetry is of course inherited and borrowed, but the relationship between the "source" and "flow" of literary creation should not be reversed. When it comes to "Burying Flowers", there is no need to go to Ming's collection to find out how the poem utilizes the works of its predecessors in terms of certain wordings, phrases, and moods. In the early Tang Dynasty, Liu Xiyi's "The White-Headed Weng of Generation Sorrow", "The color of this year's flowers has changed, and who will be there next year when the flowers bloom again", "The flowers are similar year after year, and the people are different year after year", and other well-known poems are not enough to be borrowed and utilized? For example, in the plot of burying flowers, it may not be that Tang Yin buried peonies "in a brocade bag on the east side of the medicine fence", and the author's grandfather, Cao Yin, had a poem "A hundred years of burying peach blossoms in a lonely grave" in his "Neem Pavilion Poetry Notes", so isn't that enough to inspire his conception? But these are all "streams", they are only utilized, neither express the main spirit of the poem, nor replace the author's creation from real life. What's more, as I mentioned earlier, the author's skillful strokes in this poem do not lie on the surface of those words and phrases that hurt the spring and flowers, but are sentimental and entangled.
Of course, the negative and decadent mood in Burial of Flowers is also extremely strong and cannot be ignored. It has had an adverse effect on readers who lack the ability to analyze and think. Although this mood in the art of the character of Lin Daiyu fully in line with the environmental status of the formation of the ideological character, but after all, because of the author in a certain degree of consciousness through the mouth of the characters to express their own feelings of the world, and reveals the weakness of his own thinking. We sympathize with Lin Daiyu, but at the same time, we also see this kind of sentimental noble lady, thinking and feeling is very fragile.
