Flowers are flying all over the sky, and who has mercy on them? The tour silk soft tie floating spring tree, falling flotsam light dip fluttering embroidered curtains. The daughter of the girl in the bosom of the spring twilight, full of sadness without release place. The hand flower hoe out of the embroidered boudoir, bear to step on the fallen flowers to come and go? The willows and elms are so beautiful that it doesn't matter if the peaches or the plums are flying. The peach and the plum will be able to grow again next year, but who will be in the boudoir next year? In March, the fragrant nest was first built, but the swallows in the beam were too heartless. Although next year's flowers can be pecked at, I don't know that the nest is empty even after the departure of the people. The 360 days of the year, the wind and the frost and the swords are pressing against each other. How long will the bright and fresh research last, and it is hard to find them once they are wandering around. The flowers are easy to see and hard to find, so I am worried about killing the flower-burial person in front of the steps. I leaned on the flower hoe and shed tears, spilling blood on the empty branches. The azalea is silent as dusk falls, and the hoe returns to cover the door. The green lamp shines on the wall, and the cold rain knocks on the window, but the blanket is not yet warmed. It is strange that I am doubly sad, half pitying and half annoying the spring: pitying the spring is suddenly annoying and suddenly going, and then there are no words to go and not hear. Last night, there was a sad song outside the court, knowing that it was the soul of flowers and birds. It is always difficult to keep the souls of flowers and birds, and the birds are speechless and the flowers are ashamed. I wish I had wings to fly with the flowers to the end of the sky. At the end of the sky, where is the fragrant hill? It's not as good as a bag to collect the colorful bones, and a cup of pure earth to cover up the wind and the flow. The quality is clean, but it's better to get stuck in the dirt. Now that you are dead and buried in accordance with the collection, I do not know when to rely on the body of the funeral? Yi now buried flowers people laugh at silly, other years buried Yi know who? Try to see the spring residual flowers gradually fall, is the red face old death. Once the spring is over, the red face will be old, and the flowers will fall and the people will die!
Poetry Appreciation
Burial of Flowers is a representative of all the lamentations of Lin Daiyu's lamentation of her encounter with the world, and is also an important work of the author Cao Xueqin, who used it to shape this artistic image and express the characteristics of her character. It is also an important work that author Cao Xueqin used to shape this artistic image and express her character traits. It is the same as the Eulogy for the Hibiscus Daughter, which is a copy of the text that the author tried to imitate. The style of this song is modeled after the early Tang style of song, in the lyricism of the fullest, art is very successful.
The poem is not all sadness and sorrow, which still has a kind of depression and injustice. "Willow elm pods from the fragrant, regardless of the peach and Li Fei", on the 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 cruel reality of the accusation? "I wish I could have two 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 had a bag to collect my colorful bones and a cup of pure earth to cover up my style. 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 the values of its ideology.
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! Blocking the rest of the want to also "stone book" to come, scattered stop writing to wait." It is worth noting that the criticism pointed out that: without having read "the text after Brother Yu" is no way to criticize the poem; the critic "stop writing to wait" is also related to the poem "after the text". 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 in 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 point, we from the author's contemporaries, most likely his friend Mingyi "Dream of the Red Chamber" in the title of the stanzas to prove. The poem says; sad a funeral word, like prophecy into the truth from the worse. I can get a wisp of incense to return to my soul, and renew the red threads of my chronic illness? "This is only a person who knows the plot of Daiyu's death written by the author can say the words. Previously, we thought that Mingyi might not be able to see the whole novel as Li-Yan did, but now it seems that the possibility of him having read part of the second half of the manuscript is very high, or at least listening to people in the circle of the author's relationship to talk about the main plots 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 Baowang, "The king's grandson is thin and bony," and writing about him as a result of his poverty, "The king's grandson is thin and bony. If the poems about King Bao's poverty, "The bones of the king's grandson are thin and jagged," and "I am ashamed to be Shi Jilun," about the people in his heart dying of sorrow for his misfortune because of his conviction, can still be known by speculation, then there is no way to imagine them. The last two lines of the poem quoted above are also the same: Mingyi said, he really hoped that there would be a soul-renewing incense to revive Daiyu, so that Bao, Dai and the two lovers could become a couple, and the red silk rope pulled by the old man under the moon could be renewed. Imagine, as long as the "chronic illness" can rise, "red silk" can also be renewed, which is later renewed with 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 possible to "renew the red silk" is to do her treasure two aunts do not?
The poem "I am now buried flowers people laugh at stupid, other years buried Nong know who? ......" and other final lines, the book repeated several times, deliberately emphasized, even through the writing of the parrot to learn to chant the poem 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 " Willow silk elm pods from the fragrance, regardless of the peach and plum fly" or this meaning. In the poem, "The fragrant nest has been built in March, but the swallows in the beam are too heartless. Next year, even though the flowers can be pecked, but do not say that people go to the empty nest of the beam is also pouring" a few lines, originally between the understandable and the unintelligible, pity for the fallen flowers and complain about the swallows to go back, it is very difficult to grasp the intention of coherence. 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 of heart, as the swallows fly away relentlessly, 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 cries day and night, and finally "tears are all the evidence of the past". In this way, "flowers fall, people die two don't know", if "flowers fall" than Daiyu, "people die" (exile also) said Baoyu, it 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, after the clear, finally the turn of the seal of the daiyu, so the poem has a "quality of this clean also 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 in the following fall back to the Jiafu, but saw the Yihongyuan has "red thin green sparse" (fat comment), Xiaoxiang Hall is a "falling leaves Xiao Xiao, cold marriage indifferent" (fat comment) (fat comment) the bleak scene, Daiyu's boudoir and Baoyu's Jiangyunxuan the same, only to see "spider silk child knot full of carved beams" (fat comment that refers to the Baodai residence), although there is still the Baochai in, and later into its "golden jade marriage", but how can this make up for his "to the realm of mourning knitted brows" produced by the great spiritual pain? "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 a true" 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 have unfortunately hit the nail on the head when she left Bao Yu, and the latter is like a preview of her own "premature death by tears" (Lipstick Review) ending.
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 from the reference, but should not be the "source" and "flow" of literary and artistic creation of the relationship between the reversed. When it comes to "Burial of Flowers", it is not necessary to go to Ming's collection to find out that the poem utilizes the works of its predecessors in certain wordings, phrases, and moods and tones. 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 mentioned earlier, this poem, the author of the pen, the place, not at all on the surface of the words and phrases of those who hurt the spring flowers sentimental and entangled.
Of course, the negative and decadent mood of "Burying 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 is fully consistent with the character of Lin Daiyu's environmental status of the formation of the ideological character, but after all, because 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.
