The original text is "the fragrance of roots and lotus flowers really hurts life." Since the birth of the orphan tree in the two places, the sweet soul has returned to its hometown. "Xiangling is a character in the classic novel A Dream of Red Mansions, the daughter of twelve women in Jinling. The verdict hinted at her miserable life.
It means that lotus root and lotus flower grow on the same rhizome and smell the same. Lotus is also called lotus, because Xiangling was originally called winning in a row, so this sentence implies Xiangling's name. Xiangling suffered a tragic fate. She was separated from her family at an early age and changed hands again. She met a bully, Guo Pan, and these experiences were regrettable.
Because the solitary tree in the sentence "Lonely tree in two places" implies a word "Gui", which means. After Xia Jingui married Guo Pan, Xiangling had a hard time and was finally tortured to death.
Extended data:
Baoyu was puzzled by the verdict in the supplementary book, so he went to the supplementary book and saw a osmanthus tree painted on it and a pond below it. The water in the pond dried up, the mud dried up, the lotus withered and the lotus root failed, so he followed this verdict. Xiangling is a girl of the Xue family and a handmaiden, so she can't get into the official register; However, she used to be a noble lady of the Zhen family and could not enter the supplementary book, so the author arranged her in the supplementary book between the master and the servant.
Xiangling turned out to be a winning streak. Lien Win was abducted by kidnappers when he was three years old. She was brought up to be a teenager and sold to Xue Pan, where she became a concubine. Later, Xue Pan married Xia Jingui, a bitch who made mischief. She was greedy, jealous, cruel and poisonous, and Xiangling was abused by them and died with a bitter heart.
Xiangling is actually a girl and a concubine, which should be put in another booklet, but Xiangling is Zhen's daughter, and she is not entirely a girl's life. So she is in the so-called auxiliary book between the main book and the auxiliary book. Baoyu picked it up and saw a osmanthus flower painted on it and a pond below. Water dries up and mud dries up, and lotus withers and lotus fails.
Hu Shi verified that Xiangling was finally tortured to death because Xue Pan married Xia Jingui. But the novel is not finished. In Gao E's sequel A Dream of Red Mansions, Xiangling has a happy ending. However, Hu Shi said that this is completely different from the author's original intention, and Xiangling is a real hard life.
