Original text:
The 91st time in A Dream of Red Mansions: Baoyu stayed for a long time and suddenly laughed: "I'll take a scoop of water for 3,000 weak water." "What shall we do if the spoon floats in the water?" Daiyu asked. Baoyu said, "If it weren't for the ladle floating, the water would float, and the ladle would float." Daiyu said, "What can we do if the water stops the pearl from sinking?" Baoyu said, "The Zen mind has been stained with mud, so I won't dance partridge spring breeze."
Appreciate:
Baoyu thought for a long time and said with a smile, "I'll just take a ladle of water, even if it's 3 thousand." Baoyu used this allusion to answer Daiyu's question, which means that I have nothing to do with Baochai's quality. Although there are many beautiful women in the world, you are the only one in my heart. Daiyu was well aware of Baoyu's usual temperament and doubted whether he could keep his promise, so she continued to ask, "What can I do?" ; "What can I do to stop the pearl from sinking?" Baoyu said firmly, "Zen has been stained with mud, so I don't dance partridge spring breeze." My love for you is like a bird's nest made of flying catkins and mud, and it won't drift away with the wind again.
Extended data:
"Take only one scoop when the water is weak" is an allusion in Buddhist scriptures and a famous Buddhist saying that warns the world against greed. Although weak water is wide and hard-won, we should cherish it.
Three thousand comes from the three thousand worlds in Buddhism. In The Journey to the West's 22nd "Three Monks Don't Forget Books, Four Saints Try Zen", there are "800 quicksand boundary, 3,000 weak water depth" when describing the quicksand river, which is the first official statement of "3,000 weak water". Later, weak water was extended to boundless love.
