2. The original poem is "Stay dry and listen to the rain". From the Tang Dynasty poet Li Shangyin's Love in the Snail Pavilion and Cuizhou;
Bamboo dock is clean and clear, and acacia is separated from the city.
Autumn frost flies late, leaving dry lotus to listen to the rain.
The artistic conception of the poem is euphemistic and concise, and the beautiful and wonderful artistic conception is outlined with extremely ordinary scenery such as bamboo dock, pavilion sill, running water and withered lotus. The last sentence is the crowning touch of the whole poem. The poet listened to the rain and the change of the poet's mood.
3. There may be some changes in the wording of ancient poetry in the long history, so there are "withered" and "residual" words. As the greatest literary master in China, Cao Xueqin is an outstanding poet. He has his own unique research on poetry. The change of the word "residual lotus" seems to have more charm and intonation than the original poem.
