The death of Lin Daiyu

Many people disapprove of Lin Daiyu's death. Of course, Lin Daiyu did not die as shown in the TV series. Lin Daiyu is a poetic woman with a holy and elegant soul. She lives in Xiaoxiang Pavilion. We can see her poetic philosophy of life from the description of her living environment. When she saw the flowers wither, she couldn't bear to let them fall into the soil like that. Instead, he wore a flower burial suit, took a homemade flower hoe, flower bag and flower broom, sang mourning words all the way, and buried the flowers gracefully according to a specific route. So, her death will be clean.

So, she should have died by sinking into the lake. Cao Xueqin's brushwork is grass snake gray line, and Yan Fu is thousands of miles away. Lin Daiyu's sinking into the lake has four foreshadowing:

Forestage 1: In the seventy-sixth episode of A Dream of Red Mansions, on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun appeared two poems revealing their future destiny: crossing the crane shadow in the cold pond and burying the flower soul in Leng Yue. Lengtang is the end of Shi Xiangyun's becoming a geisha on board, corresponding to Lin Daiyu. Lin Daiyu's death should also be in a cold moonlight, step by step into the water and sink into the lake to die.

Forestage 2: In the forty-ninth session, Lin Daiyu said something to Baoyu: I feel less tears recently. We know that Lin Daiyu was reincarnated as crimson fairy grass. The purpose is to repay Jia Baoyu's previous work as a waiter for Shen Ying, and she will repay him with tears of her life. It says here that her tears are gradually decreasing, which means that she is not far from the fairy. Lin Daiyu lives in Xiaoxiang Pavilion and calls herself Princess Xiaoxiang. In ancient times, Shun had two concubines, E Huang and Nv Ying. After Shun's death, Queen E shed tears on the bamboo forest, which was named Xiang. E Huang Nv Ying finally ended his life with tears in his eyes.

Foreshadowing 3: On the 44th birthday of Xifeng, she ordered a play, The Story of Chai Jing. Baoyu himself wore mourning clothes to pay homage to Jinchuan, who died by jumping into a well. No one knows where Baoyu went. When Baoyu came back, Lin Daiyu knew where he had gone. She said: The water in the world always comes from the same source, so there is no need to go to the river to pay homage to his wife Rainbow Shi Peng. When you miss, just scoop a ladle of water and watch. In short, it became a prophecy, which also laid the groundwork for the death of Daiyu and Baoyu's memorial service.

Forestage 4: Back to 18, Yuan Fei ordered four plays, which is a great foreshadowing of the fate of the people in the plays. The fourth scene is leaving the soul. The lyrics here are: people are not free in the Mid-Autumn Festival, slaves are not lucky enough to be photographed in the lonely moon, and they will rest in the rain tonight for the rest of their lives. I hate being in a hurry. The wind will cut the jade hibiscus. Teacher Liu thinks that the last two sentences about the lotus in the water are insinuating that Lin Daiyu finally died in the lake, thus ultimately hating "Leng Yue's spirit of burying flowers". Moreover, Zhi Yanzhai commented here: the death of Fu Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu is a poetic existence and a poetic disappearance.
