Explanation of the poem:
In the sentence "Hantang crossing the crane's shadow", "Hantang" refers to the lonely and cold environment, "crossing" is experience, and "crane" "Shadow" is the metaphorical object Shi Xiangyun. The metaphorical meaning of this sentence is roughly as follows: Xiangyun's ending is to face the miserable years alone, but in the end he is spiritually relieved.
Xiang Yun can be said to be the strange woman with the most character in "A Dream of Red Mansions". She is bold and outspoken, and even sleeps drunk on a bluestone.
In Jia Mansion, Shi Xiangyun is a kind of person who is loved by everyone; it is conceivable that if Jia Mansion delays its decline for decades, Shi Xiangyun will always have a place in Jia Mansion. When the Jia Mansion suddenly collapsed, the fate of everyone in the Jia Mansion suddenly changed, and Xiangyun was no exception.
Cao Xueqin and Cao Gong have already judged Xiangyun’s later life trajectory; it is very likely that he and Wei Ruolan got married, but sadly Wei Ruolan died early, and Xiangyun was finally alone. Stay in poverty.
The sentence "The cold moon buries the flower soul" is the epitome of Lin Daiyu's life state, and it also accurately predicts Daiyu's final destination. The word "cold" almost runs through Daiyu's life.
Her mother passed away with hatred after she was born, which can be said to be a cold fate; she has been sick since birth, and she has not left medicine in the morning and evening, which can be said to be a cold constitution; she only has spiritual thoughts and does not get into the filth, and she has a cold nature; The cold night is desolate and lonely, which can be said to be the coldness of death. Although the cold moon is bright, it is elusive and out of reach.
In "The Song of Burial of Flowers", there is a poem that goes: "The person who buries flowers today will laugh like crazy, but I will not know who he will bury next year." From this, we can see that Daiyu has a pure nature and loves all the beautiful things in nature. Things; however, there is filth in the human world. Even if it is as beautiful as a flower, it only blooms for a short time. There is nothing we can do about the cause and effect.
