What is the true meaning of "Good Song"?

The true meaning of "Hao Song" is that the author vividly depicts the warmth and warmth of human society and the impermanence of the world through the words of a lame Taoist. Although it has negative thoughts, it is also a sharp criticism of social reality.

This poem has a strong religious color. It can be said that Cao Xueqin saw through the world of mortals. This "Good Song" epitomizes the Cao family's own decline, and also warns the world not to fight to the death for fame and wealth, but to let go when you have to. This is also Cao Xueqin's original intention in writing "A Dream of Red Mansions".

Poem appreciation:

This poem can be divided into two parts. The first half talks about getting promoted and getting rich, which means that those who pursue fame are buried under a pile of weeds; those who pursue wealth eventually die without enjoyment. Everything is fleeting and external, only life is the most authentic. Even if you have nothing, there is nothing to regret.

The second half is about human ethics. This means that those loving wives who were loving during their lifetime later became the wives of others; those parents who worked hard for their children and grandchildren in their lifetime, in the end, have several filial children and grandchildren.
