"Catkin Ci" appeared in the seventieth time of A Dream of Red Mansions, which was the last poetry meeting in the Grand View Garden. Obviously, the author is here for a certain reason.
There were too many ups and downs and sadness in Baochai's previous catkin poems, so when it was Baochai's turn, she said, "I think catkin is a light and thin thing, with no roots and no fetters, but according to my idea, I have to make it clear so as not to fall into the trap." So she wrote "Linjiang Xianzi Catkin":
Bai Yutang Spring Dance, Kochinda Volume.
Bees and butterflies make a mess.
How many times have you gone with the flow?
Never change, let him get together and let him leave.
Laughter has no roots in youth, and good winds help me get to Qingyun.
The general idea of this word is: Spring breeze seems to understand catkin and scatter it evenly in front of Bai Yutang. It seems more beautiful than Crazy Bees and Butterflies. Although it may die with running water or be abandoned in the dust, it still has tenacious vitality no matter where it falls. Don't laugh at it because it is rootless and bottomless, and don't laugh at it because it is slight. Maybe it will be sent to Qingyun by a good wind.
