"Ode to the crab, Gui sits in the shade of the tree and mourns"
Cao Xueqin in Qing Dynasty
Guiyin sits in mourning, and Chang 'an looks forward to Chongyang.
There is no latitude and longitude in the road ahead, and the skin is black and yellow in spring and autumn.
Chrysanthemum should also be used when the wine is not fishy, and ginger must be used to prevent cold accumulation.
What are the benefits of falling into the kettle today? Yuepu has surplus grain and millet fragrance.
Overall appreciation of "crab fu", Gui sat in the shade to mourn.
Both of them praised crabs, but Xue Baochai's "crab fu" shaped another image of crabs, and of course it also shaped her self-image completely different from Baoyu and Daiyu. It seems that I wrote this poem because I was dissatisfied with the performance of crabs in Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu's "Crab Fu". Indeed, as she said, it is "barely a poem".
Although Xue Baochai's poems also describe people eating crabs and enjoying their leisure, they lack the interest of life. The first couplet is about people sitting in the shade of osmanthus trees, drinking and eating crabs. It also quotes the allusion of "Four in Chang 'an" to show people's greed, saying that people are as greedy and delicious as Li Ruyang () of the times. They have already drunk three glasses of wine, and they will drool when they meet a car carrying Qu wine on the way to the imperial court, but his words are almost ridiculous.
