Just then, Jia Yun came to greet Baoyu and brought two pots of white sea soup.
Make full use of everything, they shouted Bai Haitang.
Dai Yu's poem "Ode to Bai Haitang" was written with a stroke of a pen after everyone showed their works:
Li Wan commented on this poem as "romantic and unique".
In Dai Yu's eyes, Bai Haitang is like a fairy who has been banished to the world. She doesn't eat earthly fireworks, and she doesn't get contaminated with earthly dust.
In the sixty-third chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions, when the Red Square Group held a banquet and died, the flowers were left alone. The flowers painted by Xiangyun were "Begonia flowers".
It's just that although this "begonia flower" makes Xiang Yun dream deeply, it means "spring is blooming" and "good scenery is hard to stay".
Xiangyun's final ending is also "spring is short, and good times are hard to stay." Before she became a bride, her husband died of illness.
The inscription "I'm afraid of falling asleep at night" comes from Su Shi's poem Haitang;
This is what Su Shi did when he relegated Huangzhou, and MUBI was also the Lord of the night, which expressed the frustration and sadness of the literati.
The begonia flower is so delicate, how can I let it sleep? But I am lonely, no one appreciates me, only myself.
Cherishing flowers is also pity for your situation.
The immortal begonia in Dai Yu's works is also a true portrayal of her self-mood.
"Half-rolling shutter covers the door, grinding ice into soil, grinding jade into a basin".
"Half shutter and half door" should refer to people's actions.
The curtain made of bamboo is half rolled and the door is half closed.
At this time, those begonia flowers are behind curtains and doors, so you can't see the whole picture.
It's like watching a beautiful woman in a veil, looking at flowers in the fog. Because there is a sense of distance and hazy beauty.
And it is often noble things that appear like this, so it is not for people to see it at once, but to arouse people's curiosity.
"Broken ice is earth, jade is basin", broken ice is basin and flowerpot is jade.
Flower pots made of jade and clay made of crushed ice are not ordinary potted plants, but as precious as works of art.
Then the begonia flowers grown in such a living environment are not ordinary begonia flowers.
"Ice" and "jade" always give people the feeling of "ice and jade" and "ice soul and snow", and also symbolize noble character.
That is the noble character pursued by Daiyu.
"Stealing a pear is three points white, and borrowing a plum blossom is a soul."
Using "stolen" and "borrowed" is a bit of a joke.
(Its whiteness) is a three-point whiteness stolen from the stamens of pear flowers, and (its charm) is a fragrant soul borrowed from plum blossoms.
This writing also shows the charm and shape of begonia flowers from the side.
This style of writing is not conventional. If it is changed to "as white as pears and as white as plum blossoms", it is better to "steal" and "borrow". Appreciation of word substitution comparison method
Moreover, it seems to praise "the whiteness of pear blossoms" and "the charm of plum blossoms", but in fact it is praising the advantages of begonia flowers.
"Pear" is white, "Plum" is arrogant, and poets often use it to express their pursuit of noble and unyielding personality.
So Daiyu skillfully endowed these advantages to the begonia flowers she wrote.
The fairy in the moon cave sews robes, and the woman who is always in my heart in autumn wipes crow marks.
This is the beginning of the personification of begonia flowers, which is directly written as a fairy falling from the sky. The description of "ice" and "jade" in front is also a preparation for writing their different customs later.
There seems to be a light smoke, and the perianth is deified into a human form.
It turns out that Daiyu is also a crimson pearl fairy in the sky. Thanks to the waiter Shen Ying's nectar, she was cultivated into a human form by the plant body.
"Moon Cave" refers to "the fairyland where immortals live in the Moon Palace", and "costume" refers to "white clothes", which is also used as a metaphor for white flowers.
The clothes that Daiyu usually wears are generally simple and elegant.
This Bai Haitang is like a fairy who sews clothes in the moon palace and a dissatisfied housewife who wipes her tears in the boudoir in late autumn. (Sad for spring and sad for autumn)
One in the sky, one on the ground; One is out of the dust, and the other is joining the WTO.
It's like she's on earth, crying in the boudoir.
Being in the center of the sea, outside the castle peak, her native place is also from Xiange, but she has to suffer from lovesickness and is indifferent to the world.
In Dai Yu's poems, this "begonia flower" is a "fairy god", but in the ninety-fourth chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions, "Banqueting Begonia and Jia Mu, knowing the strange disaster after losing the spirit of Baoyu", the begonia flower became a "flower demon".
Because the flowering of begonia should be in March, but it only blooms in 10 and 1 1 month, which corresponds to spring. Xiaoyangchun: The "summer calendar" used for a long time in China starts in October and is called "Yang". It is customary to call October of the lunar calendar "October Xiaoyangchun", which lasts for one month).
Everyone thinks it's warm weather, and flowers bloom to give good news.
Even Daiyu was moved by the "happy event", thinking that things between herself and Baoyu might be over.
At this time, only Tanchun didn't say anything, but she was thinking, "This flower won't be a good sign. Those who go with it prosper, and those who go against it perish. It happens from time to time when vegetation knows luck. It must be a demon. "
It's just hard to say.
Tan Chun is one of the few sober and rational people in the Grand View Garden. She can always see the essence through the appearance of things and is a powerful role.
Therefore, the beauty of this "begonia flower" belongs to beauty, but sometimes it is "good news but not bad news". Its "contingency" is not a sign that the Jia family is going to decline.
It also proves that flowers are people.
Perhaps it is also because flowers are people, so Daiyu pinned all her sadness on them, hoping that they can understand themselves and understand themselves.
"Who is shy and silent? I'm tired of leaning against the west wind night. "
(Begonia flower) Who will you tell your charming and shy words quietly? I'm afraid no one can say it, so you lean wearily against the west wind in this groggy night (let it blow away)
Daiyu compared herself to this beautiful begonia flower, and I said to myself, "Who complains about this feeling?"
When no one talks, I will lean against the building or railing alone in this groggy night and silently take it to heart.
It's kind of like "don't lean on the fence".
It's just that even if there are 10 thousand customs, it will only end in a romantic ending.
Dead, dead, let's go.
Love flowers or compare yourself. After all, you can only "take care of yourself".
