The tiger and the tiger meet in a dream - the tiger and the tiger are both ferocious beasts, and Jia Yuanchun should have died in a palace struggle. The tiger refers to the emperor, and the tiger finger refers to the eunuchs around the emperor. As long as the eunuchs do not get the benefits of the Jia family: money (corresponding to the second sentence), they will say unfavorable things to Yuanchun to the emperor. As long as the emperor listens, Yuanchun's journey as a concubine It's just a dream.
From: Jia Yuanchun's judgment in Cao Xueqin's "A Dream of Red Mansions" in the Qing Dynasty
The original text is as follows:
After twenty years of distinguishing between right and wrong, the pomegranate blossoms bloom to illuminate the palace.
The three springs compete for the first spring scene, and the tiger and the tiger meet and return to the big dream.
Translation: Yuanchun lived in the palace for more than 20 years, and gained a new understanding of the honor, disgrace, joys and sorrows in the world. From the female historian to the minister of Fengzao Palace, to the virtuous noble concubine, the glory was as bright as the pomegranate flower in full bloom. The three younger sisters welcoming, exploring and appreciating the spring are not as glorious and rich as the Yuanchun. When the Year of the Tiger and the Year of the Rabbit intersect, they have to leave all this and return to where they should go.

Analysis of Jia Yuanchun's sentence
"Twenty" refers to Yuanchun's life span. "Distinguishing right from wrong" generally refers to the world of fame and fortune, the place of right and wrong. Chapter 25: "But after practicing psychic skills, he started to cause trouble in the world", which is as common as "distinguish between right and wrong". There is a book about "identifying who it is", which is completely incomprehensible.
"Liuhua" has many children, which means many children and grandchildren, so there are many pomegranates in bonsai in the palace. The pomegranate flower shows that Yuanchun is pregnant, but it is only a pomegranate flower, not a pomegranate seed, which means that Yuanchun is pregnant. She died without giving birth to a child, and judging from the text, this is indeed the case.
"Three springs", there are also phrases such as "Three springs will not last long" and "Three springs will be seen through" in the poems and songs of Xichun. According to Liu Xinwu's research, it is known that "three springs" refers to the three most prosperous years of the Jia family. , these three years are the most mentioned in the novel, and most of the chapters in the whole text are also written in these three years.
Qin Keqing's warning that "all the beauty will be gone after the three springs" actually means from a prophecy perspective that Jia's family has declined in these three years. As expected, shortly after Jia Yuanchun's death, Jia's mansion was raided.
"Tiger and rabbit meet", many ancient books write "tiger and rabbit meet in great dreams", only the popular version edited by Gao E writes "tiger and rabbit meet" (Gao E erroneously changed it, in order to take into account the following forty years) After returning to China, he contracted an illness in Yuanchun and died in the Year of the Rabbit and the Moon of the Tiger). Tigers and Si are both ferocious beasts. According to Liu Xinwu's research, Jia Yuanchun should have died in a palace fight.
