Apart from her talent in poetry and lyrics, what about Lin Daiyu's other talents?
Let's talk about eloquence first After all, language is the shell of thinking, and a large part of wisdom and talent are expressed through language. Most people say that Lin Daiyu has a sharp mouth, which actually reflects her quick thinking to some extent.
Jia Mu's favorite types are astute language and lively humor. I like the glib Rainbow Xifeng, but I don't like the "wooden" Mrs. Wang. Lin Daiyu is deeply loved by Grandmother Jia. Besides being her closest granddaughter, there are other reasons.
It is said that Xue Baochai can talk, but sometimes her eloquence is slightly worse than Lin Daiyu's. At that time, reading The West Chamber and The Peony Pavilion was forbidden, so Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu married Jin Lan. Xue Xiaomei wrote ten homesick poems. The first eight are places of interest, while the last two are The West Chamber and Peony Pavilion. Hearing this, Xue Baochai asked for two more songs. She thinks this is a taboo for women, and she emphasizes that "besides, we don't understand it, so let's delete it". Everyone else is against Xue Baochai.
Lin Daiyu took it and said, "Although we have never seen these rumors, we are hysterical and have never even heard of this play? Three-year-old children also know ",immediately get everyone's approval. Both Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai have read The Romance of the West Chamber, but both claim that they have not read it in front of the public, but Xue Baochai's rhetoric is not as clever as Lin Daiyu's. She attributed the reason for knowing this to the opera she often watched, which everyone can understand. Her cleverness is not only reflected in her literary talent, but also in her eloquence.
As for musical instruments, can Lin Daiyu play the piano? It is described in Chapter 86. Jia Baoyu and Miaoyu passed by Xiaoxiang Pavilion and heard the piano. Jia Baoyu said that Lin Daiyu was playing the piano while they were singing. They sat outside and enjoyed it, showing that Lin Daiyu knew the piano.
As for the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Lin Daiyu also knows. During the twenty-four rounds, Xiangling learned poetry from Lin Daiyu, who not only taught her poetry, but also played chess with her for a while. Writing is more obvious. Jia Baoyu was worried that Jia Zheng would scold him for not finishing his homework. Lin Daiyu wrote fifty small characters for him, which are very similar to Jia Baoyu's handwriting. This shows that her writing level is very high, otherwise it is difficult to imitate Jia Baoyu's handwriting.
As for painting, although there is no scene of Lin Daiyu painting herself in the book, Lin Daiyu once expressed her opinions when painting for the Grand View Garden in spring.
In other respects, Lin Daiyu is also a good hand at needlework and embroidery. Although xiren didn't sew for half a year, Xiangling's conversation with Lin Daiyu was all about sewing. From time to time, Lin Daiyu also gives Jia Baoyu something to wear, such as a leather bag. Lin Daiyu can also cut high-end technology in needlework. In "Twenty-eight Chapters", Jia Baoyu once saw Lin Daiyu bend over and cut off her head just after eating.
Does Lin Daiyu have any management ability? Although Mrs. Wang let Xue Baochai, Li Wan and Tan Chun temporarily manage after Wang Xifeng fell ill, Lin Daiyu's management ability can be seen from the orderly arrangement in her Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Later, the Grand View Garden was in chaos, and her Xiaoxiang Pavilion was quiet and peaceful. She also knows the cost of the Grand View Garden.
It can be seen that Lin Daiyu is not only good at poetry and songs, but also good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, needlework and housekeeping, which is of course related to her family background. She loves to be lively, and she is indispensable to every party. At the same time, she can enjoy a cup of tea and a book in Xiaoxiang Pavilion alone, or make a parrot in front of Doby's window. The author loved her very much and gave her a lot of talents, so that she could die before the decline of Jiafu, lest she be poor. The beautiful departure of youth leaves people with beautiful memories.
