Xiangyun was not present when Haitang Poetry Society was first established. Later, Baoyu specially invited Xiangyun. After Xiangyun came, she was in high spirits and immediately put the above two songs in rhyme.
Xiangyun is one of the important figures among twelve girls. Besides Daiyu, Baochai counted her. She is as fit as Baochai and as smart as Daiyu. She is a figure between Xue and Lin.
The first song "Natural Frost Moth Prefers Cold" and "Autumn Yin Holding He Xue" implicitly refers to Xue Baochai, a cold beauty who eats "cold fragrant pills"; "It's not a beautiful girl who stays in the soul" and "Rain stains add marks to the night" implicitly refer to Lin Daiyu who is entangled in dreams and refuses to work in the swamp in "Family". The second song is about Lin Daiyu's "losing her mind" for Sad Autumn. The flower shadow separated by the "crystal curtain" is also easy to remind people of the judgments about Baodai's love such as Moon in the Water and Flowers in the Mirror. On the other hand, the words "flowers are hard to find a spouse, jade candles shed tears" also seem to imply Baochai's "widowed" life in the future.
Xiangyun's poem is about Baochai and Daiyu, that is, herself. Although we can't know how Cao Xueqin wrote the specific plot of her ending, the judgments such as "Xiangjiang River died in Chu Yunfei" and "Clouds disappeared in Gaotang, and water exhausted Xiangjiang River" have shown that her ending is also tragic. She will cry for the tragedy of marriage like Daiyu, and live a lonely life like Baochai, but the plot will be different.
After careful consideration, it can be seen that Cao Xueqin painstakingly wrote these poems for the characters in the book, and readers should not ignore the implication. Because these poems should not only eulogize things, but also add meaning, take into account both sides, and the poems should be hazy and not as certain as Ding and Mao, so we should not be too chiseled when understanding them.
2, the original poem:
one
The immortal went to Doumen yesterday and planted a pot of lantian jade. ?
Naturally, the frost moth prefers the cold, and the unloving woman also leaves a soul. ?
Autumn covers the snow, and rain stains add night marks. ?
But I like the poet to sing tirelessly, and I am willing to make myself lonely.
Secondly,
The price of Zhi Heng leads to the door of Luo Xue, which is also suitable for corners and basins. ?
Flowers are hard to find a mate because they are happy and clean, and people are easy to break their souls because of autumn sadness. ?
Jade candle drops dry the tears in the wind, and the crystal curtain separates the remnant moon marks. ?
The dark color wants to persuade Chang 'e, and the night is dim in the empty corridor. ?
