Lin Daiyu also likes reciting poems, but why doesn't she like the great poet Li Shangyin?

Li Shangyin's poems are obscure and difficult to understand, and his words need careful consideration and have his own unique style. Lin Daiyu likes fresh and natural poetry style. She believes that writing poetry is first of all about intention, and choosing words and making sentences is only the last skill. Sometimes, she even cares about her own taste, regardless of the smooth rhyme of the poem. Their poetic styles are quite different, so it is not surprising that Lin Daiyu doesn't like Li Shangyin's poems.

There was a time in the Red Mansion when the protagonists swam around the Grand View Garden, and everyone was boating and playing happily by the pond. When she said that she wanted someone to pull out the broken lotus leaves in the pond, Lin Daiyu said, I don't like Li Yishan's poems the most, but I like her words? Stay and listen to the rain? You don't keep the residual load. Li Yishan here, that is, Li Shangyin, was a very famous poet in the Tang Dynasty. At this time, Lin Daiyu's words also expressed her feelings.

In addition, there is a chapter later that when Lin Daiyu taught Xiangling to learn poetry, she mentioned many poets and listed many poets at that time, but there was no Li Shangyin. Lin Daiyu can be said to be the best woman in A Dream of Red Mansions, but her poetic style is gentle, sad and lingering, and she has won many championships in the Grand View Garden Poetry Society. Lin Daiyu also has a deep study of predecessors' poems, so naturally it is impossible not to be familiar with Li Shangyin. It can be seen that Lin Daiyu doesn't like Li Shangyin. Before that, it was not an expression, but she really didn't like it.

Cao wrote A Dream of Red Mansions and arranged the love between Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu, which can be said to be hazy and even obscure. This kind of love atmosphere has been running through the book since Xue Baochai came to Jiafu. Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu have been living in mutual speculation. Therefore, the author arranged that Lin Daiyu either liked Li Shangyin or disliked Li Shangyin's love poems, because her love with Lin Daiyu was too similar. It is natural for the author to arrange the relationship between the two poets in this way.
