literary images in Xiaoxiang Pavilion
The literary images in A Dream of Red Mansions are consistent with the characters' personalities, and many of the descriptions of the environment and the characters' temperament have reached a state of seamless unity, achieving dynamic and all-round correspondence and communication.
The shape and charm of bamboo are all blended and overlapped with Lin Daiyu's character. It can really be said that "bamboo reflects Xiaoxiang", and bamboo has become a wonderful symbol of Lin Daiyu.
The green bamboo is slender, just like Lin Daiyu's slim figure and weak willows' gait. Bamboo is never in company with other people, and it is always beautiful and simple, which is consistent with Lin Daiyu's character of not putting on heavy makeup and being lofty and aloof.
The indomitable style of bamboo fighting wind and frost in autumn and proud of snow and ice in winter is consistent with Daiyu's rebellious character. "A thousand tears drop from a spotted bamboo", and bamboo reflects the persistence of "Princess Xiaoxiang" in love and Lacrimosa's tragic fate.
