Appreciation of Flowers Burying Songs

Burying Flowers is a poem recited by Lin Daiyu, the heroine of Zhang Hui in the novel A Dream of Red Mansions written by Cao Xueqin. This poem imitates the Song style of the early Tang Dynasty in style, and it is called chanting flowers, but in fact it describes people. The whole poem shows Daiyu's sentimental character, inner contradictions and pains, subtle and complicated psychological activities through rich and peculiar imagination, bleak and sad pictures and strong sad emotions, and expresses her anxiety about her own existence and confused feelings about life in the process of complex struggles such as life and death, love and hate.

Personize flowers, compare people to people with flowers, closely link the fate of flowers with the fate of people, and strongly accuse the evil forces that destroy flowers and harm people in the dark society. Write flowers clearly, people truly, and integrate the experience, fate, thoughts and feelings of characters into the description of scenery and things to create a vivid artistic conception with rich connotation and strong artistic appeal. The whole poem is a true portrayal of Lin Daiyu's concept and value of life.

The whole poem is lyrical and incisive, with weeping language, sad voice and blood and tears in every word. Every word in the poem is not from the heart, and every word is not condensed with blood and tears, which shows Lin Daiyu's experience and sigh about her life. Burying Flowers describes the protagonist's aloof and arrogant character, unwilling to be humiliated and defiled, and unwilling to bow down when he fantasizes about freedom and happiness. It is for its ideological value.

Another value of this poem is that it provides important clues for future generations to explore the tragedy of Baodai in Cao Xueqin's works. JOE version of Zhi Yanzhai's comment on writing points out that it is impossible to comment on this poem without reading After Baoyu. It is precisely the "post-essay" related to this poem that makes the critics "stop writing and wait".

Of course, the so-called "post-text" refers to the text of Daiyu's death in the second half of the lost manuscript. If this poem only symbolizes the misfortune of a fallen beauty in general, then you don't have to wait for the next one; Only when what is written in the poem is not general, but mostly related to the plot of Daiyu's death later, it is necessary to emphasize that after reading the following words, I will go back and deepen my understanding of this poem. It can be seen that "Burying Flowers" is actually a "poetic prophecy" created by Lin Daiyu.

Sewing tips for fallen flowers and burying incense graves for fallen flowers; I had to write a poem in tears. This "absurd" behavior has never been seen before. Only those who are infatuated with Bao Dai can understand it, and only when it happens to Bao Dai can it be understood by the world.

There is a quatrain in Fu Cha Yi Ming's tihongloumeng, a contemporary of Cao Xueqin: "A mourning poem seems to come true. There is a ray that died for love and woke up to grow into HongLing? " "It seems to be true" can only be said by people who know the plot of Daiyu's death written by the author.

In the past, Redology researchers thought that Yi Ming might not be able to read the whole novel like Yan Zi. It can be seen from this quatrain that he probably read the second half of the manuscript, or at least listened to the people in the author's circle talking about the main plot of the second half in detail.

If the later things mentioned in Ming Yi's quatrains, such as "gathering like a spring dream" and "no aura under the mountain", can be inferred; Then, it is no longer possible to write a poem describing Baoyu's poverty and poverty, such as "Wang Sun is skinny", and a poem describing his conviction, such as "Skillen is ashamed of his misfortune".

The same is true of the last two sentences in the poem quoted above: He said that he really hoped that the novel "Die for Love", which came back from the dead, would save Daiyu, make Bao and Dai two lovers soul mates, and reconnect the red silk rope cut by the old man at the end of the month. As you can imagine, as long as the "sinking cup" can rise, the "HongLing" can continue, which is very different from the reason why the sequel later imagined Bao and Dai's tragedy because of their involuntary marriage. If everything is as written in the sequel by Cheng Weiyuan and Gao E, Jia Baoyu already belongs to him. It has no effect on the destruction of Daiyu. Of course, "Renewing HongLing" doesn't mean letting her be Aunt Bao.

"Burying Flowers" "Today, people who bury flowers laugh, who do you know when you bury flowers?" At the end of the sentence, it was repeated several times in the book, with special emphasis, and even mentioned learning to recite poems by writing parrots. It can be seen that the day when beauty dies of old age is really the time when spring flowers fall, not the comparison of function words. At the same time, it is said here that "we won't know who it is until we bury him", and it is said in front that "whoever dies with fragrance has pity on jade" and "a wandering is hard to find" and so on Then Daiyu can die in a very miserable and lonely situation like Qingwen. At that time, not everyone was busy holding a wedding for Baoyu, so there was no time to take care of it. On the contrary, Baoyu and Xifeng were both exiled because of avoiding disaster. It was a day when "the family was ruined and everyone died, and each family sought more happiness." In the poem, "both willows and pods come from weeds, whether peaches and Li Fei float together" still means this.

"At the beginning of March, the fragrant nest was built, and Yan Liang was too ruthless. Although we can peck flowers next year, it is difficult to grasp the meaning of the sentence "no one can go to the empty nest of Liang", which is between solvable and unsolvable. If you look at it in a prophetic way, it will be clearer. Probably in the spring, Baodai's marriage is basically settled, which is the so-called "fragrant nest is built at the beginning". However, in autumn, something happened, just like Liang Zhongyan flew away mercilessly, and Baoyu was forced to run away from home. Therefore, she lamented that "the soul of flowers and birds is always hard to stay" and imagined that she could "give birth to wings" and walk with her. She cried for a day and a night, and finally all her tears ran out. "

From this point of view, it is completely appropriate to compare "Flower Fall" with Daiyu and "Human Death" (exile). Whenever Jia Baoyu encounters a so-called "ugly disaster", someone else will have bad luck. First Jinchuan, then Qingwen, and finally Daiyu. Therefore, there is a pun in the poem, "Clean quality is better than being trapped in a ditch", which can be used to dissect truth and show integrity.

When Baoyu returned to Jiafu in the autumn of the following year, Hongyi Courtyard was "red, thin and green" (fat comment), and Xiaoxiang Pavilion was a desolate scene of "rustling leaves and loneliness" (fat comment). Daiyu's boudoir was full of excitement with Baoyu, only to see a "cobweb covered with carved beams" (fat comment refers to Baochai's residence). "Although you can peck flowers next year, you can't go to the empty nest of beams!" That's what it means. The above are just some details that can be confirmed from the clues mentioned in the fat review, and may not be so appropriate.

But this poem and Baodai's tragic plot must take care of this and should not be subjective; In fact, the poem "seems to come true" doesn't stop there. Daiyu's Autumn Window Farewell and Peach Blossom Walk also have this nature. The former seems to say unfortunately that she left Baoyu later, while the latter is like a preview of her "want to cry without tears" ending (fat comment).

Some people say that "burying flowers" comes from two poems by Tang Yin (A Dream of Red Mansions). Poetry is of course borrowed from others, but the relationship between "source" and "flow" of literary and artistic creation cannot be confused. When it comes to the use of some words, sentences and artistic styles in previous works, it is really unnecessary to look for them in the collections of Ming people.

In the early Tang Dynasty, Liu Xiyi's "Waiting for the North Pulsatilla", "Flowers change color this year, who will bloom next year", "Flowers are similar year after year, and people are different year after year" and other well-known poems are also enough for reference and utilization. That is, the plot of burying flowers does not necessarily follow the story of Tang Yin burying peony flowers on the east bank of the grain. The poem of "Peach Blossom Buried for a Hundred Years" in Cao Yin's Poem of Kudan Pavilion is not enough to stimulate his thoughts.

But these are all "streams", only used. They can neither represent the main spirit of poetry nor replace the author's creation divorced from real life. What's more, as mentioned above, the author's ingenious writing in this poem does not lie in the lingering words that hurt spring and cherish flowers on the surface.

"A sad funeral poem seems to have come true unconsciously." This lyric poem by Daiyu is actually a prophecy that reveals her fate. Like a fragrant and delicate flower, she quietly opened, was tortured to death in the storm, and quietly disappeared from the world. To say that this poem is a prophecy does not mean that every word implies the specific experience of Daiyu in terms of its overall thinking.

The negative and discouraging emotions in Burying Hanako are also extremely strong and cannot be ignored. It has a bad influence on readers who lack analytical thinking ability. Although this kind of emotion is completely in line with Lin Daiyu's ideological character formed by her artistic environmental position, after all, because the author consciously expresses his life experience through the mouth of the person he loves, to some extent, it exposes the weakness of his thoughts.

In fact, Burying Flowers is not only a poetic prophecy of Daiyu, but also a poetic prophecy of Daguan Garden. Although their specific experiences in the future are different, there is no difference in "no luck in life", and they are all registered in the "unlucky department". With the decline of the Jia family, all the girls in the Grand View Garden have to get stuck in the dirt and ditches, and there is no good end. The preface written by Zhi Yanzhai for Chen Geng's original "Burying Flowers" is a small introduction to the origin of various Yan Wen in the Grand View Garden, so it was used in the period when Yan Yan gathered in the flower day. Whether it is standard or not, just take its rhyme.

Chi Yanzhai's Xu Jiafang criticized poems and songs, but who wrote it in this way?

Chi Yanzhai's Collection of Books in Jing Ke has opened up a new field, which is both an era and an update for the book A Dream of Red Mansions. Besides, it's a good song to read, and it sounds like a broken stone or a feeling. The author is in a dilemma. It is shameful to kill ancient and modern novelists. Leave a few words to comfort him. I didn't see the fallen flowers. How could the jade be buried in Hua Zhong? How to write "burying flowers" without burying incense? Ding, abnormal.

Chi Yanzhai's "Jia Xu Book" was criticized for reading "Song of Burying Flowers" until the third and fourth parts, and his sad feelings made people forget his life experience. He raised his pen four times, but he couldn't approve it. A guest said, Sir, if you want to be Baoyu, how can you write? In other words, this word is double-circled, and this word is immortal. It is difficult to understand each other's meaning. After reading brother Yu, the text will be approved again. Hey, I'm coming to the story of the stone, so I won't write it.

JOE Manuscript written by Delayed Zhai was later recognized ... Why did Baoyu suddenly bury the incense burial because he didn't see the flowers? How to write "Bury Flowers" without burying incense burial? Incense burning, burial and flowers are the origins of Zhu Yan, and "burial flowers" are also Zhu Yan's collections.

Zhi Yanzhai Meng Fu Edition and Qi Bei Pi ... Who will be accused of worrying about nothing? The flowers flew, and I was very sad. After burning incense and crying, I gathered my eyebrows day by day.
