Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai have different poetry writing styles. Lin Daiyu prefers emotional delicacy in her poetry. She uses her own feelings to write poetry. She also conforms to the same characteristics of many poets. , is to use poetry to express one's emotions.
For example, Lin Daiyu’s song "The Flower Burial Song": I don’t know who buried the flower today, but I don’t know who it buried next year. This poem can express Lin Daiyu’s pessimistic mental state at that time. She was living under someone else’s roof. I don’t know when my life will end.
Lin Daiyu writes poetry because she loves poetry. Lin Daiyu has a very sensitive and pessimistic personality, unlike Xue Baochai, who is flexible and versatile. So she could only devote all her talents and thoughts to writing poetry. She can express her emotions and relieve her loneliness by writing poems. It can be said that Lin Daiyu's life in Jia Mansion, apart from spending time with her sisters, spent the rest of her time writing poetry.
Lin Daiyu has written many popular poems such as "Peach Blossom Row", "Ode to Burial Flowers" and "Autumn Window Stormy Evening". I think she really treats her work as a career. Once, when Lin Daiyu and her sisters were composing poems in a poetry club, everyone else had handed in their papers, but she had not yet. At that time, Li Wan urged her to write quickly, and she finished it after gathering her thoughts for a while. This also shows that Lin Daiyu has become a proficient poet and has very quick thinking.
Xue Baochai's poetry writing is even more impromptu. Xue Baochai is a very worldly person. She is very good at interpersonal relationships and dealing with people. It was just a temporary whim to compose poetry, and I was not that persistent in writing poetry.
If Xue Baochai is inspired, the quality of his poems is acceptable, but there are not many works. These poems can only partially reflect that Xue Baochai has a certain level of poetry writing, but her overall ability is not as good as Lin Daiyu's. After all, she is not as dedicated to poetry writing as Lin Daiyu.
So in my personal judgment, compared with Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu in terms of literary accomplishment and cultural attainments in poetry, Lin Daiyu is still superior.
