Appreciation of the works of singing and hanging the moon at midnight

In the novel, Xiangling learns to write poems from Lin Daiyu. The first one is not well written, but the second one is still unsatisfactory. She refused to give up, sang hard day and night, and wrote poems in her dreams. The third song finally got everyone's praise. "Sing the Moon, Hang the Moon, Cool at Night" is the first song.

Xiangling, born in a family of "township officials" who are pampered, first became a domestic servant and then became Xue Pan's concubine. Her position in the Grand View Garden is lower than that of a young lady and higher than that of a girl. She is eager to live a spiritual life in the upper class, which can be seen from her environmental status. But the author fully sympathizes with the role. In the plot of Xiangling's study of poetry, the author also tells his own poetic theory and experience in writing poetry.

Xiangling's poems have no implicit language, so she can't open her mind, so she has to pile up words and make up a few sentences. Twenty-eight words, beginning and ending, only say "when is the bright moon", the content is very empty. Lin Daiyu said, "It's because you haven't read enough poems that you are bound by him." Ask her to "just do it boldly."

The author imitates the style of beginners, the common faults they are prone to make in practice and the process of their gradual exploration and progress in learning, and truly reproduces the achievements of different stages, making these poems an inseparable and organic part of novel description, which is successful in art.
