Characteristics: Sentiment
Example 1: In March, Lin Daiyu was buried with flowers. Jia Baoyu wants to bury the fallen flowers in the water, but Lin Daiyu thinks that the water in the Grand View Garden is clean, but once it flows out, it will be mixed with dirty and smelly people outside, and the flowers will collapse. So she made a flower grave at the wrong corner of the garden, swept up the fallen flowers, put them in silk bags, buried them, and let them rot with the soil, so that they would be clean.
Example 2: Lin Daiyu was on trial and Xue Baochai sent bird's nests. Jia Baoyu called it "Meng Guang took over Liang Hong's case", which meant Chai and Dai reconciled. However, at the same time, Lin Daiyu's condition worsened day by day, and she often "looked for trouble", "just felt sad" and "just ignored the pain". Even Zicuckoo was worried for her, and skillfully used love words to test Jia Baoyu's sincerity. Aunt Xue did not expect a good marriage, so Lin Daiyu accepted Aunt Xue as her godmother
Example 3: When Lin was fifteen years old, the Xue family’s mother-in-law gave her candied lychees. Dai and Bao have nightmares, and Lin Daiyu coughs up blood. In October, when Lin was sixteen, Bao Dai participated in Zen. Jia Baoyu confided in her heart and vowed not to change her mind. In November, the begonias in Yihongyuan bloomed out of season, and the psychic gem was lost. On the one hand, Lin Daiyu secretly rejoiced that the marriage between Jin and Jade might be broken, but on the other hand, she was worried about Jia Baoyu's good or bad fortune, so she had a mixed feeling. On December 19, Yuanchun passed away.

The reasons for Lin Daiyu's sentimental family background:
Lin Daiyu was born in Gusu and moved to Yangzhou when she was five years old because her father was an official. His mother, Jia Min, is the youngest of Jia Mu's four daughters, and his father, Lin Ruhai, is a Tanhua with a criminal record. He first served as the doctor of Lantai Temple, and later was transferred to Yangzhou as the salt inspector.
Although the Lin family is not a wealthy family, it is a scholarly family. Lin Daiyu once had a younger brother who was one year younger and died at the age of three. Therefore, her parents loved her like a treasure. Seeing that she was smart and comely, they hired Jia Yucun as a tutor to teach her reading and calligraphy, pretending to be an adopted son. When Lin Daiyu was six or seven years old, her mother died of illness.
