The last sentence of Lin Daiyu's "Flower Burial Speech" is: Flowers fall and people die without knowing it
"Flower Burial Speech"
When the flowers fade, the flowers fly all over the sky, red Who will pity the fragrance? ?The soft hairspring is tied to the floating spring pavilion, and the fallen catkins lightly touch the embroidered curtain. ?Three hundred and sixty days a year, the wind, the sword, the frost, the sword force each other. ?How long can the bright beauty last? It is hard to find it once it is wandering. ?The flowers are easy to see when they are in bloom but hard to find when they are gone. The flowers are buried in sorrow in front of the steps. ?Leaning alone on the flower hoe, I shed tears secretly, and sprinkled the empty branches with traces of blood. ?May I have wings under my wings and fly with the flowers to the end of the sky. ?At the end of the sky, where is the fragrant hill? ! ?Not like a brocade bag to collect beautiful bones, but a handful of pure soil to cover up the wind. ?It is better to come and go clean than to be trapped in filthy ditches. ?If you die now, you will be buried. You don’t know when you will be buried. ?The people who are buried with flowers today are laughing like idiots. Who will they be buried with next year? ?At the end of the sky, where is the fragrant hill? ! ? Just look at the spring flowers gradually falling, it is the time when the beauty dies of old age. ?Once the spring is gone, the beauty grows old, and the flowers fall and the people die. ?The willow silk and elm pods are still blooming, no matter the peach blossoms and the plum blossoms; ?The peaches and plums will bloom again next year, who will be in the boudoir next year? ?In March, the fragrant nest was first built, and the swallows in the beams were so ruthless! ?Although you can peck at the flowers next year, there will be no one left and the nest will be empty. ?Three hundred and sixty days a year, the wind, the sword, the frost, the sword force each other. ?How long can the bright and beautiful beauty last? Once you wander, you will find it early. ?The flowers are easy to see but hard to find when they are gone. The person who buries the flower with sorrow in front of the steps is sad; ?The cuckoo is speechless at dusk, and the lotus returns with his hoe to cover the heavy door. ?The green lantern shines on the wall, and the person is sleeping for the first time, while the cold rain hits the window and the quilt is not yet warm. ?Kai Nong’s troubles are doubly distressing? Half to cherish the spring and half to be annoyed by the spring: ? I feel sorry for the spring, and I am annoyed and then it goes away, and when it comes, I don’t say anything but don’t hear it. ? Yesterday, a sad song was heard outside the court. Did you know it was the soul of a flower or a bird? ?Flower souls and bird souls are always hard to retain. Birds are speechless and flowers are ashamed: ?May I have wings today and fly with flowers to the end of the sky. ?Endless! Where is the fragrant hill? ?It is not like a brocade bag to collect beautiful bones, a handful of pure soil to cover the wind; ?If you die now, you will be buried. I don’t know when you will be buried? ?If you bury flowers today and laugh like crazy, who will you bury next year? ? Just look at the spring flowers gradually falling, it is the time when the beauty dies of old age. ?Once the spring is gone, the beauty grows old, and the flowers fall and people forget about both.
"Daiyu Buries Flowers" is a classic fragment in the literary masterpiece "A Dream of Red Mansions". Lin Daiyu pities flowers the most and feels that it is cleanest to bury them in the soil after they fall, which shows that she has a unique view of beauty. She wrote the poem "Burial of Flowers", using flowers as a metaphor for herself, which is one of the most beautiful poems in "A Dream of Red Mansions". Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu had a conversation when they were burying flowers, which became the swan song for resolving the misunderstanding between lovers in "A Dream of Red Mansions".
