How did Lin Daiyu die?
Sink into the lake and die! Liu speculated that Daiyu should have died by sinking into the lake. He looked for foreshadowing from the first eighty chapters written by Cao Xueqin as reasoning evidence. Evidence 1 Mid-Autumn Poems by Daiyu and Xiangyun Lake-Source: Back to the seventy-sixth, Liu said that the two of them joined hands and made two thrilling words. Xiangyun said: crossing the crane shadow in the cold pond. Daiyu received a sentence: Leng Yue buried the flower soul. The popular version is the soul of poetry, and the ancient version is the soul of flowers. "Flower Soul" is not a sudden word, but appears many times in Lin Daiyu's funeral poems. Seventy-six visits to this place are a symbol of Lin Daiyu. " Liu explained that "Leng Yue buries the flower soul" means that on the bleak Mid-Autumn night, the Mid-Autumn moon is reflected on the lake and the flower soul sinks step by step. This couplet poem implies that Lin Daiyu sank into the lake. Evidence 2 The title of Daiyu in Haitang Society is "Princess Xiaoxiang" —— Source: Chapter 37 "Princess Xiaoxiang, what do you mean?" Liu refers to the two concubines of Shun in ancient legend. When the two concubines learned of Shun's death, they both shed tears on the bamboo, and spots appeared, so they were named Spotted Bamboo and Xiaoxiang Bamboo. "When they couldn't find Shun, their tears dried up, and they died in the water, between rivers and lakes. "Said, Liu Erren ending is" tears into water ". So the nickname "Princess Xiaoxiang" itself implies that Daiyu sank into the lake. Evidence 3 Baoyu paid homage to Daiyu and made a prophetic remark-Source: On the 44th time, Liu mentioned Xifeng's birthday, but Jia Baoyu suddenly sneaked to the well in buddhist nun, because it was also Jinchang's birthday, and he knew that Jinchang had jumped into the well and died because of his misconduct. No one cares, only Daiyu and Baoyu know what they are doing. She said: "The water in the world always comes from the same source. We can accept a bowl of water from Guo Rong Building and Grand View Garden and express our condolences to this bowl of water. Isn't that all? "You have to run out on purpose." Liu thinks it is a foolish thing for Daiyu to say such a thing, which is an early hint of her future fate. "If Cao Xueqin writes about the death of Daiyu, it is likely that Jia Baoyu will scoop up a bowl of water and pay homage to her in the bowl." Evidence The lyrics of Princess 4 yuan's mother-in-law drama "Mourning"-Source: The eighteenth time "Yuan Fei ordered four plays when she was in her mother-in-law, among which" Mourning "in Peony Pavilion was very popular." Liu said, because Zhi Yanzhai came to comment on the death of Fu Daiyu. "Mid-Autumn people are not free, and slaves live in solitary months. Tonight, I will spend the rest of my life in the rain. I hate to be in a hurry, and the wind will cut jade hibiscus. " Liu pointed out that this poem is in the artistic conception of "Leng Yue buries the flower soul", and "Yu Lian" here refers to the water lotus, implying that Daiyu died in the water. Liu pointed out that the comment on writing of "Cao Xueqin's close collaborator" Zhi Yanzhai is an important basis for interpreting A Dream of Red Mansions. Zhi Yanzhai made it clear that the play he ordered contains four things, which is the key to the festival. Liu guessed that if Cao Xueqin wrote about the death of Daiyu, he would have described this passage very beautifully. Like burying flowers, Daiyu will carefully design her own clothes, props and routes, sink into the lake step by step, and return to heaven through immortality. Maybe the next day people found Daiyu dead, but they couldn't find the body, only clothes and hairpin rings existed. The author thinks that she was saved by Baoyu's irrigation, probably writing that she was killed by water and sank into the lake. It is reasonable that she was born near the water and died in the water.
