This is the last Mid-Autumn Festival written by Cao Xueqin in A Dream of Red Mansions. Compared with the previous Mid-Autumn Festival, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is particularly sad. Baochai and Baoqin moved out because of the inspection of the Grand View Garden, but they didn't attend. Both Xi Feng and Li Wan are ill and can't come. Baoyu went back to his room early because Qingwen was ill. Jia she called Mrs. Xing away because she sprained her ankle. Although Jia Zheng came back, he couldn't enjoy himself together because of the difference between men and women. Jia mu always likes to be lively. This Mid-Autumn Festival, which was supposed to be lively and joyful, was obviously much colder than usual. In the end, only Tan Chun and You Shi accompanied Jia Mu.
This actually indicates that the once brilliant and lively scenery of the Jia family is gone forever, and it can never return to its former appearance. The whimpering flute seems to herald everything.
Although Daiyu and Xiangyun are here, the atmosphere is obviously very depressing, which is extremely out of harmony with the festive atmosphere, and it is not what they want, so they meet and come to the concave crystal pavilion next to Tubi Villa, which is a quiet place, and a couplet poem of two people comes.
At the end of the poem, a person jumps out, which is Miaoyu. Miaoyu arrived, but the book didn't say anything. Did she eavesdrop on them? I don't think so. Perhaps Miaoyu came earlier than Daiyu and Xiangyun, and this desolate place is suitable for her to enjoy the moon alone. Over there, Grandmother Jia is taking a group of people to enjoy the moon, and Miaoyu should also enjoy the moon. Unfortunately, as a monk, she can't enjoy the moon with the Jia family. Although she also lives in the Grand View Garden, she is just lonely. A quiet person, accompanied by a lonely moon shadow. As Su Shi wrote in his poem, "Who will you sit with? The breeze is bright and the moon is bright! "
The Grand View Garden used to be the kingdom of a little daughter, a kingdom of poetry. Miaoyu is a member of the Grand View Garden, but due to her status, she can't join their poetry club. But can she write poetry? How is her poetry? What about her talent? The author must give her a chance to appear.
Therefore, when Xiangyun and Daiyu saw "the shadow of a crane crossing the cold pond and Leng Yue burying the soul of flowers", Miaoyu jumped out and said with a smile, "Good poem, good poem, really sad. There's no need to go down there. If you just go on like this, you will not see these two sentences, but you will feel far-fetched. " As soon as this sentence came out, we knew that Miaoyu knew how to appreciate poetry, and her talent was not under Dai and Xiang.
Then the author said that Daiyu had never seen Miaoyu write poetry, so she was allowed to continue, proving once again that Miaoyu not only knew how to appreciate poetry, but also could write poetry. After reading the book "Thirty-five Rhymes of the Grand View Garden on Mid-Autumn Night", Daiyu and Xiangyun both praised and said, "Obviously we are close every day. Now that the poet is here, he talks on paper every day. " This sentence gave Miaoyu a very high evaluation and once again reflected the importance of Miaoyu. Why can she rank sixth in the official list of Twelve Women in Jinling? She is no less poetic than Chai Daixiang and others.
Scenes of enjoying the moon reveal the poetic feelings of three women, and at the same time, they seem to make a final summary statement to the Grand View Garden: Youth may end here, and this is the last feast. Let this scene leave us with the last and best memories.
