Ten Ancient Poems of Dream of Red Mansions

The ten ancient poems in A Dream of Red Mansions are as follows:

1. Mid-Autumn Festival pregnant with the moon

Not knowing your wishes often increases your sadness for a period of time. When bored, close your forehead and go back several times. Who cares about romantic affairs? If Toad is interested, go to Jade's house first.

This poem first appeared in A Dream of Red Mansions, "Zhen is a psychic in a dream and a lady in love". This is a lovesick work written by Jia Yucun on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival.

Jia Yucun lives in Hulu Temple next door to the town of Yin Shi. He is handsome and very appreciated by Zhen. Jia Yucun was invited to Zhen's house.

Seeing Jiao Xing, a girl picking flowers in the hospital, Jiao Xing looked at Jia Yucun more. Jia Yucun thought Jiao Xing was interested in himself, and returned to his residence to hurt his secret love. On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, Jia Yucun missed Jiao Xing and wrote this poem because he missed the bright moon.

2. "Nianju"

This muse, which is difficult to be poetic, pesters me from morning till night and has to walk around the fence or whisper on the stone. There is wisdom in the pen, with story story, story story, story story, story fragrance and story moon. All the words on paper are their own sorrow. Who can understand their inner feelings through words only? Since Tao Qian wrote Ode to Chrysanthemum, Qiu Qiuju's noble character has been praised by people.

This poem appeared in the thirty-eighth poem "Lin Xiaoxiang's Chrysanthemum-grabbing Poem Xue Heng's Crab-mocking Poem", which was written by Daiyu and was praised as the highest chrysanthemum-chanting poem by all in the Grand View Garden.

The most wonderful part of this poem is the couplet "After Ling Tao's comments on the chapter, it has been praised for its noble character", which not only praises the noble character of Chrysanthemum, but also implies the noble character of Daiyu.

3. Love the Moon

Every three or five days, they will reunite and the jade fence will be full of light. It took a turn in the sky to get out, and all the surnames in the world looked up.

This poem first appeared in A Dream of Red Mansions. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival night. Zhen invited to be a guest at home. Under the bright moon, the two were drunk and met on the moon. Jia Yucun was full of poetry and sang this poem.

4. "Five beautiful women sing Fei Ming"

Absolutely gorgeous and stunning out of the Han Palace, the beauty of life is thin and ancient. Even if the king is light-colored, what kind of painter will he seize power?

This poem appeared in the sixty-fourth "Five Beautiful Poems, A Sad Woman Poem, Wandering in Kowloon". Dai Yu said in the article: "I have seen talented women in ancient history. Many people are happy, envious, sad and lamented all their lives ... I wrote a few poems casually to express my feelings." After reading it, Baoyu titled it "Five Beautiful Songs". This poem about Ming Fei is the second highest among the five.
