Extended data:
About "Lin Xiaoxiang's chrysanthemum-grabbing poems, Xue Heng's satirical remarks and crab's chanting", it is a harmonious and affectionate picture in the Grand View Garden. The autumn air is refreshing, the osmanthus fragrance is fragrant, and the sisters in the Grand View Garden all sing chrysanthemums and crabs. How elegant! When a poem is finished, it should be judged according to its value.
Therefore, Daiyu's chrysanthemum poems should be the best, and Baochai's crab poems are unique. Baochai's "Ode to the Crab" is rich in meaning, satirizing corrupt officials who are greedy for fame and fortune and attached to power, and has won unanimous praise from everyone. At this time, these small topics should be regarded as great talents as long as they have the general idea.
Everyone says it's just that irony is too poisonous. In addition, Baoyu's words can also show that Baoyu's name is only "Xi", which just reflects Baoyu's character of refusing official career, which is also Zuo Gong's original intention.
Dai Yu's poems about crabs were all inspired by Baoyu, and she only talked about the richness of food and the joy of feasting, with no intention of targeting Baochai at all.
