1. Linjiang Immortal (Xue Baochai)
Spring dance in front of Baiyu Hall, the east wind blows evenly. Bees and butterflies swarmed around them. How many times have the water passed away? Is it necessary to commit suicide?
Thousands of threads will never change, let him gather and divide as he pleases. The laughter of Shaohua has no roots at all. The good wind carries me to the blue clouds with its power.
Both are poems about catkins. Daiyu’s "Linjiang Fairy" is full of sadness, but Baochai’s poems are joyful, which vividly displays the character’s thoughts and personality. When the Peach Blossom Club was built, the Grand View Garden was, as the poem says, "surrounded by bees and butterflies and in chaos." Changes were about to happen. Baochai is a person with deep scheming and ability in dealing with things. She has always been noble and self-sufficient, and she is deeply loved by her feudal parents. Naturally, she has nothing to do with "ugliness". Therefore, she can "understand the dance" and "evenly", and will not "go with the passing water" or "let the dust" like Luoxu, but will "frequently borrow strength" and "go up to the blue clouds". This also just shows Xue Baochai's ambition, hoping that one day he can climb up to the throne of "Second Mistress Bao" and hold great power. In the book, her wish did come true, but it only brought infinite sadness to Xue Baochai: although she won power, she did not win Baoyu's precious love. Later, Baoyu cut off all ties with the world and left. Xue Baochai could only stay alone in the empty boudoir for the rest of his life, and he would be desolate and lonely when he came later.
2. "Ode to the White Begonia" Part 2
Cherishing the beauty, closing the door during the day, holding hands with the urn and filling the moss basin. Rouge washes out the shadow of autumn, and ice and snow reveal the soul.
When it is extremely light, I know that the flowers are more beautiful, and how can I get the jade without a trace when I am sad. In order to repay the white emperor for his cleanliness, Tingting said nothing and the sun became dim again.
In the couplet "The rouge washes out the shadows of the autumn steps, and the ice and snow bring out the exposed soul", the first sentence washes away the rouge, which expresses the beauty of its natural color, and the second sentence uses the crystal clear ice and snow to describe its purity and purity. soul. The use of inverted sentence patterns is novel and unique; the words "wash" and "zhao" use personification to vividly convey the charm and demeanor of Bai Begonia; and the contrast of "autumn steps" and "exposed bricks" are even more symbolic profound. The poet implicitly expresses Bai Haitang's simple, elegant, clean and self-motivated character.
