Xiangling studied poetry. Why did Lin Daiyu strongly discourage her from learning Lu You's poems?

Apart from the nuanced plot, the poems in A Dream of Red Mansions are classic descriptions full of cultural significance. Whether it is the Begonia Poetry Club, the banquet at the crab banquet, or "Crossing the Crane in the Cold Pond and Burying the Flower Soul in Leng Yue" sung by Dai and Xiang on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, it has pushed A Dream of Red Mansions to a new height, during which Cao Xueqin specially arranged a feeling of "learning poetry by Xiangling".

Duan, using Lin Daiyu's mouth to describe his own poetic views, is a classic. One of the more interesting points is that when Xiangling said that she liked Lu Fangweng's poems, Lin Daiyu showed strong resistance: Xiangling said with a smile, "I only love Lu Fangweng's poems,' heavy curtains don't last long, but ancient inkstones are slightly concave and gather more ink'." That's interesting. Daiyu said, "Don't learn this kind of poem. "。 Because I don't know poetry, I love it when I see it. Once you enter this mode, you will never learn again. " From what Lin Daiyu said, "Never learn such poems", we can see that she is not opposed to Xiangling learning Lu You's poems.

But against poetry with simple meaning. Many readers misread this place, thinking that Lin Daiyu hates Lu You, but this is actually a misunderstanding! Lin Daiyu's poetic realm is very high, so she also has high requirements for her apprentice Xiangling. In Emperor Taizong's "Emperor Fan", she once mentioned: "If you take the law, you can only take the middle, so you take the law and the middle, so you take it off." Lin Daiyu obviously knows this. When teaching Xiangling poetry, I was very strict with her from the beginning, telling her that the most important thing in poetry is conception. Lin Daiyu's teaching thought is very advanced. Genre-wise, the learning order she arranged for Xiangling is five methods, seven methods and seven unique skills, taking Yan Yu's Cang Shi Lang Dialect as an example.

The Law of Poetry also mentioned: "A metrical poem is hardly an ancient poem, but a quatrain is hardly eight sentences, a seven-character metrical poem is hardly five words, and a five-character quatrain is hardly a seven-character quatrain." Lin Daiyu's planning of Xiangling's poetry study is undoubtedly correct and follows the principle of from easy to difficult. Let's take a look at the poets recommended by Lin Daiyu. They are Wang Wei, Du Fu, Li Bai, Tao Yuanming, Angelababy, Xie Lingyun, Ruan Ji, Yu Xin and Bao Zhao. According to the genre order mentioned above.
