First of all, I don't think Miaoyu is eavesdropping on Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun's poems. We might as well see the scene at that time.
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 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. Xifeng and Li Wan were both ill and couldn't come. Baoyu went back to the house early because Qingwen was ill. Jia Forgive called Mrs. Xing away because he sprained his ankle. Although Jia Zheng came back, he couldn't enjoy himself together because of the difference between men and women. Grandmother Jia always likes to be lively. This Mid-Autumn Festival, which should have been lively and happy, is obviously more deserted than usual. In the end, only Tan Chun and You Shi accompanied Jia Mu.
This actually indicates that the scenery of the Jia family, which was once brilliant and lively, is gone and can never return to its previous appearance. The whimpering flute seems to herald everything.
Although Daiyu and Xiangyun are here, the atmosphere is obviously very depressing, which is extremely incompatible with the festive atmosphere and is not what they want, so they meet and come to the concave crystal creek pavilion next to Tubi Mountain Villa, which is a quiet place, and a poem of two people is written.
At the end of the poem, a person jumps out, which is Miaoyu. When Miaoyu arrived, the book did not say. 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 only lonely and lonely. A quiet person is accompanied by a lonely moon shadow. As Su Shi wrote in his poem: "Who will you sit with? Breeze, bright moon, me! "
The Grand View Garden was once a kingdom of young daughters and also 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? What is her level of poetry? What about her talent? The author must give her a chance to appear.
So, when Xiangyun and Daiyu saw "crossing the crane shadow in the cold pond and burying the flower soul in Leng Yue", Miaoyu jumped out and said with a smile, "Good poem, good poem, really sad. There's no need to go down again. If you just go down like this, you won't see these two sentences, but you think it's 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.
Next, the author said that Daiyu had never seen Miaoyu write a poem, so she was asked to continue, once again proving that Miaoyu not only knows how to appreciate poetry, but also knows how to write poetry. After reading the book "Thirty-five Rhymes of the Scenery Couplet in the Grand View Garden on a Mid-Autumn Night", Daiyu and Xiangyun both praised it and said, "Obviously, we are far away from the near every day. Now that the poet is here, he goes to talk on paper every day. " This sentence gave Miaoyu a very high evaluation and once again reflected the importance of Miaoyu. Why can she be in the official list of "Twelve Women in Jinling" and rank sixth? She is a woman who is no less poetic and talented than Chai Daixiang and others.
A scene of enjoying the moon reveals the poetic feelings of three women, and at the same time, it seems to be giving a final summary statement to the Grand View Garden: Youth may be over here, and this is the last feast. Let this scene leave us with the last and best memories.
