Daiyu pities flowers the most, thinking that flowers are the cleanest buried in the soil after falling, which shows that she has a unique view on beauty. She wrote a funeral poem, comparing herself to a flower, which is one of the most beautiful poems in A Dream of Red Mansions.
Daiyu burned poems several times. The last time was before he died. She felt that her bosom friend was dead and there was no poem. She completely despaired of the world, so she burned the poems. In fact, she usually burns poems. That reason is mostly because of dissatisfaction with the quality of poetry.
