On the Qingming Festival, the Lotus Official burned paper in the Grand View Garden to pay tribute to the dead Gong Guan, but was discovered and reported by the steward's wife, and scolded the Lotus Official in front of Bao Yu, and also forcibly pulled her to accept punishment, and Bao Yu covered up for it and supported her, making her exempt from responsibility.
Later, through his own handmaiden Fangguan, he learned that the Lotus Official had a love affair with the Role of Xiao Dan and the Singan Who played Xiao Dan, and developed to your love and love, which is inseparable! As soon as The Official died, paper was burned every Qingming Festival... Baoyu, who learned the inside story, was both happy and lamented, so Tuofangguan conveyed his own concept of sacrifice to the Lotus Official:
One is not to burn paper. "In the future, we must not burn paper, because this paper money was originally a heretic of posterity, not a testament of Confucius." From the perspective of Daguanyuan, it is easy to cause fires by burning paper casually, and Daguanyuan is magnificent, and once it catches fire, it will suffer heavy losses.
The second is sincerity. As long as the heart is pure, a cup of tea, a lamp of water, or flowers and fruits can express their hearts. Sending condolences.
Finally, I repeatedly told the lotus official not to burn paper!!
Bao Yu said this, and he did the same thing himself, you see the way he paid tribute to the deceased several times:
When he went to the wilderness to pay homage to Jin Jun'er, the incense prepared for him by the nuns of shuixian Temple was not used at all, and only two small pieces of agarwood and quick incense in his small purse were burned to make offerings;
Qin Zhong died, and Baoyu picked ten fresh lotuses from the pond of the Grand View Garden and asked Xiao Wei to send them to the grave for him.
Qingwen died of illness, he heard the little girl say that Qingwen had become the god of Furong, and saw Furong on the pond in the garden, so he made a long article in front of Furong, "Furong Daughter Jasmine", hung on the hibiscus branch, read while crying, and burned it after reading...
From this point of view, Baoyu's way of paying tribute to the deceased is very environmentally friendly and advanced, and his unique views and methods coincide with modern environmental protection concepts, which are worth learning from us!
Nowadays, the way of paying tribute to the deceased in some remote places is still backward: some firecrackers show off their wealth, some burn paper money and even burn paper paper paper mobile phones, etc., not only engaged in black smoke miasma, but also sometimes caused forest fires...
At present, it is the Qingming Festival, I hope that everyone will make environmental protection offerings, let the deceased rest in peace, and let the living better enjoy the blue sky!
