In fact, Lin Daiyu rebuilt the Peach Blossom Society, in addition to her own writing a poem "Peach Blossom Line", the real poetry club activities and collective creation of poems are only the seventieth time of the willow silk words.
There are five ques in the "Liu Shu Ci", namely Shi Xiangyun's "Ru Meng Ling", Jia Tanchun and Jia Baoyu's "Nan Kezi", Lin Daiyu's "Tang Duoling", Xue Baoqin's "Xijiang Yue", and Xue Baochao's "Linjiang Immortal". In fact, these five words all refer to each word, each word is the author's future fate, behind each word, in fact, it is written that the future fate of the lyricist. This is Cao Xueqin's usual writing method, which is the same as the fifth sentence method, which is the so-called "poetry" and "word".

"Liu Xiangyun" began with Shi Xiangyun, of course, there are reasons, because Shi Xiangyun is Baoyu's earliest life friend, and also one of the most important characters around Baoyu (it is generally believed that the ending of the "Dream of the Red Chamber" novel is that Baoyu and Xiangyun finally came together, and the two relied on each other after the fall of Jia Fu), so the liuyi words related to fate naturally also began with Shi Xiangyun.
Let's say it in order:
Shi Xiangyun's "Like a Dream Order", the full text is as follows:
Is it embroidered velvet that spits out, rolls up half a curtain of incense mist, and hands come to it, and the air makes Yan jealous. Live, live! Don't let the spring light go.
"Like a Dream Order" is a small order, the words are very short, the whole word seems to be writing willow silk, and the last sentence "Don't let the spring light go" is a high sentence, which is a finishing touch and a sublimation. In the front is the description of the spring scene, and the back is the expression of the feeling of cherishing the spring, which is the retention of spring. As we have already said before, Shi Xiangyun later married Wei Ruolan and lived a very happy post-marital life after marriage, but through this poem, combined with her sentence "Joy in Sorrow", Shi Xiangyun's happy married life after marriage is short-lived, although it is as beautiful as spring, but in the end "spring light don't go".
(Shi Xiangyun)
Next is Jia Tanchun's "Nan Kezi", "Nan Kezi" is a word plate, often referred to as "Nan Gezi", Cao Xueqin here deliberately wrote "Nan Kezi", is to let the reader think of the "Nan Ke a dream" this idiom, "Nan Ke Dream" is of course beautiful, but Nan Ke dream wake up, will find that the original is just a void, not to mention, Tan Chun's "Nan Ke Dream" is only written half que, even the dream is not complete.
Jia Tanchun's half-wording writes:
Hanging in the air, hanging fibers, hanging on the silk, it is also difficult to tie and difficult to bind, and the east, west, south and north are separated.
Of course, the literal meaning is still to write Willow Silk, but the meaning behind the literal is, of course, to write that the future fate of Tanchun is "far marriage", is "a term of east, west, south and north separation", which is also consistent with the sentence of "three thousand in one sail" for the future long marriage of Tanchun.
(Tanchun)
Interestingly, the words that Tanchun did not finish writing were written by Bao Yu.
Falling to Junxiu, flying to me knows. When the warbler butterflies are tired of the evening, even if it is next spring, see you again in the next year!
The emotions in this word are also a trace of sadness in the good, although it can be "goodbye next spring", in the end it is "the next year", this is helpless, it is sadness from it, it indicates that Baoyu will embark on the end of "goodbye in the next life" in the future, it is a complete separation, even far beyond the separation of "east, west, south and north", no longer space, but also the separation of time, to say goodbye to Liu Shu, unless it is reborn, and to say goodbye to people, unless it is the next life, this is the separation that will never be seen again, of course, Baoyu finally, It is renunciation, it is the separation that has left everything behind.
(Baoyu and the Raider)
Daiyu's "Tang Duo Ling", as many people commented, is "too sad" and "entangled in sorrow", if you read the words carefully, you will find that the sadness in it has reached the level of "death farewell":
Pink fall hundred flowers island, fragrant remnant swallow building. One by one, they are demanding. Drifting is also like a thin human life, empty, said wind flow. The grass and trees are also worried, and Shaohua is white-headed! Sigh who gives up who receives in this life? Marry with The East Wind Spring, don't care, go with Er, and endure drowning.
Of course, "Pink Fall" can be a metaphor for the death of a woman, and "Hundred Flowers Continent" according to the "Great Qing Yi Tongzhi" record, obviously on the Gusu Mountain, and Dai Yu is a Gusu person, how straightforward. "Swallow Building" uses the allusion of Guan Panpan, "fragrant residue", naturally it can be said that the woman is gone, Su Shi's "Yong Yu Le" also said "Swallow Building is empty, where is the beauty?" "This clearly emphasizes that the beauty is dead. What is even more tragic is that Daiyu's sorrow is the sorrow that there is no sustenance in this life, it is "sigh in this life, who picks up who collects!" The sadness, we have already said in the previous article, at this time, Dai Yu, trapped in the dilemma of fate, unable to be relieved, can not be relieved, so Dai Yu sighed that "Shao Hua" has passed away, and even more sighed her "youth and old death" (her physical condition has not allowed her to wait and realize her love). This que word is similar to Daiyu's farewell speech, but it is only implicit in the lament for Liu Shu.
(Daiyu)
Look at Xue Baoqin's words again:
The Han Garden is sporadically limited, and the Sui Causeway is endlessly embellished. Three spring career to pay the east wind, bright moon plum blossom a dream. A few red courtyards, whose incense curtains? Jiangnan and Jiangbei are generally the same, but they are hated by people!
Baoqin because of the travel to the rivers and mountains, his poetry is majestic, so there is a "Han Yuan" and "Sui Causeway" related to the fate of the homeland, it seems to write Willow Silk, sighing is the "Three Spring Cause", is an irreparable tragedy, Willow Silk is white, so here "Bright Moon Plum Blossom Dream" seems inappropriate, but this is Cao Xueqin's deliberate arrangement, because Baoqin finally married, married to "Mei" Hanlin, as a woman, her Three Spring career, of course, refers to her married life, therefore, Baoqin's future life is also tragic, At least it is a "departed person" who is separated from her husband and lives in "Jiangnan jiangbei". Therefore, when we mention Baoqin, we will say that she is an exception, that she may be a happy woman, according to the arrangement of this que word, it seems that it is not, in "Dream of the Red Chamber", there are no happy women, their fate is tragic, it is the real "thousand red one cry", "wan Yan and sorrow".
(Baoqin)
Bao Chao's words, according to her own words, are meant to write "OK" to Liu Shu, so her words should be a change of sad tone and turn to the sun, but is this really the case? See:
Bai Yutang danced in front of the spring, and the east wind rolled evenly. The bee colonies are in disarray. A few have passed away with the water, will not be entrusted with dust. Thousands of threads will not change in the end, let him gather and divide. Shaohua Xiu smiled at the rootless, good wind frequently borrowed power, sent me to Qingyun!
The literal meaning is indeed full of "positive energy", Bao Chao has always been "with the gathering and sharing", she "with the passing of the water", "Wei Fang dust", but finally after Daiyu's death, was helped by the "East Wind" of the situation in Jia Fu to the qingyun position of "Bao Er's grandmother", because Jia Fu will be defeated, it is a situation of "bee groups and butterflies are in chaos", Daiyu's death, "Golden and Jade Good Fortune" has become inevitable, Jia Zheng's financial difficulties, the Xue family is short of people, and two phases of help is an inevitable situation, but Liu Fu is a real "rootless" thing, no matter how to overturn the case, In the end, Baochao was still inevitably abandoned by Baoyu. Her destination must be as the verdict says, "even if it is a case of eyebrows, in the end it is difficult to reconcile", and her end must be "buried in the snow of the golden hairpin".
(Baochao)
In summary, these "Willow Words" are not only placed here by the author in order to show their poetic talents, they participate in the construction of the plot, they are an inseparable part of the novel, and each word is in line with the character of the lyricist and foreshadows their fate.
