When Cao Xueqin set up the characters of "Dream of the Red Chamber", she sometimes "abnormally" and made some unexpected arrangements. For example, Lin Daiyu, who is going to talk about this article, she is obviously the reincarnation of Daizhu Immortal Grass, but her name is Lin Daiyu, but it is a little red name called Lin Hongyu, and the design here is very interesting.
The word "red" in "Dream of the Red Chamber" is extremely special and is a symbol representing the main idea. Not only does the title of the book use the word "red", but lin daiyu and Jia Baoyu's previous life daizhu immortal grass "绛" and the "red" of the attendant of the chifeng palace god Ying are all meaning "red".
"Red" also represents the daughter, the red pink lady, the red face confidant. Jia Baoyu self-proclaimed the Flower King of Daidong, the Prince of Yihong, and loves "Red" is to love his daughter.
"Red" also represents "blood", the blood and tears of the daughter. It is said that the illusory realm of the ether is "a thousand reds and a cave and a cup of beauty".
"Red" is the main theme of "Dream of the Red Chamber", Lin Daiyu is also the reincarnation of Daizhu Immortal Grass, it is said that her name is "Lin Hongyu" is more appropriate, but she abandons the word "red" and instead takes the name Lin Daiyu.
"Dai" is dark green and almost black, and the expression is to fit the attributes of Lin Daiyu's grass and wood people, but the true meaning of not using the word "red" is more than this.
Cao Xueqin's choice of the word "Dai" must be a more suitable for Lin Daiyu's life tragedy than the word "red".
Start by saying the word "red". Xiaohong got Lin Hongyu's name and affirmed that she was the shadow of Lin Daiyu.
Xiaohong began to be divided into Yihong Courtyard to see the house, counting as a second-class deacon, Hongyu and Yihong Courtyard complemented each other.
However, after Jia Baoyu parachuted into yihong courtyard, Xiaohong, as a deacon, was not responsible for serving, and was excluded from the outside and only responsible for boiling water and watering flowers, which was equivalent to a rough handmaiden.
Xiao Hong was not willing to wait for the opportunity to approach Jia Baoyu, and as a result, after the broken sand was broken by Qiu Wen and so on, she could not gain a foothold in YiHong Courtyard, so she had to go away and follow Wang Xifeng to become a deacon.
Lin Hongyu and Jia Baoyu had no fate and were forced to leave, which was one of the reasons why Lin Hongyu was Dai Yuying.
Xiaohong's "red" character does not match Jia Baoyu. Jia Baoyu had already occupied the word "red", and although Xiaohong avoided the word "jade", she did not avoid the word "red", and she had no connection with Jia Baoyu, so she had to leave to be serious.
And Xiaohong's departure from Yihong Courtyard to achieve a marriage with Jia Yun is her second meaning for Daiyuying.
Jia Yun's "yun" refers to "yun xiang", and also has the meaning of "yun", which is rapeseed.
Jia Yun took the word "green" and made a pair of "red and green" with xiaohong's "red" word. The acquaintance, acquaintance and love of the two of them, Cao Xueqin used the story of "West Chamber" to reflect the unswritten writing of Bao Dai's marriage.
In addition, the successful marriage of Xiaohong and Jia Yun can be seen as another model of Bao Dai's marriage, which also confirms the collocation relationship of "red and green".
Jia Baoyu is the Prince of Yihong, the Flower King of Daidong, accounting for the word "red", Lin Daiyu is bound to reflect the meaning of "green", Dai is green.
Jia Baoyu originally gave YiHongyuan the right forehead, and the "red fragrant green jade" referred to Bao Dai's marriage.
Red is jade, green is daiyu. Green jade is Daiyu, and Xiangyu is also Daiyu (little rat stealing Xiangyu).
The reason why Jia Yuanchun did not like Lin Daiyu's support for Xue Baochao was not only reflected in the Dragon Boat Festival. She took the "Tingting Huayu" modified that night as Hua Yan and the "Red Fragrant Green Jade" as Yi Hong And Quick Green, all of which were the meaning of rejecting Lin Daiyu.
The removed "Tingting" comes from Luo Ye's "Goose" poem, and the goose is Daiyu.
The removed "fragrant jade and green jade" also refers to Lin Daiyu.
Combined with Xiaohong's forced departure from Yihong Courtyard, Qingwen died after being taken away from Yihong Courtyard, and it can be known that Lin Daiyu's future is also to leave the Jia family and die outside. Both the Funeral Flower Song and the Hibiscus Flower Sign have foreshadowings for this.
Speaking of "Lin Daiyu", the "Dai" takes the meaning of "green". The ancients described women as beautiful, and "eyebrows and sideburns" are the colors of eyebrow hair that young women have. Almost black for "Dai".
"Dai Mei" is an apt word to describe Lin Daiyu. Jia Baoyu gave her the word "颦颦" and extracted the meaning of "sickness is like Xizi sheng three points".
Xi Shi's many misfortunes in life are also a portrayal of Lin Daiyu's fate. Xi Shi entered the Wu Palace as a princess, which was the foreshadowing of Lin Daiyu's future marriage to Xiao Xiang's concubine (imperial princess). Lin Daiyu's "Wumei Yin Xishi" has written this in detail.
From "Dai" to the Yin Dynasty, and then to the story of Xi Shi, Lin Daiyu was portrayed in tears and died of tears.
Lin Daiyu's "Dai" character can be described as extremely appropriate. Not only is it paired with Jia Baoyu's "red", but also because Dai Yu corresponds to green jade, it forms three "tests" for Jia Baoyu.
First, Jia Yuanchun thought that "red fragrant green jade" was not good, and changed it to Yi red and fast green, which Jia Baoyu did not approve of.
Second, Jia Baoyu opposed Jia Yuanchun as a "green jade spring scroll", and was persuaded by Xue Baochao to abandon "green jade" and change it to "green wax spring scroll". It is the proverb of "death and marriage" in the future.
Third, Miao Yu took the "green jade bucket" black Jia Baoyu for his own use and drank tea, which was to give Jia Baoyu the last chance to choose "green jade".
Miao Yu is also the Shadow of Dai Yu. If Jia Baoyu chooses Miaoyu's green jade bucket, it means that he firmly chooses Lin Daiyu.
Miao Yu is the representative of the "divinity" of the people in the Buddhist Gate, and Jia Baoyu's choice of green jade bucket indicates that the fate of the two is difficult to break, and the leading edge can be renewed.
Unfortunately, Jia Baoyu was "not firm" and once again gave up the "green jade", and like the attendant of Shen Ying, he did not dare to accept the worldly "love" at the risk of the world' great disobedience, and failed Lin Daiyu and the Daizhu Fairy.
In summary, although Lin Daiyu is the reincarnation of Daizhu Immortal Grass, she gave up the character represented by "red" and chose the word "Dai" with the meaning of green, which not only indicates her lifelong love affair with Jia Baoyu, but also means that the two have no fate.
Through the story of Xi Shi, the word "Dai" restores the ending of Lin Daiyu's marriage to a princess, which fits the foreshadowing of Xiao Xiang's concubine and the Hibiscus flower sign, interlocking with each other, and dotting the topic in one word.
