#Dream of the Red Chamber Details #The story of Liu Grandma's opening of the river implies the death of Daiyu.

Grandma Liu told a story to the old ladies and ladies in the Rongguo Mansion, saying that on the morning after a heavy snowfall, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl went to her yard to smoke firewood. This girl has a shiny head, and wears a big red jacket and a white silk skirt, which is extremely iconic. It turned out that this was the soul of a young lady in Honjo.

The young lady's name was Mingyu, she knew how to read, and her parents loved her like a treasure, but unfortunately she died of an illness when she was seventeen. Her parents missed their daughter, so they built an ancestral hall, sculpted the statue of Miss Mingyu, and sent someone to burn incense and put it on fire.

Obviously, this story is Liu Grandma's casual nonsense, after all, the look back is "the village grandmother is open and closed".

There is no idle pen in "Dream of the Red Chamber", why did Cao Xueqin spend so much ink to write this absurd story? And on the lookback? It must have something special, right? That's how I understand it.

I think Ming Yu alludes to Daiyu's death.

Ming and the name are homophonous, "Ming Yu" is "ming yu", that is, the name is called "jade", does not refer to Daiyu? Ming Yu is extremely iconic, and Dai Yu is closed to the moon and shy.

Ming Yu died of illness at the age of seventeen, implying that Dai Yu died of illness at the age of seventeen. Ming Yan searched for the ancestral hall of Ming Yu and could not find it, but found a temple dedicated to the plague god, is it an allusion that Dai Yu died of the plague?

For the story of Grandma Liu, Baoyu unusually believes and cares, takes an absurd story seriously, and sends Ming Yan to find Ming Yu's ancestral hall. When the tea smoke did not return, Bao Yu was anxious like ants on a hot pot. From this, we can see the shadow of Baoyu caring for Daiyu.

Dai Yu also jokes about Bao Yu with Ming Yu's story. Baoyu said that it was fun to chant poetry under the snow when it snowed. Dai Yu quipped to him: "It is better to get a bunch of firewood, let's smoke firewood under the snow is more interesting!" ”

It shows that Dai Yu also pays attention to the story of Ming Yu.
