In "Dream of Red Mansions", Lin Daiyu is a talented and maverick woman. She has a unique personality, a changeable mood, and a unique perspective on life. This story revolves around a very compelling question - why can Lin Daiyu live as a rich man with two or two months of money, and reward people without blinking? Who understands the secret behind her?
The story takes place in Jiafu during the Qianlong period. Lin Daiyu is a talented woman known to everyone in Jiafu, she is smart and assertive, although her status in Jiafu is low, but her talent and wisdom have won everyone's appreciation and love.
Lin Daiyu was born with a talent for poetry, and she was able to express her emotions and opinions in a few short verses. Her poems are full of affection and pathos, and people are often moved by them. People call her "Love Poet Girl" because she always touches people's hearts with the most concise and accurate words.
Lin Daiyu's attitude towards money is quite maverick. She grew up in a wealthy environment in Jiafu, but she didn't pursue much materialism. Instead, she focuses more on emotional and spiritual enrichment. She has a nonchalant attitude towards wealth, believing that money does not bring true happiness, but can make people lose themselves.
Lin Daiyu's attitude towards money is reflected in her moderation of spending. She has few material desires and does not chase luxury and enjoyment. She is Xi to a simple lifestyle and does not need too much food, clothing, shelter and transportation. When she buys clothes and accessories, she often chooses simple and practical styles, not luxury.
However, although she does not pursue luxury and material accumulation, she is appreciated in Jia Mansion for her talent and personality. Her poetic talent gave her a high status in the literary and artistic circles, and many literati were willing to associate with her and ask her to write poems for them. In order to communicate with Lin Daiyu, they often compete to give her a lot of gifts and money.
And Lin Daiyu's attitude towards these gifts is also indifferent and selfless. She never accepted gifts for money, let alone money. She has a bearish attitude towards money, believing that money does not bring true happiness and fulfillment.
Therefore, she casually gave these gifts to those in need to help them through their difficulties. She is Xi using money to help others and enjoy the pleasure of giving, rather than pursuing the satisfaction that comes from acquiring money.
Such attitudes and behaviors were almost incomprehensible in the Jia Mansion at that time. Many people think that Lin Daiyu is wasting money, but there are also some people who see the secret behind Lin Daiyu.
They realized that Lin Daiyu's behavior was not a waste of money, but a dilution of materialism, money, and enjoyment, as well as an emotional and spiritual pursuit. Lin Daiyu uses her talent and wisdom to transform money into help and care for others, and pursues inner satisfaction in her own way.
These people who understood Lin Daiyu's inner secrets, including some servants and favorites in Jiafu, felt a kind of sincerity and kindness in Lin Daiyu. They saw Lin Daiyu's moderation in spending, as well as her generosity and help to others, which made them respect and admire Lin Daiyu.
With the help of Lin Daiyu, some servants in Jiafu gradually found their own way out and developed. She helped a smart and capable servant start a small business that lifted his family out of poverty.
She gave money to a sick servant to give him a chance at treatment and recovery. She also sponsored a young man's education, and after he became an accomplished scholar, he was grateful from the bottom of his heart for Lin Daiyu's help and support.
