Some people say that the most cruel beauty in the world is nothing more than the drifting after the splendor, just like a blooming flower, which can not escape the fate of withering in the end, in Cao Xueqin's pen, the falling flowers in "Dream of Red Mansions" are not only a lament of sadness and sorrow, but also a hint of the fate of the characters, and also reflect different people, different attitudes towards life and emotions

"Daiyu Funeral Flowers" can be described as a well-known bridge, everyone pities the falling flowers, and uses the funeral flowers to express sorrow, which seems to be in line with our cognition of the "literary fan", but have you ever thought that in the face of falling flowers, Baoyu's choice is completely different and even criticized by Daiyu for "doing it wrong"?
Baoyu's attitude towards falling flowers is actually hidden in a "flower language" dispute between him and Daiyu, one thinks that falling flowers should return to flowing water, and the other thinks that they should be buried in dust, which seem to be two different ways of dealing with them, but behind them are hidden different understandings of life, emotions, and even their own destiny

The story starts with the falling peach blossom rain by the Qinfang Gate, Baoyu is immersed in the scroll, a gust of spring breeze blows, the pink petals are fluttering, and he is full of books, in the face of this sudden "petal rain", Baoyu's first reaction is to worry that the petals will be trampled
He carefully collected the petals, walked to the water's edge, gently put them into the water, and let the petals drift away with the flowing water

This scene seems poetic, but it has attracted a different opinion from Daiyu, who believes that although the water is clear, it will eventually flow to a turbid place, and the fallen flowers will also be contaminated with filth, and instead of letting them lose their beauty in the drift, it is better to bury them properly, let them turn into spring mud in the soil, and nourish new life
Daiyu's act of burying flowers, in fact, is the projection of her own destiny in the depths of her heart, she has been dead since she was a child, under the fence, full of anxiety and anxiety about the future, in her eyes, the Grand View Garden is like a pure land, and she is like a flower in this garden, destined to experience blooming and withering, rather than losing herself in the wind and rain, it is better to choose a dignified way to end your life journey

Baoyu and Daiyu, one chooses "water burial", the other chooses "burial", it seems to be a different way of treating falling flowers, but in fact it is a collision of two completely different outlooks on life and love, Baoyu is romantic and sympathetic by nature, he regards falling flowers as spiritual life, hoping that they can return to nature and obtain another form of "rebirth", while Daiyu is more sensitive, she will link falling flowers with her own fate, hoping to protect that beauty in a limited time
Some netizens commented that Baoyu's approach is too idealistic, the flowing water in reality is not always clear, and the falling flowers will eventually escape the fate of being polluted, while Daiyu is too pessimistic and traps herself in the cage of fate, unable to see hope and the future

In fact, there is no right or wrong choice between Baoyu and Daiyu, they just stand in their own perspective, use their own way to understand life and love, Baoyu's "water burial" represents his yearning for freedom and beauty, he hopes that love can be like flowing water, not bound by the world, forever pure and warm
Daiyu's "burial" reflects her dedication and protection of love, she understands the cruelty of reality, but still chooses to use her own way to care for that precious emotion, even if it will eventually turn into dust, she must leave the most beautiful posture

The two different choices also hint at the final direction of Bao Dai's love, Baoyu is like a warm flame that wants to melt the coldness in Daiyu's heart, while Daiyu is like an orchid that needs careful care and love, they attract each other, but hurt each other, and finally go to a tragic ending
Some netizens sighed that Bao Dai's love is like the falling peach blossoms, beautiful and short, regrettable, but endless, perhaps, this is the theme that Cao Xueqin wants to express, in the context of that era, even if it is a beautiful love, it is difficult to escape the tricks of fate
Interestingly, this description of Baoyu's funeral flowers has also caused a lot of controversy in the red academic circles, some people believe that this plot is Cao Xueqin's intention, using the metaphor of falling flowers, hinting at the personality differences between Baoyu and Daiyu, as well as the final direction of their love, and some people think that this is just a detailed description of the author's hand, and there is no need to over-interpret
But in any case, Baoyu Funeral Flower and Daiyu Funeral Flower have become classic scenes in "Dream of Red Mansions", leaving a deep impression on readers, these two seemingly simple actions, but they contain rich character emotions and profound ideological connotations, and have also triggered countless interpretations and reflections in later generations
Perhaps, this is the charm of literary works, which can transcend time and space, resonate with readers of different eras, and trigger us to think about eternal themes such as life, love, and destiny, and Baoyu and Daiyu, the young men and women who left their figures in the peach blossom rain, will always live in the hearts of readers and become one of the most moving love legends in classical Chinese literature
