Introduce Lin Daiyu in A Dream of Red Mansions.

Daiyu is the most thoughtful and sober one in the novel. Descartes said, "I think, therefore I am!" " "Of course, the" I "here does not distinguish between men and women, but in fact, there are never many women who really have thoughts. More grandstanding people say that "a beautiful woman has no thoughts, and a thoughtful woman is not beautiful", but to be fair, among thoughtful women, there are more unattractive than beautiful, and we, the "creator", gave all these possibilities to Lin Daiyu in our works.

Throughout A Dream of Red Mansions, the author did not spend too much pen and ink on the description of Lin Daiyu's external beauty. However, it is this casual description that left a very deep and beautiful impression on people. We can know from the opening work "Crimson Pearl Fairy Grass" that "it is human nature to be nourished by the essence of heaven and earth, nourished by nectar, and go away with a hundred herbs." In these words, I realized the extraordinary beauty of "the embodiment of Xiancao". Although the author does not directly describe the beauty of Daiyu, I believe readers have long been interested in this "female Hugh made of fairy grass"! Even Yucun said: "I am a female student, and my manners are the same. Unlike other women, my mother is extraordinary. So it is rare to have this daughter and know that she is the grandson of Fu Rong! "

Let's take a look at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion where Daiyu lives. "As soon as I entered the door, I saw a bamboo road on both sides. The ground was covered with moss and there was a gravel road in the middle." In Twelve Women in Jinling, only Daiyu's residence is accompanied by bamboo. Bamboo, in the traditional culture of China, shows the literati's honest and frank, with solar terms and backbone, and also indicates the greatness of this weak feudal woman. Go into Xiaoxiang Pavilion and have a look. "There are pens and inkstones on the case under the window, and books are all on the bookshelf." Powder fragrance and fat fragrance have been replaced by this room full of ink fragrance and book fragrance. No wonder Mr. Liu said, "This must be the knowledge of that senior brother." "Is it like a young lady's embroidery room? Better than that kind of meticulous study! " Such a Xiaoxiang Pavilion is only suitable for Lin Daiyu, who is extraordinary and free from vulgarity.

When readers first met Daiyu, the author did not directly describe her from head to toe, but skillfully used Xifeng's mouth and Baoyu's eyes to highlight the beauty of Daiyu. When Feng saw her, she said in surprise, "There are such beautiful people in the world! I saw it today! " Although this statement does not directly write about the beauty of Daiyu. But it left a "beautiful" image in the reader's mind, saying "there are such beautiful people!" It leaves people with unlimited imagination.

Let's take a look at the image of Daiyu in Baoyu's eyes:

"The two bends are like a wrinkled cage, and a pair of eyes seem to be happy. The state has two sorrows, and it is sick. Tears a little, breath slightly. Leisure is like a flower shining on the water, action is like a weak willow, the heart is more than enough, and the disease is like a west child winning three points. "

The author intends to associate Lin Daiyu's appearance with the stone, and named her "Pinpin" by Baoyu's mouth, which is even more lovely. A "fairy-like sister" jumped from the page, and Baoyu lost his "psychic Baoyu" because of such a fairy sister. Who doesn't like a woman thrown away in a rage, fresh and refined!

Daiyu's outstanding natural beauty is obvious to all. Similarly, her connotation can not be ignored. Second, Lin Daiyu's personality: suspicious, stingy and angry.

For a long time, people used to evaluate Daiyu by being suspicious, petty, domineering and arrogant.

Look at the eighth time "Exploring Baochai and Daiyu Half Sour";

"Without saying a word, I suddenly heard someone outside say,' Miss Lin is here.' Before the words were finished, Daiyu waddled in. Seeing Baoyu, he said with a smile, "Ouch! I came at a bad time. Baoyu and others got up to sit down. Baochai said with a smile, "What do you mean?" "If I had known he was coming, I wouldn't have come," said Daiyu. . Baochai asked, "What does this mean? Daiyu said,' What do you mean? Come together, no one comes. He came today and I will come tomorrow, which is staggered. Don't people come every day? Not too cold, not too busy. Sister, what's so confusing? "

Guo Baochai, a wealthy businessman, is praised by the Jia family for her good looks, gentleness and generosity, which clearly shows Baochai's absolute advantage in marriage, which undoubtedly makes Daiyu's already arrogant heartstrings more tense. So he hurried to pear fragrance court and found Baoyu and Baochai together, which made him unhappy. She instinctively looked for Baoyu to dissuade her, but it's hard to say whether she is a good family or not. She used a more subtle expression to let Baoyu know that she was talking about him. Baochai asked, and her answer can be said to be well-founded. It is said that love is selfish. Don't say that Daiyu is suspicious and stingy. If it were someone else, she would have such a psychological reaction. It is not clear whether she handles it better than her.

Look at the seventeenth time:

Dai-yu poured tea and found nothing around. "I must have taken away that shameful thing," she said with a smile. "Dai jade listened, came and took a look. Sure enough, he asked Baoyu, "Did the man I gave you also give them his wallet?" ? Think about my business tomorrow, no! "

This matter has to start with the "Grand View Garden Examination Questions". Baoyu was able to show his talents, and Jia Zheng's pages came up for fun and untied Baoyu's accessories together to get a reward. Daiyu was very angry when she thought that the purse she gave Baoyu had also been taken away. Maybe some people don't understand: fortunately, this is a misunderstanding. Even if it is really taken away by others, Baoyu's accessories are not short of a small purse. Nobody is angry. Daiyu is angry, not because she likes to be angry. In my opinion, a woman who can finally regard her rival as a good sister is not narrow-minded. She can confide in her old friends and sisters, but she never misses a small wallet. There must be a reason for this. Personally, I think it comes down to one word "love". Besides Baoyu, did she give her trinkets to others? No, just Baoyu. Although the purse is not a token of love, we can analyze it according to common sense. It is possible that Daiyu used the purse to test Baoyu. Although the purse is small, it is full of affection. If Baoyu really gives something that Daiyu looks so expensive to others casually, then Daiyu has every reason to be angry, angry with Baoyu and angry with herself. "You don't even care what I send, let alone my people!"

Suspicious and petty, all of which are reflected in the role of Daiyu. However, we can't just look at the surface of the problem, let alone comment on the characters in the classic works with secular eyes. This is not objective to the character analysis itself, but also disrespectful to the author. We say that the analysis of characters should be related to the environment at that time.

Let's take a look at Daiyu's living environment. She is a single woman, smart and lovely, and is the apple of her parents' eye. She used to live a happy life, but after her mother died of illness, the happy life ended. The father thought that his daughter could have a look after her grandmother, and even if Daiyu didn't want to go, she still arranged for her to live in the unique Jiafu. At an early age, you can imagine the feeling of fear, loneliness and tension when you go out and live under the fence. In addition, Jia Fu is a different official, so be careful. She always asks herself to "pay attention step by step, always care, don't say a word, step by step." Under this kind of pressure, her complex and contradictory character has been formed.

Naive, frank and telling the truth

In such a secretive and secretive Guo Rong mansion, things like "sit quietly and watch the tigers fight", "kill with a knife" and "fail to help the oil bottle" happen every day. Miss Tanchun put it well: "We are flesh and blood. We are all like black-eyed chickens. I hope you eat me and I will eat you. " Under the control of strict hierarchy and paternalism, Daiyu is probably the most representative who can keep a pure heart and a pure heart.

Forty-eighth back to "Muya Kiya Ku Yin Shi":

Xiangling smiled and said, "I'm here, and I'm free. "。 At least it's my luck to teach me to write poetry.' Daiyu said with a smile,' If you want to write poetry, you can worship me as a teacher. Although I don't understand, I probably have the ability to teach you. Xiangling said with a smile, "In that case, I will worship you as a teacher. "。 "You can't be bored," said Daiyu. "What's so difficult that it's worth learning? But starting, bearing, turning, combining, bearing and turning are two pairs, with a flat voice, virtual versus real, and real versus virtual. If there is a strange sentence, it doesn't even make sense. " "

"'You just listen to me. If you really want to learn, I have the Complete Works of King Shaman here. "You should carefully consider his one hundred five-character methods, and then read one hundred seven-character methods of Lao Du ..." "

Xiangling is a lovely girl, but she is playing with ruthless fate. Studying poetry for a period of time is her only sunny life.

Here is a question worthy of scrutiny. Baochai asked Xiangling to accompany her so that Xiangling could see Baochai every day. As we all know, Baochai's talent is not under Daiyu. Why doesn't Xiangling worship Baochai as a teacher?

It turned out to be very simple. When she told Baochai her thoughts excitedly, Baochai not only didn't support her, but threw cold water on her, mocking her as "a long-term success". "You are a fool, plus this, you will become a fool." Xiangling is so obsessed with poetry that even "tea and rice are unintentional and restless" is ridiculous to Baochai. Compared with her, Daiyu's attitude towards Xiangling is amiable and approachable.

Xiangling came to Xiaoxiang Pavilion and told Daiyu her urgent thoughts. Daiyu was sincere at once. She explained the practice and requirements of poetry to Xiangling and lent her collection of poems to Xiangling. "You only see that I chose the red circle. If you don't understand, ask your girl, or see me, I just want to talk to you. " In addition, she patiently corrects Xiangling's exercises, which is called "tireless teaching". Affirm the good points in practice and point out the shortcomings on the spot. Good is good, and bad is bad. She won't say "this is not good, this is not the case" as Baochai commented on Xiangling's poems. Don't be shy, just show him and see what he says. "Daiyu's innocence and transparency are like a clear spring. With such a teacher, Xiangling is of course willing to ask!

Daiyu's talent is obvious in the Grand View Garden. She is a real talented woman, a poetic talented woman. This is related to her family background. Her father has a criminal record and her mother is the daughter of Hou people. Daiyu was an adopted son from an early age and received excellent cultural education. Baoyu, the princess of Yuan Dynasty, was writing a poem, and Baoyu was on the verge of exhaustion. Daiyu just thought of it, so she happily wrote a poem "Apricot Curtain in Sight" for him and handed in her homework. I didn't expect this poem to be the first of four poems written by Baoyu, and won the appreciation of Yuan Fei. Poetry has always accompanied her, and she also used poetry to vent her sadness and anger, and used poetry to express her joy and love. Poetry gives her a unique charm. Without poetry, Daiyu is incomplete. Here, we can still see Daiyu's innocence and frankness from her poems.

The seventy-sixth time, Daiyu and Xiangyun enjoyed the moon in the concave crystal pavilion, and the two girls freely wrote poems on the spot. Immersed in the impulse of creation, she has forgotten her lonely situation. She is in good spirits, and she always smiles first. Xiangyun answered a good poem and sincerely responded, "Well done! Better than mine. " The exaggerated action of "clapping your hands and stamping your feet" is the natural expression of Daiyu's innocent and lovely true feelings. When she absorbed herself in thinking and went all out to tell the good poem "Leng Yue Buries the Soul of Poetry", Xiangyun applauded. Dai Yu also naturally and frankly smiled. "No, how can I overwhelm you? Only for the employment in this sentence. "

In a word, there is nothing false about Daiyu's life. If Guo Baochai, who is deeply loved by everyone and knows how to treat others, is regarded as a smooth representative and a symbol of hypocrisy, then Daiyu is really incarnate!

Kind and sincere.

From the relationship between Daiyu and Baochai, we can understand Daiyu's kindness. Daiyu was hostile to Baochai at first, because they all fell in love with the same man, not to mention "her face is like a silver basin and her eyes are like water apricots;" The lips are not pointed but contain Dan, and the eyebrows are horizontal without drawing. " Sister Bao, she is very attractive, and her talent and appearance are comparable to Daiyu's. In addition, Baochai also has the most taboo "golden lock" of Daiyu, which makes Daiyu wary.

For example, the 29th Golden Kirin Incident:

Grandmother Jia saw a unicorn, which was pure gold, and reached for it. "。 She smiled and said,' I think I saw my child carrying one.' Baochai said with a smile, "Sister Shi has one, smaller than this one." Baoyu said,' I didn't see him coming to our house like this. Tanchun smiled and said, "Sister Bao has a heart and remembers everything." Daiyu sneered, "He has restrictions on other things. Only these people bring her attention. "

There are many such examples. As long as Baoyu, Daiyu and Baochai are together, Daiyu will find opportunities to tease each other, either Baoyu or Baochai. But the relationship between the two women is getting better and better, and even Baoyu is surprised to be as close as a sister. Because of Baochai's little concern for Daiyu, Baochai realized her plan in two steps. The 42nd time in the book, when Daiyu was drinking, she blurted out what was the "beautiful day" in The Peony Pavilion and The West Chamber, which was written by Baochai. She enjoyed interrogating her, which made Daiyu blush and her heart beat. Baochai didn't ask when the time was ripe. She told her slowly, "Who do you think I am? I am also a naughty boy. For example, the Romance of the West Chamber, pipa and hundreds of Yuan people are everywhere. " The clever Baochai discovered their common hobby, which narrowed the distance between them and gradually disintegrated Daiyu's hostility towards her. Then she advised Daiyu in the tone of her elders that "we girls had better not study." Poor Daiyu suddenly felt the warmth of her loved ones. Although she has always been loved by her grandmother in Guo Rong Building, there are too many people around her, and communication with others is not her strong point. It is impossible for Daiyu to get involved in that kind of right and wrong. Besides, Daiyu's surname is Lin, not Jia, and it is hard to hear such warm words from Daiyu on weekdays. Not only that, Baochai also carefully analyzed her illness and seriously provided tonic methods. The kind-hearted Daiyu couldn't help sighing. She said, "It is good that you are kind to others every day, but I am the most caring person. I just think you have a heart that hides traitors. The day before yesterday, you said reading miscellaneous books was not good, and you advised me with those kind words. Thank you very much. It turned out that I was wrong in the past, and now I am really wrong. " , "it's no wonder that cloud girl says hello. I used to see him praise you, but now I'm not used to it. I didn't know until I passed by yesterday. For example, if you say so, I won't let you go again, but you don't mind, but you persuade me that I am wrong. If I hadn't seen it the day before yesterday, I wouldn't have told you this today. "

A few soft words from others and several bird's nests moistened Daiyu's heart, overthrowing her usual views on Baochai, and a candle-like warmth melted the thin ice in her heart. Although they are tired of love and have some friction on weekdays, they later treat Baochai "ten times better than others" and regard Baochai's asking her to "eat fine bird's nest once or twice a day to nourish yin and replenish qi" as Baochai's consideration for her. We are lamenting Daiyu's infatuation, but we appreciate her inner innocence and kindness.

In addition, we can also see her inner kindness from the above poems about Xiangling and her burial of flowers.

The image of Lin Daiyu written by Cao Xueqin is a flesh-and-blood and three-dimensional image. In the article, she is beautiful, fresh and refined; In the article, she is pure and frank, telling the truth, kind and sincere; In the article, she is sometimes suspicious, sometimes narrow-minded and sometimes angry. The author represents perfection in characterization. He has not forgotten that love has always been an eternal theme. Women can be witty without the beauty of sinking fish and falling geese, but they must be without love, especially thoughtful women, who know more about feelings.

Third, Lin Daiyu's love:

The love between Daiyu and Baoyu is a classic love affair in the full text. From the first time they met, they felt extraordinary. A man thought, "that's strange, but it looks like something I've seen there." How familiar. " One laughed. "I've seen this girl before." The feeling of "reunion in the distance" between them is doomed to an earth-shattering love. More importantly, Daiyu's lonely life provides an ideal place and mood for her love. Without the guidance and supervision of parents, Daiyu can get carried away with Baoyu and develop their love relatively freely. This delicate feeling has been pestering them. In the scene 19 of A Quiet Day, we fully felt the deep relationship between Baodai and Daiyu. A pair of children lie face to face in bed and tell the story of the little mouse. Baoyu skillfully praised his beloved little cousin as "the most beautiful young lady", but also "small, weak little mouse" through the mouth of the mouse. Daiyu turned over and stood up, laughing and twisting, so lively that their love was full of innocence.

Baoyu came with a bright lamp in the autumn window on a stormy night. When he left, he just went out in Dai Li's clothes, turned over and came in and asked, "What do you want to eat? Tell me, I'll go back to the old ladies early tomorrow morning. Isn't it clearer than the old ladies? " He often just walks down the steps and then turns over. Several people repeatedly asked, "How many times do you cough at night? How many times do you wake up? " This tedious and repetitive language not only makes Daiyu understand the unusual love contained in it, but also makes readers feel different weight.

The thirty-fourth time, after Qingwen put down Baoyu's old handkerchief, the ice-smart Daiyu immediately understood Baoyu's meaning of sending silk. Some people think that the plot that Baoyu is writing to give a gift to Pa is related to a lyric in "Folk Songs" edited by Feng Menglong in Ming Dynasty. The song says, "Don't write love stories, don't write poems, one person is in charge, the heart is upside down, and the horizontal silk (homophonic" thinking ") is upright. Who knows this! " (1) I personally agree with this explanation. Daiyu understood its meaning and wrote three poems on her handkerchief. The first one is in tears, the second one is in tears, and the third one is still in tears. She wants to water the flower of love with tears.

Regrettably, tears did not save her marriage with Baoyu. Like other works, such a beautiful and holy love was ruthlessly destroyed and finally withered. I think the main reasons for failure come from two aspects. First, the love they yearned for was based on mutual understanding, which contradicted the marriage system in feudal society at that time. "Marriage is a political act, and it is also an opportunity to expand personal power through a new marriage." (Engels' The Origin of Family, Private Ownership and State) Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang deliberately planned a scam, simply marrying Guo Baochai to Baoyu, in order to get in touch with the four blood-related families and help expand their political power. Once it comes to the critical moment to safeguard her own interests, Jia Mu will not hesitate to kill her lifeblood and darling.

On the 25th time, Xi-feng told a joke over tea, and compared Daiyu and Baoyu nakedly: "What do you owe for being a daughter-in-law for our family?" "You see this character is not worthy? Family is not worthy? Does the basic furniture not match? What makes you lose face? " This is clearly from all aspects to open the gap between two people, family background, basic furniture, these methods suddenly make Baodai's love balance out of balance. In the eyes of feudal parents headed by Jia Mu, Dai Yu's talent and knowledge are very valuable. What they need is a suitable match, but this one Dai Yu can't pass.

Secondly, Baoyu is a typical rebellious spirit. As a man with money and leisure in the Grand View Garden, he naturally has a lot of dudes' habits and is deeply branded by the aristocratic landlord class. But compared with Jia Lian and Guo Pan, his temperament is really different. He doesn't follow the right path of studying, being an official, making a career and worshiping his ancestors. On the contrary, it was the "bastard" who attacked those who were keen on fame and fortune and career economy, persuaded him to pay attention to career economy by scolding Bi Baochai and other words, and even made an article to reverse his belief that "the beauty of heaven and earth is only for women and men are just scum". He even resented himself: "Why was he born in Hou's family? Jin Ling Salochi failed me, a dead tree; Mutton wine, like my mud ditch, is rich, which is really poisonous! " These thoughts and behaviors are contrary to feudal orthodoxy, and the thoughts of Daiyu and Baoyu can be said to be in the same strain. She never thought Baoyu was talking nonsense, nor did she say anything Baoyu didn't like to hear. She regards Baoyu as a bosom friend, and their love is also based on this rebellious spirit. Therefore, Jia Mu won't help them. She also hopes that Baoyu can have someone who can lead him on the right path. Obviously, Lin Daiyu is not.

For years, when Daiyu couldn't express her demands, she pointed at the box with a handkerchief, panting and had to close her eyes. Daiyu took the handkerchief, without looking, struggled to stretch out her other hand and tore it trembling. This sad expression was so strong that Daiyu, who was dying, decided not to leave anything of her to the ungrateful Baoyu and the cold world. In the end, she finished her last resistance, and infatuated Daiyu put out the fire of love with great resentment and left sadly.

This is the tragic image of Cao Xueqin's fate, which has many advantages in Daiyu, and the most valuable thing is her frankness and sincerity. Actually, everything is a double-edged sword. From another perspective, advantages can also be disadvantages. It is because of her frankness and directness that she inadvertently offended people; It is because of her frankness that she is destined to be as sleek and sophisticated as Xifeng Wang and Guo Baochai.

Lin Daiyu may be a fairy, but I am out of reach. "Daiyu's tragedy is a tragedy of personality, a tragedy of the times and a tragedy of society. It has great anti-feudal power. Although Miss Lin is dead, her image has formed a precipitation of thoughts and feelings in readers' hearts. The longer the time, the thicker the storage and the greater the charm! Thus, Lin Daiyu became a worldwide name. "

In a word, Cao Xueqin devoted all his love to Daiyu. He neither wrote her perfectly nor exaggerated her shortcomings. I think this may be the reason why all the characters in A Dream of Red Mansions are realistic! Pay attention to Daiyu today and will continue to pay attention to it in the future. Daiyu is real and illusory. She is our ideal. She represents a voice in our hearts, a voice that will always ring in our hearts. If not, how could we meet a Daiyu in a world like A Dream of Red Mansions and find such a way home?
