Return home like a rainbow
In the third episode of A Dream of Red Mansions, Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu met for the first time, and both of them felt deja vu.
Lin Daiyu met Jia Baoyu for the first time:
I was surprised and thought to myself, "It’s strange, but it seems like I’ve seen it somewhere. How familiar it is!"
While Jia Baoyu directly say:
"I have seen this sister."
Jia Baoyu’s previous life was a waiter in Chixia Palace, and Lin Daiyu’s previous life was a crimson fairy cultivated by crimson fairy grass. The crimson pearl fairy grass was watered by Shen Ying’s waiter to prolong the years. After turning into a crimson pearl fairy, she came to the world to repay the kindness of manna and became Lin Daiyu.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu will feel at home, because they have a "friendship between wood and stone."
"The alliance between wood and stone" is the embodiment of Shen Ying’s waiter’s compassion. Watering the crimson pearl fairy grass is not the job of Shenying waiter. The waiter Shen Ying watered the crimson pearl fairy grass with nectar out of pity. Therefore, the crimson pearl fairy was so grateful to the waiter Shen Ying, and in order to repay the kindness of Ganlu, she came down to earth to "return tears".
However, the reason why Lin Daiyu fell in love with Jia Baoyu is so unforgettable, not only because she wants to "return tears", but also because Jia Baoyu is Lin Daiyu’s confidant.
In the thirty-second episode of A Dream of Red Mansions, Jia Baoyu praised Lin Daiyu for not telling "bullshit" about official career economy in front of Shi Xiangyun and xiren. Lin Daiyu heard that Jia Baoyu praised himself so frankly in front of Shi Xiangyun and xiren, and she had mixed feelings. She decided that she had a good eye and Jia Baoyu was her confidant. Jia Baoyu also regarded Lin Daiyu as his confidant, so he praised Lin Daiyu in a certain tone.
Bao Dai and Bao Dai are bosom friends, not only because they both despise the economic road of official career, but also in many plots in A Dream of Red Mansions.
In the 23rd episode of A Dream of Red Mansions, Jia Baoyu was watching The West Chamber in the Grand View Garden and met Lin Daiyu who was preparing to bury flowers. Lin Daiyu asked Jia Baoyu what books he was reading, but Jia Baoyu said it was just "University" and "The Doctrine of the Mean". As soon as Lin Daiyu heard it, she knew that Jia Baoyu was lying, because Lin Daiyu knew that Jia Baoyu didn’t like reading the Four Books and Five Classics.
Jia Baoyu said to Lin Daiyu after being exposed by Lin Daiyu.
"Good sister, if you, I am not afraid. You read it, at least don’t tell anyone. Really, this is a good book! If you want to see it, you don’t even want to eat rice. "
It can be seen that Jia Baoyu is convinced that Lin Daiyu will like stories of talented people and beautiful women such as The West Chamber.
Sure enough, after reading it, Lin Daiyu felt that "words warn people and the fragrance is full" and said to Jia Baoyu:
"It’s really interesting."
After Jia Baoyu left, Lin Daiyu heard the lyrics in "Peony Pavilion" from Lixiang Courtyard, and was deeply moved.
The love stories in The West Chamber and The Peony Pavilion inspired Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu’s youth consciousness and self-consciousness. The love between Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng, Du Liniang and Liu Mengmei, which broke through feudal ethics, shocked the hearts of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu.
In the feudal aristocratic family with strict ethics, The West Chamber is a forbidden book. According to Xue Baochai’s words, it is a "miscellaneous book" that will make people "move their temperament". In the eyes of feudal defenders, once people are influenced by these books, they are "incurable". Jia Baoyu also knew that he shouldn’t actually peek at these books, so he asked Lin Daiyu not to tell anyone. Jia Baoyu will only read such books with Lin Daiyu and experience the love story in the book together.
Jia Baoyu knows clearly that Lin Daiyu will not educate herself with the principle of "preserving nature and destroying human desires", and will not demand herself with the Confucian values of "self-cultivation, governing the country and leveling the world". So, Jia Baoyu said to Lin Daiyu after being beaten:
"Don’t worry, don’t say such things. I am willing to die for these people. "
Jia Baoyu knows that Lin Daiyu will understand her true nature.
In the thirty-fourth episode of A Dream of Red Mansions, Jia Baoyu asked Qingwen to send Lin Daiyu two handkerchiefs, half new and not old. Qingwen didn’t understand Jia Baoyu’s intention and thought Lin Daiyu would be unhappy. Jia Baoyu said to Qingwen:
"Don’t worry, she naturally knows."
It can be seen that Jia Baoyu firmly believes that Lin Daiyu will understand his mind.
In fact, Jia Baoyu never said "I love you" to Lin Daiyu, only said "Don’t worry". But the word "don’t worry" is worth a thousand words.
After hearing the words "Don’t worry" and getting Jia Baoyu’s handkerchief, Lin Daiyu stopped being swayed by considerations of gain and loss and jealous. She was convinced that she was the only one in Jia Baoyu’s heart and began to treat her feelings with a normal heart.
In the twentieth chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions, Lin Daiyu said to Jia Baoyu:
"I did it for my heart."
What Lin Daiyu values is knowing each other in mind.
Why can Lin Daiyu understand Jia Baoyu’s mind with two handkerchiefs that are half new and not old? Handkerchiefs can be used to wipe tears. Jia Baoyu knows that Lin Daiyu loves to cry, and he will definitely cry for himself after returning to Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Lin Daiyu wiped her tears with Jia Baoyu’s handkerchief, just as Jia Baoyu personally wiped her tears; Handkerchiefs make people think of poems like "and the silk-worms of spring will weave until they die" and "The horizontal silk is also vertical". When Lin Daiyu sees handkerchiefs, she will feel Jia Baoyu’s concern for herself. Two handkerchiefs, such as Bao Dai, symbolize Jia Baoyu’s pure and flawless love.
In the 43rd episode of A Dream of Red Mansions, Jia Baoyu went behind everyone’s back to pay homage to Jin Chuan. The Jia family is celebrating Wang Xifeng’s birthday, and they are very anxious because Jia Baoyu has disappeared. When Jia Baoyu came back, he lied that King Jing’s concubine died and went to the funeral himself.
Jia Baoyu didn’t tell Lin Daiyu that he was going to pay homage to the gold medal, but Lin Daiyu understood very well.
So, Lin Daiyu said in the process of watching the play:
"This Wang Shipeng also impassability, no matter where a sacrifice, must run to the river to do! As the saying goes,’ Seeing things and thinking about people’, the water in the world always comes from the same source. No matter where the water is, you will enjoy it when you take a bowl and watch it cry. "
Lin Daiyu is talking about Jia Baoyu: the form is not important, but the heart is enough. You don’t need to run so far to worry others.
Jia Baoyu did not respond to Lin Daiyu’s remarks at that time, but he got the message from Lin Daiyu.
In the fifty-eighth chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions, Jia Baoyu protected the lotus root officer who was almost punished by Xia Pozi for burning paper, and learned from Fang Guan that the love between lotus root officer, Yi officer and Rui officer transcended gender and life and death, and was deeply moved. At the same time, Jia Baoyu let Fang Guan charge lotus root officer:
"Never burn paper in the future."
Jia Baoyu understood Lin Daiyu’s warning to himself and told Fang Guan:
"If you are sincere, you can feel qualified."
He opposed the burning of paper, "it is necessary to separate different cases, all kinds of cases." In Jia Baoyu’s view, "sincerity" is the key to paying homage. It can be seen that Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu are both opposed to formality, and both advocate sincerity and spirit.
Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu are both sensitive and soft-hearted, full of poetry and have a strong perceptual knowledge of the tragedy of life. This personality makes them have a keen feeling of the passage of time and natural circulation beyond the average person.
After hearing Lin Daiyu’s singing, "I don’t know who he is when he buries flowers today" and "no sad songs for me, I don’t know who it is when flowers fall and people die", Jia Baoyu was deeply touched, and he felt very helpless about the impermanence of life, prosperity and beauty, and had the idea of "escaping from the dust net". It can be said that it was the sentimental Lin Daiyu who inspired Jia Baoyu’s birth thought.
In the fifty-eighth chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions, Jia Baoyu saw an apricot tree with "shady leaves and full branches", and he associated it with the marriage of Xing Xiuyan and Xue Ke, and he felt regret in his heart. He saw a sparrow crowing on the branch again, and his heart surged with the feeling of cherishing spring and hurting spring, and even felt sorry for Gongye Chang’s absence.
In order to give the fallen flowers a clean end-result, Lin Daiyu put them in silk bags and buried them in the soil. It is her spiritual pursuit to "clean the quality". Her love for nature and cherish of youth prompted Lin Daiyu to bury flowers. Jia Baoyu is sad that the apricot blossoms are dying, and his youth is fleeting. When he goes to Qiu Lai in spring, the birds are crying. Both Bao Dai and Bao Dai are compassionate people, and both have the feelings of harmony between people and nature and the consciousness of unity between man and nature. Their hearts are full of love, love for a better life, and this love transcends rank and species.
In the seventieth chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions, after Jia Baoyu read Peach Blossom Row:
"I don’t praise it, but I shed tears."
Xue Baoqin said that this poem was written by himself, but Jia Baoyu understood that only Lin Daiyu, who had been in mourning, would "make this mourning sound".
In A Dream of Red Mansions, Jia Baoyu is the most considerate of the inner bitterness of Lin Daiyu whose parents died. In the sixty-seventh chapter, Lin Daiyu saw the local things sent by Xue Pan and felt homesick. Jia Baoyu couldn’t bear to stimulate Lin Daiyu’s sensitive heart, so he deliberately asked questions in the east and west so that Lin Daiyu could divert his attention. This is how Jia Baoyu cares about Lin Daiyu.
According to Zhi Yanzhai’s comment on writing, Cao Xueqin gave Lin Daiyu "love" and Jia Baoyu "love or not". Emotion is the most important nutrient in the lives of Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu.
They are all people in temperament, incompatible with the hypocritical feudal ethics, pursuing the poetry and transcendence of life, and giving the feelings in their hearts the most beautiful feelings in the world and the beauty of life. The love between them is based on common thoughts and tacit understanding. This love transcends secularism and utilitarianism, transcends lust, and is the fit of noble hearts.
Talking about love is one of the main themes of A Dream of Red Mansions, and Cao Xueqin’s love ideal is best interpreted by Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu.
The love between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu is pure, beautiful and intimate. This love, even if it becomes a moon in the water and a flower in the mirror, also has eternal value.
