In Dream of Red Mansions, the author Cao Xueqin uses profound and philosophical poems to show the rich emotions and profound outlook on life behind the work.
At the beginning, "Self-titled Unique" is like a key to open the mysterious treasure box, revealing the unique temperament and emotional tone of the whole **: "The paper is full of absurd words, and a handful of bitter tears." Duyun is an idiot, who understands the taste? These four lines of poetry are a true portrayal of Cao Xueqin's own creative state of mind, and he uses seemingly absurd stories to weave a grand picture of life, which contains countless hardships, hardships and helplessness in life. The "absurd words" and "bitter tears" here are tortuous depictions of the various states of living beings and the changes in the world in the Grand View Garden, and at the same time imply that the rich connotation of the great work "Dream of Red Mansions" is not easy for everyone to understand, and only by deeply appreciating it can we gain insight into its far-reaching significance.
In the current "Okay Song Note", it is a spicy satire and in-depth analysis of the phenomenon of secular pursuit of fame and fortune. "Everyone in the world knows that immortals are good, but they can't forget their fame. Where will the past and the present meet? The barren mound is gone, and the grass is gone. These two poems point directly to the hearts of the people, revealing that no matter ancient or modern, people's persistent pursuit of power and status often ends up in nothingness, and those generals and princes who were once prosperous are just a bunch of barren weeds in the long river of history. In this way, the poet warns the world, reveals the theme of the impermanence of life and wealth like floating clouds, and guides readers to reflect on the true meaning and value of life.
In addition, there is also a popular love poem in "Dream of Red Mansions", which profoundly depicts the intertwined fate and full of twists and turns of the emotional process between Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu: "One is Langyuan Immortal, and the other is beautiful and flawless. If you say that there is no fate, you will meet him again in this life; If it is said that there is a strange fate, how can the mind end up empty? This poem vividly depicts the fateful encounter and love between the two protagonists, whose feelings are deep and pure, but they cannot escape the tragic ending. This kind of life emotion of beautiful things passing away and fate like a dream further deepens the expression of the theme of impermanence in Dream of Red Mansions, and makes readers think more deeply about human nature, destiny and the nature of everything in the world while sighing.
