Return home like a rainbow

The names of the characters in A Dream of Red Mansions are carefully designed by Cao Xueqin for the characters in the book. For example, the names of Jia Yuanchun, Jia Yingchun, Jia Tanchun and Jia Xichun imply "original sigh".

The name carefully designed by Cao Xueqin for Lin Daiyu, the heroine of A Dream of Red Mansions, is in line with Lin Daiyu’s own spiritual temperament.

Lin Daiyu’s surname is "Lin", and "Lin" is homophonic for "Ling". Lin Daiyu’s previous life was a "crimson pearl fairy grass" on the bank of Sansheng stone in the west. The crimson pearl fairy grass was extended for a long time under the benefit of the nectar of the waiter Shen Ying, and later cultivated into a female body. The waiter Shen Ying hung up the number in front of the police magic fairy case because of his fiery heart, and then he went down to earth. In order to repay Shen Ying’s waiter’s kindness, the crimson pearl fairy decided to return all her tears to him.

After meeting Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu did shed a lot of tears for Jia Baoyu. Especially in the thirty-fourth time, Lin Daiyu cried her eyes swollen like peaches because Jia Baoyu was beaten. Because of her love for Jia Baoyu, she sobbed and advised Jia Baoyu, "You can change everything from now on." Jia Baoyu said to Lin Daiyu, "Don’t worry, don’t say such things. I am willing to die for these people! " Jia Baoyu will only say such heartfelt words to his confidant Lin Daiyu.

In the third chapter of the Story of the Stone in the preface of Qi, there is a comment: "The tears of crimson pearls do not fall because of hatred, but because of cherishing their stones. It can be seen that cherishing their stones will cherish their people. He doesn’t cherish himself, but can a confidant not do everything possible to cherish it? Therefore, the tears of crimson beads will not be done until death, and there is no bitterness. What’s the complaint about the so-called benevolence? Sad husband! " This persistent and deep feeling, this selfless and unrepentant dedication to the loved one, is a very touching place in Lin Daiyu’s spirit.

However, Lin Daiyu’s lofty and courteous personality, outstanding talents and tireless spirit prove that Lin Daiyu is a woman with spiritual wisdom.

The word "Lin" is composed of two words "wood". Lin Daiyu herself claimed to be a "vegetation". Lin Daiyu’s love for nature is vividly reflected in A Dream of Red Mansions.

In order to make the fallen flower have a clean destination, Lin Daiyu put the fallen flower in a silk bag and buried it in the soil. "Enduring the falling flower and going back and forth" is the embodiment of Lin Daiyu’s compassionate mentality. "Clean the quality" is Lin Daiyu’s spiritual oath. Dust returns to dust and soil returns to the soil is Lin Daiyu’s value pursuit, just as she said to Jia Baoyu, "No foothold is clean".

There is room for swallows to make nests in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, where man and nature are in harmony. The parrot in Xiaoxiang Pavilion will learn from Lin Daiyu’s tone to read the poems in "Buried Flowers", and Lin Daiyu will also teach the parrot to read the poems she wrote, and the spirit of the people and the spirit are well reflected in Lin Daiyu. Lin Daiyu even worried that the herbal gas in the room would disturb the flowers, hoping that the flowers would have a clean environment, which shows that Lin Daiyu loves flowers and cherishes them.

There are thousands of bamboo poles in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion where Lin Daiyu lives. Like the "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest" and others, Lin Daiyu has a natural and pure transcendental spirit and a gentleman’s wind. "Who is lonely and proud? Is it too late to bloom? " It’s Lin Daiyu’s husband and son. Lin Daiyu’s aloof and arrogant personality reflects a unique temperament of being free from vulgarity and out of touch with the world.

The word "Daiyu" is homophonic for "waiting for jade". Jia Baoyu is the "Phoenix" in A Dream of Red Mansions. In the 43rd time, Yuchuan said to him, "Here comes the Phoenix, go in quickly. If you don’t come for a while, it will be reversed. " Jia Baoyu initially wrote the name for Xiaoxiang Pavilion as "You Feng Lai Yi". There is a poem in "There is a Feng Lai Instrument" written by him, "Xiu Yu has just become a reality, so it is appropriate to treat the phoenix".

Lin Daiyu came to "return tears". All her life, she has been waiting for her confidant Jia Baoyu. Even if it is "the moon in the water" and "the flower in the mirror" or "no sad songs for me", she will never complain. This infatuation is touching.

"Dai" means cyan and black. "Daiyu" can refer to dark green jade, that is, "green jade". "Emerald" is another name for bamboo. There is a poem in Chen Tao’s poem "Eleven Bamboo Poems": "Never tire of the green jade gentleman in Dongxi, and the twin phoenixes in the Temple of Heaven sometimes smell it." This poem, like "Showing the jade at the beginning, is worthy of treating the phoenix", is a picture depicting the phoenix and the bamboo forest complement each other.

Bamboo is green, straight, hollow and unyielding, which makes it a symbol of a gentleman’s detached personality. Su Shi has a saying in the poem "Yu Qian monk Lu Yunxuan": "It is better to eat without meat than to live without bamboo. No meat makes people thin, and no bamboo makes people vulgar. " It can be seen that the elegant and quiet environment created by bamboo and the elegant personality of literati are integrated into one.

According to her own statement, the reason why Lin Daiyu chose to live in Xiaoxiang Pavilion is: "I think Xiaoxiang Pavilion is good in my heart, and I love those bamboo sticks with a curved bar hidden, which makes me feel more quiet than anywhere else." It can be seen that what Lin Daiyu appreciates is the quiet environment created by bamboo for Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Jia Baoyu’s couplets for Xiaoxiang Pavilion, "Baoding tea is still green, and the window chess is still cold", also reflects the tranquility of Xiaoxiang Pavilion very well.

Lin Daiyu in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, just like the beauty of she leans in the sunset by a tall bamboo described in Du Fu’s Beauty, feels that "the brook was pure in its mountain source and but away from the mountain its waters darken" have always kept a distance from the common customs in order to maintain their noble and independent personality, living in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, reading, writing poems, caring and crying … savoring a poetic life and chewing their own acacia.

In a word, the name of Lin Daiyu is very consistent with Lin Daiyu’s image of being affectionate, faithful, pure, elegant and refined.
