《了解红楼梦》
林黛玉为什么要葬花？葬花背后又有何意？
🌷Why did Lin Daiyu bury the flowers? What is the meaning behind the act of burying flowers?
🌷林黛玉最怜惜花，觉得花落以后埋在土里最干净，说明她对美有独特的见解。她写了葬花词，以花比喻自己，在《红楼梦》中是最美丽的诗歌之一💘
林黛玉的柔弱并非像一般人说的如此柔弱，以她葬花为例，不要闲来没事而哭泣，以林黛玉的高情商，连世间的金银珠宝都看不上，又怎么会在乎花朵的凋谢🥀，她又何尝不知道花开花落是自然现象。
🌺但是-她的情商太高了，高到了可以通过花儿的凋零联想到女人的命运乃至全人类的命运：一年三百六十天，风刀霜剑严相逼，但花开有时，鲜艳明媚能几时？她想起了自己的身世，想到了未来，想到了残花落尽红颜老，花落人亡两不知。🌷🌷
🌸好比人活在世上就像旅客一般，不过是短短几十载而已。林黛玉放置所有人类的命运无非也是和花开花谢一个道理，于是悲伤得不能自已。😭😭
🌺Lin Daiyu pities the fallen flowers as she feels that burying them in the soil is the cleanest method to send them on their last journey. This shows her unique understanding of beauty. Using flowers as a metaphor for herself, she wrote the “Elegy for Fallen Flowers”, one of the most beautiful poems in “The Dream of Red Mansions”. Lin Daiyu’s tenderness is not the typical kind of weakness most people have. She wasn’t crying without good reason when she buried the flowers. Lin Daiyu, who has an unusually high emotional intelligence, doesn’t even care about earthly jewelry and treasures. So why would she care about withering flowers? Of course, she knew that the cycle of flowers blooming and withering is a natural phenomenon.
🌸However, with her extraordinary emotional intelligence, she managed to associate the fate of women and even the fate of all humanity with the flowers. “Each year for three hundred and sixty days, the cutting wind and biting frost contend.” But, how long can beauty flower fresh and fair? She thought of her own life, fate, and future, and wondered “who will care for the fallen blossom or dead maid”.
🥀We humans are like sojourners in the world, our journey lasts for only a few decades. Likening the fate of all human beings to the cycle of flowers blooming and withering, Lin Daiyu couldn’t help but be sad. However, ordinary people could not understand this kind of sentiment, and instead, jeered at her. It is a great prejudice to misunderstand high emotional intelligence as simply weakness, as many have.
