――――A sprig of red apricot that grows over the wall.

Speaking of, Xiangling the girl wanted to learn poetry from Daiyu; before Daiyu took on a hand disciple, she had Xiangling say the poem she liked. Xiangling casually said the two lines by the Song-era 6 Fangweng: "Heavy curtains not rolled keep fragrance long; ancient inkstone slightly concave gathers much ink."

Actually, Xiangling didn't know that the two lines she liked were precisely a portrayal and satire of her own background.

In ancient times, the ladies' quarters kept their pearl curtains tightly shut, hiding in a small building as a whole. They never went out three gates, never stepped out four households; even the fragrance of their boudoir could not escape. One wonders how such a person could still write poetry and curse?

Here I mention 6 Fangweng. I want to say a few more words to you, friend. I really feel a bit embarrassed——

6 Fangweng, also called 6 You, is a great poet of the Song dynasty. People also call him 'Little Taibai', together with the great Tang poet Li Bai Guang (Li Bai, courtesy name Taibai).

Actually, I compare 6 You to 'Little Taibai', and the flavor of hype is very strong. In fact, the style of 6 Fangweng's poetry is not at all like Li Bai's; no matter how you read it, you cannot detect Li Bai's unrestrained flavor.

My speech needs to be based on something. Here I cite one basis as a topic for friends' casual chat——

6 You (that is, the girl studying poetry in Dream of the Red Chamber who calls him 6 Fangweng.), at age twenty he and his cousin Tang Wan happily formed a good bond. This Tang sister is more fortunate than the Lin sister in Dream of the Red Chamber; although the Lin sister loved her older male cousin to death, they had fate but no good fortune. That may be what people often call 'destiny, timing'. The ending of the Lin sister——

Root and lotus share a fragrant path; his life's experiences are truly pitiful. Since the two places produced a lone tree, causing the fragrant soul to return to its homeland.

Direct——

Wind flow graceful clever incurs resentment, longevity and early death often arise from slander, the affectionate lord vainly longs.

But this Tang sister's fate is not much better than that of the Lin sister.

That Tang sister was beautiful, kind, gentle, affectionate; that 6 brother was talented and righteous, and moreover related by marriage (the mother of 6 brother was the aunt of that Tang sister). After the bridal chamber candles, the young couple loved each other, husband and wife followed each other, life was blissful. This young couple could have been happy for a lifetime, but the fact is exactly the opposite.

That Tang sister's aunt, who is now her mother-in-law, picks faults in her daughter-in-law in every which way, looking unpleasant no matter how you look. She uses every means to force her son to divorce.

Under the hard hand of this wicked mother-in-law, this pair of lovebirds was torn apart alive. This is also a great tragedy in life: lovers find it hard to become a family. This was in a very ancient era; nowadays such a life tragedy absolutely cannot occur.

Temporarily divert to another topic——

Because the love tragedy of Tang sister and 6 brother is extremely similar to that of Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzi, please forgive me, friend, I will say a few more lines of the little love song of Jiao and Liu.

Is this going off-topic too much? The excitement is not later………………………………
