How did Lin Daiyu die?

In the last forty chapters of A Dream of Red Mansions, many people thought that the description of Lin Daiyu's death was too hasty and incomplete, and there were also many doubts. In the book, Lin Daiyu obviously died of illness. When she was ill, she learned the news of Baoyu's marriage and died in one breath. Over the years, there have been many stories about the death of Lin Daiyu, and redologists have also gathered together. Some people say that she died in the water, some people say that she hanged herself, and some people say that she was murdered ... We collected various stories about it and shared them with readers ... Daiyu died of lovesickness and was falsely accused of "paying her debts with tears". Daiyu was falsely accused of having nothing to do with Jia Xuan's daughter-in-law. Because the "golden jade marriage" only happened after Daiyu's death. This can be seen from the "hidden pulse" in the first 80 chapters: after "burying incense, flying swallows cry to death", "Xue Baochai is ashamed to cage red musk deer strings", which means that Yuan Chun contributed to the "golden marriage" after Daiyu's death. A Dream of Red Mansions focuses on Life Mistakes, saying that "all roads are rich, and I only read the alliance of wood and stone", and it is also clear that the alliance of wood and stone is in the front, and the friendship between gold and jade is behind. The song "Can't Curse Eyebrows" written by Daiyu only said that Baoyu was forced to leave home, and that the lovesickness between Baochai and Daiyu eventually led to Daiyu's death of "paying off debts with tears" and "proving the front", without mentioning Baochai and "good marriage", precisely because Daiyu's death had nothing to do with it. Yong Baochai's A Big Mistake in Life is about Bao, Dai and Chai, and the misfortune as a "golden marriage" is related to Baoyu's obsession with Daiyu. Jia Mu is not the destroyer of Baodai's love, but the protector. According to some superficial phenomena in the first eighty chapters, some researchers concluded that after the eighty chapters of Xue Qin's original work, there was still a plot that Jia Mu abandoned wearing firewood, which was superficial and totally untenable. For example, in Article 22, Jia Mu specially made Baochai's birthday. It seems that Jia Mu likes Baochai but doesn't like Daiyu's Fu Xian, but this time a fat critic clearly said, "... the strangest person, Daiyu is the favorite of Jia Mu, but she doesn't smell it as a birthday, but she deliberately stays with Baochai. It's incredible. This book uses this method to hide too many rare characters throughout, so it is true that the cloud does not write. " It can be seen that Jia Mu's writing of Baochai's birthday is a surprise in writing method, but it is "replacing the text with the text" and has nothing to do with the future "golden marriage". Does it mean that "Daiyu is the doting person of Grandmother Jia"? It is precisely because the birthday of "Spoiler" is not written positively that it is an "unexpected article". Another example is that Baoyu once asked the old lady to praise Daiyu, but instead he praised Baochai, which seems to be the basis for the old lady to like firewood and hate wearing it. As everyone knows, there is a deep sense of the world. It is natural for Jia to praise Baochai in front of Aunt Xue. It would be ridiculous and unreasonable if she praised her granddaughter Daiyu instead of Aunt Xue. Others said that Jia Mu broke the cliche and criticized her daughter for falling in love with a man as "ghosts are not ghosts, thieves are not thieves", just to oppose Baodi's love, which is even more far-fetched. As early as the first time, Xue Qin slammed the cliche that "there are thousands of books such as beautiful women and talented people, and one of them has to be involved in prostitution". In the fifty-fourth chapter, the author only reprimanded Jia Mu. This can only show that Qin Xue's deep aversion to "cliche" has nothing to do with Jia Mu's attitude towards Baodai's love. Of course, this passage comes from Jia Mu's mouth, which is also in line with Jia Mu's authoritative position and her well-informed and experienced age and character. As for this book, it says that the old lady asked Bao Qin about his age. Aunt Xue said in her heart that "it means to seek a match with Baoyu", and she said that Baoqin had a family. It seems that the old lady has ruled out the possibility of Baoyu matching Daiyu. I don't know that the author only borrowed Baoqin's "shadow color" here, because Baoqin is the "companion" in the book, not the protagonist (see "Xue Baoqin's Unfortunate Department"). What's more, if Grandmother Jia wants to match the piano for Baoyu without considering smoked jade, hasn't she also considered Baochai? In a word, in the first eighty times, Jia Mu did not object to the "hidden line" of Baodai's love. On the contrary, in the first eighty chapters, it was revealed many times that Jia Mu was the protector of Baodai's love. Later, it was only because of the early death of Jia Mu and all kinds of difficulties that Baodai's love tragedy was caused. On the 25th time, Xifeng joked with Daiyu, "Since you ate our tea, why don't you be our wife?" Hearing this, everyone laughed together. ..... The official smiled and said to Baochai, "Our second aunt has a good sense of humor, which is true." ..... Xifeng said with a smile, "You can't be our daughter-in-law, just think about it." Then she pointed to Baoyu and said, "Do you think our family deserves it? Or is the foundation not worthy? Doesn't look good enough? The furniture doesn't match? Who insulted you? ..... "Jia Xu originally criticized that" the matter of two jade is in the Jia family, that is, people who read and approve books all believe in marriage, and books often talk about it. Why not, sigh? Originally, it was criticized that "the spouses of these two jade, all the people in the Jia family, that is, the viewer and the author, are unquestionable, so there are often such inscriptions". I want to laugh too. "It can be seen that Baodai's match with Jia Fu has been recognized by everyone in Jia Fu. First of all, of course, this was acquiesced by Jia Mu. If the Lady Dowager opposes Baochai's love, how can Xifeng, who is so clever and good at pleasing the Lady Dowager, openly joke about Baochai's love? Li Wan praised Xifeng's "good humor" because Baodai's cooperation was recognized by the government, especially to the old lady's liking, and Xifeng's jokes were very clever and appropriate. Grandmother Jia likes Baochai and praises Li Wan for her quiet personality, but seems to prefer the sharp-tongued and angular personality types of Xifeng and Daiyu. The escort Yuanyang of the Lady Dowager was also difficult to handle, and Qingwen, who came out from the Lady Dowager, dared to laugh and scold, showing a sharp edge. The seventy-eighth time, the old lady said to Mrs. Wang, "But Qingwen, that girl, I think she is very good. Why did she get up like this? I mean, none of these girls can talk as well as he can sew and mend, and only he can be used by Baoyu in the future. " For the attacker chosen by Mrs. Wang, Jia Mu thinks that "I just call him Hulu without mouth" and doesn't like it very much. It is particularly noteworthy that Qingwen is the "shadow" of Daiyu, and the grandmother chose Qingwen to "give it to Baoyu", which was secretly concealing the match between Daiyu and Baoyu in her peach. On the fifty-seventh occasion, Aunt Xue said to Baochai in "Love Words of Kindness and Menstruation Comfort Idiots": "I think your old brother loves him so much that he won't like it again. Why don't you marry your sister Lin? Aren't you afraid of anything? " On the sixty-sixth session, Xing 'er said, in response to the inquiry of the Yu family sisters about Baoyu, "It's just that he did, but he didn't show it. Miss Lin must be the master in the future. " Because teacher Lin is ill, and both of them are still young, they haven't reached this point yet. In another three or two years, as long as the old lady opens her mouth, it will no longer be allowed. These descriptions only show that the match between Baochai and Daiyu has been recognized by Jia and others, so they are often mentioned as "to pave the way for" whether there is someone else "and" how to worry in the end ". Baochai has nothing to do with the tragedy caused by Baodai's love. Judging from Baochai's character written in the previous eighty chapters, Daiyu is still alive, and she will never agree to be engaged to Baoyu. Baochai is by no means a traitor who occupies her nest like Cheng Shu, and she is not a hypocrite who "wants to ascend the throne of Grandma Bao". On the contrary, Baochai is a "crystal snow in the mountains" with a high personality (this does not affect that she is one of the representatives of feudalism). Therefore, when she learned that Baoyu still loved Daiyu after marriage, she was able to become a "noble scholar" in Baoyu's "Qi Mei case" and fulfilled Baoyu's character.
