It's a pity to stop working, but it's a pity to praise talents. The jade belt hangs in the forest and is buried in the snow.

It means:

Baochai has a commendable noble character. For such a talented woman, her fate deserves sympathy. The jade belt hangs in the forest, and the golden hairpin buries the snow.

The official judgment in the book is the combination of firewood and clothes, referring to Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai.

Wear a jade belt and a forest-the first three words are pronounced backwards, which is homophonic. The picture in the book is "two dead trees" (double "wood" is "forest"), and a "jade belt" is hung on the wood.

Buried in the snow-"Golden Hairpin Snow" has a dark name. Snow, harmonious Xue, secretly wrote Baochai's understanding of "the ground is so clean when it is white", and Baochai's realm of "fragrance can be cold, and everything in the world can't be cold". Jin Chai means that Baochai is two strands in the end, and Baochai is one strand, that is, Baochai dies alone in the end.

Extended data:

Xue Baochai, one of the heroines in Cao Xueqin's novel A Dream of Red Mansions, is tied with Lin Daiyu as the first of the twelve women in Jinling and the wife of Jia Baoyu.

Good looks, elegant manners and profound knowledge are praised by the Jia family. After Baochai went to Beijing, she lived in pear fragrance court, Jiafu, with her mother, Aunt Xue and her brother Xue Pan, and then moved to a secluded house in the northeast. Because the Dream of Red Mansions was lost in 1980s, it is speculated that after Lin Daiyu's death, Jia Baoyu married Xue Baochai, but they did not grow old together. Jia Baoyu soon saw through the world of mortals and became a monk.

Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai are married, and Jia Fu is not behind. Jia Baoyu was immersed in nostalgia for the good life in the past and mourning for Sister Lin. He couldn't stand the life of "beggars being slandered in an instant" and was very desperate and painful. Baochai loves Baoyu very much, but she still can't know and love Baoyu. Even if she takes Qi Mei as an example, it's hard to say what she wants.
