Lin Daiyu’s famous quotes
1. I was originally made fun of by you, comparing me to an actor.
2. The fragrant nest has been built in March, the swallows in the beams are so ruthless! Although you can peck at the flowers next year, you won’t be able to leave an empty nest without leaving the beams. Three hundred and sixty days a year, the wind, the sword, the frost, the sword force each other. How long can the bright and fresh beauty last? It is hard to find it once it is wandering. Flowers are easy to see when they are in bloom but hard to find when they are gone. I worry about killing the person who buries the flowers in front of the steps. Leaning alone on the flower, I shed my tears secretly, and sprinkled the empty branches with traces of blood. ——Lin Daiyu
3. If you have gold, she will have jade to match you. If she has warm fragrance, don’t you have cold fragrance to match you?
4. Baoyu, if you make trouble again, I will be annoyed.
5. Given the weather today, why did you take off your green-embellished cloak?
6. Flower pavilions are flying all over the sky, and the red silk fragrance is gone. Who will pity it? ——Lin Daiyu
7. It is serious to strangle me. You are dead, how can I live?
8. How can I compare to them? They are nothing but gold and jade. I am just a person of grass and trees!
9. It turns out that you are also a silver wax gun!
10. Once the spring is gone, the beauty will grow old, and the flowers will fall and people will die.
11. I think I’m going to die, so why should I swear in vain! You are only allowed to read and recite, but I am not allowed to read ten lines.
12. The person who buries flowers today is a fool, but I don’t know who he will bury next year.
13. A generation falls in love with the city and chases the waves, Wu Gongkong recalls his son’s family. Follow the example of the girl next door in the east, her hair is white and her gauze is still hanging by the stream. ——Lin Daiyu's "Five Beauties Ode to Xi Shi"
14. Listen to her as soon as she says it, faster than an imperial edict.
