According to the symptoms of Daiyu in the book, coughing from winter solstice to the vernal equinox of the following year is a cold season in winter, with serious illness, rosy cheeks, emaciation and insomnia. These symptoms are tuberculosis and tuberculosis. It is not difficult to cure tuberculosis by medicine now, but three hundred years ago, human beings were helpless. Lin Daiyu's parents have a short life span. Maybe Jia Min or Lin Ruhai also suffers from this disease.
Secondly, we speculate that the medicine prepared by monks and Taoists is Yang Rong Pill, that is, health and nourishing, beauty and health preservation. In ancient times, being thin was beautiful, being sick with stones was beautiful, and the story of losing Sim's waist was beautiful, and the waist was bound with feet, so the three-inch golden lotus could not walk steadily. The beauty of Daiyu fully conforms to the aesthetic standards of the ancients. It is difficult for us to understand the beauty of ancient diseases now. Our present beauty is healthy, slim and lively. Aesthetic standards are inconsistent. We can take it for granted that Daiyu's illness will not last long.
Taking medicine is a way of life for ancient aristocratic ladies to preserve their health, which embodies nobility. Just like people who drive luxury cars with designer bags on their backs now. Then the problem is coming. How did Daiyu die? Did you die of illness? Did acacia die of illness? The death of Lin Daiyu is a kind of self-destruction, a despair of love, and a struggle against the hypocrisy and indifference of Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang. Three hundred years ago, Cao Gong could not say such straightforward words, so he had to resort to myth and Daiyu came to pay back his tears. Baodai's love is immortal, and everyone in the Jia family knows it. For their own interests, Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang played Yuanyang and broke up the alliance of wood and stone. Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue clearly know that Baoyu will lose Daiyu, and she will lose her life's interest and happiness or tear them apart alive. Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue are overbearing and willful, and a little kind. As a result, Jia Baoyu later saw the ugly faces of Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue and was unable to resist. In order to get rid of it, he had to run away and become a monk.
