In A Dream of Red Mansions, Cao Xueqin often calls Daiyu Xiaoxiang by poems, pavilions and names. For example, Daiyu wrote poems under the pseudonym of Princess Xiaoxiang, which was Cao Xueqin's praise for Daiyu.

So the place where Daiyu lives is called Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

You can feel the origin of Xiaoxiang. Xiaoxiang is two people, both Yao's daughters. The eldest daughter's name is E Huang and the second daughter's name is Nv Ying. Later, both of them married Shun and helped Shun escape from danger many times. Later, Shun traveled south and died in a foreign land. Huang went to look for it and finally died in Xiangjiang River. Xiaoshui is a major tributary of Xiangjiang River, so it is called Xiaoxiang, and the second daughter is also called Xiaoxiang.

Isn't there a piece of bamboo at the entrance of Xiaoxiang Pavilion in a Dream of Red Mansions, and there are also tearful poems stained with spotted bamboo. This is the contrast between Queen E and the British, and it is a compliment to Daiyu's temperament.
