The reason why you are deeply moved every time you read "Song of Everlasting Regret" is that there is also a gene in your heart that doesn't want to face the morning.
Secondly, this gene suddenly pops up when Qingwen tears up the fan in "Dream of the Red Chamber", and the ancient adage "A thousand gold pieces cannot buy a smile" becomes your inner conflict in the present world. This is a passage in "Dream of the Red Chamber" worth rereading, even multiple times. It delves into the very nuanced aspects of human nature.
Third, "Lidong Pill" is an ancient Chinese patent medicine, somewhat resembling the "Yunnan Baiyao" commonly used today. It contains over ten types of traditional Chinese medicines such as dragon's blood, notoginseng, catechu, and realgar. Lidong Pill is taken with yellow wine, which was a necessity in ordinary households during the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Fourth, the tone of Xiren's speech is always consultative rather than commanding, always making people feel that you are the master, and that you are the one who makes the final decision.
In fact, those who are really good at being deputies will eventually add this sentence: "Is it good for us to do this?"
