A person has the beauty of peony, the holy and elegant state of mind of lotus, the Jing Ya with hibiscus alone out of the water, and the pride of plum blossoms with cold bones.
The formula of Lengxiang Pill reflects Baochai's character.
All four kinds of flowers should be "white", and "white" symbolizes Baochai's noble and arrogant character, while all four kinds of flowers are dedicated to the stamen, which is the essence of a flower, which also shows that Baochai combines the essence of these four kinds of flowers.
Honey and sugar in the prescription are a "sweet" word. "Huangbai decoction" is a word "bitter". This metaphor means that if you want to reach the highest spiritual level, you should not only understand the indifference of the world, but also taste the joys and sorrows of the world.
It is precisely because of Baochai's extraordinary quality and her unique Taoist spirit that "I won't speak until I do my own thing." In order to get the essence of the world, "Lengxiang Pill".
The origin of lengxiang pill
The secret recipe of "Lengxiang Pill" does not appear out of thin air. We can know from Xue Baochai's words in the seventh time in A Dream of Red Mansions: "Later, I lost a monk who specializes in treating nameless diseases. Because I invited him to see it ... I gave him a pack of last medicine as an introduction, which tasted different. He said just take one tablet when committing a crime. Strangely, the effect is better. "
Baochai, Daiyu and Xiangling all had contacts with a monk when they were children. And this lame monk is also well known. Together with the lame Taoist priest, he was busy with the "pre-alliance of wood and stone" between the crimson pearl fairy and the waiter Shen Ying from the beginning, which played an important role in promoting the whole book.
In this way, Baochai was predestined friends with Daiyu and Xiangling, and the owner of this "cold fragrant pill" prescription, the head monk, played a role in bridging the gap between these three women.
