These are the three major regrets in life mentioned by Zhang Ailing: Begonias have no fragrance, shads are bony, and red buildings have no tails. It means: Although the begonia flowers are beautiful, they have no fragrance; the anchovies are delicious but have too many bones and are not easy to swallow; the novel "Dream of Red Mansions" is well written, but it is not finished. It means that everything in life is likely to be unsatisfactory, which means that things in time are rarely perfect.
Although anchovies are tender and delicious, they are hard to enjoy due to their prickly texture, which is a shame.
Although the begonia flowers are delicate and beautiful, they do not have a charming fragrance, which is a shame.
Zhang Ailing spent the rest of her life accompanying "Dream of Red Mansions" and cherished it deeply. It is a pity that "Dream of Red Mansions" is just a incomplete manuscript. Xue Qin's management was miserable, and after eighty chapters, it was "lost without a manuscript". Even more angry are Gao E and his ilk, who continue to follow the dog's tail and ignore Xue Qin's blood and tears! "Dream of Red Mansions" is not finished yet, isn't it one of life's great regrets! The three kinds of hatred are the long-lasting regrets.
Extended information:
There is such a legend that the Jade Girl from the sky asked for a pot of crabapples from Chang'e, but the crabapples belonged to the Queen Mother. When the Jade Girl left, He happened to bump into the Queen Mother who was coming to Guanghan Palace. So, the Queen Mother was angry, pounded the medicine pestle, and the jade girl was knocked down from the mortal world, along with the pot of Begonia flowers.
Later, crabapples began to be planted in the world, but the fragrant soul of crabapples dispersed with the wind. How many years have passed, but the legend that Begonia originally had a heavenly fragrance has been circulating in the world, but this is just a legend. After a long time, people became relieved: Begonia has no fragrance.
Begonia flower, also known as the "heart-broken flower", was used by Emperor Ming to symbolize the drunkenness of the imperial concubine. Little did he know that the words turned out to be a prophecy. Their love was fruitless and their hatred was heart-breaking. Begonia has no fragrance, which makes many people sigh. The pistil is three-thirds white, and the plum blossom has a ray of soul. Begonia, if you are fragrant, what will it be like? I don't know, but I just fell in love with this fragrant crabapple, just like the love between Emperor Ming and his concubine.
If it is just the love between a king and his concubine, how can it last forever? If it were just singing, dancing, and the warm fragrance of nephrite, it would just add another touch to this prosperous age, adding the smell of fireworks and the fragrance of powder. Flying birds and twigs are all extravagant hopes, just like the demanding fragrance of crabapples, the Emperor Ming and the imperial concubine can only forget each other in the end.
