My bleeding heart and tears of desperation drip endlessly like red beans dropping;<\/p>\n

Yet, forever blooming spring willows and flowers are in full view at this picturesque dwelling.<\/p>\n

Tossing and turning after dusk for that storm strikes at the lace-screen window,<\/p>\n

I forget not at all recent and past sorrow.<\/p>\n

Swallowing not delicious rice and fine wine, they choke down my throat;<\/p>\n

Looking into infinity the ornate mirror reflects only my meagerness and despair.<\/p>\n

My frown can\u2019t be unlocked; I endure the long dark night not.<\/p>\n

Ah! It\u2019s just like a green mountain that’s only vaguely veiled in fog,<\/p>\n

Or a meandering emerald stream that can\u2019t be block’d!<\/em><\/strong><\/strong>

\n*The \u2018red bean\u2019, \u7ea2\u8c46 hongdou<\/em>, here really is the jequirity bean, which is produced by the leguminous jequirity plant (Abrus precatorius<\/em>, cf. http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Abrus_precatorius<\/a>) and used often in Chinese poetry as a love token\u2014\u76f8\u601d\u8c46 xiangsi dou<\/em>, the love bean, e.g. \u738b\u7ef4 (701-761) Wang Wei\u2019s poem \u76f8\u601d Xiangsi.<\/p>\n

Xiangsi<\/em> \u76f8\u601d denotes a special yearning for a loved one, from whom the lover is separated. Cao\u2019s \u7ea2\u8c46\u8a5e HongDou Ci (Song of the Red Bean) is from his famed Dream of Red Mansions<\/strong><\/em>. It was written as a poem for the protagonist, \u8d3e\u5b9d\u7389 Jia Baoyu, to sing after he was separated from his lover, \u6797\u9edb\u7389 Lin Daiyu. It appears in Chapter 28 of this classic novel.<\/p>\n
