Snowfall at Daguan Tower: Jade Towers Reflecting the Frosty Pool

At dawn's first light, stepping into the garden reveals Daguan Tower's double-eaved roof softened under fresh snow, where vermilion pillars clash dramatically with pristine white drifts in classical aesthetic perfection. Ascending the tower unveils the entire garden transformed into an ink-wash scroll: the frozen Qinfang Creek meanders like a silver ribbon, while snow-capped Taihu rock formations resemble crouching jade qilins. Ice crystals cling to bronze eaves bells, their chimes scattering snowflakes with each breeze, startling two or three crows whose wingbeats shower golden dust in the morning sun. The western window offers the finest spectacle—pushing it open reveals wintersweet blossoms, amber petals cradling crystal snow, their cold fragrance mingling with frost, evoking the imperial lantern-lit snowscape of Yuanchun's homecoming. 🏮 Happy Red Court: Rouge Stains in a Glass World Passing through the moon gate, Happy Red Court's opulence becomes ethereal under snowfall. Crimson lanterns cast rosy glows on snow-drifted walls, like the lingering sunset on Baoyu's snow-dusted cloak. The ancient crabapple tree stands armored in ice, its glittering icicles contrasting with the faded "Happy Red and Swift Green" plaque, whispering of faded glory. Children's laughter erupts—a snowball fight near the east wing, their scarlet woolen caps bobbing like berries, shattered snow spraying like Qingwen's scattered pearl hairpins when she tore her fan. 🌫️ Winter's Cipher: The Dream's Soul in Snowscape Symphony of senses: Footsteps crunching on corridor snow harmonize with pingtan melodies from warm pavilions, when suddenly red wintersweet bursts through Green Lattice Nunnery's wall, fulfilling the chapter "Glass World, White Snow, and Crimson Plum." Time's wrinkles: Bamboos in Bamboo Lodge bow under snow, light filtering through leaves carving seal-script shadows on snow—uncollected verses from Daiyu's poetry draft. Hidden warmth: A tea stall's roasted sweet potato fragrance curls around temple incense smoke, weaving enduring human vitality through winter's chill. "When wintersweet's cold perfume drifts over glazed tiles, and children's laughter shatters crabapple ice—the winter Grand View Garden remains half a lyric Cao Xueqin left to this world, awaiting footsteps in snow to complete its rhyme." Winter Tips: Magic hour: 7:00-9:00 after snowfall, when dawn gilds Daguan Tower's roof and mist rises golden from snow. Essentials: Anti-slip boots for snowy corridors, hand warmers for lingering admiration. Literary pilgrimage: Trace Baoyu's inscribed landmarks with "Dream of the Red Chamber," where Green Lattice Nunnery's wintersweet echoes Chapter 49. 🔱Discover the world's wonders🔱
