The meaning of "Wrongly Frowning Over" has always been a controversial topic. Although initially everyone believed it described the love between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, in recent years, more and more people have begun to doubt the correctness of this argument. In fact, according to observations, this song may be describing other characters, such as Chai Dai.

If we delve into this song, we will find that there are many elements related to Chai Dai within it. For example, "The Golden Bond" and "The Sparkling Snow of the Hermit in the Mountains" can both refer to Xue Baochai, while "The Alliance of Wood and Stone" and "The Lonely Immortal in the Outer World" may depict Lin Daiyu's experiences. One of these characters represents a good marriage in the eyes of society, while the other represents a true emotional entanglement.

Many people believe that "Wrongly Frowning Over" depicts Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu because their emotional lines in the novel are extremely complex. Furthermore, Lin Daiyu's predecessor is just the Red Pearl Fairy Grass, which corresponds to the "Fairy Flower of Langyuan" in the song. In addition, Jia Baoyu is also considered to be "Jade Without Flaws" because his jade pendant is regarded as a divine object by people. However, these are only appearances and cannot prove that this song is describing these two characters.

In fact, in "Dream of the Red Chamber", the fate of the Twelve Girls is a very important topic, and "Wrongly Frowning Over" is revealing this topic. If we put it among the other eleven songs, we will find that it is not written for Jia Baoyu to listen to. Because Jia Baoyu is not only male, but also someone who stands outside the events, he is not within the scope of the characters in the song. So, if this song is really describing the love between Baoyu and Daiyu, then its significance is not significant.

In summary, although "Wrongly Frowning Over" has always been a controversial topic, based on some observations and analyses, we can conclude that it is likely describing other characters in the Twelve Girls of Jinling, rather than the emotional story between Baoyu and Daiyu. Although this conclusion may disappoint some people, it does help us better understand the true meaning of this song.
