Chapter 22 Introduction to "Jiangdong Flower Lord"

[2] It is known to many people in China, at least, it is a book that knows this title.Leaving aside who is the author and continuator, the meaning of destiny alone varies according to the readers' eyes: Confucian scholars see "Yi", Taoists see obscenity, wits see lingering, revolutionaries see rowing, gossipers see palace secrets... … [3] Baoyu, who is in front of my eyes, sees many deaths; those who prove to have many loved ones should be in great distress, because there are many unfortunate people in the world.But those who hate people take pleasure in others' misfortune, and in their lifetime, there is little hindrance to having small joys.However, hating people is just a way out for lovers to escape, and it is the same as Bao Yuzhi who finally became a monk.But the thinking at the time of writing is probably the same; even if it is a sequel, it may not be very different from the author's original intention.But it is surprising that he came to worship his father with a gorilla felt cloak.

Now, Chen Junmengshao [4] uses this book as a play on social and family issues, and of course there is nothing he can't do.Although there were several scripts in the past, they were all written for the actors, not for the script.They are all fragments, not enough to see the whole situation. "A Dream of Red Mansions" has a beginning and an end, but it is outdated.This book is the last to come out, everything is melted down, cast into fourteen acts, a big book with more than a hundred chapters, you can see it all at a glance, but the expression is still there; if it is rehearsed, it will certainly be more impressive.I don't know how the script works, but I deeply admire the author's familiarity with the plot and his skill in tailoring.After reading it under the lamp, it is a short quotation.On January 14, 1927, Lu Xun recorded it in Xiamen.

In the Qing Dynasty, the Huayue idiot said in "The Preface to the Dream of Red Mansions": "What is the book? Yu replied: Love letters are also ".Cai Yuanpei said in the book: "The author is very nationalistic, and the book is capable of clarifying the death and exposing the loss."Zhang Weiping of the "Suoyin School" in the Qing Dynasty said in "Guochao Poets Zhenglue II" that it wrote "the family affairs of old friends and pearls", while Wang Mengruan and Shen Ping'an said in ""A Dream of Red Mansions"" that it wrote "The Ancestor of the Qing Dynasty and Dong Xiaowan".
