Chapter 69 Cao Xueqin Jiu

The principles of heaven have gone to one extreme, but emotion, desire, and sex have to go to another extreme.This is the tension of history itself. Thinking about Cao Xueqin's Ruan Jie style character, sentimental and rebellious, he will go to extremes.Only those who go to the darkness on the same road can see the birds throwing themselves into the forest, "The land is so clean after falling into a white expanse." A writer's good method is to penetrate into the depths of human nature.If the insertion is not deep, he will make some comprehensive platters, claiming that he expresses the times...

Baoyu was born with jade, and Wang Guowei interpreted that piece of jade as desire.Many desires and troubles in life are tied around the neck.Baoyu threw it many times, hated it again and again, and said that the root of life was Lao Shizi.In the end, he saw through the world of mortals and escaped into the Buddhist gate, which seemed to have solved the problem of desire, from color to emptiness, and all the joys and sorrows in the world finally returned to the purity of Buddhism.I think this is Cao's ecstasy formation.From form to emptiness, both in ancient and modern times, in China and abroad, is an inherent link in the state of existence, only in different degrees.The "Good Song" sung by the lame Taoist said that all "good" in the world will be attributed to "Le".Zhen Shiyin has "sustained wisdom", and he understands it as soon as he hears it. He made an annotation for "The Song of Good" on the spot: "The shabby room was empty, and the bed was full of wats; the decayed grass and poplars were once a singing and dancing venue. Spider silks were full of carved beams... "However, there are not many people in the officialdom and folk who have this "long-lasting wisdom".Cao Xueqin's brilliance is to fix our eyes on the vast snow, to return to the color from the sky, from the end of the big dream to the big dream, to re-evaluate the existence of people, especially the existence of women.He leads us into nothingness, and returns from nothingness to the human world. It is not in vain to go back and forth, and it makes all the links of existence appear.

From form to emptiness, from emptiness to color; from being to nothing, creating something out of nothing: this is the Chinese way of thinking, and it is almost close to what Xi Zhe said: "Man is the placeholder of nothingness." Ordinary writers and thinkers often stop at the link from form to emptiness.Cao Xueqin went further, but this "further" was a return.Self-cultivation, emotional power, and troubles of desire, the three boosters make our top writers. Cao Xueqin's establishment of the value of women is the core idea of ​​​​Cao Xueqin.Qunfang withered, leaving a vast expanse of whiteness. The land is really clean, but there are celery mud and snow buds; "one inch is alone", and there will be growth when there is a sigh.With eyes that bear witness to destruction, good things reappear.Cao Xueqin's outlook on life is worldly and positive.

The white land is so clean...but the color of the dream is red. In the Grand View Garden, there are so many beautiful girls, Jia Baoyu, who is good at lust, often shrinks his hands, why?Because Cao Xueqin's eyes are the eyes to see the beautiful details of women and their tragic fate.In the sixth chapter of the novel, Baoyu has never had such lingering affairs with other girls since she had a "first test of love" with Xiren because of a dream.Not with Daiyu, and it is even more impossible for Baochai Xiangyunfeng.When Qingwen was dying, she regretted that she had not made some affairs with him, which was a waste of her reputation.Cao Xueqin wrote Baoyu in this way, which is both profound and casual.It is casual to say: Cao Xueqin is an out-and-out dual nobleman, and his realm is naturally born in his life.

To this day, men and women are still not equal.The United Nations held a women's conference, and the voice of women's rights was very strong.Cao Xueqin's reminder and demonstration will not become obsolete.When looking at women, you have to see the whole picture, you have to learn to appreciate them delicately, and you have to know how to "love and respect".A word of respect surpasses the so-called pity for fragrance and jade.Respect is not a high profile, but a real yearning. Goethe said: "Wonderful women lead us forward." Men's will to power expands, and women will encounter rough and violent things.There are so many examples that it is too much to talk about.If the boys on the college campus can't tell the difference between Jia Baoyu and Ximen Qing, and he even says to you: Oh, Jia Baoyu is richer than Ximen Qing...that would be terrible.

Since its inception, it has firmly attracted readers on two levels of elegance and secularity.There must be realms and realms, and life must have life. The scale is large, there are many scenes, and all kinds of existence are intertwined, complicated and clear.This is almost a heavenly book, a small universe of its own.A novel creates countless dream worlds and discourse spaces. "At the beginning of Guangxu, the scholar-bureaucrats of the Beijing Dynasty liked to read it, and they regarded themselves as red scholars." During the Jiaqing period, there was a popular saying: "It's useless to read all the poems and books if you don't talk." This situation reminds people of Song Dynasty. Su Shi: "Scholar-bureaucrats can't recite Poe's poems, and they feel angry." The strong inheritance of culture makes the factors of "cultural genes" permeate all levels of society.Cao Xueqin, like Su Dongpo, was able to penetrate all social classes and strongly expand the coverage of elite culture, benefiting the whole nation.Cao Xueqin amazed us again and again: Chinese art is so beautiful!

"The paper is full of absurd words, full of bitter tears. It is said that the author is crazy, who can explain the meaning?" There is a long line of people who relieve the smell, from Xueqin's lifetime to today.Zhiyanzhai, Jihusou, Wang Guowei, Liang Qichao, Cai Yuanpei, Hu Shi, Lu Xun, Mao Dun, Feng Zikai, Wang Kunlun, Wu Enyu, Yu Pingbai, Li Xifan... the list of prominent names is endless.Mr. Wang Chaowen wrote more than 700 pages of "On Sister Feng".It is really difficult to measure how big the resulting discourse space is.The other three classical masterpieces obviously cannot enjoy this honor.The women in the novel sell buns for human flesh if they are not sluts; all beautiful women are written as goblins; Diao Chan, Zhen Shi, and Er Qiao in the novel are victims of politics, objects of power and power, and heroes in troubled times.On the other hand, our Cao Xueqin dedicated more dignity and distinctive personality to the lower class women.

Experts with profound education and high morals have participated in Hongxue one after another, laying a solid foundation for the positioning and dissemination of Hongxue.Opera, film, TV, and comic strips all set loyalty to the original work as the first standard.Before the spoofs started, the boos came first.The red scholars who hide among them are our cultural heroes.It is only through their identification that we can identify them.For example, many readers are somewhat confused about the comparison between the first eighty chapters and the last forty chapters.Red science experts pointed out the following points for us:

1. Cao Xueqin and Gao E have very different values.Baoyu hated the stereotyped essays of Lugui, but Gao E let him become rotten under Daiyu's persuasion. His father was promoted, and he danced and danced.Jia's mansion declined for a while, and "Langui Qifang, family fortune restored." The cannibal feudal society and patriarchal rule repeated cycles. 2. Gao E has never experienced wealth and honor, so his writing is full of flaws. Jia's food and clothing, weddings and funerals, birthday celebrations, and etiquette are not well written. 3. Gao E's language is average.But Cao Xueqin is full of elegance and vulgarity, and all kinds of people in his works speak with his own tone, no matter Jia Mu or Liu Lao Lao Aunt Zhao, Jia Zheng or Jiao Da.Zhi Yanzhai said: "When Qingwen was written, it was Qingwen who came down, and it was definitely not Xiren Ping'er." How could Gao E have such skill?When Daiyu talked about Zhuangzi, it was all pedantic.There are almost no poems in the sequel. Gao E knew his shortcomings and dared not write them.

4. Gao E used the concept of karma to copy the original work, which is very bad.Taiwanese scholar Li Chendong said in "Knowing the Taste of the Red Chamber": "Most of the characters give him a result of retribution: Xue Pan is a rascal, let him marry a Xia Jingui; Xia Jingui is aggressive, let her burn herself; She died after seeing a ghost; Miaoyu was lonely, so she was polluted; Baochai was cold and cold, so she was a widow; will understand." It's troublesome, even Gao E can't "relieve the smell". Gao E also tampered with the characters set in Cao Xueqin's original book.For example, Third Sister You, according to Zhijing’s book in the library of Peking University, Cao Xueqin originally wrote about a pungent woman who challenged stinky men, completely abandoning the concept of chastity, “It was he (Sister You) who prostituted a man, not a man He was obscene." The commentator, Mr. Yang Guanghan pointed out: "Gao E's brain is cold, and he doesn't understand this concept, so he deleted this sentence."

Scholars will not deny the success of the last forty chapters.Otherwise, how could there be Gao E's name in the passbook? It is difficult and difficult to know the taste of Red Mansions. Climbing to the peak of culture is a lot of fun. The Red School has made great contributions, and the Red School has great differences.I am a bystander, benefited from it, but confused a lot.For example, the early red studies were cumbersome due to textual research; some works on red studies from the late 1950s to the early 1980s were rigorous and grand in narrative, but they magnified the concept of class struggle, and there was class struggle in everything.Those that are biased towards artistic analysis are interesting to read; when talking about themes, outlook on life and the world, they are often out of tune.Some commentators even divided the people in Jia's mansion into two factions, one faction representing the exploiting class, and the other faction representing the oppressed and rebels.Judging from what the commentator meant, I really wish that Jia Baoyu would lead a team of guerrillas in the Grand View Garden and lead a women's army.This is obviously absurd.With Cao Xueqin's compassionate heart, how can he raise the butcher's knife to Jia Zheng?Although Lu Xun talked about the Dream of Red Mansions in a few words, he penetrated into it.The mountain is not high, but there are fairy spirits.Lu Xun proved that: words are not enough, but incisiveness is enough.Language has density, existence has insight.Lu Xun did not mention class struggle, but only said that Jiao Da would not consider marrying Sister Lin.Commentators used it to their advantage and wrote many plausible articles. At present, the Suoyin faction is on the rise, and the "prototype theory" is clamoring, and it is dragged to shady novels, introducing vicious struggles for imperial power, entanglement in the palace, and tarnishing Cao Xueqin's clean spirit and longing for democracy. It is really bad. Hongxue has just escaped the shadow of class struggle, and has been eroded by the logic of capital that expands beyond borders. There is still a long way to go for culture and art to become their own, and to become their own basis. One day, the "soft power" of culture will be implemented in a very prominent position, like mountains and rivers, like the sun, moon and stars, like any tangible thing in the world, and it will benefit everyone. Every New Year's Eve, let us silently recite Cao Xueqin.Just like the Dragon Boat Festival chanting Qu Yuan, Qixi chanting Li Yu. 2007.12.20. Changed to Wangyan Zhai in Meishan
