Chapter 13 Chapter 12 Mystery from Chapter 100 to Chapter 108 (2)——The Mystery of "The Second Book of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling"

In the last twenty-eight chapters written by Cao Xueqin, the fate of all the women in the "Jinling Twelve Beauties" will be scanned one by one.Most of them will be covered in Chapters 100 to 108. Who is in the "Jinling Twelve Hairpins"?First of all, it can be determined that it is Xiangling, which was clearly revealed in the fifth chapter.Through the previous discussions, everyone basically reached a consensus that there should be Xue Baoqin.So besides these two women, who are the other ten?When Cao Xueqin arranged the album pages of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling, he still had the concept of hierarchy in it. The focus of the book is to show the rise and fall of the noble family. The twelve beauties are arranged according to the status of these women in the noble family. understandable.Those who are included in the "Jinling Twelve Beauties" must be genuine ladies or daughter-in-laws from the four major families or other sources.Into the "Supplementary Volume"?It must also be Miss Master or Daughter-in-law, but in the noble group, their status is slightly lower than those in the official book.

Some people will say, isn't Xiangling a girl?But don't forget the root of Xiangling.She is the real lady of the eunuch family in Suzhou Township, and her family is regarded as a "noble family" by the local people. From the point of view of her origin, she is not lowly at all.Needless to say, Xue Baoqin, she is a lady from the Xue family of the four major families, so of course she is eligible to enter the sub-registration. Then someone will ask me, do you think Xue Baoqin is ranked second in the sub-volume?I personally don't think so. I think that Ping'er should be ranked second in the supplementary volume.At the beginning, Ping’er was a girl, but as I told you in the previous lecture, in Cao Xueqin’s works, after eighty episodes, she and Wang Xifeng changed hands, and she became Jia Lian’s official wife, so Ping’er was included in the sub-book Qualifications.Why put Pinger in the front?After a comprehensive evaluation, I feel that Ping'er has more roles in the book than Xue Baoqin, and she is often on the cusp of storms. Her fate is very ups and downs. It is an artistic image that Cao Xueqin attaches great importance to and cherishes. About her plot you Now close your eyes and think about it, I have seen a movie, many scenes, unforgettable, I won’t say much here.What I want to emphasize is that through Pinger, Cao Xueqin expressed a very important social and political concept of governing the country, keeping the family in harmony and the world in harmony.

60 Back to the episode at the beginning of Chapter 62, Ping'er was involved in a theft lawsuit in the Grand View Garden, and several interest groups were at odds with each other. When the situation was complicated and chaotic, calm and wise, he investigated Research, optimize the plan, sentence unjustly to prison, exercise power decisively, kill first and play later, and liberate the Liu family, the head chef of the Daguanyuan kitchen, and her daughter Liu Wuer, who were mistaken for thieves. Ping'er returned Qin Xian's house again, avoiding the chaos inside the Grand View Garden and restoring calm to the once out-of-control situation.At this time, Ping'er announced one of her principles of governing the family, which is actually the idea of ​​governing the country. She said: "Turn big things into small things, and small things into nothing, and then you can have a prosperous family. If you can't get any small things, you can ring the bell." It doesn’t make sense for those who beat the drums to mess around.” Of course, isn’t this idea of ​​running a family or a country the best idea?can be discussed.But in any case, Pinger did not do these things randomly, she was thoughtful, and she put forward a theory that does not make a fuss, and this theory is still effective in maintaining stability, and the potential energy of this theory has been released to this day.Of course, Cao Xueqin's texts are good at measuring people and things from different angles.In the fifty-fifth and fifty-sixth chapters, he wrote about Jia Tanchun and Xue Baochai's implementation of the contract responsibility system in the Grand View Garden. Now some commentators have drawn out comments, saying that Cao Xueqin had this kind of mobilization of people's enthusiasm and enthusiasm as early as Cao Xueqin's works. The reform to increase output value has been lamented three times, but Cao Xueqin also wrote about the disadvantages of this "New Deal" from the perspective of the lower-level people in the Grand View Garden, guiding readers to observe and think about social life in an all-round way.

Regarding Ping'er's theory and the development of the situation, he basically has a neutral style of writing. When we look down, we will feel that if you don't make troubles, some people will make troubles. The impact of a powerful irresistible force collapsed, and Ping'er finally faced a tragic fate of being beaten, killed, and sold. In the plot unit from the 100th to the 108th, she will be written In the finale, she was either detained and sold, or was allowed to follow Jia Lian in exile to a place of bitter cold.All in all, Ping'er is a very important character, and I personally think that she should be ranked second in "Jinling Twelve Hairpins".

Then I think the third place is Xue Baoqin.Regarding the discussion of Xue Baoqin, I will put it aside, because there are too many mysteries about Xue Baoqin.Let me tell you first, who is next. I think the next three should be the three sisters of Youshi. These three sisters are Youshi and her two so-called younger sisters in Ningguo Prefecture. These two younger sisters are actually different from Youshi. The two daughters born to her ex-husband brought by a woman she married are the Second Sister You and the Third Sister You. I will not repeat the stories about them. The specific positions in the "Supplementary Book" are not based on age. , and according to the height as an artistic image, You Sanjie ranks fourth, You Erjie ranks fifth, and Youshi ranks sixth.

You Shi should be slightly older than Li Wan.She is the oldest woman on all the albums.In the brochure about the Twelve Beauties of Jinling designed by Cao Xueqin, basically only young women are included, and daughter-in-laws like Youshi, Li Wan, and Wang Xifeng are considered exceptions.In the fifty-ninth chapter, Cao Xueqin elicited Jia Baoyu's "female syllogism" through the little girl Chunyan: "A daughter who is not married is a priceless jewel; when she is married, she will have many bad problems for some reason. The bead has no brilliance, it is a dead bead; no matter how old it is, it is no longer a bead, but fish eyes.” This should be Cao Xueqin’s point of view.You Shi, Li Wan, and Wang Xifeng are probably in the initial stage of changing from precious pearls to dead pearls, and they still retain a little bit of brilliance, so they are still included in the booklet, and those who are older than them are not included in the booklet.In the first 80 chapters, Youshi played a lot of roles. There are two comments from Zhiyanzhai that are pertinent. One says: "Youshi is also talented, and his morals are ten times higher than that of Ah Feng. Unfortunately, he can't advise his husband to manage the family. , the so-called everyone should have their own." Another article also pointed out that she was "too obedient to her husband", and at the same time emphasized that "her kindness and generosity of mind can be superior to Ah Feng's."In the whole book, the only person who can treat Aunt Zhao with consideration and kindness is You Shi alone.The seventy-sixth chapter of You Shi told Jia's mother that she had been married to Jia Zhen for more than ten years and was about forty years old, but she still retained a little girl's tenderness, so she was listed in "The Twelve Beauties of Jinling". "Book", still makes sense.The seventh person, I think, is Xing Xiuyan, a niece of Mrs. Xing who lives in Jia She's room.She has some plots in the book that cannot be underestimated, such as her talking about Miaoyu with Baoyu, which is very important.Although Xing Xiuyan's family is poor, she is a real lady and should be included in the secondary book.

There are also two ladies, Li Wen is the eighth and Li Qi is the ninth.They are the two daughters of Aunt Li Qiong.They, together with Xing Xiuyan and Xue Baoqin, once went to Jia's mansion and entered the Grand View Garden, where they chanted poems, enjoyed plum blossoms, and had dinner together with Jia Baoyu and other ladies who originally lived in the Grand View Garden, and had a wonderful life.These two ladies are also genuine ladies. Although they do not belong to the four major families, they are related by marriage to the four major families. There are two more, one named Xiluan and the other named Sijieer, who ranked tenth and eleventh respectively.These two ladies went with their mother to celebrate Jiamu's birthday when Jiamu was in her eighties.They are all distant descendants of the Jia clan.Mother Jia always liked girls. Some relatives brought girls here when they celebrated their birthdays. Mother Jia immediately took a fancy to these two. Stay in the mansion for a few more days and have fun.For this reason, Jia Mu also issued an order. Jia Mu said that I know that everyone in our house has "a rich heart and two decent eyes". They will think that their families are relatively poor, so they will look down on them. They are treated the same as the ladies in the house.Among the two girls, Xiluan even said innocent and funny things in front of everyone.They will not be random characters, after eighty chapters, they should still be mentioned.

Who is ranked twelfth?It should be Fu Qiufang, remember the name?In the thirty-fifth chapter, Yingyingchao wrote about a young lady from the Fu family. Her elder brother was named Fu Shi. From the homonym, he knew that he was a follower of power. In front of the general judge, such a small official worshiped as a protégé under Jia Zheng's family; Fu Shi In order to use my younger sister as the capital to make a fortune, I will never marry her unless I find a wealthy family. When she was mentioned in the novel, she was already twenty-three years old. Fu Shi originally wanted to marry her to Birong. He would go to a wealthy family with a higher status in the state mansion, but those nobles thought he was poor and ignored him, so he took Jia Baoyu's idea and sent his mother-in-law to the mansion from time to time to greet Jia Baoyu.

Fu Qiufang was about ten years older than Jia Baoyu, and because of this alone, there was absolutely no possibility of marrying him, but Jia Baoyu knew that Fu Qiufang was "also a beautiful lady, and it was often heard that people had good looks and talent. The heart of daydreaming love is very sincere and respectful." Of course, the "love" here is not love. Jia Baoyu cherishes any unpolluted orb-like young women very much. On this point, he is a pan-love By.Cao Xueqin also specifically wrote that the mother-in-law of the Fu family who went to greet Jia Baoyu was "extremely ignorant", but after they left Yihong Courtyard, they had an important conversation. And the examples told by others to prove that Baoyu "looks so confused on the outside, and not appetizing on the outside", but after reading it, readers will feel Baoyu's "loveless" mind-for example, when he sees a swallow, he talks to the swallow When seeing fish in the river, they talk to them; when they see the stars and the moon, they either sigh or murmur--if they have reached a supreme state, then the two women will definitely be in Fu's house when they return to Fu's house. Qiufang mentioned before that Fu Qiufang should be a person with roots of wisdom, and she would "revere and respect Jia Baoyu very sincerely".Cao Xueqin wrote these, ambushing the next Fu Qiufang, and it is definitely not superfluous.In chapters 100 to 108 later, he will write that Fu Shi cruelly took Fu Qiufang to fill a house or be a concubine for the "dead bone" old pervert King Zhongshun, and Fu Qiufang was therefore in When Jia Baoyu was in trouble, he was able to obtain a token for him to return to his hometown, which defeated Jin Rong's obstruction, and Baoyu was able to escape from prison and head south quickly.She was included in the "Jinling Twelve Beauties Supplementary Book" for very good reasons.

Let's go back to Xue Baoqin.Some people discussed with me that Xue Baoqin may not be eligible to be included in the book, because it was written clearly in the fifth chapter that all these books are stored in a poor life department, but Xue Baoqin is not bad. I like it, she has such a perfect image, and she married Mei Hanlin's family again, and became a young mistress in the Hanlin mansion, what a blessing, she has a good life, so she will not be included in any booklet. I think Xue Baoqin is also unlucky.When she came to Jia's house, the family situation was not very good. Aunt Xue introduced her family situation to Jia's mother. The first sentence was "It's a pity that this child is not blessed." Walking around gave her extraordinary vision, but her father had passed away, and her mother had phlegm disease again. In the past, phlegm disease was regarded as an incurable disease, which was equivalent to death.Her brother brought her to the capital to implement the betrothal of her to Mei Hanlin's family. The prospect was good, but in the first eighty chapters, it was not written whether she got married or not, which was a suspense.So now I will tell you that Xue Baoqin is really unfortunate. After eighty chapters, she will write that she was not able to successfully marry into Mei Hanlin's family and become a young mistress in a very prosperous official family.Her subsequent life path was very tortuous and bumpy.

What is the proof?It is written in the book that she is outstanding in poetry, and once competed with Shi Xiangyun for couplet poems, and her skills surpassed all others.We all know that most of Cao Xueqin's poems for each character reveal or reveal their fate, and the poems under Xue Baoqin's name are of course no exception.From the poems she wrote, we can know that her later fate was by no means as beautiful as some people imagined, and she was also a beauty. In the fiftieth chapter, Xue Baoqin wrote a poem chanting red plum blossoms. There are two lines in it: "There is no snow on the sills in the courtyard, and there are sunset clouds on the flowing water and empty mountains".In the fourth episode of the "Official Protection Talisman", there is a sentence of "a good harvest and heavy snow", and in the fifth episode's judgment on the combination of Daiyu and Baochai, there is a saying "the golden hairpin is buried in the snow". The "xue" in it is a homonym of "Xue". Therefore, "Wu Yu Xue" in the first line of these two poems is actually "Wu Yu Xue", which means that all four families of Jia, Shi, Wang and Xue are Being expelled from the noble living space of "Xian Ting Qu Threshold", all members of the Xue family were implicated, and there were no lucky ones left.When Xue Pan first fought with the shrew Xia Jingui, he accidentally beat her to death. The Xia family reported to the officials, and all the four major families were in decline. How could it be the same situation that Feng Yuan could not care about when he killed Feng Yuan?He was imprisoned for strict interrogation, and then Jiajia, Ningrong and Rongfu were raided, and Xue Pan was implicated in many incidents, and he was sentenced to death for adding crimes.Xue Baoqin's older brother, Xue Bian, was not only unable to seek rescue and pardon for his cousin, but was also held accountable, and he was finally freed of his guilt by spending all his money and money.At that time, Xue Baochai died of depression early, and Aunt Xue died of panic after learning of Xue Pan's death crime; and Mei Hanlin's family, like the "Moon School" nobles such as Jinxiang Bo's family and Shenwu General Feng Tang's family, were also pursued by the emperor. How can Xue Baoqin become the daughter-in-law of Mei Hanlin's family? Her brother Xue Biao took her and left the capital to wander south.So in the process of wandering, who did you meet between the "flowing water and empty mountains"? "There are sunsets".The last word of "Wu Yuxue" in the previous sentence is homophonic to "Xue", so the last word in the latter sentence is homophonic to "Xia".Some people may ask: Is this a book mainly about girlfriends and girlfriends, is there a hero in it?There is.Jihusou had a comment saying: "When writing Ni Er, Ziying, Xianglian, and Yuhan's chivalrous essays, each of them has a facsimile portrayal pen." Ni Er, Feng Ziying, Liu Xianglian, and Jiang Yuhan are the "Four Heroes of the Red Chamber". "Separation and reunion are all pre-determined." So, which mobile knight did Xue Baoqin reunite with in Jiangnan?It is worth pondering. In the 70th chapter, the princes and ladies filled in the catkins' poems, and Xue Baoqin filled in one.There are two sentences in it: "Three springs pay for the east wind, and the bright moon and plum blossoms make a dream".what does it mean?I told you many times in the previous lectures that "three springs" refers to three springs, that is, three years, what kind of career in three years?That is, the "Moon faction" wanted to stage a coup and seize the highest power, but was it successful or not? "Fu Dongfeng", the preparation for this business was shattered after three years, and was finally wiped out by "Dongfeng".Because Mei Hanlin belonged to the "Moon Sect" and was dealt with by the emperor, if it was a dream for Xue Baoqin to marry the Mei family, it would have come to nothing.As I mentioned in previous lectures, in Cao Xueqin’s text, the “moon” has a symbolic meaning, and the “plum blossom” is next to the “bright moon.”Xue Baoqin's failure to marry Mei Hanlin's family was predicted by her own poem.There are two sentences after this word that read "Jiangnan and Jiangbei are generally the same, but they are separated from others and hate each other."It was she who traveled from Jiangbei Dianpei to Jiangnan, and found that both the north and the south were controlled by the "Japanese faction" forces loyal to the emperor like King Zhongshun, which made her feel suffocated. She claimed to be a "liren", that is, a person who is in chaos, and only has a heavy family in her heart. Hatred of hatred.Of course, when she wrote this poem, she seemed unintentional. In fact, Cao Xueqin used her own words to predict her future destiny. These stories will all appear in the plot unit from chapters 100 to 108. In the first 80 chapters, 51 chapters of Xue Baoqin appeared in the book, called "Xue Xiaomei's New Nostalgic Poems".Some people read this time very carelessly, and said that I found these poems boring, so I flicked through the pages.Some people don't know the richness and profundity of life.What is called?I think it's "Sister Lin who fell from the world", then "read "West Chamber" together", then "change the plan", and then "burn the manuscript to end the infatuation". From the point of view of analysis, he is impatient, "What's there to study?" is their mantra. Now I will solemnly tell everyone that it must not be summarized as a love novel, and its ideological connotation must not be summarized as anti-feudal. It is a great text, like a vast ocean, containing extremely rich The content of the book can be called a classic, worthy of careful study, and of course more worthy of study.Take the 51st chapter "Xue Xiaomei's New Nostalgic Poems" as an example. Cao Xueqin used such a large space to show that a talented woman wrote ten nostalgic poems in one go. Can it be superfluous and unnecessary?If you don't like to read this part of the text, you don't need to read it, but you should not object to other people's research and discussion.By exploring these ten nostalgic poems, we can know the fate and destination of several characters in the book. They are also important foreshadowing of the storylines after the eighty chapters. It is reflected in one hundred and eight chapters. What is nostalgic poetry?That is, the title of each poem and the content of the poem are related to a historic site.Why did Xue Baoqin write these poems at that time?Because it was the time of the Lantern Festival, lantern riddles had to be made again, so they were all lantern riddle poems, each with a specific answer.But that’s not all, everyone knows that almost all of the poems in it hint at the fate of the characters. In Chapter 22, a series of lantern riddle poems appear, each of which almost hints at the fate of the poet himself. , then these ten poems are no exception.That is to say, every poem has three meanings. First, it writes about a historical site, and then expresses an emotion; The fate of the characters inside.Most of the lantern riddle poems in the twenty-second chapter have announced the answers, but Xue Baoqin's ten poems by Cao Xueqin intentionally say that other people in the book "everyone guessed once, but none of them are correct".He leaves a mystery for the reader to guess. When I talk about the "Disclosure" series, people always warn me that "you can't turn it into a riddle". It's true that you can't turn the whole book into a riddle, but there are riddles in it. The author wrote it carefully and told you that it is a riddle. , then what sin am I doing to guess this riddle?If you don't want to guess, bowing to you is also a way. I am willing to guess. At least I shouldn't be ridiculed and attacked, right?There are also people, like me, who are willing to try to guess and discuss together, and find it very enjoyable and meaningful. If you want to guess, let's guess together.Some people said that if he wrote twelve poems, it would be easier to guess, because the twelve beauties of Jinling can use each poem to match the number of women in the booklet.However, it is ten.All previous researchers have found it a bit strange, why are there ten poems?My personal analysis is this: When Xue Baoqin arrived at Rongguo Mansion and gathered with other sisters in the Grand View Garden, there was a passage in the book that said, "At this time, the Grand View Garden is much more lively than before. Chun, Xichun, Baochai, Daiyu, Xiangyun, Li Wen, Li Qi, Baoqin, Xiuyan, plus Sister Feng and Baoyu, a total of twelve or three."To be precise, there are thirteen, Baoyu is a man, if he is excluded, there are twelve women, twelve people, how could ten poems be used to allude to their fate?My thinking is: according to the previous conventions in the book, Daiyu and Baochai are always combined into one song; in addition, in this story, Li Wen and Li Qi are both the daughters of Aunt Li Wan's widow, and the fate of these two sisters should be are similar, so they can also be written together as one.In this way, it makes sense to use the ten poems written by Xue Baoqin to hint at the fate of the women who were active with her at that time, including herself.In the past, I used to think that some of these ten poems alluded to Jia Yuanchun and some alluded to Qin Keqing. Now I have changed my view, because Jia Yuanchun is in the palace and has nothing to do with Xue Baoqin, and Qin Keqing has nothing to do with her. After death, there is also Miaoyu. Although Miaoyu lives in the Grand View Garden, she does not associate with them. Baoyu has said that Miaoyu is not counted among these people. Therefore, these ten poems should be chanted by one Monuments, another riddle is solved, and the fate of the twelve women in this group of characters is hinted. Below I will reveal the secrets one by one. The first song "Chibi Nostalgia": "The red cliff dust is buried in the water and does not flow, leaving only the name and surname to carry the empty boat. The noisy torch is sad and the wind is cold, and the infinite heroic soul swims in." Recites a tribute to the ancient battlefield of the Chibi War in the Three Kingdoms era .The answer is the rectangular incense burner with a cover in the temple.This kind of incense burner is also known as Fachuan, and its shape is indeed a bit like a boat.What is implied is Wang Xifeng's fate.She was regarded as a heroine, but in the end she was thrown into the river from the boat escorted to Jinling and died. Her "heroic soul" was like the burnt incense paper ingots in the French boat, which turned into ashes and circled endlessly inside. The second song "Jiaozhi Nostalgia": "Bronze cast Jin Yong Zhenji Gang, and the sound spread overseas to the Rong and Qiang. Ma Yuan has made great contributions, and the iron flute has no trouble talking about the ovary." Jiaozhi was an important border town in the Western Han Dynasty.The four lines of poems praise the contributions of generals in the Han Dynasty to guard the border.Its answer is the trumpet, which is the bugle in the army. The ancient bugle is different from the modern one. It is called the iron flute, which is similar to the suona.It alludes to the fate of Tanchun.Exploring Chun Li's family is a very important plot in the first 80 chapters. She was "Zhen Jigang" in the Rongguo Mansion; after the 80th chapter, she married overseas and went to Hefan. . The third song "Zhongshan Nostalgia": "Fame and wealth have never been with you, and you have been ordered out of the world for no reason. The implication is almost unstoppable. Don't blame others for making fun of you." The poem sighs Zhou Zi of the Southern Qi Dynasty. In fact, he was greedy for fame and fortune, and was ridiculed after being seen through.The answer is the monkey played by street performers. What are the characteristics of that monkey?Bald ass, no tail.The monkey performed for a long time and seemed to be very beautiful, but in the end he was ridiculed frequently.So whose final destiny is to be beautiful on the surface, not to accumulate shade, and to die like a bald tail?Think about it, everyone, it should be Li Wan.Li Wan looks very beautiful, but it's a monkey show. The emperor said you are a chaste woman. If you don't destroy you and the whole mansion, let your son win a martial arts exam at the end, and give you an imperial wife, it will actually ruin your life. What's the fun?It's useless to make jokes with others! The fourth song "Huaiyin Nostalgia": "A strong man must guard against bullying by evil dogs. When the three are in position to cover the coffin, don't be contemptuous of the world, and you will know the grace of a meal." It tells the story of Han Xin in the Western Han Dynasty. Huaiyin is Han Xin's birthplace.The poem lamented that Han Xin was later made the king of Qi with great achievements, but he was killed in the end, but don't despise him, because after all, he has repaid the poor mother who gave him food when he was poor.What is the answer?Dog stick.The content of this poem is related to the fate of Yingchun.Whether it is in the album page of the fifth chapter or the song about Jia Yingchun in the twelve songs, Cao Xueqin's writing methods are all written from the perspective of Sun Shaozu. You should be grateful for a bowl of food for you at the most difficult time, not to mention that they have given you so many benefits, but like Zhongshan wolf, you didn't think about the root cause of the day and ravaged Jia Yingchun to death.This poem actually alludes to Jia Yingchun marrying Zhongshan wolf by mistake.The fifth song "Guangling Nostalgia": "The cicadas and crows live in a blink of an eye, and the scenery of the Sui embankment is close. It is only because of the romantic number that it provokes a lot of talk." Guangling refers to Yangzhou, and he sighs that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty opened the Grand Canal It has been criticized by future generations.The answer to the mystery is the white catkins floating in the poplar flowers in spring. Let’s talk about Li Wen and Li Qi together. Because they lived in Rongguo Mansion for a while, they had activities in the Grand View Garden, including Xi Luan in the "Supplementary Volume". The fourth sister and the others, after the collapse of Jia's mansion, although the emperor's blows were not enough to hit them on the head, they would be talked about a lot, and they paid the price of being despised and ridiculed for that short life of pleasure. Since then, their lives can only be spent in bleakness.I have previously argued that this poem alludes to Qin Keqing, and after further research and rethinking, I now make such an interpretation.The sixth song "Peach Leaf Crossing Nostalgia": "Dead grass and idle flowers reflect shallow ponds, and peach branches and leaves are always separated. There are many Liangdong in the Six Dynasties, and Xiaozhaokong hangs on the wall." Wang Xianzhi of the Jin Dynasty once visited Qinhuai River and Qingxi River in Nanjing Say goodbye to my concubine Taoye at the confluent ferry, and that ferry was later called Taoyedu.The poem expresses the emotion of a pair of lovers who are reluctant to leave.The answer is the hand shadow in front of the lamp.Now everyone enjoys too much modern audiovisual technology, such as videos, CDs, TVs, and movies, and forgets the most primitive light and shadow game of human beings——hand shadow play, which is between the lamp and the wall. In various ways, for example, when I do this, a shadow appears on the wall as if a bird is flying, and then again, as if an animal is opening and closing its mouth.Hand shadow play in front of the lamp, I was played by adults at home when I was a child, it is very fun, we should not discard this most primitive light and shadow game.This poem puts Daiyu and Baochai together as a hint.The final ending of Daiyu and Baoyu is that "the peach branches and peach leaves are always separated", and the lovers never get married.Although Baochai later married Baoyu, Baoyu resigned from the cliff and left Rongguo Mansion to become a monk. "Xiao Zhaokong's inscription on the hanging wall" left Baochai with only some images of the past.Although Baoyu was sent back by Zhen Baoyu after he became a monk for the first time, the marriage between Baoyu and Baochai was in the end a vain affair. The seventh song "Nostalgia for the Ancients": "The black water is vast and the throat does not flow, the ice strings are exhausted and the melancholy is in the middle of the melody. In the tomb of Wang Zhaojun who died there after Fan Hou, the poem chants Wang Zhaojun's bitterness and sorrow.What is its answer?This kind of thing is rare now. When carpenters are working, they have to draw lines on wood. Modern line drawing tools are very advanced, and there are many ways. In the past, carpenters must have an ink fountain to draw lines. Passing this way, it is still white, but going over there, after passing through the ink fountain, it will turn black when it comes out, and a flick will draw a line on the wood.The answer to this lantern riddle poem is ink fountain.This poem alludes to Jia Xichun's fate.As I said before, what is Xichun's last image?Black clothes begging for food, dressed in black, holding a bowl, full of sorrow, begging for food as a nun on the street.Therefore, the corresponding character of this poem should be Jia Xichun. The eighth song "Mawei Nostalgia": "Lonely fat stains stained with sweat, tenderness once paid to the east. Just because of the wind and flow traces, the clothes and quilts are still fragrant today." Mawei is Maweipo, the favorite of Xuanzong in Tang Dynasty Concubine Yang Gui, because of the Anshi Rebellion, fled with Xuanzong through Maweipo, the place where the three armies mutinied and had to commit suicide.The poem sings about the death of Concubine Yang Gui.What is its answer?It is a smoked box.It is generally flat and round, with carved holes on it. After putting some spices in it, it can emit fragrance for a long time, and can be placed in quilts and wardrobes.This thing is rare now, but it is not absolutely impossible to find it, and some people are still using it.In the past, I thought that this poem was alluding to Jia Yuanchun, but now I have formed a new view that it should be alluding to Shi Xiangyun.The chanting of the poem can be imagined as Xiangyun drunk and lying on the peony. After a long time, her quilt still has the lingering fragrance of peony. But there may be a deeper meaning to the poem.I agree with Mr. Zhou Ruchang's point of view: Zhiyanzhai is a woman. In real life, she should be a cousin of Cao Xueqin with the surname Li, which is the prototype of Shi Xiangyun in the book. "Lonely fat marks stained with sweat" means that she and Cao Xueqin finally finished this manuscript together. Of course, it is a very lonely labor. No one can understand them, and they don't know what the final fate of this manuscript will be, but she is tireless. Add "fat marks" on it-write comments, not to mention that she still has to edit and copy, it is very hard, and "sweaty", although they have already put "gentle and rich township" into Japan, it is very difficult. It's hard, but they firmly believe that their words—the text and the comments together—are "retained in a romantic way" and will eventually spread to the world. Of course, it will not be written in the novel that Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun co-authored the book, one wrote the manuscript and the other wrote a commentary. As I said before, in order to maintain the ending of the great tragedy, the book will even write that Shi Xiangyun died of freezing and starving at the end, but, It is possible to use a poem like Xue Baoqin to correspond to Shi Xiangyun, and imply that he is the incarnation of Zhiyanzhai in the book.Some people may ask: After all, Zhi Yanzhai is a person outside the main text, can it be used side by side with the people mentioned in the book?Cao Xueqin’s text has the characteristics of juxtaposition of true and false. For example, he wrote his name into the main text in the first chapter. Although there is no Zhiyanzhai in the current version, the Jiaxu version in the ancient version is in the first chapter. When I returned home, I also wrote the name of Zhiyanzhai into the text, saying that although there are many different names in this book, "Zhizhiyanzhai Jiaxu copied and commented, and it is still used." Because it has incorporated too many meanings , there are too many levels to analyze, so for these nostalgic lantern riddle poems in the fifty-first chapter, Cao Xueqin did not tell the answers through the mouths of the characters. He hopes that readers can appreciate them for a long time through intensive reading and careful reading. The ninth song "Pudong Temple Nostalgia": "The little red bone is the cheapest, and it was secretly brought together by force. Although it was hung up by his wife, he has already seduced him to go with him." Pudong Temple is the "Huizhen" written by Yuan Zhen in the Tang Dynasty. The Pujiu Temple in "Records", the place where Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying fell in love at first sight in the story.The text of this poem is relatively vulgar, and it is not about the love scene of the young lady, but the affair between the girl and the servant.The "Xiaohong" in the poem is definitely not Lin Hongyu. In the past, "Xiaohong" was a general term for girls, and it was often used in poems to refer to the girls around Miss.Its answer is the shoehorn—it is hoisted when not in use, and when in use, it lures the back of the shoe to level off.I personally think that this poem corresponds to Xing Xiuyan. Some people will say that this is too bizarre, did Xing Xiuyan elope with someone?Xing Xiuyan did not elope with anyone.Xing Xiuyan is a very self-loving, very moral woman.But what is the name of Xing Xiuyan's girl?Do you remember it?Zhuaner, what is the sound of Zhuaner slightly changed?Pull, pull what?It's a shoehorn.The quality of this seal is not very good-someone will immediately say, you are a real person, if you create a character and design a name in the book, you always say that the quality of the person is not good, why do you have it?I read the text carefully, and I have a basis.In the forty-ninth chapter, it was written "Fenxiangwa cuts fishy and eats mutton". During this process, Ping'er took off the shrimp whisker bracelet on his wrist for the convenience of eating, and it was stolen.Who was the first to be suspected?It wasn't Zhui'er from Yihongyuan. Ping'er went to Yihongyuan to find Sheyue, whispered to her, and told Sheyue, Wang Xifeng and herself, "We only wonder about Miss Xing's girl, who is poor at first. I haven't seen it before, so I picked it up." Zhuan'er's poverty and lack of ambition can be seen at a glance.Of course, it later proved that Zhuan'er was not Zhuan'er who stole the shrimp whisker bracelet. In the plot unit of chapters 100 to 108 written by Cao Xueqin, in addition to the main line of the Jia family's destruction, there will also be multiple sub-lines, depicting the complicated world and human relationships.At this stage of the story, Xing Xiuyan is Xue Biao's wife and Xue Baoqin's sister-in-law. Xue Baoqin was going to marry Mei Hanlin's family, but Mei Hanlin's family was also liquidated by the emperor. Although Xue Baoqin has not yet married, she is also afraid of being implicated. Xue Biao took her to escape to the south of the Yangtze River for a while, Xing Xiuyan had to live alone during that time, her relatives were all attacked by the emperor, and she lived in fear all day. Zhuan'er was originally a person who didn't follow the rules very much. Under such circumstances, he made an appointment to elope with a certain young man who he knew in Jia's mansion, but later sold to another house and then escaped. This cast a shadow on Xing Xiuyan's life. Deeper shades. The last one, the tenth one is called "Plum Blossom View Nostalgia", this one is the most important, after writing and writing, Xue Baoqin wrote about herself.Plum Blossom Temple, like Pudong Temple, is a place mentioned in literary and dramatic works. It is a bit far-fetched to call it a historic site, but broadly speaking, it does not matter if it is a historical site.When Xue Baochai first saw these ten poems by her cousin, she pretended to be clumsy about the last two poems, meaning that there is no historical test, so it is better to write another one. Lin Daiyu smoothed things over, saying that Li Wan supported Dai玉，说确实大家看戏听书都熟悉了，而且原来没有那样的地方，后来人们造出来附会，也是可能的，于是就没让宝琴另写后两首。 这首诗咏的梅花观，是明代戏剧家汤显祖写的里，为女主人公杜丽娘建造的一处道观。对于书里的这群公子小姐来说，也算得一出老戏了。里有一段故事，表现梅花观里来了一个书生，叫柳梦梅，他在那儿拾到了一幅画，画上是一个美女，他就拾画叫画，引出美女杜丽娘的游魂，详情我不细讲了，总而言之，他就爱上了画上这个女子，而且发现这个女子已经死去，就埋在梅花观里，他设法把这个女子从棺木中取了出来，这个女子就恢复如生，他们两个就形成一个好姻缘了。薛宝琴就据此写了这首《梅花观怀古》：“不在梅边在柳边，个中谁拾画婵娟。团圆莫忆春香到，一别西风又一年。”作为灯谜诗，它的谜底是团扇。诗句表面咏叹的是戏里的故事，细一推敲，哎呀，句句都是在暗示薛宝琴她今后的命运啊。注意：“不在梅边在柳边”！当然，这个句子不是曹雪芹生造的，戏词里有这样现成的一句，作者汤显祖写这一句，他是为了说明书中的女主角杜丽娘，到头来要跟柳梦梅结合，因为柳梦梅名字里面既有柳字又有梅字。但是，曹雪芹把这句引在这里，他是什么意思呢？他就是想透露出薛宝琴的归宿，她嫁给姓梅的了吗？她最后是在梅翰林儿子身边享福吗？no.那么她不在姓梅的身边，在姓什么的身边呢？ “不在梅边在柳边”。有一个很重要的角色姓柳，谁啊？柳湘莲。前面我引了薛宝琴咏红梅诗里的句子“流水空山有落霞”，告诉你意思是她漂泊到江南以后，遇上了“落侠”，就是流落在江湖的侠客，我还告诉你书里有“红楼四侠”，四侠里有位就姓柳，到这最后一首怀古灯谜诗，就明确地写出来，薛宝琴到头来是与柳湘莲结合了。那么他们邂逅结合的中介是什么啊？是一幅画，“个中谁拾画婵娟”就是这个意思。 前八十回里有没有跟薛宝琴相关的名画出现过啊？是出现过的。remember?第五十回，写贾母到大观园赏雪景，忽然间山坡上出现了薛宝琴，后头还站着一个丫头小螺，抱着一个梅瓶，非常美丽。众人就赞叹，说这比贾母屋里挂的那个《双艳图》还漂亮。 《双艳图》根据书里交代，是明朝一个大画家仇英仇十洲的作品，在清代那也算是一幅名贵的古画了。贾母当时说，画上的人也没有雪中的宝琴美丽。 八十回后，会写到贾母先死，然后贾家被查抄，在抄家过程当中，贾母房里这一幅《双艳图》，应该是被抄了，但是大家知道，负责抄家的从主要官员到次要官员，到底下这些衙役，都是很贪婪很刁滑的，都会借机中饱私囊。这幅《双艳图》最后就没有能够归到忠顺王府，被人偷出来了。画上画的是美女，“婵娟”，有人立刻想起宋代苏东坡的句子“但愿人长久，千里共婵娟”。说“婵娟”不是说月亮吗？在古代，婵娟既是形容美女也是形容月亮，或者你可以把两个印象合起来，就是像明月一样美丽的女子叫婵娟。 那么《双艳图》怎么会促成了薛宝琴和柳湘莲的姻缘呢？“团圆莫忆春香到，一别西风又一年。”可见这当中有一个丫头起了作用。和“小红”一样，“春香”也是以往对丫头的泛称。那么具体到书里情节流动中出现的那个丫头是谁呢？应该就是小螺。作为薛家的丫头，在四大家族被皇帝治罪的时候，她也会随着薛家遭到打击，她可能跟别的许多丫头仆妇一样，被忠顺王搜罗到忠顺王府里，后来又被忠顺王赏给了府下面的随从。这个随从在查抄贾家的过程当中就私匿了《双艳图》，小螺后来发现了，她当年肯定听说了人们对雪坡上她和薛宝琴的那种赞美，说她们比画上的“双艳”还美，因此这幅画对她具有特别的意义，小螺就把《双艳图》带着逃离了京城，到江南来寻找她原来的女主人薛宝琴，她应该先遇到了柳湘莲。柳湘莲参与“月派”的武装起事，失败以后，隐姓埋名、流落江湖。小螺盘缠用尽，不得已到庙会上去售卖这幅画，被柳湘莲发现，柳湘莲十分欣赏这幅画，却没有银子能买，恰巧薛蝌和宝琴也到那庙会，薛蝌和柳湘莲原来认识，小螺和宝琴互相认出，大家惊呼热衷肠，携画同到私密僻静处畅叙别后种种，算起来，“一别西风又一年”，在曹雪芹笔下，东风都是代表来摧残四大家族的一种力量，西风则喻“月派”，那么现在是东风已经压倒了西风，西风已经销声匿迹了，经历一年的劫难，他们主仆朋友终于重逢。那么这幅《双艳图》就促进了薛宝琴和柳湘莲的结合。薛宝琴和柳湘莲的结合固然有甜蜜的一面，但柳是通缉犯，琴与罪家沾边，他们那以后也只能东躲西藏过一种不安定的流亡生活，薛宝琴到头来也还是属于太虚幻境薄命司册子里的一钗。这些内容应该都在曹雪芹写出的第一百回至一百零八回里呈现。
