Chapter 57 Interpretation of "Dream of Red Mansions" from Qin Keqing (2)

In the thirteenth chapter, Qin Keqing's situation has been written. What disease does Qin Keqing suffer from?She has a political disease.Is Zhang Youshi an imperial physician?Zhang Youshi is an imperial physician.Whose imperial physician?He is Hongxi's imperial physician.Before Hong Xi seized power, in the fourth spring after the third spring of Qianlong, before he ascended the throne, he openly established the Seventh Division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.This is what Qianlong said, and Qianlong was about to die of anger. Qianlong said that he established the Seventh Division of the House of Internal Affairs, and the Seventh Division included the Imperial Hospital.It was from there that he sneaked into the capital and obtained secret contact with family member Qin Keqing, so he spoke black words.He said, always after the vernal equinox, you can see the results.That is, after three springs, you can see the results.I didn't expect that "after the three springs go, all the fragrances will be exhausted", I didn't expect "the three springs will compete for the early spring scene", I never expected that after the three springs,

It won't work until the fourth spring.Hongxi is indeed bold and reckless. After Cao Xueqin wrote it, Zhi Yanzhai felt scared.Why does he write about politics?Because he said that he does not interfere with current affairs.The author, Cao Xueqin, really didn't want to write a political novel.In fact, he is not writing political novels.I said so many political factors, just to show the pain of his inner creation.He must go beyond the family's tragic encounters and experiences in political events, and write about the process of the destruction of those young and beautiful women.But he couldn't get rid of that shadow, and he had no reason to get rid of that shadow.He is very painful, so at the beginning, he wanted to predict the ending of this tragedy, how these women were destroyed.They were destroyed by the times, by the family's large destiny structure, by the cruel political and social factors of the times, not by themselves.This is a very important factor in his overall conception.

Therefore, I will now summarize the conclusions from Qin Keqing's interpretation: First of all, after I conducted prototype research, I concluded that the prototype of Qin Keqing was a daughter of the deposed prince Yinreng who was fostered in the Cao family in a confidential manner.After Cao Xueqin finished writing the thirteenth chapter, Zhi Yanzhai said, you have to delete it. After he deleted four or five leaves, he deliberately made a patch, and then put a patch at the end of the eighth chapter, deliberately making you look confused.This is a very painful action for him. Qin Keqing and Yuan Chun are the two main lines that affect the fate of the Jia family.The prototype of Yuan Chun is a sister of Cao Xueqin, who is five or six years older than Qin Keqing.There are many mysteries about Yuanchun. First of all, in the fifth album page, the poem about Yuanchun is unsolvable, and later the song is even more unsolvable.The poem about Yuanchun is like this: "Twenty years to distinguish right from wrong, durian flowers bloom to illuminate the palace; Some people say that she has been in the palace for twenty years, does she dare to tell the emperor's right from wrong?What did she do to die?Every action of the emperor is "yes", there is no "wrong", how can you tell right from wrong?It's too late to compete for favor, so it doesn't make sense.Then "distinguishing right from wrong in the past twenty years", whose right and wrong is she distinguishing?Her prototype, when she was a child, knew that there was a person in the family, who was Qin Keqing's prototype, she felt very strange, she was already sensible.She later entered the palace, and she spent twenty years researching who this person was.In an ancient manuscript, the word "non" in "distinguishing right from wrong in the past twenty years" means "who" and "distinguishing who it is in the past twenty years".Some people later felt that they copied it wrong, it should be "right and wrong", not "who", so they changed it. "Twenty years to find out who it is." In the end, Yuan Chun informed the emperor that the emperor had alluded to it.The emperor in the book condenses Kang, Yong, and Qiang together, so he has Taishanghuang.From Cao Xueqin's life to his death, there was no emperor in the Qing Dynasty.It was Qianlong who later gave up his throne to Jiaqing. He became the Supreme Emperor, and only then did he have the Supreme Emperor. At that time, Cao Xueqin had been dead for many years.But there is the Supreme Emperor in his novels, and he wrote it to compress the emperors of the three dynasties together.This explains his transition from life to art. "Twenty years to identify who it is" means that this prototype explained to Qianlong, "I don't think I should hide it. My family has hidden the flesh and blood of a Yinreng."Because of her informant, and because Qianlong thought that Hongxi's problem had been solved, the emperor pardoned her.Therefore, when they came to inform Jia's family to accept the imperial edict, Jia's mother and others were in a state of panic all day long and were terrified.Everyone still remember that time.What is she afraid of?What the hell is wrong with psychology?I didn't expect it to be a big comedy in the end.The emperor not only pardoned him, but also wrote in the thirteenth chapter that Dai Quan, the chief eunuch in the palace, came to Jia's house to offer sacrifices with a gong and an umbrella.Can it be done without the emperor's permission?Even according to the description in the novel, he couldn't come here without the emperor's permission.It's not that I came here privately, but I came here with gongs and umbrellas.According to the relevant regulations of the Qing Dynasty, eunuchs were not allowed to leave the palace casually.What's the point of this description?It shows that this is a political exchange. "The place where the durian flowers bloom illuminates the palace", this sentence is even more strange. "Liuhua", everyone knows that the court hopes to have many children and grandchildren, and Kangxi's reproductive power is particularly strong. Maybe he gave birth to all the people who should be born in the Qing Dynasty. After the Qing Dynasty, they were all impotent. In Guangxu, there was no any fertility.It became more and more impossible to give birth, and later it became a mess, and Xuantong was unbearable.It is not surprising that pomegranates in the palace hope to have many children and grandchildren.We found out that when Yinreng was the prince, he wrote poems about durian flowers.Moreover, the prototype of Yuanchun was not sent to the emperor, but to the prince.After the prince was abolished, he moved to the emperor's side, which didn't matter in the Qing Dynasty.Because it is believed that women can be possessed by the emperor at will.And there can be chaos between generations.This is more worthy of study. I can't tell whether "Liuhua blooms to illuminate the palace" means that the author's design for the character Yuanchun will be revealed after eighty chapters. Relationship, I don't say that.But you can be suspicious. "Three springs and the early spring scene" means that after she was exempted from the emperor and received the emperor's favor, she lived a very good life in the first spring, and then the first spring was not as good as the first spring. ".Some people say it's not right, it should be "the tiger and the rabbit meet and return in their dreams".The current version is all written "the tiger and the rabbit meet and return in a big dream", and when Gao E wrote the sequel, he wrote that the concubine Yuan died very peacefully, because of eating too much greasy food, phlegm, fat, rich and noble disease, and later because of phlegm , out of breath, dead.Moreover, Gao E nonsense said that the year was the Jiayin year, and spring began on December 18, and the concubine's death date was December 19, which had already passed the Yin month of Mao year, which meant that the year he died was Mao month of Yin year, Yin is a tiger, and Mao is a rabbit, so "the tiger and the rabbit meet and return with a big dream".According to the calendar, Chinese people discuss the genus according to the year, and each year is divided into genus, and each month is not divided into genus.Although there are twelve months, it is not said that January is the month of the rat.The gentleman who calculates the horoscope sometimes does this calculation, but if you check the relevant photo books, you will know that Gao E is also making up nonsense.No matter what, that month was not the moon of the rabbit, nor was it the moon of Mao.In fact, it should be "Hu Si meets", "Si" is a ferocious beast similar to a rhinoceros, and Hu Si encounters a vicious fight, which refers to "Hong Xi's rebellion".And in Twelve Branches, it should actually be Fourteen Branches, but they are all called Twelve Branches. It is clearly stated in the song about Yuanchun that Yuanchun died tragically. She was not very peaceful at all. She ate too much greasy food and gained weight. , Phlegm blocked and died.She died very badly.And in the twenty-two lantern riddles, it is also very clear that "a sound that shocked people, and looked back to the prime minister, it has turned to ashes", it was a sudden violent death, and a tragic death in a place far away from mountains and rivers.Therefore, Yuanchun also has a prototype.Yuan Chun's prototype and Qin Keqing's prototype are very important, and they are two characters that affect the fate of the family.So through my analysis: Qin Keqing suffered from a political disease, and the prototype incident was the "Hongxi Rebellion Case".Both early spring and third spring can be explained smoothly.The prototype of the incident is that Qianlong handled the counter-case quietly and maintained a dignified appearance.Qin Keqing and Yuan Chun are two characters who affect the fate of the Jia family.But I want to say that my research experience is like this, Cao Xueqin really doesn't want to interfere with Shi Shi.He wanted to write a biography for the boudoir, but these beautiful young lives lived in an extremely dangerous political environment. Their destruction was inevitable, and their destruction was inevitable under a large political structure.Therefore, he even expressed an implication, a theme that is so profound: the individual is the hostage of history.In the West, some writers only started to approach this theme in the last century.And Cao Xueqin has already begun to approach such a great human theme so early: the individual is the hostage of history.Bet on this big pattern, you come to recite poems and paint again, you come to lie drunk on peonies, and you come to paint dragons and embroidered phoenixes. No matter how carefree you are, there is a big thing hanging over your life: "Double Hanging Sun" The moon shines on the universe", there is no way.

Eighty chapters later, it is conceivable that what he wrote was "Suddenly, like a building collapsed", which was a great and unavoidable tragedy.The original idea of ​​the destruction of Jia's mansion was that Ningguo's mansion adopted Qin Keqing to cause a catastrophe.This is clearly implied in Chapter 5.In the fifth chapter, there are many words like this, telling us this point again and again, for example, "Family affairs perish, the first crime is Ning", etc. It is said that the Ningguo Mansion caused the great disaster of the Jia family's demise.But we saw it in the first eighty chapters, because he deleted it in the thirteenth chapter, Cao Xueqin adjusted the text.Then, he moved the source of the trouble to Rongguo Mansion.Chapter 75, when You Shi said that she was going to the upper room, several old mothers said: "Don't go, only a few people from the Zhen family came, and there are some things, I don't know if they are doing something confidential.

"Hiding finances for criminal officials' families was the most intolerable thing for the emperor in the Qing Dynasty, and it was a capital crime. In Chapter 75, Cao Xueqin began to write like this. In fact, it was Ningguo Mansion, not Rongguo Mansion, who really got the crime. He carried out The transfer of conception, through the research of the text, we can all come to such a conclusion, which is very interesting. At the time of Gao Exuan, the Jia family was convicted, and Jia Zhen was the worst. He was exiled and not pardoned. At the beginning, he was very strict with Jia Zhen. But Gao E searched and searched, and what he collected and wrote for the royal family was Jia Zhen’s crimes. There are only two crimes, and one is very unreasonable. ", this is about the second sister You. It should be that Jia Lian was convicted, but Jia Lian was fine in the end, but confiscated the property. It is too unreasonable to say that Jia Zhen forced the civilian girl to death. Then he said, "The third sister You killed herself and buried her. It is a very minor crime. Gao E has no choice but to deal with the above-mentioned "the first crime is better", he said nonsense. In fact, Cao Xueqin wrote very hard and very hard. Painful. Because after changing Qin Keqing’s real origin and real cause of death for thirteen episodes, some adjustments had to be made later.

What's more noteworthy is that Cao Xueqin's family has a very close relationship with the deposed prince.In the second round, when Jia Yucun and Leng Zixing were discussing the two mansions of Ning and Rong, Jia Yucun published a theory of alienation that upholds righteousness and evil.Very important, this kind of character actually includes the deposed prince.Jia Yucun said that a man and a woman formed from the struggle between good and evil, and then exhausted, "cannot be a benevolent gentleman at the top, nor can he be fierce and evil at the bottom. It is above tens of thousands of people, and its perverted, absurd and inhuman attitude is also below tens of thousands of people. If born in a rich and noble family, it is the infatuated species; if it is born in a poor family of poetry and books, it is the Yishi Gaoren; even if he was born in a poor family of Bozuo, he must not be a pawn and servant, willing to be controlled by mediocrity, he must be a famous and famous person."Moreover, Jia Yucun cited more than 30 examples in one breath. In this example, several emperors appeared, all of whom were failed emperors: Empress Chen, Tang Minghuang, and Song Huizong. They gave them a high evaluation, thinking that this kind of alien deserves attention.He also classified Jia Baoyu into this category. In fact, Jia Baoyu's prototype had some endowments from Yinreng, the deposed prince.The abandoned prince is worthy of careful study by historians and researchers. His figure does not constitute an artistic image in this book, but he has a projection.

It is a work after the family was involved in the harsh political struggle and destroyed, but it is not a political novel. Cao Xueqin insisted on pursuing a poetic life beyond politics and praising young women in such a humanistic environment with extremely painful and sweet complex emotions. Show the most beautiful factors in human nature, such as Jia Baoyu's qingbuqing, the first "qing" is a verb, "buqing" is a noun, "buqing" refers to something without emotion, and you can't do anything to your feelings. Jia Baoyu can "feel" the things that respond, whether they are people or things. What was revealed in Zhiyanzhai's comments was that there was a love list at the end of Zai.List each character, and each character has a comment.Daiyu's comment is "love", the first "love" is a verb, the second "love" is a noun, and Jia Baoyu is "feeling".He eulogizes the beauty of human nature, but predicts that beautiful things will be destroyed, which arouses readers' deep thinking.About Qin Keqing's exploration, I have basically told you all.

Next, I would like to say a few more words. What do I mean?Although I have personally studied Qin Keqing for more than ten years, I am not afraid that you will say that I am now developing a new branch of "Red Studies", called "Qin Studies". There are too many branches of "Hongxue", including the study of his thought artistry, text research, which is the biggest study; then there is the study of his author, Cao Xueqin, "Cao Xue"; there are various versions of his "study" version Zhiyanzhai's commentary, "Zhixue" appeared in the edition; "Character Theory" of the characters written in Youli, such as Mr. Wang Kunlun wrote "On the Characters of the Dream of Red Mansions"; there are also articles about clothing, utensils Play, Grand View Garden, and Grand View Garden also constitute a branch; the poems and songs in it are another kind of knowledge.One of the archetypal studies, through the investigation of Qin Keqing, I think it can also constitute a branch.I think it is necessary to open up and expand the space of "red studies" among the people.Today, so many interested friends come here, which means that it does not only belong to experts or a certain institution, but belongs to all of us, and it belongs to the people first.Not long ago, I read a book written by Li Fengzuo and Jin Xin called "New Evidence of Cao Xueqin's Family History". Two local people conducted research in their spare time.But I think their research results have reached the level of experts, and they even corrected the mistakes of experts.For example, they study "Cao Xue", they study "Dajin Lama Master Baoji Stele", in this inscription there is a person whose name is "Ao Guan", the surname "Ao" is not unusual, people I know There is a person with the surname "Ao" in it, but some of our experts regard this "Ao official" as "instructor", and think that it is not the name of a person, but the name of a job.These two people corrected the omissions of the experts in their writings, and this stele is now in the local museum, you can go and inspect it.Therefore, folk research should not be underestimated. It is unfair to say that it is a layman, and it is not worth listening to or seeing.I know that some time ago, Mr. Hu Deping also talked about it. Although Mr. Hu Deping has some political identities and titles, as far as the research of "Redology" is concerned, he also entered this field as a fancier and an amateur.He is very supportive of folk "Redology" researchers and "Redology" enthusiasts, I am very moved.Old man Shu Chengxun, who has passed away now, lives in courtyard house No. 39, Zhengbaiqi Village, Xiangshan.There is also a worker, of course retired long ago, called Zhang Xing, who owns two yellow pine bookcases with some engravings and pictures on them.There is also Mr. Kong Xiangze, who once copied a part of the "Wuyizhai Collected Manuscripts" written by Cao Xueqin with the Japanese.You can talk to these people and tell them, I don't think these are true and may be false, but should be equal.Experts and non-experts should communicate on an equal footing and should respect each other.You shouldn't block people at every turn, scold them back, don't do that.I end my speech with this sentence: "Redology" research should be an open space shared by the public.

Question: Hello, Mr. Liu, first of all thank you very much.I have a question. It was mentioned in the twenty-sixth chapter that Feng Ziying came back from Iron Net Mountain and was slapped by a rabbit falcon.As mentioned earlier, Qin Keqing's coffin was also found on Iron Net Mountain.I would like to ask, do you have any opinion on this?One more small question, can you talk about your views on Jia Zhen?Because you wrote in the book that you think Jia Zhen is a handsome man, and you can see your praise in your evaluation of him, please talk about your opinion of him.thanks. Answer: The first question has a clear answer in my book. I didn’t talk about Huanghai Iron Net Mountain today because I don’t know what to do. This is a very important piece of information.It also has geographic archetypes, as well as event archetypes.Including the relationship between Feng Ziying and Qiu Duwei, and the relationship between Feng Ziying and Jia Zhen, these are all worth exploring.

The character of Jia Zhen is indeed worth re-studying.You see that Qingxu Guan is holding a funeral ceremony, and Jia Zhen is the head of the clan.Everyone should know that although Mother Jia has a high seniority, she is a woman.In the Jia mansion, although Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng have higher seniority than Jia Zhen, the patriarch is Jia Zhen.He does have the demeanor of a patriarch, the patriarch of a large family, as I once mentioned in an article.Including the protagonists in our TV series now, there is a certain shadow of Jia Zhen.The depiction of a certain kind of male in a large feudal family in China has become an element of art, and it can also run through to this day.

Question: Teacher Liu, hello.Through your lectures, I have a better understanding of the character Qin Keqing.I want to ask a question. According to your analysis, Qin Keqing came from a miserable background and is the daughter of the deposed prince.If so, how is it possible to keep it secret?After the prince's daughter was born, as a system of the Qing Dynasty, there must be a record. How could he keep this secret?There is another question. I think that in Cao Xueqin's works, Qin Keqing is not a woman with ups and downs and sufferings. Qin Keqing is a lewd woman. Before I heard your speech, I was very disgusted with the character Qin Keqing.I think she's a villain, but how did you bring such a face to her? A: The first question is very good.We must avoid logical reasoning when we study problems, that is, we only speak logically.The crown prince has been abolished and put under guard. How could he possibly steal some things, including objects and people?Then you have to know that although Kangxi abolished his status as the prince, he still has no ties to him. After all, he is his own son, and his treatment is still very good.And the relationship between the guard and him is not like you think it's all about hating him.Moreover, when the "Hongxi rebellion case" happened, Hongxi was arranged in the palace of Zhengjiazhuang, which was tantamount to house arrest.But this palace is very big.Hongxi has already been deprived of the political value of the emperor and grandson, but the arrangements given to him by the royal family are still beyond our imagination.Zhengjiazhuang in Changping is now called Zhenggezhuang. I don’t know if there are any remains of this.There are a total of 189 palaces in this place, and there are as many as 1973 dining rooms, tea rooms, and soldiers' houses.In addition, it is recorded in history that Hongxi was already very old, and he knew that after his father was imprisoned, of course, although his father was imprisoned, there were many women living with him, not only the right wife, but also many side houses.He had a Fujin who was sick. When he asked the imperial physician for a diagnosis, Yinfeng once wrote a secret letter with alum water, which was discovered only after he was told the secret.This is clearly recorded in Qing history.First, he can't be honest; second, he will pass things out if he is trapped.He has many wives and concubines, if some of them are not found out in time after pregnancy; or if he said it was a miscarriage, but he bribed the midwife to secretly carry her out, it is possible.After reading the historical facts, I know that there are at least two possibilities. Thinking that Qin Keqing is a lewd image is the deviation caused by the description that people did not understand in the past.The love between Qin Keqing and Jia Zhen is demonstrated in detail in my book.They are sincere, she doesn't love Jia Rong, she loves Jia Zhen, she has the right to love Jia Zhen.We all know that Cao Yu has a drama called "Thunderstorm". May I ask you, what kind of love is Zhou Ping and Fanyi?It's an incestuous relationship, don't you also sympathize with Fan Yi?Did you throw your broken shoe at Fanyi in the audience?You hate Mrs. Zhou, don't you?You sympathize with Fanyi and Zhou Ping, don't you?But now you can sympathize with Fanyi and Zhou Ping's love affair, why can't you forgive Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing's sincere love?Of course, you can still reserve your opinion and we can discuss it. Fu Guangming: After listening to Teacher Xinwu's speech, do we have such a feeling?With the novelist's keen tentacles, he captures the subtle clues and foreshadowings left by Cao Xueqin in his novels to conduct academic exploration.Really good work, and unique insights. "Red Learning" is also known as "mystery learning".Because of this, each of us has reasons and rights. Like Teacher Xinwu, we can integrate our own life experience into it to solve mysteries and explore the lost red building.Finally, let us express our gratitude to Mr. Xinwu for his wonderful speech.
