Chapter 8 Chapter Seven: The Mystery of the Sun and the Moon

We read it carefully and found that certain situations of the Cao family in the Yongzheng Dynasty were rarely written about in it, and even the scenes of rising from the original ecology of life to art were relatively rare. Cao Xueqin seemed to be reluctant to write this paragraph.He focuses on the stories that happened during the reign of Qianlong, and the political power struggle among the upper echelons of that dynasty is more reflected in his writing. This is what I want to focus on in this lecture. Then the 40th chapter, half of which is called "Golden Mandarin Duck Three Proclamation of Tooth Cards", it is written that Jia's mother and his family members play tooth cards together, and the mandarin ducks play the role of reporting the name of the tooth cards they made up in their hands.Some readers didn't like this episode very much, saying that I don't know how to play cards, so why did Cao Xueqin write this?Actually, this text is very important, let me explain it to you.

Then their dental card game begins. First, Mother Jia draws the cards. First, Mother Jia shows a card. Yuanyang asks Mother Jia to say a rhyme. Follow up and say something that rhymes, so Mother Jia said "there is a blue sky on your head".Why did Mother Jia say this?It was because of Yongzheng's sudden death and Qianlong's succession to the throne. Qianlong was a great politician. He learned lessons from his grandfather and his father's rule, and felt that the political scars left by his father and his grandfather's two dynasties were too deep. It was because the scars caused by the internal fighting within the royal family were too deep, so he implemented a policy called "Affinity Family".Kiss, the first kiss is a verb, and the second kiss is a noun, which means that everyone in my royal family must unite. Let’s write off all the past grievances and start a new kind of unity to support our Qing Dynasty. The political life of the dynasty.And he practiced himself, he released those members of the royal family who were punished by Yongzheng, and those who were imprisoned; if they died, he would treat their children and grandchildren kindly, and restore some titles to his descendants.He does a lot of that.For those officials who committed crimes due to internal struggles and power changes in the royal family, as long as you did not really oppose the Qing Dynasty’s rule, but because of some deficit or other problems, I will pardon you.So in the first year of Qianlong, Cao Xueqin and his family encountered a situation of "the blue sky above their heads", and Jia's mother was satisfied with the emperor at that time.

Of course, the emperor written in it is a vague image, and there is an overlord above the emperor in the book.In fact, in real life, before the death of Cao Xueqin, there had never been a Supreme Emperor in the Qing Dynasty since Nurhachi; the appearance of the Supreme Emperor in the Qing Dynasty was long after Cao Xueqin passed away. Qianlong practiced the so-called inner Zen and gave the throne to Jiaqing became the Supreme Emperor himself.It is impossible and unnecessary for Cao Xueqin to foresee or assume such a situation.This shows that although Cao Xueqin writes books from the real life, he also has artistic fictions. He does not want to tell the story background in the book, but he takes care of the real social background everywhere, so he writes Many ingenious methods were used to say that there is still the Supreme Emperor above the current emperor. I think he combined the three emperors Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong into one writing.The Taishanghuang has the meaning of a metaphor for Kangxi, and the emperor after the concubine Yuan visited his relatives in the book, the so-called "present day" refers to Qianlong. As for Yongzheng, he is particularly vague.Jia's mother used "the blue sky on her head" to praise the saint, and she praised Qianlong. Qianlong's gentle policy brought new vitality to the Cao family in real life; For the character Jia Mu in the book, she said such a sentence at this time.

Speaking of this, I think I have to go over the issue of seniority for everyone again, so that everyone's minds will be clearer.Among the three emperors of the Qing Dynasty, which generation does Kangxi correspond to the Cao family?It is Cao Yin's generation, which generation is projected into this book?It is Jia Mu's generation; the next generation, Yongzheng's generation, should be Cao Yin's son. Cao Yong died soon, it is Cao Fu, and projected into it are Jia She, Jia Zheng, and Jia Jing. , they belong to one generation; then there is the third generation, the third generation in the royal family is Emperor Qianlong, and the Cao family's peers corresponding to Emperor Qianlong should be Cao Xueqin's generation, they are the same generation, Projected into it, it is those people of the younger generation, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu and so on.It is such a correspondence.

That's why Jia's mother said "there is a blue sky above her head" because the situation of the Cao family was greatly alleviated during the reign of Qianlong, and there are files to check.At that time, Cao Fu's so-called debts and silver debts were blown away, and Cao Fu returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs again. In the novel, he was projected into a person like Jia Zheng, who became an official again. Although this official is not very high, but It's not bad, being a Yuanwailang, right?Therefore, when Jia's mother said "there is a blue sky above her head", she actually said from the Cao family in real life, or from the Jia family among them, that they are willing to be loyal to the emperor and are very grateful.This is a reflection and description of seeking truth from facts.

Of course, when Mother Jia talked about the last few cards, the rhymes she said were also very interesting. When she said "Liuqiao plum blossoms are fragrant", she actually said that our Cao family is of course the four major families mentioned in the novel. ——First of all, the historians and the Jia family finally survived the most difficult winter, and the plum blossoms bloomed, right, and got a better scene.And she continued to chant, called "A Round of Red Sun Rises into the Clouds". Jia Mu is willing to express her gratitude over and over again to the current emperor in this novel, who is actually the Emperor Qianlong in real life. of affection.However, after the entire deck is assembled, the name of the deck is not good. This is Cao Xueqin's careful artistic conception.That's how he conceived.Yuanyang told Jia Mu, saying that your deck of cards—that tooth card is played with three cards—that you make a deck of three cards, "you will be a disheveled ghost"; Zhang's card that draws out the Thanksgiving and Psalm is not a good name after it is made up, it is a disheveled ghost.That Jia Mu was also very smart, so she said, "This ghost hugged Zhong Kui's leg."This is a very sublime artistic conception, which is Cao Xueqin's ability to elevate life into art.Zhong Kui, everyone knows that Zhong Kui specializes in fighting ghosts, so he wrote a delicate situation. On the one hand, Jia Mu thought that Zhong Kui would protect her, right?But was the ghost killed immediately?No, the ghost was not killed immediately, and the ghost hugged Zhong Kui's leg again.That is to say, at that time, the Jia family encountered difficulties and was protected by someone, but this protection may not be carried out to the end, so whether it was Zhong Kui who beat the ghost, or the ghost hugged Zhong Kui's leg and dragged Zhong Kui to the ground. , it’s not clear yet, is it?This is very ingenious, so he didn't just write these tokens casually there, he used his brains when he wrote them.The author has worked so hard, "Ten years of hard work is not unusual", we must work harder and be more careful in reading, so that we can read the flavor, right?Just like the maple dew tea I talked about a few times ago, it is only good after three or four servings. It is not good to drink immediately after brewing it.This is Jia Mu's order.

But when Shi Xiangyun came to draw the cards next, the situation changed, and a shocking sentence appeared at this time.Please let every friend here come to ponder with me what this phrase means?Shi Xiangyun suddenly said something called "Double hanging sun and moon illuminate the universe", what does it mean?According to the ruling ideology of the feudal society at that time, it is impossible to have the sun and the moon hanging together. There is no two suns!Although you are not another sun, you are a moon, and you hang in the sky on an equal footing with the sun, is that okay?This was originally a poem by Li Bai. Li Bai's poem said that Tang Xuanzong fled to Sichuan in a hurry during the Anshi Rebellion. He was still the emperor at the time, and he was very embarrassed. Yang Guozhong killed the prime minister, but killing the prime minister is still not enough. People say that the prime minister’s sister is still with you, so he had no choice but to persuade Concubine Yang—Yang Guozhong’s sister to commit suicide. Concubine Yang had no choice but to commit suicide. ; And at this time, his son declared himself emperor in another place.Before he abdicated, another emperor was born.Therefore, Li Bai had a poem at that time called "Double hanging sun and moon illuminate the universe".Shi Xiangyun quoted this poem to mean that during the Qianlong Dynasty, the sun and the moon hung over the heads of the Cao family in real life. This situation was reflected in the book. ", through Shi Xiangyun, declared it thrillingly.Don’t look at the Jia family in the book eating, drinking and having fun there. There are two headquarters above their heads. How long they can play depends on who swallows the other in the end.

Some friends may ask me this way, saying that the sun and the moon are both hanging, why is the sun and the moon hanging at this time?Kangxi is dead, Yongzheng is dead, and Qianlong is also the emperor, and the throne is stable. Why are the sun and the moon hanging together?Who is that moon? The "day" is of course Qianlong, who is the "month"?Is there a month?There is a month!What a big moon!Who is he? As you all know, Crown Prince Yinreng was once the beloved son of Kangxi. After talking for a long time in the last lecture, everyone should still be very impressed.Kangxi married the prince very early, and the prince later had many women around him, who were also very fertile.Kangxi's first prince was born at the age of thirteen. He married and had children very early, and the prince gave birth early, and he gave birth to many sons.The first son born to the prince also died, and the second son is equal to the first son. What is the name of this son?This son is called Hongxi. Everyone knows that Qianlong's name is Hongli. They are from the "Hong" generation, a generation of people.Hongxi is very old, because Kangxi's reproductive ability is too strong. Kangxi's last son is younger than the son born to his previous son, and his reproductive ability is too strong.So you may find it a bit chaotic in terms of age alone, but in terms of seniority, it is not chaotic at all.This Hong Xi was very old, he was already about fifteen years old when the prince was abolished, and he was already a very mature person.Hongxi grew up under the eyes of Kangxi. When his father was abolished for the second time, he was already eighteen years old, and he was already married. He also gave birth to a son, and he gave birth to Kangxi again. The great-grandson of the direct line is called Yongchen.Those who have a name and a surname are all the generation of "Yong" in that generation, and they are all in the generation of "Yong" in Jiaqing. After Jiaqing became emperor, he changed the "Yong" in his name to "" .After the second abolished prince, what was the reaction of the government and the opposition at that time?If you check the documents of the Kangxi and Yongzheng dynasties now, you will find very few records in this regard, and they have basically been deleted. But fortunately, I quoted it in the last lecture. We have a neighboring country called North Korea. Their history There are still related records.What records are there in North Korea's "Records of the Li Dynasty"?There are the following records, for example, first, after the second abolition of the prince, although Yinreng himself really made Kangxi sad and felt that he could not be allowed to inherit the throne, Yinreng's son Hongxi was the eldest grandson, and Kangxi liked it very much, so Kangxi is still considering passing the throne to his direct descendants. If his son is not good enough, he may pass it on to his grandson. Moreover, this grandson is not a child, but already a young man with all-round talents in civil and military affairs.Moreover, "Records of the Li Dynasty" also records that Kangxi died of illness all at once, and Yongzheng succeeded to the throne. Kangxi had two last words when he was dying. To make a difference in politics, he must be locked up forever, but he must be "enriched with food and clothing"; in addition, his own eldest son, Sun Hongxi, must be made a prince immediately. There is such a record in "Records of the Li Dynasty". Even if the record is different from the historical facts, it still shows that Hongxi was a very important person under the circumstances at that time.Although his father was abolished, he was still loved by the imperial grandfather, and he was the true direct blood of the Qing royal family.Therefore, during the Qianlong Dynasty, Qianlong never expected that there would be a strong political opponent, that is Hongxi, his cousin.

Qianlong was young. When the crown prince was abolished for the first time, Qianlong was not yet born;So at first he underestimated this cousin, Hongxi. He never expected that after he ascended the throne, Hongxi quickly expanded his political power and became a strong opponent of him.If Qianlong was the sun, Hongxi would be considered the moon, and you should not be surprised by this.First of all, this situation can be confirmed by a lot of historical materials from the Qing Dynasty. My conclusion is supported by evidence.Because Yongzheng also underestimated Hongxi at that time. As I said in the last lecture, after Yongzheng took the throne, he faced too many political enemies.He was too busy, and it seemed that Kangxi had meant that he must treat Hong Xi kindly, because he was already a dead tiger.His father died in the second year of Yongzheng, that is, not long after Yongzheng ascended the throne, the original prince died.Yongzheng thought about it, it was another generation before Hongxi, and Hongxi might have been very humble and honest on the surface at that time, and he didn't show his fangs, so Yongzheng let him go.Since my father said to make him a prince, let's make him a prince. Sure enough, Yongzheng made Hong Xi the prince of Li, first the county king, and then the prince.Of course Hongxi is still a sensitive person, so it is not safe to let him live in the Forbidden City, or give him a big palace, let him live in the city or urban area of ​​Beijing, so where should he be arranged? where?Arrange to Zhengjiazhuang in Changping.Now when you go to Changping, there is another place called Zhenggezhuang, which should be there. Yongzheng arranged for Hong Xi to build a large palace there.Some people say, how big can it be?It is very big, and there are solid historical materials to check this.

In fact, Kangxi started to do this before he was alive. At that time, Kangxi mainly wanted to move Hongxi over, because the deposed prince was still alive at that time.After the deposed prince was locked up, he was placed under house arrest in a place called Xian'an Palace in the Forbidden City at the beginning. Kangxi felt that it would be a matter of time. There was such a person who was deposed and lived in the Forbidden City. It was not safe, but he It's his own flesh and blood——Kangxi also has a side that pays attention to the affection of flesh and blood, so he said, then build him a big palace in the suburbs, so that he can be easily taken care of.And it’s another kind of tender care, so I simply built it in a place on the route that Mulan Qiuxi passed by every time, and built my palace with his palace.Kangxi had such an idea, and later implemented it.The situation of the houses built in Zhengjiazhuang in Changping is like this. Inside the palace is a large courtyard and a small courtyard. There are 290 large and small houses and 96 verandahs; One hundred and eighty-nine rooms, the salary is relatively high, right?In order to supply this palace and this palace, dining rooms, tea houses, soldiers' houses, shop houses, etc. were built around them. How many rooms are there?There are one thousand nine hundred and seventy-three rooms.How about the whole scale?Think about it, everyone, it's quite a large scale.After years of washing, these buildings are hard to find now, but someone found a very special copper well in Zhenggezhuang, Changping. It is an unusual water well, which should be the remnants of Prince Li's mansion.During the Yongzheng Dynasty, didn’t the abolished prince die in the second year of Yongzheng?Yongzheng arranged for Hongxi to live in Zhengjiazhuang as a prince.For Hong Xi, there are both disadvantages and advantages. The disadvantage is that I am still a bit degraded. Although I am a prince, the prince's palace should be in the city, but I was dispatched to a place far away in the northern suburbs; the advantage Well, no matter how you look after it, it's still a little more relaxed than in the political center, so I can make another idea.As expected, Hongxi had a different idea.

Or go back to the "Golden Mandarin Duck Three Proclamation Tooth Card Order".You see, how interesting this "Three Proclamation Teeth Card Order" is!With just this one sentence, it can grow into such a big tree with luxuriant branches and leaves all at once—the so-called "a tree with a thousand branches"—and can tell so many interesting things.Shi Xiangyun pointed out that the era reflected in the novel, its era background and political background are the sun and the moon shining on the universe.At that time, the "day" was Emperor Qianlong, who had already inherited the throne and became the emperor.But one of his cousins, Hongxi, the son of the abolished prince, is also dreaming of being an emperor in Zhengjiazhuang, and there are many practical plots to seek imperial power.In real life, for a big family like the Cao family, they must be clear about this situation; ordinary people at the bottom may be confused, but the Cao family is not confused, and they must not be confused, because they have to figure out the political situation at any time. From a positive point of view, it is to obtain more practical benefits, and from a negative point of view, it is to avoid being hit.The situation in real life is reflected in the novel, even Jia Mu and the others know it in their hearts, so Shi Xiangyun said it: the double hanging sun and the moon shine on the universe. Some friends below may still hope that I can provide more solid arguments. How can it be seen that Hongxi is about to seize power?Want to seek the throne?Qianlong said it later.If I don't quote other people's words, is it wrong for Qianlong to say it?What did Qianlong say?Qianlong later said that Hongxi "didly imitate the national system and set up seven divisions including accounting and instrument management".Only the emperor can have such institutions. The master of ceremonies is the emperor's guard of honor when he travels. How to set up the guard of honor, how to lay carpets, and how to block the curtains on both sides; let alone the accounting department, which helps the emperor manage the treasury; There are seven divisions in total.Hey, Hongxi is fortunate that he happens to be far away in Zhengjiazhuang, not in the city, and it might be troublesome in the city.Zhengjiazhuang, I told you the number of houses just now. It is a lot, enough for him to set up his own administrative organization, right?Hongxi became the emperor himself there, set up seven divisions for himself, and he has already become the emperor.Qianlong was younger than him, so he didn't pay attention to him at first, and didn't keep an eye on him. Later, when Qianlong grew up and became a great politician, he understood.In the current historical materials of the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong's words are clearly left behind. Qianlong said that Hongxi "thought he was the son of the old East Palace, and his intentions are beyond question."It was only then that Qianlong realized that his own blood was no match for Hong Xi.According to the patriarchal thought of the feudal society, the order of ethics, and the distinction between concubine and concubine, he is the son of Yongzheng who was born by a concubine, while Hongxi is the son of the eldest wife who was born to the son of the empress of Kangxi, and is a surviving descendant. The eldest son, that is to say, Hongxi is the eldest grandson of Kangxi Zhenggen Zhengmiao, isn't it?So later Qianlong suddenly realized, oops, he didn't take good precautions against this person, and made a fuss for a long time, he "thought he was the son of the old East Palace".And later Qianlong discovered that what saddened him the most was that many people in the royal family had this idea, including those nobles and cronies whom his father had treated kindly, they still had this idea, that is, they always murmured in their hearts, who should be Emperor?Naturally, I first asked Emperor Kangxi who his son was. If his son broke up and died, would his son still have any sons?Yes, and it was Kangxi who watched him grow up, and there was nothing wrong with him. Kangxi didn’t say anything bad about him, and even praised him often. !So, shouldn't he be emperor?Many people had this idea, so Qianlong became vigilant later.He was careless at the beginning, but it turned out that "the sun and the moon illuminate the universe" for a period of time.In the fortieth chapter "Golden Mandarin Duck and Three Proclamations of Tooth Cards", it is thrilling to declare that the entire political background of this book is "the sun and the moon hang together". At the time of forty chapters, it has not yet been determined. That's why Shi Xiangyun's toothpaste order was more terrifying every sentence, and it was called "leisure flowers fall to the ground and listen to silence".At that time, this kind of struggle was still a secret fight. It was still a secret fight in the first year of Qianlong, and it did not become a big duel until the fourth year of Qianlong.So at this time, there is a secret rivalry, which is called "leisure flowers fall to the ground and listen to silence".According to historical records, Hongxi once gave Qianlong a birthday gift, including a bright yellow shoulder bag, which was a reclining chair that was carried around. The color of that thing was only used by the emperor; Hongxi did this as a provocation, because there was no According to the order of the emperor himself, no one can make utensils of this color without authorization, but Hongxi made it and brought it to Qianlong. What do you do?Qianlong is really difficult to deal with. If I just want to use this thing, I should ask someone to make it myself. You can't let someone make it over me. You are acting presumptuously.But they sent it over again as a birthday gift, on the surface it was well intentioned, but if they accepted it, it would be a start, and anyone could make things of this color casually in the future.This incident was not a big one, "the idle flowers fell to the ground", and it did not cause any noise in the court at that time, "there was no sound", but it was actually a psychological war launched by Hongxi against Qianlong.At that time, Qianlong remained calm, and just said that he didn't want the shoulder and took it back; but after taking it back, Hongxi used it for himself, and he sat on a reclining chair of the color that only the emperor could use, and passed by.Qianlong was still very angry when he talked about this incident later, but it was still a secret fight at that time, and he didn't tear his face to fight. Under the political situation of "sun and moon hanging together", the state of the bureaucracy at that time was more complicated. Shi Xiangyun said another token word called "red apricots planted by the sun and leaning on the clouds", which means that some people will rely on the power of the sun , thus gaining power.But you have to be careful. Immediately afterwards, Shi Xiangyun said another sentence, which makes your heart beat just like "Double Hanging Sun and Moon Shining on the Universe", it is called "Yuyuan was bitten out by a bird", this sentence is very wonderful!Yuyuan, have you ever been to the Imperial Garden in the Forbidden City?Such a big garden, you have to be careful, if you guard against this, a bird may take you away, isn’t it powerful?Of course, this sentence can generally be understood as a bird flying into the imperial garden and picking out the cherries from the cherry tree inside.The deck of Shi Xiangyun in the book is "Nine Ripe Cherries" after it is assembled. The card looks like three cards with nine red dots, a full house.After the mandarin duck announced the name of the "Cherry Nine Ripening" brand, Shi Xiangyun then said that "the imperial garden was picked up by the bird", which means that all the cherries and all the essence in the imperial garden are actually the entire value of the imperial garden. will be taken away by external forces.To put it simply, there is a potential power-grabbing force that is stalking, and Yuyuan may be taken out by a bird, regardless of the appearance of "idle flowers falling to the ground and listening to silence".So Shi Xiangyun's order is also terrible, and it foretells many things. In the passage "Golden Mandarin Duck and Three Proclamation of Teeth", not only the tokens of Jia Mu and Shi Xiangyun imply such a metaphor, like Aunt Xue said "plum blossoms dance before the wind", Xue Baochai said "everywhere there is turmoil and everywhere Sorrow", Lin Daiyu said "Shuangzhan Yuzuo leads the court instrument" and so on, they are not just written casually, they all have similar meanings in it. Of course, Cao Xueqin never writes simply to express a simple meaning in one stroke, he always uses one stroke for multiple purposes.Later, a man named Qi Liaosheng wrote a preface to one of the first eighty chapters of an ancient book, and he summarized Cao Xueqin's artistic technique as "two songs with one voice, two books with one hand".It means that two songs can be sung with one voice, and two letters can be written with one hand. He is describing Cao Xueqin's superb writing style, which is also called "one strike, two cries, one stone, three birds".In this place, it is actually killing three birds with one stone. He wrote "Golden Mandarin Duck and Three Proclamation of Tooth Cards", which revealed to readers the complicated political situation that the Jia family faced in the novel; He also said a few words about the tooth card order through Lin Daiyu, and finally said the words in it, and was caught by Xue Baochai as a pigtail-so, this paragraph of description is also for the following plot, paving the way for the conflict between Chai and Dai; At the same time, I asked Grandma Liu to say some funny things, especially the last one, saying, "The flowers fall and a big pumpkin grows." As a result, the next time, all the ladies and ladies in Jia's mansion laughed together, showing their culture. Emotional shocks caused by differences.So Cao Xueqin is really powerful, called "three birds with one stone". Through the "Golden Mandarin Duck Three Proclamation Tooth Card Order", we know that in it, the moon actually has a special meaning, who is it for?It is Prince Yufei and his son, more specifically, a code name of Hongxi, which is hidden behind the text and constitutes the major political background of Cao Xueqin's writing. Prince Yueyu, there are too many examples, not just the "Golden Mandarin Duck Three Proclamation Teeth Order".To explain in more detail, when I say that the moon is a metaphor for the prince, the complete meaning is that the words about the moon that appear in many places in the novel are similes, metaphors, or metaphors for the old thousand-year-old prince Yizhong and his remnant forces.As far as its life prototype is concerned, it includes not only Yinfeng, but also Hongxi. "Prince" is a compound concept. Okay, let's see what other examples of Prince Yue Yu are.As soon as we opened it, in the first chapter, we found that a character Jia Yucun came out. This Jia Yucun had a slogan in the first chapter. Poetry collection".Because she had read the complete manuscript written by Cao Xueqin, the first time it was written about the Mid-Autumn Festival, and then there was a poem, which was Jia Yucun's slogan, which is about the moon.She told us that in the last episode, there will be a poem, which is also a Mid-Autumn Festival poem, and it will end at the end. Zhi Yanzhai revealed that Cao Xueqin wrote it in this way.What does Jia Yucun's slogan say? "When there is a reunion every three or five days, the jade fence is full of sunshine. Only one round in the sky is held out, and all the surnames in the world look up." The scene in the last two sentences is too exaggerated. Isn't this the emperor coming out?is not it? "It's only a round in the sky, and everyone in the world looks up." Why?It is said that it is about a Mid-Autumn Festival moon scene, but in fact there is a hidden political situation in this poem, that is, in the situation of "the double hanging sun and the moon illuminate the universe", the moon has already swelled very much.You may think it is a bit far-fetched to explain this poem in this way, and you feel that you cannot convince me with such a poem.OK, let's do a few more songs. We know that in the forty-eighth chapter, it is written that there is a beautiful girl who wants to learn to compose poetry. Who is this girl?It is Xiangling, the daughter of Zhen Shiyin.Xiangling wrote three poems one after another, one better than the other.In the first song, Lin Daiyu felt that she was a layman, no way, but in this song, there is a sentence called "the moon hangs in the middle of the sky and the night is cold", that is, the situation of the moon at that time was not very good, even though it hung in the middle of the sky at that time , but the night is still cold, and it seems that there is still a long way to go before the moon really gains power.She wrote the second song, and in the end Xue Baochai said that you didn't fit the title. The title asked you to write about the moon, but you wrote the moonlight, but there is also a sentence in this song that is worth pondering, which is called "Yu Rong can still be separated from the curtain." Look".At that time, Hongxi was arranged to live in Zhengjiazhuang, Changping. At first, he was arranged by Yongzheng. After Yongzheng died, Qianlong became aware of him.Although Hong was marginalized, many aristocratic families still knew that he was powerful, especially in their hearts, they felt that he was the eldest son of the eldest son of Emperor Kangxi. He was the eldest grandson of Emperor Kangxi, so he was called, although only "Yu Rong", but "you can still see through the curtain", he still exists.By the third song, everyone felt good at the end. Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, and Li Wan all said that this song was well written, which shows that Xiangling has finally cultivated into a poet.There is a sentence in this poem that is considered the best, which is even more thrilling. It is called "the essence of the moon is difficult to conceal." up.This moon is about to accomplish things, and I am full of expectations for the moon.I'm afraid some people will say, "Xiang Ling's poem, are you still too far-fetched?"When I read it, I thought it had this meaning. Are you being too sensational? Is that the case?I personally still stand by my opinion on this, that's all. There are also examples.As you all know, it is very late, the seventy-sixth chapter, the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Mid-Autumn Festival. Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun jointly wrote poems in the Aujing Pavilion, remember this plot?Have you considered those poems sentence by sentence?Shaking his head again, he didn't think twice.You must not let go of reading these poems. Please scrutinize them carefully with me. It is very interesting to scrutinize them.Your feelings and opinions may be completely different from mine, but won't we have great fun when we read together and explore the meaning behind these verses?Yes or no?I think this is very important. Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun wrote a joint poem, and there are many lines in the joint poem that are very worthy of our attention. Of course, the entire poem, because it is written for the Mid-Autumn Festival, is almost all about the moon, but some of the lines are still more thrilling the more you think about it.For example, there are some sentences called "Bao Wu's love is lonely and clean, and Yin Chan's breath is full of breath". It is very pure, and it actually refers to the moon; "Silver toad breaths out", silver means that the moon is silver, and there are toads exhaling there. "The medicine is pounded by the spirit rabbit, and people rush to Guanghan", isn't there a rabbit in the moon pounding medicine?The two of them made a joint poem saying that when people look at the moon at this time, they want to go to Guanghan Palace, and they want to go to that place. The palace inside, the palace where Chang'e lives is called Guanghan Palace, "people run to Guanghan".Some people may say that the "person" in "people rushing to Guanghan" is the "Chang'e", so there may not be as deep meaning as you said.Yes, although these four sentences refer to the moon, they don't seem to be too powerful, they are just describing the scene in general.Then let's look down. The next few sentences are called "If you commit a fight, invite the bull girl, and wait for the emperor and grandson by the boat".These two sentences are serious. Dou refers to the Big Dipper in the sky, the Big Dipper.Criminal fighting, a star to invade another star is called criminal, "criminal fighting invites a bull girl", this poetic expression expresses a strong tense atmosphere in the vagueness.This sentence is nothing more than that, there are three sentences below, now I tell you that in some ancient books, the three sentences I said below were probably read by the copyists, and they were deleted out of fear, Therefore, not every ancient book retains the following three sentences, because the following three sentences are too explicit in today's words.What are the following sentences?A sentence is called "Chengcha to treat the emperor's grandson", "Cha" is the wooden raft; "Chengcha", in the past, it was believed that there was a Tianhe in the sky, so Cha can also run in the Tianhe.Sitting on this raft and running in the Tianhe River, who are you waiting for?Waiting for the emperor and grandson, although the emperor and grandson refer to the stars, Vega was called the emperor and grandson in the past, but here it clearly refers to the grandson of Kangxi.Because everyone in the Qianlong Dynasty knew that the word emperor and grandson referred to Hongxi, and no one else.He is the eldest grandson of Emperor Kangxi, referred to as the emperor's grandson, and other concubines cannot be called that.So this kind of sentence actually appeared in the couplet poem of the Aujing Pavilion. If you want to "take the opportunity to wait for the emperor and grandson", some people hope that he will succeed, and hope that he will finally be "the one in the sky, and all the surnames in the world will look up." ".Isn't this thrilling?There may be some people below who are not convinced, saying that you are too sensitive?Oh, it's not that I'm sensitive, who is sensitive?Gao E is sensitive, Gao E and Cheng Weiyuan are sensitive.Gao E, Cheng Weiyuan and the others had this sentence in the ancient book they got, but when they saw it, "Take the opportunity to treat the emperor and grandson", oh, let's not cause trouble, quickly erased the word "to be" and changed it to "visit".So you can see in the passbook, what did Gao E and the others change?Not only did he continue the last forty chapters, but he also changed the first eighty chapters. He changed "waiting for the emperor's grandson in a boat" into "visiting the emperor's grandson". Once you visit, the meaning is completely different. "Waiting for the emperor" means that you have expectations for a kind of power, you hope that he can save yourself, it means looking forward to the savior, waiting for his success; "Visiting the emperor" means being a guest, a friendly visit , it is quite different.So who do you say is sensitive?More than 200 years ago, the surname Gao was more sensitive than me, so he changed it quickly. There are also two sentences called: "The wheel of emptiness and fullness cannot be fixed, and the dark soul is empty." That is to say, someone said that the moon has cloudy and sunny periods. The moon, sometimes it will become a crescent, and sometimes it will be a moon.满月，有时候它是虚的，有时候它是盈的、充满的；月亮嘛，可以说是不稳定的，他们也注意到这一点，这个力量确实是时而显得很强大，时而显得很虚弱。但是，下面一句明确地宣示了他们的一个信念，叫做“晦朔魄空存”。在它完全变黑的时候和它完全变亮的时候都只是它的表象，明白吧？不要看表面的变化，无论怎样，它的实体，它的魄，是在天空当中稳定地存在的呀！这个联诗当中就联出了这样的句子，难道是偶然的吗？难道我认为在的文本里面月喻太子，是完全没有道理的吗？ 也有人可能会说了，你光是引诗，你能不能举出点情节的例子让我听听啊，是不是？在的描写当中有没有暗示现实生活当中的曹家，升华为艺术当中的贾家以后，去支应潜在的政治集团的事情呢？有没有这种情节啊？如果你读得仔细的话，是有的。在第二十八回，突然插进一个很小的情节，很多人都不注意，但是我提醒你注意，就是贾宝玉匆匆忙忙跑过凤姐的院子，凤姐说你来，你给我写几个字，有没有这么个情节啊？right?贾宝玉说写什么字啊？凤姐说，你甭管了，你就给我写。写的什么字？叫做“大红妆缎四十匹，蟒缎四十匹。上用纱各色一百匹，金项圈四个”，多不多啊？这东西不少啊，是不是啊？也很贵重啊。贾宝玉就问，“这算什么？又不是账，又不是礼物，怎么个写法？”凤姐说，“你只管写，横竖我自己明白罢了。”大家知道，凤姐平常写字、算账，她是有一个可供支使的人的，叫什么呀？叫彩明，记不记得这个人啊？彩明不是一个丫头啊，彩明是一个童子，是一个小男孩，但是有文化，会算术，一般的这种事情凤姐都是让彩明来做。但是在做这件事的时候，凤姐就没有叫彩明，而是找她最亲近的人，找贾宝玉来做这件事。她知道贾宝玉是个不问政治的人，贾宝玉根本就不耐烦，正合适，贾宝玉写完就忘了，太好了。凤姐要把这些东西往哪里送？有人说她送给元春的，人家这个贾家的大小姐在皇宫里面是贵妃啊，是不是？她送给元春，她要开一个单子，她需要贾宝玉这么秘密地来开吗？她让彩明开不就完了吗？而且她为什么不回答贾宝玉呢？你就跟贾宝玉说不就得了吗？凤姐说，这事横竖我明白就行了，我明白就罢了，怪不怪啊？而且底下，凤姐还有很多蹊跷的事情。到第七十二回，那一回里面凤姐讲她做了一个梦，叫梦中夺锦。她说突然来了一个人，看着很面善，仔细想又想不起是谁，来要一百匹锦，于是凤姐就问他，那个人说娘娘要一百匹锦，凤姐问他，是哪一位娘娘啊？结果那个人说的又不是咱们家的娘娘。有这个情节，是不是啊？当时王熙凤作为一个当家人，她所要支应的，要对付的不仅仅是一个太阳，她还要应付月亮那边呢，应付月亮那边只能采取这种办法，不能太明白地去应付，知道吧？ 所以你看这些地方都说明，在康、雍、乾三朝，当时的政治形势影响了曹家，曹雪芹这个作者又把乾隆初期复杂的政治情势，和自己家族的命运，巧妙地投射到了的文本当中，留下了诸多的蛛丝马迹；而且有的已经不是蛛丝，已经不是马迹，留下的痕迹已经是非常清晰了，这就是这一讲我所要强调的。请你注意“双悬日月照乾坤”！也可能有朋友就着急了，说您看您说了半天还没告诉我们，秦可卿的原型究竟是谁呢？关于这个，请听下回分解。
