Chapter 15 Chapter 6 Xue Baochai's Ending Revealed

Xue Baochai's ending, like the endings of other characters in the novel, can be fully understood by exploring the lost. Of course, the premise for me to talk about this issue is to first deny the 120-chapter notebook produced by Cheng Weiyuan and Gao E.In the current version of 120 chapters, the first 80 chapters have been tampered with by Cheng Cheng and Gao, and there are some places that do not conform to or even deviate from Cao Xueqin's original writing. The last forty chapters completely violate Cao Xueqin's original writing. original intention. In the current version of the 120 chapters, whether the last 40 chapters were written by Gao E or not is a matter of debate among academic circles.There is no branching discussion here.Mr. Zhou Ruchang insisted that it was definitely not Cao Xueqin's writing, nor was it patched up based on some Cao Xueqin's incomplete manuscripts.I agree with Mr. Zhou's important judgment.As a side note, my "Uncovering the Secret" series, whether it is a program recorded in "Hundreds of Lectures" or compiled into a book, all quote, extend, and develop some basic viewpoints in Mr. Zhou Ruchang's research achievements, and I have to promote them. The intention of Zhou Laoyanhong's achievements and my citation of Zhou Laoyanhong's views are all with his consent.In fact, my research over the years has also been carried out under the strong support and patient guidance of Mr. Zhou.Of course, I have my own exclusive things, such as the interpretation of Qin Keqing’s prototype, the revelation of the purpose of naming the Four Fairies in the Illusory Realm, the judgment that Li Wan’s image has the shadow of Cao’s widow Ma in real life, and that Lin Daiyu’s burial flowers and Shenhu actually has the color of performance art and so on.On some issues, I have different opinions from Mr. Zhou. The bigger one is our views on the emotional relationship between Lin Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu; Concrete speculation on the ending; for minor ones, such as the girl who asked Xue Baochai if she had hidden her fan, there are two ways of writing "Lianger" and "Indigo" in ancient books, Zhou Lao took the front and I chose the back, etc.

In the current version, Xue Baochai's ending is: Jia's mother supported Wang Xifeng's "dumping scheme" and realized the "marriage of gold and jade". The sons Jia Gui, Jia Lan and Jia Gui have been elected successively, and Jia's family is "Lan Gui Qi Fang".I think such content is contrary to Cao Xueqin's original intention. To know the original meaning of Cao Xueqin's writing, we should and must conduct research. What is Tanyi?To lose is to lose something, and to explore is to find that lost thing as much as possible.This involves a fundamental question, that is, did Cao Xueqin finish writing?Then let me tell you again, Cao Xueqin finished writing, it didn’t mean that Cao Xueqin passed away after writing eighty chapters, and then stopped writing, and there will be no more after that.Cao Xueqin not only had a complete idea, but also basically completed the manuscript of the whole book, but it was too late for the final unified draft, some inconsistent places have not been unified, and some burrs have yet to be eliminated.It is a pity that all the manuscripts written by Cao Xueqin after the 80th chapter were strangely "lost by the borrowers" and have not surfaced so far.

When we explore the lost, there are at least three resources that can be used.The first is the foreshadowing in the first eighty chapters of the ancient version (strictly speaking, less than eighty chapters, about seventy-six or seventy-eight chapters).Secondly, there are a large number of Zhiyanzhai's comments.The people who criticized the book did not realize at first that after the eighty chapters, they would be "lost without manuscripts". Therefore, in the comments of the first eighty chapters, they mentioned the fate and plot of some characters after the eighty chapters. The development and scene details pointed out that "grass snakes and gray lines, stretching thousands of miles", and occasionally quoted chapters and sentences to express some emotion.Although these comments did not systematically disclose the content after the eighty chapters, and sometimes the words involved were too simplistic, they were quite reliable clues to the lost.In addition, some documents other than texts and commentaries, especially the poems and essays left by some people who overlapped with Cao Xueqin's life time and space, have also become precious resources for us to explore.

During the Qianlong period, there was a Manchu named Fucha Mingyi, who was considered to be of aristocratic blood, but his position was not high in his life. He was a small official who gave the whip to the imperial horse in Shangsiyuan—the imperial horse garden of the emperor. .This man likes to read as well as write poems. He left behind a collection of poems "Green Mist Window Collection", the manuscript is still preserved in the Beijing Library. There are 20 poems titled "Dream of Red Mansions" in "Green Smoke and Small Window Collection", which are very precious.These twenty poems are about poetry, and the artistic level is not high.However, it is a valuable material for the study of Cao Xueqin and He.

There is a small preface in front of these twenty poems "A Dream of Red Mansions", which is so important!Because it said at the beginning: "Cao Zixueqin wrote a dream of Red Mansions written by Cao Zixueqin, remembering the prosperous prosperity of Fengyue." Faced with this sentence, I think the controversy about whether Cao Xueqin is the author or not can be stopped.Mingyi lived from the early to the middle period of Qianlong. Although he was younger than Cao Xueqin, his life span overlapped with Cao Xueqin's for a considerable period of time.They have also lived in the space of Beijing for a long time.His twenty poems "A Dream of Red Mansions" were written a few years after Cao Xueqin passed away.His words are believable. "Cao Zixueqin" shows that Cao Xueqin is a man, and Mingyi respects him very much. "A Dream of Red Mansions written by the author", there is no other explanation for this "writing", it means a work, it means an original creation, that is, the copyright belongs to Cao Xueqin.Then, "Chu Suo wrote a Dream of the Red Chamber", "Chu" means "take out", who showed Ming Yi the manuscript?If it is not Cao Xueqin himself, it should be someone very close to Cao Xueqin.Because Mingyi went on to say: "It's a pity that his book has not been handed down, and the world is rarely known." "Not handed down" means that it has not been popular in the world, it has not been widely copied and printed, and it is only read by people in a small circle. "Those who are rarely known in the world." People in the general society simply don't know that there is such a book.Ming Yi said: "I see the original copy." Although what he saw was not Cao Xueqin's original manuscript, but a copy, it should not be the kind that was copied several times and intended to be sold in temple fairs. The copy with commercial intention is likely to be Zhi Yanzhai's copy plus commentary.We now all know that Cao Xueqin’s best friends Dunmin and brothers Duncheng are also descendants of Manchu nobles, and their status was not high in Qianlong. Like Mingren and Mingyi brothers, they belonged to a relatively marginal group compared to the hot and powerful circle a social existence.In Dun Min's "Mao Zhai Poetry Copy", there is a poem with a very long title: "It has been more than a year since Mr. Cao in Qinpu did not come. I happened to pass by Ming Junlin to raise Shixuan. I heard high-pitched conversations in the next courtyard. It is suspected to be Mr. Cao." , I rushed to visit each other, pleasantly surprised, because I talked about the old things while drinking, I felt a long sentence", I will not quote his poems here, but just remind everyone: Cao Xueqin and Minglin have a deep relationship, and this Minglin is Mingyi Cousin, since Cao Xueqin can talk at Minglin's home to the extent that the sound is broadcast outside the wall, then there is a high possibility that Cao Xueqin has a direct relationship with Mingyi. The preciousness of Minglin's cultivation of Shixuan is self-evident.It is particularly worth noting that the titles of the ancient books handed down today are often called, but Ming Yi called the manuscript he saw.After carefully reading Mingyi's twenty poems "Inscription on a Dream of Red Mansions", I feel that the manuscript he saw should be a notebook with more than eighty chapters.

For example, the nineteenth poem is written like this: "Don't ask about golden marriage and jade fate, gathering like a spring dream and dispersing like smoke. Stones return to the foot of the mountain without spiritual energy, and even if they can speak, it is in vain." This means that he saw the end of the whole book up. "Don't ask about the golden marriage and the jade fate", it shows that even if the "golden and jade marriage" has been completed, it will be a tragedy in the end, and it is unbearable to look back. "Getting together like a spring dream" means that Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai really got together and became husband and wife later, but it was just a spring dream that "scattered like smoke" and finally disappeared like smoke.What's more, he wrote that "there is no spiritual energy under the stone returning to the mountain", which is clearly the end of the whole book.Because I told you at the beginning of the book, a monk saw a big stone in the heaven together, which was the leftover stone of Nuwa's mending the sky. Later, the immortal monk performed magic tricks to turn the big stone into a psychic gem. When Jia Baoyu——Jia Baoyu used to be Shenying's attendant in the heaven—landed in the human world, he put the psychic gem in his mouth and carried it to the human world.In the first round, it was explained that "I don't know how many lives and kalpas have passed" - a vague concept of time was deliberately used - and finally this stone appeared in the heaven again, and it appeared under the Qinggeng Peak of Wuji Cliff in the Dahuang Mountain. I found a Taoist Kongkong and found that the stone was full of words. The Taoist Kongkong had a conversation with the stone, and finally transcribed it, that is, the Taoist Kongkong renamed it "Love Monk Record".It can be seen that at the end of the book, it is time to write about how the psychic jade returned to the heaven. Mingyi's poem has already been written to this point-"The stone returns to the foot of the mountain without spiritual energy": the remaining stone from Nuwa's mending sky came to the world, It is a psychic gem; when it returns to the fairyland, it will become a big stone that will never move, without aura.Although it is full of words, but Fucha Mingyi chanted, "It's all in vain to be able to speak."It is you who narrated these things in detail, but in the end, people still feel very helpless.Fucha Mingyi's level of understanding and appreciation of the book is not very high, and he may not fully understand the profound meaning in it, but what he sees is a complete book with a final conclusion.Do you think there is another explanation for the nineteenth song?

The twentieth song also makes you feel that what he saw was the whole book.He said: "It was not long before the food was cooked with jade and gold, and Wang Sun was thin and bony. Where did Qing'e's red powder go? I am ashamed of Shi Jilun back then." Shi Jilun is Shi Chong, a man from the Western Jin Dynasty. His name is Chong, and his name is Jilun.In the records about him, the most famous part is that - he was a rich man who built a large garden called Jingu Garden in Luoyang.He often competes with others for wealth.During the power struggle at that time, he was killed by Zhao Wang Sima Lun.His concubine, Luzhu, heard that he had been killed and could not bear to be looted by his political opponents, so she committed suicide by jumping off the building. "Green Pearl Falling from a Building" has become an allusion of gratitude to the Lord.Obviously, what Fucha Mingyi saw was the full version. He saw "Yu Yu, Cooking Gold in the Spring", this "Yu Yu, Cooking Gold" refers to "the prosperity of wind and moon". Of course, it also implies It contains the implication of "golden jade marriage" in it. If he only saw eighty episodes, and only the plot of "food, jade, and gold", he would not have the sigh of "soon spring", which shows that he has seen eighty episodes. Later, "after the three springs go, all the fragrances are exhausted, and each has to find his own door". "Wang and grandson are skinny and bony", this level has not been written in eighty chapters. Although Jia Baoyu has been severely injured mentally by copying and inspecting the Grand View Garden, he is not "skinny and bony" physically. Chapter 18 also has a special writing about Baoyu's image, which is said through the mouth of the girl Qiuwen: "The trousers are paired with a pine-colored jacket and stone blue boots, which make the indigo head and snow-white face more prominent." It’s gone.” The trousers mentioned here are red, Qingwen’s needlework, and Qingwen had died at that time, Baoyu was in great pain, but her appearance was still plump and beautiful.Fucha Mingyi must have seen the description of Jia Baoyu reduced to "choking with soreness in cold winter, surrounded by broken felt in snowy night" after watching the eighty chapters. up.As for "Where does Qing'e's red powder go", this echoes the saying in the eighth chapter of the book, "The bones are full of forgotten surnames, nothing more than the son and the red makeup", which is a great tragic ending.It is impossible for these verses to be the conclusions drawn from reading the book one hundred and twenty times.What's more, if you check the time, these poems existed long before Cheng and Gao printed the 120-back edition.So what Mingyi saw was the full version of Cao Xueqin, and he kept seeing the finale.As for what is "ashamed of Shi Jilun back then"?Red scholars' understanding of this poem is controversial.My personal opinion is this, which means that the ending of the story is too tragic, even more tragic than the incident in history where Shi Chong was killed and Luzhu fell from a building.At that time, Shi Chong was killed, and there was always Lu Zhu who protested by falling from the building, expressing a different voice.However, inside, Jia's mansion "suddenly collapsed like a building", "the family members scattered and rushed", but there was no protest in the style of green beads falling from the building, and finally "a piece of white land was so clean".So, if Shi Chongyin knew about it, he would feel ashamed—who am I!I have always flaunted my wealth and fought for hegemony, and my virtues are limited. When I was overthrown by my political opponents and died unexpectedly, a green pearl jumped off the building for me. Looking at these characters in the movie, they are much better than me. After "the tree fell and the monkeys scattered", but Not a grateful servant dies fiercely in allegiance and protest.When Fucha Mingyi wrote such a poem, his heart should be very sad.

It is worth noting that in the sixty-fourth chapter of Daiyu's "Sorrowful Title Five Beauties", the fourth historical beauty that Daiyu recites is Lvzhu. After the eighty chapters, Cao Xueqin wrote twenty-eight chapters.In the last twenty-eight chapters, what kind of ending will Xue Baochai have?Is she married to Jia Baoyu?The answer is yes.Although Gao E also wrote that Xue Baochai married Jia Baoyu, he wrote that it happened while both Jia Mu and Lin Daiyu were still alive. She lowered her face and felt unfeeling, while Daiyu "burned the manuscript to end infatuation, and her soul returned to Lihentian" in despair.Although that is the best part of Gao E's sequel in Chinese, I still want to point out solemnly: Gao E's writing is completely inconsistent with Cao Xueqin's original intention.

I have analyzed Cao Xueqin's first 80 chapters carefully. On the issue of Baoyu's marriage, Jia's mother's basic position is to protect the "marriage of wood and stone" of Eryu, a pair of "enemies".I also told you earlier that after the "snow cave incident" in Hengwuyuan, it is even more impossible for Jia's mother to change her consistent mind and let Erbao form a "golden marriage". According to my exploration, in the last twenty-eight chapters, the death of Jia's mother will be written first.The death of Jia's mother removed the biggest obstacle for Xue Baochai to marry Jia Baoyu.

After Jia's mother died, Daiyu lost her backing. Not only was she always secretly disgusted and rejected by Mrs. Wang, but she was also plotted by Aunt Zhao—through bribery, she instigated Jiachang and Jia Ling to prepare chronic poison, which made her condition worse and unbearable— ——And the most important thing is that the journey of Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass to return tears for the waiter of Shenying reached the end, Daiyu shed all tears, and she sank into the fairyland.Daiyu disappears automatically, which also removes a trouble for the parents to arrange a "golden jade marriage".

After Jia's mother died, there were no other parents above Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, and Jia Zheng didn't care too much, so Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue's voice was enlarged.Daiyu also went, and Xue Baochai's psychological barrier was also eliminated. "Golden jade marriage" can be described as a matter of course.Of course, since it was the time of grandmother's funeral, the marriage could not be rushed.Mrs. Wang would choose the right time to speak to Jia Zheng, and put forward some high-sounding reasons, such as family affairs are declining day by day, nights are long and dreamy, marrying Baoyu earlier, and comforting the old lady's spirit in heaven.Jia Zheng nodded, declaring that everything should be frugal, and an arranged marriage would be completed. So, after Erbao gets married, what plots will Cao Xueqin write?Zhi Yanzhai clearly told us in the first 80 chapters of comments—that comment, specifically, before the 21st chapter—that there is a chapter after the 80th chapter that reads "Xue Baochai used words to remonstrate with Wang Xifeng Knowing fate and being a strong hero", the first half of the chapter will write about Baochai's remonstrance with Baoyu after she marries Baoyu.Cheng Weiyuan and Gao E didn't like this review, and there was no relevant plot in the notebook they produced.Is it because they haven't seen Zhi Pingben or have they seen deliberate deviation?Worth exploring. As I said a few times ago, about Xue Baochai persuading Jia Baoyu to improve his studies, in the first eighty chapters, Cao Xueqin wrote profiling, explicit writing, and implicit writing, but he didn't write anything positively.After the lecture, a friend from the audience came to me and asked, how is it possible?Cao Xueqin wrote this big book. This major conflict between Baoyu and Baochai's outlook on life is very important. How could he not write it right?I advised her to read the first eighty chapters carefully. No matter what version it is, there is indeed no such a paragraph of text that is being written.Cao Xueqin is very smart, when is he writing?He put it in the last twenty-eight chapters to write.Xue Baochai is already married to Jia Baoyu, and she has the status of a regular wife. She has pinned all the hopes of herself and her family on this husband, and she is going to persuade Jia Baoyu without any scruples. Cao Xueqin also persuades her Jia Baoyu was written as a very important plot and scene. Earlier, in the 21st chapter, he wrote "The Virtuous Attacks the People and Admires Baoyu", and he also wrote about Ping'er, Jia Lian messed with many girls and left a strand of blue hair, which was discovered by Ping'er, and Ping'er Covering him and evading Sister Feng's interrogation is called "Qiao Pinger's soft words to save Jia Lian".Zhiyanzhai has a comment for this review, she said, "This time 'Jiao Chen Zhen Baoyu, soft words to save Jia Lian'", "Later, 'Xue Baochai borrowed words to remonstrate with Wang Xifeng, a hero who knows his fate and is strong'", "Today Starting with the second maid, and then pointing directly at the master." It can be seen that she read the whole book.From the first to the eightieth chapter, there is a chapter called "Xue Baochai's borrowed words contain satire Wang Xifeng, a hero who knows his fate and is strong"?no.It can be seen that the "post" that "post refers directly to its master" refers to after eighty chapters.At that time, Zhi Yanzhai did not estimate that Cao Xueqin’s subsequent manuscripts would be “lost and unscripted”, so she could say that she made such a disclosure very easily, which means that you see that this time it is about two servants, The relationship between them and the master; at the end, I will directly write about the conflict between the relevant master and the master.She is admiring the ingenious layout of Cao Xueqin's whole book, and thinks that in terms of structural arrangement, it is really a big deal to take care of the front and back and progress the conflicts.If Zhiyanzhai could predict that the fate of Cao Xueqin's manuscript would be that the first 80 chapters would be circulated all the time, and the last 28 chapters would be mysteriously "lost", she might have more comments about the last 28 chapters in the first 80 chapters It would be great to disclose and quote! Although the specific text of "Xue Baochai's borrowed words contain irony to Wang Xifeng, a hero who knows his fate and is strong" is lost, but for the content of the first half of the episode, it is not difficult for us to imagine today.It must be that Baoyu said something, and there was some sensitive word in the words. Baochai caught him and beat him with "borrowing words", and he used a sarcastic tone. The purpose, of course, was to persuade him. Don't be ridiculous, follow the right path."So, what exactly did Baoyu say, and which word made Baochai so sensitive and unbearable?I thought it should be a sentence about Daiyu.In the twentieth chapter, there is a comment saying, "When Baoyu and Baochai meet each other in leisure, it is not Daiyu who comes, but Xiangyun. When Wen Cheng and his wife had nothing to talk about their old love, what's the fun?" After Baoyu got married, he "faced to the sky, the snow in the mountains was crystal clear; he never forgot, the lonely forest in the fairyland", although he would respect Baochai, except In addition to the inability to talk about life value orientation, it is not that there is no common language, especially "talking about the past", which should constitute a topic for them. What a delight to chew and savor!Baoyu may have been caught by Baochai when he was in the state of "getting fun" when he was "talking about the past", so he spoke sarcastically and criticized him painfully.At that time, the Jia family was in turmoil, and the opportunity to enjoy the "emperor's grace" with "ancestral virtue" had been lost. The only way out was to pass the imperial examination to obtain fame. Baochai must have been anxious about this. Including her own interests, she will definitely conflict with Baoyu head-on. Although Baoyu is stubborn, she still has to make the last effort.It is conceivable that whether Baochai has "borrowed words" or not, whether "with irony" or "with encouragement", no matter what she says, Baoyu will not listen to her and will resist.So, to what extent will Baoyu resist?This is also discoverable. A comment from Zhiyanzhai in the twenty-first chapter revealed some important plots in the last twenty-eight chapters.This comment says, "Baoyu has the poison that the world can't bear to do, so the following article can 'let go of the cliff' once. If others get Baochai's wife and Sheyue's maidservant, how can they abandon it and become a monk?" A lonely place all my life.” What does this mean?That is to say, the Jia family became more and more declining later on. Under that circumstance, in the end, the girls around Jia Baoyu scattered one after another, and the fate of Xiren was even more strange-the Zhongshun Palace came to name and force, and the Xiren wanted to protect Jia. She sacrificed herself and went there; after she went, after going through some twists and turns, she became the wife of Jiang Yuhan, an actress of Zhongshun Palace. When the person left, he left a sentence, which was also revealed by Zhi Yanzhai's comment, which is called "keep the musk moon anyway".At that time, Jia's mansion was in total decline, and Jia Baoyu's house could only keep one girl in the end, which one to keep?Although Qingwen was dead at that time, there were still some other girls around, Xiren made a promise to "keep Musk Moon anyway".Therefore, in the end, Jia Baoyu was surrounded by one wife and one maidservant.Zhiyanzhai’s comments tell us that if an ordinary man’s wife is Xue Baochai, a great beauty, and so moral, and the only girl around him, who can even become his concubine, is another Musk Moon. It may be mediocre, but how is Musk Moon doing?There is a description earlier in the book, all the other girls in Baoyu's room went out to play, and Jia Baoyu found that Sheyue was alone in the room, so he asked her why she didn't go out to play?Musk Moon said that there are so many lights, you can't go all of them, someone has to take care of them!At this time, Baoyu had a psychological reaction—blatantly another attacker, because Xiren's care for Baoyu was called careful service and fine sex, which was hard to say for the other girls.Just like Qingwen, usually she doesn’t take horizontal needles or vertical lines, she is very willful and lazy, but after Baoyu Que Jinqiu burned a hole, out of a kind of love for Jia Baoyu, she struggled with illness Bravely make up for the bird's golden fur.Some other girls also have this and that kind of problem, they are not thoughtful, but Sheyue is tantamount to a substitute for Xiren.Therefore, when the attacker left, he told Baoyu that no one else could stay, but if you keep one, you should keep Musk Moon anyway.After eighty chapters, Musk Moon was indeed kept.In that episode, although the political status of the Jia family is on the verge of collapse and the economic situation is on the verge of collapse, after all, Baoyu should be very satisfied with a wife like Baochai and a concubine like Sheyue.However, Baoyu gave up on a precipice.What is "letting go on a cliff"?To put it bluntly, it is to run away from home and become a monk.Therefore, Zhi Yanzhai said that Baoyu has a so-called "poison of extreme emotion" that the world cannot do. Baoyu's behavior is too remote, too rare, and his personality is too weird.How many times has Jia Baoyu been out of the house?In the first eighty chapters, there were subdued lines, and Cao Xueqin's brushwork is like this.Some people always don't believe it, saying how tiring it is to write a novel like that?Cao Xueqin's novel was exhausting to write. He himself said, "Ten years of hard work are extraordinary", and "every word seems to be full of blood", he wrote it with painstaking efforts.Some authors write very lightly, there are works that don't take painstaking efforts, the world is so big, and there are all kinds of things.Not all novels have to be analyzed in this way, but Cao Xueqin's, he wrote it in this way, it uses a lot of volts and lines in detail. In the thirty-first chapter, Lin Daiyu went to Jia Baoyu's place, Baoyu, Xiren, and Qingwen, they were bickering there, talking back and forth, Xiren said in a fit of anger that he was dead, but Daiyu said by the way, I would cry when you died Die, Baoyu continued, I will become a monk after you die.At this time, Daiyu stretched out two fingers, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I have become two monks. From now on, I will remember what happened to you as a monk." This is the foreshadowing, which shows that later Baoyu became a monk twice.The first time should be after Xue Baochai's "excuse words with irony", because this conflict is too great. Although you are my wife, you are also quite virtuous, and you have raised your eyebrows, but in the end it is "difficult to appease"-if you want to talk about love, Baoyu still only loves Daiyu in his heart. The marriage that Baoyu yearns for is to marry Daiyu as his wife. His eternal love for Daiyu and his rejection of other women as wives have reached the point of "poison"—you Although Baochai has the so-called "virtue of stopping", I still reject it except sighing.What is the "virtue of stopping"?In ancient times, there was a Leyangzi who had a deep love for his wife. He went out to study, but because he missed his wife, he returned home halfway.As soon as he entered the door, his wife was weaving there, and she was very angry when she saw him come back suddenly.His wife thinks that he should persist in his studies and strive to become an official. How can he give up halfway and come back home?The wife of Leyangzi took out a knife at that time, cut the woven cloth completely, and broke the silk.What's the meaning?It's me who breaks it off with you.According to ancient records, Le Yangzi was very moved at the time, and hurriedly went out to study, and later, he became an official.Xue Baochai has the "virtue of stopping" like Leyangzi's wife, but what Baoyu hates most is this kind of feudal orthodox thing, so he conflicted with her and ran away from home, probably going to Wutai Mountain. This is the first time Baoyu "Let go on the cliff". After Baoyu let go of the cliff this time, he returned to Rongguo Mansion not long after.Is there any basis for saying this?There is.Among the first 80 chapters, 18 chapters wrote about the concubine Yuan visiting relatives.Concubine Yuan ordered four plays when visiting relatives, one of which was "Fate of the Immortals". Regarding the play "Fate of the Immortals", Zhi Yanzhai had a comment saying "Fu Zhen Baoyu sends jade", she said it very simply.Later generations of researchers have interpreted this sentence differently.Some said that Jia Baoyu might have lost the psychic gem, and Zhen Baoyu found the psychic gem and sent it back to Jia Baoyu. This is also a reasonable guess.My personal opinion is: it was the first time that Jia Baoyu resigned from a cliff to become a monk. During the process, he met Zhen Baoyu.Zhen Baoyu has experienced a lot of ups and downs and blows of fate at this time.The Zhen family was hit earlier than the Jia family. At the beginning of the seventy-fifth chapter, it was written that You Shi was helping with affairs in the Rongguo Mansion, and said that he wanted to go to Mrs. Wang's room, but the followers told him not to go.Why don't you go?Said that some women came to Zhen's house, their complexions were not good, and they also brought some things.You Shi said that Jia Zhen saw the mansion newspaper, and the fact that the Zhen family was confiscated by the emperor had been announced. The Zhen family obviously sent people to the Rongguo Mansion to send their belongings. This is against the law of the king, and the Rongguo Mansion has also been involved. Right and wrong went.The Zhen family's confiscation book was straightforward. Mrs. Wang had to report to Jia's mother no matter how hard she opened her mouth. Jia's mother didn't like to hear it.Zhen Baoyu's family was ruined before Jia Baoyu.As a result, Baoyu ran into Zhen Baoyu on his way to Wutai Mountain to become a monk.Zhen Baoyu told him that the real enlightenment is not in form, not in running away from home to become a formal monk, so "Zhen Baoyu gives jade", the "jade" sent is Jia Baoyu, that is, Baoyu is sent back to the capital, Sent back to Rongguo Mansion. In the first eighty chapters, Zhen Baoyu was only mentioned in the second chat between Jia Yucun and Leng Zixing Country Hotel, and in the fifty-sixth chapter, and appeared in Jia Baoyu's dream. Some people think that it is just a shadow of Jia Baoyu set up by the author, not a specific artistic image.But after Zhi Yanzhai saw it eighty times, she knew everything. In the second time, she told us that "Zhen Family's Treasure Yu is the one who didn't write in the first half", so it can be seen that it was written in the second half.Although the characters of Zhen and Jia Baoyu are intended to be internal and external memories of each other, it is judged that Zhen Baoyu is always just a "shadow", but it does not conform to Cao Xueqin's conception. His core plot is "send jade".Jia Baoyu only had "marriage between wood and stone" in his heart and rejected "marriage with gold and jade". But after all, Daiyu had already sunk into the lake, and Baochai had become his wife. Then, a very important problem arose. The two of them had a child. Yet?Gao E's continuation said that although Baoyu became a monk and never returned, Baochai was pregnant before he disappeared, and later gave birth to a son named Jia Gui. There is a big difference in age between Jia Gui and Jia Gui, but they are all grandsons of Jia Zheng in the Rongguo Mansion.Gao E’s way of writing is obviously absurd, because from the overall design, it is very organized, that is, the older generation of the Jia family, Ning Guogong and Rong Guogong, are the generations of generation characters, Jia Daihua and Jia Daishan; Shengsheng's sons are from the literary generation, Jia She and Jia Zheng in the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Jing in the Ningguo Mansion, and a dead Jia Fu. Even their daughters are named according to the literary generation. Daiyu's mother is Jia Min; The reborn son of the character generation is the jade character generation. Jia Baoyu doesn’t care about the jade character side because he directly used jade, and the others are all a jade character side—now some people are used to calling it the king character side, because that point is omitted , it also makes sense——Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Huan, Jia Cong and the dead Jia Zhu are directly related, and the collateral ones are Jia Rui, Jia Huang, Jia Qiong, etc.; , that’s a lot, the first is Jia Rong and Jia Lan (note: “Lan” is a simplification of the traditional Chinese character “Lan”), followed by Jia Qiang, Jia Chang, Jia Ling, Jia Ping? ?A long list can be made.Therefore, according to the rules established by the Jia clan, if Baoyu and Baochai give birth to a son, it should also be named with a cursive initials.Even if Baoyu becomes a monk and cuts off the vulgar relationship and ignores it, then, think about it, Xue Baochai is a person who most abides by feudal ethics. How can she break the Jia family's genealogical regulations after marrying her? Instead of giving your son a name with cursive characters, why not choose a name with wooden characters?Gao E's writing is really absurd. In order to conform to the allusion of "Langui Qifang", which means that all descendants of the family will be rich and honored, he blatantly ignored the Jia clan ranking rules that Cao Xueqin had always run through. In fact, after Baoyu and Baochai were married by their parents, whether they had a normal sex life is a question worth exploring.If in Cao Xueqin's last twenty-eight chapters, it was written that they belonged to a sexless marriage, then it would be even more ridiculous for Gao E to fabricate a "posthumous child" Jia Gui.The Fucha Mingyi I mentioned earlier, among his 20 poems "A Dream of Red Mansions", the seventeenth one is written like this: "Young man in brocade clothes, Zhuo Lanya, the beauty in pink is not broken. You may as well share the same room, There are many tents for the dream soul." The interpretation of the content of this poem has always been controversial.One explanation is that "Lanya" describes a young man with a good figure and appearance, and "Zhuolanya" is such a young man who is thriving; Did not reach the age of sixteen (the premise of this explanation is that the word "melon" is composed of the two characters "ten" and "six"); combined with the last two sentences, it is describing the nineteenth chapter. Going to the jade room, the two of them were lying on the couch and talking, "the jade is fragrant in the quiet day".However, when the episode in Chapter 19 happened, Daiyu was still very young, probably not even twelve years old, so why use "unbroken melon" to describe her?How can a young girl like that be called "Pretty in Pink" if she doesn't "open her face" at all (in the past, women used thin thread to wring the hair off their face before they got married)? "Pretty in Pink" should be a modified name for the bride.I do not agree with such an explanation.Now I offer my personal opinion for your reference. "Jinyi Gongzi Zhuolanya", I think "Lanya" is an elegant name for male genitalia, "Zhuolanya" means that the sexual organs have matured, "Jinyi Gongzi" is of course Jia Baoyu, Baoyu is married, his There is no problem with sexual ability, but what about the relationship between their husband and wife?They did not live a normal married life, making "Pretty in Pink not broken". "Pretty in Pink" refers to Xue Baochai who has become a new bride and daughter-in-law. "Unbroken" means that she is still a virgin. "Pogua" has such a meaning in the past. "Lanya" and "Pogua" are euphemisms used in sexual matters. Of course, some people may still think it is vulgar, thinking how can poetry use such words into sentences?However, in the past when literati wrote poems, it was not uncommon for them to use such words into poems.Then the meaning of the last two sentences will become clear, that is to say, the young couple have reached a tacit understanding. Although they are asexual, they can sleep together in the same bed. , but now they are locked in the same tent, and Menghun is also caught by the tent.我认为富察明义他是看了后二十八回以后,在这首诗里概括出二宝婚后的状况。他等于在告诉你,宝玉最后虽然娶了如此美貌的佳人,但是他却没有那方面的欲望;宝钗虽然实现了自己的愿望,嫁给自己所爱的男人,但是也只能忍受活寡般的处境。当然,你也可以理解成当时还处在贾母的丧期,根据封建道德规范,他们可成就婚事,但是暂不圆房。二宝之间既然并无性生活,哪里会生出孩子来呢?再往细里琢磨,“梦魂多个帐儿纱”,也可能是形容宝玉虽然跟宝钗睡在一个帐子里,但他梦牵魂绕的还是潇湘馆里的林妹妹,他在梦中经常回到潇湘馆,多出一个里面有林妹妹合目安睡的“帐儿纱”来。 在后二十八回里,宝玉不仅梦萦潇湘馆,他也身体力行地回到潇湘馆去缅怀黛玉,这也是可以找到根据的。第二十六回,曹雪芹通过宝玉的眼光,用了八个字来形容潇湘馆:“凤尾森森,龙吟细细”。在这个地方,脂砚斋就有一个批语,她说“与后文'叶萧萧落,寒烟漠漠'一对”——前后各八个字,构成一个对子——“可伤可叹”。“叶萧萧落,寒烟漠漠”应该就是后二十八回里,贾宝玉再到荒废的潇湘馆时,目击到的惨状。那应该构成一段凄楚的情节。薛宝钗嫁给了贾宝玉,却没有正常的夫妻生活,更不要说宝玉心里总怀念着黛玉。宝钗在许多方面都算得一个达观的人,没有性生活,也罢,今后可以过继一个儿子好好抚养;宝玉思念黛玉,理解——其实她对黛玉何尝没有思念之情呢?她可以舍弃很多,但有一条万万不可舍弃,那就是效法乐羊子妻,发扬“停机之德”,劝贾宝玉读书上进,为家族,为她,去通过科举考试谋求到功名。但是,她“借词含讽谏”,宝玉竟一跺脚,出家去了。虽然被甄宝玉劝解,送回来了,两个人依然貌合神离。那么,薛宝钗最后究竟怎么样了呢?她应该是在绝望中,抑郁中,悲惨地死去。她死去后贾府彻底崩溃,宝玉被逮入狱,又经过许多曲折的经历,终于第二次悬崖撒手,真正在心灵里达到了出世的顿悟。 对于宝钗的这个结局,我不知道你是什么样的心情,我想起来心里还是很难过的。你不要去责备她,说她一生忠于封建规范。大家知道贾宝玉有一次过生日,那是第六十三回,“寿怡红群芳开夜宴”,大家玩抽签的游戏,薛宝钗抽了一支什么签呢?“任是无情也动人”,说她艳冠群芳,是一朵牡丹花。她确实称得上是牡丹花啊,华美、富丽;她无情,是被那个社会压抑成的,因为那个社会的主流意识形态、主流价值观念,要求闺中女子只能够去做针线活,不能读“邪书”,要听家长的指示,不能够感情外露,她吞食冷香丸,拼命熄灭灵魂深处本原的爱欲热情。她那牡丹之美,宝玉并不是无动于衷,看到她面若银盘、眼如水杏,是动过心的;看到她娇羞怯怯摆弄衣带,也是动过心的;见到她雪白的酥臂,更是动过心的。这样一个美艳的女子,她努力追求幸福,她克服了很多的障碍,终于嫁给了宝玉这个公子,完成了“金玉姻缘”,但是她最后什么都没有得到,没有得到宝玉的心,更丧失了宝玉的身。在贾府大崩溃前,薛宝钗抑郁而亡,这在第五回的判词里面是有明确交代的。金陵十二钗正册的那个册页第一页上,林黛玉怎么画的我们不去说了,现在咱们讲的是薛宝钗,“金簪雪里埋”。有的“红迷”朋友跟我讨论过,说为什么不写“金钗雪里埋”呢?簪跟钗有什么区别呢?簪跟钗是同一种东西,都是过去古代妇女用来别头发的装饰品。单股的叫簪,双股称钗。金簪就是用一根金子做成的针状或者条状的簪子;把两根金子、两根金针或者两根金条并列在一起,或者把它们麻花一般地拧在一起,作为头上的插饰,叫做钗。所以,这个地方曹雪芹他是故意要这样写的。什么叫做“金簪雪里埋”?多悲惨啊!她一生希望自己能够成就“金玉姻缘”,可是她最后是孤零零死去的。钗还是两股,簪却只是一根,她应该是死在一个大雪纷飞的日子。贾宝玉显然并不在她身边。请记住,在册页里面,曹雪芹故意要写成“金簪雪里埋”。这朵牡丹花就如此凄惨地告别了人世。 我曾在前面亮明一个观点,就是贾宝玉一生当中有四个女子对他是最重要的。我已经讲过了其中的妙玉,讲过了林黛玉,又讲完了薛宝钗,还剩一位是谁呢?就是史湘云。下面,我会给大家讲到史湘云。我将从哪里讲起呢?我现在就提出一个问题:里面对林黛玉的出场,它是有很多铺垫,很多交代的;对薛宝钗的出场,也是这样做的;妙玉的出场,虽然是暗出,是通过一个仆人向王夫人介绍她的情况说出来的,但是交代得也很详细。那么,史湘云的出场是怎么写的呢?关于她,有些什么交代呢?下一讲,咱们就从这个问题开始讨论。
