Chapter 11 Chapter Ten

One book, containing seven articles, the title of the first article is "The Dream of Red Mansions is Unfinished". Xueqin's book is not yet finished, and consensus and common sense have long been reached. Why wait for Ms. Zhang to add further arguments? ——Wrong question, she did not formally demonstrate this "unfinished" from the beginning at all.Her thinking and writing habits are also different from common "red studies" papers.The differences are: First, the basic concepts and meanings of the right words are not given a standardized position, and they are vague. It seems that they do not "care about" the original works of the 80 chapters and the pseudo-continuations of the 40 chapters, "both are".

Second, "unfinished" is the author's unfinished work?Or is the existing copy incomplete?There is no clear text to say a word.Third, since it is "unfinished", why bother to study the "completed" of the current 120 chapters? Fourth, why did Cao Xueqin "unfinished"?How did the current "completed" happen and arise?Did not speak. Fifth, since the 120 chapters of "Quanbi" are popular, does this count as "Complete"?If not, how can it be considered "finished"? There is nothing to explain. The major premise is "omitted".

Then, if you want to peek a little from her pen, what is the main "unfinished" content of her discussion?Don't even think about finding it. She didn't talk about "unfinished", but talked about the various situations of the last forty chapters of "finished"! She seems to be saying: those "completed" are all fake, and only by exposing all the fake, can we hope to "return the fake to the real"—and then investigate the "true unfinished" things. If you are not clear about the "reason" and "method", just reading this first article will make you feel like you are in a fog, which is really called "the sky is dark and the earth is dark". You can't "bear it" after reading only a few pages. Throwing the book and sighing.

Ms. Zhang's article is very interesting. Not long after it was written, the "theme" is about to focus on "three-inch golden lotus".This amazed me. How could she, who is a "Modern lady", pay so much attention to this topic?After discussing a long chapter, including clothing and make-up, I knew that she wanted to determine who the characters in the book were with natural feet and who had bound feet. From this, it seems that the person who continued the book deliberately made the "full" book full of human beings (or full of human beings). vulgarization), and judge whether it is consistent with Gao E's "Han Army" status....

She studied it for a long time, and also admitted that the Cao family was originally half full of women and half full of Han, and there were also some with bound feet and some with big feet.But she is very attached to the word "golden lotus". Juyou Sanjie and Ju Qingwen wear "sleep shoes", and "Furong 诔" has a sentence "lotus petals are silent", etc.The detail is astounding. Of course, if you want to "raise the bar", in fact, "Golden Lotus" is just a borrowed term referring to a woman's feet.The real "Golden Lotus" is tightly wrapped into a pointed bamboo shoot shape, and the toes are pressed under the bottom, which has shrunk and deformed, and has long since become a "petal". Nothing involved...If you pick out the words alone, there will be misunderstandings.

The words should be concise: she cited a large number of word examples and sentence examples to illustrate the signs of "full vulgarization". People "worship", feel ashamed and beyond reach! Looking at myself, I can't compare with others, not even a few percent.Because I can't read or stand even the last forty chapters of a book!What's more, three notebooks are needed for careful proofreading!Then I will be tortured to death (note)! Her heart is as thin as a silk, it can be said that it has become as thin as a hair.She remembers the different texts of this book like a computer—her writing and reasoning are "eyebrows and beards" together, and she doesn't bother to "analyze" like a thesis, making you dizzy.I read it (actually listening and reading) and said with a smile: If this kind of article is in the eyes of critics, it must be an out-and-out "complex research".Even if others are willing to be "complex" and "trivial", they can't match it!

She didn't talk about how "unfinished", but who and how to continue the book. Based on her textual research and speculation, there are three different editions of the last forty chapters, the original edition, the revised edition, and the revised edition. "Revision" refers to small changes and large changes, from one or two characters to a large paragraph.The original tantra and the revised tantra are not created by one person.Flaws, loopholes, contradictions...there are so many ridiculous things. But she is good at not only pointing out such tedious and boring "revisions", but also explaining the psychological activities of the continuation bookmakers for it.

She is not sure who the continuation and cultivator are, but at the end of the article, she is clearly inclined to judge that Gao E is an important person. She asked a lot of relevant questions.Such as: Whose concubine is Yuanchun?Why did the continuation cleanse Jia Zhen and others of their scandals?And why do you particularly spoil the attackers?What is Miaoyu's ending like?So what about Sister Feng? ... ——Perhaps this is the way she said "unfinished"? Is she not too fond of making positive comments and "closing words"? The poem says: Suo Suo talked to Xi Bisi, who would continue to have a lot of doubts.

Unorganized and unreasonable, she has a style of her own, and the strange girl is full of thought and writing. (Note) Once, Huayi Publishing House invited Wang Meng, Cong Weixi, Zong Pu, Liu Xinwu, etc. to a panel discussion, and I was the last speaker.On the spot, I said these two sentences to these famous scholars: "I can't read the last forty chapters of Gao Exu. If you force me to read it, it will be the greatest mental torture for me."
