Chapter 15 Fourteenth Novel Interlude

After "Unfinished", Zhang Ailing followed up with an "Interlude of a Dream of Red Mansions".She said that she was making some supplements to the previous article.Looking at its content, it is to explore the relationship between Gao E's concubine Wanjun and why Li demotes Xiren in the sequel, with the theme of Xiren. This topic is really new.Why did she set this question?It turned out that the intention was still to maintain that the old assertion that Gao was the false continuator was credible. Of course, she didn't talk about the story first, but the pseudo-continuation first, and the order was a bit strange.If you understand his mentality, maybe it is because he loves the original work so much, so we must first clarify the bad influence of the false continuation, so that we can talk about the original work in the following.

She quoted some other people's research on Gao E's "Yanxiang Ci" about a concubine (a prostitute who has left a brothel), named "Wan Jun", who is very lingering and old, so there are some It seems to be similar to Xiren's later remarriage to Jiang Yuhan, so she channeled her own "feelings" into Cao Xueqin's book... This speculation is quite thought-provoking. But although her idea is new, it is a pity that the argument seems incomplete, leaving people with doubts. For example, Eileen Chang gave me the impression that the continuation book is trying to vilify and attack people, and never let it go, adding "revised" new words and sentences whenever the opportunity arises.She pointed out that after Baoyu's "sleepwalking", he had a "stealth test" with Xi. up.But when it came to "Yiben", the "and" was changed to "forced pull", and the article: "The attacker has been tweaking for a long time..." is added below!

——I suddenly recalled: When I was young, I listened to records. There was Mei Lanfang's "Jun Xiren" with the anti-second-reed Adagio singing, Huqin and so on. , lazily opened almond eyes, swayed, swayed, and swayed forward." At that time, I always wondered: How could Xiren be so "ugly"?Puzzling! (In the early years, Mr. Mei compiled new plays of "Red Mansion", such as "Daiyu's Burial of Flowers", and also used "Wang Ning Mei" to sing a large part of the song). Ms. Zhang pointed out today that she knew it was a "processed" special pen based on "Ben".

It's disgusting! Let’s get back to the original question: If Gao E secretly “joined” his concubine Wanjun and Xiren as she said, it would be strange—since Gao Jinshi vilified Xiren, how could he use Xiren to insinuate What about Mr. Wan? She didn't explain this logic clearly. She analyzed Gao's poems again: "When I get old, the style is reduced, and the sun sleeps high in the thousands of flowers. I hugged Chang'e moon last night, and realized the light and free Zen." She thought it was a metaphor, referring to the fact that she had just won a Jinshi. Gui".

I don't think so.It is "dangerous" to interpret poetry in this way.The first two sentences are about "style", that is, the affairs of men and women, and "ten thousand flowers" are all her.Because I am "old", I am not as obsessed with it as I was when I was young, but last night I suddenly "hugged" a new "Chang'e in the Moon", so I "enlightened" into a new "realm". I always feel that this has nothing to do with Xinzhong Jinshi. Gao E's words are frivolous and frivolous, and his attitude towards women is very bad. He and Xueqin are completely two kinds of people, two spiritual worlds, so the sequel spoils the original work everywhere.Zhang Ailing always refuses to reveal the problems when she speaks, and only lists the phenomena without discussing the essence-this may be her transcendence.

The poem says: Frivolous and obscene, trampling on flowers and humiliating women to continue the red building. Aileen is always kind-hearted, so why not utter any criticism?
