Chapter 21 Chapter 20 still admits autobiography

The second part of Zhang Ailing's third "Detailed" is mostly about "Demolition and Reform"; the last part enters the scope of "Exploring Lost Learning (after eighty chapters)", which is quite noteworthy and is the essence of this "Detailed" chapter part.Of course, there are still problems, we should not blame "perfect", generally good articles. "Demolition and reform theory", "separation method", etc. are still her main "creations" of concern, and she spends the most space.As a hypothesis, we readers have no right to say "No", we should express our opinions; what we can do is to express some opinions for discussion on the "key points" in order to seek public discussion at present or in the future.

Xueqin's works, which are regarded as "classical" and "classic" works today, were completely "modern novels" in Qianlong's year, so they caused a "sensation".I also use "fashion" as an analogy for this modern new product: everything from the overall design to the specific production, style, size, etc., will not be done in detail, let alone digging a hole here and there. Mend a nail, cut the front, and embroider the cuffs; change the front (cover the right side), open the front, and so on. As a result, this fashion has become a waste product—because it is not good-looking, and it is not a "finished product", no one likes to wear it, let alone the world It's popular.

For example, a musk moon, according to Ms. Zhang's "detailed" method, is extremely troublesome. She said that Baoyu Sheyue faced the mirror grate, and the early draft was not Muskyue, but Xiaohong.She mistakenly believed other people's untrue words, and the "basis" was only one of the twenty poems titled "Red" by Ming Yi. The poem said: Lianqiang quietly controls the golden hook, not knowing where many people are swimming. Leaving Xiaohong to sit alone, laughing and teaching to open the mirror and comb her hair. When they saw it, they insisted on "discovering": Look, it was Xiaohong, not Musk Moon!Ha, what a novelty—a big harvest for Hongxue!

Is that the case? First, among the 20 poems in Mingyi, there is absolutely no other example that can be attached to a real person's name in the book, all of which are false names or "no names". Second, the sentence "stay..." can only be used in flat tones according to the law, but "红月" can't be in line with the law. Therefore, poets in Tang and Song Dynasties have always used "Xiaohong" to refer to maids in general. My book Examples have been given; "Xiaohong" is like "plum fragrance", "winter plum", "chunxiang" and "chunhua" that are common in opera novels, so Fangguan and Aunt Zhao made a big fuss, protesting the words of "fantou" (prostitute) At that time, he said: "Mei Xiang worships the handle—it's all slaves (female)!"

It's all for others, but let them pretend to be smart and talk nonsense; Zhang Ailing has no knowledge of poetry and blindly followed fallacies, which makes me feel sorry.I would like to ask: Since Ms. Zhang thinks that Xiaohong (Hongyu) is Qingwen's "clone" and "incarnation", then the so-called early draft is that Baoyu combed Xiaohong's hair, and Qingwen went back to the house to collect money, and separated Lian eavesdropped on the "private discussion" between the two, so how should the article be written? Sheyue is steady and reticent, so she is in contrast to Qingwen; How to arrange?What's so exciting about it?Ms. Writer, please try to "restore" the "draft" to open our eyes, can it be made?

In the first month of the lunar year, the maids are "on holiday", and they go to find their aunts and sister-in-laws. They play dice and wipe cards as a play. Who would like to sit and "stay behind"?There are only Xi and Musk, and Xi is not at home, and Musk is the first choice-how can Xiaohong be "suitable" for this position? From what I see, I can't find any reason to support this weird theory, and I can't appreciate and agree. Because of the mention of Musk Moon, let me add a few words by the way—— Sheyue is the only reliable person who can help Baoyu "live on her own" and Xiren told Baoyu to "keep Muskyue anyway".Even Ms. Zhang, a writer who advocated "creation [that is, fiction] not autobiography", even explicitly admitted that Musk Moon was a "real person" and the only one who remained with Xueqin. [Note: She has actually "identified" Xueqin and Baoyu, but what she said was "not an autobiography", which is wonderful! ] But when she read Zhiyue and said that Musk Moon was still by her side, "leisurely speechless", and felt hurt for Jing, she didn't realize that this critic was Xueqin's "bride" assistant. The scholar Zhiyan.It was Zhiyan who said that Sheyue was still around, and couldn't help recalling the scenes written in the book, but he used the alias of Zhiyan's later period as "Wat" and was a man "elder"-he was the old man who "rightly" lived with Sheyue, and "Sad to the scene"!

Weird!Strange! Here, please see Zhang Ailing's textual research thinking logic is precise or chaotic? —— On the first level, she has admitted that Baoyu Liusheyue (Xueqin's incarnation of Yiying) was ordered by Xiren before leaving, and it is a real person. On the second floor, she saw that the author of this batch no longer signed Zhiyan but changed it to "Wat", but she didn't realize that it was still a matter of women's boudoir, and the change of signature was a smoke screen, but she said that it was another person, an elder man "old man" ", and Musk Moon actually came to "him" again, "leisurely without a word", and made the old man "feel sad for Jing"!May I ask: What is this old man right about?What are you hurting?The critic originally said that at this moment, seeing Sheyue still sitting beside her, silently accompanying her, recalling the past and the past written in Xueqin's book, she couldn't help looking at the scene (Muskinyue used to guard the lights alone on the first moon night...); if " Elder old man", how did he know about his affairs in the boudoir?What is there to do?What hurt again?

She didn't pay attention to such a simple reasoning, and she didn't give an explanation, and she didn't understand this "abnormal wat". disaster. Then I knew: real people and real things, when Eileen Chang used it to help her "reason", she admitted it without doubt; when her "reason" was useless and not beneficial, she changed her words to "it's creation, not autobiography". I thought of Xin Jiaxuan's words: "Go as soon as you call, and come again when you call." What kind of "principle" can there be in this, what is it other than "do whatever you want" and "take what you need"?

Just this one question is so "complicated", which shows that her "Redology" views may not be true in every sentence.If we discuss them one by one, it will be more cumbersome and entangled, and no one wants to read these—no wonder people say "Redology" is a "nightmare". The poem says: How does musk moon replace Xiaohong, and gourd case entangles the wind. There are benefits to being smart, and the same goes for Maid Meixiang.
