Chapter 24 Psalm 23 How to Read Poetry

Daiyu How does Eileen Chang read poetry? Before the twenty-first chapter of "Gengchen Ben", there was a single-page inscription with seven rhythms and eight sentences. The poem goes: Self-holding the golden spear and holding the sword, killing each other and fighting for each other. Mr. Qiansha loves infinitely, and Mr. Zhiyan hates him so much. It is a fantasy or a vacuum, and it is in vain to chant in the wind and the moon. The love machine turns so badly that the sky is broken, and it's up to me if I don't love it. The author of the title said: This poem has the most true feelings and true meaning, but it is a pity that it loses its name-it is also an excuse to avoid it.

Zhang Ailing believes that after the eighty chapters, the original book is Jia Huan harming Baoyu and vying for "hereditary" official titles. The first two lines of the poem refer to this: my family fights and hurts each other. In this case, the first two sentences will be alone. How can the following "Cheng" couplet become "Zhuan"?Turn to the feelings of the son and the hatred of the critics?The next one is Li Meng, chanting in vain—this has nothing to do with the first couplet. Especially when I read the couplet, it is an imitation of Xiang Yu's "Gai Xia Song" "Yu Xi Yu Xi Nairuo [you] what!", which means: The author Xueqin describes himself as "loveless" (comments in "Love List" ), "What will you do with (treat, describe) me now?"

The last six sentences of the whole article are "love" and related exclamations. What does this have to do with brothers "fighting against the wall" and competing for "crown belt" and "furniture property"? She just didn't want to—or insisted that those two sentences were metaphors, such as Xueqin's pain in writing a book, writing about herself, writing about herself, like self-tackling, revealing the truth, not covering up "family ugliness" and "privacy", including My own obsessions and whimsy also include laughing at myself.

The so-called "autobiography" theory refers to this meaning, not "writing steles" or "making history"-that is a misunderstanding, and what does it have to do with "autobiography"? She didn't know how to compare the seven laws before the "Jiaxu Version" with this—— Floating life is very hard to run, and the grand feast of flowers is finally over. Sorrows and joys are like illusions, ancient and modern dreams are all absurd. It is said that the red sleeves have heavy crying marks, and there is even more love and hatred. Every word seems to be full of blood, ten years of hard work is unusual.

I don't think it needs to be too wordy. People with a discerning eye will realize that this has the same connotation when they see it, but the way of writing has changed slightly. "Empty experience" means "same illusion"; "Yin in vain" means "completely absurd".What's more: Mr. Qiansha is the author of the "love insane" Xueqin; "Mr. Zhiyan" is the poet "Red Sleeve".All words have obvious meanings, so those who know can explain themselves.That "sir" and that "old man" are all "smoke screens" set up to hide their identities! "What can I do?" Zhi Yannv's self-referencing.

Zhang Ailing, a person of great wisdom, did not fall into "using words to harm meaning" through "words". "Mr. Qiansha" is a person in the book, and "Mr. Zhi Yan" is a person "outside" the book—can you tell them apart? "Literally" is "divided". If you take it seriously, wouldn't you be too stupid? It can be seen that in the idea of ​​"one celery and one fat" of the two writers and critics, the "middle" of the book and the "outside" of the book are all metaphors for each other—the biggest unique point lies in this uniqueness. Or "extremely special"!

However, people just want to eliminate the unique features of this book, and try their best to pull towards "generalization", as if there will be no such thing, and it will not be allowed.Even Eileen Chang "was not exempt". She said in an essay: Read it as an autobiography, his biography or co-biography, but don't treat it as a novel! The words are quite emotional, laughing at the stupidity of the world and the idiocy of studying books. However, she made it clear that Sheyue is really the only "real person" who stays with Cao Xueqin [note: not "Baoyu"]!

You see: Is it good or not?Who will "research" on Ms. Ailing's behalf how she subconsciously "divides" who Mr. Qiansha refers to? The poem says: Qian Sazhiyan is the word for the words, and the red sleeves are infatuated with no doubt. It is useless to think of the talented woman Fei Lingsi if she does not learn the wonderful truth from it.
