Chapter 30 Chapter 29 Exploring Spring·Red Apricots

In Zhang Ailing's "Five Details", there is a textual research that Tanchun later named "Princess Xingyuan". This statement comes from a "Sanliuqiao (name of Qing people, Sanduo, word Liuqiao)" quoted in my book, in which there is a plot of "Xingyuan Hefan" after Tanchun. This is what (the late) Zhang Qixiang said when he listened to the lecture of the Japanese professor Tatsuo Kodama. He once saw a different version of the Sanliuqiao Collection. The Japanese cannot speak Chinese, so they wrote simple sign words in Chinese on the blackboard, and they were talking about Tanchun. At that time, the four characters "Xingyuanhefan" were written.

This was originally an analogy.It uses the story in the novel "Sandu Mei", Xingyuan's surname is Chen.When I was young, I often heard my mother say these four characters without Chen characters.In the old days, this was a well-known story, and folk drums also played and sang this passage. Kodama is saying that in the different version, Tanchun married a fan king (waifan, the old dynasty was called a "minority" of a country or a minority), just like Chen Xingyuan. "Harmony" refers to the marriage between the imperial court and the tribe and to live in harmony.

Zhang Ailing's words seem to refer to this.However, the words of "conferring the title of Princess Xingyuan" are combined with the apricot blossoms that "the red apricots are planted by the sun and leaning on the clouds" raised by Tanchunhua's famous wine. I wonder if it is appropriate? The princess is the emperor's daughter; the prince's daughter is called "the princess".It can only be said that the emperor recognized his daughter as Tanchun.Do you know if there is such a system? In fact, Xiangyun’s tooth card order has long said: Yuanyang proclaimed, “There are still four in the middle”, Xiangyun said: “Red apricots are planted against the clouds by the sun”, well, the red dot is like the sun; four, also four The red dot is also called red apricot.Mosi is paired with two "land cards" on the left and right - that is, "Changme" in the book, with two red dots each making up nine red dots, hence the name "Cherry Ripe Early".And Xiangyun Fang said: "The imperial garden was taken out by a bird."

It can be seen that Xiangyun also fell into the royal family - but this was the "Kunqian Court" of "Double Hanging Sun and Moon Shining on the Universe" by Hong Xi, the eldest son of Kangxi Prince Yinreng, and the imperial garden of the "Shadow Court" that plotted to overthrow Qianlong. That is to say, Ms. Zhang only reads Tanchun's postscript, but not Xiangyun's several times complicated postscript experience. One is sensitive, the other is insensitive, why?Because of this, she took the plot of Xiangyun in Xueqin's original book too "linear logic" and simplified it, so many levels were unclear, so she judged the true feelings of the "old authentic version" too much. Simple, obvious, shallow.

If, as she analyzed, the "authentic version" and the "variant version" are not one kind of records, but many different ones, then it is like the 120 chapters of the continuation books after the pseudo-full version is published, and there are also many kinds (concentrated in the Jiaqing period).In other words, that situation should have occurred shortly after the eighty chapters of the manuscript were published—it should have been in the middle of Qianlong.Otherwise, the 120 chapters of the book have already been published, and everyone has continued to continue it, being deceived by it (self-righteously continuing the "full version"), and it has become popular all over the world. How can there be so many "true" and "different" versions? ?

These suspicious cases will be resolved wisely. The poem says: It's not surprising to explore the red apricots in spring. I saw Xianggu recite it early. It's not a lie to get out of the royal garden, who knows how many twists and turns?
