Chapter 33 Chapter 32 Strange Words Are Surprising

Reading Zhang Ailing's book up to "Five Details", I feel that this is her article that ends "Testing Red". No matter from which angle, it is indeed more important and rare to discuss and appreciate. The purpose of "Five Details" is to examine the "old authentic version".On this theme, careless people only think that she is making a big comment on the credibility of this "authentic manuscript". In fact, the true core essence here is still compared with Xueqin's original work and Gao E's pseudo-continuation. Qin, Chu and Xiang, Liu.If you forget this point, you can't talk about understanding her or evaluating her.

In this "conclusion", the first is that she captures the three women for whom the author Cao Xueqin has shed tears and blood all her life, namely: one Daiyu, two Xiren, and three Xiangyun. Zhang Ailing's narration and reasoning are endless, overlapping, and repeated, but the most concise, clear, transparent and bright positive words we look forward to are the least rare and rare-it takes a lot of effort, patience, Only then did you discover a few odd words by accident, which made you feel surprised and delighted. What she meant was that Bao Dai's "love" reached its climax when it "addressed the heart and soul", and then it seemed to fade away. Shengwen is not a scene of two people face to face.She also cited comments from Taiping idlers, thinking that the two are getting older and restrained, not like before... She rated it as "distorted" and admitted: After all, readers have the same feeling about "gradual" and "light". actual.So her whole set of "major deletions", "major demolition", "big moving" nightmares are repeated again, to find out the "reason", imagine how this "deletion", etc., etc.It seems to say that there should have been more exciting scenes between the two of them in the past and in the future, but they don't exist today, and I feel sorry for them.

——The above is right and wrong, in short, there is no big surprise, and ordinary readers can still understand it and express the same. But right here, she suddenly "jumped" out a surprisingly strange remark—— ...and Bao Dai was imagined based on a love affair that Zhi Yan had when she was a child... The effect of these few words on others is unknown, but to me, it is really "shocking the sky, and the clouds are standing on the sea"! I can't help but be like Grandma Liu, chanting "Amitabha" repeatedly!Ms. Zhang, who is difficult to read, has never been willing to say a positive word to Zhi Yan, but she "confesses" and "confesses" here!

This is "penmanship"?Or "subconsciousness"—she doesn't want to accept other people's textual research, but she has already acquiesced in her heart?Do I need to repeat myself—Zhi Yan is the "prototype" of a real person, and Fang named Daiyu is a fiction in "creation" (to put it harshly, that is, "fabrication"). Then, there is no need to "prove" anymore: she clearly felt that Zhi Yan was originally a female figure, and she was very close to Xueqin when she was a child. In this way, things will be "easy to handle"-even if there are a thousand differences between Ms. Zhang and I, even if she never mentions my research on Zhiyan inkstone, as long as she is willing to say such a sentence, it is exactly "If you don't sing, then Already, blockbuster", her power is more important than others.

One of the most critical issues in the history of red studies can be resolved from this. Since Zhang Ailing "accidentally" teased that Zhiyan, who had accepted the humble exam in her subconscious mind, was a woman, that is, the prototype of Xiangyun (Bao and Xiangyou, she has explained), then there is a ray of light in the "nightmare" she created herself. Xi Wei appeared, but unexpectedly, Nightmare was about to retreat, and the dawn was at the window. Criticisms of Zhiyan: "...In retrospect, I compared Yu to a hairpin and a frown, and I am a confidant. How lucky is Yu!", "Yu tasted [often] crying celery, and tears were exhausted", "I only hope that the Creator will be born again. Qin Yizhi, and the two of them will soon find their hearts in Jiuquan!"... Eileen Chang, who is extremely smart, how do you understand the tone of these words?How to "detail" the intimate relationship between the two of them?What uncle, uncle, brother, father's strange stories can convince you? (Note)

The story of Xiangyun has changed a lot. Zhiyan's experience purely based on the prototype is too rough and tortuous. It is a reasonable guess that the book has been revised from an early draft. The "Qu Wen" of Xiangyun heard in the Dreamland Dreamland may be that the original early draft was intentionally inferior, or it may be intentionally left to be compared with "Yin Qilin" so that readers can find their own understanding. This huge closed eye can finally no longer enter the "nightmare". The poem says: Zhi Ji was originally a daughter, and the title of the illusion is blinding the eyes.

Xiangdai, who is false and who is not, is extremely clever and convincing. (Note) Jihu, that is, the alias of Zhiyan in his later years, please refer to the chapter "Using Vulgar Brushes for Common Things" in my book "Red Mansions Dazzling Red". The "fate" in "Ming Qinxi to delete" has no meaning of "elders". "I haven't made this statement for a long time" is a copy of the word "Ling" in cursive script.Naizhiyan women remember old words, and it has nothing to do with "elders" - how can "elders" say something like "I can't bear to meet each other, so as not to hurt each other" when they meet a junior? !
