Chapter 52 Chapter 51 Who is Crimson Pearl

Zhang Ailing verified that Daiyu was originally non-existent, and that she was a fictitious character later "differentiated" by Xiangyun. This witty remark of hers will definitely shock the world, and it is difficult to accept it, because it has always been Daiyu's Dream of the Red Chamber, how can "let" Xiangyun take on this "heavy task"? What Zhang Ailing said is reasonable and unreasonable, can her argument be established?There is no need to judge the case first, but to examine it from another route to see if there are any special signs, which is the procedure and reason for the discussion.

I would like everyone to review the points that should be paid attention to in the fifth chapter of Baoyu's Immortal Journey—— It was after Baoyu arrived, Jing Huan had finished "self-introduction", and called all the sisters to come out to receive your family.Then four fairies appeared.When they saw Baoyu, they all complained about Jing Huan, and said: "My sister once said that today and today there are souls of sister Jiangzhu coming here to play, so I waited for a long time. How can I attract this filth to pollute our clean place?" In this regard, Jing Huan did not give a positive answer, and asked people to find out for themselves: First, has Jiangzhu come?Jing Huan didn't say why she couldn't come, but another "little servant" and "dirty thing" came, what's the reason?She avoided all of them——as if there was another "answer" for not answering.

So we must listen again to what she said to Baoyu first.Please note-- ...Because of the recent romantic and injustice lingering here, I came here to check the opportunity and spread lovesickness.It is not by accident that I meet you suddenly today... Let me remind you: Whenever you come to this kind of place, if you don't understand Xueqin's unique style of writing, you will read it casually for no reason, and take the key points contained in the article as idle articles. First, who is the one who wants to "linger" here for the "injustice of romance"?Second, it is not a coincidence that Baoyu met today—that is, a pre-destined chance, so why doubt it?Third, the living soul of "Crimson Pearl" has already scheduled "to play here today and today", and this destiny has not been canceled or "rescheduled".This is the three main points!

As long as it is integrated, what do these three points mean?It will be very interesting! The "translation" comes out: "Your arrival is not accidental. The arrival of Crimson Pearl is also predetermined. The so-called romantic and injustice lingering here are Baoyu and Crimson Pearl" clearly. ——This can make people jump: Could it be that Bao and Dai once entered the illusory world and met "lingeringly"? No. Because, as explained below, Jing Huan's "sister" named "Jianmei" is the beauty of Jianchai and Dai, and another woman, and she is definitely not "single" Daiyu.

That's weird, who else? There are others, none other than Xiangyun. The reason is also clear: only Xiangyun has the appearance and virtue of both Chai and Dai, and no one else has this qualification.Second, don't forget that the painting hanging in the room that Baoyu saw before falling into a dream is exactly "The Picture of Begonias Sleeping in Spring".Thirdly, the couplet in the room clearly stated that "fragrance envelops people like the fragrance of wine", and only Xiangyun can drink and "scent and dream deeply". ——Some people say that if you make a mistake, the sister of Jiangzhu can only be Daiyu, and it is difficult to connect with Xiangyun.I replied: You forgot, Xiangyun's tooth card is exactly nine o'clock full red, and the name of the card is "nine ripe cherries".Xueqin's grandfather, Cao Lianting (Yin), wrote a poem about cherries, which is called "the crimson palace pearl on the plate". The origin and original meaning of "Crimson Pearl" is cherry.

It was Xiangyun, not Daiyu, who won the "Crimson Pearl" dental plaque! (See "Red Mansion Dazzling Red") In fact, Eileen Chang has also deduced: Xiangyun lived in Rongfu according to Shi Taijun when she was young, and lived with Baoyu, and once told Xiren about the innocent wish in the little girl's heart: when she grows up, she will be with you (referring to Xiren) ) to marry the second elder brother together as husband and wife. This is the true meaning of "Taixuanfantasy", a wonderful novel and wonderland. However, Eileen Chang had already "involved" a level of cunning in Xueqin's writing, but she did not go any further.Here it is obvious that she is only "fixed" by the false method of "Crimson Pearl is Daiyu", so don't think about the allusions that Ying is a red jade plate and Jiangzhu is a cherry.

The poem says: Ying Pan held out Crimson Pearl Red, and Magic Penwork came from the illusion.
