Chapter 56 Don't think about it (2)

I have discovered a lot in textual research in my life, and I think the most worthy of a big book is the "Zhi Yan Xiangyun theory". There are quite a lot of domestic supporters, and it is time to list the names of your teachers and friends in another article.Those who can remember overseas are Lin Yutang and Zhang Ailing. Lin's book "Pingxin Lun Gao'e" whitewashed the fake continuation and scolded me with bad words; but he only agreed with "Zhiyan Xiangyun's theory". Those who scold me seem to have to admit this, and it can be seen that the truth cannot be concealed, but it is more convincing.But I can't deny that he scolded me, so I don't want to make him rave.

Now I only talk about Eileen Chang, and she expresses her affirmation in a uniquely non-positive way, which I find extremely rare and honored. Zhiyan’s Zhu comment left in the "Jiaxu Version", in the article "Jiawu Eighth Day", mourns the death of Xueqin, and the words "one celery and one fat" show that the couple share the same fate, is there any other explanation?Jiawu is the thirty-ninth year of Qianlong (1774).She is already old, so she was once aliased as "Fat Husou". However, Eileen Chang believed in an unverifiable "Jingben Guolu Zhizhi", saying that the Zhiyan had passed away, and Jihu continued to write it; The approval only changed to "Jiashen"—that is, it became Zhiyan's approval the year after Guiwei's death, so she also "passed away"....

"Jiaxu Version" is extant, and the characters in Zhu are clear. Then "Jiawu", how could it be "Jiashen"? No matter how sketchy "Shen" is, it will not become "Wu", and no matter how "fancy" "Wu" is, it will not become "Shen". Do we believe in "Jiaxu" or the "Jingben" that is still unknown?Moreover, it is said that it is a "transcribed" piece of "over-recorded", a zero note "stuck in the book"? I don't admit that I "believe" in a certain book, I only admit that one should be cautious in learning, seeing is believing, and rumors may not be true.

Of course, if the copyist presents real evidence today, I will reconsider my humble opinion today.If I can't come up with it for a day, of course I can only "suspend the case" for a day, and I dare not ambiguously easily, for fear of being mistaken by others and misleading others. Eileen Chang thinks that "Fat Husou" is really an "elder" man, but she can't tell whose elder he is, how can an elder man "participate" in the private affairs of the younger generation's boudoir? She is good at reasoning, but she can't deduce "reason" about it.

Admitting that Zhiyan is the "prototype" of Xiangyun, it also interprets the meaning of Duncheng's "wandering bride's eyes are not clear" when he pulls Xueqin. "Yanshi cries, sings and meets sorrow", "Qinhuai's old dream is still there", isn't it just that "person" is vaguely included in the sentence?Isn't it the "Bride" after "Yuhe"?How does this relate to "elder men"? The poem says: Qinhuai Fengyue Stone City, the joys and sorrows of separation and reunion several times in autumn. The bride is drifting away, and the inkstone is there, and the inkstone is full of tears.
