Chapter 65 Zhou Ruchang commented on "Nightmare in the Red Chamber" (2)

You still remember that Baoyu was beaten. This big story, a big disturbance, took a day to tell. There were too many things there.After being beaten, it was close to death, and then the old grandmother came to defend, Daiyu and others came to visit, and the whole family made trouble.Then I want to eat lotus leaf soup, Wang Xifeng especially wants to do this, the concubine Yuan eats it when visiting relatives, and makes it for the empress, never done it.Why do you still remember this, that means Baoyu, you are too tricky and weird.Now he wanted lotus leaf soup, so he hurriedly made it for him, but he couldn't find the mold, so he hurried to check in some room, and it took a lot of trouble.At this time, Fu's family sent their mother-in-law to visit Baoyu. Baoyu's Yihong Courtyard never allowed mother-in-law to come in. Today is special, what's going on?It turned out that he had something on his mind. The Fu family had a daughter named Fu Qiufang, who was both talented and beautiful, and was the number one in the capital at that time.He has heard this name for a long time, and there is infinite reverence in his heart. Look at Cao Xueqin's next word. Now some people say that Jia Baoyu is a little hooligan. Read it, what's the result?I'm just sick of myself, and I'm just pissed off.Look at that precious jade, it is a sincere respect and admiration for this woman, without any evil thoughts.Looking at Ms. Fu Qiufang's face, let the mother-in-law come in. I want to tell this story, and we won't finish it today.Back to Zhang Ailing, because Zhang Ailing has research on Fu Qiufang's age, how old is Fu Qiufang, you go back and open your side to take a look, it is probably 23 years old, Zhang Ailing said that when Baoyu visited her relatives that year 13 years old.There is a lot of evidence, and I have repeatedly said that the calligraphy and paintings of the twelve or thirteen-year-old son of Rongguo Mansion are so good.There was also that monk who held the jade in his palm and said goodbye to Qinggeng Peak, thirteen years passed in a blink of an eye.Is this still wrong?Zhang Ailing said that a 23-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy, how can they get married?There is too much age difference.This caused Zhang Ailing's attention, what about a textual research?A notebook was originally written that Fu Qiufang was 21 or 20 years old this year. When he copied Chinese characters, his hand was negligent. If he combined the words 12 and 2 together, it might be close, which is very reasonable, and became 23.There is no way for Baoyu's age. She said she has a principle, which has been greatly deleted and revised, including age and age. She thinks it is more reasonable that Jia Baoyu was 15 years old when he visited his relatives. Then Miss Fu Qiufang is 21 years old. 15 with Mr. Jia, even though there is still a distance, it is barely reasonable, otherwise it is too unreasonable.This is a great writer, if you want to read a work, the details must be reasonable and reasonable, and you can't make up random things.When you comment on this reason, she said to herself, "I am not qualified to do textual research. My advantage is that I am too familiar with various notebooks. There is a slightly unfamiliar word. I don't need to read it. It comes to my eyes." Jump in." She took everything that she could see, most of our dozen or so transcripts today.The different characters were as thin as a cow's hair, there were simply too many, she remembered them all.She took a look, what's going on?That is how the matter?She also said that when Cao Xueqin was writing, she didn't finish writing, copy it out, and put the whole thing there waiting for someone to take it away, copy it, sell it for money, and live, no.He wrote there once and several times, ordered a copy and put it there, and when he came, he would ask for it, borrow it, read it, and when he took it out, people would copy it according to that. Then, he had another book. This is a little edited, and the words used are not exactly the same. That's the way it is, and it's correct, and it's also the truth.It is said that her textual research is a hundred times more detailed than this, well, this deserves our admiration.

Let me talk about her faults, are her research conclusions?No, she was deceived by the incorrect views of some red scholars, she edited and polished the book (this is a matter of course), she turned into a big move, like this piece of chess pieces, which one was written earlier, Later, for some reason, it was moved back many times, and then it was completely dismantled and changed, and this became such a work.I don't believe it, even Ms. Zhang Ailing's own creation, I don't believe that this method is used.Mr. Lu Xun thought it was realism, not fiction.Zhang Ailing also gave an example, which is incomplete.An American novel expert named Han Nan, he found out that chapters 53 and 57 were written by another person, not the original author.She said right, "When I saw this place, I felt as if I had entered a dark alley. When I walked there, I suddenly got out of the dark alley, and suddenly became enlightened." Look at this artistic sensitivity. I just said it over and over again. A person engaged in literature and art, or even natural science, must have this. Without this sensitivity, a bunch of dead things cannot survive.She used three words to summarize the last forty chapters, and she said that Gao E had "vulgarized".You can write big articles and even monographs on the three words "vulgarization".And why is it good, why am I so obsessed with it, I can't find a word in her book, she is such a weirdo.This Eileen Chang, what do you think of Bao Dai's love?She didn't say either.But she issued a strange theory, and I was very proud of this strange theory.She said that Shi Xiangyun is real, and today's words are called a character with a prototype. Lin Daiyu was a fictional character later. Everyone, you will be shocked when you hear this. Who has seen it like this, thought about it like this, or said it like that!Okay, since Shi Xiangyun was mentioned, let me say one more thing, her last chapter is that the original ending in the old authentic version is the reunion of Baoxiang and Xiangyun. She still looked for this at the end of her research. After the 80th chapter, he continued it twice. One chapter was still his old way of thinking, that Jia’s house had not been ransacked. In addition, he wrote a book about Jia’s house being raided due to political disaster.Later, Daiyu died early, Baochai also died early, and finally Jia Baoyu became a monk. This is a contradiction.Which one does she think is more in line with Cao Xueqin's final intention?She couldn't judge, this became such a big problem that Eileen Chang tried to solve but failed to solve in her life.That is to say, has she come to this point in ten years and made a conclusion?No.But this is the topic she cares about the most. I will tell you this today. It is a big theory. I have simplified it to the point that I can't simplify it any more.She has three major hatreds in her life, and the second hatred is an old word, from the ancients.The first hates the crabapple for its lack of fragrance, the second hates the prickly shad, and the third hates it, it's not over yet.Why did she say it wasn't finished?I have to look for the real Cao Xueqin, not the one of Gao Exu.She spent ten years writing this book because she couldn't solve it, so she took such a strange title.Is this good, can you treat your ten years like this?I don't comment, but think about it, everyone, there is only one special case in the history of Chinese culture and literature for cultural problems like ours, and there is no second one. You can see this big special case when you read the novel from the beginning of the world to... , aroused the activities of the minds of all Chinese people, why?Is that a question of literature and art?No, it's a cultural issue.I talk to you today, I say a hundred sentences, ten thousand sentences, I only have one sentence, a big cultural problem!Then, because Zhang Ailing loves Gao E so much, she especially hates Gao E. Her evaluation of Gao E is her own admission, and she is simply swearing.She said three sentences, the first sentence was "vulgarization", the second sentence said that Gao E's last forty chapters were "necrosis of the bone", and the third sentence said that Gao E "deadly deserves more than guilt".amazing!More than enough to die!Were these four words casually spoken by a well-bred Chinese lady?Please think about it, I have no intention, no intention to ask so many of you here to agree with me or her.I didn't mean that, but I raised this question, what should I do with this thing?We just never settle?After another five hundred years, one thousand years, this is not good.We should have more people pay attention to this problem, the problem of our great Chinese culture, such a unique example, good!Thank you all.
