Chapter 70 The Mystery of "Golden Jade"

Anyone who reads Cao Xueqin's book doesn't remember the word "gold and jade"?What are the impressions and emotions aroused by this united pair?Not very good, I'm afraid.These two words mark a key problem of the whole book.All this seems to be a cliché, nothing to worry about, and nothing to dispute.However, when you infer between these generalized impressions and perceptions, you will find that things are not that simple, and some things are quite difficult to figure out.Let me give an example to see what the reality in Xueqin's works is like. Jinghuan Fairy entertained Baoyu, in addition to the famous tea fairy brew, there was also "theatrical performances". What did you say about the "Dream of Red Mansions" sung by the twelve dancers? ——

"To open up Hongmeng, who is the seed of love? It's all for the love of the wind and the moon. Taking advantage of these days, sad days, and loneliness, try to get rid of the foolishness. So come on, perform this Dream of Red Mansions with gold and mourning jade." Xueqin's style of writing is excellent. On the surface, he is writing about police fantasy to entertain Baoyu, but in fact it is Xueqin's confession. "Close the eyes" means "embracing gold and mourning jade". Readers are already familiar with this. In the four-character key, who does "gold" refer to?Xue Baochai with a golden lock. Who does "Jade" refer to?Lin Daiyu is in contrast to Baochai. (Using jade to refer to Dai, there is an example, such as "Yu Shengxiang" back to the head)——In this understanding, although I dare not say that it is unanimous, it still reaches more than 90%.People think this explanation is so natural that they don't even think about it. If so, the usage of the word "jinyu" is no longer the same as that of "jinyu marriage".

However, the first main song "Lifetime Mistakes" after this "Introduction" said at the beginning: "It's all right, a golden marriage. I will never forget, the Lonely Forest in the fairyland outside the world...Even if it is true, it is difficult to settle the case with my eyebrows raised!" That being the case, why did he "give gold and mourn jade" again?Could it be that Xueqin got into a fight with herself after writing two songs? ——Just say "conceive" her, and then abnormally emphasize a thought and feeling that "emptyly faces" her and feels dissatisfied. "Huai" probably means that people miss each other when they are not together, that is, "keep it in the center, and forget it someday", which already conflicts with "difficulty", let alone they are "facing" Well, it was originally a face-to-face meeting, so why use "感" again?If this is due to the difference between "general language" and "specific reference" and the change of circumstances, then "yu" refers to Daiyu's "yu" just now, and it refers to Baoyu in a while (following) The "jade" is already there——wouldn't this disturb Cao Xueqin himself?

Anyway, with only two pieces, there are already "problems". And that's not all.The following song "Wang Ning Mei" said again: "One is the fairy flower of Langyuan, and the other is the beautiful jade flawless. If there is no romance, I will meet him again in this life. If there is a romance, how can I worry about it?" Final blur?..." You see, isn't this chaos on top of chaos?Here comes another "jade" that is "beautiful and flawless"!Fortunately, there is no "gold" here, and the matter is mixed up, but who is the third "jade" referring to? "Questions" please answer too.It is also more than 90% of the people who think that "Xianbei" is "Xianshu", and "beautiful jade" is of course Baoyu, and these two sentences naturally refer to "a former alliance between wood and stone". place of discussion.Reluctantly, the "stone" was originally characterized by "flaws", and it was clearly explained when the book was opened. Zhipi also pointed out that "red flaws" used both "red jade" and "jade minor disease".Then why is it suddenly "flawless" again?In the writing of Baoyu in the whole department, he intentionally used negative writing, and used derogation as a compliment everywhere. This is a "determined method".With such a sentence, wouldn't it be a shame to chew it without any aftertaste?Besides, it has been pointed out above: Although the melody is performed by "warning fantasy", the tone is all Baoyu's confession. Sincerity", the fairy girl is in charge, and the policeman "Huan" refers to "fan". Would she have such tone and words?Besides, who is "I"?Do you still need to dissect?Baoyu said "beautiful jade is flawless" in his own tone, but it's not very nasty!Xueqin is brilliant and generous, is she willing to write like this?I very much doubt it.He couldn't get rid of this vulgar pen.Conversely, if it is said that this is Tuo Baoyu's voice, then he calls himself a "fairy", which is also too much.

Therefore, the "problem" is still troublesome. How to solve it?Bring it up for everyone to discuss and research, or you can gradually get the answer.Thinking that your own explanation is the best in the world, the most correct, and no one can doubt it, is just a joke. If the readers don't nod, let's try to answer it, it may not be right. What do you think of the word "gold and jade"?Still need to analyze first. Gold and jade have been the most precious and valuable things since ancient times. If the rich and noble families in the world want to decorate, they first seek gold and jade. It is conceivable that precious enemies are always paired.Generally speaking, they are used to represent the best things.However, just as Qiluo is a beautiful product, because it can only be enjoyed by the rich and noble, so the view of "viewing Qiluo as vulgar and disgusting" has arisen, so gold and jade have also become a very vulgar symbol of wealth and wealth.

Gold and jade utensils were turned into a repulsive object that was so rich and so vulgar.Cao Xueqin naturally thinks that such gold and jade are "not to be loved", but gold and jade themselves are not disgusting. They are the most beautiful things in natural objects. The so-called "fine gold and beautiful jade" represent the highest and purest beauty. In this sense, Cao Xueqin does not regard gold and jade as despicable, on the contrary, he thinks highly of them.For example, Miaoyu was a figure he admired and held in high esteem, and he wrote about her as "poor quality of gold and jade".For another example, Third Sister You said to her elder sister: "Sister is confused, we who are like gold and jade are incompetent if we let these two living treasures be defiled." Xiangyun is "Jade Moonlight and Fengyao Yutang".Another example is Ji Qingwen who said, "Its quality is not as valuable as gold and jade."It can be seen that Xueqin's use of gold and jade to describe the most beautiful daughters and their residence has absolutely no other meaning.This level of meaning is very important.

Xueqin not only used "golden jade quality" when writing about Miaoyu, but also used "it seems that flawless white jade has been trapped in mud" again.This fully proves that the "one is beautiful and flawless" in "Wang Ning Mei" does not refer to Jia Baoyu at all, but clearly refers to a woman. In addition to this kind of example, one should also think that if one thinks that "fairy flowers" and "beautiful jade" are the so-called "marriage of wood and stone", then it is really wrong.why? "Wood and stone" are just wood and stone. The so-called "foreign alliance between wood and stone" refers to the original constitution and the emotional relationship between them, which cannot be replaced.Stone has become "jade" and "creates a fantasy fate", which is why it is said that "gold" needs to be "matched". This jade is no longer a "stone", and it is no longer a stone.Opposing the theory of "gold and jade" is precisely because they don't even recognize "jade"-so Baoyu threw it and smashed it several times.How can it be said that he claims to be a "flawless jade"? !I said that that explanation is really an illusion, and if you search and analyze it carefully, you will feel that that explanation is very inappropriate.Why did Cao Xueqin put pen to paper like this? As soon as "Introduction", "Lifetime Mistakes" and "Wang Ning Mei" were sung, Cao Xueqin cut a bunch of them with his brush: "Baoyu listened to this song, and it was rambling and nonsensical. It can be ecstasy. Therefore, I don’t investigate its origin and ask its origin, so I just use it to relieve my boredom.” This is also meaningful in Xueqin’s brushwork——below, I’ll continue to sing "Hate Impermanence"—it’s already It has been changed to something like Yuanchun's "endorsement" ("My son's life..." "Tianlun"). In short, it is no longer the voice of Baoyu's confession.This must also be clear.To sum up all the above, those old interpretations that we take for granted are not taken for granted.

"Wang Ning Mei" is not designed for "love between wood and stone", nor is it about Daiyu's "frowning eyebrows" and "returning tears".Since it is still Baoyu's tone, it refers to the two women in Baoyu's mind. How can they be compared?One is like a fairy flower in Langyuan, and the other is a beautiful jade with no flaws... If you push it like this, you can understand that the original meaning of the song is that there are two of them, one is lamenting in vain, the other is vain, one is the moon in the water, and the other is love. The flower in the mirror....It can be seen here: sighing in vain is mourning; caring for nothing is cherishing.This is exactly the echo and "illustration" of the key point of "Huai Jin Mourning Jade".

If we understand it in this way, all the "stirring" and "confusion" mentioned above will not only cease to exist, but the logic will become clearer. — This is of course my personal feeling. Assuming that some readers are able to accept this major premise, then they may have to ask: Which two are these "two people"? In this regard, I tried to pay tribute to Yuyi again, but it was still not necessarily right. "Beautiful jade is flawless", here refers to Daiyu, the jade of "mourning jade".When Xueqin used descriptions and metaphors, she felt that only Daiyu and Miaoyu, the "two jades", could truly deserve the praise of flawless beautiful jade or white jade—the two women with the most noble and pure qualities, so He used this "figure of speech" twice.Other girls can't afford to be compared with these four characters.

If this is the case, then who does "Langyuan Fairy Flower" refer to? Some comrades thought it was Baochai.I disagree with this explanation, and I debated with him (debating is a pleasure in our research, we don't "quarrel" or "swear" because of it, who is right, I accept it gladly, and feel that there is nothing more in the world than this. happiness is more natural).My reasons are: The first one is that Baochai is a peony, a "wealthy flower in the world", which has nothing to do with "immortals". The second point, on the surface, it seems that Chai and Dai are always listed side by side, an unchanging pattern.In fact, "Lin Shi" is the real juxtaposition in Xueqin's mind. In Yihong courtyard, bananas and tongs are planted side by side, symbolizing Daixiang, as I have already said.There is no role for Baochai here.She belongs to another pattern entirely.In Xueqin's pen, this is very clear and uncluttered.

The third article, "Begonia Famous Poetry Club, Lin Shi makes a fuss about the autumn girl: even if you have a lot of talent, you are not as rich as a rich one!" The title poem before the thirty-seventh chapter has already made it very clear. The fourth article, the Mid-Autumn Festival couplets in the Aujing Pavilion, everyone should go—especially Xuqing Baochai is not in the game, and Dudu Lin and Shi's conclusion of the game is an extremely important and important point of the whole book .I said that too. Fifth, in the Luxue hall, the young girl cuts the meat, just like the couplets of the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is also the finishing touch for the second half of the pattern. In this scene, Lin and Shi are also the protagonists. Article 6: Daiyu's residence and alias are Xiaoxiang, and Xiangyun's name is "Xiang", and she has to live in Xiaoxiang Pavilion every time she comes. There must be something to be done. I am afraid of the pain of visual inspection of the disease, so I stop here for the time being. I think it can explain that only Daixiang is the two girls Baoyu really likes and loves.Everyone else gets the power and stays behind.Just as Zhiyan pointed out, Baoyu's "those who are thick and thick are only the cloud", this is the most obvious. Then, I will say: this Langyuan fairy flower is actually referring to Xiangyun. I wrote a quatrain for Xiangyun in the poem "Figure Paintings in the Story of the Stone" as follows: "Extremely exaggerated and colorful to appreciate Chongguang, sign the fairy flower Qi Begonia. The word is changed to Shiliang and the style is wonderful. .” The whole article takes Dongpo crabapple poems as the "main axis", because Xueqin used a special brush to render when he first wrote Yihongyuan. It's a pity that the word is biased towards Tang and missed banana-it should be seen that Baoyu praised the examples of "Qing Ke Xianggong" and how important it is.The lottery drawn by Xiangyun is also the crabapple flower, and it says "I'm afraid the flower will fall asleep late at night", and it is the same poem by Dongpo (it's wonderful!).It can be seen that Haitang represents Smith, there is no doubt about it. Then, in the inscription for "Cui Ling Picking up Lin", I added: "Extremely exaggerated and full of color, praise Chongguang, and sign the fairy flower Qi Begonia. The flower is cinnabar silk and green strands-the little servant girl is really paired with red makeup." This is a noteworthy phenomenon: Why is Xiangyun's maid called "Cuilu"?Don't forget, when I first visited Yihongyuan, when I wrote about the begonia, the big book said: "The flower spits out dansha, and the silk hangs green."Are these all just coincidences? My friend Comrade Bo Fei pointed out this point, and said that the word "Pa" is used in the text of the Tongbu Shu, and this is the only example. Xiangyun's maid is called "Cui Li". ? He used this example to support me: "One is Langyuan fairy flower" originally referring to Xiangyun. The special relationship between Xiangyun and Haitang can also be found in the plot of the first opening of the "Haitang Poetry Club".Everyone remembers that this time the Poetry Club was the foundation and the first creation of the Daguanyuan Poetry Club. Not only was the club named after Begonia, but also the real protagonist in this meeting was Miss Shi who was invited to "make up" at the end. Although Begonia has the difference between spring and autumn, and the difference between Dan and Bai, which may imply the changes in the fate of the characters in the development of the plot, but it is specially designed for Xiangyun, which is the same. If this is the case again, then we can re-understand the words "Huai" and "Mourning": Mourners mourn Daiyu who died young; Comrade Bofei also believes that the issue about Xiangyun is more complicated than others, because, in Xueqin's life materials, the experience of this character archetype is more unusual. When he continued to write, and later, the whereabouts and ending of Xiangyun's prototype changed greatly. Therefore, Xueqin's writing of Xiangyun before the 80th chapter and his writing after the 80th chapter There have been changes in the use of materials.This is left for further discussion below. One is the moon in the water - Daiyu, and the other is the flower in the mirror - Xiangyun.This is my interpretation again. It is also a cliché, but Xueqin's art often uses old words to write new ideas, and uses common words to hide special meanings.Daiyu died in the water, I can give many clues - that is, Xueqin's unique artistic techniques, such as: 1. Daiyu was nicknamed Xiaoxiang Concubine, and the Suoyin faction made a big fuss about the word "concubine", thinking that concubine must be "imperial concubine" or something like that, so she became "concubine of Shunzhi". The gods are all female, and they are all named after concubines. The god of Luochuan is named Concubine Mi, which is the truth of the Cao family.Dai got this name, implying that she is the "god" in the water, the ability of Ehuang, Nvying, and the goddess of Xiaoxiang, that is, a woman who sinks herself in Xiangyang (comparing Daiyu to the daughter of tearful bamboo, Tanchun once clearly stated ).After Baoyu was beaten by Jia Zheng, he gave away the old handkerchief and Daiyu. Daiyu was moved and wrote a poem. There is a saying: "It is difficult to collect the pearls on the colored thread, the old traces of the Xiangjiang River are blurred, and there are thousands of bamboos in front of the window, and there is no trace of fragrance." No stains?" It was even more clear. 2. At the end of "Beautiful Songs and Police Hearts", Daiyu thought to herself, and cited examples of ancient poems and sentences: "The water flows and the flowers thank the two without mercy", "The flowers fall in the water and the spring goes away", "The flowers fall in the water and flow red" three examples in a row, They all highlight that the falling of flowers is related to water. 3. "Burning Flowers": "At the end of the sky, where is there a fragrant hill? If you don't have a kit to collect the bones, a piece of pure land can cover the wind; the quality is clean when it comes and goes, and it is better than the filth and sinking into the ditch!" A paragraph, someone cited as "contradictory evidence", saying that this just shows that she did not die of water.As everyone knows, if it has nothing to do with water, why would she say such nonsense? ——Buried with soil, this is common sense and routine, what's so strange?It should be known that she said in her original words, I wish I could grow wings and fly to the end of the sky to find that (missing) Xiangqiu.This meaning is self-explanatory, and there are no two interpretations. 4. Baoyu's strange saying: "Ming'er fell into the pool, turned into a big bastard, and carried a monument with his sister for a lifetime!" How to explain this statement?Why just fall into the big pool?The pool is the cold pond; it implies the place where Daiyu will die in the future. 5. Celebrating the Lantern Festival, family banquet and acting, the feature is "Meeting and Cursing", the plot of this play is that the marriage has twists and turns, and the heroine once committed suicide by throwing herself into the river.This hints at the misfortune of Bao Dai's relationship and is also a story of sinking water. Sixth, Baoyu secretly offered sacrifices to Jinchuan, and when he saw the statue of Luoshen, he burst into tears.The superficial meaning is to mourn the death of Jin Chuan who fell into the water, but in fact it is related to the plot of the girl throwing into the water, and there are accidents throughout the book. 7. When Baoyu came back from offering sacrifices to the bracelets, the play "The Story of the Hairpin and Chuanchuan" was being played. Everyone was so sad and wept. Daiyu used the characters in the play to ridicule Baoyu, saying: "This king and his friends don't know much! No matter where the sacrifice That’s all for the sacrifice, you must run to the riverside!” The meaning is the same, alluding to the later ending, these words must be pointed out by Daiyu’s mouth, not in general. 8. The lottery that Daiyu drew was Furong, engraved with "Don't complain about the east wind, be your own lament", implying that "Furong was born on the autumn river, don't complain about the east wind".Her relationship with "Autumn River" is also the relationship with water. 9. Baoyu's sacrifice to Qingwen is called "Furong's Daughter", which also contains hints of pre-sacrifice to Daiyu, which everyone knows.Where was it sacrificed? "The hibiscus on the pool in the garden is blooming" and "suddenly saw the hibiscus on the pool", and then I went to the hibiscus flower to hold a sacrifice-it was by the water in the pool. 10. The first sentence of Daiyu's "Five Beauties" is "A generation of beauties chasing the waves" (the second and fourth poems all commit suicide). (Another comrade told me that the first sentence of Daiyu's chanting of catkins, "Pink falls to Baihuazhou", also has the same meaning.) I think these hints, taken together, have clearly portrayed Daiyu's death in water. "Lengyue burials the soul of flowers", the burial is the "soul of flowers", that is, Daiyu, that is, the soul of flowers that "the soul of flowers and birds is always hard to keep". Daiyu was born in the Flower Dynasty (February 12), and her righteousness is also this.The moon in the water expresses the meaning of empty flowers and phantoms, but it is actually about the future Mid-Autumn Festival when the moon falls in the cold pond and the festival of death (commonly known as the festival of reunion).So she wrote "Peach Blossom Journey", and the concluding sentence is "A sound of Du Yuchun's death, the lonely curtain is empty and the moon marks".The semantics are clearest. As for "Flower in the Mirror", I thought it was secretly cutting Xiangyun.Flowers are fairy flowers. When Xueqin wrote, the prototype of Xiangyun and his whereabouts were still unknown, so he compared it to the shadow of a flower in a mirror, and it may also use the "broken mirror" separation of a couple in the Six Dynasties. Story: Xu Deyan and Princess Lechang knew that the country was ruined and their family was destroyed. The princess's talents and looks must be owned by others, because each holds a half of the mirror.Xiangyun and Baoyu suffered great changes at the same time, their families were broken up, and they were separated, but Jin Qilin was like a "half mirror", and later played the role of reunion and combination. The problem of the golden unicorn is actually caused by the combination of two stars, as described in my article "Red Sea Micro Wave Record" (the first issue of "Red Mansion Dream Research Collection").This "white-headed double star" is probably the parents of people like Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan.Cao Xueqin's writing about the appearance, separation and reunion of the golden unicorn is very melodious. It appeared on the first day of May, the day of the ritual ceremony at the Qingxu Temple. When Baoyu talked about her marriage, she aroused Jia's mother's thoughts and said something, the main point of which was that as long as the girl herself is good, regardless of wealth, this is for Mrs. Wang and the whole family.But at this time, I turned my pen to the "jade" again. After reading the jade biography, it led to a plate of precious pendants. I didn't want Baoyu, but only picked a golden unicorn.As for this golden unicorn, the old lady first paid attention to it, and Baochai pointed out that "Sister Shi has one, which is smaller than this one", and immediately ridiculed Daiyu, "Only the things that these people bring 'he' pay more attention to! Baoyu heard that Xiangyun had one, so he quickly put it in his arms. However, he was afraid that people would find out that he was carrying this object because of Xiangyun, so he "glanced" at people to see if there were people who didn't care. Coincidentally, Daiyu was the only one there "nodding" and "admiring". He was embarrassed, so he said: "This thing is fun, I will keep it for you, and when you get home, put it on, and you can take it with you." Turn your head away" and say "I don't care".Only then did Baoyu "have to hold it by himself".The love affairs are extremely tortuous and meticulous, and the pen is really full of beauty. And that's not all.Because Taoist Zhang proposed a marriage, a rare turmoil was caused, and Bao Dai quarreled again because of "worry". This time even the old lady was really anxious, which is only seen in the whole book.Then, after the funeral, Xiangyun came to stay in the mansion again——in Xueqin's writing, her appearance was not accidental.As soon as Xiangyun came, he wrote about her past of "a woman disguised as a man"—this is a special writing, foreshadowing that she had to escape some kind of danger by pretending to be a man in the suffering.Then, as soon as she explained "I won't stay for two days", she immediately asked "Is Brother Bao not at home?" Baochai said, "She doesn't think about anyone else, only Brother Bao...".Daiyu first pointed out one thing: "Your (Bao) brother got a good thing, waiting for you!" Xiangyun asked: "What good thing?" Baoyu replied: "You believe her!" Good looking Sharen. However, there are wonderful words.Waiting for Baoyu to listen to Xiangyun's refreshing and reasonable speech, he praised her as "still so good at talking. Don't let anyone else".Daiyu said again: "He can't talk, and his golden unicorn can talk!" As he spoke, he got up and left, "Fortunately, no one heard it, only Baochai pursed his lips and smiled." Immediately afterwards, Xiangyun and Cuilu came to the garden, talked freely about the truth of "Yin and Yang", and came to the rose trellis, only to find a big and colorful golden unicorn—— Cui Ling immediately "pointed out": Yin and Yang can be separated! The following article is about how Xiangyun's master and servant fought to see the unicorn, and how Baoyu said when they arrived at Yihong Courtyard, "You should come early, I got a good thing, and I'm waiting for you!" When it was in Xiangyun's hands, it was Xiangyun who asked him to look at it: "Look, is it this?" The following is a joke about "losing the seal", but Baoyu said: "It's normal to lose the seal. If you lose this, I deserve to die!" How important are these words, how can they be treated as jokes? More than that.Immediately afterwards, Xiren brought tea: "Miss, you are overjoyed to hear that!"——How did Xiangyun react to this? "Shi Xiangyun has a red face, and doesn't answer after drinking tea." Let's see, how much pen and ink has Xueqin spent (not to mention the second half) on this matter?What twists and turns this is, and infinite hills and ravines have been hidden in it.Could it be that Xueqin Fei was so clever only because Xiangyun later "married Wei Ruolan"?I don't believe it. Regarding the later experience and ending of Xiangyun, an important person, I have tried to make some speculations. For details, please refer to pages 916 and 924 of Chapter 4, Chapter 9 of "Xinzheng". Please refer to it and will not repeat it here superfluous.Now just add one or two details. The first is "Sorrow in Joy" in "Dream of Red Mansions". The word goes: "The parents sighed and died in the infancy. Who knows how to care for them when they live in the groves? Fortunately, heroes were born with generosity and magnanimity, and never put their children Personal love is a little lingering in my heart. It seems that the moonlight shines in the jade hall. The boy is worthy of the talent and appearance of the fairy man, and he has won a long life. It's the ups and downs in the world, so why bother to be sad in vain!" This piece of prose that includes Xiangyun is often cited as all the evidence and other deduction results to refute the final rendezvous of "Baoxiang".This problem should be understood from the point mentioned above, that is, the real key lies in the unexpected change between Xueqin's design when he first wrote and the material relationship when he continued to write later.As far as this piece of music is concerned, there are one or two points that need to be explained.First, the so-called "rough shape in childhood" is worth noting.Xiangyun's drinking order is: "The river is surging and surging, the river is surging and the sky is surging, and iron cables are needed to stir the lonely boat. Since it encounters a river wind - it is not suitable to travel." It can be seen that her experience is turbulent waves, not calm and peaceful.It is generally understood that it refers to the death of both parents and no one to pamper them.However, a girl lost her parents when she was a "baby", and grew up with her uncles and aunts. However, she suffered from some family grievances, was not comfortable, and was busy making needlework by herself day and night because of her life... All of this is related to her. It is not called "bumpy", but bumpy refers to all kinds of ups and downs on the road of life. Xueqin obviously has a meaning when she uses this word for a beautiful girl.Xiangyun had "did a blind date" for the official media early on, and "congratulated Xiren" for Xiren. After two years, she left the cabinet and married the noble son "Xianlang" Wei Ruolan. It is logical that "forever" ——Why is it also called "bumpy"?So things are not so simple.Xiren said congratulations, but Xiangyun didn't answer,——Xueqin didn't echo this in dozens of extant books in the future, why is this so?How can it be blamed on chance? Then there is the fat comment that often attracts people to refute the relationship between "Baoxiang": —— "The marriage of gold and jade has been fixed, and a golden unicorn is written. 'Love'." It is generally understood that this batch clearly states that the relationship between "gold and jade" has been determined, and the gold unicorn is not the subject, but only "intercolor", so it can only be said that Baochai is destined, Xiangyun has nothing to do, and so on. On this point, my humble opinion is not the same as the old saying. There used to be a method of "intermediate color", such as Shen Zongqian of the Qing Dynasty in "Setting Color Suolun": "In August and September, the complexion suddenly declines after its peak, and if it suddenly becomes the shape of grass withered and fallen trees, it is the northern part of the country. The weather is bad; therefore, the grass should still be lush and green on the sunny slopes. After the mountains, trees and stones are green, there is no need to add grass green, but between the trees (jian four sounds) as red and yellow leaves or branches with leaves, or between ocher and ink ( Jian four tones) its dots on the leaves, and Xiao Sa's self-explanation." It can be seen that the "intermediate color method" is the method of highlighting, the method of heuristic, and it is the method of expressing the aura that is subtle but obvious, and it is by no means a set of interchromatic colors, that is, It is a casual essay of "secondary" and "foil".Xueqin has spent so many twists and turns and meticulous ink and ink in the above summary just for a "intermediate color", thinking that "no involvement", can it go on?It should be known that Xueqin writes about important things, but she is willing to waste spare ink so much? It has already been said in the song, "I have never cared about my children's personal feelings." This is only to say that Xiangyun is an upright person, straightforward and straightforward, and everything can be seen by others. It is by no means that she "has no" or "understands" the relationship between children— —Otherwise, why bother to write extravagantly?Since Xiangyun was established by the official media and advocated by her parents, her man's surname is "Wei", that's all, so why mention "children's affair"?Can it be negotiated?It can be seen from this that although Xiangyun does not have the same personality type as Daiyu, and the degree or expression of "obsession" is different, but she is also "silently" fascinated by the big and literary "Yang" Lin.She has her own love for her children in her heart. My understanding of "gold and jade" is that "true and false" runs through all phenomena in the book, and the theory of "gold and jade" is no exception. The "gold" that "the monk sent the golden lock" and "engraved the words" is fake; is true.Therefore, "Golden Jade Marriage" is true at first, but there are differences between true and false, and the false cannot be realized after all-it's just "empty confrontation", and the true will coincide after many twists and turns.This is the true meaning of "gold and jade have been determined, and write a lin as the color", which means: Xiangyun's gold and Baoyu's jade are (finally) a foregone conclusion, and write a golden lin given by a fellow Taoist. , it is the method of "inter-color" that makes the whole plot more strange and colorful, and it is not because of this "male" Lin that the marriage between the two is combined-marriage is still a matter of "gold and jade" . The theory of "gold and jade" that Baoyu hates is man-made.Fake gold and jade with another purpose. "Conceive gold to mourn jade", the gold that is conceived is not a golden lock, but a golden lin. The several "gold" and "jade" in the first three pieces of "A Dream of Red Mansions" originally had their own designations, and they were not "contradictory" or "chaotic". Regarding the doubts about "gold and jade", the preliminary tribute is as above, and there are some complicated connections that are not detailed.For such a question, it is not very easy to discuss, and some views, dare to be too confident.However, because this important issue has been disturbed by Gao E's pseudo-continuation for a long time (at least it has been simplistically distorted), the influence is still there, and it needs to be raised and solved step by step. A better explanation would be a great honor. 1981 [Note] Or think that Daiyu should die at the end of spring, not Mid-Autumn Festival. The reason is that there are sentences such as "Try to see the remnants of spring flowers gradually fall, that is when the beauty dies of old age" in "The Song of Burying Flowers", and "Tears dry up in spring". The flowers are haggard,... the sound of Du Yuchun's return, the lonely curtain is empty and the moon marks" and other sentences are evidences that imply the end of spring and the death of people.I don't know that the end of spring and the remnants of flowers are symbolic, but the spirit of burying flowers in the cold moon is substantive. "Burning Flowers" also writes "the beauty is old and dies" and "the beauty is old", probably no one read it, thinking that Daiyu was "old and dead".In fact, this is the meaning of "flower haggard". "Yin" also happens to have sentences such as "Dujuan is speechless at dusk, and He Mo goes back to cover the heavy door...", so it cannot be understood as the time when Du Yu uttered a sound, that is, the day when Daiyu died.It should be noted that "the lonely curtain is empty and the moon marks", the moon is the symbol of autumn, in Xueqin's mind, the three springs and the three autumns are opposite each other, and the "end of spring" means the coming of autumn, so Qingwen's death is writing about the love of autumn, that is, Stealth Daiyu's death. Furthermore, some people said that since Daiyu "died in tears" and died in tears, how could she sink in water.I don't know that the two do not constitute a mutually exclusive "contradictory" relationship.Self-sinking is the consequence of weeping, and the tears have been repaid, and you can pass away.Otherwise, we can only interpret all the tears as being so sick that we don't even have tears, and then we die, which is too silly. As for just saying "the jade belt hangs in the forest, and all the hairpins are buried in the snow", without other evidence, it is asserted that Dai hanged herself from the beam and the hairpins died of freezing in the snow. I think this is a complete misinterpretation of the original meaning: Xueqin, Zhiyan Emphasizing that what they wrote were some unfortunate girls who were "born at the wrong time" and "destined but not lucky", which has a deep meaning; jade belts are hung in the bushes, gold hairpins are buried under the snow, all metaphors, beautiful and precious things born Not at the right time, not at the right place.How does this interfere with the "form" of their demise?Xueqin has never written a single essay without a corresponding "metaphysical" method.
