Chapter 89 Yonghong Quatrains Department of Songs

The poems and rhymes about Xueqin and "Red Mansion" written in my life are so numerous that it is difficult to determine them; it is a pity that they are sparse in nature and have never been compiled and copied, so that they are scattered and cannot be found.My friends knew about my situation, and they came to speak more often, "I think it's impossible", and advised me to collect it quickly and save the remnants, which is better than returning it all to rats and beetles.I was naturally moved when I heard it, and more importantly, the content of these poems actually recorded some "footprints" in the development history of Hongxue over the past few decades; Between characters.I completely discarded it, and I feel too irresponsible, and there is a way to miss the delivery date.

But I have too many things to do, and I lose sight of the other, broken suitcases and empty boxes, messy papers, scattered everywhere, and I am really at a loss and "at a loss." A few days ago, suddenly there were overseas audio books and poems.So this gave me "enlightenment"-why don't I start from this kind of poem?Wouldn't it be fun too?Yes, that's the idea.Only because of the limited space here, I will give one or two first, as a part of the leopard, and a taste of the tripod. Mr. Pan Shou, a famous Singaporean poet, has a false character, and he has "Overseas Lu Poems", which is well-known in the singing circle.This spring, suddenly there was a ink book banner in the post, and it was damaged and recited. A quatrain in the title said: "The world is an absurd dream. How can you wake up from the dream of the Red Chamber? But you laugh at the dream and talk about the dream. You are more crazy than Ruan Cao in two weeks!" There is also a small note of two lines: "The second rhyme is rewarded to Mr. Ruchang's poem Laohui and the old book to present Professor Ce Zong's research on the Dream of Red Mansions. I beg for Ying's instruction. Pan, the younger brother of Renshen Kaichunxu, was sent to Singapore." Zhu Yin Two parties: "Pan Shou Changshou" and "Xu Zhi's eighty post-work".

When I got this poem, I suddenly recalled an old event: In the autumn of 1986, when I revisited the University of Wisconsin in North America, I saw a poem hanging on the wall of Mr. Zhou Cezong’s office. ", it is said that Brother Ce Zong initiated the International Symposium on Red Studies.On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, Brother Ce Zong invited me to his "abandoned garden" to drink and enjoy the moon together. He also benefited from "Overseas Lu Poems", and the title page narrates the whole story of this poem.After I read it, I was delighted, and it rhymed with it: "Overseas Red House Overseas Poems, Whiteheads recite and look forward to luck at the same time. A book is important to all people in the world, and who knows the origin of love can be traced back to Ruan Chi."

I didn't know that Brother Ce Zong sent the humble sentence to Mr. Pan.Now that the agreement was made suddenly, Fang Ru woke up like a "dream" - believe it, but what happened five or six years ago really felt like a "dream". My last sentence refers to the influence of Ruan Ji, a virtuous Jin, on Xueqin when Brother Ce Zong wrote the preface to his book "A Biography of Cao Xueqin".Although I also touched on this meaning in "Xiao Zhuan", it was too brief; since I wrote this poem, I decided to create a special chapter in my new book "Dream of Red Mansions and Chinese Culture" to explain the details.After the book was published, this chapter especially attracted overseas attention.This kind of process, recalling it, is full of meaning.

In the summer, Professor Kang Laixin, a female red scholar in Taiwan, came to Beijing for a visit and brought a copy of "Little Songs of Yihong" as a gift.When I saw it, it was a photocopy of Mr. Wang Shumin's handwriting in Taiwan. The whole part was a poem related to "Red Mansion", mainly based on Qijue (Da'an Publishing House, April 1992).Mr. Wang said to himself that when he first read "Red Mansion" when he was young, he couldn't continue to read the later chapters until the 27th chapter "The Song of Burying Flowers". ", the central theme, was compiled into one volume, titled "Reliance on Red".It can be said that they are different from each other, and they have their own family. ——Of course this reminds me of my regret that many of my rhymes chanting red are scattered.

When I read "A Little Ode to the Red", I saw that it was rich in emotion and exquisite in writing, and my emotions were always expressed on the back of the paper [Note].His overall style is graceful and honest, without the habit of rough and bold.But when I read the question "Hong Xue" on page 29, I couldn't help but clapped my hands and laughed!The sentence says: "Smelly new confusion sees Bianzhen, how has the strength of character ever been respected by scholars? Qinpu did not expect it at the time: the school of red in the sky is called 'friends'!" This is indeed the voice of a sincere person with feelings, some I can't help it."

Looking at page 31 again, I suddenly saw the title of "Du Po", which made me feel ashamed - the preface said: "Reading Mr. Zhou Ruchang's "Dream of Red Mansions and Chinese Culture", the new preface says that Cao Xueqin's collection of literary talents is elegant The great achievement.....", the poem is also a seven masterpieces: "The literary talent is unique and good at the field, and the person is as crazy as jade. Exploring the new and reviewing the past, poor effort: Reading through the Red Mansion-Ruchang." According to the new preface, it means that in the same year that my book was published in Taipei, the mainland edition was also published, and the new preface was written for the mainland edition.However, Mr. Wang, who lives in Taiwan, specifically mentioned the new preface of this edition, and it is interesting to think about it.

After I read it, I reconciled the two poems with the original rhyme. The sentence said: "Thousands of miles are far apart, like a mustard needle, and happy to meet poetry and rain to moisten the red forest. There is true knowledge in the world, and it can still benefit a good voice across water."" Fenmo has always been a good place to work, and plain clothes have turned into madness. The Red House leads to the Zhongnan Path, and the word "Shouchang" is engraved on Yanshi." From the collection of poems, we know that Mr. Wang Shumin is an old man of the old Peking University, and he chanted the "Red Mansion" (the former site of Peking University) in Beitan.His poems also reveal the heart song that he is also a descendant of Yan and Huang, and he hopes that the two sides of the strait will walk hand in hand.He has a lot of good sentences, but it is difficult to quote more of his small essays.

As for Mr. Zhou Cezong, there are too many articles on the peace between me and him because of "Red", and it is impossible to record them all.Today I only remember one humble sentence, which is attached at the end of the article—this is the title sentence of his academic commemorative collection at the age of seventy-five. Yun, maybe it can also be regarded as a small profile in the history of Hongxue?The sentence says: "When Hongmeng opened up a town, how can it be that the Hong family's surname is Zhou? It is advisable to form a strange alliance to move the world: build a red building straight to the universe!"

~~~~~~~~~~ [Note] Its "Art Exhibition" says: "The old dream of 'absurdity' is in vain, who will explain the absurdity! From the exhibition of clever business and art, traffickers also like to talk about red buildings!" That is one example. 1992
