"Author" and "reader" are not specific titles for individuals, let alone titles for on-the-spot conversations.For example, if you meet a famous novelist and call him "Hi, the author...", that's a joke, because it's too impolite.If you want to say "writer", how are you... yes.However, the problem lies in how to transform "readers" into polite language - I have never heard of the term "readers".what to do? In the early days, what did our Chinese novel authors call readers?It's called "Looking at the officer". This title is no longer used.I think it's good, and it makes sense.There are probably two reasons for not using it: one is that it is considered "literary" and does not meet the standard of "vernacular".The second is to think that the "official" is not right - whoever reads it must be an official?too feudal...

Got it wrong. "Looking at officials" has nothing to do with "officials"—for example, Cao Xueqin wrote that Nanny Lai taught her son Lai Shangrong: "...don't say that you are an official, you will be domineering!" Not that kind of "official" . The phrase "watching officials" is not only a respectful tone, but also has a deep meaning: You are the judge "official" who judges right from wrong, or the censor who impeaches bad people and the "senior officer" who inspects bad deeds, please come and judge me This clumsy work is high or low, beautiful or ugly... This is the meaning of "official".

However, if I title this "Preface" "To the Judge", not only will I not be gracious to my heart, but it will cause ridicule or misunderstanding.Things in the world involve "literary words" and Chinese characters and Chinese characters. If you meet people who treat them simply, things are often very troublesome and full of problems. After expressing my contempt, please allow me to call you a "reader" instead of a "reader". Reader: Please evaluate this book and give an evaluation; if you think it is okay, give encouragement; if you think it is not, wrong, please correct me.If you don't give up, you are very fortunate.

"Red Mansion" has 12 floors, and each layer has a new environment. I am afraid that it is not just like "the sun is at the end of the mountain, and the Yellow River flows into the sea; if you want to see a thousand miles, go to a higher level", it is just talking about the high and far-reaching environment, and it does not. Rich and beautiful without layers.The twelfth floor expresses my various understandings and opinions on the book. It is a "selection" accumulated over the years and dedicated to the vast number of "readers" for discussion and exchange.

I never dare to imitate a certain tone of others, and I say "I have studied for decades", and so on; if the "time span" is calculated, it is about fifty-six or seven years. Groping, struggling, and hesitantly marching in the "red field", tasting all kinds of flavors. I dare not speak freely about some of my own opinions, and my writing is also very embarrassing.I re-read it by myself, so I don’t like it.But by chance, leaving such a pen mark and heart mark is a "historical existence" and should not be changed.Therefore, the face is a real tribute, without modification.Moreover, due to the long "time span", the old items may not all be the same as today.All of these, please clearly learn from our intentions to preserve the facts.Knowledge is personality and character, which cannot be obtained by "dressing up" or "decorating".Deceiving officials with fake faces is especially academic corruption, and everyone abandons it.

I have listed twelve sub-topics to choose the bigger one, not limited to these, thirteen, fourteen... I'm afraid there are more.In the current newspapers and periodicals, there are still those who regard me as a "textual research school", and see that I talk about the content of "text" and find it "fresh", saying that my research has "turned".Is that the case? This is not just for the "readers" to speak, but for the "reading officer" to decide the case.I hope I can meet more "Bao Longtu" instead of "Hu Zhixian" (a muddled official in Beijing opera, who accepts bribes and falsely accuses good of evil).

Cao Xueqin's wonderful pen has literature, history, and philosophy, including "truth, goodness, and beauty";The book he wrote, known as the "Encyclopedia", is actually different from the list of dead knowledge in the "Dictionary". . I strongly oppose any practice that distorts or destroys Xueqin's original works and the gist.My research is strictly limited to eighty ancient manuscripts, that is, books close to the original writing.One hundred and twenty chapters of fake "Quanbi" is a cultural deception with political background. Sincerely hope that the "inspector" will make a clear judgment, rehabilitate Xueqin, who has been wronged by Wenhai for more than two hundred years, and redress the grievance of this Chinese music superstar!
