Chapter 16 Daughter of "Red Mansion" on the third floor

The version of Xueqin's real book, with 108 chapters, wrote 108 daughters, so it is called "Fresh Heroes"-this is a composition of 108 "Green Forest Heroes" intentionally. The ingenious confrontation can be said to keep pace with each other, and it is a miracle in the history of Chinese novels. Xueqin used this to redress her daughter's grievances, which has a profound meaning. The poem says: One hundred and eight teams are tied for half points, and heroes are against Cheng Wen. The green forest and the red powder are really strange stories, and the history of exhaling and redressing grievances has never been heard.

"Powder Hero" The four characters "Fresh and Fan Heroes" are the theme of "Red Mansion", and also Xueqin's spiritual insights and feelings of regret in writing.To put it bluntly, we must first inspire benevolence and friendship from this perspective and level of feeling. "Beauty powder hero" is to counteract "green forest hero".The pair that could have been more "stable" was "Pretty in Pink", but Xueqin felt that it was too vulgar to use, and the words were not appropriate, so it was easy to cause misunderstandings, so I changed it a little, and felt the smell, atmosphere, and Literary and literary sentiments are completely different, washing away the common customs.

This is a great language creation. When we say "language", we mean "literary language", not "daily use" or "documentation", which can be used everywhere.Moreover, this is not just a matter of words, but a "declaration" of knowledge and feelings-if it were in the West, I am afraid someone would have called it a "ism". Xueqin is also self-effacing, saying that these "strange women" are just "little talents and kindness" and not "shattering the world". Some people think of martial arts novels when they see the word "hero".Take the knife and move the axe, urge the horse to go into battle, and win the three armies... He is a hero.Others—especially women, where are the heroes—you can’t even tell the “gender” clearly, it’s ridiculous!

This is a common view. If you don't understand yourself, you will laugh at others. The hero, the essence of the plant is more powerful; the hero, the animal is superior.Taken together, it is a metaphor for an extraordinary person who stands out from the crowd. If we talk about "gender", then the term "heroine" has long been commonly used.Li Qingzhao, a poetess, said: "Being a hero in life, and a hero in death." How did she become a hero? In Xueqin's works, daughters each have their own heroes. However, why highlight the word "fat powder"?The wonderful thing is here.

Xueqin's meaning: Water is the "quality" of a daughter, but "quality" also needs to be "text" to make it more beautiful; therefore, Confucius has already shown people the principle of "gentleness and gentleness"!Many people still don't understand this relationship. Therefore, the "fans" are the "literature" that the daughters help the "quality"-the so-called "literary decoration" is just right. The daughter is beautiful in quality, but she must wait for the "pink, glossy and fat" to see her beauty. The style and quality complement each other, and the two complement each other.

So when my daughter gets up together, the first thing she does is to dress up.After Ping'er cried, he had to "make up" immediately, otherwise he would not be able to see people.At this time, Ping'er knew that the makeup and powder in Yihong Courtyard were all specially made, and they were really exquisite.And "pink, glossy and fat" is an important impression of grandma when she saw Sister Feng - she deeply knows her beauty is beyond reach! The daughters in the garden have to buy cosmetics, and the ones bought by the managers are all inferior products, which cannot be used, and are a waste of money; they have to send their own people to buy them before they can be used.

You see, cosmetics are very useful for daughters. Therefore, reading "The Red Mansion" must understand the rich meaning and great nostalgia of the "heroes". Who should be on the "Flag Hero List" in the book?There are too many: Sister Feng, Tanchun, Xiangyun, Ping'er, Yuanyang, Third Sister You, Qingwen, Xiuju, Xiaohong should be at the top of the list.Their talents, insight, courage and perseverance are admirable. "Walk into" the red building from here, and you will realize that only this side is the theme of the book, the purpose of the book, the lifeblood of the book, and the soul of the book.

These "fan heroes" belong to the "Bo Ming Division"! Here lies the great tragedy—it is definitely not a "smashing trick" between Chai and Dai competing for marriage. Talking about the characters in "The Red Mansion", exploring the endings of these characters in the following texts, and studying how the author expresses their superb brushwork must grasp this center in order to have a standard of measurement. My view of women, and my view of women, one is the galaxy in the sky, and the other is the dirty water in the toilet. The spiritual world of the original book, and the spiritual world of the forty chapters after the pseudo-continuation, one is the scorpion in the cloud, and the other is the rotting mouse in Kusama.The distance between them is so great that it can no longer constitute any "comparison" - because it is purely "two worlds".

The poem says: It's a taste to pity the rotten rats, and shed tears of heroes. Mengchuang is also a kind of sentimental, who will tear down the Qibao Tower. Xiangyun is a "fan hero" In the fifth chapter "Fantasy", Xiangyun Quwen said: "Fortunately, heroes are born with generosity and magnanimity. They never care about their children's personal feelings, just like the moonlight shining on a jade hall." Only "Shu Preface" "Heroes" Be a "hero".I started with "hero". People may have doubts: why not follow the crowd and take this alone, how can it be as smooth as a "hero"?Isn't it against the public?

I said: no.Please listen to me. Xiangyun later took Kuiguan in, disguised her as a boy, and named her "Wei Daying". What does this mean?Gai Mingyu said that "only a great hero is his true color", and he loves heroism.So it is "fortunately born heroes are generous and magnanimous".If the "hero" becomes ordinary. Doubtful: How can women use the word "hero"?It's too rare. I said: Don't you see that Qin Keqing dreamed of Sister Feng, saying: "Auntie, you are the hero of the makeup team!" This is Xueqin's original creation, which is extremely important.Why do you suspect that it is "unreasonable"?

There is another reference: Zhi Yan revealed that there is a chapter titled "Wang Xifeng is a hero who knows his destiny and is strong" in the lost text.This is an example of "noun" being used as "adjective". When Xueqin was the first to use his own calligraphy and syntax, some people would not allow him to create his own great words, and he would make random changes to pull the great words into generalized commonplaces.sad husband! If you ask: How do you meet the heroes of Xiangyun? There are many examples. For example, she is the only one who dares to criticize Lin Daiyu and speaks out. For example, as soon as Xue Baoqin came, he warned her: don't go to my wife's house—everyone there is trying to harm us.It's pointing at Aunt Zhao's group. For example, when she heard that Xing Xiuyan was sent to the Yingchun room, she was wronged and suffered unspeakably, so that when it was cold, she had to pawn her clothes in exchange for money to pay for the women and girls—she was immediately angry, stood up, and went to question Yingchun.Baochai stopped immediately to dissuade him.So Daiyu laughed at her: "What are you pretending to be Jing Ke and Nie Zheng!" Isn't this what a hero is?Why doubt it? I advise those who always think that they are smart and that Xueqin's "language level" is not as good as his: be more modest, learn more from Xueqin, and don't be too busy to be the "sir" and "teacher" of revision. Xueqin often uses idioms on purpose, but wants to change one or two characters; sometimes she tries to avoid clichés and come up with a little new idea-all the rotten Confucian corporals "do not accept", change it as soon as they pick up the pen, and change "return" to the same stereotyped The rotten place is still complacent, thinking that he has made meritorious deeds. This is what Sun Tongsheng wrote in the "Jiaxu Book".Those who don't know the truth, beware of being fooled!
