Chapter 43 Exploration of "Red Mansion" on the eighth floor (3)

Discovery I also did some of the "critical" work that Mr. Lu Xun said in 1948. Of course, I don't think it is "another sequel", but a lost draft of the original work. In the ninth chapter of "A Dream of Red Mansions", the fourth section is dedicated to a table, one by one, stating some plots and accidents that can still be glimpsed from the "volt line" today, with a total of 24 outlines and details. This passage was later seen by Professor Liang Guizhi of Shanxi University, which aroused his strong interest. From this, Mr. Liang determined to explore the lost plots, stories and endings of the characters; he soon wrote a monograph and there was more than one kind.This is the reason why we jointly established "Exploring Lost Studies".

Why do we build this school?One is not "curiosity", and the other is not "innovation".Our common understanding is: if we don’t make a general basis for exploring lost works, understanding and evaluation will fall into a non-scientific situation—actually, it is not understanding and evaluating Cao Xueqin’s original work, but only a fake sequel for Gao E. made a publicity. And Gao E's false usurpation is just a big deception and a big trick in the history of Chinese culture, and it is also a big tragic misunderstanding and loss in the history of literature. We can also find incisive rationale from the works of the sage Mr. Lu Xun. He commented on reading to see if there is a memorization or a "line" that fits the original book, and in order to correctly understand the original book, it is necessary to "must (verb) its truth".

The original words of Mr. are also quoted here—— The supplements in the second book may not be in line with the author's original intention, but the long night and no morning will not deviate from the line of the first book. These few words reveal Mr. Xueqin's deep understanding and thinking about Xueqin's brushwork and the truth of the whole book, and they are not general sayings.Judging from the history of "Hongxue", the arguments of Hu and Yu have both been adopted by Mr. Hu; but from the perspective of literature, Mr. far surpasses them. For example, both Hu and Yu declared in writing that they are not top-notch works.The husband praised him very much and gave him the highest evaluation.Another example is that although Hu and Yu knew that Gao E was a false continuation and reckless usurper, they did not really respect Xueqin—Mr.This marks the limit of the scholar's level of knowledge.

The fundamental question raised by Lu Xun in a chapter (chapter) of "A Brief History" is: (1) Original name—for changing the name to "Dream of Red Mansions". (2) Seek for the authentic version of Xueqin—for the 120 chapters of the fake version that have been circulated for a long time. (3) The spirit of the original work of the big book "expressing truthfully" and "absolutely no ridicule"—for the common theory. (4) Thinking about "Fuxian" and the "after all" in the following text-for Gao E's pseudo-continuation. (5) Seeking the "reason" for the sudden change in Xueqin's family background——for Hu's "sitting and eating mountains and nothing, natural trends".

(6) The gentleman pointed out with deep sorrow: at the end of the 80th chapter, the sad sound has been revealed, and the mist of sadness is all over Hualin, and only Baoyu is the one who breathes—this is an extremely absurd call to the pseudo-continuation (also Criticized and praised the ignorance of the high usurper). (7) Mr. Gao’s comments on Gao Xu are “distinct” and “extremely different”—this is aimed at the delusion of some people who think that Gao Xu is “almost” and “basically based on the original work...”. Therefore, in terms of spiritual purpose, Mr. is the advocate of Tanyi. Exploring Lost Studies——Significance and General Situation

Tanyixue is a new branch of "Hongxue", so some people don't understand its significance, and some famous scholars even question and ridicule it.This is no wonder, when a new science just emerges, it will always be stared at and ridiculed, even in the natural sciences, not to mention the "unprecedented" exploration of this wonderful book-the so-called "difficult to turn" in Gong Dingan's poem. Historians search for the ratio ". Exploring Yi is to get a glimpse of the big picture, big structure, big intentions, big purpose, and big brushwork of Xueqin's complete book-every great work is always more important in the second half. This is common sense and also a rule.This is especially true for me, because the big chapter of this book is the front and back two "fan" texts, symmetrical comparison, front call and back response, front turn and back fall - the true spirit is all behind.I don’t know what to explore, it’s like reading, explaining and admiring for so long in vain, saying it’s “great” in my mouth, but I don’t know what its greatness is and what it’s all about in understanding and understanding.Can't you laugh when you think about it?

Exploring the lost knowledge makes people generally understand the great changes in Baoyu's life experience and the fate of many daughters.It can be said that the feeling is earth-shattering and earth-shattering! This is the "main purpose of talking about love" of a book, which is based on the great structure and writing power of "love list". "Thousands of reds cry", "everything is sad" - not the "love triangle" and "marriage tragedy" of one man and two women. Only by discovering the lost, can we understand how vicious and insidious Gao E's tricks and scams are from the actual spiritual experience: distorting and transforming the greatest and most noble tragedy in China into a small "marriage" in a vulgar way. unfortunate" personal incident.

If there is no discovery, readers will always be deceived by Gao E; even if they know that it is a forgery, they are still limited to a vague concept of "intellectuality", and they still cannot imagine the huge difference between the original book and the forgery, and who is it? Good and who is bad.
