Chapter 45 Ninth floor "Red Mansion" authentic version (1)

There is not a lack of evidence to explore the lost, such as the "fuxian" in the text of the novel (Lu Xun attaches the most importance to this essence), the unintentional and intentional teasing in the narrative, the reminiscences in "Zhipi" and the Qing Dynasty people who have seen Xueqin. The records in this book, coupled with the researcher's research, are quite rich in content. There is evidence in the book: the real version of "Red Mansion" ends with Bao and Xiang reuniting after all the hardships.There is a record outside the book: From the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, there are no fewer than a dozen people who have seen this ending. They all say the same thing, including scholars, scholars, professors, and "red fans".In the book and outside the book, there is no doubt that the printing is consistent.

What is the significance of Bao and Xiangzhong?Is it still the same cliché of "big reunion"? Such doubters have the right to challenge them.But I don't deny that, so I'm afraid it's because I didn't think deeply about the problem and interpret it carefully?The reunion of the two of them is "lonely proud of the world", "same smell", "confidant", and "hiding together"-how to reunite with "beautiful talents", "husband honors wife, honors ancestors and Guangzong" " compared to the vulgar old cliché?Don't you feel that you can't distinguish between black and white?

The title said: Could it be that something is created out of nothing, and it is a light that burns in the dark.Even if Yi Yixin looks confused, he gradually feels that Zhaoxi is in sight.It's a pity that ten years of hard work have been usurped and polluted by him.Please look at it and think about it, the truth and the false are cloudy and muddy. —— Baochai after eighty chapters Baoyu had no choice but to "obey the order", and married Xue Baochai whom he had no feelings for.But in Cao Xueqin's original book, how did he write Baochai's words? It can be summed up in one sentence: After Yu and Chai got married, they still maintained their old relationship.

What about the old relationship?That is to respect each other, but not to love each other. Some people said: "After Daiyu's death, Baochai filled the vacancy in Baoyu's relationship to a certain extent." They also said: "Baoyu is very willing to marry Baoyu and Baochai." A "fat comment" by the author concluded: "This comment fully shows that the two have a happy relationship after marriage, and they can talk about each other. How many words they had no chance to express before marriage can be poured out one by one now." "After Daiyu's death, Baoyu, The marriage of Baochai has also become a very natural thing, without the slightest force. Therefore, after the two get married, there are still quite a long text describing the two people's heart-to-heart talk and lingering love." kid?

This combination of two into one theory, I do not agree with period period. "Talk about the past" can be said to be correct, but it does not mean "lingering words of love". That comment is the comment of "Geng Chen Ben" and "Qi Ben", the text says: Terrific.When Baoyu and Baochai meet each other leisurely, it is either Daiyu or Xiangyun, which is afraid that the essence of the article will be missed.If this is not the case, then Baoyu will sit and forget his love for a long time, and will be abandoned by Baoqing, so that Wen Cheng and his wife will have nothing to talk about their old love in the future. What's the fun!

This batch is very important. Even if the two have a postscript of "being a couple", they still have to use this batch as positive and explicit proof.But what kind of "couple" did the two of them "make"?I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as it is generally imagined.This article mainly wants to illustrate this point. As far as I can see, they are married, but not married.What is this sentence?That is to say, they "worshiped the flower hall and entered the bridal chamber" and fulfilled the wedding etiquette arranged by their parents-that's all.They are actually sisters and brothers.

How do you say this?Please look at Baochai's poem riddle lamenting the ominousness of Jia Zheng: Who will carry two sleeves of cigarettes after the court strikes?There is always no chance in the quilt beside the piano.Xiaochou doesn't need to be reported by chicken men, and there is no trouble for the maid for five nights.Jiaoshou returned from morning to evening, and his heart was tormented day after year.As time goes by, we should cherish it, and let the wind and rain change. Readers can all know that in Cao Xueqin's works, one stroke is often used for dual purposes or even for numbers, and the poems and riddles are all secretly set up for one's own love and destiny.Qinse and quilt pillows all refer to the meaning of husband and wife—but how can we explain the saying "There is always no fate!"

Look at the poems about white begonias (it should be noted that this time the poetry club is immediately after Baoyu's dream of "embroidered mandarin ducks dream Zhaojiang Yunxuan" rebelled against the marriage of "gold and jade". Fragrant pills are made of four seasons of white stamens), Baochai wrote: Treasure Fangzi and close the door in the daytime, hand in hand to irrigate moss pots.The rouge washes out the autumn shadow, and the ice and snow attract the soul of the dew.When you are light, you know that the flowers are more beautiful, and there is no trace of jade if you worry too much.Wanting to repay Baidi for his cleanliness, Tingting fell into a coma without saying a word.

This seventh sentence is Baochai's own way.That is to say, I repay the nature of creation with my clean virgin body. Throughout the book, there are many hints of this nature. For example, the names of various people are often mentioned in Tang poems, and the source of the name Baochai is specifically cited by Li Shangyin's "Baochai is full of dust every day".Let's talk about it, what's going on here? We might as well speculate that the process should be like this: after Cao Xueqin wrote eighty chapters, Yu and Chai had indeed "married", and their "talking about old times" might have happened during the "bridal chamber wedding night". start.What are they talking about?Baoyu must first confess his heart to Baochai, openly and honestly, and tell his love for Daiyu all his life, vowing to be like a mountain and a river, never changing life and death. Daiyu?It would be unrighteous for me to destroy the oath.Baochai had a thorough understanding of everything about Baoyu, and had already seen through his mind. He probably expected this move. It would not be easy to win over Baoyu again, so he had to answer decisively: I would like to keep the promise for Sister Lin, and I can't just rely on myself and trap the two of you into injustice, then I will fall into suspicion, and it will be meaningless for us to be husband and wife; I can't force you, now I would rather use In the name of husband and wife living alone①, living in the same room and living apart, each keeping clean, so that you have a sense of affection for the deceased. This is our own heart, and outsiders don't need to worry about whether they know it or understand it.Baoyu didn't want Baochai to be able to do this, and was deeply shocked by her spirit of determination and understanding. She was extremely grateful and respectful of Baochai on this point, thinking that this fulfilled his character and fulfilled his wish. She treats each other like a superior (not a lover).This is why the true meaning is written in the twelve songs "Lifetime Mistakes". ——

Facing the sky, the snow in the mountains is shining brightly; in the end, I will never forget, the lonely forest in the fairyland outside the world. ... Even if the case is raised with eyebrows, it is difficult to settle. The term "Gaoshi", if you don't know the reason, doesn't it seem completely meaningless?But how could Cao Xueqin use excessive words?And "sparkling" is still appropriate for the meaning of "clean", and it should not be mistaken for "smart and clever".In this way, it is appropriate to read the sentence "Huai Jin Mourning Jade". "Huai" is the meaning of gratitude, Gao Ben modified it and changed it to "sorrowful gold and mourning jade", which is completely gone.

In the first eighty chapters, it is actually implied that Baoyu has always only respected Baochai, but never has any frivolity or intimacy.It is like writing that because of seeing Baochai's arm, I am not without envy and love, but then I write clearly: just because I was born on her body, I have no part in this life.How understandable.Another example is "Meng Zhao". Baoyu didn't know that Baochai had been embroidering beside her while she was asleep. Shouldn't!How I fell asleep and blasphemed him. This kind of place not only explained Baoyu's attitude towards Baochai, but also foreshadowed the actual relationship when they "become their husband and wife" in the future.Once you understand this essential point, you will no longer think that there will be any "lingering love words" between Yu and Chai in the future. Baochai is called a marriage, but actually lives alone.So Aunt Xue said that she had a weird temper since she was a child, and she didn't like flowers and fans. Mother Jia said that her residence was like a snow cave, so she couldn't do it, and young girls should be taboo.They all imply this.Every time Li Wan commented on the society's works, he would always recommend Baochai's sentence as the chief, which also contained sympathy and respect for the special situation.What's more, most of the inscriptions and chants involving Xingyue and Chang'e allude to Baochai's life experience.Gai Chang'e swallowed the elixir by mistake and ran to Guanghan, where the blue sea and blue sky made her feel lonely forever. She was different from ordinary widows, but was caused by herself. The relationship that Cao Xueqin wants to write about is very special, beyond the common imagination, and difficult for ordinary people to understand.Because of this, some people later felt that Baochai's words like "There is always no destiny in the quilt beside the qin" were incomprehensible, and felt that there must be a mistake, so they reassigned the riddle to Daiyu.This phenomenon is extremely noticeable.Readers try to think about it, and they will be able to understand the key to misunderstanding the wrong school.
