Chapter 51 The Ninth Floor "Red Mansion" Authentic Version (7)

The words Xueqin set up for Fairy Jing Huan obviously came from here. When it comes to Jinghuan, I have to say a few more words.In fact, Xueqin's imagination created a female fairy who "beautiful in the world" is still related to her.The "influence" he received (a common term now, which is similar to "enlightenment", and the old saying is "touching") is "Zhenghe Tiansun" ("Biography" and "Qinyuanchun") Sentence) Tiansun Zhinu, it is this female fairy who "cooperates" with Emperor Ming and Taizhen's life-and-death love.

It turned out that it was Tianbao’s ten-year Qixi Festival, Taizhen set up melons and fruits to beg for a coincidence with Shuangxing, and when Emperor Ming came, the two made an oath together to worship Niunu—— The two stars are above...the love is heavy and the love is deep, and I hope that I will be a couple forever...with this alliance, double stars learn from it! (Singing)...Ask anyone who will fold the certificate tonight? (Student Referral) It's this Yinhan bridge, Shuangshuang Niu actress! In this way, Niu Niu talked to Zhinu, and Zhinu promised that if she didn't break the alliance after a long time, she would "definitely cooperate with her".Later, Fang Si used "Counseling" to write about Qixi Festival in the second year of the Yuan Dynasty, and the two stars of the cow and girl reappeared. Their wishes were expressed in a "Second Offender Indus Tree"——

Qionghua is embroidered around the curtain, and Xiajin shakes the pearls.Doufu Xinggong, Sui Sui will meet tonight.The Milky Way Bi Luo fairy match.Forever and forever, not only day and night. (Fifth shift) I wish to teach others that in the world, husband and wife, they are like me and Yi, always in pairs. Then, in order to remind Minghuang and Taizhen, Qianniu said, "Read the words of the alliance, and you will fight with Yuancheng"!Only then did Weaver Girl agree, "There is no reason to discuss other people's affairs, and waste this good night. Alas! Li Sanlang and Yang Yuhuan, you know that I have spent all night for you"!

Therefore, the twin stars of Niu and Daughter, once in Fangsi's works, are no longer the haters who "look at the Milky Way", but the fairy couple who are in charge of love.This point is an innovation in the history of literature and deserves a big book. So, how does Xueqin feel about this?I said that he not only accepted this novel creation of literary and artistic imagination, but also "secretly used" this "allusion"—that is, the reason why the phrase "because of the unicorn's crouching white head and double star" was formed. Of course, under Xueqin's works, things will not be superficial imitations or simple repetitions.He came up with new ideas under the influence of inspiration, so as to add color to the novel.In the first half, except for this sentence, Xueqin reveals a little bit of scales, and there is only a little bit in the sixty-fourth chapter of the biography——

It must be July, because of the festival of melons and fruits, every family goes to the grave for the autumn festival. Sister Lin feels deeply, so she pays homage in her private room... I can only see the remaining smoke from the furnace, the remaining jade, and the azalea I was watching people put away the tables and move the furnishings (referring to the melon and fruit stove, etc.). But this time the book is not written like Xueqin's, and it's from another hand, so whether the plot and story are in line with Xueqin's original intention is still difficult to judge.In the eighty chapters, there is no response to the word "double star", and Xueqin is the most careful writer, with no isolated pens and gossips. ——What's more, those who look back, probably even those who don't recognize Xueqin as the original author, can't deny that it is Xueqin who "separated chapters and compiled them into a catalog".Xueqin used this sentence without any sign of hesitation (that is, the recitation has changed quite a bit, and from the old manuscripts, there is a little difference in this recitation). , it should not have been written "indiscriminately" or unexplainable.

A lot of information shows that this sentence refers to the fact that later Wen Baoyu and Xiangyun finally got married.There are also those who do not believe in this point, so there is no need to discuss it further.But there are also those who believe. As far as I know, there are quite a few people.However, among the many believers, most of them directly understand the "double star" as referring to Bao and Xiang.I think this is still debatable.In my humble opinion, Xueqin's original intention of using these two characters was not to refer to Bao and Xiang directly, but he actually used the "allusion", that is, Shuangxing is a person who "proves and cooperates", "wanhe" and "counseling".He misunderstood that "Double Stars" refer to Bao and Xiang, and the reason is that he failed to understand that this was borrowed from Fangsi.

Of course, this does not mean that the Wanhe people of Bao and Xiang must also be female fairies, but it is obvious that they are a couple. In the book, Zhinu was not very satisfied with Li Sanlang, thinking that he was a betrayer who ruined Taizhen; He has excuses and is determined to prove it.Bao and Xiang experienced a huge amount of changes, which were extraordinary, and they were almost life and death. When people talked about Baoyu, they generally believed that he married Baochai because he was a failure to Daiyu, and he was also a person who broke the alliance. Forgive me.The cooperating person is probably one of the "double stars" who thinks that Baoyu has betrayed the alliance, and the other explains it, explaining that Baoyu forgot Dai and married the hairpin because of an order, not because of his own intentions, and then the two came together. Try to make Bao and Xiang finally reunite after going through the joys and sorrows, the ups and downs, and the hot and cold world.And these are all based on the golden unicorn as the "cause" and "volt".In this way, it seems to be more in line with Xueqin's original design and the meaning of the words.

There are two songs in the "Reunion", which are also excerpted and watched together today—— (Five offerings) The sky will fill up the hatred, and the sea will fill up the resentment.Xie Cangcang is pitiful. Renovated and reconstructed. ...... Eternal ages prove the romance. Fairy Jing Huan said "I live above the sky of Lihen, and in the sea of ​​sorrow", so we can see that this new title actually comes from Fang Si. (Jiang'er Shui) I'm afraid that the ruthless species, why worry about a broken relationship.The two of you, temper the parting life and death together, break through the love and open the truth.The cause and effect follow the fate.I feel that the reunion is not ordinary, but you meet each other in this reunion palace.

Reading these words and sentences, I always feel "deja vu", because no matter Xueqin's main text or Zhiyan's comments, I can get some clues from them. What's more, it's not a copy of the original, Xueqin didn't "invite out" Daiyu's "dead soul" to sing "new opera", that would be too vulgar.After Daiyu's death, Baochai "broke in", Baoyu had no choice but to do anything (he didn't know about "Daiyu's resurrection"), so he missed Daiyu's closest relatives and boudoirs who were the best with her during her lifetime and could be used as a substitute after her death. Friends - Shi Xiangyun.Qingwen's character type is exactly a combination of Dai type and Xiang type, so when Qingwen is about to die, Haitang will wither first, and after her death, she will become "Furong's daughter". Go, so burn high candles to illuminate the red makeup"), Furong hints at Daiyu ("Furong was born on the autumn river, don't complain to the east wind"), the literary and artistic concepts and techniques here are complex and subtle.

Take the Mid-Autumn Festival as the time and place of reunion in Guanghan Qingxu House.This point also seems to have "influenced" Xueqin.The joint chanting of Dai and Xiangzhong Autumn Night is a key point in the front and rear plots, and it can also be said to be a text that hides the front and hides the back.Everyone dispersed, Baochai went home, and Dai and Xiang were left alone. There is a deep meaning in it.The two recited the important poem "crossing the crane shadow in the cold pond, burying the soul of the flower in the cold moon".The last sentence implicitly refers to Xiangyun, and the next sentence implicitly refers to Daiyu. Daiyu (the next year?) was buried here on the eve of Mid-Autumn Festival. ("The soul of burial of flowers" is a sentence written by Ye Xiaoluan, a young poet in the Ming Dynasty. See Ye Shaoyuan's "Continuing Yaowen" records the quotations of the question and answer between the deceased daughter Xiaoluan and Master Li'an.) Absurd ("The soul of flowers and birds is always hard to stay"; it has been seen in "The Song of Burying Flowers", what is it related to "Funeral Poems"?).Miaoyu listened in and stopped her. Continue to the last page, try to see what she said:

"Good poem, good poem, it's really too sad! No need to go any further..." "It's just too decadent and miserable. This is also related to one's temperament. So I came out to stop it." "Now that we are accepting the law, we should return to the original face. If we just lose the true feelings and go to search for strange things, one will lose our boudoir face, and the other will have nothing to do with the problem." "I have to turn it around in this way, even though there is a sad sentence in front, it's not a big problem."
