Chapter 52 The Ninth Floor "Red Mansion" Authentic Version (8)

Her continuation sentences, from "Woman", "Servant", "Empty Tent", "Xianping" to "Lu Nong" and "Shuang Chong", and then to Bumao Dengyuan, the strange stones are like ghosts and ghosts, and the strange woods are like monsters. Tiger and wolf - it can be seen that there are many accidents and the plot is sinister.In the end, "Chaoguang" and "Dawn of Dew" began to shine through the morning sun, thousands of birds vibrated the forest, a monkey crowed in the valley, bells rang and roosters sang-this is what happened after Bao and Dai's round ended, and Bao and Xiang's round:

How can there be happiness or sorrow? How can it be bothering to have no worries? Fangqing is only for self-indulgence, and who can tell the elegance. When you are tired and tired, you can talk about cooking tea in more detail. In the second half of Xueqin's original book, it can be seen from these words that there are many double-layered connotations. This article focuses on spying on Xueqin's various ingenious connections in conception from some words. It does not mean that Xueqin writes novels relying on "allusions" and "touching" but mainly on life and thoughts.Needless to say, but there was a time when Jomon writers had a standard that "must" cover everything, and it was not an old habit that the responsible person should be prepared. Let me explain it here to avoid misunderstanding.If there is no misunderstanding, then I can add a little bit more. Xueqin chose the Mid-Autumn Festival as an important festival to write Dai and Xiang couplet sentences, and there is more than one intention, except that I speculated that Daiyu died in the mid-autumn cold moon and cold pond. In addition, I am afraid that the reunion of Bao and Xiang in another day is also related to the Mid-Autumn Festival.At the beginning of Xueqin's complete book, there is a love story about Jiao Xing in Yucun Village during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Zhi Yan once said, "Start with Mid-Autumn Poems, collect them with Mid-Autumn Poems, and use Poetry Society in Autumn. The three springs are lamented, but they use the three autumns as the key." "Revelation, this "using Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Collection" and "using Sanqiu as the key" must have major plots related to it. If it is not the meeting of Bao and Hunan, why is this "Festival of Reunion"?From my point of view, I think this may be the meaning. Of course, this is only what I can think of, because in Zhongfangsi's design, Li and Yang, the special envoys of the two stars, will reunite on the Mid-Autumn Festival "Reunion Festival". Qin took advantage of this, and looked at it in connection with "because of the Qilin Fubai's first double star", or it may not be for nothing.

At this point in the writing, there is a suspicion that Chen Yi is not high.But my original intention, not here, is that I really want to use this not-so-boring way to bring up the thread and draw people's attention to the relationship with the content.Fangsi produced dramas, Lianting was fond of music, and the two of them made friends. It should also be mentioned that Fangsi had written a preface for Lianting's "Taiping Leshi", which was very appreciated, and Lianting was Fangsi's commentator on palace tunes.There are seven laws of giving Fang Si in the Neem Pavilion, which I have repeatedly quoted in "Cao Xueqin's Family History and Life" and "Xin Zheng":

The melancholy Jiang Guanbai happened, and the broken clouds and zero geese were all desolate. The happy years pass by absurdly, and the old articles become fearful. No one ever underestimated Ruan's nationality, and the poor and worrying heaven also favored Yu Qing. Across the world, only this can eliminate the eternal love. Just look, if Hong and Cao had no exchange of thoughts and feelings, and only relied on "literary voice", such poems would not be possible to write.I also once said: If the title and the author have been concealed, then some people will believe that this poem is a work dedicated to Xueqin.It can be seen from this that the relationship between speaking and writing is not just a matter of some literary phenomena.This play is far inferior to the novel in terms of ideological level and spiritual realm; but we should not only make such a silly "comparison", but also focus on the historical relationship between the history of thought and the history of literature.For example, if there is no such thing, it will be difficult to produce it all at once in terms of style and technique.In the same way, from an ideological point of view, although it is much more complicated, if there are only Linchuan Four Dreams without the front, it will not be easy to produce all at once.Fang Si wrote in "Biography":

In the present and ancient love scene, who is really sincere?But if the sincerity persists, they will eventually get married.There is no need to worry about the south and the north in thousands of miles. Two hearts talk about life and death.Laugh at the children of the world who are disappointed by fate - ruthless ears!Feel gold and stone, return to heaven and earth.Show the day, pay attention to history.Seeing the loyalty of the ministers and the filial piety, it is always from love.The first sages never deleted Zheng and Wei, and we took righteousness to turn over the palace levy (zhi).Borrow Taizhen to spread a new word: love. ("Man Jianghong")

From here, we can not only see the difference in thought between Fangsi and Xueqin, but also the origin and relationship of their creations.Fangsi was finalized in the twenty-seventh year of Kangxi (1688); Xueqin was created in the early Qianlong period and died in 1764.Fang Si suffered a family change, and was not tolerated by his parents, so he was in an extremely precarious situation.The two are not without similarities. They are separated for a while, and then they look at each other first.Due to the scourge of party disputes between the Manchu and Han ministers in the Kangxi Dynasty, he was deposed and caused a storm. How could Xueqin not know the reason.Various causes and conditions made Xueqin interested in it, aroused his deep thinking, and played a certain role in his creation of novels, which can be traced.Understand, it is not a good way to put it in a "vacuum" and look at things in isolation. You have to look at its up, down, front, back, left, and right, what was the situation at the time, and what things were around. close to correct.Mention, in fact, is just a more convenient example.

"Red Mansion" Ji Zhenqin I am writing this article to commemorate the 220th anniversary of Cao Xueqin's death, so what I am talking about should be Xueqin's writings, Xueqin's will, not someone else's.But at present, ordinary readers still mistakenly think that the popular one hundred and twenty chapters can "represent" Xueqin's true original intention, so there is always a conclusion of "Bao and Dai's love tragedy" that is unbreakable in their hearts - but they don't know this. It is not Xueqin's original thoughts and pen and ink.It is true that there was love between Bao and Dai, and it was tragic afterwards, but it was far from the "reformed" one in the forty chapters of Cheng Kanben's pseudo-continuation. no.

Then, what is the conceptual layout and talent of Xueqin's original book?Let me give you a brief introduction.However, it must be stated first: Xueqin's original book was destroyed long ago after eighty chapters, and now it can only be deduced based on various clues.Deduction may not be accurate or realistic.But in any case, it is very different from the "model" of the pseudo-continuation, and it is completely different from black to white; no matter how imprecise, it is enough for reference, imagination, and thinking.So what I want to talk about is another realm, which is not similar to the long-standing impression (deceived by false continuations).This is the meaning of the title "The Otherland of "Red Mansion"".
