Chapter 53 The Ninth Floor "Red Mansion" Authentic Version (9)

What is Xueqin's original state? You must first take a look at the following key points: 1. Baoyu, the protagonist of the book, lives in "Yihong and Quick Green", which is simplified as the "Yihong" courtyard where the province is green and the red is left. Among them are "two plants of bananas and tangs", where the bananas are green and the tangs are red.Baoyu pointed out early on in the test that only the Jiaotang should be chanted at the same time in order to be regarded as beautiful.Later, when "sacrificing relatives", the five laws of Yihongyuan were inscribed in response to the order of the concubine Yuan, which is also the "green jade", "red makeup", "red sleeves" and "green smoke" that connect the first "two two" and "opposite" in Dongfeng. The righteousness is obvious when the confrontation is mentioned together.

2. "Red" symbolizes Shi Xiangyun, and "green" symbolizes Lin Daiyu.Daizhi's residence is a piece of green, and Xiang's wine and teeth, as well as many other hints, are all poetic allusions to Begonia. 3. "Zhipi" once clearly pointed it out: Brother Yu, "Those who are thick are only frowning."It means that the only ones who are closest to me in life are Shao'er and Xiangyun, and there are countless others.This sentence is the eyes of the whole book. 4. By the seventy-sixth chapter, the important key point of the Mid-Autumn Festival couplets, Chai has "exited" outside the garden, only Dai and Xiang are the protagonists, watching the moon and reciting poems all night, the meaning is extremely profound and important, and it is in the layout of the book A big juncture.

5. In the couplet, Miaoyu stopped me when I went to "crossing the crane shadow in the cold pond, and burying the soul of the flower in the cold moon".The crane shadow symbolizes Xiangyun, and the flower soul symbolizes Daiyu (the flower soul is seen in the original book. Cheng Ben changed the "poetry soul" arbitrarily, which completely missed the purpose).The two sentences tell the ending of each of them for each of them, which is a prophetic technique. 6. I have deduced that, according to more than ten items of internal evidence in this book, Daiyu did not die of illness, but sank in water, that is, in the second year at this place at this night, Daiyu could no longer support herself due to various distant causes and near-effects. So he threw himself into the cold pond, the so-called "a generation of Qingcheng chasing the waves" (Daiyu's poem), also has a layer of hidden meaning.

7. It can be seen from this that Daiyu is the heroine in the first half of the story, she is in the middle of the road, and the jade is dead and the flowers are withered.Xiangyun is the heroine in the second half of her continuation. She is the only one who does not appear until the twentieth episode.It is a big chapter in the whole book. 8. When Lu Xueguang (sound yan) ate venison once, Baoyu and Xiangyun were already the protagonists. Aunt Li specifically pointed out: "A brother with a jade and a sister with a golden unicorn" ! ——This is the real marriage of gold and jade (the Xue family is fake gold). (A section of the "Golden Jade" public case also has both true and false sides, see "The Mystery of Gold and Jade" for details.)

If you have understood the above eight points, you will naturally realize that Xueqin's original book is full of ingenuity and painstaking efforts. It is completely different from Cheng and Gao's writing. It broke Xueqin's heart and destroyed Xueqin's pen and ink. In this case, one thing is worth noting: that is, many records say that there is a "different version" or "true version" or "original version". After eighty chapters, it is completely different from the Cheng version that is popular today. Get married. Professor Jiang Liangfu of Hangzhou University conveyed an extremely fascinating and precious clue (contained in "I read "Dream of Red Mansions").I am now quoting this verse in its entirety, because it is not long in the first place, so that readers will not have to search for it when they want to see the whole thing——

I read a manuscript in which it was said that Baoyu later became a watchman.One night, he crossed a bridge, took a rest on the bridge, and put a small lantern in his hand beside the bridge.At this time, there was a small boat under the bridge, and there were two women in the boat. One of them stuck out his head, saw the lantern, and said in surprise, "This is the night lantern of Rongguo Mansion!" Then he stuck out his head even more. Looking at the people on the bridge, he looked at them and asked, "Are you Brother Bao?" The person on the bridge replied, "Who are you?" The woman said, "I'm Xiangyun." Here?" Xiangyun said, "It's gone, it's gone! How can you be here?" Baoyu replied, "Everyone!" Xiangyun cried and said, "The Rongguo Mansion is all scattered, and there is no one who is not there. Suffering. You are a watchman, and I am a fisherwoman!" He invited Baoyu to disembark and talk.The other woman in the boat is Xiangyun's girl. "I only have this loyal servant girl following me now!" (Ru Chang notes: it must be Cuilu.) It turns out that Xiangyun has long since lost his home.After talking for a while, Baoyu left in Xiangyun's boat, and he didn't know where he was going after that. (Page 260 of "I Read A Dream of Red Mansions". The emphasis is added by me——Ru Chang)

Mr. Jiang also said: "Dream of Red Mansions is also known as Stone Story, also known as Jin Yuyuan. This Xiangyun also has a golden unicorn on its body, hence the name." I read it, so we all talked about it together—it was Mr. Jiang who read it when he was studying at Tsinghua University, but the library is not Tsinghua University, but may be Beijing Chengli Beiman Girls’ High School or Kongde School. (Reported on February 5, 1980, written by Jiang Kunwu.) I read Jiang Wen on July 13, 1982.After reading it, I was very happy, because it completely coincided with the theme of my speculation (the true meaning of "gold and jade"), and the specific plot is so moving that no one can imagine or make it up!

Mr. Jiang is a scholar with a cautious attitude, so the title refers to the manuscript he saw as a "sequel".As I said earlier, even if it is not Xueqin's lost manuscript, it can only come from his closest relatives and make up for him, because it is extremely difficult for outsiders to do so. Now, it's time for me to talk about how I understand the ins and outs of this story. It turns out that the story of this story is very subtle and obvious as early as the forty-fifth chapter-it can be described as a strange feeling and a strange writing, which is beyond the expectations of ordinary people!

Why do you say this?You read the book "Father and Rain Evening", the autumn rain is drenching, and Daiyu is sitting alone in the autumn window, and she is about to go to bed, when she suddenly reports: The second master Bao is here!This is beyond Daiyu's expectation!When Baoyu came in and looked at him, she saw that he was wearing a coir hat and wearing a wooden clog. She said with a smile at the first sentence: Where did the fisherman come from! When Baoyu was about to resign and said that she would give her a coir hat, she said again: I don't want him!Put on that, and become a fisherman in paintings and dramas!

When Baoyu really left, she deliberately took out a lantern for Baoyu and asked him to hold it by himself. There is a layer of intention.Xueqin's brushwork is probably so wonderful.If you treat him like other novelists, and "one size fits all", things will naturally become indistinguishable and the same.
