Chapter 54 The Ninth Floor "Red Mansion" Authentic Version (10)

At this point, readers may wonder: This is wrong!It was about Xiangyun, but it was Jing. Why did "Fumai" fall on Daiyu again? It should be noted that this is the special relationship between Xiang and Dai. That is to say, as I said, Xiangyun is Daiyu's successor, or is called a "stand-in". Her two names each have a "Xiang" character. It secretly uses the allusion of "E Huang Nv Ying" as a metaphor.The character Qingwen is a "combined type" of the character types of Xiang and Dai. Therefore, when she is about to die, Haitang (the symbol of Xiang) will wither;For this reason, Xueqin skillfully predicted Xiangyun's ending in Daiyu's plot.This is not "wrong", but "right".Because such interrelationship is a special technique of Xueqin's original art.

So, besides this, is there any other confirmation in Xueqin's book? some.Please re-read the sentences of Xiangyun and others in the couplets of Lu Xueguang Xuetian.Xiangyun Xiandao is: The wild bank returns to the solitary pole; Baoyu later linked up and said: The reeds are still fishing; Xiangyun later linked up again: The water in the pool floats freely; Poverty with a ladle; It is difficult to cook wine leaves. Before this, Xiangyun had another eye-catching remark; The flower edge is gathered by cold. Please see, whether it is a lonely boat returning to the boat, fishing for reeds alone, or getting together in a cold relationship, all of them all allude to Bao and Xiang.And the water floating in the pool refers to Daiyu's self-sinking.As for burning leaves in poverty, it was what Daiyu said when she laughed at Bao and Xiang for eating venison:

Where can I find this group of Hanako! This is exactly what Bao, Xiang, etc. said in the records later "reduced to beggars"!It's not a miracle that people who make tenons and joints together everywhere are like this? What's particularly interesting is one more point: the word "fisherman", after seeing it in "Feng Yu Xi", also came to Lu Xueguang this time, goodbye to this word—— (Baoyu) put on the jade needle capes, put on the golden rattan hat, boarded the Shatang clogs, and hurriedly came to Luxueguang. ... When all the maids saw him coming in capes and hats, they all laughed and said, "We just said that one fisherman is missing, and now they are all gone!"

You see, here, Xueqin specifically breaks down the "relationship" between Baoyu and the fisherman, how amazing it is--when we don't understand, it's all "casual writing"; exist.Xueqin will always be like this! At the end, I will quote another poem by Xiangling Yongyue to see if I have any new experience? —— It is difficult for the essence to cover up the material, and the shadow is from Juanjuan and the soul is from the cold. A piece of anvil knocks thousands of miles of white, and half a round of chickens sings five more remnants. The flute is heard in the autumn on the Green Mino River, and the red-sleeved building is leaning against the railing at night.

Winning Chang'e should ask: Why not reunite forever? This poem is very strange.The two sentences of the neck couplet must be related to the "chicken sound of Maodian moon" mentioned by Feng Ziying in the twenty-eighth chapter of the wine order, and the sixty-third chapter Daiyu said in the wine order, "Hazelnuts are not an anvil in a closed courtyard, so how can they be smashed by thousands of households?" The sound of clothes".This is related to many of the plots of their subsequent joys and sorrows that we still don't know, which need to be explored step by step.In the two sentences of the abdominal couplet, the first sentence refers to Baoyu has been cleared, and the second sentence refers to Xiangyun—didn’t I just point out that the symbol of the begonia "hanging on the fence" is Xiangyun?

Everything is so densely packed, boundless and misty, and the scenery is miserable and beautiful. It is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people. The wisdom and spirituality are amazing! The reunion of Bao and Xiang on a fishing boat means the end of the book?I don't dare to say for sure yet. "Autumn Window and Wind and Rain" is the forty-fifth chapter of this book, numbered "fifth nine"; "Shouyi Hongqunfang holds a night banquet" is the sixty-third chapter, numbered "seven nine".It's all big. (Xueqin's unique structure method, every nine chapters is a big paragraph, and the whole book has twelve nine chapters, that is, one hundred and eight chapters.) Based on this, there seem to be two possibilities for the reunion of Bao and Xiang: That is, in the ninety-ninth chapter, the number "eleven nine"; or in the one hundred and eighth chapter, the number "twelve nine".But I still dare not say what this is. It is just a kind of speculation on my part for readers to judge.

Speaking of this, this is what I mean by "the other realm of "Red Mansions". In addition to continuing the "tragic ending" mode, a big change is the only way to gradually approach Xueqin's true nature.
