Chapter 58 The ninth floor and the tenth floor "Red Mansion" Suoyin (4)

"One monk, one way" Suo Yin How could the stone left by Emperor Wa be reincarnated and become Young Master Yihong? All by one monk, he used illusion to turn it into beautiful jade, and brought it back to the "Void Illusion" to register. In the strange case of "returning tears" (the "Crimson Pearl Grass" was originally a reward for watering the waiter Shenying of the Chixia Palace, which has nothing to do with the immovable "gifting" boulder under Qinggeng Peak), Fang got Mixed into the "Rongfu" of the world of mortals.However, in Xueqin's original book, whenever there was a calamity thereafter, this monk and Taoist would often appear as an "illusion" - the so-called illusion is relative to the truth.What is the truth?Wen Yun "extraordinary bones, very different abundance".What is its appearance?There is a poem titled:

The nose is like hanging gallbladder, the eyebrows are long, and the eyes are like stars with precious light.There are no traces of broken straw shoes, and there are sores all over the head. (monk) One foot is high and the other is low, and the whole body is covered with water and mud.If you meet and ask where is your home: but it is in the west of Ruoshui, Penglai. (road) Here, the infinite mystery is hidden.Now let’s try to explain—if there is no explanation, then what is the significance of the author Xueqin setting up these "two immortals" from beginning to end?What is necessary and important at all?Wouldn't it be a long piece of "casual writing" and "superfluous writing"?Xueqin is a great talent, how can she fall into this "cliché"?

These two poems can be found in the twenty-fifth chapter. Because Baoyu, sister-in-law and sister-in-law of Feng were plotted by evil spirits, and their power was dying, they were suddenly rescued by monks and Taoists. case).But the previous article has already written that the Ming monk is a skinny head, and the Taoist is lame.These two characteristics imply infinite mysteries.For a long time, I have been dubbed the "School of Textual Research" by people in the world. In fact, they are not very knowledgeable. It’s just that the previous sages are quite different (the Shanghai version of my book "A Dream of Red Mansions" has a chapter "Xin Suo Yin", and there are actually a lot of hidden things revealed in addition).

According to my humble opinion, the monk is from the Yin "Tong" family, and the Tao is from the Yin "Li" family.What is the reason?These two families are extremely important to the fate of the Cao family and Xueqin, so the origin of the stone and person "Jia Baoyu" lies in them. The history of the Tong family is clear. Tong Shengnian, the son of Tong Yangzhen, a general of the Ming Dynasty, was named "Tulai" in Manchuria, and was written "Tulai" earlier (see the signature on the inscription of "The Great Golden Lama Treasure").Bald Lai, the sound and meaning of the Chinese character is a person who is bald without hair and has skin sores.And the surname "Tong" was written as "Tong" by mistake, which means that Tong is also bald.

Tong Tulai's family is related to the Qing royal family for generations, not to mention his daughter is the concubine of Shunzhi, the biological mother of Emperor Kangxi (later named) Xiaokang Tailao.Xiaokang's second niece is also Kangxi's concubine and palace family member, so the grandson named Longkodo in his prime is actually Kangxi's cousin and brother-in-law - and a princess of Kangxi was married to the son of Longkodo named Shun Anxian's "Fu Ma Ye".Therefore, after Yongzheng conspired to seize the throne, he always called Long "uncle" (this has become an official title, not a personal meaning).

Tong's family and Cao's family were old relatives and old friends when they were outside the customs, and Empress Dowager Tong selected Cao Xi's wife, Sun Shi, as Xiao Kangxi's nanny (nursing mother).From this, the Cao family has a 60-year family history of wealth and prosperity. Besides, the Taoist was limping, unable to walk, and had to use crutches—this is actually borrowing the "shape" of the iron crutch Li in the "Eight Immortals" to hide the "Li" surname.Li is Li Shizhen, Li Xu, Li Ding and their ancestors and grandchildren, and they are close relatives who share the same prosperity and hardship with the Cao family—that is, the "Shihou" Shi Ding's family in Xueqin's book.

Then, what is the hidden meaning of the poem saying "If you meet each other, ask where is your home? But in the west of Ruoshui, Penglai"? It turned out that the Li family was originally from Changyi, Shandong. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing soldiers entered the customs and looted. They went to Changyi, Shandong, and plundered the boy from the Jiang family. Later, Li Xiquan of Zhengbai Banner adopted him as his adopted son, so he changed his surname to Li.The surname Li is the surname of Lao Dan, the ancestor of Taoism, so Li and Tang dynasties especially respected Taoism.

Penglai was originally the name of the "Three God Mountains" in the East China Sea, but there is a connection with the place name Penglai on the coast of Shandong.This is the meaning of the ancestral home in Dongchangyi, Ludong. As for "Weak Shuixi", it is even more wonderful.On the surface, Penglai and Ruoshui, the lands far east and west, are separated by thousands of miles, so the verse is "unreasonable", and it can be called "absurd words" as an explanation.As everyone knows, there are several Ruoshui, one of which is in Liaodong (the old place of the Manchus).

There are five textual researches on weak water: "Book Yu Gong", "Historical Records", "Han Shu" and "Han Shu", all of which have the name of this water, not a river.According to research, four of the five weak waters are located in the western frontier, and Gansu, Qinghai, Xining, and Tiaozhi each have one weak water.Only the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty Dongyi Biography" records that Fuyu has weak waters, and the ancient land of Puyu is located in the border area between today's Jilin and Liaoning, which is the scope of the geographical concept of "Liaodong" in Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Therefore, the lame Taoist was actually a man with the hidden surname Li, who was originally from the east of Lu, and later became a bannerman in Liaodong.And the name "Xiquan" of the "Yizu" of the "Li" family is based on the western character "Ruoshuixi", and it also falls here. Poems that "seem" do not make sense are not absurd lies, but all of them refer to the truth. As for the humble test, the Wang family in the book is actually the Tong family.
