Chapter 11 Jia Zheng

According to recent research, Baoyu is Xueqin's own residence. It can be inferred that Xueqin's father, Cao, should be Jia Zheng in the book, as Hu Shi said many times. (See "Research on the Dream of Red Mansions" and "New Materials on the Research on the Dream of Red Mansions") He also quoted the Jiaxu Zhiben, and in the second chapter "Given this old political father a title of principal...promoted Yuanwailang" There is also Zhu Zhu : Tomorrow is a real thing, not a false embrace. (This "yong" is a mistake in the word "similar") He considered irrefutable evidence.I think this way of thinking, the lineage of the Jia family is equal to the family tree of the Cao family, which is too rigid.Looking at it from another perspective, China has no complaints or good feelings towards Jia Zheng.If Jia Zheng is the actual father of Cao Xueqin, it seems that this should not be written.

(1) Jia Zheng and Baoyu are hostile.Every time Baoyu went to Jia Zheng's place, the whole family was frightened for him, and they didn't rest assured until he came back safely. This book is often seen.The outstanding style of play like thirty-three times seems to be fatal.In any case, it cannot be said that the author has a good impression of Jia Zheng. (2) From the point of naming him, he is belittling.In the book, it is not surprising that everyone in the Jia family is named Jia Yuan, but his surname is Jia Mingzheng.Just imagine what is not safe under the word Jia, but the word Zheng.Jia Zhengzhe, fake and upright, means fake and upright.Such an image is being described in the book.

(3) Readers may ask, Jia Zheng's naming may be a coincidence, why bother with homonyms. The author of "Red Mansion" seems to have thought of this too, so he used the method of clouding the moon to move out all the people around Jia Zheng. Their names are listed in the eighth chapter, and they are listed below. This review of Jiaxuzhi. Zhan Guang, the minister of Qing Dynasty under the door. (Wonderful, meaning covered with light) Single hire. (Even better, Gai is good at deceiving people) Wu Xindeng, the chief in charge of the warehouse. (no stars) Dai Liang, the leader of Cangshang. (large amount)

Comprador Qian Hua. (Also means money blossoms) This is very clear.Homophones are common in vernacular novels, but people’s names are not often used in this way (it’s not uncommon). Only Jia Zheng’s close friends and people in charge of finance have written in this way in a series. Isn’t it meaningful?What's more, Zhan Guang's name is Zhanguang, but we can't see his Zhanguang behavior in the book; Shan Pinren, we can't see his deceitful tricks; They are different, so why bother to add such a bad name to them?There is no other explanation for this, it is nothing more than highlighting Jia Zhengzhi's hypocrisy.

(4) Of course, the evil of Jia Zheng is not expressed solely by this homophonic method, and there should be some specific descriptions.There are not many positive words, and if there are too many, it will lose the effect of sarcasm, and still write about the people around him.Among the characters, there is one who everyone hates and everyone shakes their heads, that is Aunt Zhao, and this "political elder" loves Aunt Zhao the most, it can be said that her taste is beyond sour and salty.In the book, there is a part of Aunt Zhou, who is faintly visible, seemingly invisible, like a wart, which is also designed to set off Aunt Zhao, and Aunt Zhao's favor is designed to set off Jia Zheng's personality.Say "check what's safe".If Jia Zheng's situation is like this, Jia Zheng can also know it.

(5) In the seventy-sixth round, drums were played back to pass the flowers, and the flowers were in the hands of Jia Zheng, but the author joked with him and told him to tell a joke, so he had to tell a story about being afraid of his wife.Henpecking is also easy to describe, but he said that the man licked his wife's feet, making him feel sick, and he described it very badly.This also fully shows Jia Zheng's vulgar taste. (6) Every time Baoyu wrote a poem, Jia Zheng always refused to praise it, and even "stopped drinking", as if he must have studied poetry very well.However, when Jia Zheng repeatedly said that Baoyu's work was not good, he didn't write a word about it.The second chapter said that Jia Zheng "loves reading very much", but looking through the whole book, Jia Zheng didn't have a single article or poem.

Judging from the above six points, Jia Zheng is indeed the case.Whether Cao Xueqin wrote his father's image should be like this is another question.Anyway, there is no praise for Jia Zheng, no matter how many steps back, there is more derogation than praise.Furthermore, the author does not have a good impression of Jia Zheng's spouse, Mrs. Wang.For example, in the seventy-seventh chapter of her fierce fight with Qingwen, after a hundred generations or less than a thousand years, should she sympathize with Mrs. Wang or Qingwen?I think, I don't need to talk too much. Our feelings are also the author's feelings.The author, he wants us to adopt such an attitude and view towards the person in the "dream".It's a pity that Cheng Weiyuan and Gao E didn't understand the meaning of this, so they praised Jia Zheng repeatedly in the last forty chapters of the book, and finally asked Baoyu to kowtow to him before going.Even in the first eighty chapters, words and phrases were added indiscriminately. For example, at the beginning of the thirty-seventh chapter, Jia Zheng was dismissed from school. "Princess Duan Fang Fang Qing Qing" and so on, can be described as nonsense.

Cheng and Gao Gu liked Jia Zheng, but this view did not originate from them.Before Cheng Ke, Jiachen added the above remarks to Jia Zheng in the second chapter, saying that he "be upright and upright" (there is no such thing as a book), which shows that this saying has a long history, and it has not been a day up.
