Chapter 22 One cent is too long

In the past, there was a saying that a good article cannot be added or subtracted. I don't really believe it. I think it's exaggerated and just talking.Near the school, I often find that adding or subtracting a word is a joke, so I know that the words of the ancients are not deceivers. For example, in Chapter 21 of "The Virtuous Attacking People, Adoring Baoyu", there is a passage in the Gengchen edition of Zhiyanzhai: Xiren sneered and said: "I dare to get angry, but don't enter this house from now on. There are people waiting for you anyway, don't come to help me, I will still serve the old lady."

Just say, "Don't enter this house from now on", who should not enter this house?It seems that a word is missing above.Look at the original Cheng Jiaben.Introduction to Cheng A's text: Xiren sneered and said, "I don't dare to get angry, but you don't enter this house from now on..." The current versions are roughly the same (the original version also has the word "you"). "It's just that you don't come into this house from now on." Although the meaning is relatively clear, the word "you" can be considered carefully.You see, how can Xiren tell Baoyu not to enter his own house?Isn't it driving the monk out of the temple?How about changing to "I"?For example, "It's just that I don't go into this house from now on" doesn't make sense.The attacker was originally in this room, and he could only go out, not to enter; it should be said, "It's just that I don't stay in this room from now on".But the text of this book is not like that.

If the word "you" doesn't make sense, and the word "I" doesn't make sense, what should I do? Just don't use this word, and it will end like this.This sentence has no subject at all.A sentence cannot be completed without a subject. Although this is said in general grammar, it cannot be mechanically used in literature and art. Here not only is there no need for a subject, but there can be no subject. Once there is a subject, it will be blank.The meaning of Xiren's words is indeed aimed at Baoyu.Baoyu's Hei family went to Daiyu's and Xiangyun's house during the day, so the attacker said "don't enter this house from now on", which is both angry and ironic. It should have the word "you".However, in terms of her status at the time, and in terms of the meaning of this book, she could not say "you".Speaking of you, it's not that the attacker resigned, but she drove Baoyu away.Therefore, she made nonsense, not telling anyone not to enter this room, like Baoyu, and like herself.What she said was that she herself was referring to Baoyu, who "waved the five strings with her hand and watched Feihong off", with the wonderful flexibility of separation and reunion.Later generations don't know that the word "you" is added indiscriminately. Although the difference is only one letter, there is a difference between immortals and ordinary people.
