Chapter 36 Notes on Jiaqing Jiazi Edition (Part 1)

I recently got a Jiaqing edition, with one hundred and twenty chapters, on which it says "the original version of the rattan flower pavilion, Yunxiang Pavilion Chongzi", and the inscription "nearly collected by Cheng's family". The signature "Jiazi Summer" should be the book of the ninth year of Jiaqing (1804).There are many comments in this book, and I don't know who wrote them. At the end, "In March of the 14th year of Guangxu, Wang Guyue and Zhu Zhan were recorded under the south window of Xiangguo", which is the name of the transcribed comments.These comments are different from the comments of the Taiping idler, the flower protector, and the Damou mountain people in the later "Golden Jade Fate", and they are probably written by people in the Jiadao period.

These comments are not very good, and he mixed the last forty chapters with the first eighty chapters, but he read the book very carefully and was faithful to it.Now let's talk about some better excerpts from this book. (1) The first chapter: "On this day, when you want to put away what you have depended on in the past, when you want to take advantage of the blessings of heaven, ancestors, brocade clothes and trousers, on the day when you are full of fat, you will owe the kindness of your parents' education, and the virtue of teachers and friends' discipline, so that you can achieve today's skill. I did not commit the crime of half my life, so I compiled an episode to tell the world that I have a lot of sins, but there are people in the boudoir, and they must not protect themselves because of my unworthiness, and make them disappear." Said: (The following quotations are eyebrow comments, and the line comments are noted separately)

Ninety-five characters are read as one sentence, but "Zuo Zhuan" and "Historical Records" have such long sentences. According to the first paragraph of "Red Mansion", it is actually the general batch of the whole book, which seems to be a preface, and there are many long sentences in it.In my opinion, almost one or two hundred characters can be read as a long sentence.This batch is pretty good. Talking to Hui Shitou again, he commented: Shi Yan is contained in "Spring and Autumn", not pretending to be a strange pen. This combination of the above example shows that there is a connection with ancient history.

(2) There is another old question raised by many people in the above, that is, in the second chapter, it is said that Baoyu was born the next year after the birth of Yuanchun, and when the concubine Yuan was visiting relatives, it was said that although sisters and brothers are like mother and son, there is an obvious conflict; so some manuscripts, Printed editions such as Cheng Yi's are often changed.It may not be appropriate to change it.It was difficult, not to mention him.The book critiques: In the next year, there was a mistake in the word, and Miao gave a speech in Leng Zixing's mouth.He was just the son-in-law who accompanied the house, so he hadn't heard of him in detail.

The Jiaqing version is more important than the Cheng Jia version.Here I use Leng Zixing's rumors to lie for the author, and it seems that no one else has said it.Although it may not be, it can also be prepared. (3) In the seventh chapter, Jiao Dazui scolded, this book is specially written, trying to expose the ugliness of the feudal masters.Jiao Da here represents the meaning of the author.There are also two comments: What the author wants to say, he speaks freely through the mouth of a drunk. The four characters "There is a sky and no sun" are extremely crooked, which is the legacy of the poet's loyalty.

(4) When writing about clothes, avoiding authentic Manchurian clothes was against the law at the time, and I had no choice but to avoid them.For example, it is remembered that King Beijing was dressed in Liyuan attire, and Ruan Huzi's attire in the Ming Dynasty has been seen in another article.But there are also some real places in the book, but it is written very vaguely.For example, on the eleventh time, Sister Feng watched a play at Tianxiang Building in Ningfu and commented: Going upstairs to pick up clothes is (flag) clothes Although there are only seven words, it scratches the itch. "Picking up the clothes step by step and going upstairs", this description of the actions of a lady wearing a cheongsam is very vivid.

(5) The fourteenth chapter "Enjoy the strong life of the coffin of Jiamen Qin's Yiren", commented: Ji Jiarong was twenty years old (see the thirteenth chapter) and the Qin family was only around twenty.The three characters of "Xiangqiangshou" are false and false.This is the beauty of the author. He knows how to use virtual pens more, which is also very good.According to "Forty is strong and official", found in "Book of Rites". (6) There is such a paragraph in the fifteenth book: The old nun said: "...the Zhang family is willing to pay filial piety to the whole family." Sister Feng laughed and said, "It's not a big deal, but the wife doesn't care about such things anymore." The old nun said: "The wife doesn't care, grandma can advocate Sister Feng laughed and said, "I don't wait for money to send me, and I don't do such things." After listening to the beating, Jingxu lost her delusions, and sighed for a long time: "Although I said that, it's just that the Zhang family also knew that I came to ask for the house. Regardless of this matter now, the Zhang family doesn't know that they don't have time to take care of it, and they don't care for his gift, as if the house doesn't even have such an idea." After hearing this, Sister Feng got excited and said: " You know me all the time, and you never believe in retribution from hell..."

There doesn't seem to be anything to criticize here.He did well.In the sentence "The Zhang family is willing to pay filial piety to the family", it said: Tight language, do what you like. In the following, the eyebrows are criticized in a nutshell: In fact, the cunning old nun made a fuss about the filial piety sentence, knowing that Sister Feng would not want it, so he made a fuss about it, so he dismissed the words of thanks that he didn't want, and then agitated the sentence of no means, so that Sister Feng's fuss was not for the sake of thanking the gift. Those, but Sister Feng is happy, so she became excited.

Although Sister Feng's "faxing head" is true, the writing is very ethereal.The critic made it clear that she got angry after hearing Zhang Jiaken’s dedication to filial piety, but this is not the case in the book. She pressed it and left it to be inspired by the old nun below. It seems that Sister Feng is very competitive. , not blindly greedy for money, but gave her some ground, using a pen to show a falsehood in the truth, and a subtlety in the sophistication.Very good.Like this commentary, snakes are enough. (7) To be out of the womb, and to use it flexibly, the reviewer also pointed out one point.Chapter Sixteen Daiyu came back from the funeral, and Baoyu saw her.

Baoyu thought in his heart that Daiyu was becoming more and more detached. Sandwich batch cloud: "Hui Zhen Ji", wearing a set of plain clothes, the joint commentary is fine and solid, but I still tell the plain clothes.This is just thinking from Baoyu's heart, using the characters "chaoyi" and "more" to realize that Daiyu's whole body is vivid on the paper. This is often the case with the spirit of the pen in "Red Mansion". It is also a good example to illustrate that reborn is not plagiarized.When the author writes here, I am afraid that he will indeed think of Shuangwen's plain clothes, but just because he thinks of it, he has to avoid it.The word "chaoyi" underlines the god of light makeup and leaves behind his appearance, which is exactly the author's high position, which is not comparable to the secular stupid copywriters.This is a point that should not be overlooked when talking about tradition.

(8) When it comes to the Grand View Garden, there are also good criticisms, but he didn't make full use of it, and his meaning may not be exactly the same as mine.Recently, quite a lot of people have paid attention to the problem of the Grand View Garden, or come to ask me, and I often hand in blank papers.Although there are real gardens as models in the Grand View Garden, they are generally ideal.The so-called "every scene in the sky and on earth" is a very clear ideal.I can't go into details here, let's look at the comments.On the seventeenth round: I saw a jade memorial archway on the front... Seeing this place, Baoyu's heart suddenly moved. When he thought about it, he seemed to have seen it there, but he couldn't remember the events of that year. Criticism said: "It can be seen that the archway in Taixuanyuan is the Daguanyuan Family Visiting Villa." In fact, it is more meaningful to say it the other way around, and Daguanyuan is Taixuanyuan.If this is the case, wouldn't it be crazy for us to verify the location of the Grand View Garden, which is in a certain street in Beijing? (9) I often talk about using virtual pens more.The comments in the fifth section above have said that the Qin family's "enjoying a strong life" is false.On the twenty-eighth occasion when Baoyu, Xue Pan, and others were ordered to drink, Jiang Yuhan used the words "the scent of flowers blows people to know that the day is warm", and Yun'er, a prostitute, told him that this was the name of Baoyu's servant girl.Criticism said: Yun'er knows it, it's amazing.Feiyun'er really knows.Grammar must be so vivid. This is also Mingtong's words, so of course you can just say it in a daze: An sees that Yun'er doesn't know?However, there is no need for Yun'er to know the name of Baoyu's maid, and the article must be awakened at this point; if Xue Pan, Baoyu and others say it, it will feel dull. (10) There are many dialogues in this book that are very sharp, even a little bit sharp.For example, in the thirtieth chapter Baochai said that she was afraid of heat, so Baoyu compared her to Concubine Yang.Baochai sneered twice, then said: I am like Concubine Yang Gui, but there is no good brother or brother who can be like Yang Guozhong. Criticism said: The language is wonderful.Yuanchun is now a noble concubine, and Baochai compares Yang Guozhong to Baoyu. This does not seem to be anything new, and we can also understand that the sentence "Yuanchun is now a noble concubine" is realistic and critical.Baochai really compares Yang Guozhong to Baoyu, which is what the author means.No matter Yang Fei is compared to Baochai, Feiyan is compared to Daiyu (Chapter 27), even Yang Guozhong is compared to Baoyu, and the Yan family in "A Handful of Snow" is also completely degraded to Jia's (Chapter 27). Eighteenth round).Regarding the denial of Jia's mansion, Jia Baoyu, the head of the twelve beauties, Dai and Dai, and the army of the twelve beauties, Keqing, I think it is necessary to reconsider the current autobiographical legend. (11) According to legend, every time Cao is regarded as Yuanwailang, Jia Zheng is also Yuanwailang, and he is quoted as criticizing "the true story of his wife", proving that Jia Zheng is Cao, and Jia Baoyu is Cao Xueqin.This is relatively powerful.But as far as this book is concerned, there is no real praise for Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang.For example, in the thirty-seventh chapter of Jia Zheng's "duanfangqingsu" and other words were also added by later generations. The author of "Red Mansion" doesn't seem to like Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang very much.Or does Xueqin have bad feelings for his father and mother, or is it not the case at all?This problem is not easy to solve for the time being. The critics of the book didn't like Jia and Wang either, so whether they got the author's opinion is another matter.Regarding Jia Zheng's, I would like to quote two: Mrs. Wang protects Baoyu, and every time she puts the Taijun in front of the battle, she uses these words at this time, but she doesn't know that Mrs. Zheng mentioned that the old lady simply wanted a rope to strangle Baoyu to death.Those who are unfilial and unkind in the world, but attach themselves to Mr. Daoists, can learn from it. (Chapter Thirty-third) This article is like this: Mrs. Wang cried, although Baoyu should be beaten, the master should take care.Besides, the old lady is not very well in hot weather, killing Baoyu is a small matter, but if the old lady feels uncomfortable for a while, it is not a big deal.Jia Zheng sneered and said, "Don't mention this. I have raised this unworthy bastard, and I am no longer filial. I have taught him a lesson in the past, and there are many people who support him (criticism, "Obviously referring to the old lady"). Why not take advantage of today It ended up his dog's life, so as to avoid future troubles." As he spoke, he wanted to strangle him to death with a rope. Later, Mrs. Wang said that "husband and wife should be separated", and Jia Zhengfang sat down on the chair with a long sigh, and tears fell like rain.Criticism said: But it depends on whether the old lady is divided into Shangrao Baoyu, or whether the husband and wife are divided into Shangrao Baoyu, what kind of person is Jia Zhengguo. Explain that Jia Zheng (false positive) is a false Taoism in feudal society, which is very clear.There are many other words of dissatisfaction with Jia Zheng, so I will not quote them in detail. Regarding Mrs. Wang, I also quote two.In the thirtieth chapter, Mrs. Wang was called "a lenient and kind person", and her eyebrows criticized: "Fu it with four characters." Mrs. Wang can't teach her son, but she vents her anger on her maidservant.At that time, Jin Chuan knelt down and begged for the words "seeing people but not seeing others", expressly saying that he would die; what's more, what Jin Chuan said at that time was not a serious mistake, so he had the heart to drive him away.The author puts down the four characters of lenient, benevolent and thick, which are praised almost to the ears of ridicule (doubt is almost a mistake in the word). He explained that "lenient, kind and generous" is an irony. Although it is a bit tortuous, I think it is fair to rule the king's wife and Jin Chuan's prison.We can never say that the author is not on the side of Jin Chuan and Qingwen, but on the side of Mrs. Wang.This is not only emotional, but also ideological. (12) The thirty-second chapter "Vues the Lives and Treasures of Hearts and Hearts", the final batch of chapters: The words from the bottom of my heart Baoyu has to sue so far, but she must not sue her all, otherwise Daiyu will be overturned, repeating the previous two offenses;The author has thought hard and calculated the three words "you don't worry" here, and he has never left a trace.Daiyu was not too abrupt and pretended not to understand.Then I figured out the words "It's all because I don't feel at ease", and the words from the bottom of my heart are still not traced.Daiyu accepted it with the words "know".Baoyu still kept half of what he said from the bottom of his heart, but he told the attackers, which is amazing and inconceivable. That's a good point.There is an eyebrow comment that the meaning is repeated, so it will not be recorded. (13) Chapter 41 wrote that Grandma Liu didn't know starlings, and called it "the black old raven grows a crested head". When the Yuguan was in Wuchuan, my colleague Yao Jun kept the starlings. Under the hanging corridor, there were porters who referred to them as old ravens for several generations. Then I knew that no one in the northern villages knew the starlings, and then I knew that the words in "Red Mansion" are all true feelings and truths. There is no lying and making fun of it. Every virtual and real interoperability, the virtual will be extremely empty, and the real will be extremely real.This comment also speaks for itself. The critics are probably from the South, and it can be seen from the incomprehension of the North dialect in some places, such as Mrs. Xing said to Sister Feng in the forty-sixth chapter: "There is a reason to ask you to go, of course I said to go." This is not wrong, " There are also" so is the irony.The critic was puzzled, but said: "It is also suspected to be that word", which shows that his understanding of Beiyu is not as good as mine.But there are also two things about Beijing's terroir. In the fifty-first chapter, "That is the stator of Wuliang", the criticism said: Songjiang silver is commonly used in the capital, five taels per ingot, very fine. The sixty-eighth chapter, "Order them to kill animals and prepare food", commented: In Jingqiang, chickens are called livestock. Although the speech is good, the usage of the word "Jingqiang" is quite strange, and the critic is undoubtedly a southerner. (14) Chapter 43 "Picking earth for incense if you can't feel love", Baiming made a speech on behalf of Baoyu, and commented: "Baicing is a thief, early to see Baoyu's thoughts, and the matchmaker in "Huizhenji" Zhuying on behalf of Yingying The same brush and ink." This is another imitation of "The West Chamber".The matchmaker wishes on behalf of you, see the third chapter of "The West Chamber", "Remuneration Rhyme". (15) There are also very detailed comments.For example, after Xue Pan was beaten in Chapter 47, this article writes: Suddenly, beside the reed pit, Xue Pan's horse was tied there.Everyone said: "Okay, where there is a horse, there must be someone." They all came to the horse, only to hear someone groaning in the reed, and everyone came to have a look. Criticism: "When a person finds something among the reeds, first he hears someone moaning in the reed. It is wonderful. When a person is in the wilderness, how can he hear the moaning among the reeds? First, he sees Xue Pan's horse there. It is especially wonderful. Wen Xin There is no sloppiness in the details." (16) There are also things that seem to be said, but are still concealed by the author.For example, in Chapter 51, when Hu Junrong treated Qingwen, he saw a section of her nail and commented: This is Hu Junrong, who looked at the second sister You, so that he turned his head when he saw the nails, and if he saw the whole picture, his soul would fly away. Doctor Hu's obsession is true, and the approval is good.But for the death of Second Sister You, Hu Yishi was bribed by Sister Feng, not because he saw Quanquan, lost his soul, and took the wrong medicine.The author deliberately "Hu Yongyi used tiger wolf medicine indiscriminately" in this chapter, ambush one, as if a quack doctor should do so.It is not strange to be confused by the color, but it is not the same thing at all.That's why I say that here again the critics have been deceived by the author.
