Chapter 37 Notes on Jiaqing Jiazi Version (Part 2)

(17) There are also false approvals due to wrong editions.For example, in the 71st chapter Baoyu heard that Jia Zheng came back and was "happy and sad". This Jiaqing version is very special. When the son heard that his father had returned, he was overjoyed and sad.When the father returns to see the son, there is also a sense of sadness.This should not be the case between flesh and blood.What Mencius said is that there is nothing more ominous about separation, and it can be proved by Jia Zheng and his son. Although it is good to say that the relationship between Jia Zheng and his son is estranged, it is wrong based on the word "sad".This example is relatively simple, and there are even errors in the version and errors in understanding.For example, the fifty-fourth chapter of this book:

Jia's mother ordered Baoyu to say again, "You pour all your sister's and sister's together, don't pour them indiscriminately, and ask him to do it." Baoyu heard that he agreed, and poured them one by one.When he came to Daiyu, he refused to drink. He picked up the cup and put it on Baoyu's lips, and Baoyu drank it up in one go.Daiyu smiled and said, "Thank you." Baoyu poured him a cup.Sister Feng laughed and said, "Baoyu, don't drink cold wine, and carefully tremble your hands. You can't write characters tomorrow, and you can't draw a bow." Baoyu said, "I didn't eat cold wine." I entrust you."

The criticism said: "Sister Feng rejects Daiyu, and this is the end." This is not only the case in the Jiaqing edition, but also in the later published "Jinyuyuan" edition: "Aunt Xue and Baochai once persuaded Baoyu to drink cold wine, but now I use it to drink cold wine. Sister Feng persuaded her to attack Daiyu in groups." This was all influenced by Cheng and Gao's continuation books, which led to the idea that the hairpin and phoenix ganged up to attack Daiyu, needless to say.Others have version problems.They all seemed to think that Baoyu drank Daiyu's remnant and cold wine, but they didn't.

Let me talk about the situation at that time first. Jia's mother was originally called Baoyu, and the sisters poured the wine together, and Baoyu poured them one by one. Of course, they were all hot wine.Could it be that Daiyu is the only one not pouring it?Daiyu asked Baoyu to drink instead of the hot wine he had just poured.Baoyu drank it all in one gulp, and poured another glass for her. In fact, she poured two glasses of wine.Therefore, there should be a word "you" above "Baoyu pours him a cup" and "for him", which means: Baoyu poured another cup for him,

And every time this word is removed in each book [14].The word "you" is missing, so Baoyu is drinking the cold wine that Daiyu has not drunk before (in fact, this glass of cold wine has already been poured away), and this time the new pour is hot wine (in fact, the second glass).Because of the wrong version, it caused misunderstanding; because of misunderstanding, it led to false criticism.As mentioned above, there are still errors in understanding this book, not entirely due to the version. Therefore, Sister Feng below said, Baoyu should not drink cold wine, the intention is very deep.Baoyu replied that it was true that he did not drink cold wine.Sister Feng also said, I know no, but I will pay you in vain.Since you know there is no such thing, why ask for it in vain?The subtlety of the irony and the depth of its connotation are almost not what some critics say, so I can't go into details here.

(18) On the fifty-fifth visit to Tanchunli's house, Ping'er said: "Grandma said, Aunt Zhao's brother is gone, I'm afraid grandma and the girl don't know the old rules. If it goes as usual, it would only be twenty taels. Now I ask the girl to cut it, and I can add more." Tanchun has already wiped away the tears, and said hastily : "Add something nice again." The criticism said: "I'm afraid I don't know the old rules. Grandma and the girl said together; if you add some more to the tailor, please only the girl. Sister Feng's intention is to follow the old rules and not to add more. The so-called 'if you don't follow the rules, it's hard to see your second grandma'. Chun has already expected it. Readers have commented that Tanchun should wait too long for his birth mother, but they don’t know what Tanchun has to do, especially for Aunt Zhao.” I think this is right.

There is another article about Tanchun Lijia.The fifty-sixth general batch: In the past dynasties, if there are ministers who talk about profit, the country's veins will be damaged; if the family is governed by small profits, the vitality will be exhausted.The Grand View Garden is a lucky place for the concubine of Yuan Dynasty. It should be repaired at any time, so I respectfully block it.It is hereby ordered to house the sisters in the same hospital, neither to make the beauties down, nor to make the flowers and willows look bad, but to rely on everyone's success in the garden, and to collect small profits from the Grand View Garden. This is the failure of exploring spring.The author doesn't say a word, and the fifty-nine chapters below feature "An Ying Ying Chi Yan" to see the embarrassment of the weather.Since then, the Grand View Garden has been in a bleak state.

He thought it was a relegation to Tanchun.The fifty-sixth general commentary said that she "has perfect talents in Rongfu, but the author is still dissatisfied with it, so he wrote an article to promote the advantages and eliminate the disadvantages, focusing on Bai Gui's defilement", which is especially obvious.Whether the author agrees or not, there is a lot of room for negotiation. "Grand View Garden has been in decline ever since", it is a fact, but the decline of Jia's mansion has already happened, and it is not too late to blame Tanchun.The fifty-sixth chapter of Kuang's catalog reads "Min Tan Chun Xing benefits and eliminates old disadvantages, Xian Baochai Xiao Huiquan generally" (someone also writes "Knowing Baochai"), which seems to be a compliment, not a reprimand.Although there are examples of cross-examination between the review and this article, there are no derogatory words in this article, which is what he called "not saying a single word".So this is just a reviewer's opinion.The second half of the article starts here, and there are so many right and wrong in the Grand View Garden, but it is true; if it is Tanchun's fault, I am afraid the author may not have such meaning.

(19) In the fifty-sixth chapter "Zhen Jia Baoyu", there are four comments, which is good.The lady of Zhen's family said, "Today my wife brought the girl into the palace to pay her respects," and commented: There are also noble concubines when entering the palace to greet you.This book only writes about Concubine Jia, not Concubine Zhen, true or false, well hidden. He also said, "From our point of view, this brother's temperament is better than ours", criticizing: To say that the dispositions are the same, they say that the dispositions are better; but to say that the dispositions are better is to say that the dispositions are the same.The beauty of using a pen can transform a fairy into a human being.

Baoyu dreamed that the maid of Zhen's family called him a "stinky boy" and said: Just borrow Baoyu's words to scold Baoyu. This is also true, even the words of cursing are Baoyu's own.Another example: The person on the couch hurriedly came down and stopped laughing, so you are Baoyu, this is not a dream.Baoyu said, how is this a dream, it is true and real. Criticism said: "It is clearly a dream, but it is not a dream. However, those who are clearly not dreams in the world are actually dreams. This is why it is named." The two surnames of Zhen and Jia are like flowers in the mirror and the moon in water. What the Jia family has, what the Zhen family must have.The Jia family has noble concubines, and the Zhen family also has noble concubines, this is the reason.There is no one like Concubine Zhen, but Jia Yuanchun's shadow.It writes that Zhen and Jia Baoyu have bodies outside their bodies, just like a beautiful girl leaving her soul.Even the Zhen family scolded Baoyu as if it came out of Baoyu's mouth.This way of writing is very different from Cheng and Gao Xu's writing of Zhen Baoyu.The reviewers may not understand this point, but the four cited above are quite good.

(20) Chapter 62: Baoyu, Pinger, Baoqin and Xiuyan have the same birthday. Xiangyun played Baoqin and Xiuyan said: "You four should pray to each other for one day." Tanchun hurriedly asked: "It turns out that sister Xing is also today. Why did I forget?" There are two comments: The second time I said that Xiuyan was on the same day, Gou Feixiangyun said it, but he ignored it. Forget the word is clearly known.Xiuyan has passed the post from Jia's mansion, is engaged to Xue Biao, and has the same birthday with Baoqin's sister-in-law, so there is no reason why she does not know. The following record Tanchun forgot Daiyu's birthday.Criticism said: But I remember Baochai, not Daiyu, so as to show that today I only know Baoqin, but I don't know Xiuyan.Among the twelve beauties in Tanchun, those who are the most outstanding ones can't help being warm and cold.The author is dissatisfied with Tanchun. The author may not be dissatisfied with Tanchun, but it is true that human feelings are warm and cold. (21) Chapter 62: "Xiangyun said: 'The word Baoyu has no source, but it may be on the Spring Festival couplets, there is no "Poetry" or records, so it doesn't count." Xiangling said:' The day before yesterday, I read Cen Jiazhou's five-character law, and there is a sentence saying that this town is full of precious jade, why did you forget it.'" Criticism said: The author here insists that Xiangyun is drunk, otherwise, "Shang Shu" "distributes precious jade to uncle's country", "Spring and Autumn" "steals precious jade bow", "gets precious jade bow", how to say "Poetry", Ji Zai no. This article says that "Baoyu" has a source in the classics. Although it is good, it is too rigid.Xiangyun is not drunk at this time, and it is not appropriate to say that Xiangyun is already drunk.This is all fiction. Although there are "precious jades" in "Poetry" and records, Xiang Yunleng said that there is no problem.As she said, there may be some on the Spring Festival couplets, but in fact, how can there be precious jade on the Spring Festival couplets.This is not very understandable, but it's just a joke.Just as Xiangling cites Cen Jiazhou's poems to refute her, if she quotes "Spring and Autumn" "Yanghu steals the big bow of precious jade" as critics say, wouldn't it kill the scenery?The novel is expensive and interesting, natural, harmonious and smooth, straight out of the book bag, it is out of the box.If the second half is unbearable, it is for this reason. (22) In Chapter 63, Fang Guan sang "Shangshou" first and was beaten back after singing one sentence, and changed to "Sweeping Flowers in Handan".Criticism said: It's an actor's habit, but it's because of the situation, so he hit it back, writing that there was no rigidity at that time, and he had a sense of elegance. This is known as "sweeping flowers".This time, Qunfang held a banquet, and each of them had a flower name. The song was sung at the first lottery, which meant that everything was swept away. "Shangshou" is a vulgar song for actresses, but it is very auspicious. It is changed to "Sweeping Flowers". The tune is delicate but very bleak.This evening, the official Fang did not hand out a flower name tag. This song should hint at her ending. Critics pointed out that the group of fragrances dissipated, and it was the same. (23) On the 68th, when Sister Feng went to Sister You's place, her attire: There are plain silverware on the head, a moon-white satin jacket on the body, a green satin gown with silver thread, and a white silk skirt. Critic said: "Jia Lian and Jia Jing came from the hall, and they were dressed in hemp. There was no such pure vegetarian ceremony. Besides, a hundred days have passed, so there is no such thing. This is Sister Feng's crime of aggravating Jia Lian's family's filial piety. She deliberately used this to deceive her. Human law." According to Fuzhi, there is really no need for this.Sister Feng seems to be wearing her father-in-law's clothes, why should she do this to Jia Lian's uncle.It seems reasonable to think that the intention to deceive others is to emphasize family filial piety.In fact, the article must be written in this way to be divine.Today, Sister Feng is completely murderous towards Second Sister You, so she must dress like this.Then the following is called: The eyebrows are curved with willow leaves, the two ends are hung high, the eyes are full of red phoenixes, and the eyes are fixed in a triangle. The expression of chilling is vivid on paper.The comments say so, it seems that there is still another layer. (24) There are still some errors that refute and correct the book.For example, Sister Feng said in the twenty-third chapter, "If it is about young monks and Taoist priests", she criticized, "Monks should be nuns, and Taoist priests should be Taoist nuns." No, if it is changed to "little nun and little Taoist nun", it will seem awkward. There are more interesting refutations.For example, Sister Feng said in the twenty-ninth chapter, "Drive out those Taoist priests."Criticism said: "The Taoist priests are all driven out, and whoever will do the safe offering." In the same reply, "The little Taoist priests don't care about picking up candles and scissors";Jia Criticism said: "The wax scissors have been neglected, so why do they have them at this time." Judging from the handwriting, this was approved by another person, and it was probably later [15]. There are also those who have seen it, but have nothing to do with it.For example, in the twenty-eighth time Baoyu had a meal at Mrs. Wang's place, he commented: Why did Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng not wait on Mrs. Wang for dinner this time, and Tan and Xichun were all at Mrs. Wang's place.This is a mystery, and I dare not explain it by force. There are also critics who do not understand Cheng and Gao's continuation books, such as the fifteenth round of criticism: "The following subsections of Shuiyue Temple and Mantou Temple are combined here, which is suspected to be wrong." The original text of Xueqin is unknown. Dividing them into the two is the mistake of Cheng and Gao, which has been seen in "A Study of a Dream of Red Mansions". There are also those who claim that it is not appropriate to say it, such as whether Caiyun and Caixia are one person or two, which is a small but troublesome question.He advocated that colorful clouds are colorful clouds, and there are two things: Here, Caiyun and Caixia are clearly one person, but they are divided into two in the following text, which is suspected to be wrong. (Chapter 25) Caixia is Caiyun, just like the parrot changing its name to Zicuckoo. (Chapter seventy-second) Whether you are right or not, there are two sides to this question.But Caixia has been sent out in Chapter 72, and he said that Caiyun is Caixia.Then, why did Mrs. Wang ask Caiyun to look for ginseng again in Chapter 77?Therefore, in this chapter, it is also criticized: Caiyun suspects a mistake and treats it as a jade bracelet. I don't think that's true.It is trivial to talk about this issue, so let's talk about it when we have an opportunity. There are also attempts to solve the shortcomings of this book, which are inappropriate.For example, Jia Mu's birth in Japan is a strange question.In the sixty-two chapters, Tan Chunming said that after the Lantern Festival, it will be the first month; in the seventy-one chapters, there is a clear text that "the third day of the eighth month is Jiamu's 80th anniversary" (in fact, it is not correct to celebrate the 80th day).Seventy-one rounds of criticism said, "There must be mistakes in this", which is not bad.But ninety-one chapters criticized again: The birthday is uncertain, and the words of deep ridicule, the viewer must not be deceived by him. It's not necessary to say that Jia's mother didn't even have a certain date for her birthday, which was almost a curse. The reviewers praised Cheng and Gao's sequels very much, and no comments after the 81st chapter will be recorded.I mentioned in "A Study of a Dream of Red Mansions" that Qiao's daughter suddenly grows up and down, and here is also a comment on the 92nd chapter: Qiaojie grows up as soon as she gets along, which is the puzzle of this book.
