Chapter 56 Jiaxu Version and Zhiyanzhai

Among the Zhiping editions, the Jiaxu edition is more prominent and seems to be earlier.The Jiaxu version got its name because there is such a sentence in the main text of the book: "Zhizhi Yanzhai Jiaxu copied and commented, and it is still used." The existing Hu Shi's collection was not copied in the Jiaxu year of Qianlong, and most of the Zhishen on it were superscripts. There are only two features of this book: morning and night, both are related to Zhiyanzhai.The so-called early refers to the quotation above, Jiaxu was in 1754, which was about five or six years earlier than Jimao and Gengchen. After leaving Zhiyanzhai, he was named after Cao Xueqin, and became a major event in "Hongxue".This is not available in each of the books, that is, my 80-back school book has not been adopted.At that time, I didn't want to include the name of Zhiyan in the "Authentic Biography", which means that the poem says "Zhiyan and Qinxi are difficult to talk about".In fact, it is not necessary, let alone discuss it.

Does Zhiyan's "unique pen" lie in the Jiaxu edition? Although this book is "early", it has the latest batch from Zhizhai. It may be a must-write, which is not available in other Zhiben. This is "late".This comment is very special and very important. It stated the year of Xueqin's death and caused a lot of lawsuits.I have a monograph on "Comments on Xikui Bookstore", so I will only briefly explain it here, or make up for the unfinished meaning of the previous article. Although this batch is unique to the Jiaxu edition, it is extremely chaotic. For example, one line is divided into two and the front and back are reversed. There are many writing errors.He neither contained it nor proofread it.In the early 1960s, the commentary on the Wu Xikui bookstore version of the Qing Dynasty was discovered.The original book has been lost for a long time, and there is only one lonely copy left.What's so strange is that I have seen the other article, so I won't repeat it here, but just quote it to replace the Jiaxu version.

This is the first title poem, and only those who can understand it will cry into this book with tears of bitterness.On Renwu New Year's Eve, the book was not completed, and Qin died of tears.I often cry, and my tears are waiting to be used up.Every time I think about looking for Qinggeng peak, I ask brother Shi again, why don't I meet monk Laitou, I feel disappointed.From now on, I hope that the Creator will produce another fat and one celery. It is a blessing for the book, and the two of them are also very happy in Jiuyuan.In the middle section of Jiashen's eight-yue tear pen, following "every thinking", Qinggeng Peak, Brother Shi, and the monk are involved, which is very unclear; it is not clear whether Brother Shi is Cao Xueqin, it seems to be another person.The relationship between Qin Zhi and this book is mentioned at the beginning and the end, which means that the authors of Jiaxu’s book first mentioned Xueqin and then Zhiyanzhai. Gai Zhiyan always pretends to be one of the authors, and this point is very clear.Looking at the tone of the comments, it is suspected that "Yu Er Er" is not a friend but a family member.This has been said by people today, and I feel quite the same.There are too many involved, so I won't discuss it in detail.

Cao Xueqin is not the author? There is also a commentary in the Jiaxu version, which can also be noted: If Yun Xueqin reads additions and deletions, but so far, who wrote this article?It can be seen that the author's pen is very cunning, and there are many people like this in the following texts.This is exactly where the author uses the painter's mist to obscure the viewer. The viewer must not be deceived (deceived) by the author, and it is a giant eye [49]. It should be approved by Zhiyanzhai.When I wrote the postscript of the Jiaxu edition, I also believed in it, and decided that the author of this book was Cao Xueqin. In fact, there is a lot to discuss.Learning to be a person with great eyes and recognizing heroes may be fooled instead.Since Qin can use the painter's smoke and cloud blur method, can't Zhi not?The purpose of this batch is to refute the main text of "Criticizing additions and deletions" and still return it to Zhuqin, because of his boudoir's heart.smile.

Why did Zhizhai approve it like this?It turns out that Xueqin's copyright was not confirmed at that time, such as Yurui's "Zaochuang Xianbi" and Cheng Gao's "Preface". Note the sentence "Ruoyun" at the beginning of this batch. Said he didn't do it, so Zhi Yan wanted to refute him.But the sixteen-character text is so undeniable, so it is said to be a fuzzy method.In fact, the cloud of smoke is blurred, probably because of Zhi Yan's way of covering his eyes.Whether this is the case can't be determined without looking at the whole book and the various fat batches.It's just chatter here.

The labyrinth of the red building is full of doubts Another point is very special, the name of Zhiyanzhai has never been seen since the world, that is, the Qi Xu edition of the lithographic seal of the Minyuan Youzheng Bookstore, which is obviously Zhiping, but in the original Zhiyan Zhizhai and other signatures, all of them are replaced by other texts. .I quoted this material when I wrote "A Dream of Red Mansions", but I still didn't know that it was Zhiyanzhai.Cheng and Gaobanshu deleted all the comments, and the name of Zhiyan disappeared, and it has had no influence for a hundred years.Since the appearance of Hu Shi's "Baby Book", the situation has changed drastically.My "compilation review" fueled the flames, and the theory of autobiography became popular for a while, and it was hard to stop. "Red Mansions" has now become a prominent study, but it is not Zhi study or Cao study. The more you write, the farther you go from the topic, but the obscurity of this book remains the same.It is said that it was originally a labyrinth, and the comments and curtains are added, just like what the poet said, "How deep is the courtyard, the willows are piled up with smoke, and the curtains have no number."
