With the major suspect as the breakthrough point, Teacher Liu has uncovered many series of secrets in A Dream of Red Mansions. Some of these secrets are hidden in the original text of the book, and some are only logical speculations, which are complicated and interrelated. This series consists of ***23 lectures, the content is very open, there are many examples of evidence, and it is more detailed. I only take advantage of the opportunity I just heard to sort out the main line of Liu's interpretation as a memorandum. Some premises:
A Dream of Red Mansions is an autobiographical novel based on the background of real life and formed through artistic processing. The events in the book have their implied real historical events or prototype backgrounds, and the characters in the book also have their historical prototypes (or there is a testable correspondence with historical figures in reality, sometimes not one-to-one correspondence).
Zhi Yanzhai is the co-author of Cao Xueqin's writing. They participated in the creation of the whole book and experienced some prototype events together. There are many important revelations in Zhi Yanzhai's comment on writing.
Only the first 80 strokes of Cao Xueqin's original pen are taken as the research object. The original text said that "there is no dynasty to test", while Zhi Yanzhai pointed out that "there are many textual researches". According to textual research, the era background before 18 should be Kangxi and Yongzheng dynasties, while the period from 18 to 80 years is more clear, which occurred in the first, second and third years of Kangxi.
The first 80 chapters have not been finalized into a book, and there are some loopholes and contradictions. The main doubt is also the breakthrough point: Qin Keqing.
He is the most doubtful in the book. The book makes it clear that the wild baby was adopted by Yangshengtang, but ...
Why can you marry Jia Rong of Ningguo House?
Why do you still have your own separate bedroom when you get married? Why is the bedroom furnished so extraordinary?
Why can it be recognized and favored by the two governments in Rong Ning? Even people like Jia Mu and Wang Xifeng are full of praise and biased. Jia Zhen's wife, You Shi, not only doesn't resent her affair with Jia Zhen, but also acquiesces in it.
Why can she become the sister of the police fairy and lead Baoyu to secretly teach sex in his dream?
After her death, why did she hint to Xifeng about Jia's future fate?
…………
These are in great contrast with their origins, which is absolutely impossible in feudal society. After investigation, it is suspected that the original description of Qin Keqing's life was added later, so it is suspected that Qin Keqing may not be a wild baby adopted by Yangshengtang at all, so what is his real origin? Or what kind of background will meet her aristocratic status in the novel. According to the novel description to speculate:
His birth is extremely noble, even higher than Jia's, so it is speculated that he may be of royal descent, such as from a certain court.
On the other hand, Cao Xueqin didn't want to show his identity directly, and added the words of his wild baby background to cover it up, probably for some major political consideration.
To sum up, this lady of royal descent probably hid in Jia's house for the purpose of political asylum, and Jia's family ventured to leave her because of her good relationship with her family. When she grew up, she was nominally Jia Rong's wife. In fact, she was probably a generation older than Jia Rong and had an affair with Jia Zhen, Jia Rong's father. Now, back to the historical facts, this paper investigates the political status of Cao Xueqin's family in Kang Yong during the Three Dynasties, trying to find out the royal family who had close ties with Cao's family and was later killed.
Cao Jiahe Kangxi had an unusual relationship and a good relationship with the Prince. Later, because Kangxi was in power for a long time, the relationship with the prince deteriorated, and the prince was later abolished. Finally, Yongzheng, the fourth son that no one thought of. As soon as he came to power, he began to deal with many forces closely related to his father Kangxi, and the Cao family was suppressed. Back in the book, there is a story about a loyal monarch who was "ruined" and was "aged to be a thousand years old", which reminds people of the "abandoned" prince. (This is a leap-forward assumption, but even in my impression, it is not only the prince who can be called Chitose, but the prince seems to be enough. . . It is debatable. )
This old chitose once ordered a kind of precious wood from Xue Pan's family. Later, because of "bad things", wood has been in Xue Pan's house. Later, Jia Fu held a grand funeral for Qin Keqing, and this kind of wood was used in the coffin. Therefore, it is speculated that Qin Keqing's real identity may be similar to that of Zhongjun's old chitose family, or she is from this old chitose family, that is, the big prince family of Kangxi Dynasty in historical fact. Then, according to the generation correspondence, she is the daughter of the abandoned prince Yin Ren. Perhaps at that time, the prince realized that he was about to be abolished for the second time, so he secretly arranged for his newborn daughter to escape to the Cao family with good relations. Cao Cao also secretly left her as a child bride. If the prince is abolished, then she is a princess. Even later, if Hong Neng, the eldest son of the deposed prince, wins in the power struggle and takes the place of inheriting the throne, she will still be a princess, thanks to Cao Cao. This kind of adventure is equivalent to a political investment for the Cao family. In history, Kangxi did not deal with Hongxi, the son of the prince, because he abolished the prince. Since then, Yongzheng also made him king of the county according to the meaning of Kangxi, and later he was promoted to prince. In the early days of Qianlong, Hongxi, the eldest grandson of Kangxi, became a political force that could compete with the Qianlong emperors of the same generation. He was in the seventh division of the government's internal affairs office, and his unfaithfulness can be imagined. Later, in the spring of the fourth year of Qianlong, the so-called "rebellion case" occurred. As for Qin Keqing's rapid death, there always seem to be many kinds of stories. Some people say that she deserved to die as a slut, while others say that she was devastated by feudal rulers, which is very pitiful.
Teacher Liu's point of view here is that her death can be said to be the inevitable result of her family's final political failure, that is, the so-called "saving the disease, not saving the life" in the original text.
Jia Fu took in a special royal family like Qin Keqing, which directly led to the inevitable decline of Jia Fu. The root of all this lies in Qin Keqing, which is her last judgment in the book. The first 1 1 judgment in the official book (Qin Keqing) Boundless love is an illusion in love. When she meets it, she will be the main prostitute.
If you talk nonsense, you will have honor. It's a good start to trouble.
Teacher Liu's interpretation is not over yet. The book suggests that Qin Keqing hanged himself in Tianxianglou, probably because someone denounced her life story, so she died soon, and the informant was Jia Yuanchun, and then Yuan Chun soon sealed the virtuous princess because of the accusation, and got the favor of Qianlong. The evidence of these things is not so convincing, at least I am skeptical. According to Mr. Liu's interpretation, the prototype of her life was to recruit a woman to enter the palace when she was young. First, she was in the East Palace of the Prince, where she seemed to hear something. Later, she thought of this suspicious woman who suddenly appeared in her house, so she has been observing and guessing her life experience. Later, Yuan Chun came to Li Hong's side through the secondary distribution of the Ministry of the Interior. At this point, she gradually mastered the secret of Qin Keqing (corresponding to Yuan Chun's sentence), so she chose to report the matter to Emperor Qianlong who had just acceded to the throne. Gan Longgang's political intention of boarding the plane is mainly to unite the royal family and heal the hatred and pain between the upper-class forces left by his father. So he also tinkered around the edges and didn't hit Jia. Yuan Chun's whistle-blowing may be to protect their Fu Rong from Ningfu's possession of the royal family, but also to improve their position in the palace, so they won the trust of Qianlong to seal their concubines, and the princess mothering in the early years of Qianlong was also very popular.
But in the end, Jia family began to decline in Qianlong four years. Later, Yuan Chun himself became the scapegoat of this political struggle and died tragically. This point has not been written in the book for 80 times, only suggesting that this political struggle may be a "rebellion case", and his party failed to assassinate the emperor. Ganlong completely solved it and destroyed all relevant information.
The second judgment in the official book (Jia Yuanchun)
For 20 years, Liu Fang has clearly distinguished right from wrong.
Three spring fights for the early spring scenery, and the tiger meets the dream.
Finally, there is an independent interpretation of Miaoyu, so I will save it. . . Although there are many reasonable speculations, a complete system has never been formed, mostly because Cao Xueqin's original work was lost after 80 times. Many people are willing to believe that since Cao Xueqin's creative thinking is so ingenious, these characters will be completely portrayed in the end, and the original intention of the latter part should be a complete tragedy, which is quite different from Gao E's sequel. Unfortunately, the fate of this first wonderful book in ancient and modern times is bumpy, and the lost things can never be found again. Read like this and make a bold guess. A verdict, a trademark name, a drug name, even a word, are all based on the premise that Cao Xueqin can't write at will, and Mr. Liu tries to interpret its deep meaning and connect it with political events in historical facts. Is this too sensitive and worth taking care of? I think this is someone else's point of view, and he can gain something from this interpretation. Even if the above speculation is not established, it is really surprising that the red lines can misinterpret so much content. There is such a wonderful book that the height of Cao Xueqin's literary master makes it insurmountable for future generations.
Not only Liu's explanation, but also people's different opinions on the same content of red are interesting to read. No matter how we study, it is enough for laymen who have nothing to do with literature as long as they can get different fun from each reading. = = 1 Lou, that one is really lazy and doesn't copy at all. I am Zhao Shuo. Give it to me.
