The book A Dream of Red Mansions clearly states that the story takes place at an "end time". Xifeng is "a hundred birds in the last days" and Tanchun is "a life in the last days". When Leng Zixing gave a speech at Guo Rong Palace, he also made it clear that Jia Fu was in the last days.
Is this so-called eschatology the end of family or society? Some people say that it refers to the last day of a century-old family in Rongning Building, which is inaccurate and incomplete. The Jia family in the book is indeed an eschatological scene, but the eschatology mentioned in the book refers not only to a family, but to the whole society; Or the end of the family and the end of society are the same situation, and the decline of society directly determines the decline of the family.
In feudal society, the so-called eschatology is actually a period of decline of a feudal dynasty, or a period of great social turmoil of changing dynasties. To prove this point, the best evidence is the book "Good Songs" and "Good Songs". Friends might as well read it again carefully: the nobleman with "a box of gold and a box of silver" suddenly became a beggar vilified by everyone; A "well-trained" dude, who would have thought that becoming an outlaw would be a "strong beam"; Miss Qian Jin, who "chooses cream beam", hopes to "live in Yanhua Lane"; "I am lamenting that his life is not long, but I don't know that I have come back to mourn"; "Yesterday, white bones were buried in Huangtuling, and tonight, red scorpions lie at the bottom of the account", and so on. These scenes of sudden loss of wealth and inequality between the rich and the poor will only be concentrated when the regime changes. Isn't this upside-down scene a typical history of the demise of the feudal dynasty?
"A Dream of Red Mansions ―― Good Things End" is typical: "Being an official, the family business will wither; Wealth, gold and silver; If you are kind, you will survive; Ruthless, retribution is clear. If you owe your life, it has already been paid. If you owe tears, your tears will be exhausted. " The period of regime change is a period of social accounting, and this song "Good Things End" describes a vivid social accounting scene! "It's like eating a bird and throwing it into the forest. It's so clean to land on a piece of white land! " If it is just a family and a place is broken, it is not called "the vast expanse of whiteness". Only when a dynasty is completely destroyed, will there be a "clean" situation in which hundreds of birds are Qi Fei and the white sky is empty.
The question is, which eschatological background does A Dream of Red Mansions refer to? Actually, this is not a problem at all. A Dream of Red Mansions has nothing to do with the Qin, Han, Tang and Song Dynasties, but only with the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There were only two end times in Ming and Qing Dynasties: one was the end of Qing Dynasty and the other was the end of Ming Dynasty. Either one or the other, the two must live in one or the other. The last day of the Qing Dynasty was the abdication of Xuan Tong and the establishment of the Republic of China. The birth of A Dream of Red Mansions is 200 years earlier than this last time, so the last time in A Dream of Red Mansions cannot refer to the last time of Qing Dynasty. Well, there is only one possibility. The social background of a dream of red mansions is the late Ming Dynasty!
The book "Dream of Red Mansions" explains that in the last days of this society, it is in an era of "a hundred-legged worm, dying but not stiff". What era does this specifically refer to? As we all know, after Li Zicheng entered Beijing and the Ming Dynasty was overthrown, there was indeed a period of "death without rigidity", that is, "a small court in Nanming". This small imperial court, under the banner of orthodoxy in Ming Dynasty, has experienced the regimes of Axe King, Ghost King, Tang King and Wang Lu, and "one country in san huang" lasted for twenty years. It is this right and wrong that is mentioned in the book A Dream of Red Mansions that "arguing right and wrong for twenty years". After the demise of the small court in Nanming Dynasty, intellectuals in the south of the Yangtze River had a heated debate on right and wrong. A large number of scholars such as Wang Fuzhi, Gu, Huang Zongxi and Kong have written many political articles or literary works around this theme.
The book "Dream of Red Mansions" has repeatedly explained: "It seems to have been cooked for hundreds of years" and "Building an arbor a thousand miles away-there is no banquet that never ends". In fact, in Nanming, people have already foreseen the short-lived result of the small court. In the end, "Fusang fell like a building, but also like a lamp went out", which is a true portrayal of the collapse scene of the small court in Nanming!
Question 2: Which dynasty is the story of A Dream of Red Mansions? The author wrote in his mind the early years of the Qing Dynasty, but because of the prevalence of literary inquisition at that time, he had to blur the dynasty. Judging from Xue Pan's introduction, he said that he was originally from Nanjing and lived in Xijing. Xijing was the capital at that time, and the historical Xijing was Chang 'an, which should refer to the Tang Dynasty. But in terms of clothing, it should be the Ming Dynasty. Judging from the memorial Jia Zheng finally received, it should be the Qing Dynasty when it comes to smuggling foreign guns and matches. In addition, Jia Mu wears glasses many times in the works, which should have been introduced from the west in the Qing Dynasty. In short, Cao Xueqin tried to blur the dynasty because he avoided the literary inquisition at that time!
The allusion to the Qing dynasty, not the Qing dynasty, is to avoid current politics. In terms of customs, costumes, etc., the kneading of various dynasties was adopted. He can cross time and space, cross regions and break rules. For example, if you write that Beijing, bamboo forest and Kang are in one place, bamboo belongs to the south and Kang belongs to the north, then he can be in one place. You can't be serious because when Cao Xueqin wrote a book, the whole article didn't mention a word about Beijing. Never understand Beijing as Beijing. He didn't mention "Beijing" when he mentioned "North and South", and he didn't mention "North and South" when he mentioned "Beijing". For example, Daiyu went back to the south, not to Nanjing.
Which dynasty is not? He can only allude to the current dynasty (Qing Dynasty) and dare not write clearly. You just need to read this story. Some of these books are from the Qing Dynasty and some are from the Ming Dynasty. If you dig carefully, it is inconsistent and contradictory. Like about the location. There are many things in the south, and scenery (Jiangning) and health are all things in the north. Don't dwell on these details.
Is the background of a Dream of Red Mansions really the Qianlong period?
Tumoge was released on the afternoon of August 28th, 2006 12:48.
Recently, I read an article on the Internet signed by Chen Chuankun, On the Background of the Red Mansion in the Qianlong Period. How the article was studied and analyzed has its own readers' views, and I don't intend to comment. However, Mr Aoki, whose net name is Aoki, is said to be "deeply suspicious" after reading the author's Ten Lectures on the History of the Red Chamber, so he reprinted Mr. Chen's article online without authorization from Mr. Chen Chuankun. The purpose of reprinting this article should be to use Mr. Chen as a good medicine to solve the "doubts" in his heart, and use this as a brick to smash the author's two books, The History of the Red Chamber. Because Mr. Aoki linked the author's two books with Mr. Chen's article, the author could not play dumb, so he had to say a few words.
In Mr. Chen Chuankun's article, * * * is divided into five topics, in fact, seven questions are said to demonstrate the background of the novel A Dream of Red Mansions. The first question is about the textual research on the appearance time of "Nursery", the second question is about the six southern tours of Emperor Kangxi Qianlong, the third question is about the time analysis of Yuan Fei's use of "Crank and Seven Phoenix Golden Umbrella" among his relatives in the province, the fourth question is about the appearance time of "New Year's greetings", the fifth question is about the appearance time of imperial examinations, and the sixth question is about "poetry trial". To tell the truth, Mr. Chen's article style is a bit confusing, but it boils down to the above seven questions, and it is generally good.
Among these seven questions, there are four questions. Whether Mr. Chen Chuankun's textual research is correct can't prove that the background of A Dream of Red Mansions in Qianlong period is not in contradiction with the background of A Dream of Red Mansions in Shunzhi and Kangxi periods. The author has made textual research in two books: the first question started from the nursery in Shunzhi period, the second question Kangxi also made six southern tours, and the sixth question "Chen's textual research and analysis can not only deny A Dream of Red Mansions."
The third question, Mr. Chen Chuankun did not find the use time of "Crank Seven Phoenix Golden Umbrella" in Yuan Fei's Mothering. Mr. Liu has already said this question in Revealing a Dream of Red Mansions. The "seven-phoenix golden umbrella with crank" appeared in Qianlong period is generally good, but it is very problematic to say that the royal "umbrella cover" was originally a "straight handle" and changed to a "crank" in Qianlong period. China's "crank umbrella cover" can be said to have existed since ancient times. The third group of murals on the west side of the north wall of Cave 323 in Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes clearly depicts the "crank umbrella cover". The 4th Nanzhao of Shi Baoshan Grottoes in Dali, Yunnan, visited luo feng, Wang Ge, and there was a "crank umbrella cover" given to Ge Luofeng by the Tubo King behind the dragon and phoenix throne. The eighteenth biography of Xiang Xiong in the Book of Jin records that he was promoted to secretariat ... >>
Question 3: A Dream of Red Mansions describes the story of which dynasty. In A Dream of Red Mansions, the time and place of the story are deliberately concealed.
It is said that A Dream of Red Mansions is the memoir of Cao Xueqin. According to the date of Cao Xueqin's birth and death, we can roughly know the era of A Dream of Red Mansions. According to textual research, Cao Xueqin was born in 17 14 (fifty-three years of Kangxi), and Baoyu appeared in A Dream of Red Mansions when Daiyu entered Jiafu. Daiyu is about six years old and Baoyu is about seven or eight years old. I remember about 1720 (59th year of Kangxi), and in 6th year of Yongzheng (65438), the Cao family was robbed. Shortly after the Jia family was robbed, Baoyu left home. End of story. Therefore, the story of a Dream of Red Mansions took place in the fifty-ninth year of Kangxi (1720) to the ninth year of Yongzheng (173 1), mainly to write stories that happened in those ten years. As the Cao family has been in Nanjing for ten years, it is certain that the story of A Dream of Red Mansions took place in Nanjing.
Question 4: Which dynasty is the story of A Dream of Red Mansions? It's the Ming Dynasty! The book A Dream of Red Mansions clearly states that the story takes place at an "end time". Xifeng is "a hundred birds in the last days" and Tanchun is "a life in the last days". When Leng Zixing gave a speech at Guo Rong Palace, he also made it clear that Jia Fu was in the last days. Is this so-called eschatology the end of family or society? Some people say that it refers to the last day of a century-old family in Rongning Building, which is inaccurate and incomplete. The Jia family in the book is indeed an eschatological scene, but the eschatology mentioned in the book refers not only to a family, but to the whole society; Or the end of the family and the end of society are the same situation, and the decline of society directly determines the decline of the family. In feudal society, the so-called eschatology is actually a period of decline of a feudal dynasty, or a period of great social turmoil of changing dynasties. To prove this point, the best evidence is the book "Good Songs" and "Good Songs". Friends might as well read it again carefully: the nobleman with "a box of gold and a box of silver" suddenly became a beggar vilified by everyone; A "well-trained" dude, who would have thought that becoming an outlaw would be a "strong beam"; Miss Qian Jin, who "chooses cream beam", hopes to "live in Yanhua Lane"; "I am lamenting that his life is not long, but I don't know that I have come back to mourn"; "Yesterday, white bones were buried in Huangtuling, and tonight, red scorpions lie at the bottom of the account", and so on. These scenes of sudden loss of wealth and inequality between the rich and the poor will only be concentrated when the regime changes. Isn't this upside-down scene a typical history of the demise of the feudal dynasty? "A Dream of Red Mansions" is typical: "Being an official, the family business will wither; Wealth, gold and silver; If you are kind, you will survive; Ruthless, retribution is clear. If you owe your life, it has already been paid. If you owe tears, your tears will be exhausted. " The period of regime change is a period of social accounting, and this song "Good Things End" describes a vivid social accounting scene! "It's like eating a bird and throwing it into the forest. It's so clean to land on a piece of white land! " If it is just a family and a place is broken, it is not called "the vast expanse of whiteness". Only when a dynasty is completely destroyed will there be a "clean" situation. The question is, which is the background of a dream of red mansions? Actually, this is not a problem at all. A Dream of Red Mansions has nothing to do with the Qin, Han, Tang and Song Dynasties, but only with the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There were only two end times in Ming and Qing Dynasties: one was the end of Qing Dynasty and the other was the end of Ming Dynasty. Either one or the other, the two must live in one or the other. The last day of the Qing Dynasty was the abdication of Xuan Tong and the establishment of the Republic of China. The birth of A Dream of Red Mansions is 200 years earlier than this last time, so the last time in A Dream of Red Mansions cannot refer to the last time of Qing Dynasty. Well, there is only one possibility. The social background of a dream of red mansions is the late Ming Dynasty! The book "Dream of Red Mansions" explains that in the last days of this society, it is in an era of "a hundred-legged worm, dying but not stiff". What era does this specifically refer to? As we all know, after Li Zicheng entered Beijing and the Ming Dynasty was overthrown, there was indeed a period of "death without rigidity", that is, "a small court in Nanming". This small imperial court, under the banner of orthodoxy in Ming Dynasty, has experienced the regimes of Axe King, Ghost King, Tang King and Wang Lu, and "one country in san huang" lasted for twenty years. It is this right and wrong that is mentioned in the book A Dream of Red Mansions that "arguing right and wrong for twenty years". After the demise of the small court in Nanming Dynasty, intellectuals in the south of the Yangtze River had a heated debate on right and wrong. A large number of scholars such as Wang Fuzhi, Gu, Huang Zongxi and Kong have written many political articles or literary works around this theme. The book "Dream of Red Mansions" has repeatedly explained: "It seems that it has been cooked for hundreds of years" and "There is no banquet that never ends". In fact, during the Nanming period, people had already foreseen the short-lived result of the small court. In the end, "Fusang fell like a building, but also like a lamp went out", which is a true portrayal of the collapse scene of the small court in Nanming!
Question 5: What dynasty is the story background of A Dream of Red Mansions? Anyone who has read A Dream of Red Mansions may have such a question: Which dynasty was this book written? I think it's the Ming Dynasty in general. The reason for this is the following：
In the sixteenth chapter of this book, only the Fengzao Palace was chosen, and Qin Jingqing died in Huangquan Road. There was a passage: "Xifeng laughed:' If so, I can see the world. I hate being a few years younger. If I had been born twenty or thirty years earlier, these old people would not be thin and have never seen the world now. Speaking of the story of Emperor Mao's imitation of Shunguan, it is more lively than a book, but I missed it. At that time, I remembered that our Jia family supervised the construction and repair of seawalls in Yangzhou, Suzhou, and only prepared to take a ride and spent all their money in the sea! Speaking of which, the word "Emperor Mao" appeared in this passage. "Taizu" is the temple name of the founding emperors in some ancient dynasties, while the temple name of the founding emperor is only "Taizu" in Song, Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. In these dynasties, Liao, Jin, Yuan and Qing can be ruled out first, because the "Mao" of these dynasties did not enter the Central Plains when they were in power, let alone "Suzhou Yangzhou area". Song is left, but in Chapter 56, "When Chun promotes advantages and eliminates disadvantages, Baochai is considerate", Baochai talks about "Zhu" (see Cyet/encyclopedia/L .../200221056 for details). Zhu was a native of the Southern Song Dynasty and the founding emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty. Zhao DOG, who was still alive at that time, saw "Mao Imitating Shun Tour" when he just remembered it, so it can't be the Song Dynasty. From this perspective, this book is mainly about the Ming Dynasty.
However, there are many traces of other dynasties in the book, such as Chang 'an as the capital, Daming Palace as the imperial court, Fu as the official position, Xiangling as the pomegranate skirt, Mammy as the title of the old domestic servant, etc., which are also included in the history of Han, Wei, Tang, Song and Qing dynasties. Therefore, at the beginning of this book, it is emphasized that "there is no dynasty to test".
Question 6: Which dynasty is A Dream of Red Mansions about? A "under the guise of Han and Tang Dynasties" is not true.
In the first episode of A Dream of Red Mansions, there is a dialogue between an empty Taoist priest and a stone. During the dialogue, the Taoist raised the question that "there is no dynasty to test in the Stone Story". Si Tong's answer to this is-
If there is no dynasty and year to test, why is it difficult for our teacher to supplement it under the pretext of Han and Tang Dynasties?
In fact, looking at the whole Dream of Red Mansions, "using the Han and Tang Dynasties as a pretext" simply doesn't work: there are many ancient names in the book, many of which, such as (the third time), (the fourth time), Su Shi (the fourth time/kloc-0) and Zhu (the fifty-sixth time), are all after the Tang Dynasty, not to mention after the Han Dynasty; Furthermore, there are a series of literary and artistic works such as Ouyang Xiu's Preface to the Drunk Pavilion (No.17), The Journey to the West (No.22) and The West Chamber (No.27), all of which were born after the Han and Tang Dynasties. In addition, daily necessities such as abacus (the 22nd turn), glasses (the 53rd turn) and firecrackers (the 54th turn) were also absent in the Han and Tang Dynasties.
In addition, a dream of red mansions for the first time and this narrative:
At that time, the land was in the southeast. In this southeast corner, there was a place called "Gusu", and the city called Nagato was the most prosperous and romantic place in the world of mortals.
During the Han Dynasty, the politics and economy of the south were far less than that of the Central Plains, and Suzhou could not become a "first-class, second-class and prosperous place". In the Tang Dynasty, "Yang (Zhou) benefited from (Zhou) II", and then the capital and international metropolis Chang 'an, Suzhou naturally had nothing to do with "first and second class". It was after the Ming Dynasty that Suzhou "showed its talents".
Second, it seems clear, but it is not clear.
Since Han and Tang Dynasties are not the historical background of A Dream of Red Mansions, what is it? In fact, in the eyes of many readers, the people in A Dream of Red Mansions lived in either the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty. Admittedly, this view is reflected in some places in this book, one or two of which are as follows:
We will bring a letter ticket tomorrow. We will pay 30,000 yuan in advance, and the remaining 20,000 yuan will be reserved for arranging candles, lanterns and curtains of various colors. (the first time 16)
You Shi said, "You are the first scholar in flower exploration, the first scholar in ancient and modern times. We are stupid people. Why don't you understand? (Back to 74)
The so-called "club ticket" is the name of the bill of exchange in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which was not found in other dynasties. For example, it was called "flying money" in the Tang Dynasty. "Champion", "Champion" and "Champion" are the names of the first, second and third place in the imperial examination in Ming Dynasty respectively, and they do not belong to other dynasties.
In addition, there are Garrison (for officials in charge of guarding the castle or spending, see Hui 15), Tang Guan (for officials in charge, see Hui 13), stereotyped writing (Hui 8 1), The Journey to the West (Hui 22) and Peony Pavilion.
First of all, the Ming Dynasty was obviously impossible. Because, like the Han and Tang Dynasties, there are new things in the book that never existed in the Ming Dynasty, such as Lu's Drunken Wutai Mountain (the twenty-second chapter) and Full Bed of Fluorene (the twenty-ninth chapter), all of which are works in the early Qing Dynasty.
Secondly, the characters in A Dream of Red Mansions did not live in the Qing Dynasty. Men in the Qing Dynasty had to shave their heads, while men in A Dream of Red Mansions, such as Jia Baoyu, said, "The short hair around the hair was braided. HongLing ended, and the hair grew to the top. The editor-in-chief big braid was as black as paint." Judging from the illustrations and opera characters in A Dream of Red Mansions, it is not Qing Dynasty at all. In addition, in the fourth chapter, it is said that the emperor has mercy. "The daughters of famous officials are relatives of the Ministry of Education to prepare for the admission of princesses and princesses and praise talents." Among them, "gifted scholar" is the official name of women in the palace, which was set in Wei and Jin Dynasties, and there was no gifted scholar position in the Qing Dynasty palace. This further shows that the Qing Dynasty, like the Ming Dynasty, was not the life period of Baodai and others.
Three chaos official system
Various titles and official positions in A Dream of Red Mansions are at sixes and sevens:
It's no problem to promote the rules and give fu, the military counselor of the agreement. (second time)
Now that Daishan has passed away ... therefore, he was awarded an additional master's title to study in the Ministry, and now he has been promoted to foreign minister. (second time)
Yucun solved the case and hurriedly wrote two letters, together with Jia Zheng and Jing Ying, saying, "Your nephew's business is over, so don't worry about it." (the fourth time)
It's broken now. The Royal Guards caught it and sent it to the prison of punishments. They want to ask people sentenced to death. They were reported a few days ago. (Back to 8 1)
As can be seen from the above examples, the official system peculiar to the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties, the Song Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty was all arranged in the same period in A Dream of Red Mansions, and it was a ">:>
Question 7: Which dynasty is A Dream of Red Mansions about? The story of A Dream of Red Mansions is generally believed to have happened in the Qing Dynasty, including the change of power when the new emperor ascended the throne, but only the names and costumes, and many of them refer to the social customs in the late Ming Dynasty ... Also, Mr. Cao Xueqin is unwilling to specify which dynasty ...
Cai Yuanpei's Comments on A Dream of Red Mansions: Reveal the loss of the Qing Dynasty and mourn the demise of the Ming Dynasty.
Question 8: Which dynasty is A Dream of Red Mansions about? A Dream of Red Mansions is an autobiographical literature after artistic processing. Because of the literary inquisition and other reasons, the author begins by borrowing stones to say that he has hidden the dynasty, so there is no exact dynasty in the book. TV directors know the Qing Dynasty very well, but they must respect the original works, as long as they are costume dramas.
Question 9: Which dynasty was the author of A Dream of Red Mansions? In Qing dynasty, Cao Xueqin. The word Meng Ruan and Xueqin are its names. It is also called Qinpu (p incarnation) and Xiqin. The author of China's famous novel A Dream of Red Mansions.
Question 10: Which dynasty is A Dream of Red Mansions? Cao Xueqin, a novelist of Qing Dynasty in China, was born in 17 15 and died in 1763. Its predecessor was the Han nationality, and later it was the white flag coating (domestic slave) of the Manchu Alvin Xueqin. Cao Xueqin's great-grandfather Cao, grandfather, parents Cao J and Cao \, have worked as Jiangning weavers for more than 60 years, which is quite favored by Emperor Kangxi. Cao Xueqin grew up in splendor. In the early years of Yongzheng, due to the intervention of the internal struggle of the feudal ruling class, the Cao family suffered many blows, Cao was dismissed and imprisoned, his family property was confiscated, and his family moved back to Beijing. Since then, his family has been going downhill. This turning point made Cao Xueqin deeply feel the coldness of the world and more clearly understand the essence of the feudal social system. Since then, he has lived a poor life. He is good at writing and devotes himself to the writing and revision of A Dream of Red Mansions. He read 10 years, added and deleted five times, and wrote this literary masterpiece that pushed China's classical novel creation to the peak. A Dream of Red Mansions, with its rich content, tortuous plot, profound ideological understanding and exquisite artistic techniques, has become a great realistic work in China's classical novels. In the twenty-seventh year of Qianlong (1762), the youngest son died prematurely, and Cao Xueqin was plunged into excessive sadness and grief. On New Year's Eve (1764 February 1), he died of poverty due to illness (there are two versions about the year of Cao Xueqin's death), and the burial expenses were funded by friends.
Second, the author of A Dream of Red Mansions is another person.
In the first text of A Dream of Red Mansions, the author is called "Stone", which is naturally said by the novelist. Then he mentioned that "Cao Xueqin spent ten years for Hongxuan, adding and deleting five times, cataloguing and dividing chapters". However, a large number of fat reviews in early manuscripts pointed out that Cao Xueqin was the author. For example, there was a comment in the JOE edition for the first time: "If Yun Xueqin reads it and adds or deletes it, who wrote it after opening the book?" It shows that the author's pen is very cunning. "Zhifu has also said many times that many stories in A Dream of Red Mansions are based on the historical facts of the Cao family and can also be used as circumstantial evidence. The Fat Review reveals that the author is closely related to Cao Xueqin and his family, and is familiar with and even partially involved in the creation of A Dream of Red Mansions, so the Fat Review can be said to be the most direct evidence that Cao Xueqin is the author of A Dream of Red Mansions.
Ming Yi, a poet in the Qing Dynasty, said in the preface to tihongloumeng: "A Dream of Red Mansions was written by Cao Zixue Qin to record the prosperity of romantic life, and its ancestor was the magistrate of Jiangning. Its so-called Grand View Garden is the former site of today's garden. I am sorry that his book has not been passed down, and little-known people in the world will see his banknotes. " Yong Zhong, another imperial poet of the Qing Dynasty, wrote a poem called A Dream of Red Mansions in the thirty-third year of Qianlong, saying: "I can see three quatrains (surnamed Cao) in the novel A Dream of Red Mansions because of its ink fragrance. This is probably the earliest record that Cao Xueqin is the author of A Dream of Red Mansions besides A Dream of Red Mansions itself and Zhi Pi. Ming Yi and Yong Zhong are both Cao Xueqin's contemporaries. Although there is no evidence that they know Cao Xueqin, they have close contacts with Cao Xueqin's friends Duncheng and Dunmin, so their statements are considered highly reliable. But so far, in the works of Duncheng and Dunmin brothers, there is no record that Cao Xueqin is the author of A Dream of Red Mansions.
In addition, in the notes of Yuan Mei, Yu Rui and others who were contemporaries or later than Cao Xueqin, there are also records that Cao Xueqin was the author of A Dream of Red Mansions. 192 1 year, Hu Shi published Textual Research on A Dream of Red Mansions. According to the notes of Qing Dynasty and the textual research of Cao Xueqin's family background, Cao Xueqin was identified as the author of A Dream of Red Mansions, and since then he has become an authoritative theory. Later, the discovery of fat-based fat batches more strongly supported this conclusion. In recent years, although it has been suggested that the author of A Dream of Red Mansions is another person, the evidence is insufficient.
About the author of the last 40 chapters
Cheng Weiyuan said in the preface to a dream of red mansions 120 that he found more than 20 of the last 40 volumes from "book collectors and even old paper piles", and the rest 10 volumes were due to "drum burden", and he and Gao E only "carefully added points to make up for each other's shortcomings". However, most people think that the last four Ding Hui actually came from. In recent years, it has also been suggested that someone updated the last 40 chapters of this book, and the elevation really just edited it. Some people think that there are some old manuscripts of Cao Xueqin in the last forty chapters.
198 1 year, through the mathematical statistics of A Dream of Red Mansions, Chen Bingzao came to the conclusion that 120 chapters are all Cao Xueqin's original works. Academic circles have not yet reached a general understanding of this.
Stone and A Dream of Red Mansions
The story of a dream of red mansions begins with myth. In ancient times, two male gods fought and broke Tianzhu, and a hole was broken in the ceiling in the northwest. Goddess ... >>
