Fun Kan Red House 234: Plum Blossom View Nostalgia, Du Liniang Resurrection, Grand View Garden Broken, Jia Xichun renunciation
Xue Baoqin's ten nostalgic poems, the last one is "Plum Blossom View Huaigu", which canonizes "Peony Pavilion".
Ten nostalgic poems as a riddle of the Spring Festival, but also Jia Mu likes the simple "colloquialism", first of all to express auspicious, followed by shallow, and finally common. So the riddle of ten nostalgic poems is not difficult.
The last song "Plum Blossom View nostalgia" is the simplest, but at a glance, you know that it is a fan or a fan. And the metaphor of "Plum Blossom View huaigu" is undoubtedly only Jia Xichun. As for the specific foreshadowing, please read on.
Plum Blossom View nostalgic for ancient Qiqi
Not in the plum side in the willow edge, who picks up the painting Chan Juan.
Reunion Mo remembers the spring fragrance, a farewell to the west wind for another year.
"Plum Blossom View Huaigu" canonized "Peony Pavilion". Plum Blossom Temple, like Pudong Temple, is a worldly and invented scenic spot, just like the current Daguanyuan and Ningrong Erfu.
The plum blossom temple that Xue Baoqin visited was built by people based on the story of "Peony Pavilion". This riddle poem, the most important thing to pay attention to is the first sentence "not in the plum side in the willow side", often taken out, saying that Xue Baoqin did not marry Mei Hanlin's son in the end, but married Liu Xianglian. This is completely wrong.
First of all, Liu Xianglian and Jia Baoyu's ending is to leave home. There is no possibility of "remarriage" later.
The so-called marriage between Liu Xianglian and Xue Baoqin, Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun, absolutely does not exist!
Secondly, the foreshadowing object of the poem "Plum Blossom View huaigu" is Jia Xichun, not Xue Baoqin. "Not in the plum side in the willow edge", the expression is the story of Du Liniang buried under the plum tree but still the soul followed Liu Mengmei, and the deep meaning is that jia Xichun became a nun and has nothing to do with Xue Baoqin. More on that later.
"Peony Pavilion" is the most famous dream in Tang Xianzu's "Four Dreams of Linchuan", also known as the "Four Dreams of Yumingtang". Also known as "The Book of The Return of the Soul". The literary "form" of "dream" means "story." The name of "Dream of the Red Chamber" was also influenced by this.
"Peony Pavilion" tells the story of the beautiful and intelligent official Qianjin Du Liniang, but she was imprisoned by her stubborn father in a small building at home and was not allowed to contact external things.
When Du Liniang was a teenager, her father hired an old Confucian for her. Lao Ru began to lecture on the "Book of Poetry and Guan Ju" for the first time. Let Du Liniang feel the beauty of love for the first time and have a yearning.
In the following days, Ya Gui Chunxiang led Du Liniang to the back garden to enjoy the spring scenery, and she felt the beauty of spring and the emptiness of the year for the first time. I yearn for the love in the Book of Verses.
Du Liniang came back from the garden and had a dream, in which a scholar Liu Mengmei came to see her with willow branches, and the two of them experienced a "cloud and rain" joy in the peony pavilion.
After Du Liniang woke up from a dream, she was frightened and caused the disease of lovesickness, and died of lovesickness on the night of August 15th.
Du's father was promoted, buried his daughter under the plum blossoms in the backyard, and built a "plum blossom temple" as a sacrifice.
Three years later, a scholar Liu Mengmei entered Beijing to take the exam, borrowed the Plum Blossom Temple, and met with the ghost of Du Liniang to marry. Du Liniang defended herself in the underground mansion that her life should not be extinguished, so she was reborn.
Liu Mengmei keju was a high school champion and took the initiative to meet his "father-in-law" and tell about his marital fate with Du Liniang. After some twists and turns, Du Liniang recognized her father again, and liu Mengmei was truly married and won a happy ending.
"Peony Pavilion" actually tells two stories, one is the love story of Du Liniang and Liu Mengmei. One is the father-daughter relationship between Du Liniang and her father Du Bao.
Du Bao treated his daughter Du Liniang too old-fashioned and pedantic, and even unkind. He never really understood and walked into Du Liniang's life.
After Du Liniang's death, he buried his daughter under a plum tree and built a plum blossom temple to pay tribute. Hearing that Liu Mengmei dug her daughter's grave, she was furious, not to verify her daughter's life and death and happiness, but to execute Liu Mengmei just for his reputation and personal feelings. Du Liniang did not agree with her father!
And the father-daughter relationship is the main theme of this song "Plum Blossom View nostalgia"!
"Not in the plum side, in the willow side," Du Liniang "returned the soul", was dug out of the grave under the plum tree by Liu Mengmei and revived from the dead. It means that she no longer belongs to the Du family and follows Liu Mengmei.
Before her death, Du Liniang painted a portrait of herself and inscribed a poem on the painting:
"It seems to be clear from close up, and it seems to be flying immortals from a distance."
He was a guest of the Toad Palace, not in the plum side but in the willow side. ”
The poem foreshadows that she will "come back from the dead" to Liu Mengmei of kaozhong Zhuangyuan. "Not in the plum side but in the willow side" fits Liu Mengmei's name.
"Who among them picks up the painting Chan Juan?" Liu Mengmei borrowed at the Plum Blossom Temple and found a portrait of Du Liniang, and only then did the story of the two yin and yang meeting occur.
"Painting" is very important, it is the fate medium of Liu Mengmei and Du Liniang.
"Reunion Mo recalled Chunxiang," Du Liniang was once led by Ya Gui Chunxiang to the back garden to "visit the garden", only to meet Liu Mengmei in a dream. Now the two meet again for a "reunion", but the original Haruka is no longer there. There is a sense of objectivity.
"Another year to leave the west wind." After Liu Mengmei and Du Liniang got married, they also had to go to Beijing to catch the "meeting test". In the autumn, I left for the imperial examination and returned, and another year passed.
"West wind" refers to autumn. The ancient Keju Township Examination begins in august in the autumn. The examination begins in February in the spring, followed by the temple examination.
In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, and long-distance keju scholars generally set off for Beijing in the autumn. Liu Mengmei entered Beijing to take the exam, and wanted to leave Du Liniang for a short time, from autumn to the second year, "a farewell to the west wind and another year", reflecting the unwilling intention.
On the surface, "Plum Blossom View huaigu" is written about Du Liniang's soul and Liu Mengmei's marriage and reunion. The purpose of the poem is the story of Du Liniang's rebirth as a daughter of the Du family.
The first thing Du Liniang did when she returned her soul was not to go to her father, but to marry Liu Mengmei. She was reluctant to leave Liu Mengmei for a short time, and even remembered the help of Yu Chunxiang to her "visiting the garden", but she did not think about her parents, it was a grudge in her heart.
The mystery about "Plum Blossom View Huaigu" is Tuan Fan, which is almost no controversy.
Plum represents winter, and willow represents summer. Fans are used in the summer. Hence the name "not in the plum side but in the willow side".
"Tuan Fan" is generally painted with female flowers and birds. The shape is mostly round, and the delegation is round. The fan is also "scattered", the meaning of life and death.
When autumn comes, the fans will be put away and will be used again the next year. "Another year with a west wind" points out the characteristics of the fan.
As for the innuendo of Jia Xichun in "Plum Blossom View huaigu", there are mainly several reasons.
First, Du Liniang did not agree with her father's upbringing of her, and she did not long to be reunited with her father after her resurrection. Similar to Jia Xichun's cold break with his father Jia Jing and Ning Guofu.
Jia Jing said well, he would rather go to the Taoist Temple and the Taoist monks Hu Mi did not pay much attention to his daughter.
Du Bao took pains to build a Taoist memorial after Du Liniang's death, but he did not really understand her daughter when she was alive.
Jia Jing and Du Bao, the two fathers, are indifferent to their daughters.
Second, Du Liniang is good at painting, and the portraits she paints become the key to reunion with Liu Mengmei. Xi Chun is also good at painting, which is also the key to the foreshadowing of "Plum Blossom View huaigu".
However, Jia Xichun's ending did not get Liu Mengmei's sincerity like Du Liniang, but became a nun.
Third, the plum blossoms of the plum blossom view represent Taoism. The willow branch represents the Buddhist family.
Guanyin Bodhisattva jade net bottle with willow branches. It is said that there are thirty-three bodhisattvas, one of which is Yangliu Guanyin, also known as the Medicine King Guanyin. She knotted the Fearless Seal in her left hand and held a willow branch in her right hand. The willow is a Buddhist symbol.
Jia Jing said well, Du Liniang's father Du Bao built the Plum Blossom Temple, which should be good.
Xi Chun went against his father for the sake of his family, just like Du Liniang and Liu Mengmei privately decided to live forever, "not in the plum side but in the willow side".
Fourth, the tuan fan is also a fan, scattered. "Plum Blossom Guan Huaigu", as the last of the ten Huaigu poems, uses a fan to metaphorically refer to the "scattering" of the Jia family, and also implies That Xi Chun was determined to leave the family as the last person in Ningguo Mansion.
There is no doubt that Jia Zhen and Jia Rong's father and son in Ningguo Province will die. Neither of them had any more children. Only Jia Xichun was left in the bloodline of the Concubine Changfang of ningguo Province, but she left the family, indicating the complete demise of the Jia family of the second duke of Ning Rong!
Junji Yakan Red Chamber used ten articles to explain the mystery of ten ancient poems alone, and foreshadowed the Jinling Twelve Nobles. At the end of this article, a brief summary will be made.
"Chibi Nostalgia", the mystery is "river lamp". Foreshadowing Jia Yuanchun.
The mystery of "Cross-toe Nostalgia" is "carriage (doubtful)". Foreshadowing Jia Tanchun.
"Zhongshan Nostalgia", the mystery is "salt". Foreshadowing.
"Guangling Huaigu", the mystery is "vinegar". Foreshadowing Qin Keqing
"Huaiyin Huaigu", the mystery is "rice". Foreshadowing Wang Xifeng and Sister Qiao.
"Peach Leaf Crossing Nostalgia", the mystery is "tea". Foreshadowing Li Feng.
"Aozuka Nostalgia", the mystery is "sauce". Foreshadowing Lin Daiyu.
"Ma Song Huaigu", the mystery is "oil". Foreshadowing Shi Xiangyun.
"Pudong Temple Nostalgia", the mystery is "chai". Foreshadowing Jia Yingchun.
"Plum Blossom View Nostalgia", the mystery is "Tuan Fan". Foreshadowing Jia Xichun.
The reason why there is no Xue Baochao is that Xue Baoqin is the "shadow" of her sister Baochao, and Baoqin said that it is equal to Baochao.
This concludes the interpretation of the ten nostalgic poems. The original story will continue to be interpreted later.
