Fun Kan Red Chamber 243: It can be called a strange talk, foreign beauties make Chinese poems, cut off the liver and intestines, and han women are stored overseas
It is said that Jia Baoyu met Xue Baoqin's little girl named Xiaoluo on the road, and said that Baoqin and Baochao sisters were in XiaoxiangGuan. He followed suit.
Lin Daiyu was talking with BaoChao, Baoqin, and Xing Xiuyan at this time. Jia Baoyu saw a pot of "daffodils" opening well at the first sight of his seat.
Dai Yu said, "This is your family's grand master, Lai Da's aunt, who sent Xue Er's daughter, two pots of plums and two pots of daffodils." He gave me a pot of daffodils, and he gave me a pot of plums. I didn't want it, and I was afraid that I would fail his heart. If you want it, how about I send it to you? ”
Above we mentioned that Xue Baoqin sent Lamei and Daffodils to Jia Tanchun and Lin Daiyu, which were related to the Chinese poems she was about to talk about as the Western daughter of the True Kingdom of the West Sea.
Baoqin's name is "Xiaoluo", and he is the key person who connects the clues. Foreshadowing the end of Lin Daiyu and Jia Tanchun, it is to emulate Xiao Xiang's concubine Zi'e, The Second Daughter of the Emperor Ying, who married a foreign country as a princess, and the destination is the West Sea Yanzi, most likely the True True Kingdom.
Xiao Luo led Jia Baoyu to Xiaoxiang Hall to listen to the story, and Cao Xueqin wanted to connect with the stories of twenty fans such as "Xiangfei, Jade Bamboo, Elk, and Palm Bamboo" who had been taken away by the "Stone Nerd", implying that Jia Baoyu, the "Stone Nerd", would eventually lose the two closest loves of "Xiangfei (Lin Daiyu) and Elk (Banana Guest Jia Tanchun)".
Because of this pot of daffodils, Jia Baoyu proposed to start a society, and he chanted "Lamei Daffodil". Lin Daiyu laughed at the fact that he landed on the ground every time he composed a poem, and he was not afraid of shame. Bao Chao broke the siege for him, saying that he wanted to start a title of "Yong Tai Chi Tu".
So the words led Xue Baoqin to tell what he had heard and seen when he was eight years old and went to the sea with his father to go to the West Sea to handle foreign goods.
Baoqin said, "... When I was eight years old, I went with my father to buy foreign goods on the edge of the West Sea, and who knew that there was a girl from the True Kingdom, who was only fifteen years old, and her face was the same as that of the beauty in the Western painting, and she was also covered with yellow hair and hanging, and her head was full of precious stones such as coral, cat's eyes, and emeralds; she was wearing a gold silk lock armor and brocade sleeve; she was wearing a knife, which was also inlaid with gold inlays, and she was not as good as him in the painting. Some people say that he understands Chinese poetry books, can speak the Five Classics, and can compose poems to fill in the words, so my father was annoyed with a general official, and he wrote a word, and he wrote a poem he composed. ”
Xihai Yanzi is the name given to the South Asian subcontinent in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Sri Lanka, Tianzhu, and even to Iran and the Arab region.
Sri Lanka was a trading hub at the time. Merchants from east and west gather here to trade. In ancient times, it was called the Country of Lions, Ceylon, etc., and was also known as the Land of Gems. It has close contacts with China, and there is still a branch of the descendants of the old king of Ceylon in Quanzhou, Fujian Province, surnamed Xu Shi.
According to the History of Ming, in 1459, the king of Ceylon sent the prince Shiliba Jiaojia to accompany Zheng He's fleet to China to meet the Ming emperor. Unexpectedly, when he returned to China, he had not yet boarded the ship in Quanzhou, but he learned that there was a coup d'état in China. The prince's cousin usurped the throne, killed the prince's brothers, and waited for the crown prince to return home to wipe out one of the nets and cut the grass and roots. The prince of Ceylon stayed in China here, took the first word of the name "Shi" as a Chinese surname, and has lived in Quanzhou since then, that is, the ancestor of the "Xu Shi" family.
This history recorded in the History of the Ming Dynasty proves that there was a very close relationship between China and Sri Lanka. The Siamese tea mentioned in the twenty-fifth time can definitely be Ceylon black tea.
And tea is a tea ceremony, black tea from Sri Lanka, Lin Daiyu likes it. Junji Yakan speculated that the last destination of her marriage to Jia Tanchun was Ceylon, following Zheng He's trade route to the West and going to the true kingdom that Xue Baoqin said.
As for the Western beauty mentioned by Xue Baoqin, "a poetry book that understands China, can talk about the Five Classics, and can compose poems and fill in words", it is not something that can be learned casually, at least someone needs to be proficient and "teach by example".
Cao Xueqin is good at grass snake gray line lying thousands of miles, in fact, does not rule out the author's reverse ambush clues. The Western beauties that Xue Baoqin saw were most likely the descendants of Jia Tanchun who married overseas. Only her descendants, under her teachings, would "understand Chinese poetry books, speak the Five Classics, and fill in poems." But the poem is not necessarily the work of that beauty!
Of course, the above is junji Yakan red chamber "reverse push" Cao Xueqin deliberately overhead timeline. Whether this is the case or not, it is a matter of opinion.
Gossip aside, since Xue Baoqin said that Western beauties wrote poems, everyone naturally wanted to see it. At this time, Baoqin pushed it up, saying that it was not brought in Nanjing. Lin Daiyu didn't believe it, pointing out that she had come out of marriage, how could she not bring her own things out.
Xue Baochao could only play the round field and say that he didn't know which box to put in, and it was too late to find it now.
Here we should pay attention to the reason why Xue Baoqin lied, it is said that it is really necessary to carry it in the box, or it can be said truthfully, there is no reason to lie in Nanjing.
She didn't tell the truth, or the manuscript was gone, couldn't get it out, and couldn't prove it. Either this thing was put away as her dowry, and it was not easy to flip it casually.
No matter what, Xue Baoqin talked about this matter. So she listened to Baochao's suggestion and silently recited it in public.
Last night Zhu Lou dreamed, tonight the water country yin.
The island clouds steam the sea, and the lan qi meets the jungle.
The moon is not ancient, and the love is from shallow to deep.
Hannan Spring Calendar, Yan did not care.
There is also an episode before Baoqin recites the poem, Xue Baochao instructs Xiao Luo to call the "poetry madman" Shi Xiangyun and the "poetry nerd" Xiangling to listen together. Apparently, these two were talking about poetic poetry in the garden at this time.
This poem of the Western beauty, as everyone says, "Difficult for him!" It was even stronger than our Chinese. ”
The charm of the poem obviously cannot be compared with Daiyu's "Funeral Flower Yin", but it is better than superficial, especially as a poem that is an important clue to the "Dream of the Red Chamber", and it is a good completion of the task.
"Last night Zhu Lou dreamed, tonight the water country yin." Last night I dreamed of my home in my homeland, and today in this distant water country, I borrowed poetry to remember.
"Zhu Lou Dream" is "Dream of the Red Chamber", what is the "Red Chamber"? A lot of people argue about it. Junji Yakan Red Chamber believes that "Zhu Lou" is "Zhu Men", which means rich and noble.
Du Fu said: "Zhumen wine smells of flesh, and there are frozen bones on the road." Zhu Men refers to the rich and powerful rich and powerful.
The Jia family in "Dream of the Red Chamber" is Zhumen, and the house or Grand View Garden they give their daughters to live in is "Zhu Lou" referring to the daughter's embroidery building.
"Dream of the Red Chamber" literally means "the story of the daughter of a rich man".
"The island clouds steam the sea, and the lan qi meets the jungle." The clouds and mist on the island envelop the mountains and the sea in the distance, and the hometown is boundless.
The daughter married far away to a foreign island, misses her hometown but "the land is far away and the mountains are high", and she can never return in this life.
"The moon is not ancient, and the love is shallow and deep." The moon is the same circle in ancient and modern times, and the two places are bright at the same time. Sing to the moon, a song of acacia.
The month of his hometown is also the month of his hometown. Seeing the full moon, I can't help but sigh that "a thousand miles together" sigh.
"Hannan Spring Calendar, Yan Yan did not care." The scenery of my hometown is vividly remembered, how can I not miss it?
To put it simply, the author is in the sea island and water country shrouded in clouds and mist, dreaming of life in the old country, singing to the moon alone, recalling the past and the present, and mourning.
Junji Yakan Did not think that the poem was written by the Western woman. It is clear that after Jia Tanchun and Lin Daiyu married a foreign country as a princess, Lin Daiyu died soon after, buried in another hometown, leaving Jia Tanchun alone to live overseas. When Tanchun thought of his homeland, his home, and his deceased, he wrote this poem.
Then her poems were passed on to posterity, the true beauty of the country, which was copied down and brought back to China.
As for falling into the hands of Xue Baoqin, the matter of the time context is the novelist's words. The clue that Cao Xueqin wants to express is to point out that the True Kingdom of the West Sea is the destination for the second daughter to marry. Lin Daiyu buried her bones there, and Jia Tanchun lived there for the rest of his life.
Not only that, the reason why Jia Baoyu never returned after leaving home was that he also went there. What is "true"? Two "Jia (fake)" for the real!
Therefore, "Willow Silk" has brother and sister cooperation,
Jia Tanchun: "Hanging fibers in the air, hanging on the silk, it is also difficult to tie and difficult to bind, and the east, west, south, and north are separated." ”
Jia Baoyu: "Fall jun xiuxi, fly me to know myself." When the warbler butterflies are tired of the evening, even if it is next spring, see you again in the next year! ”
The "alternate period" agreed upon by Jia Baoyu was also the time to say goodbye to Lin Daiyu, but unfortunately, Daiyu had already died at that time. "Marry with the East Wind Spring, and go with Er to endure drowning." It is also "May the slave give birth to wings and fly with the flowers to the end of the heavens, at the end of the heavens, where there is a fragrant mound."
And the proverb that Jia Baoyu said to Lin Daiyu for the twenty-third time also said his final destination: "Good sister, don't spare me this fate, it was I who said it wrong." If you have the heart to bully you, Ming'er, I fell into the pool, taught a leper to swallow, became a big forgetfulness, and when you Ming'er became a 'Lady Yipin' and returned to the west, I will go to your grave to carry a monument for you for a lifetime. ”
After Jia Baoyu's family broke down and died, he found Lin Daiyu, who had become a "Lady of Yipin (Imperial Princess Grade)", and guarded the tomb for her for the rest of her life.
Jia Tanchun's most difficult time was followed by Jia Baoyu, and it was also a conversation to masturbate. However, Jia Baoyu obviously will not live a long life to accompany Tanchun. Probably after writing the "Record of the Love Monk", he also "consummated" with Daiyu, faded his skin bag and left to accompany Lin Daiyu, and the Divine Attendant and the Nuwa Patch Heavenly Stone were each returned to their places.
So, do you think Jia Tanchun is a character in the book of Li Yanzhai? To find out what happens next, look at the next breakdown!
