The leprosy monk was an important figure in threading needles. He is the initiator and promoter of the story of "Dream of the Red Chamber".
However, the leprosy monk's human appearance is so different from that of a real person that people do not believe that he is a "real person".
One day, just as the mourning was mourning, a monk came from afar, born with extraordinary bones, and the gods of abundance were different, talking and laughing to the bottom of the peak, sitting on the side of the stone and talking about fast talk.
When Fang wanted to come in (the first time), he saw a monk coming from over there, and the monk was leprosy and limp, and the monk was lame, crazy, and squandered.
See what the monk looked like:
The nose is as long as two eyebrows, and the eyes are like the treasure of the stars,
The broken shoes have no trace, and the pickled shoes are full of sores.
The vast master immortal wind fairy bones, the leprosy monk pickled and sloppy, and the mouth is full of "nonsense", which is inevitably "crazy and crazy".
Then, why is it that the vast master and the humble real person agreed to "temper" the robber in the human world in order to seek merit, why is it a pickled and sloppy image?
To understand Cao Xueqin's true intentions in shaping the character, it is also necessary to start from the several appearances of the leper monk.
The first time they walked in the human world, the leprosy monk appeared in front of Zhen Shiyin, although they had seen it in their "dreams" before, and Zhen Shiyin had forgotten about it.
The monk went crazy and went crazy to tell Zhen Shiyin that Zhen Yinglian was a person who "had no luck and was involved in his parents", and asked his daughter to "give up on him"!
In his image, Zhen Shiyin did not say that he loved his daughter as if he could not give up, even if he had no feelings for his daughter, how could he "give up him"!
On the second human walk, the leprosy monk came to jia's house at the critical moment when Jia Baoyu and Wang Xifeng were magically enchanted by the five ghosts, and showed their miraculous ability to save Jia Baoyu.
In two appearances, the leprosy monk explained what is meant by "real people do not show their faces".
Zhen Shiyin "judged people by their appearance" and did not believe in the leprosy monk, so that he would have the fate of losing his daughter and destroying his family.
Jia Zheng had no way at that time, the dead horse Quan was a live horse doctor, let the leper monk try it, and sure enough, it worked.
The core idea embodied in this is "hearing is seeing is believing"!
If the leprosy monk can show the divine strangeness to make Zhen Shiyin convinced, it is likely that he will make the incense ring and avoid the destruction of the Zhen family.
Similarly, the leprosy monk also went to Lin Ruhai's house, but he also failed to temper Lin Daiyu. All because of the empty mouth and the false hearing, they cannot win the trust of others.
The leprosy monk showed miracles in the Jia family, and the magic that came and went suddenly, the Jia family believed in him, and it was good for Jia Baoyu. It's seeing is believing.
If the leprosy monk really went to give Xue Baochao the prescription of the cold incense pill, and there was also the medicinal primer of the strange smell, it would also make the Xue family see it as a reality to dispense the medicine, and Xue Baochao would be fine.
"Hearing is false" is the opposite of this.
"Seeing is believing" is the right thing to do!
The leper monk conveys such a truth.
But is seeing real? The "sloppy" image of the leprous monk is pickled. Who could believe that his essence was that of a true Immortal Master!
Therefore, Cao Xueqin gave a deeper truth on the basis of reasoning. It is for the "true and false" theory. "True when fake is true"!
The truth is told to the world, and the truth is told to the world!
When "seeing is believing and hearing is false", the author gives the answer by borrowing his daughter's fate.
First, Qin Keqing's "climbing ashes" is undoubtedly a false ear. Jiao Da could not have known the story of the Ningguo Mansion.
Second, after Jin Jun'er was taken away, Aunt Zhao said that she was "raped", which was also a false hearer, a rumor, but a life.
Third, Xue Baochao heard it with his own ears outside the Di Cui Pavilion and saw Xiao Hong and Xiang'er discussing the "handkerchief private affair" with Jia Yun, which was seen as believing.
Fourth, after Qin Keqing's death, Jia Zhen behaved "like a mourning concubine" in front of outsiders, and when she showed a difference with her daughter-in-law, what she saw was not necessarily the truth!
Fifth, Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu behaved intimately, but Qiu Qiu did not commit any crimes, nor did they see what they believed!
Sixth, attacking people and being virtuous, and Jia Baoyu secretly tested Yun Yu's love affair; Qingwen Qiao, but with Jia Baoyu Bing Qing Yu Jie. Which is hearing and seeing is believing?
Therefore, Cao Xueqin truly conveyed a truth through the leprosy monk's "real people do not show their faces". Hearing with your own ears, seeing with your own eyes, and personally supporting it is the "truth."
The same is true of the rise and fall of the Jia family. What was the charge against them when they were raided by the emperor? Did the emperor really "hear the false and see the truth"?
It doesn't matter whether the Jia family has been wronged or not!
Therefore, the essence of rise and fall behind the "true and false" only reflects human desire!
The appearance of the leprosy monk is a medium that further magnifies the layer of human desire.
Therefore, Jia Yucun will think that "there is some truth in the front of the Zhitong Temple, and there is no way to turn back in front of you", but he does not think so. Just because I can't empathize.
He was really interested in the old monk, who was deaf and mute. It is believed that there may be "divine anomalies", which is the "desire" of Jia Yucun.
However, the old monk was only interested in the pot of porridge in front of him, ignoring Jia Yucun, which was his desire again.
Through the appearance of the old monk, the author tells the world that those who are immersed in desire are "deaf and dumb." The appearance is not true, "the ear is not true, the eye is not true"!
The so-called Jia Yu Village, "really stupid" also!
The incarnation of the leper monk is a torture of all the readers, what is "true or false"? How can I judge!
The truth is neither "pickled", but often "pickled"!
