1. Can life and death distinguish between "gold" and "jade"?
Nostalgia is for those who are not around but are still alive; mourning is for those who are no longer alive. Therefore, it seems that the "gold" of the "gold" with the meaning of worldly life [Note 1] will not die, while the "jade" of the "jade" with the political meaning of the home country [Note 1] will undoubtedly die.
In the text of the Red Chamber, "Miao in the whole refers to the pen of striking east and west, striking grass and frightening snakes, if you read it to write one person is to do this one person to see, Sir will stay" (the third fat batch), and the eighth fat batch points out: "Qing has a forest wind", therefore, although there is a huge gap in identity between Qingwen and Daiyu, there is a magical connection between her and Daiyu.
The seventy-eighth time, Jia Baoyu used the most beautiful language and the most painful tone to fabricate the "Furong Recitation" for the unfortunate Qingwen, and Li Yanzhai also clearly pointed out: "Although it is known that although Qingwen is known, it is also true that Daiyu is also" and "The truth is not for Qingwen", so Qingwen belongs to the "jade" of political significance.
Qingwen is only a maid who is "a lowly" servant, but "Furong" uses allusions to Jia Yi, Cang, Shi Chong, Ji Kang, Lu An and other characters who suffered in political disputes, which is why this is the reason. In the twelve books, the painting of Qingwen - "Neither a figure nor a landscape, but an ink stain, full of dark clouds and fog on paper", is also quite hurt and cursed.
For the twentieth time, the text mentions that Musk Moon was "blatantly an attacker again." "Raid is the vice of the noodles" (the eighth lipogram), so the musk moon belongs to the "gold" of the worldly life.
On the sixty-third occasion, Musk Yue obtained the name of the flower with the inscription "Shaohua Shengji", which has an old poem on it, "Blooming to the Flowers of the Dragonfly", and its note cloud "Drink three cups each at the table to send spring". The orthodox "three springs" have completely passed, and under the oppression of the unorthodox, the baoyu and the grand view garden, which represent the orthodoxy, must begin the worldly life journey of "each must find its own door", so those present should drink three cups each, and the "three sorrows" bid farewell to the "three springs". Among them, the attackers had to leave Baoyu, who she did not care about all the time, and marry Jiang Yuhan. Lip Critic pointed out that after the raider got married, Musk Moon took the place of raider ren and accompanied Baoyu and Baochao, so "after the three springs went", Musk Yue was still alive.
Moreover, the twentieth lipogram pointed out: "Musk Yue is idle, making Yu sour, which is the so-called wound to the scene." Ding Haixia, deformity. Ding Haixia died after the death of the author, so the "Golden" Musk Moon was still alive until after the author's death, and she was one of the few people who accompanied the author to the final dream of the Red Chamber.
"Gold" and "Jade" represent Bao Chao and Daiyu, at the end of the story, Bao Chao lives tragically, Dai Yu dies tragically, and the Musk Moon of "Gold" and the Qingwen of "Jade" are also born and Qingwen dies. It seems that when orthodoxy is demise and unorthodox arrogance is arrogant, the "jade" in the text will undoubtedly die, and "jin" will still survive although it is not easy to survive.
However, the things of the world are always relative, and the greatness of the text lies in the fact that it is as rich as the world itself, and the "gold" and "jade" that are related to the main purpose of the text and the "golden mourning jade" that have "great meaning" are not simply defined by life and death, and there is a more complex and profound relationship between the two.
2. The "gold" plutonium will also die, and the "jade" plutonium may not die
The fifth time, Li Yanzhai pointed out: "There are only twelve titles, but no one has nothing to do, and nothing is prepared", so the tragic fate of Zhu Fang, represented by Bao Dai, is actually a portrait of a tragic era in the feudal period [Note 1]. This is a turbulent era, the struggle between orthodoxy and unorthodox is fierce, orthodox "orthodox strong and weak", and finally unorthodox unexpectedly came to power, the end of the world also began, how many people were caught up in the whirlpool of the times, for which they paid the price of their lives in vain, that is, "white bones forget their surnames, nothing more than princes and red makeup." The dream person who seems to be "gold" is also a part of this era, so the dream person who looks like "gold" in the text also has a high probability of dying.
For example, the attack of "attacking is the vice", it seems that it is undoubtedly the "gold" of the noodles. The twenty-eighth time, Jiang Yuhan's wine order: "Daughter is happy, the lamp flowers and the head are knotted." Daughter music, husband singing woman with truth and harmony. When the Grand View Garden, a symbol of orthodoxy and "avoiding the chaos of Qin", became yesterday's illusion and unorthodox, under the full slaughter of "after the three springs are gone, each must find its own door", he married Jiang Yuhan, and seemed to have found the "Taoyuan" of "avoiding Qin", becoming one of the lucky few among the fangs, ushering in another spring in life, and "offering jade brothers and Baoqing to the same end" with Jiang Yuhan (the twenty-eighth fat batch).
However, the text implies that Baoyu will be ordained twice, once because of Dai (the thirtieth time) and the other because of the attack (the thirty-first time), and in the text of "Grass Snake Gray Line, Fu Pulse Thousand Miles", the attacker will definitely die.
The sixty-third time, she occupied the peach blossom name sign, there is an old poem "peach is another year of spring", this poem is from the Song Dynasty poet Xie Fangde "Qingquan An Peach Blossom", the whole poem is as follows: find the Taoyuan to avoid Qin, peach is another year of spring. Hua Fei did not send with the flowing water, afraid that a fisherman would come to ask for help.
"Spring of the year" implies that happy times are always short-lived, and in the end "flowers fly and flow, and the fisherman comes to ask for favors", that is, it implies that the unorthodox party that is completely powerful did not let her go, and finally came to the door. The twenty-eighth time, Jiang Yuhan's wine order also had "the sorrow of the daughter": "The daughter is sad, and the husband will not return." The daughter was worried and had no money to play osmanthus oil. In the end, Jiang Yuhan will never return, and the raiders will also go to the end of their lives in poverty.
For another example, Jin Jun'er, as the eldest lady next to Madame Wang, also seems to be a "golden" plutonium, but she "died" early in the thirty-second time, and her soul returned to the illusion.
In addition, the first woman in the opening volume, Zhen Yinglian (Xiangling), who "has no fate and no luck, affecting her father's mother", a series of events that change or even determine her fate, such as the abduction of the Lantern Festival, the encounter with Xue Pan, the overlord of the Dumb King, and the need to serve Xia Jingui, etc., seem to be just accidents, which have nothing to do with political implications, but in the end they also "return to their hometown".
In feudal times, even in the darkest dynasties, no matter how many political victims there were, there would always be survivors. For example, Jin Jun'er's sister Yu Jun'er and Xiaohong (Lin Hongyu) seem to be "jade" nobiles, but in the first eighty times, there is no clue that they will die before the end of the story.
3. "Gold" and "jade" are one, and it is difficult to distinguish
In the twelve paintings of an era, the dreamer who seems to be "golden" will also die like the dream person who looks like "jade", and the seemingly "jade" of the jade may not necessarily die, so in the text of "Zhen Shiyin" that is played out with "Jia Yu Village Dialect", the era of "Zhen Shiyin" by the "profound meaning" of "Huaijin Mourning Jade" is an apocalypse that makes people confused and powerless, and all struggles and efforts are useless, and can only look forward to the next reincarnation of the cycle. That is, the so-called ancestors of the Jia family in Jia Yu Village are Jia Fu of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Seemingly "gold" in the dream of people will also be like the seemingly "jade" dream people will die, and seemingly "jade" in the dream of people may not necessarily die, which contains a profound social proposition, that is, the "jade" of home country politics and the "gold" of secular life are actually indistinguishable one, because in the world, eating, drinking and sleeping are indispensable, but people as social animals, always have to live in the social structure of a specific time and space, and can not avoid being affected by politics.
Therefore, in the "cherishing gold mourning jade" that "has great meaning", the "jade" of home country politics and the "gold" of secular life are actually not clear opposites, but two inseparable sides of one body, the sorrow of "gold" is the sorrow of "jade", and the death of "jade" is also the death of "gold", and it is difficult to draw a clear line between the two.
"Gold" and "jade" are one, with profound meaning, that is, the politics of the homeland and the secular life are inseparable, interdependent, and mutually influential, in the text of "all the metaphors in the table", presented in the crown of the twelve, the representative of "gold" and "jade" in the "Huaijin Mourning Jade" - 钗 Dai, that is, the first forty times no matter how the two people confront each other with twin peaks, to the forty-second time the jade is finally to be integrated, and from then on, the shadow of the dai and the style of the jade [Note 2], that is, the return to the former general batch of clouds "although there are two, the person is one, this magic pen is also" 。
