"Dream of the Red Chamber" begins with the appearance of Zhen Shiyin and Jia Yucun, and then leads to zhen baoyu of the Zhen family in Nanjing, which belongs to the Jia family and Jia Baoyu of the Second House of Ningrong.
When it is true, it is true and false, and there is nowhere and there is nothing.
Cao Xueqin began by borrowing "true and false", "having and not" to define the "rise and fall" of "Dream of the Red Chamber".
Regarding the definition of the Zhen family and the Jia family, there are also many opinions.
It is said that the Jia family is the Jiangning weaving Cao family. The author writes "real family" under the guise of "fake family", which is actually the story of the Cao family.
It is said that the Zhen family in Nanjing represents the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, and the Jia family in the capital represents the "Battle of Jingnan" after Zhu Di's position is not correct. He also borrowed the Ming Dynasty and qingxing to tell the essence of the rise and fall.
It is said that the Zhen family in Nanjing represents the Government of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and the Jia family in Beijing represents the Qing court...
The various statements vary. Junji Yakan is more inclined to the second theory, but does not think that it is necessary to apply these histories to read "Dream of the Red Chamber".
In the book, Cao Xueqin also draws on historical fragments such as "the change of XuanwuMen, the change of Ma Songyi, and the shame of Jingkang", not only limited to the Ming and Qing dynasties. The story of "Dream of the Red Chamber" lies in summing up the lessons of the rise and fall of history and vigilance against the world.
Junji Yakan Honglou believes that Zhen Shiyin and Jiangnan Zhenjia represent the essence of "death".
Zhen Shiyin lost his daughter Zhen Yinglian during the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month, and was burned to the ground by a fire in the Gourd Temple next door. Tian's property was also plagued by natural disasters and bandits, so he had to sell it to his father-in-law, and then he was abducted and deceived by the pit...
In the end, when Zhen Shiyin was about to "next life", he was used by the lame Daoist to use "Good Song" and left home. Leaving his wife Feng shi in her mother's house.
Zhen Shiyin's story has three points to pay attention to:
First, the fifteenth day of the first month is an important time node. Zhen Yinglian's loss and Jia Yuanchun's provincial relatives are both signals of "family death", and special attention should be paid to it.
Second, Zhen Shiyin "became a monk" and Jia Baoyu became a monk. Feng Shi is equivalent to Xue Baochao's ending.
Third, "Good Song" talks about "rise and fall", "existence or absence", and "true and false", which is closely related to the main theme of "Dream of the Red Chamber".
Zhen Shiyin is interpreted as "true things hidden", and the real things he hides are very interesting. It is not that the truth is blocked by him, but the rise and fall of the Jia family and Jia Baoyu, and we must find the answers one by one from Zhen Shiyin.
The Zhen family in Nanjing had nothing to do with Zhen Shiyin. The Zhen family also alludes to the jia family ending. What is more profound than zhen shi hermit is to directly give the essence of "stealing the family" of "death".
However, the Zhen family was raided before the Jia family. Here are the author's two meanings.
The first layer we said, hinting at the Jia family raiding the house.
The second is a two-layered political metaphor, which counts as an additional interpretation of the author's setting by the Red Chamber. It's a matter of opinion.
First, the Zhen family in Jiangnan was raided, and if the Ming Dynasty qingxing was used to interpret and apply "Dream of the Red Chamber", then the Zhen family in Nanjing, as the head of Zhu Yuanzhang, fought in their own nests, and Zhu Yunjiao was "raided" by Zhu Di in the Battle of Jingnan.
The fifth time, Qin Keqing suggested that Jia Baoyu go to her room to sleep. One of the aunts said, "Where is there an uncle who sleeps in his nephew's room?" "Innuendo Zhu Di seizing power.
The thirteenth time, Prince Yizhong's old Chitose "did something bad", and it was clear that he had failed in the struggle for power with the new emperor. It can also be used to write the Battle of Jing.
Of course, Junji Yakan Honglou believes that the most appropriate reference for this story of Prince Yizhong's old Chitose and the new emperor and Emperor Taishang, as well as the imperial court pattern at that time, is the change of XuanwuMen. The Battle of Jingnan was secondary.
However, the Zhen family raided the house first, alluding to the end of the Ming Dynasty of The Battle of Jingnan in Nanjing, Zhu Yunjiao, representing a change of power, from The Great Sect to the Small Sect.
Both Li Shimin and Zhu Di were "in the wrong position." Therefore, Nanjing is "true" and Beijing is "false"; bulk is "true" and small is "false". Ironically, they are not concubines.
Second, the Jia family was also raided after the Zhen family. On the other hand, the Ming Dynasty died and qingxing, and the Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty also perished. Foreshadowing the replacement of the Ming Dynasty by the Qing Dynasty.
The Zhen family first raided the house, and the change of power died an emperor who used "Zhen Baoyu" to represent Emperor Changzong. The Jia family followed suit, and also died an emperor represented by "Jia Baoyu", who was the usurper Xiaozong.
In terms of character setting, Jia Baoyu is the second son of the second room of Rong Guofu. Originally, there was no right of inheritance, but Jia Zheng was lucky enough to take the throne, so he became the heir of rongguo mansion together with Jia Huan, the concubine. The second-room Xiaozong entered the family, and after all, he was not in the right position.
The death of the Zhen family and the Jia family represents the two changes of power in the Ming Dynasty. Of course, this kind of thing actually happened in both the Song Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. The views in this article are only based on the story of the Ming Dynasty. That's why Cao Xueqin borrows from history, rather than restoring and recording history.
Of course, "Dream of the Red Chamber" borrows the lesson of the Ming Dynasty to warn the world, and there is no need to compare it with the Ming Dynasty, saying that "Dream of the Red Chamber" is "Ming History", no! "Dream of the Red Chamber" is more like a "wake-up call"!
Zhen Shiyin foreshadowed the specific events of the Jia family's demise. The step-by-step foreshadowing is very clear. What happened to him was "real things", and in the end, they fell on the head of the Jia family.
The Zhen family in Nanjing and the Jia family in Beijing are counted as the author's reference to the history of the Ming Dynasty. Zhen Baoyu and Jia Baoyu are the end of two periods of history in the Ming Dynasty. In fact, strictly speaking, it is three paragraphs, Jia Jing harmonic Jiayin Jiajing, and it is another paragraph. Just don't go deeper.
Again, "Dream of the Red Chamber" is to use historical allusions to talk about the rise and fall, not to tell history through stories. Don't put the cart before the horse, take a magnifying glass to cut the history of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, you don't have to!
Opening: Junji Yakan Red Chamber recommends reading books and reading stories, not to confuse these historical fragments. It's good to know that's the case.
