Senior officer
Why does "Dream of the Red Chamber" go out of its way to write an eighteen-line small role?
"Dream of the Red Chamber" is a meticulous novel that makes tireless descriptions of people and things. According to the statistics of the literati of the Republic of China, a total of 975 people were included. Among them, there are 732 people with surnames and names, and 243 people with no surname and no surname, each with a biography, and the number of words varies. However, these descriptions of "Dream of the Red Chamber" are by no means redundant, everyone has its own value of existence, and is inextricably linked to the fate of the Jia family, grass snake gray line, thousands of miles, here inadvertently appears, the other place is implicated in a number of things.
The 18th Yuan Chun Provincial Relatives, in the midst of the hustle and bustle, wrote a small Dan Ling official who sang in the lower ninth stream, and accounted for a large section, even the repertoire, rewards, and character temperaments were also explained one by one, and Yuan Chun even gave her two rewards and two edicts, and specially entrusted her. Such meticulous care can't help but make people doubt Dou. Princess Yuan's own brother-in-law Jia Huan, and nephew Jia Lan have only taken it in one stroke, why are they so concerned here?
Lin Daiyu
This is not to mention, in the 22nd time, Jia Mu gave Bao Chao a birthday, the ling official appeared again, and also got the favor of Jia Mu, extra rewarded, and even did not care about the feelings of touching Dai Yu, and also provoked Dai Yu and Shi Xiangyun and Bao Yu to quarrel. This time is the twenty-first day of the first month, Bao Chao's birthday, it has already passed the fifteenth day of the first month, the day of the Lantern Festival, but Jia Yuanchun came from the palace to send out the riddle of the lamp, guessing and guessing, it actually shot everyone's heart, making a sullen and scattered.
The fourth day of the 30th month of May, it is another juncture in the whole book, Baochao's draft has changed, Daiyu, Baoyu, and Baochao have quarreled again, Jin Jun'er has been beaten, and Ling Guan has appeared again, obsessively drawing "roses" on the ground, stopping the meaning of the text, and wanting to stop talking.
In the 36th time, lingguan appeared again, this time writing about the feelings of lingguan and Jia Qiang, Jia Qiang was a deep love, while Lingguan was in a depressed state of mind, and the friendship between the two was like Bao Dai, and there were some differences. At this time, the lingguan was already sick, and he had coughed up blood when he woke up early, and by the time the Jia family sent Youling on the 58th time, there was no longer the name of the lingguan, and he was afraid that he had already died.
The character of Ling Guan is not big, small is not small, but there are many pens and inks that can be occupied, and there are clear character shaping and emotional life clues. If the shaping of her has nothing to do with the content of the whole text, it seems that the structure of the article is loose, and the technique is not high-profile; if her role is only a tool person, when Yuan Chun is pro-family, the four plays of "Grand Feast", "Beggar Qiao", "Xian Yuan" and "Leaving the Soul" are introduced, suggesting the defeat of the Jia family, the death of the Yuan Concubine, Zhen Baoyu sending jade, and the death of Dai Yu, and it is somewhat superfluous to write about her and Jia Qiang's feelings later. According to the beating of "Dream of the Red Chamber" on the back of Fu Fan, one blow and two sounds, and the cloud dragon fog and rain, Ling Guan must have hidden another anecdote. On the occasion of this New Year, when there is nothing to do, I will come to idle, not to solemnly examine the evidence, but only for Bo Junguan'er.
Yuan Chun
Why did Jia Yuanchun treat Ling Guan differently, as if he were his own children?
In the 18th time, Jia Yuanchun province relatives, what to see the lamp, inscription, poetry, are all coping, only listening to the drama and worshiping the Buddha are really in the heart, listening to the drama of the two gifts, see the temple "busy with another hand, go in to burn incense, worship the Buddha."
After writing, he smiled at the sisters, "I have no talent, and I am not good at chanting, and my sisters know it well." Tonight's chat is just a matter of responsibility, and it is just a matter of time.
The book says that Yuan Chun listened to the two plays of "Ren Ren" and "Xiang Scolding" that Ling Guan insisted on singing was "very happy", which was Yuan Chun's only joyful self-appearance in the whole provincial pro-family process, so she deliberately "ordered: 'Mo Nan for this girl, good life and teaching.'" Two extra horses of palace silk, two purses, and gold and silver hammers and the like were rewarded. "And the other good people, cooks, hundred plays, miscellaneous people and the like, but a total of five hundred clear money."
Why is the article written like this? Just to highlight that Yuan Chun is a lover of opera? This has little to do with the theme of the novel. There should be an ambush in this, otherwise it is superfluous.
Peony Pavilion
Jia Qiang asked Ling ling to compose "Visiting the Garden" and "Frightening Dreams", which are the two plays in "Peony Pavilion", which tell the story of du Liniang, a rich woman, and Liu Mengmei, a scholar in a dream, falling in love, thinking of illness, dying, and finally being buried in the Plum Blossom Temple, after which Du Liniang came back from the dead, and Liu Mengmei, who was admitted to the yuan, eventually became a family member. These two folds did not sing, and then Jia Yuanchun withdrew the feast to play, he met Li Cui'an, went in to burn incense, worship the Buddha, and inscribed plaques, and the most impressive thing that happened in Li Cui'an was tea tasting and one was begging for plums. It seems that these things are related to Yuan Chun or other Jia family members.
Looking at the two-fold drama of "Rendezvous" and "Scolding", it is from the "Book of Chao Jun", which is also the love story of the rich girl Shi Bitao and the scholar Huangfu Yin. However, the two families originally had a marriage contract, and the Emperor Fu Yin family fell in the middle of the road, and the Historian wanted to repent of the marriage and remarry his daughter to the Privy Counsellor Wei Guoxiang. Shi Bitao did not violate the marriage contract, and secretly ordered the lady to give two tables, namely, 钗, 钏, and silver. After the yin and yang mistakes, after several twists and turns, the peak circuit turns, and the lovers eventually become dependents.
Listening to the drama conformed to Yuan Chun's thoughts, and Yuan Chun would be very happy. It is very tempting to imply that Yuan Chun had a crush before entering the palace, but now as an imperial concubine, it is as if Shi Bitao has married the Privy Counsellor Wei Guoxiang, everything is too late, but it is always happy to be obscene.
The content of these two plays is similar, why does Ling Guan insist on not singing "Garden Tour" and "Frightening Dreams"? It is because the realization of the ideal in "Dream of visiting the garden" is premised on the death of the woman, and it is necessary to die to break through the shackles of feudal etiquette, and the senior official does not want to do so. In Jia Yuanchun, the rich woman loves the poor student, and the old official is the brother of the prince who loves the bitter and the good, and the roles of men and women are different, and the same is the love of the exaggerated class. This is the easiest to understand, but in this way, the intention is still on the other side, and needs to have a closer relationship with the content of the article, above we said that "Dream of the Red Chamber" often uses one hit two sounds, and even one hit multiple sounds, is it possible that the plot here also reflects other people?
Jia Qiang
Who is Jia Qiang? What is his relationship with Jadezhan?
Earlier, we proposed that Lin Daiyu's mother, Jia Min, was not born to Jia Daishan's mother, but to Jia Daishan's concubine. The evidence of this is in "Cold Eyes at the Red Chamber: Lin Daiyu's Mother is Jia Mu's most beloved daughter? Don't be deceived by Jia Mu" explained in detail in the article, I will not repeat it here. Then again, what kind of person is Jia Min's biological mother? What about her relationship with Jia Daishan, the Duke of Rongguo? These articles are not explained, but we can still find clues from "Dream of the Red Chamber".
Cursive rose characters, do not tell you, will you recognize as a good word?
In the ninth time, there appeared a figure in Ning Fuzhong's upright sect Xuansun Jia Qiang, he is the upright Xuansun, referring to the concubine lineage, it should be the child of Jia Zhen's brother, he is sixteen this year, two or three years younger than Jia Rong, should be the child of Jia Zhen's brother. Jia Zhen's younger brother died early, and Jia Qiang lived with Jia Zhen, the great uncle. In this way, there is a brotherly relationship like Jia Rong and Jia Qiang, which is somewhat similar to the jia family's second generation of mu Jia Daihua and Jia Daishan brothers.
In simplified Chinese, the characters for rose and good are already very close
Let's take a look at the good characters of Jia Daishan, the Duke of Rongguo, and the rose characters of Jia Qiang, the top of the rose is a cursive character head, and the good also has a similar cursive head structure, the middle part is exactly the same, and the lower part has oral characters, although there are still differences in traditional characters, and the rose characters in cursive are very similar to the good characters.
If Jia Qiang is the counterpart of Jia Daishan, then lingguan, as a drama, has no way to become Jia Qiang's main room, which will represent Jia Daishan's favorite concubine. This little concubine, like Aunt Zhao, gave birth to a man and a woman to Jia Daishan, the male was Jia Zheng, and the female was Jia Min, that is to say, the Lingguan actually represented Lin Daiyu's grandmother. Therefore, she will look like Lin Daiyu, and her temperament also has some characteristics of Lin Daiyu.
Meet and scold each other
Ling Guan is Lin Daiyu's maternal grandmother, and Lixiangyuan is the residence of two generations of Youling
It sounds weird, but it's not impossible. The Jia family had previously raised a drama team, and in the 18th time, Jia Qiang bought twelve girls from Gusu - Lingguan came from Gusu, and Jia Min went from Gusu, which was a bridge. Where do the little dramatists live after they come? It's right in Lixiangyuan. What does this Pear XiangYuan do? The 4th time it was explained, "It is the place where Rong Gong recuperated in his twilight years." "Now that the lingguan has arrived, the story begins again in Lixiangyuan. Who did Jia Qiang ask to teach them? "In addition, there were women in the family who had learned to sing---- and now they are all old women, and they lead the management." Oh, white hair also. Lady Wang is nearly fifty years old, but she is not an old woman, and the age of these older dramatists should be around sixty years old, a little younger than Jia Mu, older than Lady Wang, and the age of the concubine.
Jia Min's mother may have been at a birthday party in the past, for Jia Mu's favor, selected from the youling, and gave it to her husband Jia Daishan to make up for her regret that she could not have children. Jia Mu was the main mother, but could not give birth, the eldest son was born from another concubine, in order to maintain the status of her master mother, Jia Mu was determined to follow the way Empress Gaozong of Tang dealt with Xiao Shufei, and find a beautiful girl to balance and pamper with her. Sure enough, this little drama lived up to Jia Mu's expectations and gave birth to a son and a daughter for Jia Daishan. Not Empress Wang, she was Empress ZhangXian, who put Jia Zheng and Jia Min's birth mother to death, and obeyed Jia Mu. Later, the drama did not know what kind of illness he died, and Jia Mu naturally took the two children into her own hands.
Jia Zheng and Aunt Zhao
Jia Daishan has a deep affection for Jia Min's mother, and in his later years he did not live with Jia Min, but has been living in Lixiangyuan, because there are precious memories of two people here. This time, let the small drama brought by Jia Qiang re-live in Lixiangyuan, and call the drama of that generation to teach Ling Guan and others to sing, that is, to pick up flowers and relive old dreams.
Because his grandmother was born in drama, Jia Yuanchun was talented in music. "Yuan Ying sighs" Four springs correspond to the four skills of "qinqi calligraphy and painting", we are familiar with the yingchun yatou is Siqi, the tanchun yatou is Cuimo, the xichun yatou is into the painting, and in the 18th time, Yuanchun's yatou is the piano. The reason why she was able to get the emperor's favor was probably that she was good at playing the piano and singing, so her love for drama was sincere, so it was also very easy to understand her attitude towards lingguan.
On the one hand, she likes it herself, and on the other hand, Lingguan reflects her grandmother, and she sees natural kindness. Another point is that the "Record of Chao Ju" sung by Ling Guan not only reflects Yuan Chun's state of mind, Ling Guan's encounters, and the old affairs of Rong Guo gong, but also rings the bells of Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu by the way, so designed, the structure is in all directions, exquisite and exquisite.
Jia Mu also experienced Madame Wang's experience
In this way, it can also explain why on Baochao's birthday, Lin Daiyu was furious when she heard Shi Xiangyun say that Ling Guan looked like herself. Because she knew that her own grandmother was born into a drama, it was not her fault. But on this occasion today, when she was brought up, she was compared to Bao Chao, how could she bear it?
However, there is no way to deny the blood relationship, and in the 30th time, Bao Yu saw the Lingguan "eyebrows rubbing spring mountain, eyes autumn water, thin waist, Yuan Yuan Tingting, and a great state of Daiyu." She interacted with Jia Qiang, just like Dai Yu and Bao Yu. Although Lin Daiyu did not study drama, she won "Hui Zhen Ji" and was fascinated by it, which was also due to nature.
Later, Ling Guan died, one is the ending of Jia Min's mother, and the other is daiyu's early death, and the whole story is interlocked and tightly sewn.
Cycle
The strange closed-loop structure of "Dream of the Red Chamber", the tragedy of feudal society is cyclical
"Dream of the Red Chamber" wrote twelve positive noodles, twelve pairs of noodles, twelve pairs of vice noodles, women of different statuses, but have a similar fate, under feudal etiquette, women's fate can not be autonomous, there is no distinction between noble and lowly. But this is not comprehensive enough, throughout history, every family has twelve, and each generation has twelve. In fact, as long as feudal society existed and feudal etiquette existed, the tragedy of women would not end. "Dream of the Red Chamber" describes only a representative fragment of it, and at the same time adopts a closed-loop structure, the beginning of this person's fate, but also the beginning of the fate of the previous generation, but also the beginning of the fate of the next generation, only by overthrowing the feudal society and overthrowing the feudal etiquette can this vicious circle be ended, so the anti-feudal significance of "Dream of the Red Chamber" is presented.
