"Dream of the Red Chamber" is the story of whose home it is, and it has been debated endlessly. Junji Yakan Honglou believes that there is no need to argue, and everyone has their own reading comprehension angle. Cao Xueqin set two clues, one alluding to the rise and fall of the dynasty. A hint at the rise and fall of the family.
Among the clues to the rise and fall of the dynasty, Cao Xueqin most clearly borrowed the lessons of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, from the Battle of Jingnan in the Ming Dynasty, to the entry of Jiajing Xiaozong into the Emperor, and then to the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, several changes of power reflected the rise and fall of the world.
There are still important historical allusions such as the change of Xuanwu Gate, the change of Ma Songyi, the release of military power through a cup of wine, the shame of Jing Kang, and Zheng He's voyage to the West, which are mixed in with historical events to warn the world of the essence of the rise and fall of dynasties.
However, the rise and fall of the world is only Cao Xueqin's literati "complaint", which can be regarded as smuggling. What is really important is to use the "rise and fall of the family" to tell the story of the impermanence of the individual's fate.
Cao Xueqin also selected several famous allusions in history as a foreshadowing and foreshadowing. This article will pick up three or four of these stories and talk about the "prototype" of the story of "Dream of the Red Chamber".
First of all, the story of Sanshengshi
The first time "Dream of the Red Chamber" mentions the story of "Three Living Stones", which is counted as the tone of Bao Daichao's entanglement with the three lives of the three lives.
The "Three Stones" canonized Su Shi's "Biography of Monk Yuanze", adapted from the Tang legend "The Legend of monk Yuanze". It is narrated that the famous scholar Li Yuan and the monk Yuanze are good friends, and the two meet in Sichuan, and meet a woman with the surname of a king on the Three Gorges Road, and cannot give birth for a long time.
Yuanze and Li Yuan told the truth, and it turned out that the child in the womb of the woman surnamed Wang was waiting for his reincarnation.
Yuanze and Li Yuan agreed to see each other again at the Tianzhu Temple in Hangzhou after thirteen years, and when he was in the dust, he would become a monk and his friends to continue the frontier. That night, Yuanze passed away, and the woman surnamed Wang gave birth to a son.
The story of Sanshengshi was changed from friendship to love by Cao Xueqin. A few things are set.
First, Bao Daichao (湘) has the fate of three lives and three lifetimes.
Second, the attendant was a monk.
Third, the surnames of Lady Wang and Shi Xiangyun also originate from this.
Fourth, Jia Baoyu will eventually become a monk and return to the divine attendant.
Second, peacocks fly southeast
Jiao Zhongqing's mother did not like her daughter-in-law Liu Lanzhi and forced her son to divorce his wife and marry the "Daughter of the Eastern Neighbor".
After Liu Lanzhi returned to her mother's house, her mother and brother did not care for her, but were anxious to find her in-laws to marry again in order to seek profit.
Madame Wang beat the Mandarin Duck, destroyed the love between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, supported jin Yuliang's marriage, and wrote "Peacock Flying Southeast", and there is also a part of the story of "Phoenix".
Bao Dai love also borrows a little from the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, which can also be seen from Xue Baochao's fluttering butterflies.
Xue Baochao was taken to the Jia family by his mother and brother to plot a golden and jade marriage, "attacked as a vice-president", and the attacker was sold to the Jia family by his parents, which was the essence of Aunt Xue's "selling daughter". The attacking mother and brother want to redeem her and then look for the in-laws to ask for a bride price, which is also the ultimate use of Aunt Xue's daughter, all from "Peacock Southeast Flying".
There is also a paragraph in which Wang Xifeng took over the case of Zhang Jinge's resignation from marriage, which began with the story of Lin Chong in "Water Margin", and the ending rounded the tragedy of the martyrdom of Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi in "Peacock Southeast Flying".
Cao Xueqin used "The Biography of Monk Yuanze" and "Peacock Southeast Flying" to design the general framework of the marriage of Bao Daichao and outline the blueprint of their tragedy. Of course, the story is also mixed with the storylines such as "The Tale of the West Chamber", "Peony Pavilion", and "The Record of The Book of Chao Ju", which are filled with details.
Finally, "A Bouquet of Snow"
Sanshengshi and Peacock Southeast Fly are the blueprints for the story of Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochao. However, the story of the rise and fall of the Jia family, which has a profound impact on them, is foreshadowed by "A Bunch of Snow".
Jia Yuanchun provincial pro-time ordered that the "Grand Feast" was from "A Bunch of Snow", and the fat Yan Zhai commented "A Bunch of Snow" The defeat of the Fu Jia family.
The story of "A Bunch of Snow" is about Mo Huaigu appreciating the framer Tang Qin and introducing him to the powerful minister Yan Shifan. Not wanting Tang Qin to be ungrateful, coveting Mo Huaigu's concubine XueYan, plotting to kill the benefactor, and informing Yan Shifan of Mo Huaigu's heirloom "A Bunch of Snow" jade cup. The two conspired to frame Mo Huaigu for a bunch of snow.
Mo Huaigu was murdered for his crime. The concubine Xueyan avenged her husband and pretended to marry Tang Qin, and committed suicide after killing Tang Qin in the night of the cave flower candle.
Mo Huaigu eventually fell into the snow.
The story of "A Bunch of Snow" in "Dream of the Red Chamber" also has a story of "Shi Duzi Losing a Fan", which is an allusion to the Jia family being secretly calculated and the family being destroyed.
In addition to "A Bunch of Snow", the "Bayi Guan Lantern" performed during the Lantern Festival canonized the "Orphan of Zhao", as well as "Mixed Yuan Box", etc., and set the people who plotted against the Jia family as the emperor's mastermind, and Jia Yucun and other villains were accomplices.
That night, Yuan Chun Province's relatives ordered another "Immortal Edge" from "Handan Dream (Huang Liang's Dream)", which is also a story of experiencing "glory and wealth and being framed by grievances" in the dream.
Lu Sheng's "Huangliang One Dream" feels the prosperity and rise and fall, as a realistic portrayal of the Story of the Jia family, just like the ancient Mo Huai sitting at home, disasters come from heaven. This is the main theme of the rise and fall of "Dream of the Red Chamber".
"All appearances are illusory", which is also the cautionary tale of "Good Song".
The Jia family's home raid end, they themselves have a big problem, the root cause is still the emperor is not tolerated and deliberately framed, set up layers of traps to lure the king into the urn.
After Qin Keqing's death, the "Five Pin Dragon Forbidden Lieutenant" who came to The Ming Palace to sell to Jia Zhen was the key to raiding the family in the future.
At that time, the place where they traded was called "Teasing Bee Xuan". "Bee" is the bee sparrow, one of the four major scams in ancient times. Combined with "A Bunch of Snow", the story is clear.
Cao Xueqin draws on the above three familiar stories, from the story of Bao Daichao's three people to the defeat of the Jia family.
The ending of "Dream of the Red Chamber" is not complicated, if you combine the three stories of "The Legend of monk Yuanze", "Peacock Southeast Flying" and "A Bunch of Snow", you can easily understand.
Of course, the author must have integrated some of his own stories into the restoration of character design and life scenes, which is beyond doubt. Not much more.
