The magical "Dream of the Red Chamber", also known as the "Wind Moon Treasure Book", is also like the magical Wind Moon Treasure Book, which actually has two sides, the front of "Jia Yu Village Dialect" and the back of "Zhen Shiyin"; the same amazing thing is that the first person in the text, Baoyu, also has two one-one Zhen and Jia Baoyu.
1. Zhen and Jia Baoyu are the same person
In Zhen and Jia Baoyu, the first eighty texts mainly present Jia Baoyu, while Zhen Baoyu seems to have nothing, but Jia Baoyu has always been "passing on the shadow for the true Baoyu" (the second fat batch).
On the fifty-sixth occasion, when the Zhen family visited the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Baoyu knew for the first time that the Zhen family in Jiangnan, thousands of miles away, actually had a Zhen Baoyu who was similar to his age and had almost the same temperament. After Jia Baoyu fell into a dream, he came to a garden that was the same as the Grand View Garden, and The fat batch pointed out: "Writing the garden can be known." Seeing a few of them in the garden, Jia Baoyu was surprised in his heart, could it be that in addition to the Mandarin Duck, the Raider, and Ping'er, there was such a cadre? Lipogram also pointed out: "Writing people knows. The good thing is that it doesn't say the word 'stronger'. Later, I went to a courtyard similar to Yihong Courtyard and saw Zhen Baoyu.
The sixteenth lipogram pointed out: "In the Book of Stones, there are many texts of the Heart Transmission Divine Society, there is no need to be enlightened, and once you understand it, you will fall into the vulgar set", through the author's description and the hint of the Fat Criticism, it is actually not difficult to "convey the heart to the gods", Zhen and Jia Baoyu are the same person.
The forty-second general batch mentions: "Although there are two names of plutonium and jade, people are one", therefore, the plutonium is actually one, and the twenty-second lipid batch points out: "If Xue and Lin are zhen yu and Jia Yu read books, they will not lose the original purpose of the writer", in fact, it is also implied that Zhen and Jia Baoyu are like the dai dai, "but the person is one".
2. The dream text is one by one, and Jia Baoyu is actually the reason for the existence of the same person
In the first general batch of returns, Li Yanzhai pointed out, "The author Ziyun: Because he had experienced a dream, he hid the real thing, and the book "Stone Record" was also written, so it is called 'Zhen Shi's hidden dream knowledge'. The fifth lipogram also pointed out: "The author of the cover is from the clouds, and what he has experienced is nothing more than a dream in the Red Chamber." In the wedge, the vast masters and the vague real people who are "extraordinary in qi and bones and very different in abundance" appear, and the fat batch points out: "This is the true image, not the illusion also", and the later vast master performs illusion, transforming the stone into a "psychic treasure jade". As soon as the wedge was finished, Zhen Shiyin quickly fell into a dream, and when he met the two immortals in the dream, and was about to take a closer look at the "Psychic Treasure Jade", the monk said that he had reached the illusionary realm, and the fat batch pointed out: "Click the word "illusion" again, and the cloud book has entered the illusionary realm", from then on, what appears in the text is not the "true image" of the vast master and the vague real person "extraordinary in qi and bones, and the abundance of gods is different", but their "illusion" (fat batch) one by one, the leper monk and the lame; at the same time, the stone is also gone, and its "illusion" is one by one "psychic treasure jade".
The eighth time, the text describes that the stone had written down its own illusion and the seal engraved on it, and the lipogram pointed out: "And suddenly made this number of words, and made it true with illusion, and made it illusory with truth." On the same occasion, the text also mentions that the eight characters on the Baochao Jin Yongluo were sent by the leper monk, and the fat critic also pointed out: "It is also a lot of things for the monk to do such a thing in the illusion. ”
On the twenty-fifth occasion, when Jia Fu was in a hurry and had no way to do anything because Jia Baoyu and Feng Jie were dying of the Nightmare Law, in the courtyard of such a deep mansion in Jia Fu, he smelled the faint sound of wooden fish, and heard the voice of the leper monk's cripple, and The fat critic pointed out: "The author is a phantom pen, and the furniture in the house is a phantom ear, can it be heard?" ”
The forty-eighth time Li Yanzhai also pointed out, "A big book, from the beginning is a dream, Bao Yuqing is a dream, Jia Rui is a dream, the Qin family's long strategy is a dream, and the poems of this work are also dreams, and the wind and moon are also all from the dream, so the 'Dream of the Red Chamber' is also." Yu Jin's criticism is also in the dream, especially for the dreamer, specially for this large number. ”
It can be said that from the first time Zhen Shi went into a dream, the text has entered the dream time, so the text is presented in a dream form. One of the twelfth author's doppelgangers, Limp Dao, told Jia Rui that the Fengyue Treasure Book was "made by the Illusory Fairy from the Ethereal Spirit Hall of the Illusory Realm", and The Fat Critic also pointed out: "The original book was empty and illusory, echoing the Dream of the Red Chamber".
It is the author who wants to hide the real thing, so it is not so much zhen shi who hides into the dream, but rather the author who dreams, and the general book is a long literary dream of the author. Usually, what people see and feel when they are awake is real, and dreams are illusions, but dreams are both a reflection of reality and a flow of people's subconscious, another manifestation of real experience and real heart. Therefore, there is also a commonality between truth and illusion, that is, the so-called "why not dream?" Why not? "Illusion in illusion, why not illusion", just like Zhuang Zhou Mengdi, "I don't know that Zhou's dream is a butterfly and a butterfly?" Butterfly Dreams for Weeks and? ”
The dreams of genius, the magical literary magic, let the truth and the illusion communicate, which is the basis for zhen and Jia Baoyu to exist as the same person.
3. What is true and what is illusory?
The twenty-fifth lipogram points out: "To be true with illusion, to be true is to be illusory, and the reader must also be fortunate to see it as such", then, in the text presented in the form of a dream, Zhen and Jia Baoyu, who are actually the same person, what is the truth in the author's dream, and what is the illusion in the author's dream?
The second lipogram pointed out: "There is only one piece of lingyu, and there are two gems, and the emotional nature is the same, just like the meaning of the six ears Wukong", in fact, "psychic treasure jade" is the key to distinguishing the truth and illusion of Zhen and Jia Baoyu who are actually the same person.
"Psychic Treasure Jade" is the "illusion" of the stone, so Jia Baoyu, who was born with a "Psychic Treasure Jade", is only an illusion in the author's magical dream; Zhen Baoyu, who is born without a "Psychic Treasure Jade", is the artistic reproduction of the person who exists in reality in the author's magical dream.
However, in the text", "illusion is true, truth is illusion", Jia Baoyu in the fifty-sixth illusion dreamed of the treasure jade of the Zhen family in Jiangnan, as if Jia Baoyu was real, and Zhen Baoyu seemed to be an illusory dream, that is, what Fat Pi called "illusion as truth, truth as illusion". Similarly, the eighth so-called author stone has written down his own illusion and the seal engraved on it, which can easily make people have an illusion, mistakenly thinking that the "psychic treasure jade" is real and the stone is an illusion, but in fact, the author "arbitrarily plays in the pen and ink" (fat batch), deliberately "making it real with illusion, making it illusory with truth." Therefore, it can be said that Jia Baoyu, who travels through the illusion, is actually just a dream phantom in Zhen Baoyu's dream.
4. The perfect blend of dream and reality
The genius author uses "full of absurd words" to create a magical and dreamlike artistic conception, but what is presented is the realist plot and scene of "all the things that must be done in the near sense, the words that must be said, and so on and so on and so on and so forth" (the sixteenth lipid criticism). Dreams and reality are mixed, but "dreams" are only techniques, and reflecting "reality" is the purpose.
Therefore, although the text is a story performed in the pseudo-language village dialect, "if you write a false language, you know the truth" (the second fat batch), which of course has an element of artistic reproduction of the author's family history.
The author Cao Xueqin once had a very glorious and glorious time in the hundred-year family history, when his grandfather Cao Yin served as a weaver in Jiangning, as a close confidant of Kangxi, received four times in kangxi's six southern tours of jiangnan, dominating the first place, and the scenery was unique for a while, and it was also the peak of the family's century-old glory.
For Baoyu, Li Yanzhai explicitly refers to the author's own "self-admonition", so Baoyu is closely related to the author. The first time about Zhen Shiyin, The Lip Critic pointed out: "True. Later Zhen Baoyu also uses this sound, and the latter does not note", so Zhen Baoyu is the true baoyu. It is not difficult for us to "convey the spirit of the heart" to the fact that the Zhen Baoyu of the Zhen family in Jinling, Jiangnan, which was born without "psychic treasure jade" and was taken over four times by Emperor Taizu (Kangxi) when he imitated Shun, is the artistic reproduction of the real author in the text.
Although Zhen Baoyu appeared vaguely and seemingly in the first eighty times, the second lipogram pointed out: "If you write false, you know the truth", "The treasure jade of the Zhen family is not written in the first half, so it is strongly stated here to illuminate the treasure jade of the Jia family." Whoever writes Jia Baoyu's text is passing on the true baoyu. Therefore, Zhen Baoyu has actually been there all along, because Jia Baoyu has been "passing on the shadow" for him, and many fat critics have pointed out that what happened to Jia Baoyu is what the author and himself have experienced together, and she is still full of emotions about it, which is why.
The text presented in the form of a dream mainly presents the dreamy Jia Baoyu, but through Jia Baoyu can know the real Zhen Baoyu. Therefore, although Jia Baoyu is a person in the illusion, he is a mixture of dream and reality; although the text is presented in a dream form, it is a perfect fusion of reality and dream.
5. Other evidence of the fusion of reality and fantasy
In the thirty-eighth time, The Fat Critic pointed out: "Guan Shi Xiangyun composed begonia poems, as if you see his delicate state. It is a reality, not a writer who fabricates it. Therefore, Shi Xiangyun has a life archetype, a real person around Cao Xueqin, but she is also endowed with poems such as Jia Baoyu and Chao Dai, sad spring and autumn, and is also a "dream person"; Musk Yue also has a life archetype, and the twentieth lipogram points out: "Musk Yue is idle, making Yu sour nose, which is the so-called wound to the scene." Ding Haixia, deformity. Thus, after the author's death, the prototype of Musk Moon is still there, and she is also a character that cannot be ignored in the feast of genius literary dreams, which are examples of the text being a mixture of reality and dreams.
Therefore, we should understand that in the text presented in the form of dreams, Jia Baoyu and Chao Dai are actually just phantoms of dreams; Zhen Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun are a kind of presentation of real existence in dreams.
