The Grand View Garden brings together many beautiful women, which is the paradise of the author's heart and the author's many spiritual aspirations. Every garden in the Grand View Garden has also been given a deep meaning by Cao Gong.
From the location of the yard, the building, the furnishings, the plants planted, etc., all convey a certain meaning, symbolizing their respective owners.
Plants are the most intuitive, such as the begonias of Yihong Courtyard, the bamboo of Xiaoxiangguan, the vines of Shuwuyuan, and the sycamores of Qiu Shuangzhai.
Begonia flowers bloom in bloom, and have the reputation of "gods among flowers". However, it symbolizes the parting in love, symbolizes deep thoughts, and is called "interpretation flower".
As one of the four gentlemen, bamboo has a lofty status in traditional Chinese culture, and it is not negotiable how many literati and scholars have loved it throughout the dynasties. It is full of vitality through winter, with the meaning of humble valley, clean and steep, elegant and indifferent, and unyielding.
The vine is good at climbing, has no trunk, radiates everywhere, and is intertwined. It has great adaptability, but unfortunately it does not have a good cultural meaning. Its symbolic meaning is to cling.
However, the above is not the focus, today we come to talk about the sycamore, talk about the autumn cool fast of the spring.
The sycamore tree is planted in Qiu Shuangzhai and this small detail appears many times in the book.
In the flower notes of Tanchun, there is a sentence that "hovers under the tung sills". When Dai Yu composed begonia poems, she "either stroked the sycamore or looked at the autumn colors." Jia Mu took everyone to visit the Grand View Garden, and when she arrived here, she specifically mentioned that "the sycamore under the eaves of the back porch is also good."
Sycamore has a twofold meaning. A representative of wisdom, the so-called one leaf falling and the world in autumn, is said to be a sycamore.
The second is to symbolize honor. The sycamore is tall and tall, and it is said to be a tree inhabited by a phoenix, and in the Book of Poetry, there is "The phoenix sings, yu pigaogang." Sycamore is born, and the sun rises in the air. ”
These two meanings are very cleverly fitted to Tanchun.
Tan Chuncai is self-shrewd and self-exalted, she is a woman with a big pattern and a big atmosphere. She herself said, "I am a man, I can go out, I will leave early, set up a career, then I have a reason." ”
Baoyu and Daiyu have pure truth, goodness and beauty in their personalities, but they are only suitable for the paradise, not for the turbid world. Unlike Tanchun, she is active in joining the WTO, but at the same time she does not lose her personality and integrity.
Tanchun is full of ideals, highly knowledgeable, open-minded and capable. Among the many characters in the Dream of the Red Chamber, she is the wisest, bravest and most responsible. What is particularly rare is that she has the great heart of a big husband.
The intellectuals of ancient China essentially believed in the culture of WTO accession, but each person cultivated differently. Tanchun represents those who have joined the world at the best, just like Fan Zhongyan's kind of "worries and worries before the world, and happiness after the world."
What Tanchun did was a magnificent stroke.
Qiu Shuangzhai invited the Begonia Society to create a spiritual home for the idle people of the Grand View Garden.
Don't underestimate this cultural group, it instantly enhances the connotation value of the Grand View Garden. Let everyone have a spiritual communication channel, let the years become so rich and interesting, let all kinds of unhappy undercurrents disappear in poetic romance.
It can be said that the beauty and desolation of the Daguanyuan years are based on the rise and fall of the Begonia Society.
When others are trapped by love, she thinks about the future and fate of the entire family.
When Bao Yu couldn't even figure out the silver, Tanchun, who was younger than him, had already deeply understood the way of survival of different families, and put forward a reform plan according to local conditions, intending to promote the advantages and eliminate the disadvantages, turn the tide, and change the decadence of the family.
When the ignorant and stubborn conservative faction stirred up trouble, she stepped forward and did not hesitate to offend Madame Wang and Madame Xing, slapped Wang Shanbao's family, cursed these powerful classes, and tore off their masks of hypocrisy.
When the Xue family and Madame Wang were in cahoots with each other and had been spying on Jia Fu for a long time, and jia fu dared to be angry and dare not speak up, only Tanchun dared to publicly express his contempt: "If someone else picks it up, it is better for me to pick it up first." Relatives are good, and there is no need to live in death. ”
Therefore, Tanchun is really like a plane tree, with a beautiful tree, a wide canopy, a solid trunk, and can brave the wind and rain to shade everyone.
The autumn shuangzhai of exploring spring is similar to the imagery of the plane tree.
Autumn is the season of maturity, and only people of great wisdom will like autumn. In the minds of most people, autumn is desolate, but people with a big pattern will "since ancient times, autumn is sad and lonely, and I say that autumn is better than spring." ”
A "cool" word reflects the mind of exploring spring. Autumn cool, sweep away the autumn sun.
Look at the layout of Qiu Shuangzhai again:
[TanChun Su is happy and broad, these three rooms have not been separated.] There is a large case of pear marble in the local area, on which there are various celebrity Legal Posters, and dozens of square treasure stones, various color pen holders, and pens inserted in the pen sea like a forest.
On that side was a large kiln flower sac, filled with a bag of white chrysanthemums with crystal balls. On the west wall hangs a large meter Xiangyang "Smoke and Rain Map", and on the left and right hangs a couplet, which is Yan Lugong's inkblot, and its word cloud: Yanxia Idle Bone Grid, Quan Shiye Career. 】
Look at these words: broad, big case, woods, big, big, big, full of bags, ten square treasures........
A great atmosphere of washing in the early autumn, there is also a heroic self-confidence with millions of heroes. The broad autumn shuangzhai is a portrayal of the clear atmosphere of spring exploration.
The thirty-seventh autumn shuangzhai even knotted begonia society, which also happened to occur in autumn.
At the beginning of the flower note of TanChun, it is written like this: "Di Tan Zhen Feng Second Brother Wen Ji: On the eve of the new Ji, the moon is like a wash, because of the rare scenery, the patience is lying down, the time leak has turned three times, and it is still hovering under the tong sill.............
Autumn is as cool as water, the moon is empty, in the quiet night, the owner of Qiu Shuangzhai can't bear to sleep, wandering in the shadow of the sycamore. Looking up at the bright moon, my heart is clear, what a beautiful picture!
The Begonia Poetry Society is the spiritual symbol of the Grand View Garden, and since then, the storyline has also entered a period of quiet.
Xing'er once said that Tanchun is a phoenix in the nest of the old dove, which alludes to the meaning of the noble plane tree.
Readers already know that Tanchun will eventually marry far away. Her flower sign clearly reads" "Whoever gets this signature will get a noble son-in-law", presumably the person who married Tanchun will never be bad.
And with the talent of exploring spring, no matter where you marry, you will certainly not live badly.
Jia Fu, whose mansion will fall, is not enough to support Tanchun's noble son-in-law, and the author will marry her to a foreigner.
Cao Xueqin still loves to explore spring after all!
