Fun Kan Red Chamber 351: Peony Flower Sign, Ren is ruthless and moving, Gentleman, Tao is ruthless but sentient
Shouyi Hongqunfang opened a night feast, which was bound to be a little bigger to be interesting. Chun Yan suggested that it would be better to invite the treasure girl Lin Girl, which was unanimously approved by everyone. Finally, in addition to Jia Yingchun, Xing Xiuyan and Jia Xichun, everyone in the Grand View Garden came.
It is not surprising that they do not invite Yingchun and Xichun, they are all in the long house Jia Amnesty and the people on the side of the Ningguo Mansion are noisy, and it is not good to break the rules of the night feast, it is better not to invite.
The "occupy the name of the flower" liquor order is an important foreshadowing of the marriage of the daughters, the end of Yingchun and Xing Xiuyan has been determined, Xi chun is destined to become a monk without marriage, and Cao Xueqin does not arrange it to foreshadow the end of the three people.
Moreover, Xue Baoqin, Qingwen, and Fangguan did not have flower signs, the same as Yingchun and so on.
As for Jia Baoyu' lack of flower signs, the name of the flower alludes to the end of his daughter's marriage. Second, the original [sorrow and joy] liquor order already showed his marriage and did not need to be repeated.
Without much gossip, the crowd took their seats and began to play. This time, Xue Baochao was unexpectedly active, and he was the first to reach out to pick up the flower stick.
Xue Baochao was the most anxious to pick up the flower sign, and the author ridiculed her as the oldest and most anxious of the daughters to be married, and also pointed out the Xue family's "urgency" for the marriage of Jin Yuliang.
Bao Chao smiled and said, "I'll catch it first, but I don't know what to catch." Saying, the barrel shook a little, reached out and pulled out a stick, everyone looked, only to see a peony painted on the sign, inscribed with the four words "Yanguan Qunfang", and below it there was a small word engraved a Tang poem, which said: "Ren is ruthless and moving." He also noted: "A toast at the table, this is the crown of the crowd, ordered at will, informal poetry and elegance, and the Tao is to drink wine." ”
When everyone saw it, they all laughed and said, "Coincidentally, you also originally matched the peony flower." With that, everyone had a toast. After Bao Chao had eaten it, he smiled and said, "We will listen to FangGuan singing one." Fang guan had to sing a "when appreciating the flowers" carefully, but Bao Yu just took the sign, and read "Ren is ruthless and moving" in his mouth, listening to this song, watching Fang Guan's silence.
Xue Baochao received the peony flower signature as the "Crown of Qunfang", which means that she has won the "King of flower sticks".
However, the meaning of the flower sign is not necessarily the best, but yu liquor order is the best, everyone should accompany her to have a drink, is to celebrate the "Yanguan Qunfang".
Xue Baochao is amazing in appearance, character and erudition, and coupled with the age of the unmarried daughter, Yan Guanqun is truly deserved.
However, there are two most noteworthy points about the peony flower stick, that is, "peony" and "Ren is ruthless and moving".
Peonies are known as the King of Flowers and are for the crown of the crown. And Jia Baoyu has the name Daidong Flower King, which corresponds to it. It indicates that Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochao will become a couple. Set the tone for the marriage of the "zhanhua name" lord's daughter!
"Ren is ruthless and moving" This Tang poetry classic is from the late Tang Dynasty poet Luo Yin's "Peony Flower" poem:
It seems that there is no other reason for the common east wind, and the high volume of Thero is not victorious.
If the teachings should be poured into the country, Ren is ruthless and moving.
Peony and Jun are close attendants, and Hibiscus avoids fang dust.
Poor Han Ling, after his achievements, failed Tonhua to live up to this body.
"Ren is ruthless and moving" is modified from "Ren is ruthless and moving". It counts as the third revision of the poem in "Dream of the Red Chamber".
The first time was when Lin Daiyu modified "leave the dry lotus to listen to the sound of the rain" to "leave the residual lotus to listen to the sound of the rain".
The second time was when Xiangling said that "Baochao does not produce dust on any day" as "Baochao does not produce dust every day". All are Poems by Li Shangyin.
Don't look at the modification of a word, but it is all cao Xueqin's work in order to get close to the fate of the foreshadowing characters. The word "Ren is ruthless and moving" here, and the word "also" is more tonal than the word "also", which is also changed specifically for Xue Baochao.
"Ren is ruthless and moving" seems to mean "ruthless and moving" in isolation. But combined with "if the teachings should be poured into the country", it is a completely different meaning.
Luo Yin uses anthropomorphic techniques to describe the beauty of peony flowers. If Peony can be sympathetic, she should turn into a beauty who has fallen into the country. But even if it can't satisfy people's delusions, it is still moving and beautiful.
The real meaning of "Ren is ruthless and moving" refers to the fact that Xue Baochao knew that Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu had feelings, and openly intervened in Bao Dai's marriage, and the third party interfered too unsatisfactory.
Her existence was a painful "thorn" for Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu, and all misunderstandings, worries, and wanderings were related to Xue Baochao.
The situation in which the Xue family lives in the Jia family and is bent on plotting the marriage of Jin Yuliang not to leave and destroying Bao Dai's marriage is "Ren is ruthless".
Xue Baochao's helplessness lies in the fact that the golden jade marriage is led by Aunt Xue, Lady Wang and the Wang family behind it, and as a member of the Xue family, she is facing the crisis of the collapse of the Xue family, and she knows too well that the marriage with the Jia family is important to the Xue family, and will cooperate with Aunt Xue in the appropriate struggle. Although he knew that Bao Dai's love was stronger than Jin's, he still made that "ruthless" thorn.
"Also moving" highlights the brilliance of Xue Baochao. Her life not only carried the golden jade marriage, the sentence said that she was "the crystal snow of the high priest in the mountain", which was to praise her as a noble hermit living in the mountains, with a broad mind.
Excellent quality, so that Xue Baochao, although interfering in Bao Dai's marriage, could not cover up her style.
Of course, Cao Xueqin chose Luo Yin's "Peony Flower" poem to allude to Xue Baochao's marriage. Not only is the phrase "Ren is ruthless and moving" important, but also "Peony and Jun are close servants, where the hibiscus avoids the dust" is equally important.
Peony is known as a small peony, but also known as a flower phase. The flowering periods of the two overlap closely, and the peony can be used as a companion for the peony.
Shi Xiangyun was drunk that day, and peony was a metaphor for her.
The former Wen lin daiyu's "Folding Foot Goose" wine order "Sunset and Lone Bird Fly Together", implying that Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochao will support each other until they are old after Jia Baoyu leaves.
Further ahead, Xue Baoqin's "Wing Red Plum Blossom Flower Characters" "Idle court song sills without residual snow, flowing water and empty mountains have sunsets" is also the same meaning.
"Peony and Junwei are close servants" is the third time that Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochao will accompany each other to old age, which is related to the final outcome of Xue Baochao.
The high quality of hibiscus flowers and the richness and prosperity of peony flowers are a moment of light, but also two extremes.
The hibiscus flower represents Lin Daiyu's elegant calligraphy, and the peony flower represents the luxury of Xue Baochao's rich and noble court, putting the reality of the dispute between the marriage of wood and stone and the marriage of gold and jade in front of Jia Baoyu.
However, the peony flower is a spring flower, the hibiscus flower is a summer flower, the peony flowering period is early in the first place, the hibiscus flower has to retreat, which is the end of Dai to marry.
Before Xue Baochao married Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu was forced to leave the Jia family and marry away, in order to "avoid fang dust where Furong".
The whole peony flower sign objectively highlights xue baochao's influence and distress on Bao Dai's marriage, and eventually leads jia baoyu to leave home.
In the marriage relationship, Xue Baochao came out on top, but emotionally it was Lin Daiyu who was preconceived.
"Sighing in the world, the beauty is not enough to believe in the present." Even if it is a case of qi eyebrows, it is difficult to calm down in the end. ”
Xue Baochao's "fly in the ointment" is that she entered Jia Baoyu's heart one step at a time, leaving only the regret that "Ren is ruthless and moving". Jia Baoyu's thought of holding the flower upside down was also empathy for this.
"Ren is ruthless and moving" is not Cao Xueqin's original, it really exemplifies Qin Taixuan's "Nanxiangzi Miao Handwriting Huizhen":
The magic handwriting emblem is true, and the eyes of the water are dotted with lips. It is suspected that it is a past year to spy on Song Yu, the eastern neighbor. Only half of the head of the wall is exposed.
The past has been sour, who remembers the year of Cui Dai. There is something hateful and ruthless. Ren is ruthless and moving.
Qin Guan's poem almost spoke to Bao Daichao's true love entanglement. Xue Baochao was just like the eastern neighbor daughter of "Peacock Flying Southeast", no matter what, he could not erase Lin Daiyu's position in Jia Baoyu's heart.
Xue Baochao's marriage to Jia Baoyu was a [lifelong mistake] of Bao Daichao's three people, causing Jia Baoyu's [sorrow and joy] to talk about [daughter sorrow - repentant husband and wife to find the Marquis], Jia Baoyu left home and left home.
Jia Baoyu is gone, Xue Baochao is "thinking of returning to the wild goose, sitting and listening to the evening anvil (Yi Ju)" at home and waiting for her husband, life is as pale as a flower tree in the garden, and the room is like a "snow cave".
Xue Baochao himself did not like the decoration of "flower powder", and there was not a single flower tree in the garden, but some vines and herbs. On behalf of the Xue family, he attached himself to the Jia family and relied on Xue Baochao to plot a good marriage between Gold and Jade.
Xue Baochao's judgment said that she was "buried in the snow of the golden hairpin", and the hairpin was divided into two strands, and there was only one hairpin. The tragedy of Xue Baochao's lonely life in the future stems from being "oppressed" by his family.
When the Xue family entered Beijing, the draft, the hope of relatives, and the reorganization of the business were all pretexts, and the biggest purpose was to climb the Jia family to find a golden and jade marriage, so that the three families of "Jia Wang Xue" were completely tied.
Xue Baochao seems to have a mother and brother, but like Liu Lanzhi in "Peacock Southeast Flying", no one can rely on him, and he is a "slave" who is bound by the family and shoulders the heavy responsibility of rejuvenation.
Flower trees have roots that can stand up and strengthen themselves. Vines vanilla can not stand on its own only to climb the rock (jade) to seek upward opportunities. It is a portrayal of Xue Baochao's "Ren is ruthless and moving" that he knows that he cannot do.
The most crucial point is that Xue Baochao ordered Fangguan to sing a minor tune of "When Enjoying the Flowers", which is from the story of Lu Sheng's "Huang Liang A Dream" in the "Handan Chronicle". It is directly related to Jia Baoyu's monasticism. So, what is the explanation? To find out what happens next, look at the next breakdown!
