Beat Up Baoyu

Dai Yu funeral flowers
Daiyu funeral flowers,
It is the sorrow of the prophet's time,
The compassion of the critics.
ancient civilizations,
Can it be "clean and clean"?
1. Funeral words and stone notes
Flowers and flowers fly all over the sky, and who has pity for the red incense?
Gossamer soft fluttering spring pavilion, falling silk lightly dipped embroidery curtain.
Those who are familiar with "Dream of the Red Chamber" know that this is Lin Daiyu's funeral flower word. At that time, she cried bitterly in front of the flower tomb, and said something like this: Nong is laughing at the flower people, who does he know when he buries Nong? Once the spring is red and old, the flowers fall and the people die.
But, why?
Sentimental, disease-free groaning, gasping for breath the night before?
How come! "Dream of the Red Chamber" is not a romance novel.
In fact, the author told the reason, but only around the bend - Dai Yu was crying and chanting the funeral words, and was feeling sad, but she heard sad voices on the hillside. Her reaction was: Everyone laughs at me for being a bit demented, is there still an idiot who can't do it?
truly. That idiot was None other than Jia Baoyu.
However, it has little to do with love or not.
Yes, this strange book does write about love, or triangular relationships. One is the Langyuan Immortal, one is the Beautiful Jade Flawless, one is the Wood Stone Former Alliance, and the other is the Golden Jade Liangyuan. But, Xue Baochao is crazy? Of course not. Other people, those people, neither.
Idiots, only Brother Bao and Sister Lin.
So the only ones who buried the flowers were the two of them.
Jia Baoyu is born with delusion, and his infatuation comes with itself, just like the aura of some heroic characters. However, the same spiritual stone, Sun Wukong's extraordinary performance is the discovery of the water curtain cave, calling himself the Monkey King, Jia Baoyu's extraordinary but actually idiotic: the daughter is made of flesh and bone made of water, and the man is made of mud. So when he saw the girl, he was refreshed, but when he saw the man, he felt that the smell was compelling.
By worldly standards, isn't that stupid?
The author was still unsatisfied, and wrote a zhen baoyu. Zhen Baoyu is the mirror image of Jia Baoyu, and his stubbornness is almost the same. For example, he said that the word daughter is more honorable than the treasure numbers of Amitabha Buddha and Yuan Shi Tianzun, and that you must first gargle your mouth with clear water and fragrant tea before you can say it; when you read a book, you must have two girls accompanying you to recognize the words, otherwise you will be confused in your heart; you are tyrannical and impetuous outside on weekdays, and when you come home to meet the girls, you are gentle and elegant, just like a new person. Even when you can't get beaten and eaten, as long as the "sister" and "sister" scream, it doesn't hurt.
Oh, what a "stupid" word!
Baoyu's obsession is undoubtedly the author of "Dream of the Red Chamber". This author, the mainstream opinion of the academic community is Cao Xueqin, but unfortunately the voice of doubt is not endless. In fact, this matter may never be conclusive, unless there are new excavated cultural relics as ironclad evidence. Reliable is that Cao Xueqin has been reading for ten years, adding and deleting five times, and asking a must-see:
Full of absurd words, a handful of bitter tears.
All cloud authors are stupid, who understands the taste?
That's enough. Even if there is another original author in this book, Cao Xueqin also understands his thoughts, and even plays his "obsession" more vividly. In short, whether the author is one, two, or many, it is certain that he must be a fool.
A "Red Chamber" can be called a fool's dream.
There is no such work in history. Cao Cao is crazy? Song Jiang is crazy? Is Monkey King crazy? Ximen Qingyi? The idiot man is the number one, unprecedented. What's more, except for Jia Baoyu, almost all the men in the book are lackluster. Even Liu Xianglian, who is still remarkable, has not been exempt from her love and love for cleanliness.
Those women are all wonderful, including poor relatives Liu Grandma, Yahuan Xiaohong, who does not play much, Aunt Zhao who is annoying, and Shanbao, the king of dog fighting and power, all of whom are unforgettable. It can be said that this book is the world of women, and the other men are only supporting roles, except for Jia Baoyu, who thinks that her daughter is clean as water.
Such a world is unique.
Therefore, the "four masterpieces" is ridiculous, and only "Dream of the Red Chamber" can be called great. She is the greatest literary work in Chinese history, there is no two, absolutely unique, and non-idiots can not write. The so-called delusion, that is, to write with the soul, others are just good brains, skilled.
Of course, that's already remarkable, and it's hopeless.
In fact, with a little vision, you can easily distinguish "Dream of the Red Chamber" from other classical Chinese novels, because she has a temperament that is very different from others. This temperament is no harm in calling it poetic. Zhonghua is a country of poetry, and the poetry style has a long history. Unfortunately, in the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, there was often no spirit, and only the law was left. Who would have thought that the "Renaissance" of poetry would be realized by "Dream of the Red Chamber". Although this song should only be in heaven and is absolutely loud, it is still worth celebrating.
The poem is incomprehensible, and "Dream of the Red Chamber" is almost incomprehensible. Only in this way will many readers be fascinated. Perhaps, only "Water Margin" can also stand up to chewing and pondering, because the fate and choices of the characters in the book are intriguing. Unfortunately, the theme of "Water Margin" has no suspense, and the whole book is even more poetic. After all, Shi Nai'an was not stupid, but rather quite sober. This allowed him to create another value, and also the right to have nothing to do with poetry. Indeed, a novel is a novel, and it does not have to be hard to be poetry, just as fools are not necessarily poets. But the true poet is not obsessed.
Foolishness is the key to interpreting "Dream of the Red Chamber".
The keyhole is in the first time, and the author has also left a clue - the stone left behind when Nuwa made up the heavens, a useless thing. This useless thing actually went to the red dust, which in itself is unreasonable. Not being willing to be lonely is unreasonable, and it is even more unreasonable to move the hearts of mortals because of the narration of the monk. I ask you, where did these two clerics come from, and why did they go to the bottom of Qinggeng Peak to talk nonsense? Where did they come from to turn a boulder into a beautiful jade? Also, thirty-six thousand five hundred stones were originally integers, so why did Nuwa have an extra fraction and discard them?
This is not a blindfold, and the stubborn stone must also have a mission.
As we all know, Nüwa has its own symbolic meaning in the Chinese cultural system. She is the great ancestor of our nation and represents the good times of the past. Although the era was clearly idealized, idealization meant criticality. In other words, it is precisely because of dissatisfaction with reality that the past will be glorified. To this end, it is necessary to rebuild the world of Nuwa, even if it is only in the imagination, even if it is just to try him.
We know that this is the Grand View Garden.
There was an apparent justification for the construction of the Grand View Garden, but the real owner, Jia Yuanchun, did not live for a day. Living inside were five girls and Baoyu, plus their widowed sister-in-law, Li Feng, an old farmer in Daoxiang. This is tantamount to setting up a special zone outside of secular society so that the stone can fulfill its mission. Jia Yuanchun, the lady of the house, has no problem seeing the appearance of Nuwa. Therefore, it is only a matter of time before the Grand View Garden is inspected.
In fact, secular society and the existing order have long felt that those born of the jade are not good, especially Jia Zheng. The hypocrite's instincts tell him that, by nature of innocence, delusion is dangerous and hopeless. If you don't nip it in the bud quickly, you will cultivate a gravedigger. That's better than killing.
Therefore, he hit Jia Baoyu hard, eager to beat the only concubine to death, not a momentary impulse to be angry, rather than subconsciously regarding the other party as a mortal enemy. It turns out that the guy with the name consonant "fake canon" doesn't feel good. After all, he is only hypocritical and old-fashioned, but not mentally retarded, especially when it comes to the core values and core interests of that parasite class.
If the name implies that "the fragrance of flowers is also lethal", it is not harmful to regard it as a pornographic spy sent by the existing order, if the existing order has the will. As a vested interest in the patriarchal system, although her interests are pitiful, she also has the consciousness of defending the laws of history in the past. Her dislike of Lin Daiyu, her allegiance to Xue Baochao, and her whistleblowing to Lady Wang were all instinctive. This only Yahuan who had a skin kiss with Baoyu even used his own whereabouts as a chip, about three chapters of the Law, coaxing the idiot to agree: Don't say two or three, that is, two or three hundred, I also rely on.
The result?
Foolishly speaking, rouge still eats, loves to read as usual, and still uses the girl's face wash to make the attackers helpless. This is not surprising. As a character in the book, whether it is a flower attacker or a political master, of course, it is impossible to know where the secret is - Jia Baoyu is actually a fake treasure jade, that is, a real stone.
True stones are obsessive.

Second, the dispute between Bao Dai and Bao Dai
This sister I've seen before.
As soon as Jia Baoyu saw Lin Daiyu, he became demented. If this idiotic remark is acceptable, even quite kind, then the next action is tantamount to detonating a nuclear bomb in Jia Fu - he took off the jade and fell it viciously, frightening everyone to rush up and rush to pick it up. Jia Mu also seemed to have lost his soul, and hurriedly took him in her arms and said: "Evil obstacle!" You are angry, it is easy to beat and scold people, why bother to drop the root of life!
The idiot cried out: There are no sisters and sisters in the family, and it is not interesting. Now that there is a fairy-like sister, it is known that this is not a good thing.
All right! Even if it is not a good thing, why didn't you fall before, and Sister Lin came to fall fiercely? Also, Lin Daiyu was shocked to see him, and thought to herself as if she had seen it somewhere, how familiar her eyes were, and why was this?
In other words, what exactly is the relationship between these two people?
Is it really a "wooden stone former alliance"?
Not necessarily reliable. That's right, the Daizhu Immortal Grass repaid the favor of the god Ying waiter with nectar irrigation, and everyone who repaid him with a lifetime of tears could indeed understand. However, it is suspicious. Will the extraordinary "Dream of the Red Chamber" be so simple? Besides, this is zhen shiyin heard in his dream, who does not know that zhen shiyin is "real thing hidden"?
When they saw each other, it was strange.
There are many people who read "Dream of the Red Chamber" for the first time and don't like Daiyu. What's so cute about this Lin sister? Illness and illness are wreaked havoc, and the little one chokes people to death when he speaks, and he sheds tears at every turn. Yes, the girl is indeed ice clean and talented. But can these things be eaten and lived?
The most unbearable thing is her careful eyes.
Beware of the eyes everywhere. Shortly after the Xue family moved into the Rongguo Mansion, Aunt Xue asked wang Xifeng and the girls to send palace flowers. Everyone else accepted the thanks, only Lin Daiyu asked whether to send herself alone, or whether everyone had a share. When he heard that there were all of them, he sneered and said: I know that others will not pick the rest and will not give it to me. In fact, send others first, just because of the way, the first to get did not pick and choose, is she not suspicious?
However, if you consider who sent the flowers, it is no wonder that Daiyu.
Contrary to Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochao came quietly. Strictly according to the rules of writing, it can be said that she did not even appear. After coming, I just read and played chess with my sisters to do needlework, quiet and unremarkable, and then I got sick again.
In other words, Bao Girl originally had no intention of doing what a "third party".
Lin Daiyu was wary of Dunsheng, and Xue Baochao was completely unaware.
Jia Baoyu was naturally even more muddy. He was just glad that he had first come a fairy-like sister, and now he had a bodhisattva-like sister. My sister was sick, of course, she wanted to visit, but she didn't expect to inadvertently know that Baochao actually had a golden lock. The four words on the golden lock, "Do not abandon, Fang Ling Yong Ji", are really a pair with the words "Don't lose or forget, Xianshou Hengchang" on his jade. It's just that the latter is innate, and the former is man-made.
This crucial difference was not noticed at the time.
Lin Daiyu came. Although it is impossible to know in advance that there will be hints of "golden and jade good fortune" here, she is not sour when she comes-first laughing that she came by accident, then she taunts Baoyu through the hand stove of Yahuan, and when she drinks, she comes to deal with the nosy Aunt Li, as if she is the master of this house.
So it was over, Bao Chao didn't care, and couldn't help but smile and twist a handful on Daiyu's cheek, dao is the mouth of the lady, people hate it, like it is not. However, when bidding farewell, Dai Yu first asked Bao Yu if he could leave, and then personally gave him a bucket hat, and repeatedly looked at it, which was like "declaring sovereignty".
So, what was Xue Baochao's reaction at this moment?
No explanation, maybe not. Even when Wang Xifeng was half joking and openly matching Baoyu and Daiyu, she still followed suit. At that time, Bao Yu and Feng Jie had been under the spell of Ma Daobao and had just woken up. Dai Yu read the Buddha, and Bao Chao laughed and quipped that the Buddha was also too busy, and he still had to take care of the marriage of The Lin girl.
So, this Xue Baochao is actually a person with no heart and no lungs?
Of course not. Jin Ju was humiliated and committed suicide, Lady Wang understood that she had slapped off the face of the ancestor of Jia Fu's "leniency and gentleness", and was in turmoil, but Xue Baochao dialed four or two thousand pounds to defend her innocence - who knows if the yahuan fell into the water on its own? Even if he dies of negative anger, he is just a fool. In fact, this matter is not a mistake, and rewarding more silver is already the love of the master and servant.
Falling into the water on your own? Oh, that's a well, not a lake.
However, Xue Baochao was by no means a cold-blooded animal. Madame Wang could not find new clothes to wrap Jin Jun, and she immediately said that she had just made two new sets, and said that she never cared about any taboos and the like. Seriously speaking, Bao Girl originally had no obligation, and could only say that she had good intentions. What's more, even if this is to atone for Madame Wang's sins, then she must admit that Madame Wang is guilty, right? It's just that she knows the big picture and knows the weight.
In fact, this Miss Qianjin, who brought hot poison from the womb and had to take "cold incense pills" all year round, was not bad, or even cold. If it is said that because Aunt Zhao is Jia Zheng's pillow person, treating Jia Huan kindly can also be explained as a scheming; then she stepped forward to protect Xiangling, who had a troubled fate, secretly helped The Poor Xiuyan, and paid for Shi Xiangyun to make a feast for Shi Xiangyun. Is there a reward?
Besides, she also did it so peacefully and naturally. In particular, the crab feast is almost like a shunshui human feeling. It is invaluable and worthy of recognition to pay attention to such attention everywhere and to carefully take care of the feelings of the weak at all times. No wonder the grinning Shi Xiangyun liked Xue Baochao the most, and almost all the people in Jia Fu were partial to her. Indeed, Bao Chao's eyes were full of people, but Dai Yu only had flowers, and had never even looked at Aunt Zhao squarely.
To regard Xue Baochao as a conspirator is to underestimate "Dream of the Red Chamber".
In fact, the profundity of "Dream of the Red Chamber" lies precisely in Xue Baochao's impeccable and impeccable. She is even a moral model of Confucian ethics, and she is still genuine. Her gentleness and thoughtfulness, low-key frugality, modesty and easy-going, are not pretended, rather than consciously practicing benevolence, righteousness, wisdom and gentleness and frugality. Even deliberately pleasing Jia Mu when ordering a play should be interpreted as abiding by filial piety. You know, if the old lady came forward to celebrate her birthday, how could she just take care of her own happiness? What's more, when the third play was pointed out, it actually took into account Baoyu's love and interest.
Isn't it virtuous to do so?
Of course, it is only secular. The tragedy is also that worldly merit meets innate infatuation. In fact, Baoyu's consideration for people is no less than Baochao' and can be called digging out the heart and lungs. Unfortunately, he is only considerate of girls, plus boys who can be regarded as girls. Bao Yu even hummed angrily and said that if the daughter of the good end married a man and was infected with the smell of a man, she would be more killable than a man.
Also. Water and mud mixed together, isn't it muddy water?
So, if Dai Yu marries Bao Yu, will it be the same?
The conclusion is that it will not. For the fool was not dirt, but stone, but dust. This must be washed with water, and tears must be used. People often can't understand where Lin Daiyu has so many tears, and they don't know that this is the mission of Daizhu Immortal Grass. Yes, she did not come to pay off her debts, but to enlighten herself. Therefore, it is necessary to endlessly make a fool of himself, until Bao Yu drops that thing again.
Therefore, they could not have a marriage at all.
Xue Baochao is actually related to stones. The Garden where she lived was confronted by the great Linglong Mountain Stone, surrounded by all kinds of stones, and there were no houses, no flowers and trees, only foreign grasses. Sharp-eyed scholars have noticed that this means that Xue Baochao is good at hiding her mind, and she is a person who hides her true feelings with a lady's thick shell.
Of course, such a person cannot exchange his heart for his heart, although Baoyu has also been in a daze because of her charming style, and she has embroidered Mandarin ducks around Baoyu. However, in the end, as a masterpiece of gangchang ethics, this girl is just a hand-made golden lock. Locks, can you open the stone? Of course not, let alone gold.
Not to mention, she locked herself up and sealed herself in stone.
Therefore, perhaps there is no Bao Dai dispute at all. Even if there is, it is not their personal business. You know, the stones and the tears of the washed stones are alien, if not heretical, to the existing order. This requires intervention, and only in a secular way. Therefore, if it is not based on the heart of the heart, but with the Ming media marrying as the success or failure criterion, then Lin Daiyu has long been "lost on the starting line".
Hanging in the jade belt forest, buried in the snow of the golden hairpin, there is no suspense.
As a result, it was Wang Xifeng who supported Mu Shiqian.

Ming Taizu's ban on the sea was very severe: the plates were not allowed to enter the sea. Therefore, more than sixty years after Zheng He went to the West, the West began the historical process of geographical discovery and the opportunity to open the ocean century.
After Ao Bai, there was no power to subordinate; after the withdrawal of the domain, there was no land to divide; after Yongzheng, there was no dispute over the throne; after the spread of ding into the mu, there was no rebellion of the hungry people. There were too many questions to be solved in building a unified empire that crossed cultures and ethnic groups, but Kangxi and his successors answered better than all the dynasties. So, is the problem really solved?
After meeting Qianlong, the British diplomat Macartney said this: The Qing Empire is like a luxury warship that has fallen into disrepair, and it has not sunk only by relying on the support of sailors. The people in the first class did not know this, and only one literary work felt its holes. She is the great "Dream of the Red Chamber".
