The real high-end is by no means to hang the brand logo on the body. The law of this fashion circle is not only now, Cao Xueqin, who was more than two hundred years ago, has long written the correct way to open "pay attention to people" in "Dream of the Red Chamber". Miao Yu, a monk who lives in the Grand View Garden, has become the most exquisite aristocratic lady in "Dream of the Red Chamber" with her high personality, good conversation and "hidden and untouched" life use. Where does Miaoyu's "exquisiteness" come from? Recently, Miao Huaiming, a professor at the College of Letters of Nanjing University, published the "Prequel to Miao Yu" written by student Wang Yiduo on his WeChat public account "Ancient Novel Network", which "unveiled" the "mystery of the life" of the noble lady.

Miao Yu is born exquisitely, so she can "tea plum blossom snow"

Wang Yiduo, an undergraduate student at the College of Literature of Nanjing University, in this work titled "Knowing the Cold and Warm Bai Xuan Zen Temple, Feeling Impermanent Miao Yu Entering Jinling", she set up an aristocratic personality for Miao Yu who was "born in the family of eunuchs", and also gave Miao Yu a common name called "Bai Xuan". Bai Xuan's small personality is strange, lonely and does not like to be close to people, or a sick straw soaked in a medicine jar. Because he was born to the Grand Madame, the old man of the Bai family did not have too much restraint on this daughter when he ate and put on, but Bai Xuan's personality was not very pleasing.

Seeing that Bai Xuan's illness was always getting better, Teacher Bai's concubine Lady Qian had a "bad idea":

"If you want me to see it, it would be better to send Sister Xuan to live in the nearest Panxiang Temple for some time, grind your temperament, and save some blessings." I heard the old man in the house say that the children and grandchildren are weak, minor illnesses are continuous, and the substitutes are not useful, most of them are not good for the eight characters, and the elders hinder each other, and they have to go out separately for two years to get better, and if they are serious, they must personally escape into the empty door to get rid of the roots. ”

Because it is the name of cultivation, Miaoyu not only brings hair to practice, but also uses it in her home and wraps it in a nanmu box and sends it to the temple. Although his health suddenly improved, this Gu Su Bai family Miao Yu could never go back. Out of the door, the second grandmother of the family did not have a reason to let Miao Yu go back again. Later, MiaoYu, who brought her hair to practice, was posted by Jia Fu and invited into the house, which led to the story written in "Dream of the Red Chamber".

Wang Yiduo told reporters that Miao Yu is "paying attention to people", which was clearly explained in the first eighty times of "Dream of the Red Chamber". Therefore, the "Prequel to Miao Yu" written by himself is to give a complete origin to "pay attention to people" Miao Yu. "The forty-first time of "Dream of the Red Chamber", 'Li Cui'an Tea Plum Blossom Snow Yi Hong Courtyard Robbed the Mother Locust', many people are estimated to have left a deep impression after reading it. The tea set that Miao Yu took to entertain the people in Jia Province was not bad. Wang Yiduo sorted out Miao Yu's "List of Hospitality Tea Sets":

The official kiln is born to fill the white lid bowl

One has an ear next to it, and the cup is engraved with three characters of "Divide the Melon and The Shell", and then there is a line of small real characters that are "Jin Wang Kai Zhen Play", and there is also a line of small characters "Song Yuanfeng Five Years April Meishan Su Shi Found in the Secret House".

Shaped like a bowl and small, there are also three beaded seal characters, engraved with "point rhinoceros"

Green Jade Bucket

Baoyu called Miaoyu's green and bucket a vulgar instrument, and Miaoyu replied: Is this a vulgar instrument? It's not that I'm talking crazy, but I'm afraid that you may not find such a vulgar instrument in your home. It can be known that these antiques and curiosities are Miaoyu's own collection, and there is not enough family foundation to support Miaoyu's hobby. Wang Yihua said, "In addition, Miao Yu also has superb tea tasting skills, and she can taste the difference between plum blossom snow water and old rainwater as tea, which also confirms this from the level." ”

【The teacher has something to say】

To write "exquisite", you must "eat through" the whole book.

"I made a 'writing list' for the students of 40 characters in the Red Chamber, and 'Miaoyu Renunciation' was one of them." Professor Miao Huaiming of the College of Letters of Nanjing University told reporters that writing a prequel to the characters in the Red Chamber was an assignment he assigned when he gave undergraduates the course "Study of the Dream of the Red Chamber". The personality characteristics of the characters in the prequel should be consistent with the first eighty times, and the clues revealed in the previous eighty times should be used as the basis for writing, and the work should best explain the character and situation of the characters in the first eighty times, and form a seamless connection with them. The narrative means and style are also best consistent with the original work. In addition, students should also write a creative note, analyze the clues and character characteristics left in the first eighty times, and introduce their own creative experience.

This assignment is really difficult to write, students before writing down each character, they must first understand its experience, its personality, but also look at the foreshadowing in the work, the line, fully understand, and then design the plot and characters. "Through the 'Ancient Novel Network' WeChat public account, we have pushed a number of 'prequels', involving characters in the Red Chamber including Ma Daobao, Qingwen, Jia Zhu and so on. Readers also re-read the Red Chamber with us and feel the beauty of the classics. Miao Huaiming said that the prequel of the Red Chamber character also successfully raised the appetite of netizens, and some netizens left a message in his Weibo comment area, saying that they also wanted to come to submit "try it".

Professor Xu Xingwu signed "Dream Before the Red Chamber"

Miao Huaiming plans to work with the students to publish a book called "Dream before the Red Chamber", "I hope to innovate the teaching model and improve the aesthetic perception of students." He told reporters that Xu Xingwu, a professor at the College of Letters of Nanjing University, also wrote many times to express his strong support for "Dream Before the Red Chamber".
