There are many poems in "Dream of the Red Chamber", and the understanding of ancient poetry by recent people is not as good as before. I often look at the text and make some jokes and misunderstandings. For example, the "Langyuan Xianpao" in "Huang JingMei" is said to be chiseled as Daizhu Immortal Grass, which is obviously caused by unfamiliar poetry allusions.
Zhou Chun, a Qing dynasty, once said in the "Commentary on the Dream of the Red Chamber": "There are two indispensable people to watch "Dream of the Red Chamber". Among the two, it is easy to understand the official dialect, and it is particularly difficult to understand the literature and allusions. ”
It means that "Dream of the Red Chamber" uses vernacular language, which was not popular in Beijing at that time, and it was not a literary language, which made it very difficult for literati everywhere to read and understand, just like modern people listening to local dialects, they need to learn the process of comprehension. But this is not the most difficult, the difficulty lies in the understanding of "documentary allusions".
Cao Xueqin's text is accompanied by a large number of poems and historical allusions, as well as plot foreshadowing as important clues, which is very headache-
For example, Long Wen Nai, Nei Xi Jinren, Hao Hao, "Furong Daughter Recitation" and the Jinling Twelve Judgments and "Dream of the Red Chamber" songs, more allusions quoted in the poems... At that time, there was no search and encyclopedia, and it was even more difficult to understand by relying only on the accumulation of the readers themselves. Many people inevitably swallow dates and go to see the flowers.
Returning to the truth, the Langyuan Xianbao and Meiyu Flawless in "The Brow of the False Brow" are allusions. This article will talk about the most controversial "Langyuan Xianpao" to see what kind of flower it refers to.
At the beginning of "Frowning Eyebrows", it is said that "one is the Langyuan Immortal", followed by five "ones", which seem to be two or two opposites, but in fact, six "ones" have nothing to do with each other. Instead, it sets off a theme character, and all the "ones" correspond to Jia Baoyu.
Junji Yakan Honglou believes that "Frowning" is not the love lament of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, but the six "daughters" that Jia Baoyu can't put down the most outside of Jia Baoyu. It is a mistake for "love".
The reason why it is not Bao Dai's love lament is that [lifelong mistake] is the story of Bao Dai Chao's three people. Like the Judgment of the Twelve Nobles of Jinling, [Lifelong Mistake] is also the first Daiyu and then Baochao, explaining the end of Dai's death and marriage.
Since it has been made clear, there is no reason to repeat Bao Dai with "False Eyebrows", not to mention that Lin Daiyu cannot be ranked behind Xue Baochao. She has always been at the top of the list.
The most critical "eyebrow" of "Frowning Eyebrows" is not Lin Daiyu, but from Jia Baoyu's point of view, it is he who is "frowning". It wasn't Lin Daiyu who was shedding tears. It is the feeling of Jia Baoyu, who sent away a daughter when Qunfang withered, and shed tears once.
The song "Frowning" is not complicated, and you will know it when you see it on your own.
Speaking of "Langyuan Xianpao", the ancients would cite allusions when they made poems. For example, when it is said that "lamentable downtime", it is known that it is an allusion to Le Yangzi's wife to persuade her husband, and "Kan Pity Yong Shu Cai" is an allusion to Xie Daoyun Yong Liu Shu.
The "anvil" of "sitting and listening to the evening anvil" and the "anvil" of "hazelnut non-guanguan courtyard anvil" both represent the meaning of the husband's expedition and the wife's bitter waiting at home.
Having said all this, what is the allusion to "Langyuan Xianpao"? It's not a daisy anyway.
First of all, the "Langyuan Xianpao" is divided into two pieces.
Langyuan refers to the Yao pond of the Queen Mother of the West as Langyuan. In the mortal world, it also refers to the royal palace.
In the heavenly Langyuan and the underground Langzhong, the ancients often compared the Langzhong in Shu to the Langyuan. Quoted in a poetry article.
"Xianpao" refers to the immortal flowers that grow in Yaochi or the imperial palace, not all other plants. Therefore, the Daizhu Immortal Grass is neither longer than yaochi, nor is it a fairy flower, and it is not considered.
Secondly, yaochi immortals are planted with peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, plum blossoms and begonia flowers. The Yaochi Immortal Species constantly mentioned in "Dream of the Red Chamber" are basically these kinds, who is the "Langyuan Immortal" in the end?
According to the "classic" search method said by the Qing Dynasty Zhou Chun, the Tang Dynasty Li Shen has a poem, which obviously gives the canon of "Langyuan Xianbao".
Begonias, Tang Dynasty, Li Shen
The good trees by the sea are full of color, and it is known that the immortal mountains have been planted.
QiongRui is in the Middle Wen Lang Yuan, and Zizhi is on the map to see Penglai.
The shallow and deep calyxes were changed all night, and the red ying was announced.
Sending a message to the Spring Garden Hundred Flowers Road, Mo Zheng color pan gold cup.
Qiongrui, Fangcai, and Hongying are all descriptions of begonia flowers. Although peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, and plum blossoms are Yaochi immortal species, they do not have those with Langyuan. All because the connection between Langyuan and Begonia Flowers originates from Yang Guifei's allusion.
According to Song Shi Huihong's record in the "Cold Fasting Night Talk", Emperor Tang Ming ascended the Shenxiang Pavilion, summoned Concubine Taizhen, and when he was drunk, he did not wake up, and ordered Gao Lishi to make the attendants help him. The concubine was drunk with makeup and disheveled sideburns, and could no longer worship. Emperor Ming laughed: "Concubine is drunk, and the straight begonia is not sleeping enough!" ”
Su Shi wrote a poem of "Begonia" based on this:
The east wind is full of sogo, and the incense mist is empty of the moon corridor.
I was afraid of going to sleep late at night, so I burned a high candle to illuminate the red makeup.
Yang Guifei was described as a begonia born in the imperial palace. It also corresponds to The Tang Ming Emperor and Yang Guifei's "old husband and young wife", and then related to another famous poem of Su Shi, "A tree of pear blossoms pressing begonias".
Begonia as a reference to Yang Guifei, Langyuan also has the meaning of the palace. The most important yang guifei is a person from Shuzhong, who is said to have been born in Langzhong.
Therefore, "Langyuan Xianpao" is borrowed from Yang Guifei to describe begonia flowers. Many "begonia" poems in later generations will basically be related to Sichuan and Yang Guifei. It also refers to the story of Emperor Tang Ming's entry into Shu and Yang Guifei's death at Ma Songyi.
For example, Lu You "Shu Place Name Flower Is Good at Ancient and Modern", "Dream Jincheng West". Begonias are as old as ever". Zhou Zizhi "seems to be a thick wine glass, drunk and weak", Zhang Hongfan "The Eastern Emperor went to the west to be too sad"... Similar to "Shuxiang is not far from Chang'an", etc., it is mostly an allusion to Yang Guifei.
Therefore, the "Langyuan Xianpao" is actually a reference to Yang Guifei. And Yang Guifei spoke for "Begonia". Extending Li Sheng's "Begonia" poem, "Langyuan Xianpao" is undoubtedly a begonia flower.
As for who "Huang Jingmei" refers to, who is "Begonia"! Who else is Shi Xiangyun who gave up the "Begonia Flower Stick"? I won't dwell on it.
