The general impression of the fifth time of "Dream of the Red Chamber" is always as if it is written in an illusion, but in fact, the opening chapter is a general description of Bao Daichao. However, because "Dream of the Red Chamber" is such a household name, I have never eaten pork and seen pigs run, so this general text, readers always seem to have previewed it in advance - yes, Daiyu's smallness and no dust, Baoyu's prostration, Baochao's retinue, even if we have not read this book, we already know. It's not that we want to know in advance, it's that there are too many sources of spoilers from small.

Therefore, even if it is a first reading of this originally very important text about Bao Daichao, there is no freshness of the first reading, and only the natural and the original are left.

In fact, this overview has played a very important role in promoting. After that, when the temperament of the three people is written in detail, there will be a sense of echo. Speaking of which, "Dream of the Red Chamber" is often written in this way.

After mentioning the point, of course, it is time to write elsewhere.

At this time, the other place was the Ningguo Mansion that debuted. The wonderful thing is that this Ning Mansion is exactly what Leng Zixing mentioned earlier. It can also be seen how skillfully the author uses such techniques.

Because the mention point has been passed, there is no need to introduce it more. Therefore, the banquet of Ning Fu is written in an ordinary and natural way.

Speaking of this family banquet in Ning Province, it was the first family banquet in Jia Province, why was it written so sloppily? As if it were just to guide the illusion. However, its other effect is still to make the initial point for the countless family banquets in the following article, so it only needs to be ordered to the end.

After all, this time it is mainly written in the illusion.

It has been commented that this is the program of the whole text, because there are many hints in the illusion of the fate of the main characters.

For the same reason, some researchers believe that this time should actually be supplemented after the basic character shaping is stereotyped.

So, the so-called program is more like a summary? However, this is not a contradiction, just think, which author threw you the outline of the article, not his summary in his own mind?

Intensive reading of the Red Chamber | Fifth (Part 1): Illusion

Qin Keqing's dream led Baoyu into the illusionary realm, and at first glance, he was really surprised. Why Qin Keqing? The nephew and daughter-in-law and the uncle are really embarrassed, even the uncle goes to the nephew's daughter-in-law's bedroom, there are people talking, let alone the dream? However, after looking at the text, the more I can't say it, don't say dream introduction, even dream intercourse... Or that sentence, why Qin Keqing?

Is it because of Qin Keqing's "obscene" word? However, "Qin" is also pronounced "love".

It is said that as soon as this Qin Keqing appeared, the text said that he was the first proud person among Jia Mu's granddaughter-in-law. Now it is not more true, but it was very strange back then, because there is only one in the United Communist Party, where is there a second? Is it that in the near room, whether behind the house or under the porch, they are counted together? However, after reading the whole book, except for Jia Rong's wife, there is really no second granddaughter-in-law.

Second, sometimes I wonder, if Baoyu was resting in the upper room hanging on the Burning Quinoa Diagram at that time, would he still dream into the illusion? Presumably, it will not be, after all, it is already "all things are knowledgeable, and human feelings are articles", what else do you need to do in the illusion?

Therefore, the upper room seemed to be making a last effort, because it was still impossible, so I had to ask the police fairy to personally go out on the horse.

It is said that Qin Keqing's room is both like an immortal palace and an obscene nest, it is really "wanting immortals" on one side and "wanting to die" on the other, and it seems to be between half truth and half illusion. If you are in the room of the "Burning Quinoa Map", let alone dreamless, you will have dreams, and I am afraid that you can only dream of the study and career that Baoyu is disgusted with.

I don't know if it is because of the "Qin" harmonic sound "feeling", the too illusory realm is also the use of The word Qin Guan. Qin Guan characters are too vain, Qin Keqing's house also hangs couplets written by Qin Guan, and they are all surnamed Qin, is it said that "love can be light" and "love is too vain"? The text in "Dream of the Red Chamber" is actually accustomed to using this mysterious mechanism of similar yes and no, and this time this is especially true.

In fact, for the general reader, the so-called too illusory realm, from the feeling point of view, is really a bit "too virtual"! What plaque of "Evil Sea Love Heaven" and the poem of "Wind and Moon Love Debt" are not interested, even the tea of "a thousand reds and one cry", and the wine of "Wan Yan and Sorrow", all nonsense. This time, those who are interested are nothing more than the judgment of the twelve.

Therefore, the sentences of the main and auxiliary volumes and the songs of the twelve plates were carefully read, and the paintings in the album were also carefully studied. After all, if "Dream of the Red Chamber" is viewed as a riddle book, it can greatly improve its readability. And these so-called judgments are equivalent to the hints in the riddle. Who guesses riddles and doesn't like to read hints?

What is even more praiseworthy, this volume also somewhat makes up for some of the unfinished regrets of "Dream of the Red Chamber", for example, we know that we finally married Jiang Yuhan from "can envy you and be blessed, who knows that the prince has no chance", and from "since the birth of lonely trees in two places, causing xiangling souls to return to their hometown" we know that Xiangling eventually died at the hands of Xia Jingui.

What's even better is that it lets you know, but it only lets you know a rough idea, such as how "Xiangjiang River Water Passed Chu Yunfei" died? What kind of mud is "finally trapped in the mud"? Even "crying to Jinling more mournful" is how to cry? How is "buried in the snow" buried? None of them are very clear, they can only be guessed. Therefore, although the fifth time is a relatively unpopular one on the one hand, on the other hand, it is the one that has been turned back and re-watched the most times.

It is said that the appearance of immortals in Chinese literature often belongs to the category of being borrowed, as if "you can't do a play, please ask a bodhisattva". For example, if the fool moves the mountain, what about the infinity of his children and grandchildren? Move to the Year of the Monkey? So involved in the children and grandchildren, the fool still looks foolish. However, as soon as the immortal appeared, he immediately solved this problem. With this solution, the fool was not stupid at once. Another example is "The Evolution of the Fengshen Gods", which is even more so.

There is also another type that is borrowed to explain the people's confusion, such as "Water Margin", why is the mountain thief so powerful that he can fight against the true dragon Tianzi? It turns out that the mountain thief is also a star in the sky. This is the mountain thief who was later incorporated, or what if the rule was overthrown? Then it is only necessary to write another myth, indicating that the mountain thief is the new true dragon Tianzi, and the Song Emperor is just a demon snake in the netherworld.

But this is not the case with "Dream of the Red Chamber". Immortals are not traditional immortals, they are all original. The effect seems to have been said above in the human world.

Sometimes I even wonder if the author regrets that he really can't finish this book, and borrows the fifth time to give you the ending so far? If so, it would be painstaking.

This time, the immortals have another important role, that is, to point out Baoyu's obscenity. Baoyu's obscenity is incomprehensible to the world, and the gods and immortals are always super-intelligent.

Super-intelligent gods can also bring you questions. For example, the text writes that when Baoyu finished reading the "Twelve Books of Jinling" and intended to look at them again, he was covered up by the police fairy goddess and interrupted his train of thought, saying that he was afraid of leaking the immortal machine. This is strange, whether this illusion is intended to be enlightened, or does it not want him to be enlightened?

He showed it to him again, but he didn't let him look closely. I am afraid that he will guess the immortal machine, and blame him for not understanding the world? It's really hard...

Later, Wen Fu took the "Song Manuscript of the Dream of the Red Chamber" to show him, and listened to the song more and more against the lyrics, and sang the Jinling Twelve Zhengchao again, which was not afraid that he guessed thoroughly? After listening to it, I still blame him for "the idiot is still enlightened", what if he is enlightened? Ah, it turned out that Sister Lin was like this! Ah, it turns out that the third sister will be like this in the future! Isn't this another leak of fairy tales? Did he bother with that book? Or maybe I realized it then.

Of course, all of the above is a joke. Reading novels, it is the most inappropriate to be more truthful in such things. If you can guess it, what does that mean? Where else do you go to see the following?

The word "obscenity" is mentioned below, but the word "obscenity" is very much to talk about. It's just that due to the limitation of space, let's wait for the next article to elaborate.
