- Preface to The Book of Stones
Today is the seventh of July beggars day, everyone regards this day as Valentine's Day, many men complain endlessly, saying that Valentine's Day is a foreigner's festival, gift-giving, red envelopes and other operations, but also one of the parts of the conspiracy deliberately brewed by merchants, is a cultural invasion.
People who know a little bit of traditional knowledge say that the beggar festival is a festival for girls to pray to Qiao Niangniang, which means to pray to heaven for blessings, to bless themselves with a pair of skillful hands like a weaver girl, with superb knitting skills, and to be a virtuous wife in the future. Some people even say that Tanabata is actually a ghost festival.
"Beggar Song": Qiao Niangniang, Beggar Qiao Lai, flowers bloom under the plane tree. The flowers bloomed, the trees swung, and I welcomed Qiao Niang down. I offered watermelon to Qiao Niang, and Qiao Niang taught me to hinge chrysanthemums. I offered peaches to Qiao Niang, and Qiao Niang taught me to embroider.
In the story of "Dream of the Red Chamber", the Beggar Festival is also mentioned many times, such as Jia Yuanchun Province's personal order of four plays, the second "Beggar Qiao", Gengchen Double Line: The Death of Fu Yuanfei in the Hall of Eternal Life.
For example, Wang Xifeng's daughter is called Sister Qiao and Brother Qiao. Because Wang Xifeng's daughter insisted on getting sick, Grandma Liu said that the children raised by the rich and noble family were too delicate and too honorable, and Wang Xifeng took advantage of the situation to borrow the high life of Liu Xifeng, a poor man, to name her daughter.
Sister Feng said, "This is also reasonable." I remember, he didn't have a name yet, so you gave him a name. One borrows your life; Second, you are the Zhuang family, not afraid of your annoyance, in the end poor, you poor people give a name, only afraid to suppress him. When Grandma Liu heard this, she thought about it for a moment and smiled, "I don't know when he was born?" Sister Feng said, "It's not a good birthday, but it happens to be the seventh day of the first month of July." ”
The officials heard that according to the traditional Chinese customs, the birth year has always referred to the lunar birthday, and the seventh day of July is naturally the Beggar's Day, so Grandma Liu wanted to "attack poison with poison and fire with fire" and named her Qiao Ge'er.
Just as the so-called: "The daughter's tenderness is like water, and the man's enthusiasm is like fire", the "fire" and "poison" in Liu Grandma's mouth are inherited from Wang Xifeng's saying that "the beggar festival is not good", so what is the origin of this beggar festival? What is the conspiracy behind the love story of the cowherd weaver girl?
We know that the character Baoyu of "Dream of the Red Chamber" exists in place of the author's tongue, eyes and nose, and Zhen Baoyu and Jia Baoyu both have a strange temperament of preferring women to men.
He said: "The born man is the spirit of all things, the essence of the mountains and rivers, the sun and the moon, only the daughter, and the bearded man is just some scum and turbid foam." Daughters are flesh and bones made of water, and men are flesh and bones made of mud. When I saw my daughter, I was refreshed; When I saw the man, I felt that the smell was compelling. ”
In the view of Cai Yuanpei and others, the author of "Dream of the Red Chamber" is taking his daughter as a vermilion Han person, a boy as a green Hu person, and a legend of "men descending from women without descending", in order to commend loyal and righteous people, so he takes the boudoir as the holy lord and the sage, and responds to the loyalty with the wind.
He said, "I must have two daughters reading with me, so that I can recognize the words and understand them in my heart, otherwise I will be confused in my own heart." These two words of daughter are extremely noble and extremely pure, and they are even more honorable and infallible than the two treasures of Amitabha Buddha and Yuan Shi Tianzun! You have a foul mouth, you must not make these two words out of the ordinary, it is important. ”
"Daughter" is honorable because the daughter represents the eight virtues of "courtesy, righteousness, honesty, shame, filial piety, and faithfulness", and the so-called "loyal subjects do not do two lords, and martyrs do not change the second husband", which is to remember the "Treasure Book of the Wind and Moon" and the white bones on the opposite side; The man, on the other hand, was a courtier who was seduced by the beauty who beckoned the "Wind and Moon Treasure Book" head-on, and became the leftover king of Liu Xianglian's mouth, that is, those who forgot "etiquette, righteousness, shame, filial piety, and faithfulness".
Jiang Zi has said many times that the play "Beggar Qiao" implicitly shoots "Yang Guifei is ungrateful and throws herself into the arms of Hu Ren An Lushan", which is to write "nonsense", and also said that the four words of "male cultivator and female weaver" commemorating the beggar festival of the cowherd weaver girl are a metaphor for the patriarchal clan seizing power. After all, the Queen Mother is the Queen, the king of the matrilineal clan, and the old cow and the cowherd are the symbols of the patrilineal clan.
In other words, seven is the number of yang, Shaoyang also, July 7, symbolizes That Fuxi seized the royal power of his sister Nuwa, symbolizes that men seized the throne of women, and also symbolizes that After Jin Manchuqing, the author of "Dream of the Red Chamber", took the Jiangshan of Zhu Minghan, this day is of course not good. The death of the Yuan Concubine is the residence of the patrilineal clan subverting the matrilineal clan and the Hu people subverting the Han regime.
The Mystery of Jia Mu: The monkey stands lightly in the treetops, and Jia Zheng is known to be a lychee. Away from the branches, "the tree is upside down and scattered" is also. When the moon is full, the water is overflowing, the ancient moon is sterile, the old yin becomes Shaoyang, Sun Shaozu marries Jia Yingchun, the Ming concubine is out of the Han Palace, the monkey is crowned, and the monkey is the overlord, and the author's irony is clearly revealed.
Of course, as far as the current Tanabata Beggars Festival is concerned, there is nothing wrong with Valentine's Day, marrying a man to dress and eat, and girls receiving red envelopes and gifts are not indispensable. In the same way, the Tanabata Beggars Festival is also a day for girls to strive to improve themselves, work hard, in order to always control their own destiny and leave room for their future!
