Is "Dream of the Red Chamber" a romance novel? Yes, and neither. Saying that "Dream of the Red Chamber" is a romance novel refers to the textual meaning of "Dream of the Red Chamber", and it is indeed a novel about Bao Daichao's love entanglement. But if you only look at one level, you can't explain the many mysteries of "Dream of the Red Chamber". Why does a romance novel, the protagonist of the novel Lin Daiyu rarely write love poems? With Lin Daiyu's talent, of course, she is very good at writing love poems, and, from the perspective of the needs of the novel plot, love poems can add color to the novel.
Flipping through "Dream of the Red Chamber", Lin Daiyu wrote mostly big poems that felt nostalgic for the seasons and life, and there were also a small number of love poems, three of which were written on the old handkerchief that Baoyu gave her, known as the "Title Pa Three Absolutes".
One
Tears are hanging in the air, and the secret is idle for whom.
The scale is untied, so that people will not be sad.
Second
Throwing beads and rolling jade only steals, the town has no heart to town and idle.
The sleeves on the pillow are difficult to wipe, let him dot and spot.
Third
The color line is difficult to collect the beads on the surface, and the old traces of the Xiangjiang River have been blurred;
There are also thousands of bamboo poles in front of the window, and there are no incense stains?
These three poems write about the pain that Lin Daiyu encountered emotionally, and the whole text is full of teardrops. That kind of sadness infects the reader, making the reader pay attention to the emotions in the poem, but he does not know that the author carries private goods in the poem and hides an anagram, which is the author's usual method of concealing the sky and crossing the sea.
In the second song, the author uses two kinds of puzzle grids - pear blossom grid and split word grid. First of all, the pear blossom grid, mainly using the technique of harmonic sound, the second sentence "zhen ri no heart town day idle", repeated the use of two "town" characters, that is, "heavy town", harmonic "Chongzhen". Speaking of splitting the character grid, the first sentence, throwing beads rolling jade, beads rolling away jade characters, is the word "Zhu". In the third sentence, the sleeve on the pillow is difficult to wipe, imagine the scene of Daiyu's tears, her face is silently weeping against the pillow, and the pillow, face, and sleeve are tears. The sleeve edge of the pillow is replaced by the sleeve of the pillow face, which is exactly "check" and "by". The traditional "check" is the same as the right side of the "face".
Is it a coincidence that a poem hides both "Chongzhen" and "Zhu Youjian"? Definitely not, it was the author's intention. "Dream of the Red Chamber" is a historical novel of "true things hidden", and the author borrows the story of the wind and moon to write a history full of white bones. The history written in "Dream of the Red Chamber" is the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the book uses "the end of the world", "the southeast of the sinking of the earth", "Nuwa patching up the heavens" and so on to call this special event. Understanding the main theme of "Dream of the Red Chamber", we can understand why Daiyu's poems have Zhu Youjian. Because Zhu Youjian was the emperor of the last days, his heavens were broken, but he was only a stone that was "powerless to repair the heavens", and he was a direct experiencer of the change of dynasty.
One of the main literary means of "Dream of the Red Chamber" is innuendo. Lin Daiyu's object of innuendo is Zhu Youjian (Chongzhen). The author designs several clues for innuendo: hanging in the jade belt forest, alluding to Chongzhen's death; Daiyu, a black jade, alluded to the place of Chongzhen's death; Daizhu, which is red, red is vermilion, beads and Zhu harmonic sounds, Daizhu indicates Daiyu's Zhu family identity; Daiyu died at the age of seventeen, Chongzhen died after 17 years of rule; Daiyu's first burial of flowers, carefully calculating the time, occurred on March 19, which was Chongzhen's death day; Chongzhen had eye diseases, loved to cry, and Dai Yu also loved to shed tears and died of tears.
