Stealing the golden needle
"Stealing the Golden Needle" is the first appearance of the novel "Dream of Red Mansions". In the eighth chapter of the novel "Dream of Red Mansions", Wang Xifeng was criticized for helping on the side, and Baoyu asked his grandmother Jia's mother to ask Qin Zhong to study in Jiafu's private school, and used the "stealing golden needle method".
According to the fact that Qin Zhong went to Jiafu to read a private school, what does the term "stealing golden needle method" mean by criticizing it? It means that there is no need to elaborate on this matter, and it is best to use the "stealing gold needle method" to interpret it.
Qin Zhong wanted to take advantage of Jiafu, touch the light of Jiafu, and go to Jiafu private school to study, how did it become a "method of stealing golden needles"? This is a bit like Wang Po's "Ten Pieces of Light Meter" in the novel "Water Margin", and like the "very light" mentioned in Zhang Zhupo's novel "Golden Vase Plum", which means: There is really no need to go into details.
The "Golden Needle Stealing Method" is the evolution of the "Golden Needle Darkness Method". In the general commentary of the thirty-sixth chapter of the novel "Dream of Red Mansions", Yan Zhai said: "'The Dream of Qianyunxuan' is the golden needle darkness method. ”
The "Golden Needle Darkness Method" is based on the plot of the author's "Embroidered Mandarin Duck Dream Zhaojiang Yunxuan". This time, Xue Baochai came to Jia Baoyu's house, saw him taking a nap, and the attacker was embroidering the belly pocket of the mandarin duck and lotus for Baoyu. Seeing this, Baochai didn't say much, and then helped the attacker embroider. At this moment, Lin Daiyu broke in and saw it, and he was unhappy.
The author of the Yan Zhai review described the constant contradictions and confrontations between Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, so he said the "golden needle darkness method".
The "Golden Needle Darkness Method" is a traditional artistic technique in the creation of Chinese novels. In the "stealing golden needle method" and "golden needle darkness method", there is the word "golden needle".
What does "golden needle" mean? "Golden needle" is known as "golden needle to save people". Yuan Haowen, a writer in the late years of the Jin Dynasty in the mainland, once said: "Mandarin ducks are embroidered, and from the perspective of teaching, don't treat the golden needle to others." This means that we can give the embroidered mandarin ducks to others to see, and we cannot teach the "golden needle" skill to others. The meaning of "golden needle" is skill.
The "golden needle" here is a metaphor for the know-how of a certain skill. Reading and writing and embroidering mandarin ducks are both artistic creation skills. This technique of artistic creation is known as the "golden needle". So, what does "golden needle darkness" mean?
In the 50th chapter of the novel "Dream of Red Mansions", Yan Zhai once commented: "The darkness of the golden needle". This time, the title is "Lu Xueting Fighting for the Couplet Instant Poem".
The author used his own unique artistic writing technique to write a couplet poem by Xiangyun and Baoqin, which seemed to be far away from the main line of the work and ran away from the theme.
The author wrote about Xiangyun's agility with a thick pen to highlight Baoqin's intelligence, and finally launched Baoyu's marriage. It makes people feel unexpected and reasonable.
Fat Yan Zhai commented that the author wrote Baoqin excellently, and its purpose was all for the introduction of Baoyu's relatives. You must know the intention of this kind of golden needle darkness! In this case, the "golden needle darkness" appears. It can be seen that "Golden Needle Darkness" is a unique artistic technique for novel creation!
The "Golden Needle Darkness Method" is to depict a vivid character storyline, so that readers can read it unconsciously, attentively, and in one breath. It's a twist on the plot, ups and downs, and ingenuity of artistic creation.
In the novel "Dream of Red Mansions", the earliest appearance of the "stealing golden needle method" was in the eighth chapter. And the "Golden Needle Darkness Method" is in the thirty-sixth chapter. "Golden Needle Darkness" is in the fiftieth round.
The reader is curious: why does Fat Yan Zhai use "golden needles" instead of "golden needles"?
A word difference. Is there a difference between "stealing" and "dark", "stealing" and "dark"?
"Stealing" has the meaning of unauthorized use. "Darkness" is a dark conversion.
Let's take a look at the eighth episode of the novel "Dream of Red Mansions". began to write Baoyu and asked Qin Zhong to go to their Jia Mansion to study in a private school.
This matter must be approved by Jia's mother.
Baoyu finds Jia's mother and asks for Jia's mother's permission. king
Wang Xifeng saw it, and said to Jia's mother on the side, "Another day, Qin Zhong will come to meet the old ancestor!" Did Jia Mu agree?
We use the plot of the eighth chapter of the novel "Dream of Red Mansions" to compare the plots of the thirty-sixth and fiftieth chapters, and we can make it clear.
The thirty-sixth episode, "'The Dream of Qianyunxuan' is the Golden Needle Darkness Method," focuses on the artistic techniques of the author's novel creation, and the fiftieth episode, "Lu Xueting's Instant Poems," also focuses on the author's unique artistic techniques for creating novels.
Only the eighth episode of the plot tells a story. Baoyu asked Jia's mother to ask Qin Zhong to study in Jiafu's private school.
This matter is a condition that Baoyu and Qin Zhong have negotiated. As long as Jia Mu nodded, this thing was done. What are the specific conditions? Yan Zhai commented: "There is no need to express red tape, so it is wonderful." Stealing the Golden Needle".
Artistic skills
To sum up, it is very clear what is meant by the "method of stealing gold needles"? This is the artistic language used by Yan Zhai, and the witty words are full of flowers. It not only reveals Jia Baoyu's playful personality, but also reflects the author's unique artistic creation techniques. The substitution of "darkness" with "stealing" strictly distinguishes the different nature of the characters and events, so that the reader can see them at a glance.
