Last time, I mentioned that Rongxi Hall is the main room of Jia Zheng's inner hall, which is the "main house" where Mrs. Wang lives.
However, Mrs. Wang usually does not sit and feast in this big house, but only in the three ear rooms to the east of this main room.
Lin Daiyu didn't see her second uncle Jia Zheng or her second uncle's mother, Mrs. Wang, in Rongxi Hall, so she went to the ear room again and saw different furnishings.
☞ Let's talk about the Red Chamber series 159, and use the smallest space to talk about the details in "Dream of Red Mansions".
(The third round) the big kang near the window is covered with scarlet poppers, and the front is set up with a big red money python backrest, a stone blue money python pillow, and an autumn fragrant money python large mattress. On both sides, there is a pair of plum blossom lacquer small tables. On the left is a few Wang Ding spoon incense boxes, and on the right are a few Ru kiln beauties - the goblets are inserted with seasonal flowers, and tea bowls and phlegm boxes and other things......"
Since this room is the daily living place of Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, the furnishings should be paid attention to.
Different from the examples in Rongxi Hall that predict the success or failure of Jiafu, the furnishings of this house should pay special attention to "Wen Wang Ding" and "Ruyao Beauty".
When Jia Yu mentioned Mrs. Xing before, it was said that "taming mules" represented Mrs. Xing, and "concubine Ruyun" represented Jia Yu.
Now it is the turn of Mrs. Jia Zhengwang, "Wen Wang Ding" is the symbol of Jia Zheng, and "Ruyao Beauty" is Mrs. Wang.
As for the furnishing pattern of the "money python", it highlights the hereditary luxury of Rongguo Gong, and a family will never dare to use this money python pattern.
As an aside, the money python is not today's big python, but the "four-clawed dragon python" with a python robe and jade belt.
Let's get back to the point, let's talk about the palindrome Wang Ding.
Wen Wang Ding, or Wen Wang Fang Ding. According to the record of "History of the Song Dynasty and Zhezong Benji", in September of the second year of Yuanfu, Zhong Hujin, the envoy of Guozhou regimental training, presented an ancient Fang Ding, which was the first classic book of King Wen. In the compilation of "Rebuilding Xuanhe Bogutu" by the Huizong Dynasty of the Song Dynasty, Wen Wang Ding ranked first among the Zhou Ding, and called it "strange and lovely, enough to crown the Zhou vessel".
Wenwang Ding is a flat foot square tripod, standing ears, square lips, mouth, abdomen as rectangular, abdominal wall oblique straight, flat bottom, flat foot as a kui shape, the sole of the foot is rolled, the pattern is mainly decorated with animal face pattern, decorated in the abdomen, the central axis of the crest pattern is symmetrical, and the two pairs are relatively distributed in the neck of the tripod in a strip shape. It is named after the inscription of "Lu Gong Composition Wang Zunyi".
King Wen is the King of Wen of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Jia Zheng, whose name is stored in Zhou, inherited Rongguofu as the second son of the second room and became a family member, which fits the "story" of King Wu of Zhou inheriting King Wen of Zhou.
According to the classics, Bo Yikao, the eldest son of King Wen of Zhou, claimed to be unvirtuous, and let his younger brother King Wu Ji Fa become the heir of the Great Zhou. It is reasonable and legal for King Wu to succeed King Wen as his second son.
"Historical Records of the Thirty Families, Guan Cai Family" records: "There are ten Kundi of the same mother, Weifa, Danxian, and the left and right auxiliary Wen kings, so Wen Wang Sheboyi took the test and took Fa as the prince."
Wen Wang Ding in Jia Zhengfang's house is showing his legitimate inheritance status.
But the more you rush to "explain", the more problematic it becomes. Just like King Wu of Zhou replaced his brother as the heir, there was great criticism in the classics of the Han Dynasty.
Whether Wen Wangding foreshadowed the matter of the brother's wall will not be repeated.
