The ending of "Dream of the Red Chamber" has always been the core topic that makes many readers grumpy, according to the expectations of readers, Jia Jia is the HeheGuo Gongfu, from prosperity to decline, and finally the destruction of the family should be the real ending of "Dream of the Red Chamber", because only in this way can it create a climax of a prosperous tragedy.
However, in the last 40 times that Gao Yan continued to write, he actually did the opposite, arranging for Jia Baoyu and Jia Lanke to be high school, and the emperor surrendered his grace to let the Jia family rise again, and this ending was called a dog-tailed sable by many readers. Some readers even said that the ancient tragedies that Cao Xueqin painstakingly wrote down were written back by Gao Hu and became a clichéd "reunion" ending.
So, why did Gao Osprey arrange such an ending? Among them, there is naturally a subjective reason for Gao Yan's limited creative thinking, but there is also an important reason that is ignored by many readers: in the original manuscript of "Dream of the Red Chamber", there was no arrangement for the Jia family to be raided.
Why? Among them, the original fat batch has been revealed, the kings please see the "Dream of the Red Chamber" 45th time "JinLanqi mutual dissecting Jinlan language, wind and rain and rain and sullen wind and rain words", not at that time, Bao Dai reconciled, has become a sister, Bao Chao let the mother-in-law send bird's nest to Dai Yu to nourish his body, during which the mother-in-law mentioned that he was going to gamble tonight for fun:
Dai Yu said, "Go back and talk about bothering." "Ordered her to sit outside and eat tea." The mother-in-law smiled and said, "I don't eat tea anymore, I still have something to do." Dai Yu smiled, "I also know that you are busy." If today is cold and the night is long, it is more and more time to have a night game and gamble twice. The mother-in-law laughed: "Dissatisfied with the girl said, this year I will be very stained, horizontal and vertical every night there are a few people who go to the night, it is even worse to be mistaken; it is better to have a night game, sit more, and relieve the boredom." Today is my head home. Now that the gates are closed, it's time to play. - 45th
Here is a long lipogram that deserves the reader's attention:
A few gossip, describing all the things that happened at night in the Tantan Mansion. Although it is a big garden, and it is autumn and winter nights, is it not lonely? Nowadays, using the old woman's words, it is written that after the people are fixed every night, the lights are brilliant everywhere, the crowds are crowded, above the willows, in the flower alleys, or the lanterns and wines, or the cold night cooking tea, there are still endless people, not only do not see the fall, but also feel better than the daytime prosperity. This is a wonderful view of the mansion, and it must be written out. And then the following text. And take advantage of the snub of the following text.
As one of the few readers who have read the entire text of "Dream of the Red Chamber", He wrote this criticism from the perspective of God, and he compared the current grand situation of slaves in the Grand View Garden with the later scene of the decline of the Grand View Garden, so he called it "the following below".
But the question is, what time period does the "gambling scene" here compare to the Grand View Garden in what time period after that? This point should not be sloppy, it is of great significance for analyzing the ending of "Dream of the Red Chamber".
At this point, Zhang Ailing put forward her own point of view in "Nightmare of the Red Chamber", she believes that the fat criticism here has hinted at the original manuscript content of the Jia family that was not finally copied:
"Fu Xia Hou Wen" is the seventy-third time the gathering gambling incident occurred, lining out the "snub of the later text" is after Bao Yu went out of the garden to "disperse", or after the Jia family accident? Bao Chao and Bao Yu moved out successively, and after Yingchun and Tanchun married, after Daiyu's death, the remaining Li Feng and Xi Chun must also move out. But even if the garden is empty, it still needs more than one person to be on duty at night, and it is still lively at night. The "snub of the following text" can only be after the slave star has dispersed. It can be seen that Rong Province has fallen and still lives at its original address. A large garden, unattended. - "Nightmare of the Red Chamber"
In addition, Zhang Ailing also put forward another argument, that is, in the 23rd time of "Dream of the Red Chamber", Jia Baoyu went to Jia Zhengfang for training, and when he returned, there was a place that was very important:
Just before the door of the piercing hall, "Wonderful! This is where Feng Jie sweeps the snow and collects jade, and there is no chaos at all. Only to see the attacker leaning on the door standing there, when he saw Baoyu return safely, he laughed and asked: "Wait for it to be broken, sad to be broken, so there are words such as "laughing under the pile to ask." "What do you want to do?" - 23rd
That is to say, after 80 times of "Dream of the Red Chamber", there is a plot of Ah Feng sweeping snow and discovering the psychic treasure jade, if according to wang Xifeng's identity as the housekeeper of the state house, how it is necessary to personally sweep the snow, it can be seen that at that time, the Jia family had declined, and there were no slaves, and ah Feng was asked to sweep the floor personally, which showed that the decline of the Jia family was real, but the raid on the family was not a thing.
Therefore, perhaps the fact that the house has not been raided does not meet the reader's reading expectations, but this matter is indeed debatable, because "Dream of the Red Chamber" has been deleted many times, and there is no clear follow-up, we can only explore according to the clues in the book, and it is concluded that there is no outline of the copy of the house in the first draft of "Dream of the Red Chamber", at least Jia Zhao has been retained, which is certain.
