The twists and turns of the Dream of the Red Chamber ---- start from the couplet of the too illusory realm

The twists and turns of the Dream of the Red Chamber ---- start from the couplet of the too illusory realm

Ji Jiantang 20200720

The first time in the Dream of the Red Chamber, Zhen Shi saw a large stone arch in his dream, which read "Too Illusory Realm", and a couplet on both sides:

True and false when pretending to be true,

There is nowhere to do anything.

This archway couplet was very strange, and the fifth time Jia Baoyu fell asleep, he repeated it again.

Repeat because it is important. The dream of the Red Chamber is like a magic show. The reader will come out as soon as he reads it, and it's all right. If you want to study it after reading it, it is difficult. The Dream of the Red Chamber is anti-emperor, and if it is discovered by the Qing authorities, it will be cut off all over the door. To this end, Cao Xueqin hid her writing intentions deeply in the book. But the Great Qing can be montable to the reader. Otherwise, his ten years of hard work in the dream of the Red Chamber "who (can) understand the taste"? Therefore, he added a couplet to the dream of the too illusory realm to guide the intended reader.

But people don't take this pair seriously. This is also normal. Cao Xueqin could not always put a note here and let the Manchu Qing Yamen arrest him. People don't notice that the couplet has to be turned over to guide:

There is nowhere and there is nothing,

True is true when it is false.

Why?

1, the dream of the Red Chamber said at the beginning that it had "hidden the real thing, so it is called 'Zhen Shiyin'". Therefore, people think that "Zhen" means "true" and "Jia" means "false". Jia Baoyu is a fake Baoyu, and the story of the Dream of the Red Chamber is fake. The couplet also said: "When it is true, it is true and false... ", really not in the book. People were led outside the book to look for it. The Qianlong Emperor believed that the Dream of the Red Chamber was a family affair written about the former chancellor Mingzhu. In modern times, people believe that the Dream of the Red Chamber is an encyclopedia reflecting the decay and decline of feudal society. And all that.

People are being drawn farther and farther away.

2, the Dream of the Red Chamber says that "the real thing has been hidden", which does not mean that "there is no real thing in the book". The "truth" of the Dream of the Red Chamber is hidden in Cao Xueqin's heart, hidden behind the words of the Dream of the Red Chamber. The Dream of the Red Chamber (the first 80 times) "the words seem to be blood"; many of the characters of the Dream of the Red Chamber are carefully portrayed by Cao Xueqin and are all true. I thought that the real thing of the Dream of the Red Chamber was outside the book, and it could not be found in eight hundred years.

In fact, the meaning of the couplet statement is not bad. What is wrong is that Cao Xueqin deliberately faces the false and innocent side outwards to divert people's attention. The two sentences behind the couplet are the guide to solving some of the difficult problems in the book.

Here's an example:

A certain reader wanted to see the Red Chamber, and followed Jia Baoyu into a dream to see the fifth "Jinling Twelve Plates" book. Jia Baoyu "only saw the first page" The first sentence was "incomprehensible". "Puzzled" and did not ask, "look back again" This reader thought that Jia Baoyu was no problem without asking. As everyone knows, this "Jinling Twelve Plates" canonical volume is the first of many books. The first song of the first book is the most important, in which the great secrets are hidden:

Painting: Two dead trees, a jade belt hanging from the wood, and a pile of snow, and a golden hairpin under the snow.

Words: Lamentable virtue, pitiful chanting talent.

The jade belt is hung in the forest, and the golden hairpin is buried in the snow.

Jia Baoyu was a person in the bureau, and at a glance, he knew that this sentence referred to four people. What he "wondered" was how to paint only two? The reader thought that the verdict referred to two people, and the painting was also two, just right, no problem. In fact, he was negligent: the first and second sentences of this judgment had nothing to do with Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochao:

1, "Downtime Virtue" is an allusion to the gule sheep shutdown godfather or the Meng mother stopping the teaching son to read, and is an ancient model of women's morality. The first sentence of the sentence refers to Xue Baochao. Xue Baochao had persuaded Jia Baoyu to study well. But by the 80th time Xue Baochao was still a young girl, why talk about a good wife and mother? Even she persuaded others, but she had read a lot of forbidden books such as the West Chamber, which "women should not read", which was a moral model.

Some people say that this is Cao Xueqin's hint that Xue Baochao will marry Jia Baoyu after 80 times. After marriage, Baoyu became a monk, and she still taught her children to become adults.

This is also not true. If that were the case, there should be no hypocrisy such as Xue Baochao's eavesdropping on forbidden books and "interrogating" Lin Daiyu before 80 times.

2, "Pity the Talents". The 70th time "Shi Xiangyun Even Filled in the Willow Words", Xue Baochao was the first, "Yong Shu is very talented", and he could not be pitied. Referring to Lin Daiyu? The "Tang Duo Ling" she filled out was praised by everyone as "entangled and sad", and the second place was also considered "Yong Shu has talent". If Dai Yu is pitiful, it should mean that she has no father, no mother and is weak and sickly, not talentless.

Since these two sentences have nothing to do with Lin and Xue, they must refer to someone else. But the number of twelve gold noodles in this book is full and cannot be more. Therefore, Baidu's interpretation of this word had to be prevaricating with the happy ending after 80 times.

Now we use the phrase "there is nowhere and there is nothing": the first and second sentences of the sentence must refer to someone, "there is". But nowhere to start is "for nothing". "There is nowhere and there is nothing" tells us that this "nowhere" must be "there". Therefore, we venture to guess:

Sigh stop the de- Li Feng. Mengmu "broke the machine" to educate Mencius. Li Yi lost her husband to educate Jia Lan and has virtue.

Pity Yong Cai - Jia Baoyu. The seventieth time Liu Shu filled in the words, only Jia Baoyu handed over the white scroll, and was "severely punished", pitiful.

Are there any conflicts between the two people referred to in these two sentences and the book?

Li Yi is already in the last ten sentences. Here's just a repetition. The Twelve Nobles of Jinling are still the Twelve Pieces of Jinling.

The tenth sentence of the "Twelve Books of Jinling": "Who is like a pot of orchids (male) in the end?" "This man (Lan) refers to Jia Baoyu." There is no contradiction.

The above answer is just speculation, is there any other supporting evidence?

Yes! There are at least two more:

First, the eighteenth time "Rong GuoFu Returns to the Province to Celebrate the Lantern Festival", the Yuan Concubine "chose the names of the most popular people in several places". The yuan concubine's favorite and personal modification of the inscription to give the name is to put these four people together:

"There is a Phoenix Laiyi" given the name "XiaoxiangGuan" - Lin Daiyu.

"Red Fragrant Green Jade" was changed to "Yi Hong Fast Green", that is, the name "Yi Hong Yuan" - Jia Baoyu.

"蘅芷清芬" was given the name "蘅芜苑" - 薛宝钗.

"Apricot Curtain in Sight" was given the name "Huan Ge Mountain Villa", and later changed to "Daoxiang Village" - Li Feng.

In addition, Jia Zheng inspected the Grand View Garden, the Yuan Concubine patrolled the Grand View Garden, and Liu Grandma entered the Grand View Garden, etc., and the emphasis was on these four places.

Second, the fifty-first time, Xue Xiaomei "composed ten ancient poems and ten hidden folk objects." Its sixth song "Peach Leaf Crossing Nostalgia":

The fading grass flowers reflect the shallow pond, and the peach branches and peach leaves are always separated.

There are many beams in the Six Dynasties, and the small photos are hanging on the wall.

This poem can only guess one mundane object. No one has guessed so far.

There must be a mystery, and there is no way to guess. The guidelines say that there must be "more" where there is nowhere to start:

The fading grass idle flowers reflect the shallow pond --- Daoxiang Village.

Peach branches and peach leaves are separated --- Xiaoxiang Hall. The bamboo branches and leaves of Xiaoxiangguan are always separated.

The Six Dynasties Liang Dong is as many as Xu --- Yihong Courtyard. The palace left behind by the Six Dynasties, with many beams and red. Red -- Yi Hong.

The inscription on the wall of the small photo is --- and there is no specific description of this sentence. The name should look at the inscription on the plaque hanging above the door like a small photograph.

The four favorite places of the Yuan Concubine are three places, and the plaque (wall, pen) is inscribed on the YuanWuYuan.

It turns out that this poem refers to the dwelling place of these four people! --- Li Feng, Lin Daiyu, Jia Baoyu, xue baochao.

But the answer is not "a mundane thing"? Guess again:

The fading grass flowers reflect the shallow pond ---. There are ink pools on the stone platform and carved with decaying grass flowers.

Peach branches and peach leaves are always separated --- pen. Brush shaft made of bamboo. Bamboo branches are always separated from bamboo leaves.

The Six Dynasties Liang Dong is as many as Xu --- ink. The ink shape is short and long, such as Liang Dong, and red, red ink.

The small photo hanging wall is inscribed --- paper. The inscription on the empty plaque is written on paper with a pen (wall).

Mystery bottom: The four treasures of the study room are a common thing. Meet the requirements of Xue Xiaomei.

As can be seen from the above, the first sentence refers to four people. The "truth" of the Dream of the Red Chamber is hidden to the winding! Without guidance, the true meaning of the Red Chamber is really very difficult to understand.

Above, the problem of judgment is solved. But why did Mr. Cao Xueqin go to such great lengths to hide so much and twists and turns?

Connecting the previous places together, we can find:

Sighing stop De--- Li Feng --- fading grass idle flowers reflect the shallow pond --- Yantai.

Jia Baoyu --- Jia Baoyu --- the Six Dynasties Liang Dong was as much as Xu --- red ink.

The jade belt forest hangs --- Lin Daiyu --- peach branches and peach leaves are always separated--- brush.

The golden hairpin snow buried --- Xue Baochao--- and the small photograph hanging wall was inscribed with --- white paper.

These four people are pen and ink paper!?

yes. This is "true when it is false.".

It is really not easy to clarify this problem, we have to start from the whole book of the Dream of the Red Chamber:

First, the author of the Dream of the Red Chamber, Cao Fu, pen name Cao Xueqin. Grandmother Kangxi Nurse. His father, Cao Yin, was a young weaver who served as a weaver in Jiangning for 20 years. Cao Yin died and was succeeded by his son Cao Yin. After his death two years later, Cao Fu was succeeded to the family of his uncle Cao Yin and replaced by Jiangning Weaving. In the fifth year of Yongzheng, Cao Fu was dismissed by Yongzheng and his home was confiscated, and his family was unknown after moving to Beijing.

Second, Cao Fu was the ancestor who wrote novels against the emperor.

The second time in the Dream of the Red Chamber, Jia Baoyu was born with the "colorful crystal" jade in his mouth, which was repeatedly said to be a "stupid stone" in the book. What's so stupid about jade? Not stupid? It turns out that this stupid word is taken apart as three, people, days, worms, worms. Kangxi was kind to the Cao family. Yongzheng copied the Cao family's home, and Yongzheng and Qianlong were two worms. The Dream of the Red Chamber is through a series of "obscenities", cursing and insulting the two emperors. In the book, Qin Keqing and The Raiders are the ghosts of Yongzheng; Wang Xifeng is Qianlong (male and female). Xue Baochao was another clone of Qianlong.

Third, the dream of the Red Chamber is two dreams: Zhen Shiyin's noon dream; Jia Baoyu's and Shi Xiangyun's dream are Zhen Shiyin's dream. Both of these dreams are daydreams--- daytime dreaming--- gibberish, whimsical, not playing cards according to the rules.

The complete book of Dream of the Red Chamber can be divided into four parts:

1, [Zhen Yan] This is the opening statement of the dream, the closest to the "true words".

2, [Jia language] Zhen Shiyin's noon nap is a "false language" to pave the way for entering a positive dream.

3, [village dialect] "stupid words". Zhen Shiyin's dream during his nap, the dream of the dream of the Red Chamber. Shu fa is the Cao family and Jia Baoyu and Kang

The "stupid thing" between Yong and Qian.

4, [Dream Awakening] The sixty-second time, that is, the sixty-second year of Kangxi, the first year of Yongzheng's reign after Kangxi's death, Shi Xiangyun woke up in a dream, the Cao family

The good days are over. The Dream of the Red Chamber comes to an end.

Fourth, about "pen, ink, paper, and stone".

The dream of the Red Chamber is difficult to understand because Cao Xueqin wants to hide the true intention of the "obscenity" Yong and Qian Emperors, and uses writing techniques such as "Sun Wukong Seventy-Two Changes". People have never imagined and never seen such a dazzling way of writing. Without playing cards according to the rules, people naturally cannot peek into the author's original intentions.

【Ink】 Jia Baoyu

Zhen Shiyin (Cao Fu) took a nap at noon, conjured up a Jia Yu Village, and went to Li Cui'an under the pseudonym Miao Yu to hide. Miao Yu also called himself a deformed person, that is, a deformed wat -- riding a wat soo, that is, "white jade for the tang gold to make a horse".

Jia Yucun is Zhen Shi's hidden doppelganger. He sent Lin Daiyu into the Rongguo Mansion on behalf of Cao Fu to be passed on to Cao Yin as a stepson, replaced Cao Yu, entered a dream, and became Jia Baoyu. Therefore, when Jia Baoyu was born, the jade in his mouth represented two identities: Cao Yu (玉) - True Baoyu (Jia Zhu); Cao Fu - False Baoyu (Jia Jie). So, people sometimes see two different gems. The fact that there are two white cranes in Yihong Courtyard is also a hint of this. In the seventy-sixth "Concave Crystal Pavilion Joint Poem", a white crane flew away, that is, Cao Yuan's early death.

The jade of the real treasure jade/false treasure jade is ink, red ink. Writing the Dream of the Red Chamber with the ink grinded out of red ink is like grinding ink with the body, so the book of the Dream of the Red Chamber "seems to be blood". The Dream of the Red Chamber is the brainchild of Cao Xueqin's life.

【Pen】 Lin Daiyu

In order to write the Dream of the Red Chamber wonderfully, there must be male and female love in the book plus poetry as a pair, and Cao Xueqin "conjures up" a Lin Daiyu to replace Jia Baoyu as a pen. At the same time, he conjured up a Lin Daiyu --- Xiangling, showing Cao Fu being bullied by Hu Yu. She and Lin Daiyu are "and TiLian".

"Jade asks for a good price in the poor" --- Lin Daiyu wrote about the Jia family in the boudoir, and she also cried. That is to say, she is a pen. The so-called return of tears is to keep writing and writing. "There is Feng Laiyi (矣)" indicates that Lin Daiyu is a man.

【Paper】Xue Baochao

Xue Baochao is a blank piece of paper. Her residence was as white as a white paper--- hengyuan was desolate.

Xue --- Xue. The fourth sentence of the fourth "Talisman", "In a good year, there is heavy snow, and pearls are like earth and gold like iron." "Good snow--- the sky drifted a piece of Red Mansion Dream manuscript paper." The harvest year --- sealed. Adding a piece of manuscript paper to the cover and sealing (binding) it is the Dream of the Red Chamber. The book Dream of the Red Chamber is the tomb where Yongzheng (Zen Pig Pearl) and Qianlong (Qian Long Golden Dragon) are buried. They were emperors, but in the Dream of the Red Chamber, they became dirt and rotten iron. "The white expanse of the land is really clean" not only refers to the harsh rule of the Manchu Qing, a hundred flowers are exhausted, and a hundred birds are thrown into the forest, but also refers to the manuscript paper (snow) everywhere, freezing to death of two insects.

"Fly when you stay in the middle of the temple" has two meanings: paper, "good wind with strength, send me to Qingyun", paper - Wang Xifeng/ Qianlong's life like a kite flying down to the barren mountains and wilderness; paper in the middle of the combination waiting for Jia Yucun's pen to scribble on the paper.

Xue Baochao is a "snow (paper) wrapper". It was the crest on Wang Xifeng's (Qianlong)'s head, and it was Wang Xifeng's shell. The tip of the plutonium often pops up to poke people.

【Yan】 Li Feng

Li Yi was the wife of Jia Zhu, the eldest son of Jia Zheng of rongguo province. Jia Zhu died early. Ma was the wife of Cao Yin, the eldest son of Cao Yin of the Cao family. Cao Yong died early. Li Yi is an allusion to Cao Yuan's wife Ma Shi. Li Yi's personality is as bold as Li Zicheng, the king of the break. The thirty-ninth time "water walked in the horse shed in the southern courtyard" is to imply that Li Feng (finished) Andfu (palace judge Jia Zhu / Ming Dynasty false lord) is like a king who destroys the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Li Feng's heart in the previous period is like "dead ash of the mallet", like a brick platform, and the ink is constantly folded (ground) and ground on it. Since the grinding is "red ink", the Yantai becomes the "fat stone". Her residence became the "Fat Yan Zhai".

After Li Yi entered the Grand View Garden (dream in his dream), he became active, and proposed himself as the master of the Grand View Garden Poetry Society, calling himself "Daoxiang Old Farmer" --- "pouring incense."

Old Dragon". The author compares Yongzheng to Qin Shi Huang. Qin took apart the three people. Kangxi is spring, three-person day. The incense is He (Yongzheng) climbing on the head of Ri (Kangxi). "Pouring incense" is to pull the "he" down, replace it with wood (Li family), and replace the bottom with a mouth (coffin, put Yongzheng into it), so that the incense becomes an apricot. Therefore, the "Pouring Xiang Village" pulled on the banner of "Apricot Curtain in Sight" and created the opposite of the Great Qing. Therefore, Li Yi ranked first among the four.

Madame Ma/Li Feng is already very old, and jia Baoyu (Cao Yuan/Cao Fu) in the dream is young and handsome, so Zhen Shiyin conjures up a Shi Xiangyun. She is Li Feng's transformation. Therefore, she is like the male arrogance of Yue Fei (Li Zicheng): eating deer (captive) meat. Because she (Shi Xiangyun) and Jia Baoyu (Cao Yong/Cao Fu) were raided (bullied) by Yongzheng (Jin), she and Jia Baoyu both wore Jin Qilin (bullied by Jin), as if they were hanging up during the Cultural Revolution.

"Because of the Qilin Fu BaiShou Double Star" - In the thirty-first time, Shi Xiangyun got Baoyu's Qilin and lost it, implying that although (Fu) later married Jia Baoyu (Cao Yuan), Cao Hao died early, Cao Fu succeeded her, and in her old age (Bai Shou), she met two Qilin (double stars, "twins") in her life.

"The last dozens of times Ruolan admired the qilin in the shooting garden, just this qilin also" - this sentence is difficult to understand, in fact, it has the same meaning as the previous sentence, that is, the two qilins (曹颙曹頫). People don't know that in the dream it is Jia Baoyu alone (Jia Zhu/Jia Jie).

The twenty-sixth time Jia Lan shot the deer, the deer --- captives. The two fawns refer to Yongzheng and Qianlong. Shoot --- food. The --- deer breasts. Shooting garden --- eat deer breasts, referring to the forty-ninth "Fat Powder Xiangwa Cutting Fishy" Shi Xiangyun, Jia Baoyu and other people in Luxue Guangdong roasted deer breasts. Wei Ruolan --- Pseudo Ruolan --- a person like Jia Lan, and the Qilin he admired when he ate roasted deer was the Qilin that Shi Xiangyun picked up in this hui. This sentence tells people that Jia Baoyu is Jia Lan. Eating (shooting) roast deer (虏) breast --- Yue Fei "strong man hungry meal carrot meat", "strong and fierce".

Fifth, the Dream of the Red Chamber is a world-famous work, but the author uses "obscenity" as a means to retaliate against and insult Yongzheng and Qianlong, and the style is low. In the end, the raider married Jiang Yuhan, but still could not escape Jia Baoyu's "pursuit" (Jiang Yuhan = General Yuhan = Jia Baoyu). And Jia Lian is another piece of (black) ink. He is also the second master (?) ）。 He dealt with Wang Xifeng (Qianlong). Therefore, Wang Xifeng (Qianlong) did not have a good result in the end.

Sixth, the book Dream of the Red Chamber is composed of Ma Shi telling the past of the Cao family (Shi Xiangyun), written by Cao Fu, and then added by him/her (fat criticism, etc.). The first is to divert attention, and the other is to guide and inspire the reader.

Dream of the Red Chamber to 80 times, Xiangling changed to Qiuling--- incense is gone. In the autumn, Ryo (bullying) knotted (bundle). Cao Xueqin's writing intention is complete. And dreams always stop abruptly, "in the end" of the unsatisfactory. After --- 80 times, Cao Xueqin will not continue to write.
