About the author: Yu Fan (1821~1906), Zi Yinfu, No. QuYuan, Late Quyuan Old Man, Quyuan Shuo, Zhejiang Deqing people. Daoguang thirty years into the soldier. He has successively served as editor and editor of Henan Xuezheng. Engaged in academic research for life, he is a generation of sutra masters. Gong calligraphy, life is not in italics, non-seal is subordinate, especially gong big characters.
Collector Profile: Wu Jishi, Jinren, Zigu Yi, Jingxi Sanren, Jiangsu Yixingren. Medical scientist. He was the president of the Nanjing Chinese Western Society.
Summary: Yu Fan was a famous scribe and educator in the late Qing Dynasty, who was praised by Mr. Chen Yinke as "a generation of Rulin Zongshuo, a man of great knowledge and general knowledge". Yu Fan devoted his life to writing, and his writings covered the scriptures, the zi, the history of the package, and the collection, and was a true sense of the word. Moreover, Yu's influence spread to Japan and Korea, and his scholarly works caused great repercussions after they were disseminated in Japan and Korea, and the Japanese academic community at that time was even more proud of collecting his manuscripts. When the Japanese scholar Shimada Han came to Suzhou in the winter of the thirty-first year of Guangxu to visit Yu Fan and ask him for the manuscripts of the books he had written, Yu Yu ordered his grandson His Majesty Yun to do his best for half a day, and only one volume of essays, poems, rulers, and essay manuscripts were obtained.
According to the manuscripts collected by major public institutions at home and abroad listed in Zhang Yannian's "Transcript of Yu Fan's Writings", there are no manuscripts of other volumes of the "Notes of Youtai Xianguan", so this volume may be the only surviving manuscript of the "Notes of Youtai Xianguan" known at present, which is very rare.
This volume contains thirty-eight notes, a total of more than 12,000 words, the book is on the special red grid manuscript paper of the "Spring In the Hall", the whole text is Yu Fan's handwritten book and personally revised, after comparison and proofreading, it is basically the same as the content of the engraved book, and should be the final version before the book is written. The manuscript preserves the original appearance of additions and deletions of Tu Yi, from which we can glimpse the twist of Yu Fan's conception and the consideration of words and sentences, such as "The Second Daughter of the Wang Clan of Tangxi Town", and the last sentence of the first sentence "Woohoo!" The world's morality is weak, the people's hearts are cold, then the things of ghosts and gods are inherently enough to assist those who are not reached by politics and religion", and later Yu Fan changed the circle of "the decline of the world's way" to "customs and customs", obviously the expression of "the decline of the world's way" is more in line with the author's original purpose of writing this book, perhaps with some concerns, and finally changed it to "customs and customs".
Cover thirty-three years of the Republic of China (1944) collector Wu Guyi ink inscription, this volume records more than 38 anecdotes about women in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places, some heard from relatives and friends, but also personally experienced. For example, when living in Suzhou's Horse Medical Science Lane, his neighbor Pan's wife and mother were poisoned by bacteria. "Notes on right Tai Xian Guan" was composed by the famous scholar Yu Fan in his later years at the end of the Qing Dynasty, with sixteen volumes, in the form of miscellaneous records to record the legends and secular personnel affairs of Zhiwei, as a representative of scholars' novels, which can be called another masterpiece of another note novel in the Qing Dynasty after Ji Yun's "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang".

In 1907, Yu Fan, a military officer of the Late Qing Dynasty Classics Academy, died suddenly. Three thousand menxiu, the teacher's difficult questions echoed faintly in the ears of the Jingshe students, and the legendary story was spread by the people. To the surprise of today's people, two novel periodicals with great influence in the late Qing Dynasty set up special sections to commemorate the unique care of this scholar-type literati for the world's customs and human feelings, and also provided effective proof for future generations to identify the contribution of Yu Fan's novel creation to popular literature.
The title page of the 10th issue of the first volume of "Yue Yue Novel" published the portrait of Dazhao with a picture - the portrait of Mr. Yu Quyuan of Deqing, a great chinese polymath and novelist in modern times. In the fifth issue of "Novel Forest", Yu Quyuan Taishi statue and a short biography, the art editor with a bold and fashionable and interesting attitude, added a "cloud" type mask to the Taishi statue (the cloud-shaped frame with sharp corners at the bottom is also a symbol in the comic illustration to indicate someone's words).
The spirit comes like a cloud, and the chat is leisurely and graceful. Xiao Fumei gossiped endlessly, and talked with Lady Yao again. With the return of a generation of masters to the Right Taishan, the creation of ancient Chinese novels has come to an end with a standard style, and modern novels have entered another realm under the gradual trend of learning from the West and the East.
Strange and strange things
Book for my original book
After the third year of Guangxu (1877), the content of Yu Fan's writings changed, and at a time when the creation of modern literary novels was active, such a master of scripture as Yu Fan was keen on novel creation, and even more effectively promoted the trend of novel creation, which was very progressive among the masters of his generation.
Yu Fan's literary fiction creations, in addition to the "Chun Zai Tang Quanshu", according to other series of books circulated or have a single edition, there are four volumes of "Ear Mail", one volume of "Guangyang Garden Recent", one volume of "Five-Five", twenty volumes of "Hui Rui Compilation", and sixteen volumes of "Notes of Youtai Xianguan". Among them, it is represented by the "Notes of the Right Terrace Sendan".
In the "Notes on the Right Terrace Sendan", "Soliciting Strange News", Yu Fan solicited strange things from the society, saying:
"Fu Wang Ru Lin Zhangren and Gao Zhai Bachelor, each of them did strange and strange things, wrote books for my original book, sent Spring in the grass hall, and helped to make autumn lanterns."
The habit of taking notes is the standard form of study and writing by scholars. "Most of the studious people at that time must keep a notebook for each person" (Liang Qichao). Who let the creator have the pen of the author in his hand, and one of the influences of the development of Pu Xue in the Qing Dynasty on the novel is the infiltration of evidence.
It is not difficult to find that the novels of scholars represented by Yu Fan are mixed with a large number of evidences, and the way of learning is embedded.
In this volume (Youtai Xianguan Notes, vol. 15), for example, Bao Li's personal affair, that is, the "Taiping Guangji Guangyi Ji"; Tan Xiangu's affair, citing Lu Luwang's "Wild Temple Stele"; the change of burial customs, citing "Ritual Rituals and Funeral Dresses", Li Yangbing's "Records of the First Ancestor", "Spring and Autumn Zhuang Second Year"; the killing of the nephew of the woman, the introduction of Yuan Ming's "New Qi Harmony"; the passage of borrowing corpses to return the soul, citing Duan Cheng's "Youyang Miscellaneous Tricks", "Taiping Guangji , Regeneration Department", "Jin Shi Wuxing Zhi", "Zhongyong"; Linping Yi's affair, citing Ji Yun's "Notes" and "Zuo Chuan".
▲ Volume 15 Manuscripts: Examinations appear in the novel
In the "Notes on the Right Terrace Sendan", the contents of the elementary school, the famous objects and documents of the exhortation are repeatedly appeared in the form of notes in the text and the interpretation of the main text.
For example, in the fifteen volumes, the text of the "Excellent People Entering the Point" is annotated: (Tang Cui Lingqin's "Jiaofang Ji" Yun: Whoever wants to play, the advanced song name, the one who uses the ink dot on it is dancing, and the one who does not point is no, which is called the entry point); the "Star Goods Shop" is annotated in the text, and the Star Goods Shop is set up in the city (Star Goods Shop, see Li Ji Weng's "Collection of Assets", which lists the goods and miscellaneous goods, such as the stars); "Leaning Feet" is directly interpreted in the text. The source, characters, and historical facts of the image in the story are identified one by one.
▲ Volume 15 Manuscripts: Guangyun Phonics and Exhortations that appear in novels
Notes on the history of the book are always packed
Recently, only barnyard officials have been educated
Yu Yu after his dismissal coincided with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement. Social agitation and the establishment of a biography for ordinary people have expanded the scope of zhiwei to personnel affairs, resulting in a strong realistic target. The beginning of the fifteen volumes is derived from the real people who interact with Yu Fan's side- Tan Xinzhen (Lisheng) and Xu Qi (Flower Farmer) who remember the matter of vomiting blood and leaving orphans. At the end of the chapter, there is "Yu Shicao Notes Volume 15, Because of the Record". These personnel exchanges are deposited in different forms in Yu Fan's other anthologies. "Spring in the Tang Yang Lian Record" Yu Fan Bang Tan Li Grow Lian Lian "How to explore the flowers, even as a reporter, the most pitiful guest died in western Zhejiang, it is difficult to carry a nine-year-old orphan, entrusted to a good friend of the same year; recalling the small boat, once repaired the same museum ceremony, Judah hope to reunite with Wu Xia, who expected the side of the martial forest, write off the cause of the text", can be called a condensed story. Contrary to the novel, the same thing is the same, and it confirms each other.
▲ Volume XV Manuscript: The opening chapter, that is, recording the personnel around me.
In addition, as in the text, it seems to be inadvertent, but in fact it is specially explained: "Yuju Wuxiama Medical Science Lane, neighboring Pan's wife has a wife", "the nephew of the grandmother Dai Tai's grandson Junbo Maocai", "Xianning Fan Jun, the family of Yu Qinong's Weng Yunong Taishou family", "The eldest son of yu wen's wife Fan, the master of the Gai concubine, Lü Yiren, that is, the grandmother of the daughter-in-law, Yu Wei is also the person who wrote "The Biography of Yu Mother Lü Taiyi", so he knows it in detail", all of which show in the narrative that the people around him are from the truth.
For example, the fifteen-volume "Bao Li Stood Up as a Township Soldier" begins with "Xianfengjian, Guangdong Thieves Trap Zhejiang Shaoxing", and places the skill in the historical background of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom War. This piece of material, when from He Yong. He Yong (何镛), also spelled Guisheng ,, a native of Shanyin, Zhejiang, served as the deputy chief writer of the Declaration for many years. Zeng Yiye was in the Jingjing Jingshe and called Yu Yu a teacher. Yu Fan had published his father Yu Hongzhi's "Essays on Yin Xuexuan" through the series of books of the Declaration Museum, as well as his own two literary novels, "Ear Mail" and "Hui Rui Compilation". It was in the process of writing the preface to the He Yong Chronicle poem "The Chronicle of Robbery and Fire" that Yu Fan learned about the deeds of Bao Li, a villager in Zhuji Bao Village, when the Taiping Army attacked Shaoxing during the Xianfeng period, and said that "the cultivators of the other day are loyal to Zhang Zhongyi, and it is easy to give up this to be a poetic history." ”
The reason why at the beginning of literary creation, the awareness of making up history and the spirit of realistic recording are derived from the in-depth influence of the culture of historical officials seeking truth. The "Notes of the Right Terrace Sendan" says that "the ancient loyal ministers and righteous soldiers, Heng passed on through barnyard novels, and did not have to epitaph the article and then illuminate the four descendants." ”
So at the level of specific narrative operation, how does Yu Fan unify the authenticity and fiction of Zhiwei novels? The reason why it is determined that he is "the terminator of the ancient novel" and that Yu Fan's remarkable achievements in the field of novels are comparable to those of scripture, should be examined from what entry point should be taken to evaluate such an evaluation?
I have no right to weathering
Only one branch of the pen
At the end of the fifteenth volume, Yu Fan quotes his father Yu Hongwei, leaving us with an important and clear revelation:
The second daughter of the yuwen of this matter, the fifteenth volume of the notes of the grass, because the end of the book. Although the matter is unremarkable and seems to be an example of inconsistency, the barnyard official novel has not begun to be a matter of table chapter righteousness. Xian Dafu's "Qin Huai Lie's Female Chapter" Yun: "I have no right to weather, only one branch of the pen." "These things are recorded in the remaining notes, as if they were also intended.
▲ Volume XV Manuscript: The Last Book of Volumes
Yu Fan's "Spring In the Hall Essay" volume Eight Clouds: "Yu wrote the "Notes on the Right Terrace Xianguan", taking "Reading Wei" as the method, without copying the meaning of the "Liaozhai", and adhering to the testament of the first gentleman. ”
Yu Hong gradually believes that "the book "Liaozhai Zhiyi" is very popular among the people, and those who are intoxicated by Yu are especially in the "Five Kinds of Reading Wei Caotang". Gai Pu Liu Xian Cai Ren also, his book has not shed the Tang and Song Dynasty novels, if the "Five Kinds" is designed for the sake of persuasion and punishment, the narrative is simple, the reasoning is thorough, the caution is cut, the initial disdain is to draw the head and draw the horns, and the xuanmiao righteousness, the tongue can be flowered, the instruction group fans, the head can point stones, not left immortals also. (Yin Xuexuan Essays, vol. 2).
▲ Volume 15 Manuscript: "Little Talk", that is, in the novel line, "Qi Harmonious", "New Qi Harmonic", and Ji Wenda's notes are mentioned.
This is the opposition between the author's pen and the talented pen, the jin and the tang, the two novel genres.
Inheriting his father, Yu Fan attached great importance to the style of literary novels, and the preface to the "Notes on the Right Terrace Sendan" showed that the "Notes" were miscellaneous to what they usually saw and heard, and covered "Search for God" and "Shu Yi" and the like.
The adjustment of the narrative angle is consistent with the purpose of the history of faith. Things are better than words, words are better than things, and words are better than words. Trying to confirm the reliability of the story from the rumors, and trying to give the reader a sense of reality, this is the narrative strategy of Yu's ancient novels. The image of Zhi Wei and the folk activities in the novel, under the introduction of the classics, finally appear to be "strange and real, different and reasonable".
▲ Volume 15 Manuscript: Yu Shu was composed for the search for the Spirit Monster,...... People are ignored, people are demons, and there is no need to charm the two, and then you can cast Yu Dingye.
In this way, we can appreciate the true meaning of these evaluations:
Miao Quansun: Mr. Youtai Xianguan's Notes on the Jin Dynasty write about the names of the Song people, exhorting good and punishing evil, and making people feel unaware. The former "Five Kinds of Reading Wei Caotang" and the latter "Sending Niches to the Four Zhi" all have the text of meritorious deeds, which are comparable to those who are not private talents. ”
Lu Xun's "Historical Outline of Chinese Novels": In Guangxu, Deqing Yu Yu composed the sixteen volumes of "Notes on the Right Tai Xianguan", which stops at telling strange stories and does not involve cause and effect.
Zhou Zuoren: Although the "Notes on the Right Terrace Sendan" also has the intention of exhortation, but the attitude is simple, but the direct recording of what is heard, as much as it is bizarre and absurd, is not a stereotype, or a pretense of fables, it is superior to others, and it is not within the reach of The Remaining Sons of Lulu.
Unreasonable but reasonable, the heart is clear and let go.
Where is the love? Love has faded. Hide your own value judgments and emotional orientation between the lines, and let the reader judge the merits of things for themselves. Reverence for the Han Chinese method, the emphasis of events and words, and the flexible and non-revealing brushwork to separate the absurd from the untouchables is a high-level ability that drives the scrolls.
The result is a calm state of wisdom.
In the fifth year of Guangxu (1879), The two wives died of Lady Yao. Yu Fan and his wife Yao Shi had a strong relationship. At this time when "the spirit of consciousness will decline with the day, and the writing will be lost", searching for delirium has become Yu Fan's way of dispatching.
"Yu Wuxia has Qu Garden, that is, there are fifty volumes of "Qu Garden Miscellaneous"; there is Yu Lou on the lake, that is, there are fifty volumes of "Yu Lou Miscellaneous", and there is no book in the Right Tai Xianguan?" Mr. Qu Yuan built a tomb on Youtai Mountain, and he and Youtai Xianguan are a good story, and the "Notes of Youtai Sendan" is a work of "sealing the mountain" in the true sense.
"How can the old man go to the white head, usually obsessed with wishes, it is difficult to pay." The day of the reunion with the Junhua Candle is still in arrears of twenty autumns. ”
