"Dream of the Red Chamber" is a famous book, also known as "Treasure Book of the Wind and Moon", but people call her more by the name "Dream of the Red Chamber". Compared with "Treasure Book of the Wind and Moon", the name "Dream of the Red Chamber" is more elegant and subtle. The word "wind and moon" refers to the love of men and women in the traditional sense, often with a pejorative meaning. For those readers who like "Dream of the Red Chamber", they probably rarely use this name to call this famous book.
The "Treasure Book of the Wind and Moon" is not only the title of the book, but also related to an object in the book, that is, the mirror that the Taoist priest gave Toh to save his life, and this mirror has the words "Treasure Book of the Wind moon".
Jia Rui is infatuated with Wang Xifeng, and then was tricked to death, in the "Dream of the Red Chamber" seems to be a small episode, not to mention, the four words in the title of the "Wind moon treasure book" seem to be only related to the story of Jia Rui looking in the mirror, but if you want to run through the front and back, you can know that the four words of "Wind Moon Treasure Book" and Bao Yu you are too illusory, Jia Lian plays Xi Feng, Jia Lian and Bao Er's family and many girls, as well as Jia Zhen and several women who have been entangled with her.
In short, although "FengYue Baojian" is not a positive word and has the closest relationship with the story of Jia Rui and Xi Feng, it is an indispensable dark line in the book "Dream of the Red Chamber". The existence of this dark line indicates that the mirror of the "Treasure Book of the Wind and Moon" has another symbolic meaning, that is, a warning effect on the world.
Look at the origin of the mirror that the Taoist priest gave to Jia Rui, "Dream of the Red Chamber": The twelfth time it is written that Jia Rui misses Sister Feng, and when he is seriously ill at home and abroad, and when he is struggling to survive, he hears someone fasting, saying that he can cure the "disease of unjust karma":
The Daoist priest sighed, "Your illness is not a medicine, I have a treasure with you, and when you look at it every day, this life can be saved." After saying this, he took out a mirror from the folds--both sides can illuminate people, and the mirror handle was engraved with the words "Wind and Moon Treasure Book" -- and handed it to Jia Rui: "This thing comes from the Ethereal Spirit Hall of the Illusory Realm, made by the illusion fairy, which specializes in the disease of evil thoughts and delusions, and has the ability to save the life of the world." So take it to the world, and take care of it with those smart and handsome, elegant kings and grandsons. Don't look at the front, only the back of it, it matters, it matters! After three days I will collect it, and the tube will call you well. ”
The Taoist priest said that the function of this mirror was to "cure the disease of evil thoughts and delusions", which was very much in line with Jia Rui's illness - he was sick because of his love for Miss Fengjie.
This Taoist priest had indeed come to save his life. Jia Rui is a person with knowledge, as long as he listens to the words of the police illusion, he should be able to think of the cause of the disease, but unfortunately, although his grandfather is in charge of the Jia Family Academy, he also follows the reading and literacy, but after listening to the repeated warnings of the Taoist, he still can't obey and do it, but he saw the mirror on the opposite side and was frightened, and then went to look at the front, and saw the positive Feng Jie waving at him inside, so he followed it leisurely, and so on several times, and died exhaustively.
A story between Jia Rui and Wang Xifeng seems to be unbearable, but it is a "warning to the world", and the person who died of lust like Jia Rui is Qin Zhong. There are also people who are affected by desire, such as Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Rong and the like.
Although Qin Zhong was good-looking, Jin Yu was defeated on the outside, he was addicted to desire, and like Jia Rui, he could not extricate himself, but also fell deeper and deeper. From the very beginning in Jia's mother's room, taking advantage of the fact that when there was no one and following her master to find Jia Mu to ask for alms, to taking advantage of her sister Qin Keqing's funeral to take advantage of the night private meeting of Zhi'er, making all kinds of ugly situations, and finally causing her father to be detected and punished, she was sick, her father was also sick, and Qin Zhong was also close to Huangquan Road. It was not until his death that he woke up and wanted to do his best, but it was too late.
Qin Zhong's life died on a "pornographic" word, and unlike Jia Rui, the price he paid was even greater. Jia Rui has not yet affected his grandparents, Qin Zhong is killing himself, and indirectly causing his father to be angry to death.
Whether it is Jared's mirror and his experience, or Qin Zhong's experience, it is a warning to the world, especially men, not to indulge in lust and fantasy. At the same time, it is better not to play with women.
Looking closely at Qin Zhong's results, it was even worse than Jia Rui, why?
Jia Rui only intended to infect his sister-in-law, but Qin Zhong was not, and the nun he was contaminated with was doing something in the steamed bun nunnery, and the sin was added to the first. What's more, it was still above the funeral of his sister Qin Keqing.
Although Qin Keqing is not Qin Zhong's biological sister, she is not unfamiliar with her feelings and care for Qin Zhong. Qin Zhong had no reverence for the Gods and Buddhas of Heaven and Earth, the second had no respect and affection for his sister, and the third, the small actions between him and Zhi had been repeated many times, and when it came to Jia Rui, who had never succeeded, he was a repeat offender and difficult to forgive.
Although the name of "Treasure Book of wind and moon" is not good, it is a piece of painstaking heart that the author Cao Xueqin wants to warn the world. The elegant name "Dream of the Red Chamber" is more acceptable, but we, as readers, need to understand the author's painstaking efforts.
