Jia Yuanchun was the eldest lady of Jia Fu, and later was sent to the palace to do female history, and she walked on thin ice in the deep palace for twenty years, and when she returned to her mother's house, she was already a noble concubine above ten thousand people under one person.
When Jia Yuanchun was provincial, he once ordered four plays, and in the dream of the Red Chamber where the grass snake gray line was thousands of miles away, these four plays had an unexpected deep meaning because of the existence of the lipid Yan Zhai criticism.
The order of these four plays is: "The Feast", "Beggar", "Immortal Edge" and "Leaving the Soul", they are from "A Bunch of Snow", "Hall of Eternal Life", "Handan Dream" and "Peony Pavilion", in fact, even if there is no fat batch, if we are familiar with the story of literature and history, it is easy to guess the answer.
The answer given by Li Pi is: the defeat of the Fu Jia family in "The Grand Feast", the death of Fu Yuanchun in "Beggar Qiao", the death of Fu Zhen Baoyu in "Immortal Edge", and the death of Fu Daiyu in "Leaving the Soul". Let's analyze one by one why this is the case.
The grand banquet, as the name suggests, is an allusion to the extravagance of Jia Province, rich and glorious, Yuan Chun Province when the pro-family saw the mother's family so pompous, it was too luxurious, Qin Keqing died, Jia Zhen was as wanton and luxurious, the original text also mentioned many times the Jia Fu luxury banquet, such as the Lantern Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, Jia Mu's birthday, etc., but the Jia Fu of this grand feast is only a flash in the pan after all, the prosperity and honor of the descendants of the Jia Fu, the failure of the pit family, in fact, has long hinted at the fall of the Jia Fu.
According to the story of a bunch of snow, Jia Fu may eventually be implicated or framed for something, resulting in the defeat of the house raided.
The beggar in the Hall of Eternal Life tells the story of Yang Yuhuan and Emperor Tang Ming, which is obviously an allusion to Jia Yuanchun's encounter in the palace. We all know the fate of Yang Yuhuan, so Jia Yuanchun's end can be imagined.
Although the original text does not write about the death of Yuan Chun, Cao Gong has foreshadowed many times, such as the old concubine who died of illness in the palace, which actually implies the death of Yuan Chun, and the eunuchs in the palace openly came to Jia Mansion to knock out bamboo, which is also a hint of Yuan Chun's loss of power. All indications were that Yuan Chun would soon die violently in the palace.
The life and death of Yuan Chun and the rise and fall of Jia Fu can be said to be a relationship of interdependence between lips and teeth, and once Yuan Chun loses power, it will inevitably endanger the relationship between Jia Fu in the DPRK and China, and the fall of Jia Fu will also affect Yuan Chun's situation in the palace.
The name Xianyuan makes it easy to think of the too illusory realm, think of the wooden stone former alliance between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, think of the stubborn stone that transforms into a psychic treasure jade, and a catastrophe in the earthly world.
This drama ambushes Zhen Baoyu to send jade, and there has been controversy about its interpretation, and I privately think that the real plot after eighty times may be like this: Jia Baoyu's psychic treasure jade was accidentally lost, and it could not be found all over the house, but later it was Zhen Baoyu, who had never met, who sent the psychic treasure jade.
The loss of the psychic jade, perhaps Cao Gong's unexpected writing technique, was not stolen by someone in Jia Province, but the treasure jade was lost in a dream when he slept, and when he woke up, he found that the psychic jade placed under the pillow was indeed gone.
In the first eighty times, Zhen Jia Baoyu only saw it once in his dreams, and after eighty times, the two of them may also have a fate in the earthly world, and this side of the fate is that Zhen Baoyu came to send jade, and after that, Jia Baoyu abandoned his wife and abandoned his wife, gave up his hand on the cliff, and became a monk.
"Handan Dream" tells the story of Lü Dongbin's fandu Lu sheng to heaven, instead of He Xiangu's heavenly gate sweeping flowers, which does not sound like the predecessor of Baoyu, the original service of the Divine Ying waiter of the Chixia Palace, and later because of the occasional fiery heart, so the next mortal robbery?
Cao Gong is equivalent to directly flipping this story over, one is the dream of heaven, mortals do immortals, one is the dream of entering the earth, immortals become mortals, and this is all a dream of Huang Liang.
In the last of the four plays, leaving the soul, you can know just by listening to the name, which is written as the story of the destruction of the Jia family. Leaving the soul of Dai Yu's death, now in the story after eighty times, there is a continuous bitter soul to leave the hated heaven, and I think it is also the inspiration that I have obtained from this.
"Peony Pavilion" twenty out of "Trouble" to write about the death of Du Liniang, after thinking about eighty times, Cao Gong also has a detailed plot to write about the death of Daiyu, Du Liniang died because of love, Dai Yu died of tears, but also because of love.
As for how Dai Yu finally died, whether it was because Bao Yu and Bao Chao were married and stimulated, or because he learned that Bao Yu was trapped in the prison temple, worried about illness, or some other reason, in short, Dai Yu's death must have a lot to do with Bao Yu.
Yuan Chun Province pro-occurred in the eighteenth time of the Dream of the Red Chamber, at this time Jia Province, because of yuan chun concubine, ushered in its last glory, as Qin Keqing of Wang Xifeng said, this is just a momentary prosperity, a momentary joy, hidden behind the prosperity and bustle, is the bottomless darkness and sadness.
Therefore, Cao Gong writes cold in hot places, sadness when it is lively, discrete when gathering, and mourning when it is in full swing. Tasting the foreshadowing of the four plays, whether it is the defeat of the Jia family or the death of Yuan Chun, whether It is Zhen Baoyu sending jade or the death of Daiyu, the piles and piles point to the fall and death, which shows that this is inevitable.
Why did Cao Gong have to pour cold water on such a festive day as the family in Yuanchun Province? This is probably where the Dream of the Red Chamber is different, just like Houwen Jiamu took people to the Qingxu Temple to fight, about the world has never seen such a big family as Jia Fu traveling in a big way, but the three plays that can be picked up in front of the statue of the Qingxu Temple once again hint at the inevitable decline of Jia Fu.
Therefore, the more lively and prosperous the Dream of the Red Chamber, the more there is sadness lurking, which is about the other side of the Treasure Book of the Wind and Moon, the night feast that looks like a cluster of flowers, the seemingly enviable glory, in the end it is just a pile of white bones, a piece of rubble, how can it not wake up the world?
