Red Mansion, Second Master Lian is too despicable

Chapter 116 Miscellaneous Talk: Ancient and Modern Dreams Are Absurd
The tone is too loud and reminds people of the poems written by Huang Chao.Huang Chao was born in a family of salt merchants. He was good at riding and shooting. He was able to compose poems at the age of five. When he became an adult, he failed in the imperial examinations many times, so he wrote: "If I become the Qing Emperor in another year, I will be rewarded with peach blossoms." Then he went on. He became the leader of the peasant uprising, and the fall of the Tang Dynasty began. In "Water Margin", Shi Yu Song Jiang is also a scholar. He was originally a small official in Yuncheng, Shandong Province. He committed a crime and was sent to the south of the Yangtze River. He wrote a poem in "Xunyang Tower", and there is also a sentence: "If the future is successful, I dare to laugh at Huang Chao." Husband." Two scholars, Huang Chao and Song Jiang, rebelled when they mentioned the poem. These two sentences by Jia Yucun inevitably caused unnecessary trouble in an era when literary inquisition was prevalent. Therefore, the reviewer said, "This poem is not the original purpose." It is just to highlight Jia Yucun's image as a scholar with extraordinary literary talent and great ambitions. I have to write it like this, and there is no other meaning.

The comment said: "I started with Mid-Autumn poems, collected them with Mid-Autumn poems, and used the poetry club in autumn. I lamented the three springs, but used the three autumns as the key." In the first chapter of "A Dream of Red Mansions", the Mid-Autumn poems were started through Jia Yucun, In the sixth chapter of No. 70, the author describes Daiyu, Xiangyun and Miaoyu's poems under the moon.A white crane flew away in the shadow, which made Shi Xiangyun say "The shadow of the crane crossing the cold pond" as if by divine help.Not to be outdone, Daiyu added the sentence "The cold moon buries the souls of flowers", and Miaoyu came on the moon to complete "35 rhymes of a couplet with a scene in the Grand View Garden on Mid-Autumn Night".

In addition to the first chapter, there are also descriptions about the Mid-Autumn Festival in the text, which may be briefly brushed off because Qin Keqing is ill, or may be filled with details because the Jia family is about to face a disaster. There are six chapters in No. 70. The Jia family celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival and it was lively for half the night. , Mrs. Wang and others said: "The night is already deep and the wind and dew are strong. Please rest, old lady. You can enjoy the full moon tomorrow." Jia Mu said: "When?" Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "Already The fourth watch was due. The sisters couldn’t make it through, so they all went to bed.”

Jia Mu heard that it was one or two o'clock in the morning. After taking a closer look, she found that everyone had dispersed, and only Tanchun was here.Jia's mother smiled and said: "That's okay. You can't bear it. Besides, you are weak and sick. It will be easier if you get rid of it. It's just that the three girls are pitiful and they are still waiting. You can go and let's break up." Mother's last words, "We parted," are the conclusion of this Mid-Autumn Festival. Girls, weak and weak, are all going to leave. "After the three springs, all the fragrances are gone, and everyone must find their own way." It's time for the Jia family to disperse.

There are too many fake ones, and once you get used to them, you will regard the real ones as fake.True and false can be converted into each other. The false originally plagiarizes and imitates the true, but may eventually surpass the true.

There is such a sentence in Wang Xilian's "General Review of A Dream of Red Mansions": "True is false, and false is true. There is false in the true, and there is true in the false. The true is not true, and the false is not false."

Sometimes the fake is too perfect and you like it too much, even if it tells you that it is fake, you are willing to have the fake perfection instead of the real flaws.Things that should not exist will exist where they should exist, and things that should exist will not exist without a suitable environment.

Things you never owned will be owned when it’s time to have them, and things you once owned will no longer be owned when it’s time to lose them.

If something that clearly does not exist is said to exist, if it is spoken authoritatively or if no one objects to it, then it really does exist.As the saying goes, "An official's appearance is accurate." Zhao Gao "referred to a deer as a horse" back then. It was clearly a deer, but if Zhao Gao said it was a horse, then the deer did not exist.Another example is a man and woman who have a normal relationship and are good friends. There was nothing wrong with them originally, but there are so many rumors and the fabricated facts are even more convincing than the existing facts. How will they get along in the future?Either they really become lovers, or they reduce or have no contact, and this pair of good friends cease to exist.

"When the false becomes true, the true is also false. There is something inaction and nothingness."In just a dozen words, the meaning of Zen, truth and dialectics are written.Therefore, our Chinese characters and Chinese language are the most concise, efficient and vivid!
Our culture has not been cut off for thousands of years, and Chinese characters and Chinese have an inheritance and stability that cannot be compared with other languages.After thousands of years of accumulation, precipitation and development of Chinese culture, Chinese characters and Chinese language have superiority and vitality that cannot be compared with other languages.

Everyone knows that the United Nations has six major working languages, Chinese, English, French, Russian, Arabic and Spanish. Writing work reports with the same content saves pen, ink and paper, and is environmentally friendly. The thinnest version printed must be in Chinese.

But having fewer words does not mean that the expression is insufficient. Our Chinese characters and Chinese language are best at using concise words and sentences to express complex meanings, profound truths and fascinating culture.

National self-confidence stems from cultural self-confidence.Chinese characters and the Chinese language are the most advanced, beautiful, and charming arts in the world. Many foreigners come to learn them. We descendants of Yan and Huang should have this confidence.For example, the author of "A Dream of Red Mansions" has this confidence.

The world is a big dream, and there are several cold autumns in life. The author of "A Dream of Red Mansions" has rich experience and writes like a god. The reviewer learned a lot from him. Therefore, the more the reviewer said that "A Dream of Red Mansions" is not a cynical and critical article about reality, the more It is like reminding readers to read carefully and understand those criticisms of reality and dissatisfaction with society.

【Life is full of hard work, and the grand banquet finally comes to an end. 】

【Sorrows and joys are all the same as illusion, and a dream from ancient to modern times is completely absurd. 】

[It is rumored that red sleeves have heavy marks from crying, and they are even more infatuated and hateful. 】

[Every word looks like blood, ten years of hard work is unusual. 】

This poem will be more interesting if Mr. Guo Degang reads it, but unfortunately we don’t have that ability, so everyone will just listen to it!Life is alive, empty and uncertain, what is the purpose of running around and busy all day long.All grand and luxurious feasts eventually come to an end.Things that make people sad and happy are like illusory dreams. From ancient times to the present, there is no dream that is not absurd.Don't just say that women are always crying, and even more infatuated men hate for life. Every word in "Dream of Red Mansions" is condensed with blood and tears. The author has worked so hard in the past ten years, and it is not easy!
The overall artistic conception of this poem is quite good. The wealth and prosperity in the world of mortals will eventually disappear, just like a banquet, no matter how grand it is, will eventually come to an end.The rise and fall of joy and sorrow, the evolution of reincarnation is like an illusion.From ancient times to the present, in the final analysis, it is just a dream.There are still people working hard for this, which is even more ridiculous.

However, if judged strictly from the perspective of poetry appreciation, this poem is average in writing. The seven-character rhyme poem requires not only confrontation, but also repeated consideration in word selection.Let's look at Du Fu's masterpiece in his later years, "The wind is strong and the sky is high, the apes are screaming in mourning, and the white birds are flying back in the clear sand of Zhugistan. The boundless falling trees are rustling, and the endless Yangtze River is rolling in." It can be said to be a model in terms of word selection.We read what Zhi Yanzhai wrote, "Sorrows and joys are all the same as illusion, and a dream in ancient and modern times is all absurd."She used "thousands of things" to "one dream", which was not rigorous enough. She gave a more rigorous example: "Thousands of things are good in the prosperous age, and everything in China is new", "thousands of things" versus "everything".For another example, "a thousand kinds of love for a newlywed, a thousand kinds of love for a young separation", "thousands of kinds" versus "ten thousand kinds".

Let's read what Zhi Yanzhai wrote again, "It is said that red sleeves have heavy marks from crying, and they are more likely to be obsessed with love and hate." "Red sleeves" are not rigorous enough about "love obsession". What should "Red Sleeves" be more neat about?Let's look at the example in the book "Dream of Red Mansions". Zhen Shiyin's only daughter Zhen Yinglian was abducted by traffickers and later changed her name to Xiangling.

At the beginning of Chapter 40 of No. [-], Xiang Ling wrote a poem, "The essence wants to cover up the material to cope with the difficulties, the shadow is from the Juanjuan, the soul is from the cold. An anvil knocks thousands of miles of white, half a chicken sings the fifth watch. Listen to the flute on the green moss river in autumn. , leaning on the railing at night on the head of the red-sleeved building. Chang'e should ask herself why she is not reunited forever!"

Because Xiang Ling is a character in the novel, this poem was of course written by the author of "A Dream of Red Mansions" on behalf of Xiang Ling.Among them, "Listening to the flute on the green coir river in autumn, leaning on the railing at night in the red-sleeved building" has a beautiful artistic conception and exquisite wording. It can be seen that the author of "A Dream of Red Mansions" is more skillful than the critic Zhi Yanzhai.

"On the green coir raincoat river, we hear the flute in autumn." Green coir raincoat is a green coir raincoat. Children will carry it on their backs: "Egrets fly in front of Xisai Mountain, peach blossoms flow in the flowing water and mandarin fish are fat. Green bamboo hats, green coir raincoats, no need to return in the slanting wind and drizzle." "Green raincoat" is used to refer to a person wearing a raincoat on a rainy day. What is this person doing? "Autumn listening to the flute on the river".

Sitting alone on the boat, deserted and lonely, this person can be a fisherman or a wanderer on a far journey. In this poem, it refers to a wanderer on a far journey. We will discuss it in depth after reading Chapter 40 of No. [-], especially Refers to the stupid overlord Xue Pan.

"Autumn hearing the flute" can be understood as hearing the ethereal sound of the flute on a rainy night in autumn.The author did not write what melody the flute played. We need to combine our imagination with the artistic conception of the poem. Poet Li Bai once said: "The sound of someone's jade flute flies darkly, spreading into the spring breeze and filling Luo City. Who can hear the broken willows in this nocturne?" Love from hometown?" Oh, it turns out that the flute is playing "Folding Willows".

In "The Book of Songs", "I have passed away, and the willows are still there." There is also "Song of Broken Willows" in the Han Dynasty Yuefu. "Liu" is a homophone for "stay". In ancient my country, someone left his hometown for a long journey, and his relatives and friends separated and saw him off. I want to break a willow stick and give it to the person who is about to set off. I give you "willow" just because I want you to keep it. A ditty from the end of the Sui Dynasty sang well, "The willows are green and hanging on the ground, and the poplar flowers are flying in the sky. All the willow branches are broken." When the flowers are gone, ask pedestrians if they will return."The sound of the flute is clear and distant, and the sound of "folding willows" can arouse people's longing for their hometown, relatives and friends.

Xiangling's sentence "Listening to the flute on the green coir river in autumn" expresses exactly what a lonely wanderer from the far end of the world was drifting on a small boat on a cold rainy night in autumn. "Du Ming" has been the most painful feeling since ancient times. I couldn't sleep. Suddenly, I vaguely heard "Breaking Willows" in the patter of rain. The sound of the flute was distant, sad and erratic. This wanderer felt sorry for his parents, his hometown, and the person in his heart. I miss it even more, and I can't sleep even more.

I think "Listening to the Flute on the Green Sea River in Autumn" is more interesting than Zhang Ruoxu's "Whose Boating Tonight, I Miss the Moon Tower"! "Whose Boating Tonight" only has boats, wanderers and longing, while "Listening to the Flute in Autumn on the Green Sea River" "With the addition of drizzle and flute sound, the lonely image of the wandering wanderer is more fully highlighted, and the longing for wandering around the world is more fully rendered, and the artistic conception is more beautiful.

The next sentence of "Listening to the flute on the green coir river in autumn" is "leaning on the railing at night on the front of the house with red sleeves." Please note, students, that "red sleeves" is used for "green coir", red and green, the color is very strict, so I think Zhi Yanzhai wrote, "It is said that red sleeves have heavy marks from crying, and they are more likely to be obsessed with love and hatred." The use of "red sleeves" is not rigorous enough to describe "love obsession".In addition, "red sleeves" and "green cocoons" both use clothes to refer to characters. Zhi Yanzhai wanted to use "red sleeves" to refer to infatuated women, and "qingchi" to refer to infatuated men, but "red sleeves" and " The words "love" are not so harmonious when compared with each other.

Some picky friends may say that people wearing green raincoats are not necessarily men, and women can’t wear them?Not all infatuated people are men, women are sometimes more infatuated!Why do we say that "red sleeves" refers to women, while "green cocoon" and "qingchi" refer to men?

Because women's dresses in ancient times had long sleeves, "red sleeves" later became synonymous with women.Du Mu of the Tang Dynasty wrote a poem: "Picking lotus leaves make your red sleeves wet, and you can see the green moths in Lu." In which "red sleeves" and "green moths" can both refer to beautiful women.There is a sentence in Xin Qiji's "Qing Ping Le - This Body Grows Strong": "I predict that if I get drunk tonight, two rows of red sleeves will fight to support him." Xin Qiji expected that if he got drunk tonight, there would be beauties lining up to help him.Guan Hanqing of the Yuan Dynasty also wrote, "The feast in Hua Province is not waiting for the end, and it is in a hurry to carry the red sleeves." Before the luxurious banquet was served, someone took the beloved beauty and left in a hurry to go on a date alone. Before "A Dream of Red Mansions" was written, there were many such poems, so I won't give examples one by one.

The development of Chinese culture is continuous, and it is also conventional that "Red Sleeves" refers to women. In the Qing Dynasty, the woman referred to by "Red Sleeves" had a deeper meaning. She was a woman with a full artistic image and an artistic life.

Yuan Mei celebrated her 79th birthday. Female disciple Xi Peilan congratulated her teacher on her birthday. She wrote a sentence: "Green clothes hold inkstones to remind students to write papers, and red sleeves add fragrance to accompany reading." Please note that the use of "green clothes" versus "red sleeves" in this sentence also means Color to color, very rigorous.In ancient times, book boys wore green clothes, so green clothes became a synonym for boys.

Yuan Mei was a Jinshi in the fourth year of Qianlong's reign and a concubine of the Hanlin Academy. Now he was living at home. Many literati, wealthy businessmen, and celebrities came to visit him. They asked Yuan Mei to write inscriptions on plaques, write poems on paintings, and pay tribute to Yuan Mei. Write a preface before the book.The book boy in green held an inkstone in his hand and urged whose turn it was to write for him. He was busy for a long time. When everyone dispersed, Yuan Mei read quietly while the beauty in red sleeves added spices to the incense burner and stayed by his side.This line of Xi Peilan's poem evolved into "reading at night with red sleeves and fragrant fragrance", which is regarded as the most elegant thing for scholars.

Xi Peilan once wrote a sentence, "Green clothes hold inkstones to answer questions, red sleeves add fragrance to accompany reading", which evolved into "Red sleeves add fragrance to study at night", which is regarded as the most elegant and elegant thing for scholars.Yajuya is "adding fragrance to red sleeves". Ancient people with high living standards often used incense in their houses to repel mosquitoes, flies and turbid odors, so as to achieve the effects of removing moisture, refreshing the mind, and strengthening the body. "Red sleeves add fragrance" is an extremely elegant and beautiful thing done by a great beauty. It is so beautiful that it is so beautiful!
