Although there has been a long-standing controversy in the red circle about whether Zhi Yanzhai and Zhen Yiou used different signatures before and after, or whether they were two people at all, there is a conventional name for the comment on writing in the ancient version of The Story of the Stone, that is, they are both called "Zhi Pi". The branch of Dream of Red Mansions, Lipology, is dedicated to studying the comment on writing in these ancient books. So, we now know that according to the fat criticism, there is a love list at the end of the book A Dream of Red Mansions, and all the people who enter the list are "Golden Hairpins", that is, women. They are twelve people, and each group constitutes a booklet. In addition to the original book, the supplementary book and the supplementary book of the twelve women in Jinling that we have explored above, it is clear that there is a fourth book, that is, three pairs, and a fifth book, called four pairs.
let's explore now, which women will be included in the third and fourth booklets?
let's start with the three sub-volumes.
The four ladies in Jia's house, that is, the "four beauties in Jia's house", and the first maid in front of them each have the words "Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting" in their names, which is of course a symbol, which means that the ladies in Jia's house are very cultured. Tan Chun is a calligrapher, as mentioned earlier; Xichun can draw pictures, which constitutes an important plot in the book; The seventh time I wrote about Zhou Rui's sending palace flowers, I wrote that Yingchun played chess with Tanchun; Yuan Chun may play the guqin, which may also be a factor for her to win the favor of the emperor. When she entered the palace with her, she may specialize in serving her to play the piano. The four chief maids of Jia Fu's Siyan, holding the piano, playing chess, waiting for books, and showing pictures, played chess because the author wrote a lot of ink in the eighty chapters, and I guess she has been included in the sub-book, so in the three sub-books, holding the piano, waiting for books, and showing pictures should be all there. Waiting for a book, printed as a servant book in the pass book, checking the ancient books, or writing for a book.
So, a maid in front of Mrs. Wang was close to Jia Huan, but Jia Huan was half-hearted. By the seventy-second time, "Lai Wang's trusted servant came to Wang to ask his wife to come forward and beg for this maid, and insisted on marrying her son's daughter-in-law." This son of Laiwang drinks and gambles, and he is ugly, but Xifeng made a speech and had no choice but to marry him. Aunt Zhao begged Jia Zheng in an emergency, hoping to keep this girl and get an arm for herself in the future, but Jia Zheng was very indifferent to this, and Aunt Zhao was powerless. So who is this girl? There are two names in the book, one is Caiyun and the other is Caixia. These two names sometimes appear in the same story, but if you read it carefully, you will find that this girl who is good with Jia Huan, although written as Caiyun for a while and Caixia for a while, should actually be a role. The reason why the name is unstable should be that Cao Xueqin hasn't had time to make a final draft of the book, just like writing tits with a big sister and a clever sister, which belongs to the burr that has not been picked up. According to the account in the book, this girl has a younger sister named Xiao Xia, so she should be named Caixia. Caixia should occupy a place in the third album.
Suyun and Biyue are Li Wan's maids, and Suyun is higher than Biyue. Seventy-five times, You Shi went to Daoxiang Village to wash his face and mend his makeup, so Li Wan ordered Suyun to fetch her own makeup. Li Wan is a widow and doesn't wear make-up, so Suyun brought her own invitation to Madam You to use it. Li Wan reprimanded her, saying that I didn't, so you should go to the ladies to get some. Why did you openly take out yours? But you Shi said that she was not too dirty, so she used it. Suyun wouldn't have done such a thing if she hadn't been the chief maid. If Suyun is in the second sub-volume, then I need to remove one from my last lecture, such as moving Liu Wuer to the third sub-volume and replacing her; However, the comment on writing of Abnormal Watanabe is just a guess. "It's never true". What book is someone in? Abnormal Watanabe was finally understood when Ji Chun read Love List in the middle of the afternoon. Therefore, if Suyun can't get into the secondary book in the end, she should be in the third secondary book.
Cuilv, Xiangyun's maid, and Xiangyun discussed Yin and Yang together, and the servant and master asked and answered each other, which was very interesting. In the end, I found a golden unicorn, which impressed everyone deeply. Cuilv was originally Jia's girl, but later Jia gave Cuilv to Xiang Yun. When Xiang Yun went back to her uncle and aunt's house, she took her there, and counted the people there. Xiang Yun came to visit Zugu's house, and she followed her. Cuilv should be in three copies.
There is Xueyan. She followed Daiyu from Yangzhou to the north, and when she arrived at Jiafu, Grandmother Jia saw that she was too young and childish, so she gave one of her mature maids, Ying Ge, to Daiyu. Although there is no explicit explanation in the book, readers can understand that Ying Ge later changed her name, called Zijuan, and became Daiyu's chief maid, and later became Daiyu's bosom friend. However, Xueyan, after all, followed Daiyu to live in Jia's house. She grew up day by day and went to the tragic end of falling with Jia's house day by day. She should be in three copies.
Baoyu has the most girls around him. Back to the sixty-third "Shouyihong Qunfang held a night banquet", it was originally just the maids in Baoyu's room who gathered together to give him another birthday celebration. The amount of money paid by the girls is determined by their status. Four girls, namely Aroma, Qingwen, Sheyue and Qiuwen, are considered as first-class girls, and each girl is five dollars and silver. Fang Guan, Bi Hen, Xiaoyan and Si Er are second-class maids, and each molecule is San Qian silver. In front of the girl who wrote Baoyu, there was a charming girl named Tan Yun, whose name was paired with Musk Moon, and there was a girl named Yee Yue, whose name was paired with Qingwen's-it was wrong to write Yee Yue as Yee Xia. But some charmers, Tan Yun and Qi Yue only gave their names once, and some appeared more than once, but they didn't play much in the eighties, and Zhi Pi didn't reveal their stories after the eighties. Qingwen, Xiren and Sheyue have been included in the second album, so Qiuwen, Bi Hen, Xiaoyan and Si Er should receive the third album, and they all have some plays in the first eighty chapters. I mentioned Qiuwen in the last lecture. Although she often shows superiority by being a girl in Baoyu's room, she makes rude remarks compared with a girl with a low status, but on the whole, her personality is relatively peaceful, unlike Qingwen, whose pursuit of life is superficial, and she is more able to give in when getting along with people with similar status. The words that best reflect her happy-go-lucky and contented with her master's little kindness are concentrated in the thirty-seventh chapter. The author made a sharp contrast between her personality and Qingwen, Sheyue and Xiren, which finally led to Qing and Musk telling Xiren the nickname of "western flower idea pug". Xiren was of course angry, and Qiuwen immediately apologized. As a character with its unique personality, Qiu Wen should be on the list in the three copies. Bi Hen is the maid in charge of the division of labor to take care of Baoyu's bath. In some ancient books, her name is written as Blue Ocean, and some redology experts think that she should be named Blue Ocean. In the book, through the mouth of another girl, she waited on Baoyu to take a bath. Once, she washed for three hours. After washing, the legs of the bed were flooded, and the mats were covered with water. I don't know how to wash them. This Bi Hen should also be included in three copies. Xiaoyan, that is, Chun Yan, had many plays in the fiftyninth and sixties, and Baoyu's famous saying that the girl changed from a priceless pearl to a dead pearl and then to a fish's eye because of her marriage was arranged by the author to be relayed by her mouth, and she should also be included in three copies. Si Er, whose original name was Huixiang, got close to Baoyu on the 21st occasion when she was angry with xiren. Baoyu thought her name was tacky and called her Si Er instead. Because she had the same birthday as Baoyu, saying that the same birthday was a joke between husband and wife, and she was tipped off to Mrs. Wang, and later she was reprimanded and kicked out by Mrs. Wang. She should also be in the third copy. So, is Fang Guan in the third copy? I don't think so. Let's talk about the reasons below.
in this way, there are only eleven women in the three copies. So, who is the other hairpin? I think it's Xiao Luo, a girl from Xue Baoqin. The scene of her standing on a snowy slope with a bottle of plum blossoms in her arms is one of the most beautiful pictures in the book.
Three pairs are full. Then, four pairs, in my personal opinion, should be included in the "Red House and Twelve Palaces", which is to prepare for the twelve girls that Jia Qiang bought in Jiangnan in the spring of Yuan Dynasty. Among them, Ling Guan and Fang Guan play the most. When I talked about Baoyu earlier, I talked about the young official painting Qiang. There is real love between her and Jia Qiang, and their love goes beyond the relationship between master and slave. Baoyu went to pear fragrance court to see and hear, and was greatly moved, so he realized that the feelings between people, especially love, have their mystery and destiny takes a hand. Ling Guan is very great. Yuan Fei is visiting her mother. In such an important and political activity, her master ordered her to sing two plays, The Garden and The Scared Dream. She thought that these two plays were not from this corner, and she insisted on not performing them. Moreover, she chose the play herself, which was totally opposite in style. I don't know what your opinion is about such an act, but I read that one anyway. Later, the emperor banned entertainment because of the death of the old lady's concubine, and the mothering was suspended. The Jia family dismissed these singing girls, except for the dead Yuan Guan, eight of them stayed, and the old Guan, Bao Guan and Yu Guan left voluntarily. Ling Guan should have been picked up by Jia Qiang, but it was not written in the eighty chapters. After the eighty chapters, there should be an explanation for their combination and ending.
Fang Guan is a character in the book with concentrated scenes and extremely vivid shapes. Later, she was assigned to be a maid in Yihong Hospital. Her foster mother took her money, but she didn't put it on her. She not only didn't wash her hair properly, but also scolded her. "That Fangguan only wore a small cotton-padded jacket with begonia red, silk trousers under it, open trouser legs, and a dark oil-like hair behind her head, which made her cry like a tearful person." She befriended Liu's sister-in-law in the inner kitchen, trying to help Liu Wuer enter Yi Hong Yuan. She ran to the kitchen to take a message. It was written in the book, "Suddenly I saw Fang Guan coming and picking up the gate"-the body language was vivid-talking to Liu's family with a smile. Qunfang held a night banquet, and there was another line in the book dedicated to her: "At that time, Fangguan was full of shouts of heat, wearing only a small padded jacket in paddy field with jade, red, green and velvet, and a willow-green sweat towel, with pink-sprinkled pants and loose trouser legs under it. There is a circle of braids on the brow and forehead, which always comes to the top of the head, and a total braid the thickness of a goose egg is dragged behind the head. There is only a jade plug the size of a grain of rice in the eye of the right ear, and a hard red gold pendant the size of ginkgo in the left ear. The more it looks like a full moon, the more white it is, and the eyes are paid off like autumn water. " It really jumped out of the paper. Later, Baoyu dressed her up as a small earthen fan, and Fang Guan also said that "there are several earthen fans in our house". It can be seen that after the emperor went out to quell the rebellion in Fanbang at that time, he also assigned some of the captured earthen fans to various aristocratic families as rough servants, so Baoyu gave her a name Yelv Xiongnu, and later, because he was mistakenly called "Wild Donkey", he changed his name to Wendulina, which is said to be "Haixi Frances" In a word, Fang Guan left a vivid impression on readers, and this artistic image is very extensive. You can do special research on her and get rich results. As mentioned earlier, after the inspection of the Grand View Garden, Mrs. Wang reprimanded Fang Guan for instigating Baoyu, who dared to laugh and argue in person. She later entered the nunnery, but readers can imagine that her romantic and uninhibited personality will definitely conflict with the nunnery owner sooner or later. What kind of ending she ended up with, except tragic, the specific situation is unknown.
The other seven officials, civil servants, were later assigned to the Lady Dowager, Lotus Root Officer to Daiyu, Rui Officer to Baochai, Kwai Officer to Xiangyun, Ai Guan to Tanchun, Bean Officer to Baoqin and Qie Guan to You Shi. These girls are quite United. They are in trouble alone, help each other in groups, and dare to speak to their masters for the benefit of groups. Ai Guan tells her opponent in front of Tanchun. Although their existence as maids inside and outside the Grand View Garden was short, they showed a special style different from those of "regular maids". As a whole, they were the "golden hairpin" of the four copies, which made sense.
So, are there only 6 women in these five groups in Love List? Some experts, such as Mr. Zhou Ruchang, put forward that there are not only these five groups, but also four groups. One * * * is nine groups, and * * * has one hundred and eight women. Some people will think, 18, is this not a trap? "Water Margin" finally ranked heroes in water margin, didn't it discharge a hundred singles and eight generals? This is not a trap. From the text of A Dream of Red Mansions, it can be clearly seen that Cao Xueqin deliberately innovated, but he didn't cut off the relationship with the cultural origins before him. He wrote about how Baoyu and Daiyu got ideological nourishment from The West Chamber and The Peony Pavilion, and used many classical operas to hint at the fate of the characters, the direction of the story and the ending of the book. As for the mastery of his outstanding articles and poems, it penetrated into the whole text. Although he draws lessons from the external form of the ranking in Water Margin, there are only a few decorative women among the 18 heroes in Water Margin, which is basically a group monopolized by men, and the Love List he discharged at the end of the book, except Jia Baoyu, is all women's world. In that era, that society, that mainstream ideology, his approach is absolutely shocking, a challenge to the patriarchal society, and a unique artistic conception. And he set the number of women in each group as 12, which is completely different from the structure of the heroes list in Water Margin and has distinct originality.
According to our impression from the first 8 times after reading A Dream of Red Mansions, only five groups of 6 women can not hold many images of daughters in the book. I have nine groups of 18 people. "
