The Wu Family's Stone Record

In my opinion, the only controversy in this book "The Story of Wu's Stone" lies in its writing style, and the plot is perfect. This is the best ending of Dream of Red Mansions. I will never regret that Red Mansions is not finished in the future.

This is probably a rough draft. It is indeed terrifying and deeply written. It was really a dream of Zhulou last night, and a song of water country tonight. Otherwise, a story about the rise and fall of a slave family might not be able to live up to its status as the first of the four great classics. Although there are always people who want to erase history, people will always discover it in another way

Nice! This is "like a bird that has eaten all its food and throws itself into the forest, leaving a vast expanse of white. The earth is really clean." This is "like a mountain of bones and forgotten surnames." After reading this book, you will understand the meaning of Zhen Shiyin's annotations for good songs. Every sentence has a correspondence and every sentence is a foreshadowing. 🥺 The shabby room was empty, but in those days the bed was full of wats, and the grass and poplars were withering. It was once a singing and dancing place. Spider silk is covered with carved beams, and green gauze is now stuck on the canopy windows. It is said that the fat is thick and the powder is fragrant, how can the temples become frost again? Yesterday there were bones in the loess; tonight there are mandarin ducks under the red light tent. A box full of gold, a box full of silver, a beggar with open eyes is slandered by everyone. I was sighing that others would not live long, but I didn't know that I would be mourned when I returned! If you train well, you can't guarantee that you will be a strong leader in the future. Who chooses to live in Fireworks Alley? Because the gauze hat was too small, the shackles were broken. Yesterday I felt sorry for the coldness of my broken coat, but now I think the purple python is too long. After you sing, I will appear on the stage. I think that a foreign country is my hometown. How ridiculous, in the end you are making wedding clothes for others!

Regardless of whether the original is genuine or fake, it is a good one if it can be integrated with Yuantong.

It should be the first draft of the real book. It would be nice to see it in my lifetime 🤦 Can forgery reach this level? It is impossible for modern people to write it.

The characters in this version are a bit different from the original version, so I don't feel comfortable with them. But the writing is really good. I thought Gao E was already very powerful and cruel, and the ending of the character was tragic. After seeing this, I realized Mr. Gao's tenderness. What he wrote is really "A Dream of Red Mansions" - it ends happily and tenderly. But this one is really hard-blooded! Good guy! The Jia Mansion was a good place, and it became a "check-in place" for refugees and bandits! Everyone was killed. Only a few escaped. What's even more embarrassing is that the palace was also washed and the dynasties were changed. The more than ten battles are so exciting to watch! No wonder it's called "The Story of the Stone" - it's so tough! In general, although it is not an original work, it is worth reading.

I was shocked when I read Chapter 16. Three gangs of thieves entered Jia's house to rob him. This really corresponds to "Hulala, it's like the building is falling down"! And "The bones are as white as a mountain and I have forgotten my surname!" The family is ruined, but the country is actually ruined and the family is ruined! I didn't take down some notes, and I wrote down some notes in a notebook. I'll write my thoughts after reading them. It's hard to tell whether it's true or false. Not sure. I'm curious to take a look. The good thing is that the personnel and affairs in the first eighty chapters are matched. A lot of foreshadowing has been revealed and there is an ending. The bad thing is that the writing is really poor and seems to be roughly written. This is what surprised me. There are more than twenty foreshadowing points, which is really wonderful. The ending of Liu Xinwu's "The Secret of the Dream of Red Mansions" written by himself is similar to this. I don't know which of them copied which, and I haven't done any research. Rong Qiang, seizing the dynasty, said it too blatantly in many places. He also bluntly defended Three Wives and Four Concubines, which should have been deleted according to the author's style. The idea of ​​loyalty to the king is strong. National hatred was mentioned several times. Yuanyang was killed by Sister Feng and was very puzzled. Doubtful. Baoyu and Jiang Yuhan had sex in bed (written in a cryptic way), which can understand the ancient romance. Baochai retreated in shame. It was a bit funny to see this. The poems are indeed not very good, and most of them are copied from other poets' poems. Maybe it's true, it's just a rough draft written by someone who has seen the ending and based on his own impressions. It may have been compiled by people in the late Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China. During the compilation, it was mixed with some truth and some falsehood. Who knows? Cheng Gaoben is not real, just treat it as a fan fiction. 🤦

This is the original Dream of Red Mansions, so well written and deeply touching!

I believe this was the original draft

I quite agree with the ending of this version. Although the description in many places is too hasty, it feels like the Dream of Red Mansions is complete.
