Synopsis
This is a unique continuation of Red Mansions. Most of the derivatives of Red Mansions on the market are time travel, rebirth, and forced consummation. This book "Resume of Red Mansions" only adheres to the background of Cao Gong's original work. It does not change the character or tamper with the judgment. It is specially written for readers of the original work who have difficulty in overcoming their emotions. The book has more than 70,000 words in complete form. The antique vernacular fits the style of the first eighty chapters, and the words are elegant and restrained. Wedding ceremonies, lantern riddles, couplets, and market chats all reproduce the sentiments of the Qing Dynasty. The original poems fit the character of each character. The poem on the hibiscus fan, the short sentence on the frontier fortress of Xiangyun, the five rhymes of the funeral of a group of hairpins, and the "Hibiscus Elegy" written by Baoyu all have their own unique characters. Reading it makes you feel like you are back in the Grand View Garden. The plot completely recycles all the gray lines of the original work and fills in many blank spaces one by one: the opening chapter of Leng Zixing's tea shop reveals the deep hidden dangers of the four major families' deficit and the decline of Yuan Fei's favor; a section of Shepu in the suburbs completes the foreshadowing of Jin Qilin , Wei Ruolan refutes the dandy with a strong character, and the gift of jade establishes a pre-destined relationship, completely unfolding the life of Xiangyun and Wei Ruolan from acquaintance, wedding to eternal separation, which perfectly corresponds to the sentence "The water of the Xiangjiang River passes away and Chu Yunfei". Daiyu returned to Gusu to worship her mother according to the rules of the Lin clan. She was ill and torn apart along the way, and was eventually buried in the flower hill of Jinling, fulfilling the principle of "coming and going clean again"; Cui'an Miaoyu became a pawn in the court, and Guazhou Ferry was in a dilemma , tells the story of the fate of gold and jade being trapped in the mud; Tan Chun was ordered to marry far away and marry, and Ying Chun was trapped in the Sun family to death; The story runs in two parallel lines. On the one hand, it writes about the joys and sorrows of the children in the boudoir, and on the other hand, it unfolds the overall situation of the era of supervision of power in the court, the war in southern Xinjiang, and the strife of aristocratic families. The decline of the Jia family is not accidental. The farm's harvest failed, the children's debauchery, and the officialdom were framed one after another, leading step by step to confiscation and overthrow. The narrative is thick and not thin. The characters all have complete arcs: Baoyu goes from infatuation and madness to conquering the world of mortals, Baochai stands alone in the troubled times, helps Xiren in trouble, Grandma Liu has a good heart, there is no flat person, and everyone's choices are in line with their own personalities. The whole book adheres to the tragic core of "the vast white land is really clean after falling", and there is no false relief from the revival of Jia's family or Lan Gui Qifang. The prosperity of the Grand View Garden vanished in an instant, and all the fragrances dispersed. Baoyu finally bid farewell to Baochai and returned to Dahuang Mountain. All the joys and sorrows returned to nothingness, which is in line with the theme of "Good Song". The writing is restrained and restrained, and it does not rely on bloody conflicts to attract attention. It hides the joys and sorrows with exquisite details. The scenes such as the Osmanthus Tea House, the Shangyuan Lantern Banquet, the Cold Moon in the Concave Crystal Pavilion, and the Green Plum Blossoms are full of atmosphere. The still water runs deep and has long lasting power. No time travel, no golden fingers, no changing of fate against the will of heaven, purely using words to complete Mr. Cao Intention: Taoism and Confucianism
