My new novel, I Took Over the Good-for-Nothing Princess, is updating now. Please add it to your collection.
This book explores the mysteries of Dream of the Red Chamber and The Golden Book. The first half unravels Dream of the Red Chamber, while the second half uses it to discuss The Golden Book. The book has the nature of a collection of essays, following my journey from a first read to a deeper understanding. My preconceptions led me to many misunderstandings and errors at the beginning, but as my interpretation deepened, I gradually got closer to the truth. I hope readers will join me in exploring the world of Dream of the Red Chamber and The Golden Book and enjoy the process of uncovering its secrets.
I'm neither a fan nor a hater. I read with complete objectivity and analyze the author's intent based on the original text. Some of my views may run counter to traditional interpretations, which could lead to misunderstandings. What I really want to say is that mainstream opinions aren't necessarily all correct, just like our preconceptions.
Ten years ago, I posted What Lies Behind the Heroines of The Golden Book on Tianya. I wrote a few scattered interpretations of The Golden Book, but later put it aside because of various circumstances. Recently, I happened across some of my old thoughts, and found that they were still circulating online. Clearly, some people had resonated with them. That sparked some new ideas, and I discovered many similarities between The Golden Book and Dream of the Red Chamber. So I came up with the idea of systematically reconstructing the world of The Golden Book through Dream of the Red Chamber.
Though I may be unworthy, I also want to interpret that timeless masterpiece, Dream of the Red Chamber, and, following Lady Dowager Shi's example of breaking with stale conventions, put on a little show of exposing lies.
Ten years have passed in a flash. Everything has changed, and the once-thriving Tianya has fallen into decline. I don't know if anyone will read this here, but I'll leave it to fate.
Theme: Seeking truth through references, sharing tea as we read and discuss Dream of the Red Chamber and The Golden Book
More and more people are seeing Xiao Longnu's true face on Douyin. Jin Yong probably never imagined that after his death, more and more people would understand The Legend of the Condor Heroes.
Poster, your interpretation of the Divine Eagle has become popular on Douyin. I saw a Douyin anchor posting an interpretation video, which contains the views in your article. A bunch of people in the comments section were suddenly enlightened. Guofu's comments received thousands of likes.
I still remember when I saw my wife's decoding of Jin Yong's post on Tianya. I followed it and was even more impressed. Unfortunately, Tianya is closed and there is no place for archaeological research. I wonder if my wife can move the post from that year and repost it? I really want to rewatch it but can't find it
Finally updated! I saw a very interesting saying that only by understanding the Divine Eagle can one understand Swordsman. Yang Guo is Linghu Chong who can change his mind because Yang Guo really loves Guo Fu and has feelings for the Guo family. But Linghu Chong is a completely black version of Yang Guo. He is all about acting towards his junior sister and has no feelings for Huashan, so he is completely black.
Therefore, Lin Pingzhi who appears at the beginning is not a false protagonist, but actually the hidden tragic true protagonist.
There is little point in arguing which of the two women the author loves more than he loves him. Judging from Yitian Slaying the Dragon and subsequent works, they should all love it, or he doesn't want to make a choice and wants both if he can. It's just that social development makes Zhang Wuji and others only choose one. It's quite interesting who Lin Leyi looks like. The author said she resembles Xia Meng, Lin said Abi's actor resembles her, Jin Daxia recommended Abi to play the role of Dragon Girl, and the author said Dragon Girl is based on Du, so the conclusion is that Xia Meng resembles Du? I have always disagreed with Long as Du Ying. After all, he is a person who has truly loved. How could he put his ex-wife's face into his writing and let her have an indescribable relationship with one old man after another (I think this part of the author's analysis is reasonable)? Just because Du didn't stay in Hong Kong, you want him to stay in Hangzhou? Is it a social terror not to stay in Hong Kong? When he was in school, he was loved by his teachers and classmates. He was obviously a She Niu Little Sun. I prefer talking about Lu Xiaoman's (Longlong). There were so many strange women during the Republic of China, and the Cha family was a big family, and the gossip always knew more deeply than others. When I was 45, I met a 16-year-old waiter serving tea and water. More than 20 years ago, when I was visiting a customer, I met a pretty girl who was greeting the guests. If the two of them are somewhat similar, maybe they feel like they have fallen in love again? The Dragon Girl who has been infinitely beautified by several rounds of TV series is no longer the Dragon Girl in the book. When Jin Daxia recommended the role of Dragon Girl, he did not necessarily think that the girl looked like the Dragon Girl in the book. Abi, who is wearing a blue shirt?
It is true that she did not abandon the dark side and join the bright side. She just wanted to follow Zhang Wuji. Zhang Wuji did not submit to Meng Yuan. As a princess, she wanted to stay with Zhang Wuji, but she could only be forced to cut herself off from her family and nation. As she said, if Zhang Wuji is Han, she is Han, and if Zhang Wuji is Mongolian, she is Mongolian. She had long lost herself in the forced love, betrayed her father and the country, and transformed herself into a person suitable for Zhang Wuji.
In favor of discussing books based on books, readers will have to imagine how it relates to reality. I thought that the last few chapters would discuss how the development of the story after the Divine Condor connects to Yitian. I haven't seen a good continuation or interpretation of this aspect, and I have been looking forward to it. Unexpectedly, there are several long chapters proving how Jin Yong loves Xia Meng the most, and to prove it, the characters in the work are forced to be based on their prototypes. Apart from their beauty, they have almost nothing to do with Xia Meng himself. Regardless of whether it is true or not, as a book, it really feels like it starts before it ends. My true feelings, no offense intended, I am an old reader for many years, following from Tieba and Tianya.
Jin Yong was actually born in 1923, 8 years older than Du Yefen. At the age of 24, he pursued a 16-year-old girl, and smelting copper turned it into love?? It's a love imagined by Jin Yong himself. Even Zhang Xueliang wouldn't dare to brag about it like that.
It turns out that Linghu Chong has been unable to unlock Yilin's acupuncture points. The reason for pushing the palace and causing blood is because he saw Yilin's beautiful appearance and became lustful, so he teased Yilin.
