An interpretation of Dream of the Red Chamber.
So far, Qingwen has been identified with Ke Shi, Xiren with Wan Zhen'er, Ping'er with Wu Sangui, and Jia Lian with Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang... Want to learn more hidden history? Stay tuned for what's next.
After Lin Daiyu's soul returned to the Land of Hatred, the Hibiscus Fairy gave her a magic mirror to help her be reborn and save the Divine Luminescent Stone Attendant. This story interprets the novel's many characters and their fates.
Since Dream of the Red Chamber is unfinished and told through fabricated words and village tales, it leaves behind countless mysteries and sparks endless debate. The author once dared to offer an interpretation, too, but couldn't make it hold together, and had to bring it to a hasty close.
One day, the answer suddenly came to them, and they wrote this book as a tribute to the classic.
Theme: Uncover the truth of Dream of the Red Chamber and resolve its lingering regrets.
I got irritable when I heard about Caojiagou... I was very young when I first read Dream of Red Mansions, and I didn't know much about Ming history, so I could tell there was something wrong with this book! This book of blood and tears soaked in the essence of China is definitely not a work that could have been written by a Tatar dynasty slave! There are so many chickens pretending to be blind! I don't know when the Tuan Jie historical view will subside. Maybe I have to wait until I change the human world again.
Daiyu should not commit suicide by drowning. In the Dream of Red Mansions, "water" often refers to the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. When Daiyu buried the flowers, she also said that the "water" was unclean and would ruin the "flowers". Daiyu's cry in "The Flower Burial Song": Where is the fragrant hill at the end of the sky? Daiyu's ideal is the (native) land, and it is unlikely that she would voluntarily choose to die in the water.
I have been following this article for a long time, and I am impressed by the author's profound literary skills. I think you have to look up information, summarize, write, and revise to write these, which is more laborious than those who write novels. Each article is no less than a small paper. The workload and pressure are too much to write while writing. Writing three articles at once is even more labor-intensive, and it is not good for your health in the long run. It is recommended that you update one main article, and you can write more slowly and then focus on updating the rest.
The author is so knowledgeable!
Baoyu is the second master of Bao, but actually ranks fourth in Rongguo Mansion. Moreover, he named Si'er, who had the same birthday as him, as Si'er. This four-character character is indeed everywhere.
Every time I read other people's reviews of Red Mansion, I feel like I've read a fake book.
Don't finish it so quickly, there is still a lot of content I want to see 😭 😭
Today I read the poems of several members of the Haitang Poetry Society on Douyin, and I discovered that in The Red Mansion, Xishi and Concubine Yang were used as metaphors for Daiyu and Baochai respectively. I couldn't help but think of the Divine Condor, and Jin Yong even wrote a short story on the Yue Nv Sword to describe the beauty of Xi Shi and the greatness of her sacrifice for the country. This is probably why Guo Fu has been asked to use the Yue Nv swordsmanship in The Red Mansion without giving her a chance to improve her martial arts...
Although I don't want to talk about this topic... Daiyu's ending is more likely to hang herself. Whether it is the prophecy of the jade belt hanging in the forest or her possible prototype historical figure (one school of thought believes that she alludes to Chongzhen), they all point to this ending. In addition, dying in the water is not only very painful, but also dirty and ugly. When Jin Chuan was discovered in the well, it had already "swelled so big" (I don't know if the author has heard of the Giant View)... The Wenli Jia family has finally reached the end of the world. If Daiyu is not discovered in time after her death, then...
It is said that Qingwen is the shadow of the innocent daughter Daiyu. Unexpectedly, there is such a posture behind her.
