Back to the Ming Dynasty: Things About the Ming Dynasty in Dream of Red Mansions

"A Dream of Red Mansions: Return to the Ming Dynasty" novel introduction: This is an epic of blood and tears, which combines the fate of the characters in "A Dream of Red Mansions" with the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty. When the Jia Mansion turned into the Forbidden City and the Grand View Garden turned into the Dream of Jinling, all the characters regained their souls in the torrent of history. The story begins with Zhu Cizhao, the prince of Chongzhen. He experienced the destruction of his country and his family, transformed into Zhen Shiyin, and came to full enlightenment in the desperate situation of "a humble house and an empty hall". He poured the pain of his country's subjugation into his pen and wrote "A Dream of Red Mansions" in "false language" - this unique book turned out to be a eulogy to the history of the Ming Dynasty encrypted with blood and tears. Emperor Jiajing became Jia Jing, who was addicted to alchemy, hollowing out the foundation of the empire; literary leader Qian Qianyi transformed into Jia Yucun and became a military minister in the calculation of "Jade in a coffin for a good price"; Lin Daiyu's tears, Xue Baochai's cold fragrance, and Wang Xifeng's power all have new footnotes in this earth-shattering change. This is not a simple character time travel, but a thrilling literary archeology. I will do my best to use rigorous historical research to compare the judgments of Dream of Red Mansions with the history of the Ming Dynasty one by one, so that every metaphor can find its historical destination. When you see through the front of "Feng Yue Bao Jian" and turn to the back, you will see the last moments of Emperor Chongzhen in Meishan, Shi Kefa's heroic defense of Yangzhou, and the difficult choice between loyalty and surrender of the Jiangnan scholars. "Dream of Red Mansions: Return to the Ming Dynasty" not only hopes to resurrect a literary classic, but also hopes to reveal a forgotten truth: the entire "Dream of Red Mansions" is originally an epic about the fall of the Ming Dynasty written in the secret language of the boudoir. Now, I invite all readers to follow my brushstrokes and uncover this veil that has been covered for three hundred years.
