Alas, stop the machine, poor talent;
The jade belt hangs down the forest, and the golden hairpin buries the snow.
This song is about Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu.
Baoyu was still puzzled by the "auxiliary book" and went to see the "main book". On the first page, he saw "two dead trees with a jade belt hanging on them;" Another pile of snow, golden hairpin under the snow (two dead trees are "Lin", and snow is homophonic with "Xue"). This is the verdict.
The first sentence is that Baochai has the most standard feudal female character. She is "square in character and beautiful in appearance" and "open-minded in behavior, keeping up with the times", which is liked by Fu Rong's masters and slaves. The author also said that she "doesn't talk much, and people call it hidden stupidity; Be quiet at all times and be self-disciplined. "This is typical of educated ladies in feudal times." She can persuade Baoyu to read the books of "saints" and take the road of "career economy" without caring about being left out by Baoyu. As soon as Daiyu drank, she blurted out the words in the forbidden books "The West Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion". She can secretly remind Daiyu about it without embarrassing her. According to the standards of virtuous women at that time, she almost reached the impeccable "perfection" level. But there is always some gap between readers and this model. Why? It is that she is too adapted to the surrounding environment, and sometimes she unconsciously helps the evil forces. For example, after Jinchuan was forced to jump into a well, he was unmoved, but went to comfort the murderer Mrs. Wang. Some people say that she is a schemer, with hidden secrets and deep talent. It seems a little too much to want to be "Grandma Bao". She is not only the defender of feudal ethics, but also the victim of feudal morality. After Jia's family fell, her fate was not good, and "being buried in the snow" was a sign.
The second sentence is that Lin Daiyu is an extremely clever talented woman. Her talent is the crown of the Grand View Garden and the goddess of wisdom. She lost her parents when she was a child and was put in foster care at her grandmother's house. Although she is grandma's "sweetheart", she can't get rid of a sense of loneliness because of her sensitivity. Especially the love for Baoyu is almost neurotic. Fortunately, Baoyu devoted himself to her and comforted her everywhere, even if it was to hedge the "wrong" jade gave him. In this way, their love developed in a strange and persistent contradiction pain. Laugh for a while, then cry, crying more than laughing; Just made up, suddenly fell out again, fell out once to deepen feelings. Their love has been deformed under tangible and intangible external pressure. In an environment like Rong Guofu, the more sensitive people are, the more unbearable they are. The tragedy of Daiyu is that she can't pretend to be "confused" like Baochai. She's too smart.
Baochai and Daiyu are a pair of symmetrical models: one is fat and the other is thin; A soft, a stiff; One hides stupidity, the other reveals sharpness; One became "Grandma Bao" contentedly, and the other died tragically. But there is no winner in this pair of enemies. The last two sentences make it clear that Baoyu's heart is still hanging in the forest, and Baochai should be lonely all her life.
In the past 20 years, I have distinguished right from wrong, and I have a bright future.
Three spring for the early spring scenery, the tiger and rabbit meet and dream of returning to their hometown.
This is about Jia Yuanchun.
In front of the verdict, "draw a bow with citron hanging on it" (the word "palace", which is homophonic with the word "bow", indicates that it is related to the court; Citron, a plant called bergamot, is yuan.
Yuan Chun is the eldest miss of Jia family and the eldest daughter of Jia Zheng. Because of her virtue and filial piety, she was elected to the palace as a female history (female official name). Later, she was named "History of Fengzao Palace" and "Moral Discipline" by Jin, and was the highest-ranking woman. Jia Jiaxuan's influence depends not only on his ancestors' fame and fortune, but also on the important relationship of his family's "Emperor and Mother".
"Twenty years" is about the age since Yuan Chun became sensible. From the aristocratic family to the court, she experienced many political ups and downs. Pomegranate blooms in the courthouse, symbolizing the glory of Yuan Chun. In order to go back to my mother's house, a magnificent Royal Grand View Garden was built, and the grand occasion when I came home during the Lantern Festival was unparalleled. The third sentence is that the fate of welcoming the Spring, exploring the Spring and cherishing the Spring cannot be compared with that of Yuan Chun, but the ending of Yuan Chun is not good either. The fourth sentence says that she will die at the end of the year! The first three sentences greatly exaggerate the glory of Yuan Chun, and suddenly one sentence falls and makes you break out in a cold sweat. When Yuan Chun died, the patron fell down, and this aristocratic family that has experienced a hundred years will soon fall apart. Although there are few opportunities for Yuan Chun to appear in the book, her existence is closely related to the rise and fall of this big family.
My son is a Zhongshan wolf. If he succeeds, he will be crazy.
The golden boudoir is full of flowers and willows, and she goes to Huang Liang with one load.
This is about Jia Yingchun.
Before sentencing, "I drew a bad wolf and chased a beautiful woman to vomit." This implies that Yingchun will fall into the hands of the wicked and be destroyed.
Yingchun is the daughter of Fu Rong's gentleman Jia She. She's beautiful. Although she has no talent, she is pure and kind-hearted Because of cowardice and being the second child, he is called "Ermu". Later, she was betrothed to Sun Shaozu by her father. Sun Shaozu's ancestors, because of "unfinished business", worshipped under the Jia family and started from the Jia family's influence. This Sun Shaozu is rich and very lucky in officialdom. He was waiting for a promotion in the Ministry of War, so Jia She chose him as the "son-in-law". Sun Shaozu's quality was so bad that Jia Zheng didn't even agree to this marriage, but Jia She wouldn't listen. After Yingchun got married, she was abused and tortured to death within a year.
I am smart and ambitious. I was born in the last days.
On the Qingming River, the east wind dreams.
This song is about tanchun.
Before sentencing, he drew two people flying kites, a sea and a big ship, in which a woman hid her face and sobbed. "This painting symbolizes that Tanchun left her homeland like a kite with a broken line. The boat and the sea are the hints of her distant marriage.
Tanchun was born to Jia Zheng's little wife, Aunt Zhao. She is the third of Jia's four sisters and the cleverest and most talented. To say that she is ambitious means that she wants to make a difference. Once, I wrote a paragraph about her managing the Grand View Garden on behalf of Xifeng, and she managed such complicated affairs in an orderly way, showing her unusual talent and being almost as smart as Xifeng.
Under the influence of feudal thought, she was ashamed of being a concubine. In addition, Aunt Zhao is humble and simply refuses to recognize her as a mother. She and her sister Ying Chun are just the opposite of cowardice, and they are called "roses", which are bright and prickly. In "Copy Inspection of Grand View Garden", she dared to hit the big mouth of Wang Shanbao, the escort of the first wife! How delightful! Xi- feng humiliated Aunt Zhao at will, but did not dare to look down upon this outstanding daughter, and even "feared her by five points" to show his respect. With the end of the family, the fate of such a charming young lady with both talents and looks is also sad. She married in a foreign land, far from home, and cut off contact with her family. The picture before the verdict shows two people flying kites, and there may be a girl who married her. Because Cao Xueqin didn't write a complete book, I don't know who wrote it.
It can be seen that the spring is not long, and Shao Yidun changed the makeup of the previous year.
Poor embroidered maid, lying alone beside the ancient Buddha in Deng Qing.
This song is about Jia Xichun.
In front of the verdict is "an ancient temple, in which a beautiful woman sits alone and recites scriptures". Yu Xichun became a nun.
Xichun is the daughter of Jia Jing, the capital of Ningguo, and Jia Zhen's sister. She is the youngest of Jia's four daughters. Since she was a child, she hated the world and longed to be a nun. When she was a child, she loved to play with the clever children of the little nun in Shantou Temple, and later she became friends with Miaoyu. Cherish the spring watched the empress' elder sister Yuan Chun die short-lived, the second sister was tortured to death soon after she got married in the spring, and the third sister Tanchun married in a foreign country with little news and no good experience, so she "sees through the world of mortals" and decided to become a monk. According to Zhi Yanzhai's comment on writing, she will have the experience of "begging" in the future, that is, begging along the street for a living, which is really pitiful.
What is wealth? My parents violated me when I was a baby.
The beautiful eyes hang oblique light, and the Xiangjiang River died in Chu Yunfei.
This song is about Shi Xiangyun.
Before the verdict, "draw a few wisps of flying clouds, but a bay is missing." "Oblique light" and "hidden clouds" in the reference words of Feiyun and "hidden Xiang" in the reference words of Xiangjiang River.
Xiangyun is the girl of Hou Shangshu, a historian, and the granddaughter of Shi Taijun. Soon after her birth, she lost the love of her parents, became an orphan, and grew up in front of her uncle and aunt. She came to the Grand View Garden, which was her happiest moment. At this time, she laughed loudly, lively and naughty. However, when I had to go home, my mood suddenly became cold. I repeatedly urged Baoyu to remind Grandmother Jia that she often came to pick her up. She left in tears, which shows that life at home is very unsatisfactory. What is the ending of such a handsome and cheerful daughter? "Eyes hanging down", that is to say, her married life is like a beautiful sunset.
"Water flies" may indicate her early death or widowhood, or her fate is embarrassing. Once, she wrote that she found a golden unicorn that Baoyu lost, which matched her original golden unicorn very well. Judging from the words "double star", this must be a hint to her future marriage life. So who is her spouse? Is it Baoyu? It seems so, but it is not. According to Geng's criticism, some researchers infer that they may have married a man named Wei (the name Wei appeared once in the 14th funeral procession). Maybe later Baoyu gave Jin Qilin to Wei (just like giving a sweat towel), which is not clear. Because I can't see the whole picture of Cao Xueqin's book, the above speculation is just speculation. Another note from the Qing dynasty said that there was a continuation of the story, which said that after the downfall of the Jia family, Baoyu descended to the world several times and finally married Shi Xiangyun. This may come from the fact that "the two stars grow old because of Kirin", so to speak.
Why do you want to be clean? Clouds are not necessarily empty.
Poor Xiaoyu finally got stuck in the mud.
This song is about Miaoyu.
Before sentencing, he drew a piece of beautiful jade and fell into the soil. The "beautiful jade" is a "wonderful jade", and the "dirt" and "mud" in the judgment are both unclean places.
Miaoyu was born in Suzhou, a "scholar-bureaucrat's family", and became a nun due to illness since childhood. She is "good at pen and ink" and "excellent in appearance", and she is also a beauty in the Grand View Garden. She is said to be "clean" because she thinks the secular society is disturbing and unclean, which is a layer of meaning; She's a neat freak again. Grandma Liu once had tea with her, and she actually wanted to throw away a rare kiln cup that Grandma Liu used. She wants to be spotless, but that society will not prepare that condition for her, and fate will arrange for her to go to the most unclean place. Being a monk according to the rules requires "six cleanliness", but she insists on "practicing with hair" and seems to have one hand, which is a basis for her heartbreak. On Baoyu's sixty-third birthday, Miaoyu specially sent a greeting card, which read: "Miaoyu, an outsider, comes from Chen Fang with great respect." A young nun celebrated a noble son's birthday, which was absurd at that time, which seemed to show that she unconsciously had a love for Baoyu. This kind of place writes a girl's secret thoughts in detail.
The author wrote these details, not to show Miaoyu's ugliness, not to condemn her, but full of pity. How cruel it is for a talented and attractive girl to live alone in a temple! What is her final outcome? There is a fat comment that says: "Guazhou Ferry ... Beauty can't yield to bones". It is speculated that she may drift to Guazhou after the decline of Fu Rong, and be bought as a concubine by some old rich man (skeleton). What a tragic tragedy this is. This should mean "mired in a quagmire", which is different from the fact that Gao E continues to be plundered by robbers.
Who is like an orchid after the spring breeze of peaches and plums bears fruit?
Like ice water, you are jealous in an empty space, and you play jokes on others in vain.
This song is about Li Wan and Jia Lan.
Before sentencing, "I drew a pot of Maolan, next to which was a beauty of rockhopper, Bi Xia." Maolan, referring to Jia Lan, said he wanted to be a big official. The beauty who guards him is of course his mother.
Li Wan is Baoyu's sister-in-law. She married her husband Jia Zhu and gave birth to Jia Lan. Soon after, her husband passed away. Li Wan and her in-laws Wang Xifeng are just the opposite. Xifeng Wang is like a fire, and she is like a pile of ashes; Wang Xifeng is like a sharp sword, and she is like a piece of dough; Wang Xifeng is insatiable and uncontested. Among the women in the Grand View Garden, she is the least known. She doesn't care about others, and others don't care about her. The Jia family is not backward. Jia Lan must study for fame, and only by "wearing a hairpin" and "hanging a golden seal on his chest" can he become a big official; Li Wan will wear a pearl crown, cloak and coat for this purpose. But in the author's view, this is meaningless, followed by death, or illusion. Widowed at a young age, my mother is expensive in her later years, but she only makes fun of the world.
All the birds from the last days know that they love this life.
Obeying two orders, three people were in a daze, and crying to Jinling was even more sad.
This song is about Wang Xifeng.
Before the verdict, it was painted as "an iceberg with a female phoenix on it". The power of Yoga Yu is just an iceberg, and it melts as soon as the sun comes out. Female wind (Wang Xifeng) is standing on an iceberg, which is extremely dangerous.
Wang Xifeng is a miss Wang who said in the official amulet that "the Dragon King came to invite King Jinling". Take Fu Rong Jia Lian as his wife. Her aunt is Jia Zheng's wife, Mrs. Wang and Baoyu's mother. The book says that the four families in Jinling are "all connected", which is what it means.
The era when Xifeng Wang was in charge of the housekeeper's power in Fu Rong was already a period of decline for this family. When preparing for Yuan Fei's mother, Xifeng sighed, "I hate being a few years younger. If I had been born twenty or thirty years earlier, these old people would not be too thin to see the world now. " It can be seen that the rich life written in the book is far from the heyday of her family, and then tends to decline, so she is said to be "from the ends of the earth." Xifeng Wang is actually the axis of daily life of Guo Rong Tower. She is beautiful, smart, articulate and smart. Qin Keqing said to her in a dream, "You are a hero in the pink team, even those men in high hats can't pass you." During the funeral, she helped Ning give a typical performance in front of readers. From the chaotic state, she found the key point at once, and then decided to fight World War I, divide by three times and five, and tidy up Ningguo House in perfect order. It was really resourceful. If she were a man, she could be a politician in feudal times. However, she is vicious by nature. In order to satisfy endless greed, she embezzles money, lends usury and accepts huge bribes every month. For this reason, she can kill people without blinking an eye and do anything immoral. She is a female demon who eats people and doesn't spit bones. Her talents and her sins are mixed together like water and flour. Therefore, Jia Jia fell, and she was the first unlucky one. She wanted to end her short life sadly.
If you are defeated, you will lose your family.
I happened to meet a benefactor because I helped a village woman.
This song is about Xifeng Wang's daughter Qiaojie.
In front of the verdict is "an abandoned shop where a beautiful woman is spinning". This implies that Qiaojie's final result is to be a hardworking and hardworking peasant woman.
Qiaojie is the only daughter of Wang Xifeng. The picture before the judgment suggests that she will marry a plowman and become a rural woman who cooks and textiles. How great a change it is to change from a rich and luxurious public servant to a peasant woman who feeds pigs and beats dogs! In the author's view, this is also a mockery of fate. According to the implication of Zhen's "Choose Frost Beams and Live in Smoke Alley", it is speculated that she will be sold to a brothel as a prostitute, and later rescued by Granny Liu, and married to Granny Liu's grandson. This speculation can be found in the book. In Chapter 41, Qiaojie and Banel exchange grapefruit and bergamot, which probably indicates their future relationship. Banel is a farmer's child. There is no doubt that he will become a farmer in the future. Only by marrying him can he spin and weave. Gao E also wrote that Jia Huan, Jia Yun and others set a trap to sell Qiaojie to the county king of a foreign vassal. Grandma Liu stole it from the countryside and married it to the son of a big landlord through a matchmaker (she is a scholar! ), and the author's intention is quite a distance.
"If you are defeated, you can't talk about your family." It is a lament for the coldness of the upper class and the indifference of the world. It's granny Liu, a poor old woman, who is always thinking of flooding in return, making people feel the good side of human nature.
Love the infinite illusion of love, and love will dominate her when it is satisfied.
If you talk nonsense, you will have honor. It's a good start to trouble.
This is about Qin Keqing.
Before the judgment, "high-rise painting, beam hanging beauty." This means that Qin Keqing's death was suicide.
Qin Keqing is the wife of Jia Rong, the satrap of Ningguo, and the daughter-in-law of Jia Zhen. She is "elegant, delicate, gentle and peaceful" and is the proudest person among the great-grandchildren of Jia Mu. The popular Dream of Red Mansions says that she got sick and died after long-term treatment. This is completely contradictory to the prediction of the verdict. "When love meets, it will lead to adultery", which means that she has feelings for men and women, so she "hanged herself". There is a comment on writing supporting Xianzhai, which has solved the mystery for us. Thirteen comments on JOE's "The Story of the Stone" said: "Qin Keqing mourned for Tianxianglou, and the author used a historical pen." This makes it clear that Qin Keqing hanged himself in Tianxianglou because of a scandal, which is consistent with the verdict and painting. The so-called "using the pen of history" means that the writing is unknown, but between the lines there is the meaning of derogating from evil, punishing evil and promoting good. Zhi Yanzhai is a very close person with Cao Xueqin. He thought he could give Ann a dream, but he could not accurately predict "Jia's funeral". He advised Ann to set aside a retrogression, which made Zhi Yanzhai "feel sad" and forgave him, so he ordered Cao Xueqin to delete the section "Yin Ai Tian Xiang Lou". Later, the author added the process of Qin Keqing's death due to illness. However, it has not been completely deleted, the content of "painting" before the judgment has not been rewritten, and the judgment has not moved. Other places in the book also left clues. For example, after the news of Qin Keqing's death in Chapter 13 came out, "at that time, the family knew everything and became suspicious". If a long illness is not cured, everyone is psychologically prepared. What are you "surprised" and "suspicious"? Therefore, it can be said with certainty that Qin Keqing fell voluntarily or forced, and died as a result. So who does she have with proper relationship? In the seventh episode, Jiao Da, a slave of Ningfu, was drunk and crazy, and scolded the truth: "I'm going to the ancestral temple to cry! I don't know anything about the birth of these animals. I steal chickens and dogs every day and climb the ashes in my brother-in-law's house! "This is Qin Keqing's grandfather Jia Zhen. When Qin Keqing died, "Jia Zhen cried like a crybaby". According to feudal etiquette, this is indecent. At this time, Jia Zhen's wife, You Shi, happened to be "sick in Japan and couldn't take care of the aftermath". In fact, it is ugly and can't get sick. Jia Zhen insisted on a very precious coffin and clapped her hands for the funeral of a young daughter-in-law. It's a strange thing to make a fuss and make a scene. Jolie, the maid, died after hitting a post. She was not "martyred" out of loyalty to her master, which must be related to Qin Keqing's abnormal death. Probably because he was afraid that Jia Zhen would be executed, he bumped into Jia Zhen's incest scandal and committed suicide.
A Dream of Red Mansions describes Jia Jiashui, Dai, Wen, Yu and Cao Dynasties. The first generation of Jia Yin and Jia Yuan were entrepreneurs, the second generation of Jia Daishan and Jia Daihua were businessmen, and the third generation of Jia Jing, Jia She and Jia Zheng were all straw bags and began to decline. The fourth generation of Jia Zhen and Jia Lian were arrogant and extravagant, and they did all kinds of evil and became scum worse than animals, not to mention the fifth generation of Jia Rong and Jia Qiang. The tragedy of A Dream of Red Mansions is, to a great extent, the tragedy of the feudal class without successors, and the tragedy of "each generation is worse than the next". The author writes about the decadent life of Jia Zhen's family here, not only to condemn this incestuous relationship, but to expose the all-round corruption from it.
