A brief introduction to a dream of red mansions.
About the author: Cao Xueqin, Manchu, a great writer in China in Qing Dynasty, was born in 1724 and died in 1763. His ancestral home is Tangshan, Hebei (Tieling, Liaoning, Liaoyang, Liaoning). Cao Xueqin grew up in splendor. Its predecessor was the Han nationality, and later it was the Manchu Zhengbaiqi (domestic slave). Cao Xueqin's great-grandfather won an official position because of his meritorious service in entering the customs with the Qing army. Cao Xueqin's great-grandfather Cao Xi, his grandfather Cao Yin, and his parents Cao Qing and Cao Fu worked as Jiangning weavers for more than 60 years, which was highly prized by Emperor Kangxi. Therefore, Cao Jia became a "century-old family" with rich resources at that time; In the early years of Yongzheng, due to the intervention of the internal struggle of the ruling class, the Cao family suffered many blows, was dismissed and imprisoned, and their property was confiscated, and their family returned to Beijing. Since then, his family has been going downhill. This turning point made Cao Xueqin deeply feel the coldness of the world and more clearly realize the essence of the social system. From then on, he lived in poverty, but he was good at writing and devoted himself to the writing and revision of the novel A Dream of Red Mansions. He read it for ten years, added and deleted it five times, and wrote this literary masterpiece that pushed China's classical novel creation to the peak. In the twenty-seventh year of Qianlong (1762), the youngest son died young, and Cao Xueqin was heartbroken. This year's New Year's Eve (1763 February 1) was filled with poverty and illness (Cao Xueqin died on New Year's Eve in the twenty-eighth year of Qianlong (1763), and Qin died with tears. I cried tears, and the funeral expenses were funded by my friends. The earliest existing manuscripts can be traced back to the reign of Xu Jia in Qianlong (1754), but there are only 16 discontinuous manuscripts. Later, a number of manuscripts were discovered, the most important of which was that of Gan Long Chen Geng (1760), which is now 78 times. These manuscripts are titled "The Story of the Stone", and there are many comments signed by "Zhi Yanzhai" and others, so they are also called "Fat Comments" or "Fat Books" for short. Why fat books appear and spread is still controversial.

Content abstract: The first eighty chapters of the original work: Nu Wa tried to make up the sky by refining stones, leaving an unused stone, which was abandoned at the foot of Geng Qingfeng on the barren cliff of the big barren mountain. This stone "has been tempered and spiritualized", and often feels sad and remorse because it has not been selected to fill the sky. One day, a large number of monks and Taoists passed by here, begging for barren hills, green mountains, peaks and cliffs across rocks.

Time and again, the two immortals knew that they couldn't force it, so they "reduced it to the size of a fan pendant and could wear it" and promised to take it to that "prosperous country, home of poetry and ceremony, land of flowers and flowers, land of tenderness and wealth, and live and work in peace and contentment". I don't know how many times I have been robbed, but when I saw its experience carved on a stone, I copied it from beginning to end and gave it to Cao Xueqin to read it carefully, add, delete and make chapters. Here are the things carved on the stone. There is a gourd temple outside Nagato in Gusu. Zhen Zhen, a town official (homophonic "truth is hidden") lives near the temple, and the poor Confucian who lives in the temple (homophonic "empty language exists") becomes like-minded friends with him and gives him money to catch up on the exam. On the night of Lantern Festival, Zhen's daughter Zhen (homophonic "Zhen Xi") was abducted, and soon Zhen's family was burned down because of the fire in Hulu Temple. Zhen brought his wife to the father-in-law who was looked down upon. His father-in-law is a stingy and greedy man who keeps all the money he has left for himself. Really "Anger and Sadness" and "Poverty and Disease" are really desperate. One day, he was walking on crutches in the street when he suddenly saw a lame Taoist coming and mumbling something. Yin Shi listened, asked someone, knew it was a "good song", and then explained the answer to "good song". After being instructed by the Taoist priest, I was completely disillusioned and became a monk with the lame Taoist priest. Jinshi Jia Yucun was appointed as county magistrate. Being greedy for coolness and bullying others, she was hated, impeached by her boss, and was dismissed. She went to Lin Ruhai to tutor Lin Daiyu to study. Workers returning from Beijing. Jia Yucun turned to Lin Ruhai for help in Guo Rongfu, Yuegu, just as Lin Ruhai's mother-in-law, Jia Mu, had to take Daiyu to her side because of her husband's death. Lin Ruhai asked Jia Yucun to send Daiyu to Beijing. Jia Yucun is connected with the Guo Rong family. With the help of Lin Ruhai's brother-in-law, Jia Zheng, he was appointed as Yingtianfu in Jinling. When Daiyu entered the mansion, in addition to Jia Mu, she also met her great aunt, namely Mrs. Xing, the wife of Jia She, and her second aunt, namely Mrs. Wang, the wife of Jia Zheng, her niece, Mrs. Wang, the young housekeeper, Wang Xifeng, the wife of Jia Lian, the son of Jia She, and Jia Tanchun, Jia Xichun and Jia Baoyu. Baodai and Baodai felt deja vu at first sight, but Baoyu smashed his psychic Baoyu because he saw that Lin Daiyu, a beautiful cousin, had no jade and thought that jade was ignorant of people, causing an unhappiness. When Jia Yucun tried the case in Tianfu, she found Lien Win had been kidnapped. The buyer is Xue Pan, the son of Aunt Xue, the sister of Mrs. Wang, and the home of Imperial Merchants. Although Xue Pan killed the original buyer for Lian Ying, Jia Yucun settled the matter for Xue Pan with only a few taels of silver. Xue Pan and his mother and sister Xue Baochai also went to live in Guo Rongfu in Kyoto. Plum blossoms are in full bloom in Ningguo Mansion, and Jia Zhen's wife, You Shi, invited Jia Mu and others to enjoy the plum blossoms. Jia Baoyu took a nap and lived in Qin Keqing Jia Zhen's daughter-in-law's bedroom, dreaming. He watched the album Twelve Women in Jinling, listened to the song A Dream of Red Mansions, and had sex with the fairy Ke Qing. After waking up, wet dream was discovered by the maid and they had sex. Wang Gou, a descendant of Beijing officials, has been reduced to farming in the countryside. Because the ancestors had been married to Mrs. Wang and Xifeng's family, they asked grandma Liu to go to Guo Rongfu to ask Mrs. Wang for a windfall. Wang Xifeng accepted it and gave twenty taels of silver. Xue Baochai once received a monk's golden lock and has been wearing it ever since. Daiyu was jealous of the idea of a good marriage and often secretly laughed at Baochai and warned Baoyu. Jia Zhen's father, Jia Jing, abandoned his official position and left home to seek immortality. On his birthday, Jia Zhen held a banquet at home to celebrate. Because of Lin Ruhai's illness, Jia Lian took Daiyu to Gusu, and his brother Jia Rui molested Xifeng, who teased him and died. Qin Keqing died of illness. Yuan Chun, Jia Zheng's eldest daughter, was named as the minister of Fengzao Palace and a virtuous princess, and the emperor was allowed to visit his mother. In order to welcome this grand ceremony, Guo Rongfu built an extremely luxurious Grand View Garden, and also purchased actresses, nuns, Taoist priests, and Miaoyu, who was born in a famous family and entered Guo Rongfu due to illness. On the night of Lantern Festival, Yuan Chun went back to her mother's house for a while and asked Baoyu and other sisters to present poems. Daiyu wanted to show her talents, but she was ordered to write only one song, which was deeply regrettable. Baoyu said that Xiren should not be allowed to take the opportunity to persuade Baoyu to study in the future. "Serious business." Baoyu and Daiyu are young and affectionate. Because of Xue Baochai or other trivial matters. They often quarrel, and their feelings get deeper and deeper in constant quarrels.

The newly painted comic book "A Dream of Red Mansions" (20) Baochai sings on her birthday, because like Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun, the granddaughter of Jiafu, quickly said that Baoyu was afraid of Daiyu's anger and stopped her, making both of them angry with Baoyu. Yuan Chun is worried that the Grand View Garden will be idle. So Baoyu and his sisters moved in. Baoyu went into the garden and hung out with these girls all day; Yan Ming, an extremely bookish, stole books such as The West Chamber into the garden and gave them to Baoyu, who and Daiyu enjoyed them together. Baoyu's brother Jia Huan is jealous of Baoyu. When he copied the scriptures, he accidentally dropped a candle and burned Baoyu to death. Mrs. Wang cursed Aunt Zhao. Aunt Zhao hated Feng, so she asked Ma Daopo to kill Feng and Baoyu by magic. Monks and lame Taoist priests rubbed psychic jade and saved them. Daiyu was melancholy, and the flowers were sad in late spring, so she buried them, calling them "Hua Zhong" and writing "Burying Flowers". Qing Wen, Baoyu's maid, dropped a fan and broke it. Baoyu told her. She contradicts others. She is sarcastic. She was so angry that Baoyu wanted to kick her out. Qingwen enjoys the cool in the evening. Baoyu told her to tear the fan to make her laugh. Once Shi Xiangyun advised Baoyu to learn to be an official and talk about his career. Baoyu grabbed the white, saying that Daiyu never said such a bastard; Daiyu happened to pass by, and I was very happy to hear it. Jin Chuaner, Lady Wang's maid, molested Baoyu and was driven down to the well and died. Jia Huan falsely accused Baoyu of attempted rape. Baoyu also made friends with an actor that Wang Ye liked, which made Wang Ye send someone to look for him. Jia Zheng was furious and beat Jia Baoyu to pieces. Mrs. Wang asked xiren, and xiren made a suggestion to Mrs. Wang, which won her favor and was regarded as a confidant by Mrs. Wang, asking her to report the situation at any time. Decided that Xiren would be Baoyu's concubine in the future. With nothing to do in the Grand View Garden, Tan Chun advocated the establishment of a poetry club, each with its own name. Sing for the first time and win the championship; The second time I wrote a chrysanthemum poem, Princess Xiaoxiang overwhelmed everyone. Granny Liu entered Guo Rongfu, and when Grandmother Jia found out, she lived there. Diners who hold a banquet in the Grand View Garden and make fun of their daughters; Granny Liu used this to tease Grandmother Jia. Grandmother Jia took Granny Liu to visit the Grand View Garden. In the jade palace, Miaoyu entertained Daiyu and Baochai for tea, and Baoyu also got a little. Because of drinking, Daiyu quoted a few poems from The West Chamber. Baochai noticed and persuaded her, and their relationship improved. Daiyu understood Baochai's kindness and was a little worried. Dai Yu wrote "Autumn Window Storm" to express her sadness. Jia She took a fancy to Jia's maid Yuanyang and asked Mrs. Xing to find Jia. Yuanyang refused, and neither did Grandmother Jia. She only scolded Mrs. Xing. The relationship between Jia Mu and Jia She is even worse. At a banquet, Xue Pan molested Liu, who was good at singing and dancing and generous, and was afraid of retaliation, and fled to other places. Xue Pan lost face and went out to do business. His concubine Xiang Ling (Lian Ying) went to the Grand View Garden to study poetry. Several girls from relatives came to the Grand View Garden to make poems and quizzes, which was an unprecedented excitement and joy. Xiren went home because her mother was ill. Qingwen caught a cold at night and burned herself very hot. Baoyu celebrated his uncle's birthday, and Grandmother Jia gave him a sparrow gold robe made of peacock hair by a Russian tailor. He accidentally burned a hole. When I come back at night, the tailor on the street can't make it up. Wen Jing had a serious illness and recovered overnight. Daiyu's maid, Zi Juan, tested Baoyu's sincerity to Daiyu, assuming that Daiyu would return to Gusu, but Baoyu believed it and was insane. As a result, Daiyu understood Baoyu's psychology better, and everyone thought they would get married happily. Daiyu wanted to recognize Aunt Xue as a godmother, and they reached the most harmonious period. Baoyu was celebrating his birthday when Jia Jing Tundan died. You Jia was busy with the funeral, so she asked her mother, You Erjie and You Sanjie for help. Jia Lian sees the second sister is beautiful, wants to be a mistress, and lives outside. Second sister and Jia Zhen are not innocent, Jia Zhen wants to make waves, and Jia Lian wants to play with Third Sister for Jia Zhen's sake. You Sanjie was awed and cursed Jane and Lian. She already has a lover, that is, Liu Xianglian who defeated Xue Pan. Jia She told Jia Lian to go out on business, and also told Jia Lian, Lu Yu and Xue Pan to go out on business. Xue Pan met a robber and was rescued by Liu. They became brothers. Jia Lian took the opportunity to act as matchmaker for Liu, and Liu agreed. After arriving in Beijing, Liu Xian gave Third Sister's mother a dowry. Baoyu became suspicious while chatting with you. He went to ask for a gift to end his marriage. You Sanjie committed suicide and Liu became a monk. Xifeng knew about Jia Lian's stealing marriage, pretended to be virtuous and took Second Sister into the yamen. Please ask Jia Mu and others to agree. Jia Lian returned with another concubine. Xifeng borrowed my concubine's hand and forced Second Sister You to swallow gold and commit suicide. Lady Wang was furious when she found a sachet embroidered with erotic palace pictures in the garden. When Wang Shanbao's family urged him to check the Grand View Garden, Wang Xifeng was in command, and Xichun was timid. When he saw the socks of the man (with his cousin) found in Xichun's box, he shouted indiscriminately that he would be punished for taking part in the painting. When Wang Xifeng said that he could forgive him for taking part in the painting, Xichun couldn't tell her to take part in it. Tanchun is indignant and thinks that property is an ominous sign. Later, because Wang Shanbao's family stripped her clothes, she was furious and slapped Wang Shanbao's family. At this time, Xichun broke off contact with her brother and sister-in-law. Qingwen was unfairly driven out by Mrs. Wang on the grounds of "good Baoyu" and "being seduced by this hoof" and died with regret; Jia Baoyu is very helpless. He heard from my little daughter that Qingwen wrote "Daughter of Lotus" as a sacrifice after she became the goddess of Lotus. After Xue Pan and her marriage, at Xia's instigation, Xue severely beat Xiangling, but Aunt Xue refused. Xia Jingui quarreled with her mother-in-law. Xue Pan can't be at home. Had to go out.

Comments on the main figures: Jia Baoyu

Jia Baoyu is a strange and vulgar figure. The main feature of his character is rebellion, and his behavior is "unreachable and perverse", so he is a rebel in ancient society. He despises fame and fortune and is unwilling to take the official career of "learning to be excellent and becoming an official". He hates stereotyped writing, insults the "traitors" who study and are officials, and is too lazy to meet them. He doesn't like so-called "serious books", but prefers "miscellaneous books" and loves Peony Pavilion and The West Chamber. He also boldly questioned Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism, thinking that "there are too many fabrications except the Four Books", which fully shows that he is the "rebellious son and second minister" of absolute monarchy.

He believes that "the beauty of mountains, rivers, the sun and the moon is only for daughters, and men with beards are just scum." Under the guidance of this shocking thought, Baoyu "wandered around at home" all day, loving and pitying girls, loving their beauty, purity, exuberance and intelligence, pitying their unfortunate experiences, and pitying them for marrying smelly men and losing their holy beauty. Jia Baoyu said: "A woman was a pearl before she got married, but after she got married, she lost her light and became a dead pearl. If she is old, she will walk with dirty men and become a dead fish eye. " He even felt irreparable regret for having a man.

In his life, the most important thing is undoubtedly his love with Lin Daiyu. This love, on the one hand, began with rebellious character, on the other hand, it promoted the final formation of his rebellious character. This is the biggest and most important treason in his life history. In love, Bao and Dai not only demand marital autonomy, but also deviate from the lifestyle of traditional society. They went further and further on the road of rebellion, which eventually led to their tragic ending.

Lin Daiyu

Lin Daiyu's characteristics can be summarized as "sad beauty". "Sadness" is mainly manifested in Lin Daiyu's "bleak life experience, delicate and sickly", while "beauty" is manifested in "extension, connotation and art" The combination of the two forms the tragic image of Lin Daiyu's "sad beauty". (Daiyu is actually a fairy grass)

When I first met Daiyu, the author did not directly draw her beauty, but skillfully used Xifeng's mouth and Baoyu's eyes to highlight Lin Daiyu's peerless beauty. When Feng, who spoke frankly, saw Daiyu's appearance, she could not help admiring: "There are such handsome people in the world! I just saw it today! " In Baoyu's eyes, "two bends are like frowns, a pair of weeping eyebrows are like weeping eyes (one says: affectionate eyes), and two are sad." I am sick all over, tears are a little, my breath is a little breathless, my leisure is like beautiful flowers shining on water, my actions are like weak willows, my heart is dry, and my illness is like calligraphy. " What a "daughter" and "fairy sister"! At this point, a living "beauty" of Daiyu has jumped from the page, which is Lin Daiyu's "external sadness".

Lin Daiyu is sensitive and kind. On the one hand, her dependence on others makes her always cautious when dealing with people, forming a mentality of "fear of being looked down upon"; On the other hand, the narrow-mindedness of a girl with a heart and wisdom can add something "smart and lovely" to her, thus making the role of Lin Daiyu more vivid, vivid and touching. This is the genius of the author. In most literary works, the author often praises the positive characters too much, which makes the protagonist almost deified, leading to the characterization divorced from real life and becoming empty, boring and silent. In terms of Daiyu's kindness, we can also see it from her words with Baochai. Although they were tired of love and had some friction on weekdays, she later treated Baochai "ten times better than others" and regarded Baochai as her thoughtfulness. Furthermore, we can see the kindness and weakness in her heart from her teaching Xiangling's poems "teaching people tirelessly" and her burying flowers.

Xue Baochai

One of the twelve women in Jinling, the daughter of Aunt Xue. She looks beautiful and refined, and looks like a model of an orthodox lady at that time, but she has a cynical personality factor in her bones. She has a strong critical spirit to the society at that time. The 38th Ode to a Crab sharply satirizes Jia Yucun and other tyrannical officialdom figures. And her favorite lyrics are actually a lonely, angry and rebellious rich man. The traditional view is that Xue Baochai is "shrewd, won the hearts of the people and won the praise of the Jia family", but the author also expressed his views from Aunt Zhao. After Jinchuan's death, only the words "only send a few taels of silver" showed her ruthlessness to the lowly people, but in the 22nd novel, her plan fell through. Baochai once wrote a poem "More Fragrant Mystery", which caused Jia Zheng's great disappointment: "It is even more ominous for a little person to say such a thing, and no one will live forever." On the 40th trip, when Grandmother Jia visited the Grand View Garden with Granny Liu, the interior furnishings of Baochai Garden were simple, which caused great dissatisfaction of Grandmother Jia, who thought it was a disgrace to her relatives. For Baochai, Grandmother Jia said "Stop it", "Stop it", "Don't be too detached" and "Our old lady is going to live in the stable more and more". -All negative comments. At the "Guo Rongfu Lantern Festival" at that time, the grandmother ordered her beloved four people, Baoqin, Xiangyun, Daiyu and Baoyu, to sit at the main table with her, but only pushed Baochai out of the main table and sat with Wen Li and Li Qi. This was an important sign that Baochai changed from "favored" to "out of favor" in front of the grandmother. If she is really "shrewd and popular", why did she end up like this? It can be seen that in Cao Xueqin's original work, Baochai is not a person who plays with "talent" to please his parents!

Jiamu

Jia Daishan's wife was a young lady in Jinling before her marriage. In Jia's family, I started with my great-grandson daughter-in-law until I had my great-grandson daughter-in-law. She got the position of Jia's parents by virtue of her cleverness. She likes her granddaughter and dotes on her grandson Baoyu. We can see from the first 80 chapters that Jia supports Baochai's love, but the sequel says that Jia does not support Baoyu and Daiyu's love. Her thoughts are also influenced by Baoyu and Daiyu, and she has some avant-garde thoughts. In a word, Jia Mu can be respected by everyone, which shows that her position cannot be ignored and she is capable.

Wang Xifeng

Everyone knows that Wang Xifeng is vicious. As the "general manager" of Fu Rong, she plays politics. She killed Jia Rui with a poisonous trick and plotted to force Second Sister You to death. She was mean by nature and finally killed the whole family. She has a fiery personality, and I never forget to point this out in my article. Just like on her birthday, it is enough to have a conflict with Bao's daughter-in-law and ask the old lady for help. But after all, she is very capable and smart. She has the final say in all the affairs of Rongfu, and she is good at catering to it, which won the favor of the old lady. Her fundamental purpose is to collect money. Aunt Zhao once said, "I'm not a human being unless this half of my fortune allows her to move to her parents' house."

Shi Xiangyun

Shi Xiangyun, the fifth of the twelve women in Jinling, is the granddaughter of Jia Mu's younger brother. Among many sisters, she has a unique "daughter body, masculinity", open-minded, open-minded and frank. She dared to wear men's clothes and laugh, and was jokingly described by Daiyu as "more beautiful than her daughter's clothes". She dared to roast venison with wine and confidently said that "real celebrities have romantic lives". She even dared to get drunk in a peony garden and never forget to recite poems, showing a real woman's quick thinking, charming and romantic beauty. Who wouldn't find such a role particularly cute?

Jia Tanchun

Jia Tanchun, the third of the twelve women in Jinling, is the daughter of Jia Zheng and his concubine, Aunt Zhao-she is not as delicate and compassionate as Daiyu, as clever as Baochai, as lively and cheerful as Xiangyun, but she has extraordinary talent, great wisdom, profound insight and far-sighted vision, which is brilliantly demonstrated in Chapter 56, "Being sensitive in exploring spring to promote benefits, eliminating the disadvantages of lodging, and knowing Baochai's small benefits".

qin ke qing

Qin Keqing, one of the twelve women in Jinling, is also known as the police magic fairy and the police magic fairy. Jia Rong's wife is the daughter adopted by Qin Bangye, a doctor in the camp, from Yangshengtang. Her nickname is Kerr, and her name is both pleasant and pleasant. She is graceful, delicate and romantic, gentle and peaceful, and won the favor of Jia Mu and others. However, her father-in-law Jia Zhen had an ambiguous relationship with her, which led to her early death.

Writing characteristics: make good use of homophones and foreshadowing. The description of the characters is exquisite. Use a lot of styles, such as poems, songs and couplets.
