Is Qin Keqing the princess of Prince Zhong Yi's family?
Wen didn't appear much in A Dream of Red Mansions, but later he became a legend. Because of Qin Keqing's mysterious birth, it caused a lot of controversy and speculation. Liu, a great writer, said that he was a princess of the prince's family, which suddenly made this originally unremarkable figure red and purple. I still remember sitting in front of the TV in the lecture hall and listening to Liu's life. At that time, I just felt surprised and had a different kind of consciousness. Liu made it very clear, and I listened with great interest. Although many people later disagreed with Liu's statement, it made this figure shine from now on and attracted the attention of lovers of the Red Chamber. Qin Keqing's mystery comes from her life experience, her luxurious life before her death and her super-luxurious funeral after her death. Jia Baoyu walked into Qin Keqing's bedroom for the first time, only to see "a precious mirror set in Wu Zetian's mirror room that day, with a gold plate on which a swallow stood dancing, and An Lushan threw a papaya that hurt too much." There is a couch with Princess Shou Chang lying on it and a couplet made by Princess Chang ... "This description is extremely gorgeous. Whether figuratively or physically, in a word, it highlights that Qin Keqing, with Jia Zhen's love, lives a better life than everyone in the Jia family. It can be said that "people go to heaven, and heaven goes to heaven." "Search enough luxury? Jia Baoyu is already a collection of thousands of pets, right? But how can this compare with Qin Keqing, whose father-in-law is having an affair? Jia Zhen's love is really immeasurable! Whether it's the mirror of Wu Zetian, the golden plate of Zhao, the papaya thrown by An Lushan, the couch of Princess Shou Chang, and the pearl account of Princess Tongchang, they are all historical relics today, and they are priceless and even as rich as the enemy, comparable to the imperial palace. As far as objects are concerned, the four families have a very prominent position in A Dream of Red Mansions, so it is not too much to use these objects. The ninth five-year plan emperor was the tallest, so naturally he would not use the old things used by the ancients. Cultural relics are at most exhibits of the palace, while members of the royal family have to use new items carefully made by craftsmen at that time. Only by being unique can we show our royal status without losing our dignity. Therefore, it is not surprising that cultural relics are widely used by wealthy and wealthy families to show their wealth and noble status. However, in modern China, due to Eight-Nation Alliance's massacre, countless cultural relics and treasures were looted, and many cultural relics also flowed into the people. At that time, the houses of princes and nobles were also ransacked, and the scarcity of cultural relics naturally became precious later. However, it was far from this in the early Qing Dynasty. Princes and ministers not only enjoyed the imperial gifts given by the emperor, but also obtained these historical treasures reflecting their noble status through various channels. For example, buying, collecting through pawn shops, accepting bribes, extortion and so on. Jia She once forced Jia Lian to buy ancient fans because she liked them. According to Emperor Qianlong, the story of the Red Chamber is a "Pearl Family Event". Pearl was once an important minister under one person and above ten thousand people around Kangxi, ranking among the important ministers, and its family wealth can be imagined, which should be second only to that of the emperor. So the mandarin duck pillow, Wu Zetian's precious mirror, Zhao's golden plate and so on. Nature is not a rare thing for everyone's family. So is Ningfu, and so is Fu Rong? The furnishings of Ningguo Mansion are in Qin Keqing's room, while the treasures of Fu Rong are in the collection of the ancestor Jia Mu, so it is easy to hide. It is said that in the 1980s after A Dream of Red Mansions, there was a story about the theft of government treasures. Of course, we can also regard Qin's description of indoor furnishings as an image metaphor. This metaphor is naturally an extreme expression of Qin's luxury, and it is also the best aristocratic life that her father-in-law loves. Wu Zetian's precious mirror is not only exquisite in materials, but also beautifully made, so it is by no means an idle generation. Feiyan's gold plate is naturally not gold-plated, and it is definitely not suitable for Jia's status as a giant. An Lushan threw a real papaya, which was even more unusual. There is a sound outside the painting. The bed of the ancient princess was used at that time, and it is also an old thing. Metaphorically, it is brand-new and exquisite. In a big clan like Jia family, cultural relics are mostly used to show their identity, and they are definitely not used to show off their wealth. Therefore, judging from Qin Keqing's exhibition, the physical objects in metaphor are actually more luxurious than cultural relics. However, these articles are really not the level of the emperor's family at that time, nor can they compare with the princess who abandoned the prince. Even so, do as the Romans do. As Qin Keqing's secret identity, is it necessary to show off like this? Compared with the furnishings in Qin Keqing, the funeral after Qin Keqing's death has many puzzles. When Qin Keqing died, he was buried with the coffin of Yi Zhong Chitose Prince. It was because of Jia Zhen's heavy affection, but after all, the ancients still paid attention to hierarchy. But Jia Zhenlan broke the law! However, judging from the business relationship, Xue Pan and Jia Zhen are willing to buy one and sell one, and have no objection to reaching a deal. And after many years of funeral, no one mentioned it again. As for the third part of the Red Chamber, I'm afraid it's hard to speculate whether it will be dug up again! However, I feel that after a long time, no one wants to dig out of the grave to verify this illegal thing, so I have to turn a blind eye! In fact, not to mention the ancients, that is, now, how many things are so muddled along! Therefore, the coffin problem is not enough to explain Qin Keqing's identity. Qin Keqing's funeral scene is very grand, far from being comparable to Jia Jing's funeral, which also raises many questions. However, according to the funeral customs in China, some problems are not difficult to explain. There are three kinds of funerals in China: large, medium and small. There are many relatives in a big loss, but only the closest relatives in a small loss. Big losses are not like this. When I was a child, I still remember such a thing. One day, I suddenly received a funeral post. When my father and grandfather talked about this branch, they were actually close relatives who had not been in contact for many years! This is the reason for the massive loss of working relatives. Because the funeral is very complicated and particularly troublesome, the neighbors are disgusted. So funerals in the village are generally small and medium-sized, and I occasionally see one or two large funerals. A monk should be invited to have a big funeral. A paper crane stands high in front of the door, and the monk holds an extra-large gong, which will ring when you tap it gently. Of course, the red tape inside is indescribable. Because the Jia family organized such a large-scale funeral, it was naturally more colorful than ordinary people's homes. First of all, there are many monks and Taoists invited, and there are many relatives and friends. The Jia family has many times more servants than their masters. It is not difficult for Jia Zhen to organize a large-scale funeral youth league Committee. When looking for servants, "these twenty people are divided into two categories ... these thirty people are on duty in turn ... It can be seen that there are many servants in the Jia family, and their children are all people who can wear mourning clothes instead. "。 Imagine that all relatives who are not moved can move, not to mention the servant's family! "Only these forty-nine days, a white man came and went in Ningguofu Street ..." So this description is understandable. Jia Baoyu, the uncle of Jia Rong, naturally has a long generation, but there are also many close relatives of Jia Fu. These close relatives also include Jia Rong's peers and younger generations, and of course they all have the possibility of wearing white clothes. "There is a town cow, the grandson of Qing Dynasty, attacking the first class, ruling the country by Liu Biao, attacking the first class Liu Fang, the grandson of Chen Yi, the grandson of Qi Guogong, the general Chen, the grandson of ruling the country, the general, the grandson of Hou Mingzhi, and the first class Hou Xiaokang; After the death of Lord protector, his grandson Shi Guangzhu's filial piety never came ... "These are naturally distant relatives of the Jia family, and they are all noble juniors, which is also in line with the funeral level. King Jing of Beijing came to offer his condolences, but he is still young, that is to say, he is not yet twenty years old or an adult. "As soon as I finished, I put on plain clothes, came in in a big sedan chair with a gong and an umbrella, and got off the sedan chair in front of the shed." King Jing wore plain clothes, not mourning clothes. As for the four kings' sacrificial shed, it is just a form of showing identity. The sacrifice of the Four Kings was just a formality, which gave Jia Zhenchong a face. They don't have to salute, so this is a point. "Only these forty-nine days, the streets of Ningguofu ... the flower cluster officials went to the official." Qin Keqing's funeral mentioned official contacts, not necessarily condolences, but possibly condolences. The "flower cluster" is definitely not an official uniform and cannot reflect the identity of an official. However, "officials go to officials to come" is the author's narrative, which does not mean that wearing official clothes is to show identity. The author can tell readers that these people dressed in colorful clothes are officials, and of course it is not easy to distinguish between readers and audiences. Jia Zhen is an official of the imperial court with the doctrine, while Qin Keqing's father is a battalion officer. Both of them have official duties, so naturally they will curry favor with their subordinates. We can imagine the number of these three types of officials. The Qing dynasty sold officials and titles seriously, and began to go crazy during the Qianlong period. The number of officials is countless. However, Jia Zhen's father, Jia Jing, is still alive, and it's really against common sense for Qin Keqing's funeral to be so big. Jia Zhen's sentimental behavior shows how absurd it is, and it is indeed ridiculous. Of course, at Qin Keqing's funeral, Jia Baoyu was not allowed to wear mourning because of his elders. At most, I'm wearing plain clothes like King Bei Jing. Perhaps it is Jia Baoyu's romantic feelings. When Qin died, "I just felt that I couldn't bear to kill a knife. Wow, I sprayed one mouthful blood straight into my mouth ... "Jia's doting on Baoyu was naturally frightened by the" one mouthful blood ",perhaps in order to eliminate disasters and avoid disasters, so he wore mourning clothes to show his sincerity. Therefore, from the analysis of Qin Keqing's past funerals, you can't see the princess status of Qin Keqing. However, Qin Keqing in the novel was brought out from Yangshengtang, and her natural identity is also a mystery! From the perspective of novels, Qin Keqing's stories can be compiled or interpreted at will. Liu's statement that she is a crown princess can certainly be established, because the life experience of the characters in the novel is uncertain, and there is no reference for the third red chamber. The author can give her everything, and the reader can imagine at will. However, arbitrarily exaggerating the identity image of "abandoned child" and "princess" was not allowed in the imperial society at that time, which Cao Xueqin must pay attention to when writing a book. In my opinion, the mystery of Qin Keqing's identity is not the main line of A Dream of Red Mansions, so there is no need for the author to risk the world for this character. So I think it doesn't matter whether Qin Keqing is a princess in A Dream of Red Mansions. Teacher Liu can reveal that Qin Keqing's prototype is the princess of the abandoned prince's family, but there is no need to dig so extreme for the characters in the novel. However, Mr. Liu's idea is very novel, which greatly enhances its value in the eyes of the world. It is also unique in the study of A Dream of Red Mansions and has its special significance. The Red Chamber has always been a place where a hundred schools of thought contend. Whether we agree or disagree with other people's views, we should look at things in a neutral way and realize the value and significance of other people's theories, rather than completely denying them.
