Qin Keqing's life experience is the focus of the author's attention. First of all, Mr. Liu, judging from the marital status of people from all walks of life in Jiafu, it is obviously not true that he is an adopted son. The marriage of the four aristocratic families in Jinling is exquisite, and the right match is the first prerequisite for them to choose marriage, which can be read from many details. Jia Rong, as the heir to the title, can't go against Jia's family concept and take away his adopted daughter-in-law. Grandmother claimed that Qin Keqing was the first grandson. Qin Keqing was adopted, which can only be a cover-up. Qin Keqing's position in Jia's family is higher than Jia's, so she should not be an ordinary woman. From Qin Keqing's bedroom decoration, Qin Keqing's style, Jia Fu including Jia Mu, Xifeng Wang, Jia Zhen, and Jia Zhen's daughter-in-law's attitude towards Qin Keqing, Qin Keqing gave Xifeng Wang a dream that "after the third spring, the fragrance died, and each got its own door", and so on. This means that Qin Keqing's identity is unusual. Qin Keqing's death is a mystery. Got a strange disease and suddenly hanged himself. The coffin she slept in after death clearly revealed her true identity. She was the daughter of Prince Yin Yong, who was abolished twice during the reign of Kangxi. In order to escape from prison, the secret was fostered in Cao's home. In the novel, Qin Keqing's father, Qin Ye, is just a homonym with evil spirits, which is an artistic technique well used by Cao Xueqin in the novel.

Liu zai's mystery of life

Recently, I watched a series of lectures on the mystery of Mr. Liu's life. Although I can't say that I have any research on A Dream of Red Mansions, I can't compare with Liu's "Grinding a Sword in Ten Years", but I still think there are many untrue places in Mr. Liu's view, especially his conclusion that "the prototype of Qin Keqing was after Kangxi abolished Prince Yin".

First of all, if A Dream of Red Mansions was written by Cao Xueqin or others in the Cao family, it can be said that A Dream of Red Mansions is an autobiographical novel with practical significance and political background. I believe that many characters in the novel are prototypes, but does it mean that all characters in the novel must have prototypes? The answer is obviously no, it is a novel anyway, and all kinds of characters are needed to enrich themselves. For example, if we also use the research method of "bold hypothesis and careful verification", we think that Qin Keqing is a fictional character without realistic prototype, and her appearance serves for novel creation, we can also find a lot of evidence.

Mr. Liu's main argument is the unusual funeral and its internal connection with Zhongjun and Doctor Zhang Youshi. I don't deny that there may be politics behind the above characters, and they do have indescribable connections with them, but this is obviously not enough to infer that Qin is also a participant in the real political situation. Because there is another explanation: Qin Keqing was originally designed to draw out these political figures and historical events. This method of using fictional characters to draw out real characters is very clever and the safest. I don't need to tell you what would happen if it were written entirely as a real person in the Qing Dynasty. As for the funeral, there is no evidence that it is illegal. Qin Keqing is different from Jia Jing. Jia Jing is much taller than Qin Keqing in the family, but as far as national etiquette is concerned, Qin has an imperial envoy and Jia Jing is. Therefore, it is necessary to ask the emperor for instructions. (Ordinary officials don't need to ask for instructions, just follow the rules. Of course, there are also some special circumstances, such as the general fighting outside and the death of his father, which need to be decided by decree), which are not determined by the status within the family.

Of course, Qin Keqing plays more than one role in the novel (note that it is in the novel rather than in the real life of the Cao family). For example, at the beginning of the book, she told the readers the tragic ending of the book from her mouth. She also played an important role in the formation of the hero Jia Baoyu's outlook on life together with the police fairy in the dreamland. In fact, Mr. Liu deliberately avoided the relationship with Jia Baoyu.

The most direct evidence to support the above view is the description of Qin Keqing's bedroom: "In the case, there was a precious mirror set in the mirror room of Wu Zetian that day, and there was a golden plate danced by Yan Fei. In the dish, there are papaya spilled by An Lushan, Princess Shou Chang lying on the couch of His Royal Highness Zhang Han, and Princess Tongchang's lotus beads hanging. " Mr. Liu just thinks that several people mentioned in this description are related to the royal family, so they are also related to the royal family. If we don't stick to these people, we will find that this description is about things rather than people. What does this mirror, golden plate, papaya and bill stand for? It represents the important things that play the role of props and introductions in the legends of these characters. These things are in Qin Keqing's bedroom. Is the author telling us that Qin Keqing, like these things, plays the role of a prop and an introduction in this book? The reason why it is so unreal is that Qin is not a real person.

Another important reason why Mr. Liu thinks that the prototype is the royal family is that the description of Qin in the book seems to be higher than the description of Jia family, especially in the dream of Xifeng's death. But this is also a matter of opinion. In the tradition of China, the status of the dead is relatively high, and the plot of giving a lesson to the living in a dream after death is found in many novels, not to mention that Qin Keqing is a fairy. Will she return to her dream? This point is clearly explained in the book: Jia Baoyu met Wang Zhongjing, the king of Beijing, and said, "The deceased is already in fairyland, and he is no longer a human being." .....

"In the tradition of China, if there is no past practice, it is not that a person dies and goes to the fairyland, but should go to the underworld, although she has a high status (such as a royal family).

In fact, the author didn't shy away from the fact that Qin Keqing was a fictional character, so she died shortly after finishing the task in the book. Of course, the revision of her death novel has become a mystery, but how she died is not important. It's just that it's too clear and suspicious. Sometimes we look at complex things as simple, but sometimes we look at simple things as complicated.

Finally, Mr. Liu thinks that the idea of being smuggled out of the country after being banned is too serious. Not to mention the difficulty of smuggling, it is still possible if it is a boy, because in the feudal society of China, even in the royal family, the status of boys and girls is completely different. What's the point of a girl taking such a big risk to send it out? If it was to save the child's life, I'm afraid I wouldn't do it, because the girl's head and Kangxi never meant to kill anyone, let alone copy her own son, even if she copied a girl with a door according to the rules. If contacting the foreign minister is intended to make a comeback, there is no need to send the children. Besides, it's not Cao's turn to see them off. Cao Yin is a confidant of Kangxi, but in any case, he is just a weaver girl, a job with oil and water but no real power, and he has little influence on the Korean Bureau, and many of Kangxi's cronies have made friends with Yin people. For example, the commander of the infantry, Tuo, and the minister of the household, Wang Shang, etc. You are more qualified to send these people.
