It is an indisputable fact that A Dream of Red Mansions was edited. Cao Xueqin, the author, and Zhi Yanzhai, the editor, have repeatedly disclosed that in the creation of A Dream of Red Mansions, the content was deleted for some inexplicable reason. In the careful interpretation of A Dream of Red Mansions, an obvious trace of deletion is Chapter 13 (key point). Zhi Yanzhai clearly pointed out that four or five leaves were deleted this time, and the thirteenth time was about Qin Keqing's sudden suicide by hanging himself and Wang Xifeng's assistant's funeral in Ningguo. When talking about the mystery of adoption, Mr. Liu put forward a point. He thinks that when Cao Xueqin was writing A Dream of Red Mansions, for some inexplicable reason, he deleted the words about Qin Keqing's real life in Chapter 13. In order to make this character more perfect, the author had to put a patch at the end of the eighth chapter to explain Qin Keqing's life experience, so the eighth chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions had signs of being supplemented with words about Qin Keqing's life experience. What does this have to do with revealing Qin Keqing's true identity?
Mr. Liu once mentioned a branch of redology in Revealing a Dream of Red Mansions, which means that Dream of Red Mansions is a multi-version work. Most of the early manuscripts were called "The Story of the Stone", and there were some differences in various versions. By studying these differences, we can find the original intention of Cao Xueqin. Some versions of the variant text may be due to the transcriber's hand error, but some are artificially misinterpreted. These misinterpretations and mistakes will make readers misunderstand the characters in A Dream of Red Mansions. In various versions of A Dream of Red Mansions, are there any different opinions about the role of Qin Keqing? In Qi's Story of the Stone, a word-pre-wisdom poem, which has been deleted in other versions, was found. This pre-wise poem reflects the true writing intention of Cao Xueqin, and the author reveals the true identity of Qin Keqing.
Liu, a famous writer, is a guest in Lecture Room and continues to tell the story behind it.

It is an indisputable fact that A Dream of Red Mansions was edited. Cao Xueqin, the author, and Zhi Yanzhai, the editor, have repeatedly disclosed that in the creation of A Dream of Red Mansions, the content was deleted for some inexplicable reason. In the careful interpretation of A Dream of Red Mansions, an obvious trace of deletion is Chapter 13 (key point). Zhi Yanzhai clearly pointed out that four or five leaves were deleted this time, and the thirteenth time was about Qin Keqing's sudden suicide by hanging himself and Wang Xifeng's assistant's funeral in Ningguo. When talking about the mystery of adoption, Mr. Liu put forward a point. He thinks that when Cao Xueqin was writing A Dream of Red Mansions, for some inexplicable reason, he deleted the words about Qin Keqing's real life in Chapter 13. In order to make this character more perfect, the author had to put a patch at the end of the eighth chapter to explain Qin Keqing's life experience, so the eighth chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions had signs of being supplemented with words about Qin Keqing's life experience. What does this have to do with revealing Qin Keqing's true identity?
As we all know, 13' s story about her death has been deleted as many as four or five pages. What exactly are these four or five pages written? Some people speculate that it must be the love affair between Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing, so I must write this. I also think there must be this content, but is it just this content? I think it must be more than that. If it was just this content, Cao Xueqin wouldn't have deleted it. Zhi Yanzhai gave him advice and he deleted it. Impossible, because in A Dream of Red Mansions, he sometimes wrote some erotic scenes according to the needs of plot and characterization, but he didn't delete them. Therefore, it can be judged that there are political contents that must be deleted in the deleted 4 or 5 pages, which leads to the strange reaction of the two girls. One is Jolie. After Qin Keqing died, she touched a pillar and died. If she just saw her master fooling around, how could she touch the post and die? And sometimes the masters of those noble families are indifferent. You are my servant. I did it in front of you. What can you do? Everyone is used to watching it. Remember the plot? Jia Jing is dead, and Jia Jing Tundan is dead. At that time, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong were not at home, and You Shi came to take care of the funeral. Later, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong rode back, and Jia Rongxian came back. There was a long paragraph describing them, because You Sanjie, the second sister, was his aunt, but he was very disrespectful, because both of them were not very old and beautiful, and he still remembered that the servant next to me advised him. After all, he is a menstruating generation. Jia Rong said you were right. Let's kiss first. What I'm talking about now is not the original text, but the general plot, remember? Hug me and kiss me. In feudal families, the master had the supreme status, especially the male master. He doesn't shy away from these girls. If he only had an affair with Qin Keqing and had pornographic descriptions, Jolie wouldn't die when he saw something. Jolie must have heard something he shouldn't have heard. If it should never be heard, it should be a leak of the real origin of Qin Keqing, and it should be political information, so Jolie. Another girl obviously heard something, that is Zhu Bao, Zhu Bao didn't want to die, and Zhu Bao was smarter than Jolie. What should Zhu Bao do? I would like to be Qin Keqing's adopted daughter at the thought that she has no children. I'll exorcise ghosts, I'll break the basin, I'll entertain her son and attend the funeral activities. Later, I sent this Qin Keqing coffin to Tiexier Temple, where she stayed and said that I would never come back. Jia Zhen certainly relieved. Jia Zhen heard that he touched a pillar and died. He knew that the man had heard the political nature of the secret. This one is going to shut up forever, too. It's funny to accept her as an adopted daughter. Therefore, it can be seen that in the deleted plot of 4 or 5 pages, there will be leaks about Qin Keqing's true life experience, and there will also be some written descriptions about how the Qin Keqing family made mistakes and failed. That doesn't accord with Cao Xueqin's overall motivation to write the whole Dream of Red Mansions. He really didn't want to write political novels, and the literary inquisition was so harsh at that time, so Zhi Yanzhai told him that you should delete it and don't have these contents. Of course, Zhi Yanzhai may also think that Jia Zhen's erotic description of him and his love. Don't write like this. The prototype of this character is terrible. You can help her hide these things.
Therefore, in this ancient version of A Dream of Red Mansions, in the preface version of Qi, and in the preface version of A Dream of Red Mansions written by Qi, there are poems before the resurrection, and this poem before the resurrection is equivalent to shaking my words out. In fact, this was leaked, but in the later version, it felt more dangerous, and it was deleted, but it was not in the biography. These four poems are written like this: "Where is the truth of life and death?" It is a spirit to be wise and hard to restrain. The secret has been hidden for a long time, and the language in the dream is amazing. "What do these four sentences mean? Life and death are the life and death of the characters in the book. Poverty and communication are also two concepts, and life and death match. I'm broke. In the end, communication means visiting and communicating. So what is true in the novel? Before returning, I asked myself in the poem, "Even a wise man may worry, but there is a loss." I couldn't write it completely. This is very wise, and he can't write it all, but he has spirit, and the author has a spiritual tendency, and he can't stop it. " Wisdom is the spirit, and the result is "keeping your mouth shut." Qin Keqing's true identity is very secretive for a long time, and Qin Keqing's true identity is very secretive for a long time. However, in Qin Keqing, Wang Xifeng had a dream that "the words in the dream are amazing", which is obviously higher than Jia Fu, a figure with broad political vision, and taught Jia Fu what to do in the future. I'm dying and I'm leaving, but I'm actually the product of a political deal. After my death, your family will not suffer immediately. Instead, there will be happy events, and there will be good things like boiling oil flowers. After that good thing, it was followed by "everyone has to find their own door after the March", so this person is very powerful, "the words in the dream are amazing", so in the comments of Zhi Yanzhai, in the poems before returning to the ancient version of A Dream of Red Mansions, it has already been revealed, and where did Qin Keqing's life prototype come from?
I mentioned a detail several times before. Don't forget, it was this Xiangling who came to this Xue family and later lived in Jiafu. After Zhou Rui's family saw Xiangling, who did Zhou Rui's family say she looked like? Who does she look like? Just like Qin Keqing, was Cao Xueqin careless in writing this stroke? Did you write it casually? He has morality. Who is Xiangling? Do you remember the first time? Holding Xiangling, Zhen came a monk. What did the two men say at that time, saying why did you hold such a doomed man in your arms? It's a matter of life and death without luck, and it's a matter of life and death without luck. These words are the same. Qin Keqing is a life without luck. She knows this very well, so she said that it is impossible to cure the disease regardless of whether the fairy allows it or not. Her life and death depend entirely on whether her family can win the political struggle. Back in 13, Qin Keqing died, and Cao Xueqin began to write. This person was dealt with and she died.
So now we know, in this 12 Chai Jin's album about Qin Keqing, what does her verdict mean? The focus is on two sentences, one is "the original sin is better when the family feud is dead" and the other is "I will respect everything when I fall down", in the picture book of A Dream of Red Mansions and in the song about A Dream of Red Mansions. The song about Qin Keqing is called "Good Things End". Now you know what "good things don't go out" means It turns out that you raised Hong's sister at home, almost 20 years old. Didn't the Jia family contribute a lot? Isn't it? So it's called a good thing, but I didn't expect it to work out in the end. No, it's called "the good thing is over", so the song 12 about Qin Keqing in a dream of red mansions is called "the good thing is over". I will analyze some sentences sentence by sentence, because everyone can understand them. I will only focus on analyzing a few sentences. Let me briefly explain some key sentences in 12 and 12 albums. One is called "the first sin of family death", which means that the Jia family was finally destroyed. Was the first crime committed in Guo Rongfu or Ningguo House? The sound heard below is different. Some of them may be deeply influenced by the update of Gao E's new book. Gao E's continuation of the book, of course, also makes the charges of Ningguo House appear larger, because the emperor rectified Ningguo House to be more thoroughly governed, while Jia Jia Yan Shize seems to have only forgiven Guo Rongfu; But what was the charge that Gao E finally summed up for Ning Guofu? Now look at it. It's funny. Generally speaking, one is to force a good woman, that is to say, about the second sister. Who married her and who stole her? Is it Jia Zhen? Even if Jia Zhen plays badly, Jia Lian should be the first to be accused. Jia Lian, regardless of national and family mourning, violated feudal etiquette and married Second Sister You. Later, Sister You separated from her engaged husband, which caused some other consequences. This is Rong's business. Gao E finally listed such an indictment to write Ningguo House. There is another one that is even more ridiculous. Generally speaking, about You Sanjie and Gao E, it is said that this man died without reporting it to the official and buried it privately. What is this crime! In feudal society, it was not a terrible crime, and then Jia Zhen was written and finally abused. He can't think of any other way, because of what? Or did he not understand the previous description of Qin Keqing? In fact, maybe he is too clear, he wants to avoid it, he wants to cover it up, so he wrote this. In fact, 80 years later, according to Cao Xueqin's own idea, the first crime of Jia's demise and family affairs should be Ning, and it should be Ning. Why? This is because Ning actually adopted the daughter of a royal criminal, which is of course a heinous crime. Since this fact has been shaken out, there is no living head, so it is called "family destruction and death, and the crime is extremely evil", and "evil always starts from emotion". As I said before, "Qin" is homophonic with "love" of love. Cao Xueqin in the south thinks he is with ing. Pronunciation is considered to be homophonic, which means that I have too deep feelings for the abandoned prince family in Cao Jiahe. Because of deep feelings, I did something and committed a crime, which led to the decline of my family. A Dream of Red Mansions reflects Ning's adoption, which leads to the destruction of the whole Jia family. Then there is a saying called "Qiu Ji has fallen, fallen from respect", which many people don't understand. "Qiu Ji lost power and influence" is a metaphor for housework and important things of a family. So everyone has fallen and fallen, and no one cares. It all started in Jia Jing. On the surface, we can understand it, because we talked about it when Leng Zixing gave a speech at Ningguo House. Later, when Tundan died, he left Ningguo House alone. He escaped, Jia Zhen rightfully attacked Jue, became a grandfather in Ningguo House, and also became the head of the Jia family. Moreover, he fell to Ningguo House one by one, and no one could control him. Then we can know what Jia Jing is running from. The prototype of life, he adopted the prototype of Qin Keqing, and he may take a negative attitude. He didn't agree. I had nothing to do with everything that happened afterwards. He neglected such an important event that decided the fate of the family. Therefore, in this song "All things must come to an end", it is said that "everything is condescending". Politically, he had an unshirkable responsibility for the later decline of Jia's family and adopted an evasive attitude. Why did he go to the alchemist? He didn't go back to Jia's house on his birthday. Why? It was unreasonable at first, but now there must be a prototype of life. The prototype of life is such an attitude towards this matter at that time, which led to an autobiographical work of A Dream of Red Mansions, the setting of characters, the description of characters and the description of plots. So I'll stop here and make a conclusion first. In order to answer some questions that may be put to me, my conclusion is that the role of Qin Keqing written by Cao Xueqin has a prototype of life. The prototype of this character's life is the daughter born to the abandoned prince in Kangxi Dynasty. This daughter should have been born at the critical moment when he was abolished for the second time, so at that time, in order not to let this daughter be imprisoned with him, I asked the Cao family to take care of it. The Cao family in life kept this daughter and hid her. When Cao Xueqin wrote A Dream of Red Mansions, he could not avoid this prototype of life. It should be written down that he created an image of Qin Keqing. In a word, our prototype is the daughter of an abandoned prince, the eldest son of an abandoned prince, and Hong's sister.
Then I'll stop here and make a conclusion, and then answer some questions that may be asked of me. My conclusion is that the role of Qin Keqing written by Cao Xueqin has a prototype of life. The prototype of this character's life is his daughter, the abandoned prince of Kangxi Dynasty. This daughter should have been born at the critical moment when he was abolished for the second time, so at that time, in order to avoid this daughter, she was imprisoned with him and asked the Cao family to take care of her. The Cao family in life kept her and hid her. When Cao Xueqin wrote A Dream of Red Mansions, he could not avoid this prototype of life. He should write it down. He created an image of Qin Keqing. In a word, the prototype is the daughter of the abandoned prince Yin Ren and the sister of the eldest son of the abandoned prince Hong. Her birth time should be at the critical moment of the second abolition of the prince. After I come to this conclusion, someone must question me like this. When I expressed my thoughts in my life, my friends came to question me and said that your conclusion was too hanging, didn't they? Think about it, the emperor has banned him. How dare he do such a thing? Isn't it? After the abandoned prince, where was he kept? Being enclosed in the Forbidden City, which was originally called Xian 'an Palace, you must send many people to monitor it, right? How is it possible to pass things? What about sending someone out? That's impossible. It's possible. I said it was possible, and I'm not going to make abstract inferences with you. We can find the basis from the archives left by the Qing Dynasty. These materials were not deleted even though they were cleaned up many times in Yongzheng and Qianlong Dynasties. There are examples. One is that before and after the Prince was abolished for the second time, a man escaped from the forbidden Xian 'an Palace, not a child, but an adult. This man has a name and surname. Of course, his name is Lin. There is a man who thinks that the Prince has been abolished again and wants to move from Yuqing Palace to Xian 'an Palace. After moving to Xian 'an Palace, he doesn't know which day he will leave. Cheating death, he pretended to be dead, and tried to inform the guards outside that he was dead, trying to transport a dead body, so he was carried out as a dead body. So some people may question me and say, is this possible? If Qin Keqing really was secretly taken out of the palace when the Prince was abolished for the second time, and the guards were very strict at that time, would such a thing happen? As a result, I checked the records of the Holy Father and found another example. Of course, he didn't record that one of Yin Ren's daughters was taken out, but he clearly recorded Dai Lin's escape, and later Kangxi personally handled the matter. When Dai Lin faked his death and escaped, he was taken in by a big bureaucrat, so don't have any doubts. Dare you bring it in? Even if he escapes, can anyone take him in? People have feelings and live in love forever. For various reasons, especially emotional reasons, someone took them in. Of course, the last person who escaped was found and executed, and the minister who took them in was also punished. This is a historical fact. After cheating to death, you can smuggle it out by pretending to be a dead body, not to mention the newborn baby, which may be shipped out. Some people say I'm still a little unconvinced. I know there was a ancestral hall in the Qing Dynasty. What is an imperial clan? Every member of the royal family, every child of royal descent, must be registered from infancy. The clan mansion is in charge of this and must be strictly registered. It can't be said that being adopted by others after giving birth to a child is a capital crime to hide it. In any era, there will be individuals who risk their lives to do something forbidden. The Qing dynasty was the same. Let me give you another example. During the Kangxi dynasty, Kangxi himself once handled another case, that is, he found that the former minister of the imperial clan, Jue Luotada, didn't know why he didn't want to have children, fearing that the imperial clan was strict. What should he do if he didn't report the child? At that time, there was another minister in the court, that is, Emperor Kangxi discovered two examples at that time. One example is that the imperial clan thinks that Lotada, who has a child, concealed the imperial clan mansion and did not report it. Another is that there was a minister in the court who was in charge of horses in the palace. Because he has many children, he will abandon the sons born to concubines, even children born to little wives, and people who don't love children. So there is a coat collar, and this person has a name. Kangxi also named it Zheng Te. The Cao family in life is the coat of Manchu and the slave team of the ruling group. Its members are called coats. This Zheng Te is a coat, so he adopted it and gave him the child. So now, according to the historical context, the person who abandoned the child is him, and the person who adopted the abandoned child is the coat. Then Kangxi dealt with this matter very severely. Kangxi also proposed another one, saying that the blood of this family is unclear, so girls in this family can't be mixed into the list of draft women in the draft. And Kangxi's strict order, there is a similar situation to be severely identified, although the emperor is very strict.
But, look, there are examples, right? Some people can escape from the forbidden palace, and some people can take in royal children who are not allowed to be taken in by others. Zheng Te's identity is similar to that of the Cao family, which is a coating family. You can't just take the royal blood for yourself, let alone waste it. But this happened in the Kangxi dynasty, and there are such examples. Moreover, I also pointed out in my previous speech that although the abandoned prince was sealed inside, he was dishonest. People who are surrounded inside want to escape, and people who are surrounded outside sometimes want to rush in to see how they are, but there is still a gap between the two sides in the process of confrontation. The abandoned prince used to write secret letters with alum water, which was invisible on paper and would appear when baked on the fire, so he wrote secret letters himself. He wanted to send this message to Kangxi through a courtier to see if he could give him another chance to make contributions by apologizing. At that time, Junggar defected again. He sought to be a general and wanted to return to the position of prince again. Of course, it was found out afterwards. After this matter was found out, Kangxi severely punished others, but he just ignored him and raised him. So, at the end of this lecture, we came to the conclusion that Qin Keqing in A Dream of Red Mansions has a prototype of life. This archetypal figure is the youngest daughter of the prince's family who was abandoned in life. She should have been secretly sent to the Cao family at the critical moment when the abandoned prince was abandoned for the second time. When Cao Xueqin was writing a self-narrative work, he turned this life prototype into Qin Keqing in his novel.
