Today, we will describe the first couplet in A Dream of Red Mansions. This couplet comes from the illusion of taixu.
In the original article, when James had a nap, he had a dream. When he heard a conversation, he wanted to see the stubborn stone. But before he could see it, he got to a place. The original Article said:
(Shi Yin) as he was looking at it, the monk said that he had reached the illusion, and he had taken it from his hand. He had a big stone arch with the Taoist, and had written four big words, it is a "virtual reality ". There is another couplet on both sides. The saying is: true or false, and there is no such thing as inaction.
This sentence is not clear at the beginning. Like a tongue twister, it is true or false and cannot tell what the author wants to express. After all, it was still young and only a teenager, after experiencing some things, I gradually understood the meanings behind these two sentences.
To put it simply, these two sentences can be summarized into two idioms: false or false. When a false object is taken as a real object, it becomes a false object. If something is absent, then something becomes useless. These two sentences remind me of a bridge section in "Let the bullet fly.
Zhang Machang tried to kill Huang Siang, but the local people did not support Huang Siang because they feared it. So he came up with a solution and found Huang Siang's replacement, then some of the brothers played a good show and killed Huang Siang, who looked exactly the same as Huang Siang. The common people thought that Huang Siang was killed, so they dared to come out, huang silang turned out to be a fake product.
This section is particularly interesting. In this way, the real existence of Huang silang has become a non-existent character in the eyes of the people, and the replacement that never exists, it becomes a real existence in the eyes of everyone.
In A Dream of Red Mansions, there is a similar plot. There is a family of four, Jia Fu, who has a zhufu in the south of the Yangtze River. There is Jia Baoyu, and there is a zhubaoyu, everything is like a twin. Cao Gong started his speech and said "real things are hidden". Therefore, he used the fake words to show such a story as "jia" and "Xiao.
It was a painstaking effort by Cao Gong. He had to tell his own story and consider many taboos at that time, so he had to hide the truth and hide his eyes and ears with words like "dream" and "phantom, use Jia to replace the truth, describe some as none, convert none into others, and write a story of true or false in a bid.
What are the true and false values in A Dream of Red Mansions? We can only see the appearance of Yifu several times. In the Spring Festival, Cao Gong borrowed Jia's mother Zhao Xiaojie for the first time and mentioned the four-time access to the South China region.
If you use this pair of couplets to verify the authenticity, there is no doubt that Jia Fu's yuanchun family is a fake and a novel writing method. However, it is true to use this method to bring the Jiangnan family to take over the driving work. Zhijizhai's comment will naturally not let go of the secrets of his family. The comment is: his family is a key and big program, so do not make extensive colloquial comments. Also said: I have seen it before.
From this we can see that Cao Gong's hiding behind Jia Fu is the real key. Although there are not many plots, it is actually what happened. Jia Fu is just an external illusion and a guise.
In addition, the reading of the big View Park was shocking. Although Mrs Wang listened to the statement of Wang shanbao's family in the S, he proposed to copy the Grand View Garden, but the one-stop visit in spring was very promising.
You have never talked about your family since you got up early today. You have copied a copy of your family. We are also coming soon. We can see that if a family of big people is killed from the outside, they will not die for the moment. This is what the ancients once said: 'worms of all feet are dead, not stiff. 'You must first stop yourself from the home and then destroy yourself to defeat the ground!
Although Cao Gong wrote about Jia Fu's internal copy inspection Grand View Garden, where did he really say this? It's about the family being copied! The first sentence in spring revealed Cao Gong's mind, which is also Cao Gong's family affair. Later, Jia Fu copied and checked the true cause of his family being copied.
Another example is Jia Baoyu's dream: Which one is true or false? Cao Gong said at the beginning: all the words "dream" and "phantom" are reminding readers of their eyes, that is, to distinguish between true and false and whether or not.
In fact, the whole house is just an image of the house. Cao Xueqin hides the real house behind the mirror and uses the house to write a story. Therefore, when Jia Baoyu goes to bed, because the mirror set was not put down, I dreamed of xiaobaoyu.
This is also like the Feng Yue Bao Jian that Jia Rui took before his death. On the front is Feng Jie, who constantly beckoned to him, while on the back is a skeleton, can we understand that the front is the Government House that has been replayed, while the back is the Government House that has already been defeated?
These two sentences of taixu magic world appeared once again in the taixu magic world of Baoyu. Cao Gong never used the pen again. Why did the couplet Repeat twice? The answer provided by zhijiejiejiehui is: fear that the viewer will forget the first time, so it will highlight the secret dream scene.
This is something that Cao Gong feared for the readers to forget. Here again, I would like to point it out. These two sentences can serve as the couplets of the entrance to the virtual reality, so we can see their importance. Cao Gong's uplink and downlink are stacked with words such as true, false, have, and none, while the words such as "virtual" and "phantom" are hidden in the batch. This is to remind readers that when you read them, remember to distinguish between true and false.
For the readers, once we enter the portal of taixu illusion, we will follow Cao Gong's pen and Jia Baoyu's "Journey" to witness the rise and fall of Jia Fu, and CaO Gong will stop writing at the crucial moment, when I inserted a story about the Government House, the first 80 times later, the Government House was already under question. In fact, what is the relationship between the words after the first 80 times? For Cao Gong, the story of truth has been told.
This couplet seems simple. In fact, it hides many stories not told by Cao Gong. After reading them, it truly understands the Dream of Red Mansions.
