Regarding Xue Xiaomei's nostalgic poems, I suggest to look at them first:
What are Xue Baoqin's ten poems about nostalgia saying? The answer is definitely beyond your expectation.
Between couplet poems and lantern riddles, it is the mystery of Warm Xiangwu written in my last article. The author puts the place where the riddles are done in the warm fragrant dock, deliberately keeping a low profile, so as to bring out Jia Xichun who has never appeared in the camera.
Regarding Jia Xichun and warm Wu Xiang, it is recommended to look at it first:
Dream Interpretation in the Red Chamber: Is Jia Xichun really cool thin? See the real chapter through the clouds and the moon
Only by reading the mystery of Wu Wenxiang can we really understand why Jia Xichun was singled out at this juncture.
So, next, we entered the scene of the warm pier lantern riddle:
The first person to guess riddles is Li Wan. She first told two riddles made up by herself, which came from four books:
The first person to guess is Shi Xiangyun (please note that Shi Xiangyun and Jia Xichun are a pair of overlapping shadows! Therefore, as the owner of the warm fragrant dock, Jia Xichun did not participate in the guessing-she was busy thinking about her own painting, and the guessing was endorsed by Shi Xiangyun)
But Shi Xiangyun doesn't seem to be completely right.
Guanyin has no family biography-Guanyin, the great bodhisattva of Purdue sentient beings; Family biography means that there is no official record.
Xiang Yun's answer stops at perfection, which comes from Book of Rites University Book.
-Xiangyun means the goodness of Guanyin, which is the perfection of good deeds.
At this time, Baochai and Li Wanxing showed a tacit understanding (yes, according to my analysis, they are the same person)-look at Baochai's tone of reminding Xiangyun, as if she had written this riddle.
Then Daiyu guessed. No family heirloom means: although you have done good deeds, you have only done good deeds, and there is no publicity or record. So the answer is, although there is no good sign, this sign is equivalent to credit investigation, which means proof, and the source is the Book of Rites.
Xiangyun didn't guess, but Daiyu guessed. Does this mean that Lin Daiyu is smarter than Shi Xiangyun? Not necessarily. We then analyze, although there is no sign of the true meaning of goodness, what is hidden:
Translation:
To govern the world, we should do these three important things well (discussing etiquette, setting rules and writing articles), so as to reduce mistakes!
However, although the etiquette system of saints is good, it will not be convincing and the people will not listen if it is above the test and implementation.
In addition, if your status is low, even if you are a saint, the etiquette system you advocate is no matter how good, but because you have no aristocratic status, you can't convince people and people won't listen.
Bottom line: No virtue refuses to obey people, but virtue also needs coordination-despicable and flexible tactics.
Look at Li Wan's second riddle again:
Xiang Yun, who was impatient, guessed the riddle first and got it right.
Proud, what is it?
The original text is from Chapter 20 of the Doctrine of the Mean:
This riddle is relatively simple and vivid, and the meaning of Pu Lu's relevant context is also relatively simple. Moreover, we can see that the answers to these two riddles are completely in the same strain: the first answer actually raises a question, while the second answer gives an answer, or choice-the golden mean.
What kind of policy is good? -Appropriate, moderate and flexible policies, like Pru, can grow appropriately, instead of high-flying but empty policies.
Now it's Li Wan's sister Wen Li's turn to solve the riddle. This time, Tan Chun replied:
With the foreshadowing in front, the answer to the mystery of Wen Li becomes very crucial.
We found Baoyu, who has been very active and hasn't said a word so far.
At this critical moment, the first answer is Tanchun, and her answer is Dan Tao. As for why the water flows to the stone, is it Dan Tao? Because the author definitely wrote, we don't need to discuss more, but we should consider the symbolic significance of Dan Tao itself.
It is easy for us to understand that this answer is actually still linked with the first two answers:
Dan Tao, the word Juyuan, was a famous scholar and politician from the Three Kingdoms to the Western Jin Dynasty. He can be said to be the organizer and core figure of the "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest", but he is also a traitor to the "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest" in the eyes of future generations.
The Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest used to be the spokesmen who were born alone, while Dan Tao was actually famous for his political ambitions. His final choice also proves that he is just advancing with the times, another golden mean.
There are six eldest daughters in the Grand View Garden: Baochai, Daiyu, Li Wan, Tanchun, Yingchun and Xichun, and Xiangyun, who is not the eldest daughter, is just seven.
Although Xue Baochai is the king of flowers, Lin Daiyu is the best in terms of poetic talent and romantic and willful personality in Wei and Jin Dynasties, and she lives in Xiaoxiang Pavilion full of bamboo, so Lin Daiyu is Ji Kang.
So, the initiator of their first contact was Jia Tanchun, and it was Jia Tanchun who answered this riddle. Why? Because Jia Tanchun is a Dan Tao figure.
Ji Kang is Lin Daiyu. Of course, Lin Daiyu and Ji Kang are actually insinuations about the perfect idols in Jia Baoyu's mind and imagination-they are willing to die for these people.
Jia Baoyu's idol spirit is born, not contaminated with the filth of official career economy, but the reality is:
Sima Shi replaced Cao Wei's regime and put pressure on the seven sages of bamboo forest. As a result, the seven sages of the bamboo forest fell apart. Dan Tao, who had always had political ambitions, became the guest of Sima Shi, while Ji Kang, who was loyal to Cao Wei, wrote "Breaking Up with Shan Juyuan" and died calmly, becoming a figure like Qu Yuan.
Jia Tanchun will eventually alienate Jia Baoyu politically.
However, her personal friendship with Jia Baoyu is an eternal story-this story is the answer to the mystery of warm Wu Xiang.
Next is Li Qi's riddle, the answer is Baoqin, and I analyzed its prototype. She was a foreigner and a bystander in the Qing court;
Richie's riddle stumped everyone at the moment, but after Baoqin guessed it, Daiyu also reacted immediately:
Fireflies are grass-like fireflies, which are changed from rotten grass. This is of course unscientific, but it is necessary in this context. Grass rot means death, and fireflies live on it. This is another pair of yin and yang, who live and die together.
So although this mystery is a flower character, the real mystery is resurrection.
At that time, when writing A Dream of Red Mansions, the scientific level of the imperial court must have understood that reincarnation is nonsense, so the homonym of Li Qi's name is very strange, which is prompted by the author. There has been a miracle of reincarnation that future generations will not believe without warning!
The author deliberately wrote a message, regardless of who has been resurrected, and then look at the next and last riddle:
What does Baochai mean? Refers to the riddle is too quaint, afraid of future generations guessing, it is better to give a clear hint, so Xiangyun's next riddle is a vulgar thing, in fact, it has become a note on the last riddle:
It was not until this riddle that Jia Baoyu finally appeared.
The answer is to play the monkey-note that this is a noun, not a verb.
The real essence of this mystery lies in the key sentence of its riddle, which the author deliberately confuses everyone and emphasizes-it is difficult to continue afterwards.
Now we can go back to the last riddle, Dan Tao. What does Dan Tao have to do with the aftermath?
Yes!
As the core figure of the Seven Sages in the Bamboo Forest, Dan Tao has an excellent reputation among the Seven Sages, and Ji Kang, the soul figure of the Seven Sages, wrote a letter to break up with Shan Juyuan and refused Dan Tao's invitation to sue the Ma regime, but the last paragraph of the letter was written like this-
It is said that Ji Kang once said to his son before his death, "If the mountain master is still here, you will not be alone."
Eighteen years after Ji Kang himself went to the execution ground, his eight-year-old son entered the officialdom with the support and recommendation of Dan Tao, and eventually became a famous official.
Now, we can connect these five mysteries together:
Although good, there is no sign-political dialectics
Proud leaves-only followers prosper.
Dan Tao-A Homeopath.
Flowers-resurrected and shelled grass.
Playing with monkeys-it's hard to continue afterwards.
It's not clear from this alone. We need to treat these mysteries as romantic treasures, and some need to be reversed, so we get the following mysteries:
Good deeds without signs-good deeds without records.
Proud-a successful man from the trend (Dan Tao)
Dan Tao.-What did this man do? Ji Kang broke up with him and left him alone.
Playing with monkeys-it's hard to succeed in the future (although I accept my fate, I can't let go of my children)
Flower-resurrection (accept your fate, but let your children live well)
Ji Kang is Lin Daiyu in Jia Baoyu's mind, so this Ji Kang is actually Jia Baoyu himself.
Jia Baoyu, it's Aisingiorro Yin Ren.
Dan Tao is Jia Tanchun, but it is also the kindness acknowledged by Jia Tanchun. This is the real object of Jia Baoyu's Orphan.
Jia Tanchun, the third elder sister, is actually Aisingiorro Yin Zhi, the third elder brother. Aisingiorro Yin Zhi is the first official record of Prince Kangxi who surrendered to Yongzheng.
Dan Tao is Jia Xichun, the owner of Wenxiang House, alluding to yongzheng emperor-Yongzheng.
In the process of Jiuzi's seizure of power, Prince Yin Yong and Yin Zhen during the May 4th Movement were never obviously antagonistic political opponents, and even once they were in the same trench. Yin Zhen, who is only pragmatic and manipulative, can finally flourish, while romantic and utopian Yin Yong is content to do well, but unwilling to give up his political fantasy until he is deposed.
Finally, this puzzle begins with the fact that Guanyin has no family history. In addition to bringing out these two advantages and disadvantages, there is a simpler and more straightforward meaning:
Guanyin, like Jin Qilin, is an endorsement for sending children.
Jin Qilin belongs to Shi Xiangyun and cannot continue after the funeral.
Dan Tao, who is an orphan, was born in warm Wu Xiang, Jia Xichun.
About Shi Xiangyun, recommended reading: Behind the double star of Kirin Fubai is the biggest melon in the book of A Dream of Red Mansions.
History: digital children raised by Yongzheng, such as Hong.
However, the author also said that Guanyin has no family history. Why?
Because, the most important one has no family history-it was concealed, and this one eventually inherited yongzheng emperor.
Let's just say it's wonderful and terrible when you think about it-
The ultimate answer to the riddle of Nuan Xiangwu is that Ji Kang entrusted the orphan and Dan Tao was appointed, which is due to the re-emphasis on the white-headed binary star because of Kirin.
Yin Zhi, who first surrendered to Yongzheng, was later exiled by Yongzheng and then imprisoned and put to death. Among them, what happened
Kangxi had many excellent sons, but he was eventually succeeded by Yongzheng, and he was also the child of the abandoned prince raised by Yongzheng. I have reason to believe that Yin Zhen is really a kind and upright man.
Just royalty, always because of love-friendship is too heavy, black and white, not so simple.

The spoiled infatuation Jia Baoyu is just too simple-minded, and the world is flat without waste.
Therefore, while deeply sympathizing with the erotic school headed by Jia Baoyu, the first prostitute in the world, the author clearly gave Baochai the highest praise for her heartlessness, which may or may not be given to Lin Hongyu, Miaoyu and Jia Xichun, who seem heartless.
The world needs Ji Kang and Dan Tao, affection and reason.
