Fun talk about the Red Chamber 23: The husband and wife are doomed, the peach leaves crossing the past, the daughter is strong, and Li Gong cuts the family back.
Jia Mu tells everyone that it's all right. "It's better to write poems than riddles, and let's play together in the next season." So Li Wan took all the people to make spring lantern riddles in the warm fragrant dock, and Xue Baoqin Jiecai suddenly thought of ten, that is, "Xue Xiaomei's new poems about nostalgia".
Xue Baoqin's ten ancient poems are ten riddles, and the answer is ten common things. Jun Jian Ya Kan Hong Lou thinks that the ten mysteries are river lantern, hammer, round fan and rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.
In fact, besides riddles, the ten ancient poems about nostalgia also metaphorically refer to ten of the twelve women in Jinling. Except Qiao Jie and Wang Xifeng, only Xue Baochai didn't. All because Baoqin said that Baochai said it. Ten nostalgic poems are also equivalent to those written by Xue Baochai, without alluding to themselves and not mentioning them.
As we said earlier, the answer to "Looking Back at the Past in Guangling" is "vinegar". He also borrowed the kindness of Emperor Yangdi to build the Grand Canal, but was slandered as a romantic and fatuous emperor.
Xue Baoqin's "Looking Back at the Past in Guangling" made a grievance for Emperor Yangdi, because "Looking Back at the Past in Guangling" alluded to the story of Qin Keqing being slandered and "climbing the ashes" before and after his death.
"Looking Back at the Past in Guangling" is followed by "Peach Leaves Crossing the Past", which tells a sad story of impermanence through the brief love between Wang Xianzhi and his concubine, Peach Leaves.
peach leaves crossing the past six days
withered grass and idle flowers are reflected in the shallow pool, and peach branches and leaves are always separated.
There were so many Liang Dong in the Six Dynasties, and small photos hung on the wall.
According to legend, Wang Xianzhi, the calligrapher of the Jin Dynasty, was known as the second king, and got a concubine named Taoye after middle age. At that time, peach leaves often traveled to and from Qinhuai River. Wang Xianzhi always goes to the ferry to take my concubine home. He once wrote three poems entitled "Song of Peach Leaves" as gifts to peach leaves, and the peach leaves wrote four poems entitled "Song of the Group Fan" to answer.
Later generations attached a ferry to Taoyedu, which is located at the confluence of Qinhuai River and Qingxi River in Nanjing.
Song of Peach Leaves
Peach leaves reflect red flowers, and they are graceful without wind.
what's the limit of spring flowers? I'm the only one who likes me.
peach leaves are compounded with peach leaves, and peach trees are connected with peach roots.
two pleasures of sympathy make me diligent.
peach leaves are the same as peach leaves, so crossing the river is unnecessary.
but it's nothing to cross, and I welcome you myself.
"Song of Peach Leaves" shows Wang Xianzhi's affection for peach leaves, and the true feelings revealed by the love between lovers.
Song of the Fan:
Seven treasures painted a fan with bright moonlight. It's summer with lang, but we can't forget each other.
bamboo in the green forest can be used as a white round fan. Shake Lang Yu's hand, because the wind is convenient.
the round fan is a complex round fan. Gaunt and unreasonable, ashamed to meet Lang.
the white round fan in your hand is as clean as autumn round moon. The breeze is free to move, and the charming wind is free to send.
The Song of the Tuanfan expresses Taoye's concern and yearning for Wang Xianzhi, his depression during his illness and his lyricism with a fan.
The name of a peach leaf is Taoye, and it is said that there are two kinds of identities. One is selling fan girls along the Qinhuai River, and the other is selling inkstone girls. Which one can't be tested.
On the surface, it seems that the answer to "Peach Leaves Crossing the Past" should be guessed as "inkstone" or "fan" by the identity of peach leaves. Actually, thinking about it is not. Let's take a look at this poem first, and what it specifically says.
"The withered grass and idle flowers are reflected in the shallow pond." When autumn comes, the withered grass and withered flowers are reflected on the shallow pond.
Autumn, decaying grass, residual flowers and shallow ponds ... show the decadent autumn. It indicates the sad ending of Wang Xianzhi and Taoye.
"Peach branches and leaves are always separated." Peach branches and leaves will inevitably separate again.
Wang Xianzhi is like a peach branch. After all, it can't last forever, so we have no choice but to part.
"There were so many Liang Dong in the Six Dynasties." As several generations of old ministers in the Jin Dynasty, the Wangs made great contributions, and Wang Xianzhi, as a secretary of the secretariat, was equal to the prime minister, who seemed to have unlimited scenery.
"Small photos hang on the wall." Leaving only a small portrait of Iraqis hanging on the wall, to reminisce alone.
The Biography of Wang Xianzhi in the Book of Jin records: "(Wang Xianzhi) tasted the wall of the book as the abbot's big character, and he thought it was very capable, with hundreds of viewers. Huan Wen tried to make (present) a book fan, and the pen fell by mistake, because the painting was a black cow, which was wonderful. "
However, the phrase "Xiaozhao", combined with the above, refers to the meaning of the portrait of peach leaves.
Wang Xianzhi was born in the family of Xie Wang, the gate of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He was the son of Wang Xizhi, a book sage, and was a first-class person in the world. But he is not happy. Wang Xianzhi was ordered by his teenage parents to marry his cousin and was forced to marry the princess at the age of 3. When I was forty years old, I met my concubine, Peach Leaf, but in a blink of an eye, they all separated into fleeting clouds like peach branches and peach leaves.
In the bleak autumn wind, the whole poem "Peach Leaves Crossing the Past" was devastated, and the peach leaves left the peach branches. It indicates that Wang Xianzhi lost his beloved concubine, Peach Leaf. Even if Wang Xianzhi grew up in a powerful royal family of six dynasties, he could not be satisfied with his position in the Secretariat. My concubine, Peach Leaf, "left him", can only remember her former lover with the help of the small image hanging on the wall.
Judging from the artistic conception of Peach Leaves Crossing the Past, Peach leaves are undoubtedly dead. The whole poem expresses Wang Xianzhi's memory of his beloved concubine, Peach Leaf.
A close reading of Peach Leaves Crossing the Nostalgia reveals that the central idea is not peach leaves, but parting. The so-called identity of "selling inkstone girl" and "selling fan girl" of Taoye is a cover-up. The real answer lies in the first and second sentences.
"Peach branches and leaves are always separated." If peach branches and leaves are compared to tea leaves, only peach branches are left after tea leaves are picked. Making tea into scented tea and soaking it in a bowl is not like the portrayal of "withered grass and fallen flowers soaking in a shallow pond".
therefore, the real answer to "peach leaves crossing the past" is "tea". Together with Zhongshan Nostalgia, Huaiyin Nostalgia and Guangling Nostalgia, it will soon form seven things to open the door of "rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea". It really is a "vulgar thing"!
Since the first two sentences of the whole poem talk about separation through "tea", the last two sentences talk about where will you go through the love between Wang Xianzhi and Taoye. To sum up, I know that the object of innuendo in "Peach Leaves Crossing the Past" is Li Wan.
Li Wan came from a noble family in Jinling. Everyone in the family studied, and there were often officials. She is married to Jia Zhu, the eldest grandson of Jia Daishan, a Duke Rong of Jinling, and is also a hereditary family. Just like Wang Jiazhi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, "There were so many Liang Dong in the Six Dynasties".
Jia Zhu's marriage to Li Wan is the way for Jia family to continue Jia Min's marriage to Lin Ruhai.
Lin Ruhai and Jia Min belong to the marriage between nobles, and their portals are quite the same. Li Wan's marriage to Jia Zhu is a marriage between the secular and the noble. Like peach leaves and Wang Xianzhi.
Of course, Li Wan's Li family is not as good as Jia's, but it is also extraordinary.
With Li Shouzhong's stubbornness and lofty attitude, he may not be willing to cling to the Jia family. Nine times out of ten, this marriage is related to Lin Ruhai.
Li Wan married into the Jia family and became Grandmother Zhu, who built the Rongguo Mansion, and will be a family member in the future. And soon gave birth to his son, Jia Lan, the fifth-generation grandson of Rong Guo Fu.
Originally, everything was wonderful. Who would have thought that Jia Zhu suddenly died of illness at the age of twenty? "Therefore, although this Li Wan is young and widowed, she lives in a beautiful home, but she is like a dying ember. She only knows how to serve her relatives and foster children, and she is only accompanying her sister-in-law and other needles to read."
Li Wan lost her husband as a teenager. Just like Wang Xianzhi's loss of his concubine Peach Leaf in Peach Leaf Crossing the Past. The eternal separation of "peach branches and peach leaves" is not long-lasting for loving couples.
In ancient times, peach was a symbol of a good wife.
The Book of Songs, Nan Tao Tao Yao:
Peach flies away, burning its splendor. The girl is going to be married and happy to her husband's family.
when peaches die, there is a responsibility. The girl is going to get married, and the heir of the early child will prosper.
peach flies away, and its Ye Zhenzhen. The girl is going to get married, and Comix is in harmony.
Another meaning of "peach" in "Peach Leaves Crossing the Past" is to imply Li Wan's moral model.
After the girl in "Tao Yao" married into her husband's house, the husband and wife were happy, their children were prosperous, and their families were prosperous and harmonious. "Peach" represents the virtue of a woman's family.
after the Jia family raided the house, the tree fell apart, and the Jia family of Ning Rong was defeated. Men are useless at this time. The clique is only left with Jia Lan.
It was Li Wan who stood up at this moment and was determined to take Jia Lan through the difficult embarrassment of "pity broke my coat cold yesterday", and made great efforts to study hard. Finally, Jia Lan to be no.1, a senior official, and Hou Lu revived the Jia family in the future.
From the foreshadowing of A Dream of Red Mansions, it can be seen that although the Jia family of Ning Rong Er Gong perished, the Jia family belonging to Jia Lan rose again and continued. Just like the "Xie Wang" home, it is endless. This is also the reason why "Peach Leaves Crossing the Nostalgia" alludes to Li Wan.
Li Wan's godson is well-behaved and has made great contributions to protecting Taoism. Cao Xueqin also praised her by Jia Baoyu's mouth for "adding green flowers to Huan Ge, and protecting Qin pickers with good cloud fragrance", and gave her the highest evaluation in Poetry, Wind and Elegance.
Li Wan's life really began and became brilliant after the Jia family raided the property! It is true that she had a hard life, and it was only when she was old that her mother got her prime with her child, and she did not die soon. But for a mother, although she is eager to succeed in her life, she has no regrets and is satisfied.
The answer to "Peach Leaves Crossing the Nostalgia" is "tea", and Li Wan's tragic life of widowhood is told by Wang Xianzhi and where will you go of Peach Leaves. It is also insinuated that Li Wan's virtue and political integrity are the hope of the Jia family in the future.
