A sample letter to Cao Xueqin 1

Cao Xueqin:

? If I die today, I will be buried. I don’t know when I will be buried. If I am buried with flowers today, I will laugh like crazy. I don’t know who I will be buried with tomorrow. ?A sentence in "The Flower Burial Song" evoked memories of the Dream of Red Mansions for generations, entangled with the fate of the characters, and sighing at the bleak ending of the story?

?Only in his heart The reckless man is frivolous, but his bones are extraordinary and extraordinary. ?A few simple sentences describe the character of the protagonist incisively and vividly. A strange and vulgar character, he is Jia Baoyu. Growing up among daughters, she likes to be close to girls, and her love with Lin Daiyu is rare in the world. Someone once said that in Baoyu's eyes, there are only differences between true and false, good and evil, beauty and ugliness. And Baoyu also symbolizes the feelings and thoughts of treating others equally.

? When the flowers fade and the flowers fly all over the sky, who will pity them when the red color disappears and the fragrance disappears. ?A few tactful sentences outline Daiyu's poignant and touching posture. The story we know best about her is definitely "Daiyu Buries Flowers", which compares herself to a flower. She is unwilling to perish and unable to get rid of it. She pityed the flowers even more for herself. When she saw the flowers withering, she seemed to see her own future. This is Lin Daiyu. Someone once said that a conversation between her and Baoyu at the flower burial became the swan song for resolving misunderstandings between lovers in Dream of Red Mansions.

? When it is extremely light, I know that the flowers are more beautiful. How can I get the jade without a trace when I am sad? ?A few beautiful sentences tell the story of Baochai's life. Her family has numerous properties, and she is one of the twelve beauties in Jinling. She abides by women's virtues, is extremely profound, and is good at winning over people's hearts. She has been praised by many people in the Jia family. . But one thing I have to mention is that although she is quite wealthy, she is talented and knowledgeable, and is a talented woman. She is Xue Baochai. Someone once said that it was she who ruined the love between Bao and Dai.

? In the past, when we were close friends, we read the West Chamber under the peach blossom tree, Baoyu said, "I am that sad and full of sorrows." Although you are sick, you are so beautiful that the country is beautiful. This all reveals Baoyu's love for Daiyu. In the past, flowers were buried, and the flowers fell and people died without knowing it. The pity for Daiyu started from here?

I don’t know why you wrote this immortal article, and I don’t know why I fell in love with it. Maybe it's a beautiful story, or maybe it's the soul-stirring love between Daiyu and Baoyu.

Sample letter 2 to Cao Xueqin

Dear Mr. Cao Xueqin:

How are you doing recently? I feel very honored to be able to write to you!

In this misty morning, I brewed a cup of fragrant tea and held your book - --Read "A Dream of Red Mansions" carefully. The steaming water vapor curls up, reminding me of my longing for you.

I think you should be the most affectionate talent in Chinese history! Then from Daiyu’s mouth, you chanted? Flowers fall and fly all over the sky, and the red fades and the fragrance disappears, who can pity me. ?Looking at the broken flowers flying in the sky, your heart is as gentle as a woman's. Only you can express such love and pity to the broken flowers everywhere; only you can have such sentiments.

Maybe you are tired of the filth of the world, maybe you are helpless against the darkness of reality. Facing the world of men and women, you want to escape from this filthy world, you want to escape from this dark reality, but it's all so vague. So, you sigh: "It's not like a brocade bag to collect beautiful bones, a handful of pure soil to cover up the romantic flow." ?It’s just that in this world, you still have concerns and responsibilities.

Perhaps you are an esthete. All the beautiful things in this world will fade away with the passing of time. All this helplessness will make you feel regretful in your heart. Seeing this desolate scene, you feel filled with emotion. But you feel miserable because of your own insignificance and helplessness. You are sentimental about the "cruelty" of nature.

So, you said: "Look at the spring flowers gradually falling, it is the time when the beauty dies of old age." ?Thousands of helplessness and ten thousand kinds of unwillingness are indescribable.

Every word is written with blood, ten years of hard work is unusual!

Life is an elusive thing, and the reality is so cruel that people hesitate to move forward. I believe that you who have unpredictable fate will feel the same way. The impermanence of the world makes you sentimental. You have experienced too much, but they are all consistent tragedies.

You are tired, you are tired. Looking at the broken flowers that slowly turn into spring mud, you say: "If you die now, you will be buried. I don't know when I will be buried." ?

You feel helpless and there is nothing you can do.

Perhaps you are a person who is extremely opposed to feudal ethics and ideas. You once said: "Daughters are flesh and blood made of water, and men are flesh and blood made of mud." ?In your eyes, dignified 7-foot-old men are just dirty men. I admire you because you have such lofty thoughts that no one can match. You want to be free from the secular world, but you have lost your pure flesh and blood, and you can't help but burst into tears. So, you said again: "May I have wings under my wings and fly with the flowers to the end of the sky." ?

You are extremely tired of this worldly world. You just want to live a life of your own accord and let nature take its own course.

In fact, I don’t know how terrible it is when a person’s spiritual support collapses, and I don’t understand why you suddenly collapsed after losing your son in your later years. Your unfinished and exquisite art, your flower-like beauty whose splendor has passed, cannot be retained by you.

You just died silently and with hatred. I don’t know if anyone thought this way at the time, but at least I think so now. Your story is sad and beautiful, but I don’t know that your life is more tragic and more beautiful.

The paper is full of nonsense, ridiculous words, and a handful of bitter tears.

The long river of history flows endlessly towards the future, and your fallen flower floats on the water, just drifting like that.

One day, you finally came to the end of the sky, and where is the Xiangqiu at the end of the sky?

This is a long story, so I will leave it here and write to you next time. I'm so sorry for delaying your sleep, sir!

Sample letter three to Cao Xueqin

Mr. Cao:

I don’t know how Mr. Cao is doing, but I am really worried about him!

I have always heard of Mr. Cao’s name, and it was like thunder in my ears, but I was shocked to hear that Mr. A good friend wrote a poem sincerely: The path is full of basil and the old man is not fancy. The whole family often eats porridge and wine on credit! I feel really sad in my heart. Thinking about this, the younger generation can't restrain the inner impulse, so I wrote this book with my husband!

I have heard that Mr. Wang was born into a well-known scholarly family. His grandfathers were all high-ranking officials, and they all enjoyed generous salaries. They were also trusted and favored ministers of the emperor! However, when the new emperor ascended the throne, it can be said that thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, thousands of miles of dust, one emperor and one courtier?, really Is it really true that unpredictable events happen in the sky, and misfortunes and fortunes happen to people all at once? Mr.’s family suffered an unexpected crime, which caused the family fortune to decline. The younger generation is really sympathetic!

Tonight, the younger generation wants to speak boldly, which is really presumptuous. ! With your talent, you really shouldn’t have written "The Story of the Stone"! It took ten years to review and add or delete five times. How time-consuming! How nerve-wracking! You could have set up a stall in a tea house, restaurant, singing house or brothel. It's called "Cao Xueqin's Tasting of the Plum in the Golden Vase", which will definitely cause a firestorm and overcrowding, or a new biography of the Plum in the Golden Vase. Nowadays, sex literature is quite popular. Sir, you can also use this method in the article to write down the key points,? How many words have been deleted here? It doesn’t hurt the elegance! The gentleman will definitely be famous all over the country. I will take this opportunity to read the Three Kingdoms, the Water Margin, and the Journey to the West. I will talk about the events of the Ming Dynasty and my experience in the Analects of Confucius. , discuss "Laozi" and discuss "Zhuangzi". At this point, sir, you must not be humble. Some universities will send invitations to invite you to give academic lectures. You cannot refuse. Guest professors are also professors! At the same time, sir, you must send your business cards widely. , the author of the national bestseller "Grandstanding", chairman of the XX Writers Association, and a national first-class writer.

Visiting professor at Harvard University in the United States, part-time professor at Clayton University in Germany, visiting professor at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, and so on. In addition, with his talent in poetry, painting, and calligraphy, he can also be the chairman of such-and-such Poetry Association and the honorary name of such-and-such Painters Association. Chairman? Honorary consultant to a certain calligrapher? These are clowns in the literary world who cannot compete with you! At this point, your husband must be a very busy man. Today he will sign books and sell books, tomorrow he will have a press conference, and the day after tomorrow he will be interviewed on TV. In order to expand his influence, he will do everything possible. Don't let this kind of activity pass you by! Then you can open several bank accounts, and you will definitely make money every day! You will definitely not fall into the situation of looking for poets to stay in monks' houses, or selling paintings to pay for restaurants!

With his noble character and integrity, he would definitely not do this. He would only focus on making money by only making promises and forgetting about virtue and meritorious service! He came from a well-known family and wrote a book called "Missing Me Still the Same? Remembering My Grandfather Cao Yin" ", counting his great achievements in publishing "The Complete Poems of the Tang Dynasty", or telling about the elegance of his collection of books, or writing "My Grandfather and Kangxi", or "My Great-Grandmother and Kangxi", you will definitely make a lot of money! You can also Being the chairman of the Provincial Writers Association will bring you great happiness and prosperity, but your reputation will also be great. Writing reviews and prefaces for others will not be a problem for you to make a living!

Every time I recall my husband’s dedication to his art, The piety for art is truly admired by the younger generation, and it should also make the literary world ashamed! The younger generation has taken the initiative to make this decision, but I really miss my husband’s life! I hope Mr. Qi understands!

I wish you good health!
