What exactly is a Dream of Red Mansions written about? There are always different opinions. What it describes is really like what the book says, and the dynasties can't be traced back. Is it impossible to know? I never believed it. I don't believe that you can write such magnificent words by relying entirely on fiction and infinite imagination! As the saying goes, "reality is more wonderful than drama", only the evolution of real things will be so ups and downs and colorful. Just like in many Buddhist classics, the names of bodhisattvas are often listed in a large article, including various heavens, various Buddhist countries and several continents. If they are not real, you can't make them up by fiction or imagination. If someone can make it up, then I will kowtow to him and admit that he is a Buddha and Bodhisattva. The same is true of A Dream of Red Mansions. It is impossible to rely entirely on fiction and imagination. It must be real! We read history and the world, and we don't pay attention to textual research. Let's see what facts A Dream of Red Mansions tells us.
A Dream of Red Mansions is also called "romantic treasure" and "stone". Sword, originally refers to the mirror. The mirror of the romantic treasure mirror and the mirror of the emperor's historical masterpiece Zi Tong Zhi Jian are the same word, so the two "mirrors" can't be written as the same meaning in one stroke. Sima Guang compared history to a mirror, "having the resources to govern the Tao". Then, similarly, the mirror of romance is a mirror reflecting romance, and it should also be a history book, so that people who look in the mirror can be enlightened and alert.
When I was young, I read A Dream of Red Mansions and loved its grand narrative, extremely luxurious arrangement and overflowing talents. I shed tears for Baodai's love. After being fascinated, I can't help wondering: is a love of underage children worth reading for ten years and adding or deleting five times? It is clearly the love between men and women, and I only have my heart when you testify. How can the author be said to be "full of absurd remarks and a bitter tear"? Even "every word is like blood"? ! Lin Daiyu cried from beginning to end. When the east wind came, she wanted to cry, so did Bloom, and the tears died. Not only Lin Daiyu cried, but also Jia Baoyu, the man, accompanied her to cry. It's ridiculous!
Open the sons and daughters of China, are you looking for sorrow and hatred all day, like a romantic child trapped by love! What is the immortal value of A Dream of Red Mansions?
Now I finally understand that A Dream of Red Mansions is actually a hidden history of the Ming Dynasty, and it is a history of the end of the Ming Dynasty when the country was ruined! Just as Mr. Cai Yuanpei, the president of Peking University, pointed out in the index of The Story of the Stone, A Dream of Red Mansions is "lost in the Ming Dynasty". It really hit the nail on the head. Many questions about understanding A Dream of Red Mansions along this line can't help but vanish.
After the death of the Ming dynasty, the Ming dynasty, who lived in the Qing dynasty, was left behind, thinking about the motherland and trying to record the splendid culture of the previous dynasty and the history of national subjugation so that future generations could remember that history. But in the face of the harsh literary inquisition of the Qing Dynasty, they were frightened. The phrase "the breeze is not sensible, why turn over the books" has made many people fall to the ground. They dare not write down the history directly, like Sima Qian, Ban Gu, Han Shu and Sima Guang, and write the history of the demise of the Ming Dynasty and the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty, so they thought of a wonderful method, that is, turning the country into a home, "one throat and two songs", turning the Ming Dynasty into a grand view garden, emperors and princes into women, and writing a "History of Family Death and Blood" (Jia) with boudoir affairs as the theme. It is worth "reading for ten years, adding and deleting five times!" After ten years' efforts, the author finally hid this history of blood and tears in this wonderful book A Dream of Red Mansions for future generations of China to learn from!
A dream of red mansions fifty-second back to "Qiao Pinger hid shrimp bracelets, Yongqingwen filled the bird with gold", Xue Baoqin mentioned that his father Xihai Yanzi went up the mountain to buy foreign goods, met a "real girl" and wrote a poem, which began with:
This poem exposes the true meaning of the author's writing A Dream of Red Mansions. The author clearly tells us that A Dream of Red Mansions is a dream of Zhu Lou! The "real country" and "water country" are the Jurchen country and the Great Qing Dynasty respectively. Yesterday's Zhu Ming dynasty has become a dream, and today we are singing in the country of Qing Dynasty. Red is Zhu, and the original meaning of the word Zhu is the trunk of wood, so all people, things and things related to red, Zhu and wood refer to the Ming Dynasty; The water is clear, the wind is clear and true, and it is nuzhen, gold and nuzhen. For example, "Aisingiorro" means "gold" in Manchu, so all people, things and things related to water, wind and gold refer to the Qing Dynasty.
In A Dream of Red Mansions, the author's love and hate are clear, and everything related to the Ming Dynasty is a positive image; Everything related to the Qing Dynasty is a negative image.
"All roads are good marriages, and I only read the alliance of wood and stone." The alliance of wood and stone refers to the kindness and good marriage of the Ming Dynasty, which means that it is now the Qing Dynasty. As a survivor of the Ming Dynasty, the author expressed his infinite loyalty to the Ming Dynasty with a love story of Jia Baoyu, just like Baoyu's obsession with Sister Lin. Comparing the loyalty of scholars to the country with the love between men and women has existed since ancient times. Zhang Ji in the Tang Dynasty once wrote a poem "Ode to Women":
This poem expresses Zhang Ji's determination to be loyal to the imperial court and not to be wooed and bought by Li Shidao, the envoy of our province. A Dream of Red Mansions, like Zhang Ji, records the struggle for imperial power in Ming and Qing Dynasties by describing the love triangle between men and women. According to this idea, make a comparison between A Dream of Red Mansions and the Ming Dynasty, and you will soon find that the important figures and events in A Dream of Red Mansions are strikingly consistent with those in the Ming Dynasty, almost reaching a one-to-one correspondence!

"Yue Feng Treasure", "Feng" refers to the Qing Dynasty, and "Yue" refers to the Ming Dynasty. Together, it is the historical reference for the demise and prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. On the front are bones and skeletons, the historical lessons of Ming and Wu, and on the back are beautiful women, like emotional entanglements between men and women. A dream of red mansions is "two songs in one throat", so reading a dream of red mansions does not waste the author's painstaking efforts. These women in the Red Chamber deserve the author's earnest efforts to make twelve books for them and twelve books for them. Because they are kings and princes, this women's book should be their biography in the history books!
