"An old official who was bribed overturned his conviction in private and gave an idle person a book to play the piano."
Jia Baoyu came to Xiaoxiang Pavilion because xiren mentioned his sweetheart for a while. I saw Daiyu leaning on the table reading a book, but he didn't know any of the words on the book ... Based on Lin Daiyu's interpretation of what Jia Baoyu saw as "not words, but sounds", her left thumb pressed the nine emblems on the piano and her right hand hooked the five strings.
First, talk about love.
After explaining the notation, I went on to talk about piano theory. Lin Daiyu said, "If you want to play the piano, you must choose a quiet room, Gao Zhai, or on the roof, in the forest, at the top of the mountain, or by the water. On that day, when the earth is peaceful, the wind is clear and the moon is bright, the incense burns the body, and the heart is calm, it can be in harmony with God and Tao. " Guqin, as the music of literati's meditation, has its lofty and elegant taste. Lin Daiyu's piano theory coincides with the so-called "fourteen appropriate talks" in Yang's Complete Piano Music of Ming Dynasty. The elegance of playing guqin lies in the solitude and self-entertainment of the pianist, or an elegant collection of mutual appreciation with one or two bosom friends. As a result, naturally, there will be a play environment that emphasizes self-esteem, is in harmony with mountains and rivers, and has a heart-to-heart relationship with bosom friends, such as "meeting bosom friends, meeting pleasant people, treating Taoist priests in Gaotang, climbing pavilions, sitting on stones in the palace, climbing mountain ports, relaxing in an empty valley, resting in the middle of a boat, and enjoying a cool breeze and bright moon".
In fact, Lin Daiyu's piano teaching to Jia Baoyu is not divorced from the whole book A Dream of Red Mansions. The handling skills of homophone puns, exquisiteness and dexterity, and the compromise between elegance and vulgarity have reached the point where readers feel complicated and meaningful. Therefore, Lin Daiyu's "Qin Guan" has become one of the important perspectives for us to observe her "love". Based on the theory of "Qin", the pianist's mind has its own elegance and detachment, and the requirement for the listener is absolute confidant. The two can form the most concrete correspondence in Lin Daiyu's sentiment and sentiment view. The former proves his poetic talent, and it is more obvious. Lin Daiyu always pursues perfection in her poems with the persistence of artists. Unlike Xue Baochai, although both of them are well-read, they know how to converge and be tactful. Lin Daiyu made no secret of her talent and won the poetry club, resulting in her narcissistic and dust-free objective image. The poem "Ask Chrysanthemum" says: "Who is hiding far away, but bloom is the last?" It can best show its lofty and vulgar character. This kind of conduct is enough to make him the only scholar who can play the piano in Dream of Red Mansions.
Lin Daiyu's narcissism and solitude are not only reflected in her comments on the piano and her poetic talent, but also in her unique artistic conception of life. Look at what she said to Zijuan before going out: "Clean up the room and take a gauze drawer. See the swallow come back, put down the curtain, lean on the lion, burn incense and cover the stove. " (The 27th time in A Dream of Red Mansions) In A Dream of Red Mansions, Lin Daiyu's lofty feelings, which are immersed in artistic conception, are radiated through poems, harps, medicines and incense, making people feel more secluded and noisy. Therefore, from the overall shaping of characters from the inside out, to the discussion of the relationship between pun and meaning in homophonic, and even to the theme of the book. If the statement that the last forty chapters were supplemented by Gao E is established, the sequel of the book will further investigate Lin Daiyu's love view and relationship with the article "Xie Qin", which can be said to be the ignorance of the original author.
Second, leisure is occasionally sent away.
In the eighty-sixth episode of A Dream of Red Mansions, because Lin Daiyu felt a little comfortable the day before yesterday, she looked through a set of piano scores on the big bookshelf and was gradually attracted by its piano theory and elegance. Jia Baoyu came to ask, and she also explained some piano lessons conveniently. In the end, Jia Baoyu was afraid that Lin Daiyu was exhausted, but Daiyu didn't care: "I am happy to say this, and there is nothing to worry about." This is a response to the psychological state of "killing leisure". Her thoughts and feelings at this time are integrated with the rest, travel, residence and rest of famous artists, in order to entrust her superior leisure. People who played the piano in ancient times will give the piano unique ideas with their unique modality and fresh and elegant talent. Its purpose is to express the word "leisure". As a set of theories, "leisure" refers to the highest state of worship in the eastern philosophical world. In the face of the invasion of western mechanical civilization, China people replaced the leisure aesthetic with the hurried pace of life and values, which was incredible to the traditional literati before Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Third, spirit and mind are interlinked.
Jean sounds sympathetic, but in fact she seeks a bosom friend. Li Yu's "Follow the Fate" has made it very clear: "Boya is not in line with his childhood, nor can he swing the strings all day and assemble a virtual drum like Wen Jun." Especially the harp and harp, have been the media for men and women to express their feelings since ancient times. The poem says, "A wife is like a harp, and a harp is like a harp." "My Fair Lady is my friend." Li Daiweng went on to say: "Before the flowers bloom and under the moon, the beautiful scenery is so beautiful that it is worth the coolness of the water grid. When there are no embroidered windows, either the husband sings and the woman makes peace, or the woman does it and the man listens, or the two sounds are in harmony, and the rhyme is not uneven. No matter who you are, if you are a fairy, it will become a picture of cooperation, and it will also make the audience ecstatic ... "The difference between A Dream of Red Mansions and ordinary novels of talented people and beautiful women lies in the sublimation of the concept of" bosom friend ". Traditional operas and novels are all about "perfect looks, love at first sight". Later, for the sake of vows of eternal love, they love the wind and courtship, and they use poetry to caress the piano, even if it is as wonderful as The West Chamber and The Peony Pavilion. Because the piano/love sound is "easy to sound and difficult to understand", "people without physical training don't know it, and only those who are good at playing can hear it". This time, the theory of bosom friend stays in Xiang Ru and Wen Jun; Zhang Sheng and Ying Ying's rubber painting men and women, the degree of contact with feelings is satisfaction. If Bao and Dai in A Dream of Red Mansions are bosom friends, then we should put their life paths together as the basis of what bosom friends say.
Fourthly, the metaphor of emotion.
Lin Daiyu's piano is actually a feeling of "liberation". The beginning of love is the intersection of two life trajectories, which intersect at the same frequency, so that lovers can hear each other's voices in the silent world, and then pursue together with the concept of * * * *. It is the clock of old love, not only to "please yourself", but also to "know yourself" with higher requirements. Before A Dream of Red Mansions, love stories often began with "Love only loves color". Talented people caress the piano for pleasure and cover it with piano/love, so "playing the piano" (talking about love) means pursuit and admiration. It is the classical literature that borrows the word "violin" to imply the desire of men and women and the harmony of husband and wife, and the literati of past dynasties use the word "pipa" as a metaphor for "emotion". Although "lust for sex" is the origin of love, it is not distorted. When Bao and Dai first met, they both paid great attention to each other's talents and looks. Daiyu looked at Yu Bao and said, "The face is like powder, and the lips are like fat; Looking forward to family, I often laugh. Natural coquettish, all between the eyebrows; There are thousands of feelings in life, and I am aware of the corner of my eye. Look at its appearance is the best ... "In Baoyu's eyes, Sister Lin is:" I was born with two worries and was sick all over. Tears a little, breath slightly. When it is quiet, it shines like a beautiful flower on the water, and when it moves, it looks like a weak willow. " The romantic association between two people is triggered by each other's talent and appearance, and even the accidental nature of their behavior. This is the beginning of love. However, its persistence depends on the profound combination of life and thought. Bao and Dai are lovers in ideals and concepts, which makes the "playing the piano" in A Dream of Red Mansions a concrete proof of their interpretation of * * * in real life. Lin Daiyu told the story of the "wind knife and frost sword" she suffered here with Qin music. She was not free and worried. It was not until the four rhymes were finished that the piano wire suddenly broke, and the strings had become a metaphor for the structure of Baodai's love story.
