However, there are still some poems with special meanings, which were written by the author for the purpose of the book or creative motivation. For example, Good Songs. For example, the first five-character poem written at the beginning For example, the following seven-character poem "Poem before Back".
Qianhui's poems
Author: Cao Xueqin?
Floating life is very bitter and busy, and the banquet is finally over. ?
Sorrow and joy are still illusory, and ancient and modern dreams are absurd. ?
Talking about tea is heavy, more infatuated and more bitter. ?
It's extraordinary that you have worked hard for ten years.
The author of this poem is said to be Cao Xueqin and an annotator, but it is still controversial. Supporters think it's hard, while opponents think it's too narcissistic and boastful.
But in any case, the content of this poem is the same as Cao Xueqin's five-word self-titled poem at the beginning of the volume, which has the function of summarizing the whole novel. Compared with the 20-word one, the 56-word seven laws are more detailed.
Poetry is roughly divided into two layers.
The first six sentences are a story, and I am deeply touched by the story, characters and ending of A Dream of Red Mansions. The ending of the first couplet is obviously aimed at the Grand View Garden, and the prosperity is lonely everywhere. The illusory couplet is the sublimation of the first couplet, jumping out of a dream of red mansions to see all beings. Necklace couplets return to the romantic theme of A Dream of Red Mansions, and look at the love-hate entanglements in the world with the sad infatuation of Bao and Dai.
This layer is basically based on original content.
The last tail is the second layer. It is the personal experience of the creator's creative activities. Only he knows how difficult it is to vomit blood. It not only shows the arduousness of A Dream of Red Mansions, but also shows its self-evident significance to the original author. Because these two sentences tell the essence of Cao Xueqin and this book, they have become one of the most classic famous sentences in A Dream of Red Mansions.
Is Cao Xueqin the author of this poem? I think it may be fake, written in the name of Cao Xueqin, because the original poem is quite narcissistic and boastful, so Lao Cao is not. what do you think?
