Fu Bo and Zhong Changshan believe that some terms in A Dream of Red Mansions, such as "Mourning for Hong", "Hongyiyuan" and "Dream of Red Mansions", do not come out of thin air. Only the adherents of the Ming Dynasty in the early Qing Dynasty can write it. In fact, adherents of the Ming Dynasty also wrote many anti-Qing poetry articles in the early Qing Dynasty. Cao Xueqin lived in the Yong-gan era with strict outline, and would not have such boldness of vision.
Through the careful study of A Dream of Red Mansions, it is found that the earlier version of A Dream of Red Mansions records: "Wu Yufeng wrote A Dream of Red Mansions; Meixi, Donglukong, titled "Yue Feng Treasures". "
"The book" Yue Feng Bao Jian "is a preface written by his brother Tang Cun." Combining the above names, the word "Wu Meicun" appeared. More importantly, compared with Cao Xueqin's difficult life, Wu Meicun, who lived in seclusion for 65,438+00 years, had time to write such a masterpiece. ?
Before them, some people in the red circle suggested that the author of A Dream of Red Mansions was someone else, but there was no conclusion. Fu Bo told reporters that even if the real author is not investigated, there is no doubt that Cao Xueqin is only the organizer of A Dream of Red Mansions.
Fu Bo said that according to their current research results, Cao Xueqin has never been called the author since A Dream of Red Mansions began to spread. Until modern times, after some research by experts, Cao Xueqin was the author of A Dream of Red Mansions.
Fu Bo and Zhong Changshan found a lot of evidence that Cao Xueqin was not the real author of A Dream of Red Mansions: if Cao Xueqin was the real author of A Dream of Red Mansions, he would not insult Cao's ancestors face to face through Jiao Da and Liu Xianglian, nor would he vilify them through You Sanjie's dreams.
Moreover, in the Qing Dynasty, Cao Xueqin lived in the Qianlong period of Yongzheng, and the literary inquisition was harsh. How dare Cao Xueqin sign his real name easily in this novel against the imperial court?
In Zhong Changshan's view, a very important reason is that when Cao Xueqin arrived, the Cao family had already declined. Based on his life experience, it is impossible to write a life scene like the emperor's, and many details are difficult to describe with imagination if they are not living in it.
Extended data
Wu was a poet in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. My ancestors lived in Kunshan and my grandfather moved to Taicang. When I was young, I was proficient in Shihan, and I was appreciated by Zhang Pu and accepted as a pupil.
In the fourth year of Chongzhen (163 1), he was a scholar and was awarded the editing by Hanlin. Later, he worked as a lecturer in the East Palace and a secretary in imperial academy. In the Southern Ming Dynasty, he was at the Axe King and worshipped Shao Zhan. Due to disagreement with Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng, he resigned after only two months in office. After ten years of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty (1653), he was forced to go to Beijing to be an official. At first, it was taught by the secretariat, and later it was promoted to imperial academy for a drink offering.
Three years later, Ben's mother died in the south. She lived in seclusion in her hometown until her death. Wu lived in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, hated the peasant rebels and had no affection for the rulers of the Qing Dynasty. He is modest and upright, and has always been regarded as a regret of "missing his life", which is often revealed in his poems.
Wu was an influential poet in the early Qing Dynasty, and was praised by Qian, Wu and Gong Dingzi, the "Three Masters of Jiang Zuo", but only Wu was truly qualified to keep pace with Qian, the poet leader who was "famous all over the world". Qian lived in the Tang and Song Dynasties and Wu studied the Tang Dynasty. Since then, various schools of poetry in the Qing Dynasty have failed to contact them, which shows that they have a far-reaching influence on poetry in the Qing Dynasty.
Qian highly praised Wu's poetry, and once described the elegance and beauty of Wu's poetry as "splendid as the liver and intestines, jade as coughing and vomiting" (preface to Mei Cun's poems by Qian Qian).
Emperor Kangxi personally wrote an imperial poem entitled "Wu Meicun Collection": "Mei Village is full of romantic feelings, and I can't find it again and again. Autumn waters are fragrant and snow is fragrant, and Quincy thinks Ling Du is sad. Cut into Shu brocade to be beautiful, thinner and more smoked than spring silkworm. How many poems are popular for you when the cold night is short. " Wu's poems are highly praised, and the status of Wu poetry is affirmed.
Wu wrote fifty-eight volumes of Mei Cun Ji, Mei Cun Shi, the legendary Moling Spring, the zaju Tongtiantai, Lin Chunting, Shicheng Sui Koulue, and Chunqiu Geography. Most of them are masterpieces in the garden of ancient poems.
