Explain the meaning of the whole poem Song of Crabs in the thirty eighth chapter of Dream of Red

1. This poem was written by Xue Baochai, in fact, it was written by Cao Xueqin, and the original text is as follows:

Dream of Red Mansions" Xue Baochai sings crab poems.

Gui Ai Tongyin sat and lifted his feet, and Chang'an salivated and looked forward to Chongyang.

There is no warp and weft in front of you, and the sky is black and yellow.

The wine is not fishy, but also uses chrysanthemum, and the sexual anti-accumulation cold ginger is fixed.

In today's cauldron into what benefit, Yuepu empty surplus grass incense.

2. Translate this sentence:

1. There is no warp and weft crab in front of you, so it doesn't matter whether the road in front of you is straight or horizontal. The warp and weft originally referred to the straight and horizontal lines on the loom, and here referred to the vertical and horizontal lines of the road.

2. Piri Spring and Autumn Sky Black Yellow Crab has a shell but no skin, and "Piri" is in the shell, that is, in the stomach. The paste of live crab has different colors of yellow and black, so it is said that the color of the flower is different in "spring and autumn". and "Piri Spring and Autumn" is an idiom, from "Jin Shu Chu Biography":

Chu Li does not show likes and dislikes on the outside, and refuses to casually express his approval or disapproval, but he has praise and disapproval in his heart. So some people say that he "has Piri Yangqiu". "Spring and Autumn" was originally a chronicle of Confucius based on the book compiled by the historians of the Lu State.

The text is short, and the predecessors thought that its words were deeply praised. Because Emperor Jianwen of the Jin Dynasty was named Spring, the Jin people avoided it and replaced "Spring" with "Yang", so this idiom is also called "Pili Yangqiu". Later, it is mostly used to say that people's hearts are scheming, and they are quiet.

Empty black and yellow, that is, the meaning of many tricks and futile work, because crabs are inevitably cooked.

3. Appreciate this sentence:

During the Double Ninth Festival, not only to appreciate chrysanthemums, but also to taste autumn crabs. A few friends got together, drank crabs, chatted, and were very comfortable. Seeing so many fat crabs, I can't help but think of the scene of tasting crabs in "Dream of Red Mansions", and think of Xue Baochai's crab poems.

Most of Xue Baochai's poems are relatively calm, and few are so extreme and cynical, but there are special times. When the new crabs were listed, Bao Dai Chai wrote a poem about the crab, and Bao Chai's poem was the best, among which "the road in front of you has no warp and weft, and the spring and autumn sky in Piri is black and yellow" is a metaphor for people, full of ridicule and whiplash to the society. Here, "empty, black, yellow" means that the abdomen is empty, there is no knowledge, only "black, yellow", Baoyu looked at it and said:

Scold happily! It's time for my poems to burn. ”！

The crab poem "Dream of Red Mansions" was written by Cao Xueqin.

In the thirty-eighth episode of "Dream of Red Mansions", the sisters in the Grand View Garden gathered at the Begonia Poetry Society and ate crabs during the banquet, so Baoyu, Daiyu and Baochai became interested and each composed a crab song.

Baoyu's work: Holding the chela is more like the shade of cinnamon, and pouring vinegar makes Jiang Xing crazy. The gluttonous king and grandson should have wine, but the rampant son has no intestines. The umbilical cord is cold and forgetful, and the fingers are stained with fishy wash and fragrance. Originally a beautiful mouth in the world, Po Xian once laughed and was busy all his life.

Vernacular translation: Eat crabs in a place where osmanthus flowers are fragrant and cool in the shade, and mash ginger with vinegar as if you are going crazy with excitement. I should drink alcohol at this time, and my behavior is unscrupulous and extreme.

Cold air accumulates between the navel, and I forget the taboo of eating crabs for a while. After washing his hands, his hands are still stained with the fragrance of crabs, it turns out that everyone in the world is to satisfy his stomach, and Dongpo has also been busy eating all his life.

Lin Daiyu's work: The iron armor Changge has not forgotten his death, and he likes to taste the color of the stack first. The chelated tender jade is double full, and the shell is convex and red and fragrant. The flesh is more merciful, and who persuades me to help me. For the best reward festival, the cinnamon breeze chrysanthemum with frost.

Vernacular translation: Crab shells and crab legs can not be forgotten, and plates of good-looking crabs are placed in front of you, and you can happily taste them first. Full of crab paste, full of crab meat, each one is very delicious.

The crab legs are also full of meat, but unfortunately there are only eight feet, who persuaded me to drink a thousand cups of wine to help the feelings, against such a delicious crab, live up to the Double Ninth Festival, the breeze blows the laurel, and the chrysanthemum is frosty.

Xue Baochai's work: Gui Ai Tongyin sits and lifts, and Chang'an salivates and looks forward to Chongyang. There is no warp and weft in front of you, and the sky is black and yellow. The wine is not cleansed, and chrysanthemum is also used, and the sexual anti-accumulation cold ginger is fixed. What is the benefit of ending the kettle today? Yuepu is empty of grass and millet incense.

Vernacular translation: When the osmanthus flowers are fragrant, they sit under the tongyin and raise a glass to drink, and the people in the capital are drooling and looking forward to the arrival of the Double Ninth Festival. The road in front of the crab is indistinguishable, and some people secretly praise and criticize others as nothing more than words.

Just drinking alcohol can not offset the fishy smell of crabs, but also add chrysanthemums, in order to beware of crab meat cold gathering must have ginger as a condiment. What good is it for being steamed in a pot today? The moonlit waterfront leaves only the fragrance of rice.

One (Jia Baoyu).

Holding the chela prefers the shade of cinnamon, and pouring vinegar makes Jiang Xing crazy.

Meaning: Cinnamon fragrant sycamore yin sits and raises the cup, and the greedy people look at you crabs and look forward to Chongyang. The road in front of you has never been blind to the side, pretending to be only black paste and crab roe in your stomach.

Wine can't beat your fishy smell, you have to use chrysanthemums, in order to prevent cold accumulation in the abdomen, you must add more ginger when eating. What are the benefits of falling into the pot so far? On a moonlit night, only the fragrance of corn was left on the water's edge.

Ironically: Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu are rebels of the feudal class, and attacking Bao Dai's rebellious path against the feudal patriarchal system is wrong and unworkable.

Original text: Gui Ai Tongyin sits and lifts, and Chang'an salivates and looks forward to Chongyang.

There is no warp and weft in front of you, and the sky is black and yellow.

The wine is not cleansed, and chrysanthemum is also used, and the sexual anti-accumulation cold ginger is fixed.

What is the benefit of ending the kettle today? Yuepu is empty of grass and millet incense.

The most important thing is that the two sentences "the road in front of you has no warp and weft, and Piri is black and yellow", reflects Xue Baochai's orthodox thoughts, and forms a sharp contrast with Jia Baoyu's deviance. [This is my understanding. I have seen a lot of explanations from the red scientists, some I agree with, some I disagree.

To better understand the content of the crab poem, the best explanation is to take a good look at the dialogue of the crowd when commenting on the poem.

Gui Ai Tongyin sat and lifted his death, and Chang'an salivated and looked forward to Chongyang.

There is no warp and weft in front of you, and the sky is black and yellow. Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but be amazed. Baoyu said:"Write happily!It's time for my poems to burn. "Look at the bottom again:

The wine is not fishy, but also uses chrysanthemum, and the sexual anti-accumulation cold ginger is fixed.

In today's cauldron into what is beneficial, Yuepu is empty and fragrant. After everyone watched it, they all said that this was the swan song of eating crabs, these small topics, they were supposed to be big things to be considered talents, but they were too poisonous to satirize the world.

It's too poisonous to satirize the world" is the best evaluation. "The road in front of you has no warp and weft, and the spring and autumn sky is black and yellow" is not only a description of the image of the crab, but also a spicy satire of the "world", so everyone praises it.

This is my personal opinion.

It should be written as a satire on the feudal dynasty.
