The relationship between Dream of Red Mansions and Fat Yan Zhai, what kind of person is Fat Yan Zhai

Fat Yan Zhai commented on Dream of Red Mansions, and there is a version of her review, which is the best (what my Chinese teacher said) In addition, it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Fat Yan Zhai is Cao Xueqin's cousin, and it is also said that it is his wife (didn't people often marry cousins before, hehe) Anyway, Fat Yan Zhai accompanied Cao Xueqin to write Dream of Red Mansions.

Trouble, thanks!

Yan Zhai was Cao Xueqin's intimate companion in the last decade of her life. Cao Xueqin's friends Dun Cheng and Dun Min said in the poem that Cao Xueqin had a widow alive after her death, and she was Yan Zhai.

Every time Cao Xueqin revised "A Dream of Red Mansions", she handed it over to Yan Zhai for review, and Yan Zhai's descriptions of "A Dream of Red Mansions" everywhere are as if he had experienced or experienced them with Cao Xueqin, and Yan Zhai was very familiar with the prototype of the events described in "A Dream of Red Mansions" in his annotations, which is amazing.

It can be seen from the comments left by Fatty Yanzhai in "A Dream of Red Mansions" that Fatty Yanzhai and Cao Xueqin have a deep relationship, and after Cao Xueqin's death, Fatty Yanzhai did not stop annotating "A Dream of Red Mansions", and she used it to express her nostalgia for Cao Xueqin. "Crying and crying, tears are also waiting to be exhausted."

Fat Yan Zhai should be a childhood sweetheart with Cao Xueqin since childhood. For example, in "Dream of Red Mansions", it is written that when Shi Xiangyun set up a crab banquet and Baoyu drank the wine soaked in acacia flowers, Fatty Yanzhai criticized: "The author still remembers that in front of the dwarf boat, he used acacia flowers to make wine?

Twenty years later, sigh! ”

Cao Xueqin sets up riddles everywhere in "Dream of Red Mansions", and Fatty Yanzhai reveals riddles everywhere in the criticism, which seems to have become a pleasant tacit understanding between Cao Xueqin and Fatty Yanzhai. In the life time of two people sharing joys and sorrows, in the sad life of "eating porridge and wine on credit for the whole family", this seems to be the only kind of fun.

Historically, Cao Xueqin's grandmother Li's maiden brother was Suzhou weaver Li Xu, Li Xu's granddaughter Li Lanfang, who lived with Cao Xueqin in Nanjing in her childhood. Later, Li Lanfang went through the change of raiding her home, lived in the market, and experienced hardships such as being sold.

Cao Xueqin moved to Yanjing, and after the family road fell again, he and Li Lanfang "met" in "Yan City" and became husband and wife. In "Dream of Red Mansions", the fat criticism has the Suzhou dialect, according to which it can be seen that Fat Yan Zhai is indeed a native of Suzhou, so Li Lanfang should be a confusing Fat Yan Zhai.

The main content of the Dream of Red Mansions is the first eighty chapters.

Dream of Red Mansions, formerly known as "The Story of the Stone", is a long story in ancient Chinese chapters and hui, and one of the four great classics of Chinese classics. There are a total of 120 chapters of its popular version, and it is generally believed that the first 80 chapters were written by the Qing Dynasty writer Cao Xueqin, and the last 40 chapters were written by anonymous people, which were sorted out by Gao He and Cheng Weiyuan. Jinling** takes the rise and fall of the four major families of Jia, Shi, Wang, and Xue as the background, and takes the rich son Jia Baoyu as the perspective.

With Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai's love and love and marriage tragedy as the main line, it depicts the life of some boudoir beauties, showing the real beauty of human nature and tragedy. The Dream of Red Mansions version has two systems: 120 "Cheng Ben" and 80 "Fat Ben".

The Cheng book is a typeset copy by Cheng Weiyuan, and the lipo copy is an early manuscript copied and commented by Yan Zhai at different times. The fat book is the base of the Cheng book. "Dream of Red Mansions" is a world-influential encyclopedia of human feelings, Chinese feudal society, and a collection of traditional culture.

The author of the book exhorts himself to "talk about love and record his affairs", only according to his own situation, follow the traces, get rid of the old clichés, fresh and chic, and have achieved extraordinary artistic achievements. The special penmanship of "the truth is hidden, and the false words are preserved" has opened the minds of later readers, and there have been many speculations over time.

Ideological content

Dream of Red Mansions comprehensively and profoundly reflects the characteristics of the times when feudal society flourished and declined. What it depicts is not a love story of "flowers and candles in the cave room and the title of the gold list"; Instead, he wrote about the love and marriage tragedy between the feudal aristocratic young Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, and Xue Baochai.

**The great social significance lies in the fact that it does not describe this love tragedy in isolation, but takes this love and marriage tragedy as the center, and writes the rise and fall of the four representative families of Jia, Wang, Shi and Xue at that time, which is centered on Jiafu, exposing all kinds of darkness and sins in the later period of feudal society.

Fat Yan Zhai is the main commentator of the manuscript system of "Dream of Red Mansions", "Fat Yan Zhai Re-evaluation of the Stone Record".

Fat Yan Zhai knows the things in the Dream of Red Mansions, and weeps with the writer, which means that she should be a person in the Dream of Red Mansions, so if Fat Yan Xiao Mazhai really experienced the Red Mansion incident, then who is her incarnation in the Dream of Red Mansions.

Following Shi Xiangyun, we continue to study the original work in detail, and deduce this mysterious man in the dream of Red Mansions according to the clues left by the original work. That is, the Dream of Red Mansions, everything in the book is a dream, and when you wake up, only the white earth is really clean.

The original work mentions dreams many times, such as "Wandering Fantasy Refers to the Twelve Hairpins", such as "Nanke Lead Bridge Qiao A Dream", and in the Grand View Garden, there is also a person's alias, which is related to the dream.

Let's look at the Qiu Shuang Zhai even begonia society, Baochai, Daiyu, Yingchun, Xichun, and Tanchun sisters discussed the poetry club, one of which has such a paragraph, "Daiyu said, since we are going to start a poetry club, we are all poets, and it is good to change the words of these sisters and sisters-in-law first." Li Kun said, very much.

Why don't we all give each other nicknames and call each other Yaya". That's it, everyone was busy with nicknames, "Tanchun smiled, I'm Qiu Shuang Jushi." Jia Baoyu said, the master of the layman, in the end, it is inappropriate, and cumbersome.

There are all the sycamore plantains here, or it means that the sycamore plantain is good. Tanchun smiled, there is. I like bananas the most, so I call them bananas.

Everyone said it was chic and interesting. Daiyu said with a smile, the ancients Zeng Yun, banana leaves covered the deer. She claims to be a banana guest, but she is not a deer, and she is about to make a deer breast."
