What does it mean to be convex and concave in the Dream of Red Mansions

It can be seen that when this garden was built, there was learning. The high place of this mountain is called Bulbi; The low-lying place near the water in the mountain is called concave crystal. The words "convex" and "concave" have always been used by the least number of people, and now they are directly used as the name of the Xuanguan, which is more fresh and does not fall into the nest.

It can be known that these two places, one up and down, one bright and one dark, one high and one short, one mountain and one water, are actually set up here for playing with the moon. Those who love the mountains and the moon are small, they will come here, and those who love the bright moon and clear waves will go there, but these two words are vulgarly pronounced as the two sounds of "wa" and "arch", so they are vulgar and not very useful. Only Lu Fangweng used the word 'concave', 'ancient inkstone slightly concave and polymoduo', and some people criticized him for being vulgar, isn't it ridiculous?

Daiyu said: "It's not just for Weng, there are too many people in the ancients." For example, the story of "Moss Fu", Dongfang Shuo's "Divine Strange Sutra", and "Painting Notes" Shangyun "Zhang Seng Xiang Painting a Ride Temple" is overwhelming.

It's just that I don't know today, and I used it as a vulgar word. Let me tell you the truth: I still drafted these two words.

Because of the trial of Baoyu that year, Baoyu did not prepare properly, we planned to write it out and give it to the big sister, we planned to write it out and give it to the big sister to see. He brought it out again and ordered it to be shown to his uncle, so he used it all. Now let's go to the Concave Crystal Pavilion.

Original text——

But the high place of this mountain is called Bulbi; The low-lying place near the water in the mountain is called concave crystal.

Tubitang (seen in the seventy-sixth chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions": Tubitang Tasting the Flute Feels Sad and Lonely in the Concave Crystal Pavilion) is the place where Jia Mu and her party enjoy the moon and the flute, opposite to the Concave Crystal Pavilion.

Chinese name: Tubitang.

From: Dream of Red Mansions, Chapter 76.

Note: Opposite to Concave Crystal Hall.

Xiangyun said with a smile: "Although it is good to enjoy the moon on this mountain, it is not as good as admiring the moon near the water." You know that at the bottom of this hillside is the edge of the pool, and the one near the water in the col is the Concave Crystal Pavilion.

It can be seen that when the garden was built, there was learning. The high place of this mountain is called Bulbi; The low-lying part of the mountain near the water is called concave crystal. The words "convex" and "concave" have always been used the least.

Now it is directly used as the name of the Xuan Pavilion, which is more fresh and unconventional. It can be known that these two places, one up and down, one bright and one dark, one high and one short, one mountain and one water, are actually set up here for playing with the moon. Those who love the mountains and the moon are small, and come here; and those who love the bright moon and clear waves, let them go there.

It's just that these two words are vulgarly pronounced as "wa" and "arch", so they are vulgar, and they are not very useful, only Lu Fangweng used a "concave" word, saying "ancient inkstone slightly concave and gathering more ink", and some people criticize him for being vulgar, is it not ridiculous. Lin Daiyu said: "It's not just for Weng, there are too many people in the ancients."

For example, Jiang Yan's "Moss Fu", Dongfang Shuo's "Divine Strange Sutra", and even the story of Shangyun Zhang's monk painting a temple in "Painting Notes" are innumerable. It's just that people today don't know it, and they use it as a vulgar word by mistake. Tell you the truth, these two words are still drafted by me.

Because of the trial of Baoyu that year, because he drafted a few places, some of which were saved, some of which were deleted, and some of which had not yet been drafted. Later, all of us drew up this nameless one, noted the source, wrote the location of the house, and brought it in with the big sister to see. He brought it out again and ordered it to be shown to his uncle.

But my uncle liked it, and said, 'If I had known this, I would have called his sister with him that day, and wouldn't it be interesting?' Therefore I used everything I had prepared without changing a word.

Now let's go to the Concave Crystal Pavilion to have a look. ”

The high place of the mountain is called convex; The low-lying part of the mountain near the water is called concave crystal.
