Cao Xueqin thanked the wine with a song in the Huaiyuan Garden in Duncheng

This doesn't seem to be very good.

Swallow City Wild Song.

In the twelfth year of Qianlong (1747), Cao Xueqin was thirty-three years old and moved to the western suburbs of Beijing around that year. In the following years, he lived in Xidan Xingbu Street in Beijing, the Reclining Buddha Temple outside the Chongwen Gate, the Siwangfu and Dongyu Village in Xiangshan Zhengbaiqi, and the northern uphill slope of the Yellow Flag Camp, Baijiatuan (about 50 miles outside the Xizhimen) [14] . During this period, Cao Xueqin lived in a hermitage, admired wild flowers, lived a secluded life of looking for poems, waving, singing and singing, selling paintings, buying drunk, singing, reminiscing, and writing books, and appreciated the culture of Beijing

The basil is old and unpretentious, and the family often eats porridge and wine on credit. ”[3]

Cao Xueqin hated for half her life and achieved nothing, "In that poor and destitute situation, she felt very complaining and depressed, so she couldn't help but indulge in drinking and singing, and asked for her own dispatch", and her personality of both good and evil gradually took shape. On a rainy autumn morning, Duncheng went to visit Dunmin's residence Huaiyuan (located on the shore of Taiping Lake in the southwest corner of the inner city) and met Cao Xueqin. Because it was still early, the master had not yet woken up before the boy came out, so the two went to the wine shop to drink wildly.

Duncheng untied the saber wine to help the fun, Cao Xueqin took advantage of the drunk to make a song as a thanks, and Duncheng also wrote "Saber Wine Song" to answer. [3] Once, Dun Min and Dun Cheng brought a few cans of good wine to Xishan to visit Cao Xueqin and pick melon flowers to cook.

Gift Cao Xueqin" Duncheng.

The basil is old and unpretentious, and the family often eats porridge and wine on credit.

Hengmen is sad about the rain in the secluded alleys, and the abandoned building is a dream restaurant.

Si Ye Qingqian keeps guests drunk, and the infantry is white-eyed.

Leaning towards people. Who is willing to eat with pork liver, and look at the twilight of the West Mountain Meal.

This poem was written in the autumn of the 26th year of Qianlong, after Duncheng and his brother Dun Min went to the western suburbs to visit Bu Xueqin.

Harbor Cao Xueqin.

Shaoling gave General Cao, who was once the son of Wei Wu. After the king or the general, he blocked the basil tun in today's ring. The old dream of Yangzhou has been extinct for a long time, and it is close to the nose of the calf.

Aiqun's poetry pen has a strange atmosphere, chasing Changgu and covering the fence. At that time, Humen counted the morning and evening, and the west window cut candles in the wind and rain. followed Rong Jun's arrogance, talking eloquently and lice.

Feeling that Sijun did not see each other, the sunset pine pavilion of Jimen. Persuade the gentleman not to play the eater, and persuade the gentleman not to knock on the door of the rich child. The remnant cup is cold and virtuous, not as good as when writing a book with yellow leaves.

1) The word "past" in "Zhijun's poetry is as bold as iron".

Almost all the articles explaining this poem ignore the word "past", but the author believes that this "past" is very important, reflecting Duncheng's lack of praise for Cao Gong's "present". This may be the key point in our **Cao Gong's mental state in his later years.

2) Downplaying the fact that Cao Gong ate closed-door soup in "Huaiyuan".

The preface of this poem is clearly written: "Autumn dawn, in the snow celery in the Huai Garden, the wind and rain are drenched, and the cold is coming." When the master is not out, the celery wine is thirsty--- please pay attention to the "master is not out" here. The author thinks that the owner did not come out to open the door, and Cao Gong stood at the door to endure the "morning cold".

Obviously, this "Huaiyuan" is not interesting enough. Therefore, Duncheng explained it in the poem with the poem "The master did not come out of the boy to sleep". The responsibility lies with the "boy".

Of course, judging from the content of the poem, Cao Gong didn't care at that time.

The problem is that there is no need to ignore it when reading this poem today. For example, there is a saying: "This should be Xueqin's first visit to Dunmin, staying in Huaiyuan, and Duncheng is suitable for early in the morning."

The Dream of the Red Chamber, Volume II, p. 599). If you "stay in Huaiyuan", how can there be a saying that "the master is not out". It's so nice to imagine.

Duncheng's poem does not say whether they went to the "Huai Garden" after drinking, and the author can't imagine it.
