"Dream of Red Mansions" is a fairy fantasy**, I don't know this, it's not enough to read Red Mansions.
From the perspective of fairy fantasy, the whole ** tells such a story:
There is a "merry family" in the too illusory realm, who needs to go to the world to "rob the past", including the Shenying waiter and the Zhuzhu fairy. And at this time, a stubborn stone in the Great Wilderness Mountain was also moved, so a monk took it to the too illusory realm, and mixed it with a dry "merry family", so there was the story of Jinling Jiafu.
Judging from the entire pattern of immortal fantasy, the fairy world is actually divided into two factions, one is dominated by a monk from the Great Wilderness Mountain, and they represent the birth, which can be roughly understood as the Buddha world in "Journey to the West". It can also be known from the title of a monk, they are called: Vast Master, Miao Zhenren, and then there is an empty Taoist.
The other faction is dominated by the etheric fantasy realm, represented by the police fantasy fairy, the Shenying waiter, and the Zhuzhu fairy, who represent **greed, hatred, and hatred, which is the entry into the WTO, which can be roughly understood as the heavenly realm in "Journey to the West".
The Great Wilderness Mountain is roughly honored by Nuwa, but the police fairy in the too illusory realm is not the supreme, she is just a fairy who presides over the "ancient and modern love" and "wind and moon debt" in the "abuse of the sea and the love sky".
Careful readers should be able to find that whether it is the Great Wilderness Mountain or the Too Illusory Realm, they have all enlightened the world: for example, the leper monk once ignited Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, and the Broken Foot Taoist once ignited Zhen Shiyin, Liu Xianglian, and Jia Baoyu;And the police illusion fairy also lit Jia Baoyu, and the Fengyue treasure given to Jia Rui by the Broken Foot Daoist should also be a treasure of the too illusory realm.
And the real boss of the Illusory Realm, the real Supreme, has long been hidden among the red dust, just like a monk in the Great Wilderness Mountain, playing the most important role in the whole story.
This hidden big boss is Grandma Liu.
No one can deny that Cao Xueqin is the best person in writing metaphors in the world, and his subordinates have never been idle, so "Dream of Red Mansions" can become the greatest classical**.
If you look at it according to normal thinking, the appearance of Grandma Liu is really a bit abrupt. We can write a few major events at the beginning of **: first Lin Daiyu entered Jiafu, then Xue Panqiang bought Xiangling, and then Jia Baoyu sleepwalked in the illusory realm, and then Grandma Liu appeared.
We can find that putting these four things together, Grandma Liu is obviously a little out of place. Moreover, whether it is the first time to enter Jiafu or the second time to enter Jiafu, the author has given Grandma Liu too much pen and ink and too meticulous, and it can be said that it is not inferior to Wang Xifeng in details.
However, judging from the first eighty episodes that have been preserved, this is obviously unnecessary, and Grandma Liu is not indispensable for the advancement of the entire Jiafu story. Even if there is a plot to save Sister Qiao in the last forty episodes, it gives us a story of a peasant woman's gratitude and retribution, but this is not the theme that ** wants to express after all.
Therefore, there is only one explanation for this, Grandma Liu also has a hidden identity, and her appearance is not only to add a little gag to the story, but more of a metaphor in it.
In fact, for the writing of Grandma Liu's two visits to Jiafu, it is easy to think of Lin Daiyu entering Jiafu, which is one of the few times that an outsider looks at Jiafu from an outsider's perspective. The first time was Lin Daiyu, and the remaining two times were Grandma Liu. Writing about Jiafu in Lin Daiyu's eyes is to let us understand the rules of Jiafu more intuitively, and writing about Grandma Liu's entry into Jiafu is to let us have a deeper understanding of the gap between the rich and the poor, but the second time is how to explain it from Grandma Liu's perspective?
In fact, things are far from being so simple, if we compare the before and after each time Grandma Liu enters Jiafu, we will find that every time Grandma Liu enters Jiafu, there will be major events in Jiafu, and the situation before and after will change greatly.
The first time I entered Jia's Mansion, immediately after Jia Baoyu's first meeting with Yunyuqing, not long after Grandma Liu left, Jia Rui and Qin Keqing died one after another. Moreover, when Grandma Liu first entered Jiafu, it was at the festival when Jiafu turned from prosperity to decline.
The second time I entered Jiafu, immediately after the Begonia Poetry Society, Jiafu was originally a peaceful color, and soon after Grandma Liu left, Jiafu was filled with a desolate atmosphere, which can also be seen from the title after the forty-third time, Jiafu at this time can be said to be prosperous and declining.
It can be seen that this is the key to Grandma Liu's two scenes, her appearance actually tells us that many things are about to change, and some people are going to start to be unlucky.
This can't help but remind me of another person, that is, the servant of Zhen Shiyin's family, whose name is Huo Qi, indicating that a catastrophe is about to happen.
Is Grandma Liu also such a broom star who brings trouble?Yes, but not exactly.
Combing the storyline of Grandma Liu, you can find that she has a lot of mysteries, the first time she appeared she put "Bodhisattva, Buddha" on her lips, and the second time she opened her mouth and closed her mouth "Jade Emperor, Jade Emperor Treasure Palace", she can be said to be the only one in the whole ** who runs the gods and Buddhas with a mouth.
When the author writes it, we think it makes sense, but if we think about it from a different angle, we realize that these should not be coincidences.
In particular, a person who runs with a mouth full of gods and Buddhas does have some inexplicable insight and supernatural powers.
When the second entered Jiafu, Grandma Liu accompanied her mother to visit the Grand View Garden, and told everyone the story of Miss Mingyu's resurrection after her death when she rested. "Fire" has always been a homonym for "disaster" in **, which indicates that Jiafu is not far from a catastrophe.
The mother played in the Grand View Garden for a day, and then fell ill, Sister Feng's daughter and eldest sister were also sick, and it was Grandma Liu who said that this was in the garden and hit the "Zheng", Wang Xifeng asked people to burn paper to "send it away", and the eldest sister was considered to "sleep peacefully".
After Grandma Liu told the story of Mingyu's resurrection, Jia Baoyu asked her about Miss Mingyu's ancestral hall, and then sent Mingyan to the place that Grandma Liu said to find it, but after Mingyan came back, she said: "*What kind of girl is actually a plague god with a blue face and red hair."
Since then, this powerful Grandma Liu can be regarded as her true body, and it turned out to be a "green-faced and red-haired plague god", and a female "plague god". Therefore, Grandma Liu can be so powerful, not only can predict the future, but also "see" the god of flowers, and every time she appears, she "brings" bad luck to Jiafu.
Coincidentally, the two people in tattered clothes are both immortals with great powers, and the monks are the vast masters and misty real people in the Great Wilderness Mountain, and Grandma Liu is the only one who has a similar image to them, so naturally it should not be an exception. In other words, those who are well-dressed and gluttonous in ** are actually just living in the "illusion", and only people like the leper monk, the broken foot Taoist, and Grandma Liu are real, and they have the ability to break through the illusion and enlighten sentient beings.
So, where is this female "plague god"?
In historical records, there is only one person who matches it, and that is the Queen Mother of the West. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" said: "The Queen Mother of the West is like a person, the leopard tail and tiger teeth are good at howling, the hoopoe with fluffy hair, is the power of Si Tian and the five remnants", the legendary Queen Mother of the West is a female plague god, and is in charge of the world's punishment.
If the Queen Mother of the West becomes a person and integrates into "Dream of Red Mansions", she must be exactly what Grandma Liu looks like. This is not a simple guess, and we are left with a lot of evidence.
The Queen Mother of the West is like a person rather than a person, and in Grandma Liu's tooth card order, Mandarin Duck said that she "looks like a person", and the homonym is "looks like a person", saying that she is actually not a person. Regarding the residence of the Queen Mother of the West, the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" provides several theories, such as Jade Mountain, Kunlun Mountain, etc., but all of them are in the West. As for Grandma Liu's residence, she herself once said: "In our Zhuangzi to the east of Zhuangzi, there is an old grandmother. ", it can be seen that she also lives in the "West".
Folks often refer to the Queen Mother of the West as "Queen Mother", matching her with the Jade Emperor, and Grandma Liu mentioned the "Jade Emperor" when she told stories to her mother. When the group arrived at the bottom of the archway of the "Provincial Villa", Grandma Liu said: "This is not the four words 'Jade Emperor Treasure Palace'?"”
Everyone laughed when they heard this, is Grandma Liu really stupid?Of course not, from her calculations before entering Jiafu for the first time, and from her catering to Jiafu for the second time, we know that she is not stupid, but smarter than anyone else.
In order to tease Jia's mother, Wang Xifeng put flowers on Grandma Liu's head, and everyone laughed and said, "Why don't you pull it out and fall on her face?"Dressed her up as an old goblin." Whoever says no, she's not just an old goblin with "unkempt hair"!
The most critical piece of evidence is still in Sister Qiao, Sister Qiao was born on the seventh day of the seventh month of July, so Grandma Liu named her Sister Qiao, and later married Ban'er as his wife.
Doesn't this clearly use the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl?
Sister Qiao was born in a famous family like the Weaver Girl, but unfortunately she fell into the mortal world, and Ban'er was originally a country boy, but she accidentally picked up a big bargain. In this story, it is self-evident who is the Queen Mother.
