Many readers who come into contact with Dream of Red Mansions for the first time have the same feeling and can't read it. Why? Because the author has set up a lot of foreshadowing and mechanisms in the first five episodes, he is impatient and can't understand it at all, so he will have the urge to give up if he can't stand it.
Especially the first episode of Dream of Red Mansions, it is a mythological story, a monk, a dream, and a reality, and there are especially many fat criticisms, which makes many readers confused, not knowing what the author wants to express.
In the first time alone, Zhen Shiyin met the lame Taoist three times, once in a dream and twice in reality, of course, this is from the eyes of the world. In fact, in Cao Gong's writing, this is the opposite, the dream is the truth, and the reality is the dream. In this way, it is estimated that it will make people dizzy again.
In fact, the author has already told us the trick of reading this book in Jia Ruizhao's Fengyue Baojian, not only looking at the front, but also looking at the back in order to understand the deep meaning. The second time Zhen Shiyin met a lame Taoist, he held his daughter Yinglian to see the excitement of the meeting, Zhen Shiyin at this time was still vulgar, but he had Su Hui, and he was already between enlightenment and non-enlightenment, just a little bit away, which was the later decline of the Zhen family.
In fact, real life is not like this, in Stephen Chow's "Journey to the West", Chen Xuanzang has never been able to achieve enlightenment, and his ** keeps telling him, just a little bit. Many times, this little bit may really be a wall and a step away, but sometimes, this little bit is thousands of miles away and out of reach.
When Zhen Shiyin met the lame Taoist for the third time, he had already experienced the ups and downs of life in a very short period of time, great joy and sorrow, at this time, he left Wu and was just short of the last kick at the door, which was the ignition of the lame Taoist's good song. Zhen Shiyin's annotation of the good song can be said to be the general outline and central idea of the book Dream of Red Mansions, and it is also the main ideological embodiment of Cao Gong's writing of the book of Red Mansions. There are four grease batches in this paragraph, which is particularly striking. Article 1: A wife and concubine welcome the new and send them to death, they are kind and loving, they are painful and sad, and they can't linger. This batch is in "Yesterday's loess Longtou sent white bones, and tonight the mandarin ducks lie at the bottom of the red light tent." After that, it was written about marriage and love, focusing on a love word.
This comment is also related to the song "Everyone in the world knows that the gods are good, but the wife can't forget it." "On the other hand, the Dream of Red Mansions is about love, and there are many kinds ......of feelings, including family affection, love, friendship, grievances, and evil feelings
Article 2: A period of stone fire time, sadness and joy can not be. The grass dew is wind and frost, rich and lustful, and greedy. This article is criticized in "chests full of gold, chests full of silver, and beggars with eyes are slandered." After that, it was written about people's greed and desire, focusing on a word of desire.
This comment is similar to the song "Everyone in the world knows that the gods are good, only gold and silver can't forget." "Relatively, the wine is rich and wealthy, the lights are green, there are few people in the world who do not chase fame and fortune, and there are few people who do not grasp gold and silver wealth, but when it comes to the loess, the gold and silver treasures are really not brought to life and death. Article 3: After the death of a child, there is no evidence, and there is no planning and calculation before death, and there is no infatuation. This article is approved in "training in a good way, and it is not sure that it will be a strong beam in the future." Choose the anointed sorghum, who expects to live in Fireworks Lane. After that, it was written about the ethics of family affection, focusing on an idiot.
This fat criticism is similar to the song "Everyone in the world knows that the gods are good, only the children and grandchildren can't forget it." "Relatively, in fact, I can see that in a person's life, except for himself, he cannot control anyone, whether it is his parents or children and grandchildren. As the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, so don't worry about your children and grandchildren.
Article 4: When a period of fame is dethroned, it is hard to fight forcibly, and you can't be afraid of it. This article is criticized in "because the yarn hat is small, resulting in the shackle carrying; Yesterday I was cold, and now I think the purple python is long. After that, it was written about fame and fortune, focusing on a good word.
This comment is similar to the song "Everyone in the world knows that the gods are good, but the fame cannot be forgotten." "Relatively. Fame and fortune are sought by all. But whether it is earned by the test or won by the competition, after all, once a son of heaven and a courtier, accompanied by a king like a tiger, the left is just your side singing and I will appear, and everyone will take turns. We see that these four criticisms not only echo the good song, but also remind the reader that the bitter tears behind the absurd words are the real flavor. People live a lifetime, and they must not be lost by desire and obsession, fame and fortune.
