Forty times after "Dream of the Red Chamber", most people hold Zhang Ailing's thoughts, believing that "the dog tail continues to sable". Junji Yakan Red Chamber did not agree with this.
The last forty times of "Dream of the Red Chamber" are definitely a sequel. This can be clearly reflected in the rupture from the foreshadowing clues of the previous text, the separation of the character's personality, and the difference between the spirit of the text.
"Dream of the Red Chamber" ends abruptly at eighty times, which is actually not particularly accurate, because strictly speaking, it is more than seventy-nine times. Eighty times it was only after some adjustments and arrangements were made that they were presented.
But basically, I can still see that when the eighty-first time, the style of writing has completely changed. It is no longer Cao Xueqin's previous handwriting.
To give a few examples, you know the regret caused by the incorrect content of the tenon.
For example, Xiao Xiang Concubine is the story of the second daughter of Emperor E,e, and two phoenix kites flew out of the 70th Xiao xiang pavilion, and the two people flying kites in Jia Tanchun's judgment can indicate that Lin Daiyu and Jia Tanchun's second daughter are married to overseas foreign countries, and Lin Daiyu's death in a foreign country is also completely gone.
For example, Lin Daiyu will leave Jia Fu, "Funeral Flower Yin", "Title Pa Three Absolute", "Autumn Window Wind and Rain", "Wumei Yin", "Peach Blossom Line", "Liu Shu Ci", "Chrysanthemum Poem", and Jin Jun'er and Qingwen were taken away and died, all of which are foreshadowings, why "the soul of the bitter Pearl returns to hate the heavens"?
For example, Jia Mu's support for Bao Dai's marriage is by no means selfish for Lin Daiyu, but from the position that the Jia family abandons Wu Congwen, Lin Daiyu is more suitable for the Jia family than Xue Baochao, and why would she use the "transfer package meter", resulting in Jia Mu's attitude being inconsistent! In this way, the story of Liu Yao's grandmother smoking firewood in the snow indicates that on the day Xue Baochao married Jia Baoyu, Jia Mu died, which became useless.
For example, Jia Tanchun obviously married overseas as a princess and never returned, why did it not come true?
For example, Jia Jiaming was involved in the Rebellion of the King of Northern Jing and caused a catastrophe of family raids, completely defeated, why can't it be downplayed?
For example, it is obviously implied that Jia Zhen's father and son in Ningguo Province, and Jia Zhen in Rongguo Province will die, why not?
For example, Jia Rong continued to be Xu Shi, why did Houwen become Hu Shi again...
All this proves that the last forty times are not only continuations, but also write a completely unrelated "same humanities".
The author of the sequel also did not really understand and continue the huge clues of Cao Xueqin's ambush, just for the sake of ending.
The greatest charm of writing is that it retains the genes and characteristics of the individual. Although a person's writing style will change, the core genes of the text will not completely change.
In particular, words have a soul. Words retain an individual's genes and characteristics. Although a person's writing style will change, the core genes of the text will not completely change.
Just like Gu Long's novel, is not his words, a look at it will know. Even if the imitator is like Shangguan Ding, Ding Qing, he can be easily seen. There is also the famous Dumas, whose novels have too many ghostwriters of others, and they are also known at a glance. This is also the reason why Jin Yong deleted Ni Kuang's ghostwriting. The soul of words does not deceive.
Zhang Ailing said that the "abominable face" of the characters in the last forty times was caused by the author's different thoughts and different souls of the words. Cao Xueqin is writing her own characters, and the continuation person is writing about the soul of others, just like copying calligraphy and painting, after all, there is a difference. Moreover, the last forty times it was not exquisite.
The so-called last forty times are Cao Xueqin's early and late works, resulting in different views of the text simply untenable, maturity can change, and the "soul" will not change.
Just like Jin Yong wrote "Book of Swords and Enmity" and "Deer Ding" have completely different maturity, but as long as you look at the text, you can know that the Jin Yong symbols in it are consistent.
Just like the illustration of "Illustrated Dream of the Red Chamber" quoted in this article, it is also not a painter's handwriting, and you will know it at a glance. You can observe.
The soul of the words before and after the eighty times is different, and you will know it by reading it carefully. It is definitely not Cao Xueqin's original pen.
However, even if the last forty times are a continuation of the book, it is in the opposite direction with Cao Xueqin's original pen, and it still cannot erase his great achievements.
It is Cheng Weiyuan and Gao E who have compiled and published the complete version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" that will make "Dream of the Red Chamber" more widely and greater. Otherwise, there are only eighty "fragments", and no complete ending is doomed to have so much impact.
The complete "Dream of the Red Chamber" retains the tragedy of Bao Dai's love, and even appears more tragic in terms of story, which makes "Dream of the Red Chamber" more heart-wrenching and more uncomfortable. Only this, the contribution of Cheng Gao and the two is enormous.
Originally, according to Qin Keqing's "Qin", the "too virtual" environment was too virtual, and the setting of falling into dreams was emotional. Cao Xueqin undoubtedly borrowed the love theme in Qin Guan Qin Taixuan's words as the love purpose of "Dream of the Red Chamber".
As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless victories in the world;
If the two loves are long, they are in the twilight of the dynasty.
It should be the key to Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu's ability to "reconcile" although their love is fruitless. Apparently the sequel has turned everything upside down.
In any case, the last forty continuations compiled and selected by Cheng Weiyuan and Gao E, when Cheng Jia and Cheng Yi came out as printed copies of the publication, also avoided the problem that the manuscript was difficult to circulate and more problems of false errors. It's a great achievement. After all, "Dream of the Red Chamber" is mutilated, which can only be regretted.
