Eileen Zhang once said that there are three hates in life: one hates the begonia without fragrance, the second hates the shad prickly, and the third hates the red mansion is not finished.
I think it is precisely because the Red Mansion is not finished, so there are many unsolved mysteries; Because there are unsolved mysteries, it has attracted generations of red fans to explore and discuss.
In addition, the content of "Dream of the Red Mansion" is also real and fantastic, "the real thing is hidden, and the false language is the village language", which is even more unforgettable.
Recently, I got a copy of "The Illusion and Reality of the Stone Record", and I couldn't wait to read it, and I felt very thirsty.
This book disassembles many details in "Dream of the Red Mansion" from the perspective of fantasy and reality, starting from the historical Cao family, and dissecting the relationship between the characters in the book and historical figures.
1. In "Dream of the Red Mansion", Jia Yuanchun was added as a virtuous concubine; Historically, Cao Yin's eldest daughter was married by Kangxi and married Narsu, the king of Pingjun, and became a concubine Fujin.
2. In the seventh episode of "Dream of the Red Mansion", Jiao Da said that he had fought with the Taiye and saved the Taiye's life; Historically, Cao Yin's grandfather was a subordinate of Dorgon and followed Dorgon to the southern expedition to the north.
3. Jia Mu's two sons, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng, whose names are collectively "Regent"; Historically, Dorgon was a regent and his power fell to the opposition.
4. Lin Daiyu's birthday in "Dream of the Red Mansion" is February 12, which is the birthday of a hundred flowers in the tradition, and it just so happens that Cao Xuan's birthday in history is also February 12.
……
"The Fantasy and Reality of the Stone Record" is interesting to read, which makes me watch "Dream of the Red Mansion" from a little more perspective.
