Recently, Professor Zhao Jianzhong, vice president of the Chinese Society of Dream of Red Mansions and doctoral supervisor of Tianjin Normal University, gave a speech titled "Distinguishing Forgery of Stone Records of "Guiyou Version"" at the founding meeting of Henan Province Dream of Red Mansions Research Association. gave a speech and published the speech text on the official account of the Henan Dream of Red Mansions Society. Professor Zhao conducted a so-called "discrimination" on some contents of the "Guiyou Edition". He Xuanhe of Wu's Hongxue wrote an article "Refutation of Mr. Zhao Jianzhong's "Guiyou Edition" Stone Records for Forgery", which far-fetched Professor Zhao. Arbitrary and contradictory views will be refuted. Below I will comment on Professor Zhao’s misunderstanding of “Wu’s Red Studies” and misreading of Daiyu’s poems.
Professor Zhao said in the article: The purpose of the publisher of the "Guiyou version" of "The Story of the Stone" is to prove that "A Dream of Red Mansions" was not created by Cao Xueqin during the Qianlong period, but by Wumei Village in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. In fact, "A Dream of Red Mansions" Two pieces of internal evidence in the text already show the absurdity of this statement. Evidence 1 is in Chapter 21. After Baoyu went to the upper room, Daiyu came and saw that Baoyu was not in the room. Because he was looking through the book on the case, he happened to find yesterday's "Zhuangzi". When I read the continuation, I felt angry and laughing. I couldn't help but pick up the pen and continue the book with a sentence: "Who is writing for no reason? It is because of Nanhua Zhuangzi. I don't regret that I have no knowledge, but I blame others for the ugly words." According to "Zhuangzi Yin", it is a famous work annotating "Zhuangzi" compiled by Lin Yunming (1628-1697) in the 27th year of Kangxi (1688), and Wumeicun (June 21, 1609 - January 23, 1672) Japan) died as early as the eleventh year of Emperor Kangxi's reign (1672). At that time, "Zhuang Ziyin" had not yet been written.
Professor Zhao participated in the founding meeting of the Henan Province Dream of Red Mansions Society as the vice president of the Chinese Society of Dream of Red Mansions, and gave a special speech on the identification of forgeries of the "Guiyou Version", which should have a great influence. Professor Zhao must have done enough to criticize the publisher of the "Guiyou Edition", identify the content of the "Guiyou Edition", and refute the "Wu Family's Redology" view held by the author Wu Meicun in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. homework. However, judging from the content of Professor Zhao's speech, he did not fully understand the views of his criticizing opponent "Wu's Hongxue". Since Professor Zhao wants to authenticate the "Guiyou Edition", he must have carefully read " Guiyou Edition 28 Chapters of the Stone Chronicles ", which was authorized by the collector He Lili and published by He Xuanhe and Jin Junjun. Judging from Professor Zhao’s speech published on the official account of the Dream of Red Mansions Society in Henan Province, there are book shadows and appendices of the “Collector’s Edition” of “The 28 Chapters of Gui You Ben Shi Shi Ji ” published by Contemporary World Publishing House in 2017. There is an excerpt of the first 80 chapters of the Guiyou Edition of Stone Records. The first article is: "This book is an old work by Wu Shimei Village. It has a total of 108 chapters. It is called "Fengyue Baojian" and each chapter only has three or four pages. The story is complete, but it is not polished and feels a bit dull. Before Wu's death, he asked his friends to preserve it, and it remained unused for decades. There were many additions and deletions made by ancestors, but none of them were satisfactory. It was not temporary. I have been ordered to make additions and deletions to this book, so as not to leave the Wu version empty. , although there is the word bandit in the later chapters, the content is all about the historical events of the Yellow Turban and Red Eyebrows in the Han and Tang Dynasties. Because it did not interfere with the government affairs, it was copied and revised, and it was renamed "The Story of the Stone". "You see, it is clearly stated here that it was originally created by Wumeicun, and later. Someone was asked by friends in Wumei Village to make additions and deletions. I also quoted this passage in the preface I wrote for this "Collector's Edition" and mentioned a comment in Chapter 67 provided by the collector. This comment is not found in other manuscripts. It reads: " Recently, Xue Qin polished Eryou's story, feeling that it was not very important, and his interest was greatly reduced. He asked Brother Liu and his female disciples to copy the chapters on their behalf, but the reading was quite hasty and it is difficult to determine whether it is preserved. In addition, there are "Brother Liu", "Female Disciple" and others, which also confirms that Chapter 67 was not written by Xue Qin, which is recognized by the Red Academy. As for who "Xue Qin", "Brother Liu" and "Female Disciple" are? Our "Wu's Hongxue" research team is also in the process of exploration. Collector He Lili's father believes that the additions and deletions were made by Zha Shibiao (1615-1698, courtesy name Erzhan, also known as Meihe, Lanlao, Meihe Sanren, from Xiuning, Anhui), and Kong Shangren (1648-1718, courtesy name Pinzhi, Also known as Jizhong, nicknamed Dongtang, and nicknamed Antang, he calls himself a native of Qufu, Shandong Province.Our "Wu Shi Hongxue" has a relatively consistent view that Kong Shangren (Donglu Kong Meixi ) added and deleted the first 20 chapters and then "separated from the creek" and returned to Beijing. Regardless of who added or deleted it, we believe that the addition or deletion of "A Dream of Red Mansions" occurred more than ten years after Wu Meicun's death, and the time period was approximately 1685 Yichou Year to 1702 Renwu Year. These additions and deletions were all much younger than Wu Meicun, and they were all alive when Lin Yunming compiled and published Zhuang Ziyin in 1688. Professor Zhao obviously believes that our view of "Wu's Hongxue" is Wu Meicun's original creation of "Dream of Red Mansions", and uses Lin Yunming's 1688 compilation of "Zhuang Ziyin" to try to explain the absurdity of Wu Meicun's time traveling to later generations. Unfortunately, Professor Zhao's punch was empty. .
There is this passage in the Jiaxu version of "Fanli": "This book has many titles. One is "Dream of Red Mansions", which is the name of all of them; another is "Fengyue Baojian", which is to warn against rashly touching the feelings of Fengyue; and "The Story of the Stone" refers to the things recorded on the stone. "In "A Dream of Red Mansions", there is the following plot: "Later, I don't know how many lives and calamities passed, because a Taoist named Kong Kong visited Taoism to seek immortality. Passing under the Qinggeng Peak of Wuji Cliff in the Great Wilderness Mountain, I suddenly saw clear writing on a large stone, compiling the calendar. Taoist Kongkong took a look at it from the beginning, and it turned out that it was a man who had no material to patch up the sky and came into the world in disguise. Entering the human world, experiencing the joys and sorrows of the world. There is another verse at the end: If you have no talent to mend the sky, you will waste so many years in the human world. Who will remember to write a legend? "There is a paragraph at the end of the article: "Kongkong Taoist saw color in the sky, and the color gave rise to emotion, and the emotion was conveyed to the color, and the color was realized, so he changed his name to Qingseng, and changed "The Story of Stone" to "The Record of Qingseng". Wu Yufeng titled it "A Dream of Red Mansions" and Donglu Kong Meixi titled it "Fengyue Baojian". Later, Cao Xueqin read it for ten years in Mourning Hongxuan, added and deleted it five times, compiled it into a catalog, and divided it into chapters. "Jinling Twelve Hairpins ". Zhizhi Yanzhai Jiaxu copied and re-reviewed, still using "The Story of the Stone". "Based on the above text information, it can be seen that the original author of "A Dream of Red Mansions" pretended to be "Stone" (Kongkong Taoist people called "Stone". "Brother Shi") created "The Story of the Stone", which was copied and renamed "The Record of the Love Monk" by "Kongkong Taoist". Later, "Wu Yufeng" and "Donglu Kongmeixi" both contributed to the additions and deletions of "A Dream of Red Mansions" , if only the inscription changed the title of the book, it is unlikely that the wedge text would mention them. The last person with the pseudonym "Cao Xueqin" made the greatest contribution to this book. He "reviewed it for ten years and added and deleted it five times." In other words, the book "Dream of Red Mansions" was created by many people before and after it. Our "Wu Family Hongxue" views on the writing process of "Dream of Red Mansions" are completely consistent with the text information. However, Hu Shi adopts a casual attitude towards the information about the author and the writing process of "A Dream of Red Mansions". He believes that the "Stone" who wrote the book, the Taoist Kongkong who passed it on, and Donglu Kongmeixi who inscribed the title of the book are all "Cao Xueqin" "The Origin of Falsehood", the book "The Story of the Stone" was written by Cao Xueqin alone. He is not an "adder or deletion" but the only author. Today's mainstream experts still insist on Hu Shi's erroneous views. Who is ridiculous?
Let's analyze the second sentence of Daiyu's Qijue poem. Should it be "committing practice to Nanhua Zhuangzi Yin" or "committing practice to Nanhua Zhuangziwen"? I checked various manuscripts. The Gengchen version, the Mengfu version, the Liezang version, the Qi Xu version, and the Shu Xu version are all "Zuojian Nanhua Zhuangziyin". The manuscript of Dream of Red Mansions is "plagiarized from Nanhua Zhuangzi's work", with the word "zuojian" obliterated and changed to "plagiarized", and the "yin" of "Zhuangzi Yin" changed to "wen". The preface to the master of Mengjue (Jiachen version) is "Zuojian Nanhua Zhuangziwen". Mainstream red scholars basically believe that this poem is "the reason for practicing Nanhua Zhuangzi". Zhou Ruchang pointed out in the section "1688 (Wuchen in the 27th year of Kangxi)" in the seventh chapter of "New Evidence of the Dream of Red Mansions" "Historical Years": "In the autumn of that year, Lin Yunming wrote "Zhuang Ziyin" with his own preface. Revised edition.According to "Zhuangzi Yin", it is an explanation of the book "Zhuangzi". After the original text of "Zhuangzi", each person's own words are used to connect the words to discover the purpose and meaning. It still slightly follows the punctuation style of Ming Dynasty commentaries, and slightly inspires the interest of the article. The late Chinese scholars such as Wang Xianqian and Guo Qingfan had a very different system of exegesis of sentences, notes, and characters. However, the annotated version of "Zhuangzi" read by people in Xueqin's time was exactly like this. Chapter 21 of "Dream of Red Mansions" is written by Baoyu as a continuation of "Zhuang", and Daiyu wrote a poem, "Who is the person who writes without reason, and writes "Nanhua" and "Zhuangzi Yin"?" refers to this. The editor unexpectedly changed the word "Zhuangziwen" from Fangben to "Zhuangziwen", because he did not know that the three characters "Zhuangziyin" are consecutive and are a proper name. ” Cai Yijiang In the book "Commentary on Poems, Music and Fu of a Dream of Red Mansions", from a metrical perspective, he believes that it should be "Zuojian Nanhua Zhuangzi Yin". He said: "Yin" and "人" are both the same rhyme in Shang Ping Sheng's "Eleven True" , changing it to "文" is not the same rhyme.
To understand this problem, we must first start with the text of "Dream of Red Mansions" to see what book Baoyu is reading in this plot and what Daiyu is writing about. The relevant plot of Chapter 21 is as follows:
On this day, Baoyu did not go out much, nor did he mess around with his sisters, girls, etc. He was bored by himself, just reading books to relieve his boredom, or writing and writing. He didn't ask anyone, but asked Si'er to agree. Unexpectedly, Si'er was a smart and well-behaved girl. Seeing that Baoyu was using him, he tried every means to win over Baoyu. After dinner, Baoyu's eyes and ears were hot from eating two glasses of wine. On this occasion, if there were attackers waiting for everyone in the past, everyone would be laughing and having fun, but today there is no one looking at the lamp, and they are really not interested. I am going to drive them away, but I am afraid that they will get their way, so I will come more and more to persuade them to do it. It seems too ruthless to use the above rules. You can't just treat them as dead, but you can live as if they are dead. You have no worries and can be happy with your fate. While making tea, I read " Nanhua Sutra " for myself. I was reading an article in "Wai Pian: The Sui", which said: "Therefore, if the sage abandons knowledge, the big thief will stop; if he destroys the jade and destroys the pearl, the petty thief will not be able to afford it." , burn the talisman and break the seal, but the people are simple and humble, fight and break the balance, but the people do not fight, destroy the sacred law of the world, and then the people can discuss it. Promote the chaos of the six laws, smash the yu harp, plug the ears of Gu Kuang, but the founder of the world has his wisdom; destroy the article, scatter the five talents, glue away the eyes of Zhu, but the founder of the world has his wisdom, destroy the hook Abandoning the rules and grasping the rope, the first man in the world had his own ingenuity. "[Translation: Therefore, if the sage abandons his wisdom, the big thieves will stop; if he throws away jade and destroys the jewelry, the small thieves will disappear; if he burns the talisman and destroys the seal, the people will be simple and honest; if he breaks the dendrobium and breaks the scale beam, the people will There will be no fighting; destroy the laws of the sages in the world, so that the people can talk about right and wrong; disrupt the six laws, break all kinds of musical instruments, and block Shi Kuang's ears, so that the people of the world can preserve their original hearing; eliminate the ornaments. , disperse the five colors, stick to Li Zhu's eyes, so that the people of the world can preserve their original vision; destroy the hooks and ink lines, abandon the compasses and squares, break the fingers of the workers, so that the people of the world can preserve their original wisdom. 】Seeing this, he was full of interest. Taking advantage of the wine, he couldn't help but write and continue: "Burn the flowers and scatter the musk deer, and the founder of the boudoir is trying to persuade me to kill the celestial beauty of the precious hairpin and the spiritual orifice of the gray jade. Lose less." Affection, and the beauty and evil of the boudoir are similar. If he accepts his advice, he will have no worries about being a businessman, he will kill his immortal beauty, he will have no love, his spiritual acupoint will be gray, and he will have no emotion of talent and thought. The hairpins, jade, flowers, and musk deer all spread out their robes and dug into their tunnels, so they were confused and entangled in the world. ” There is no difference in their qualifications. If they give up the idea of persuasion, they will no longer have the worry of conflict with each other. If they destroy Baochai's beauty, they will no longer have the desire to love her; Without any admiration for her talent, Baochai, Daiyu, Xiren, and Sheyue all opened their nets and dug traps, confusing the world and making it difficult for them to extricate themselves. As soon as his head hit the pillow, he suddenly fell asleep. He didn't know where he was all night, and he didn't wake up until dawn.When he turned over to look, he saw Xi Renyi sleeping on the quilt. Baoyu had forgotten what happened yesterday, so he pushed him away and said, "I feel so sleepy when I wake up. I think I'm freezing." It turned out that Xiren saw him messing around with his sisters at dawn, so if he tried to persuade him, he couldn't change his mind. Use tenderness to warn him, and he is expected to recover within half a day. Unexpectedly, Baoyu didn't change his mind all day and night, so he couldn't make up his mind and couldn't sleep well all night. Now that I suddenly saw Baoyu like this, I expected that his mind would change, so I ignored him. Seeing that he didn't respond, Baoyu reached out to unbutton his clothes. As soon as he unbuttoned the button, the attacker pushed his hand away and buttoned it again. Baoyu had no choice but to hold his hand and said with a smile: "What's wrong with you?" After asking several times, Xiren opened his eyes and said: "I don't have anything wrong with you either. When you wake up, go to the room over there to freshen up. If it's too late, I won't be able to catch up." Baoyu said, "Where should I go?" Xiren sneered, "You ask me, I know? Go wherever you like. From now on, let's put our hands aside so as not to make others laugh if we get tired of it. Fu Shi. This thing of ours is just a shameful insult to a good name." Baoyu smiled and said, "You still remember it today. !" Xiren said, "I still remember it after a hundred years! I can't help but ignore my words. I said them at night and forgot them when I got up early." Baoyu couldn't help but pick them up from the pillow. A hosta came, fell into two sections, and said, "If I don't listen to you, I will be just like this." Xiren was busy He picked up the hairpin and said, "Why bother to get up so early in the morning? It's worth it to be like this if you don't listen to what's important." Baoyu said, "You know I'm worried!" Xiren smiled and said, "You know it too. Are you in a hurry? Do you know what's going on in my heart? Just get up and wash your face." With that said, the two of them got up to freshen up. After Baoyu went up to the room, Daiyu came up and saw that Baoyu was not in the room. She was flipping through the case to read a book, and happened to find yesterday's "Zhuangzi". When I read the continuation, I couldn't help feeling angry and laughing, and I couldn't help but write a continuation: "Who is writing for no reason? He is practicing Nanhua Zhuangzi's essays. He does not regret his own ignorance, but blames other people for his ugly words." After finishing writing, I also went to the upper room to see Mother Jia, and then to Mrs. Wang's house.
In this episode, Baoyu read the original text of "Zhuangzi" (also called "South China Sutra"). Where is Lin Yunming's "Zhuangzi Yin" annotating "Zhuangzi"? We read Baoyu's "continuation" carefully. In fact, this is not a "continuation", but a short essay based on the semantics of the original text of "Zhuangzi" and based on the events of "Yihongyuan". Based on the original text of "Zhuangzi" that Baoyu read, combined with the "continuation" written by Baoyu, Daiyu blamed Baoyu for practicing "Zhuangzi" instead of Lin Yunming's "Zhuangzi Yin". Since "Zhuangzi" was handed down to the world, there have been countless books annotating it. Baoyu wrote a short article imitating "Zhuangzi". To say that "composing practice" is also "committing practice" to "Zhuangzi", what does it have to do with the books annotating "Zhuangzi"? It is even more incomparable with Lin Yunming's "Zhuang Zi Yin". Baoyu's short article is not an idle article. It is actually a prophecy and hint of Baoyu's ending. In the end, the Jia family was destroyed, and Baoyu "gave up his hands on the cliff" and truly became a loner.
Professor Cai Yijiang said that it would be illegal to change "Zhuang Zi Yin" to "Zhuang Zi Wen". Mainstream red scholars unanimously agree with Professor Cai Yijiang's views, and Professor Zhao Jianzhong also copies them without hesitation. This reflects the lack of in-depth research on " Poems of a Dream of Red Mansions " by mainstream red scholars, who mistakenly believe that all "Poetry of a Dream of Red Mansions" uses flat water rhymes. Wang Huadong, a researcher in Tumo Red Mandarinology, made a comprehensive test of "Poems of a Dream of Red Mansions" and found that about 80% used Pingshui rhyme, and about 20% used "Hongwu Zhengyun" and Wu dialect dialect. Pingshui Yun was compiled in the Tang Dynasty. After the Song, Yuan and other troubled times, the pronunciation has been messed up. Therefore, when Zhu Yuanzhang established his capital in Nanjing, he compiled "Hongwu Zhengyun". Hongwu's Zhengyun has 76 rhymes. In the 54th year of Kangxi's reign (1711), "Peiwen Yunfu" compiled by Kangxi himself announced that it was the same as Pingshui's 106 rhymes. From the poems in "A Dream of Red Mansions" that rhyme with Hongwu Zhengyun and Wu dialect, we can also judge that this book was produced in the early Qing Dynasty and could not have been produced in the Qianlong Dynasty in the mid-Qing Dynasty.Mainstream redology believes that the author of "Dream of Red Mansions" is Cao Xueqin of the Qianlong Dynasty. This Cao Xueqin did not leave any complete poetry works. After testing the poems of Cao Xueqin's friends Duncheng and Dunmin, they all used flat water rhyme, which is similar to "Hongwu Zheng". Rhyme" has nothing to do with it. Are any of the poets of the Qianlong Dynasty still using "Hongwu Zhengyun" combined with the Wu dialect to compose poems? I'm afraid I can't find it. Let's look at Daiyu's poem again. According to "Hongwu Zhengyun", "人", "Yin", and "文" are all in the Bazhen rhyme, and they all rhyme. Based on the above analysis, it is concluded that the second sentence of Daiyu's poem should be "Zuo Jian Nanhua Zhuangziwen".
Professor Zhao Jianzhong said: "The purpose of the publisher of the 'Guiyou version' of "The Story of the Stone" is to prove that "A Dream of Red Mansions" was not created by Cao Xueqin during the Qianlong period, but by Wu Meicun in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties." As far as I know, in 2008 He Lili was chatting in a QQ group in 2011. The group chatted about "Dream of Red Mansions", and He Lili said that his family had a complete set of 108 chapters. Because everyone knows that there are only the first 80 chapters of "Dream of Red Mansions" in the manuscript, and the last 40 chapters of Cheng Gao's version are a continuation of the dog's tail. Red fans have always been very concerned about the ending of "A Dream of Red Mansions", and they are all moved by the fact that "A Dream of Red Mansions" is a Venus with a broken arm. I feel great regret. Group friend Jin Junjun and others asked He Lili to upload "The Second 28 Chapters of Guiyou". Here I would like to correct the self-conjecture of Professor Zhao and many fans. According to He Lili, his collection contains a complete set of 108 chapters, which means that there are not only the last 28 chapters, but also the first 80 chapters. "Guiyou Ben Shi Ji" is not What a continuation, but a complete and complete book. He Lili not only published the last 28 chapters in the form of documents, but also published the 10th and 67th chapters of the first 80 chapters. He also published many comments that were not found in other manuscripts, especially the comments in and copied by Mao Guoyao. "Guiyou version" above. Zhou Ruchanghao, who was regarded as the leading figure in Hongxue at that time, failed to fill in the blanks and straighten out the commentaries in the Jingben Book of Heaven, but these comments are clearly in the "Guiyouben". If anyone says that the "Guiyou Edition" is a pseudo-continuation, it is not an academic issue, it is an issue of IQ and interests! As for what Professor Zhao said about the publishers of the "Guiyou Edition" who wanted to overthrow the mainstream red scholarship, what I want to say is that Professor Zhao, you are overthinking it. The publishers of the "Guiyou Edition", He Lili, Jin Junjun, and He Xuanhe, don't have the brains. It's as complicated as you think. As long as the red fans who really love "Dream of Red Mansions" are eager to see the ending of "Dream of Red Mansions", who cares about Xiao Jiujiu in the hearts of mainstream red Man scholars? We fans of "Wu's Hongxue" and true love of "Dream of Red Mansions" just want to uncover the truth of this book, and mainstream Hongxue can continue to dig into the Cao family affairs. Only time will prove who is who.
