Grandmother Jia celebrated Xifeng's birthday, which was very lively. Baoyu asked Yan Ming to take him to a secluded place in the suburbs to worship "a friend" and finally collected soil as incense in the Narcissus Temple.

When Baoyu came home, he saw Yuchuan wiping his tears alone, so he wanted to tell her about going to the suburbs to pay homage. Yuchuan advised him to go back to see the grandmother. Grandmother Jia was very angry when she learned that Baoyu had gone out. When she heard that Baoyu had come back, she didn't mention it. ?

The forty-fourth time, something unexpected happened. Xifeng poured vinegar and was overjoyed. Pinger wears makeup.

After a few more drinks, Xi-feng went to rest early, but told Jia Lian about Bao Er's family. Hearing Jia Lian and Bao Er praising Pinger, Xifeng thought Pinger was involved, so she took it out on Pinger and had a big fight until the old lady came to mediate.

On a stormy night, Daiyu wrote the word "rainy night in autumn window". Baoyu visited in the rain. Daiyu laughed at him as a "fisherman" and later laughed at herself as a "fisherman". She regretted it and Baoyu didn't notice it.

Jia Yucun falsely accused him of confiscating the property of the stone madman, but Baoyu disagreed and was beaten by Jia Zheng again.

Back to the sixty-fifth Jia Ershe secretly married You Sanjie, the second daughter of you, and thought of marrying Liu Erlang.

Sixty-sixth, I feel ashamed to return to the cold Jiro of hell, and I am cold into an empty net.

Xinger told the second sister that Baoyu was clear outside and turbid inside, while the third sister praised Baoyu for being confused. You Sanjie told Second Sister and Jia Lian that she wanted to marry Liu Xianglian. Jia Lian went to Pingan State to handle affairs, Lu Yu married Xue Pan and Liu Xianglian, the brothers of life and death, and Liu Xianglian gave the ancestral Yuanyang sword to Third Sister as a gift.

Baoyu praised Third Sister to Xianglian, who said that there were only two stone lions in Ningfu, and Jia Lian wanted a sword. Third sister killed herself with a sword. Xianglian regretted it and became a monk.

Sixty-seventh session, Yi Tu, hometown of Qingsi, see you later, Wenmi, jie feng, Xun.

Aunt Xue explained to Baochai the suicide of Third Sister and regretted that Xianglian had become a monk with the Taoist priest. Baochai didn't care, so she asked Xue to prepare a seat and invited Xue Pannan to go with her. Baochai distributed the soil that Xue Pan brought from the south to everyone. Daiyu's was different from others' and was twice as thick. Daiyu was very sad when she saw the local things at home. She lamented that she had no parents or brothers and was sent to a relative's house.

The sixty-eighth time, the bitter mother earned money in the Grand View Garden, and the sour Xifeng made a scene in Ningguo House.

Xifeng confessed her cleverness to Second Sister and asked her to move in. The second sister actually recognized Xifeng as a bosom friend and entered the Grand View Garden together. Feng hired Zhang Hua to sue Jia Lian, and Zhang Hua sued Wang Er and Jia Rong in Douchayuan. Xifeng took Jia Rong to tear up You Shi. Especially the mother and son promised to make up 520 pieces of silver, asking Xifeng to be considerate and convenient in front of the old lady;

Back to the sixty-ninth time, I took the little one and killed him with a sword. I felt that the time limit was to swallow gold and die.

Xifeng asked Zhang Hua to sue the original match. Zhang's father was rich and rich, and he wanted to go to Jia's house to find someone. Xifeng told the old lady that the old lady asked the second sister to fight and the old lady asked Xifeng to take care of it. Through Rong and Zhen, Feng told Zhang Hua not to bring anyone, and Zhang and his son got about 100 gold and returned to their hometown.

Back to the seventieth time, Lin Daiyu rebuilt the Peach Blossom Club, and Shi Xiangyun accidentally wrote catkins.

Baoyu fled because of the cold, but he killed You Xiaomei with his sword, and Jin died of Second Sister You. He was so angry that he fell ill on Liu Wuer. He was so worried and angry that he couldn't add a word, and his language was often confused.

The seventy-first time, people who have bad feelings have bad feelings, and Yuanyang women have no intention of meeting Yuanyang.

On the third day of August, the eightieth anniversary was only called the meeting between Shi, Xue, Qin, Lin and Tan and Nan 'an. When you were hungry, she went to Xifeng's room first. When Xifeng was away, Pinger didn't eat snacks. When she went to the garden again, she saw that the main entrance and the corner gate of the garden were not closed. The two women who divided the fruits and vegetables heard that they were grandma in the East Room, so they didn't pay much attention.

Seventy-two times, Wang Xifeng said that she was ill and rich, and she got married according to the situation.

Si Qi was ill because his uncle and brother ran away without permission. Yuanyang waited for Siqi and vowed not to tell anyone. Si Qi thanked him very much. Yuanyang took a look at Xifeng and said that Xifeng's blood collapsed. Jia Lian asked Yuanyang to temporarily smuggle out a box of gold and silver that the old lady could not find, and temporarily detained several thousand taels of silver to support her.

The seventy-third time, the silly girl took the embroidered spring bag by mistake, and the timid lady didn't ask tired Jinfeng.

It is very rare for Mrs. Xing to see silly elder sister pick up embroidered spring bags and stuff them in her sleeves. She wants to know where it comes from. It is invisible. Mrs. Xing reprimanded Yingchun for not talking about wet nurses, and was caught gambling, which was unknown to outsiders. Mrs. Xing scolded Lian and Feng for not listening to Yingchun. Xifeng wanted to serve, but Mrs. Xing refused.

After Fang Guan and others went, Mrs. Wang went to grandma to save Tianming. When she saw that grandma liked it, she told me about Qingwen. Grandma said that the maids were not as clever as Qingwen.

Xia Jingui changed Xiangling to Qiu Ling. Jingui pulled Xiangling with Baochan and Xue Pan, and Xiangling followed Baochai, resulting in dry blood. Jingui humiliated Baochan again. Xue Pan regretted marrying this troublemaker.

Extended data:

A Dream of Red Mansions has three worlds: one is a poetic world; The second is the real world; The third is the world of philosophy. The three are interdependent and indispensable.

Ignoring the existence of any one of these worlds will greatly reduce the evaluation of the ideological value and artistic value of A Dream of Red Mansions, and the understanding and interpretation of A Dream of Red Mansions will be incomplete or even fallacious. The critical mode of "triple world" embodies the tradition of "philosophy of literature, history and philosophy" in ancient China, which has certain universal significance.

In the 1970s, some scholars put forward the theory of "two worlds" in A Dream of Red Mansions, arguing that there are two completely different and opposite worlds in A Dream of Red Mansions, which are called "Utopian World" and "Real World" respectively. These two worlds, embodied in the book A Dream of Red Mansions, are the world of the Grand View Garden and the world outside the Grand View Garden.

This proposition is mainly aimed at the accumulated disadvantages of the "old redology" of Suoyin school and the "new redology" of textual research school. Whether it is the mystery of "family history" pursued by Suoyin School or the theory of "autobiographical biography" of Textual Research School, it is suspected that literary truth is confused with historical truth and life truth.

A Dream of Red Mansions is, after all, a literary work, and the focus of redology research should shift from historiography to literature. The theory of "two worlds" really played an inspiring role at that time and was regarded as a "Dream of Red Mansions Revolution".

In a blink of an eye, nearly half a century passed. After jumping out of the strange circle of historical research, the garden of redology blossomed and flourished. However, the literary study of A Dream of Red Mansions still has a long way to go.

A Dream of Red Mansions seems to be a huge artistic maze, and people have different opinions on its understanding. As Mr. Lu Xun said, in A Dream of Red Mansions, "Confucian scholars see the Book of Changes, Taoists see lewdness, talented people see lingering, revolutionaries see rows of people, and gossips see the secrets of the palace".

How to grasp the literary world of A Dream of Red Mansions more completely and accurately? The theory of "two worlds" can only bring redology back to the road of literary research, but it is unable to solve this fundamental problem.

The theory of "two worlds" in A Dream of Red Mansions still has many shortcomings, which need to be revised and supplemented. Call the world of Grand View Garden "Utopian World" or "Ideal World", use it to refer to the whole literary world of A Dream of Red Mansions built by Cao Xueqin after ten years' efforts, and set it against the real world.

This view mainly focuses on criticizing the real world and praising the "ideal world" in A Dream of Red Mansions, but ignores the reflection on the so-called "ideal world" of Daguan Garden in A Dream of Red Mansions and the love-hate relationship with real life. The so-called "ideal world" is not perfect, and the real world is not without its merits.

The relationship between "ideal world" and "real world" should not be completely opposite. They are actually a contradictory unity, and there is the possibility of complementarity and transformation. In addition, when talking about the "real world", the views of the two worlds not only point to real life, but also involve literary creation, and there is no good distinction between the two.

The "triple world" theory is obviously different from the "two worlds" theory in content and nature. In the "triple world" theory, the "poetic world" mainly refers to the world within the Grand View Garden, which may not be so perfect in itself, but in the eyes of young Jia Baoyu, it is full of poetry everywhere.

In fact, there are also political struggles in the Grand View Garden, but the young Jia Baoyu is inexperienced and doesn't pay much attention to it. Therefore, the existence of "poetic world" is not only related to the environment, but also related to the narrative perspective. A Dream of Red Mansions sometimes sees the world through Jia Baoyu's eyes. Jia Baoyu's poetic temperament determines that the Grand View Garden in his eyes exudes a rich poetic atmosphere.

"Real world" mainly refers to the world outside the Grand View Garden, or the world outside the vision of young Jia Baoyu's life. With the growth of Jia Baoyu, the poetic color of the Grand View Garden gradually faded. Jia Baoyu can't live in the Grand View Garden forever. He will grow up one day, walk out of the Grand View Garden and face a more realistic life.

Jia Baoyu was dubbed by Baochai as a "rich and idle person". He likes to live a luxurious life and all the beautiful things. However, as the Song of the Good says, where there is good, there is evil. Life does not depend on human will.

The relationship between "poetic world" and "real world" is not diametrically opposed and mutually exclusive. The "philosophical world" has built a bridge of communication between them.

In A Dream of Red Mansions, the philosophical world is not an abstract existence, but is concretely presented through artistic images such as myth, dreamland and a monk together. Some scholars think that "the Grand View Garden is just a fantasy", but they don't recognize the difference between the two and classify it as an "ideal world".

In fact, the philosophical world represented by dreamland and fairyland dominates the world inside and outside the Grand View Garden, which exists at a higher level than the Grand View Garden.

The "triple world" in A Dream of Red Mansions is interdependent, interpenetrating and inseparable. In Jia Baoyu's view, the "poetic world" is the glamorous appearance of life, and its brilliance covers up the bloody and cruel "real world".

"The world of philosophy" stands aloof and looks at daily life with a detached attitude. Together, they form a full and vivid artistic world of A Dream of Red Mansions.

The wonderful description of "poetic world" is the most artistic charm of A Dream of Red Mansions. Boys and girls, the seeds of love, spent a lot of time reciting and writing poems. This kind of writing is easy to arouse the desire of ordinary readers, but it is despised by researches and textual criticism.

They believe that the poetic beauty of A Dream of Red Mansions belongs to the category of literary appreciation and has no academic research value. Therefore, the focus of redology research is not here.

The description of the "real world" in A Dream of Red Mansions is obscure, not as explicit as that in Jin Ping Mei, which is also the most interesting place for scholars of researches and textual research. The accumulated research results are very rich and complex and need to be cleaned up.

As far as the study of the philosophical world of A Dream of Red Mansions is concerned, although scholars such as Wang Guowei set foot in it as early as the beginning of the twentieth century, on the whole, the results are limited. In the triple world of A Dream of Red Mansions, this is the weakest link in the research results, and it is also a key direction for the future development of A Dream of Red Mansions.

To make a breakthrough in the study of redology, the key is to break the self-closed cycle of literature and history research and introduce philosophical research into it. Just as Zhuangzi's articles are both beautiful prose and profound philosophical works, A Dream of Red Mansions not only has the value of literary research, but also contains profound philosophy.

A Dream of Red Mansions absorbed the essence of China's traditional Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and made a profound reflection on life from two aspects: entering the WTO and being born. The images of monks often appear in novels, and monks always walk together. It can be seen that the author's purpose is not to unilaterally promote a certain religion, but to have another meaning.

The fictional fairy tales Dreamland and Wonderland remind readers to know the essence of life through the appearance of life.

We might as well borrow Laozi's thoughts to further deepen our understanding of the philosophical world of A Dream of Red Mansions. Laozi said, "Tao gives birth to one, two, three and everything." "Tao" is an abstract law, "I" is a concrete and complete thing, "II" refers to the contradictory poles of things, and "III" refers to any point between the poles.

Because "three" is arbitrary and can represent ever-changing things. In A Dream of Red Mansions, "poetry" and "reality" respectively represent the bipolar forms of life. Every character in the book walks between poetry and reality, birth and WTO, and walks a different life path.

It can be seen that one-sided emphasis on "poetic world" or "real world" cannot cover all the author's thoughts. How to find an appropriate life path between "poetry" and "reality" is the key to the philosophy of life in A Dream of Red Mansions.

The separation of literature, history and philosophy is a major feature of China's humanistic tradition. The greatness of A Dream of Red Mansions is the result of the interaction of literature, history and philosophy. As far as the triple world in A Dream of Red Mansions is concerned, the poetic world is the most literary, while the real world is closer to history.

Whether appreciating "Wen" or criticizing "history", we should not ignore the existence of a philosophical world in A Dream of Red Mansions. We should look at the relationship between poetry and reality from a dialectical perspective, instead of "sticking to one end and ignoring the rest".

In such a masterpiece as A Dream of Red Mansions, "the world of philosophy" is by no means dispensable. Appreciating A Dream of Red Mansions, if it only stays at the level of literature and history, and can't finally rise to the philosophical level to think about life, is tantamount to buying gifts and returning pearls.
