Did Lin Daiyu commit suicide in the Red Chamber?

A Dream of Red Mansions (Hu School) occupied the Dream of Red Mansions Society and its publications, and Liu was a great writer, seizing literary publications such as Dangdai and competing with the Dream of Red Mansions Society! Today's redology is really the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period! Hu faction is full of loopholes. Is Liu Qinxue correct? Don't! Pot calling the kettle black! Liu Qinxue is not an academic study of the Red Mansion, but a deduction of the story of the Red Mansion, just as warrants are variants of stocks, while Liu Qinxue is not a call warrant that can be invested, but a put warrant that will be worthless. However, the joint hype of TV and publications has attracted a lot of attention, leaving many people ignorant of the true face of Lushan Mountain! As Mr. Lu Xun said: I still understand if you don't say it, the more you say it, the more confused I am!

Liu set up a regular column A Dream of Red Mansions in Dangdai, which has been published for more than ten consecutive issues. The fourth issue of the latest Dangdai magazine has just come out and got it. Looking through the catalogue, the most eye-catching thing is Liu's latest article, Lin Daiyu's Lost in the Lake. Reading the whole article in one go, it turns out that Liu boldly put forward a new argument: Lin Daiyu committed suicide by jumping into the lake. Of course, it is probably not comprehensive to understand Liu Jiaoshou's point of view in this way, because Liu has repeatedly stressed that it is not jumping into the lake but sinking into it, not committing suicide. He didn't say I understood. He said I was confused. Maybe the foundation of a dream of red mansions is too poor. To understand, I have always felt that the difference between jumping into a lake and sinking into it is not very big. In order to make everyone understand, I still used the saying that Lin Daiyu committed suicide by jumping into the lake.

Liu will talk about a dream of red mansions in lecture room in the second half of this year. The latest published article is the arrangement of the written manuscript of the lecture. This article is the first issue of the lecture. First of all, we should arrest people and put forward a new theory of Lin Daiyu's death, especially the new theory of suicide by jumping into the lake. It is absolutely shocking and will certainly continue to ferment, causing widespread social controversy. Let's see how Liu Jiaoshou came up with a brilliant idea to prove that Lin Daiyu committed suicide by jumping into the lake.

Liu Xian said that Lin Daiyu was a practitioner of performance art, and that burial of flowers was a typical performance art. What fashionable vocabulary of performance art was used to describe Daiyu's burial of flowers? It turned out to be a foreshadowing. In order to say that Daiyu is very poetic and romantic, all her behavior endings are romantic and poetic, including death.

Liu thought that Lin Daiyu got dressed and sank into the lake by herself. Liu Dui said, "I strongly disagree with this statement. Because it shows that you are insensitive to the great difference between jumping into a lake and sinking into it. Jumping into the lake is a parabola from a height down, with a bang. Of course, this is a happy death, but it is poetic. Sinking into the lake, of course, after dressing up, slowly walking from the shallow part of the water to the deep part, which is very different! " Seeing this, I really admire Liu's wit and rich imagination. After all, when he writes novels, he always designs plots that everyone can't imagine. I don't know how you feel when you see the above words, but the more you listen, the more humorous you feel.

The first person in the new school thinks that the disease lies in Liu's arbitrary speculation and willfulness about the last forty chapters, which not only makes Hu Shi's school angry from embarrassment, but also makes all the red scholars in the opposition laugh! In fact, there is no essential difference between Zhou Tiaohu's theory and Liu Shenhu's theory, both of which hurt the text of the Red Chamber, because both of them are self-righteous subjective assumptions, but they just don't agree to renew the book! But Lu Xun, Lin Yutang, Qian Zhongshu and others all think the last forty chapters are very good!

In fact, from an academic point of view, there are three kinds of innuendos about the death of Daiyu. One is to insinuate the protagonist, to insinuate that Shi Kefa jumped into the river after defeat and Chen Zilong jumped into the pond after being captured; Second, alluding to the death of the emperor shunzhi Dong Fei; And the third is to insinuate that Dong Xiaowan, one of the eight beauties of Qinhuai, got on the boat and returned to Jiangnan in spite of illness, and these three innuendos are all related to one person, that is the emperor shunzhi, the incarnation of Baoyu!

How many talented people and beautiful women have been won by the phrase "crossing the crane shadow in the cold pond and burying the flower soul in Leng Yue", but we can't see from Dai Yu's burial that she is singing an elegy for the Zhu Ming dynasty, but to understand a personal art of life and death, it is really playing broadsword in front of the author of the red chamber of Chinese studies, and there is absolutely no such pettiness!

To say the least, emotionally speaking, a marriage that naturally loves Daiyu is hopeless. What's the difference between jumping into a lake and sinking it? In the final analysis, the aesthetic interpretation of bar white-collar workers is not a life-and-death choice. Great men and celebrities are no different from ordinary people. I heard that a mayor was tried for incontinence on the spot. Where is his usual looks?

Regarding the death of Daiyu, the sequel to A Dream of Red Mansions is extremely wonderful: "When Xue Baochai got married, it became a big gift, and the soul of the bitter pearl stayed and hated the sky." What a strong contrast art, flashbacks used in the sequel, people feel that everyone is concerned about the blooming fireworks, and no one is concerned about the pain of leaving people!

Ke Qingzhi's death is a disease, alluding to the hanging of Emperor Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty, the deaths of Dong E Fei and Dai Yu.

Art originates from life, but it is not a simple copy of life. In this respect, Liu knows better than a red scientist who doesn't understand novel creation, but Liu's ignorance of history is the root of his illness!

The second part of A Dream of Red Mansions revealed by Liu is actually about Daiyu's suicide. Lin Daiyu died in Zilingzhou Lake in Daguan Garden. She committed suicide instead of "dying of disease" as described in Gao E's sequel. In the last 28 sketches of Liu Xu's Dream of Red Mansions, Baoyu, Daiyu and other main characters will all have new "homes". Liu thought that A Dream of Red Mansions ended in a great tragedy: in the struggle for power and position by the Party, she was defeated by Jia Wang and Zhen Shi, and Xifeng was humiliated and threw herself into the river. Yuan Chun was framed and killed. After the death of Jia Mu, Daiyu became less and less dependent and stepped into the lake on a full moon night. After Daiyu's death, Baoyu married Baochai, who died of internal and external troubles. Wei entrusted Xiangyun to Baoyu before he died. Baoyu and Xiangyun begged all the way. Although they were taken in by the servants the day before yesterday, Xiangyun suddenly died. Baoyu woke up, returned to life, and made Shen Ying a waiter. Does this design conform to Cao Xueqin's original intention?

Liu cited a lot of evidence and found the so-called water-related clues from a few words, but he always felt that the evidence was far-fetched and the arguments were insufficient. Hao Ge thinks that the birth and death of Daiyu is a logical development. The first 80 times are all sick, and the body is weak, and it is reasonable to get worse later. Have we neglected this common sense? Lin Daiyu committed suicide by jumping into the lake, which is a fierce female behavior, but it is also different from her temperament and personality. Because Daiyu's personality is sentimental, her irritable personality and bold suicide are not her practices, so we should also take care of the logic of Daiyu's personality development and the logic of getting sick in the first 80 times.

Some experts pointed out that A Dream of Red Mansions, as one of the four classical novels, has great influence at home and abroad. It has been stereotyped in the reader's mind. There are quite a few sequels to it. There were nearly 100 sequels to A Dream of Red Mansions in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. The number of sequels varied and the contents varied. But it is Gao E's 40-page sequel that is widely circulated and deeply rooted in people's hearts. It is generally believed that Cao Xueqin died after only 80 chapters in A Dream of Red Mansions, and Gao E's sequel made this classic more complete. Gao E's sequel has spread since Qing Qianlong, which has a great influence. Among them, such plots as "Daiyu burning manuscript" and "Baoyu crying" are also relatively successful. It should be said that Gao E's sequel has also been recognized by scholars and readers.

Hao Ge believes that Liu's New Dream of Red Mansions needs to take care of the common sense, tradition and logical development of the work itself in order to gain long-term vitality. If it is too far away from common sense, tradition and logic, it is a fictional alternative dream of red mansions, and everyone laughs it off.
