Entertainment: My knife has made the whole world sad

"Don't panic, read slowly."

"I still don't understand it if you read slowly."

"It's about the monks and Taoists talking about the story of the Immortal Crimson Pearl Herb returning tears for the attendant of the God of Water. The monks and Taoists failed to save Zhen Shiyin's daughter Yinglian, and Zhen Shiyin met Jia Yucun."

"Oh my god, so cool..."

...

The text of "Dream of Red Mansions" reflects extremely profound literary skills from the first paragraph.

But because of this, the reading threshold of the whole book is quite high. In addition to those readers who have literary skills, even many loyal readers of Lao Ze have to rub their temples after reading the first and second chapters.

In fact, this phenomenon has long been a much-discussed issue in the past life. Why is it difficult to read the famous "Dream of Red Mansions"?

First of all, there are many characters and almost no main story, which greatly reduces the reader's interest in reading. Secondly, objectively speaking, the book "Dream of Red Mansions" does have few fascinating plots and stories, which gives people a feeling of being flat.

The characteristic of "detailed writing" is not something that everyone can appreciate. The more detailed you are, the more likely this part of readers will think you are verbose.

The story of "Dream of Red Mansions" also enters the main topic under such words.

Readers' reading is also proceeding slowly in such an atmosphere.

Even many readers, after reading a few times, really can't read it anymore, and even doubt themselves:

"Is my cultural attainment not enough? Why is it so... boring..."

"It's not boring, but I feel a little sleepy when reading it."

"Why is it so difficult to read?"

"The old thief has completely abandoned the entertainment in "Dream of Red Mansions". I am very curious about how those literary masters will evaluate this book."

...

The story of "Dream of Red Mansions" mainly tells about the people, events, and things that happened in a feudal family.

The emotional entanglement between Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, and Xue Baochai is the main line, and through the description of some daily events, it reflects the love, hatred, and sorrow of the women in the Grand View Garden of Jia's mansion, with the Twelve Beauties of Jinling as the main body.

At the same time, it also writes about the subplot of the Jia Mansion's decline from wealth and splendor.

The story begins with Lin Daiyu entering the capital and the Jia Mansion.

In the Jia Mansion, the emotional entanglement between Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, and Xue Baochai officially begins.

Unlike ordinary readers, Zhu Xiahua reads very seriously and is also very absorbed.

"A Dream of Red Mansions" is so wonderful that every sentence is worth savoring!

Especially the lines in this book are really exquisite to the extreme, and the writing style of this book is completely different from previous books. There is no main line, as if it is all daily life in the Jia Mansion and some related stories, but even so, under the words of the old thief, it is still vivid.

So this is a novel that has no way to introduce the plot to others, because this novel itself does not have a clear main line.

If someone asks you what "Journey to the West" tells, you can answer that it tells the story of Sun Wukong, Tang Monk and his four disciples going to the West to obtain scriptures.

What is the story of "Water Margin"? The answer is that a group of heroes were forced to go to Liangshan for various reasons in the late Northern Song Dynasty, and finally gathered into 108 heroes to form a peasant uprising army, and finally were recruited by the court and the uprising failed.

But if you ask what story "Dream of Red Mansions" tells...

It is difficult for anyone to tell it clearly.

But even so, some plots in the novel still make readers shine, such as Baoyu breaking jade, Daiyu burying flowers, Liu Lao Lao entering the Grand View Garden, and Wang Xifeng's appearance.

For example, Liu Lao Lao entering the Grand View Garden, this plot, even if many readers in the previous life did not read the original work, know this plot.

This is a plot full of comedy.

Liu Lao Lao is a poor woman from the distant relative of Jia Mu. She came to the Jia Mansion for help and accidentally became a member of the Jia Mansion. However, in this process, some embarrassing things that happened to Liu Lao Lao, who had no experience, when she entered a strange and novel world, still brought a lot of joy to the Jia Mansion.

There is also the classic story of Tanchun managing the household.

This is a plot that shows the wisdom and ability of women.

In this plot, Tanchun took over the housework during Wang Xifeng's illness, showing excellent management skills and reform spirit.

A series of measures not only improved family efficiency, but also won the respect and praise of family members.

The character creation of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling is a classic in the novel "Dream of Red Mansions".

The so-called Twelve Beauties of Jinling refers to the twelve female characters in "Dream of Red Mansions".

…

This "Dream of Red Mansions" can be said to have attracted less attention at the first time than the previous masterpieces.

Because in the first two days, almost no readers read it seriously, so that the comments on the Internet are even a little negative.

After all, the more people who can't read literature, the more likely they are to clamor on the Internet to show their special taste.

For example, "Am I the only one who thinks XXXXX?" Seeing such remarks, you will naturally have a subconscious aversion. The high reading threshold of "Dream of Red Mansions" is destined to make the first-time readers' comments untrue.

Among more silent voices, the shock brought by "Dream of Red Mansions" is getting bigger and bigger.

To know how classic "Dream of Red Mansions" is, just look at Zhu Xiahua.

As a Xiazhou literary giant who has passed his prime, Zhu Xiahua has always taken care of his body. In the past, no matter whether it was "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or "Water Margin", none of Lao Zei's books could let Zhu Xiahua stay up late to read.

But this time, "Dream of Red Mansions" was an exception.

This was the first time Zhu Xiahua stayed up late in many years!

And he didn't feel tired at all!

He was completely immersed in the story and words of the novel.

The words were so beautiful and real that it seemed that as soon as he closed his eyes, the world of Dream of Red Mansions would appear in front of him.

In Zhu Xiahua's mind, "Dream of Red Mansions" surpassed all of Lao Zei's previous works!

It is the real pinnacle of Xiazhou!

If all the works of the [Jiuzhou Classics] series are of this quality, then it can be said that the world of literature will have at least 9 more classics recorded in the history of Jiuzhou.

Unknowingly, the next day dawned.

Zhu Xiahua's son and daughter-in-law did not dare to persuade him, but just brought breakfast. Zhu Xiahua happened to read the later part of the novel.

Chapter 98 - The soul of bitter Jiangzhu returned to the heaven of separation and hatred, and the sick Shenying shed tears in the land of lovesickness.

This is an extremely important chapter in the novel.

In the first month of Lin Daiyu's seventeenth year, because Wang Ziteng was poisoned to death more than 200 miles away from BJ, the Jia family lost its last backer.

In addition, Baoyu was crazy, and Jia Zheng was appointed as the grain road of Jiangxi and was about to take office. The Jia family had to quickly prepare for Jia Baoyu's marriage.

But Jia Baoyu's wife was not Lin Daiyu, but on the second day of February, Jia Mu discussed with Jia Baoyu to marry Xue Baochai in order to bring happiness to Jia Baoyu.

Wang Xifeng gave Jia Mu an idea and deceived Jia Baoyu, but she never expected that on the fourth day of the first lunar month, Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai's marriage was known to Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu found Jia Baoyu, and after the last meditation, Lin Daiyu's condition worsened.

On the night when Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai got married, Lin Daiyu died of tears!

[Just as she was wiping, she suddenly heard Daiyu shouting: "Baoyu, Baoyu! Hello." When she said the word "hello", she was covered in cold sweat and fell silent. ]

[……]

[A wisp of fragrant soul was scattered with the wind, and the melancholy entered the dream at three o'clock in the morning! ]

……

As many fans of the old thief's book, they were not surprised at all about the old thief's knife.

But even so, every time they saw the knife in the old thief's book, they still couldn't stop their heartache!

Lin Daiyu is even more so!

As a character who can be called the heroine of this book, Lin Daiyu has a complex personality, both self-esteem and inferiority, both sensitive and frank, both sharp and generous, both arrogant and humble, both fragile and strong.

In the chapter where Lin Daiyu died, Zhu Xiahua trembled all over.

Zhu Xiahua has always understood the "tragedy" written by Lao Zei, but not so deeply. Sometimes he even wondered if the death of some characters was too deliberate.

But in Lin Daiyu, there was no such feeling at all, but Zhu Xiahua had some understanding.

From the moment Lin Daiyu appeared on the stage, she had a tragic beauty.

In the plot of the whole novel, her life journey deeply touched the hearts of readers, and this emotion reached its peak when she died in the end.

Her rebellion, her challenge to feudal ethics, and her pure and profound love with Jia Baoyu all added more tragic colors to her tragic fate!

This is a tragic character with a tragic fate!

It is precisely because of this that this role is more meaningful. In Lin Daiyu, there are too many emotions and meanings, even making Zhu Xiahua today feel mixed emotions.

It can be said that throughout the ages, in many entertainment images that resist feudal society and pursue individual liberation, some eccentric and quirky characters have been designed, but there has never been a character like Lin Daiyu.

While pursuing individual freedom, she is also the most beautiful image that Xiazhou's literary creators, and even ordinary people, can place on women.

It can be said that when talking about the image of classical women in Xiazhou in the future, the text image of Lin Daiyu will subconsciously appear in everyone's mind.

In the end, the ending of "Red Mansion" is even more miserable!

Ning Mansion was raided, Jia She and Jia Zhen were tied up and taken away, and the two mansions were in chaos.

Lin Daiyu died of illness, and Jia Baoyu became a monk.

Wang Xifeng died of illness, wrapped in a straw mat.

Yingchun was tortured to death.

Shi Xiangyun's husband fell ill, Jia Mu died of old age, and Yuanyang committed suicide to sacrifice for her master.

He San led thieves to the Jia Mansion, and Miaoyu was robbed by the thieves and disappeared.

Aunt Zhao was possessed by an evil spirit and tortured to death. Xichun became a nun and practiced Buddhism. Zijuan accompanied her. Xiangling was made legitimate after Xue Pan was released from prison and gave birth to a son, but she eventually died of dystocia...

...

Everyone thought that "Dream of Red Mansions" would be sad.

But no one expected "Dream of Red Mansions" to be so sad!

It can be said that it is rare for characters to have a normal ending instead of a good one!

Some readers who read faster have a "myocardial infarction" and find it difficult to breathe the more they read.

[Speaking of bitterness, the more absurd it is. It all comes from the same dream, so don't laugh at the stupidity of the world! ]

This is the last sentence of "Dream of Red Mansions", and it is also a sentence that can extremely experience the reading experience of "Dream of Red Mansions".

When Zhu Xiahua finished reading the last chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions", a whole day and night had passed.

Although a strong sense of exhaustion surged through Zhu Xiahua's body, Zhu Xiahua still held up this work, which can be called the pinnacle of Xiazhou literature.

No other work is more worthy of this title than this novel.

The staying power of "Dream of Red Mansions" gradually spread around the world on almost the third day!

The beginning was naturally the praise and admiration of these literary giants from all over the world! !

On social media, Zhu Xiahua commented on "A Dream of Red Mansions" in one sentence: "The pinnacle of Xiazhou literature!"

Rams, a Texas literary giant, praised it even more on social media: "If you haven't read "A Dream of Red Mansions" five times, there is no need to comment!"

"I'm going to continue reading!"

The Mizhou literary world and the Xizhou literary world were all affected and shocked by this work!

This series of comments has caused self-doubt among countless readers who cannot understand "Dream of Red Mansions".

"What's going on? Is this novel really that amazing?"

"The pinnacle of Xiazhou literature? Is it so amazing? Why didn't I see it? Damn it, it seems my literary attainments are too low. I'll read it again."

"To be honest, maybe my level is really not good enough. When I read "Water Margin", "Three Kingdoms" and "Journey to the West", I read them with gusto. However, this is the fifth time I tried to read "Red Mansions" in three days, but I still read it. I can’t finish it, but I can really feel that this novel is awesome..."

"I've re-watched it, and I seem to see something interesting this time."

…

The comments from these readers are extremely true. It is even more untrue to say that thousands of readers shouted "A Dream of Red Mansions" as soon as they saw it for the first time. After all, if you have not read "A Dream of Red Mansions" five times, there is no need to comment. In the previous life, a great man also said this.

In previous lives, Mr. Lu Xun and Mr. Zhang Ailing both spoke highly of "Red Mansions". Mr. Zhang Ailing also used this sentence to describe it:

"Someone said that the "three major hates" are "the first is that the anchovies are prickly, and the second is that the begonias are fragrant". I can't remember the third one, maybe because I subconsciously thought it should be "the third hate is that the Dream of Red Mansions is not over yet."

One can imagine the quality and status of "Red Mansions".

In the previous life, the controversy over the last 40 chapters of "Red Mansions" has never stopped. There are not only plot and character factors, but also historical factors. In this world, there is less discussion. After all, everyone can It is certain that "Red Mansions" was written by an old thief.

It is very simple for Lin Qiu to evaluate this novel.

This is a unique "cultural novel" of our Chinese nation in ancient times.

It is one of the most representative works of Chinese national culture.
