Who is the author of A Dream of Red Mansions?

Chen Lin, a young scholar, thinks that the plot of the novel hides a real time sequence, which is the key to fully solve the mystery of A Dream of Red Mansions.

Editor's Note of Beijing News Nowadays, the mainstream view in the red circle holds that the first 80 chapters of A Dream of Red Mansions were written by Cao Xueqin, and the last 40 chapters were written by Gao E or another unknown person. However, Chen Lin, a young scholar, made a conclusion different from the mainstream view in his 6.5438+0.4 million-word dream of red mansions thesis "Deciphering the mystery of the time of a dream of red mansions", which caused fierce controversy on the Internet forum of a dream of red mansions.

We are here to introduce this paper, not to fully agree with its views, but to pay attention to its unique way of argumentation and meticulous argumentation. As for the feasibility, appropriateness and effectiveness of its argument, I look forward to the debate and discussion of experts and scholars.

It is mentioned in the article that on June 8, 2006, Cao Fu, the real author of 120 novel, celebrated his 300th birthday. On June 6th this year, Cao Xueqin, the son of Cao Fu who participated in the creation, arrangement and dissemination of poems in the novel, celebrated his 280th birthday. In view of this, we report this article exclusively with a serious and responsible attitude towards academic issues and expectations for a rational, objective and fair academic discussion atmosphere.

The picture shows the most famous portrait of Cao Xueqin.

The idea that Cao Xueqin is the author of A Dream of Red Mansions has a long history and is deeply rooted. The picture shows the most famous portrait of Cao Xueqin, painted by Zhang Daqian's confidante Li Qiujun.

At the beginning of this year, Chen Lin, a young scholar, proposed in his long article "Decoding the Mystery of the Time in the Red Chamber" that 120 novels are an organic whole, and its real author is Cao Fu, the father of Cao Xueqin, who is also a famous critic "Zhi Yanzhai" in the early manuscripts of the novel; Cao Xueqin is only the creator of some poems in the novel. The paper also demonstrates that 120 novels are narrated year by year according to the real time sequence from 1706 to 1724.

According to the plot of the novel, the real era is "restored"

According to this paper, the author of the novel hides and implies a "true chronological order" in his works. This paper holds that all kinds of evidences show that 120' s novels are narrated year by year according to the real time sequence from 1706 to 1724. The main arguments are the astronomical phenomena in the calendar, the eight-character numerology, the dead burial of the old lady (the imperial concubine) and the great breach of the Yellow River in Henan.

Chen Lin pointed out that no matter who readers think the authors of the last 40 novels are, according to the time clues provided by the novel text itself, readers can always sort out a chronological sequence (chronology) of 120 novels; All kinds of evidence fully show that some plots of the novel really hide a true age. According to the time clues provided by the novel text itself, a chronology of 120 years with real age can be obtained. Whether this chronology is established or not can be verified by Chen Lin.

The textual research methods put forward in this paper are as follows: (1) Because all the plots are marked with real age, the calendar astronomical phenomena, royal funerals and major natural disasters clearly written in the novel are also marked with real age; It can be found whether there are novel descriptions in those years in history by using the calendar astronomical data of the Qing Dynasty and the documents of faith and history.

After checking the evidence, the paper points out that the above plots written in the novel really correspond to or are extremely similar to historical facts. Therefore, the paper thinks that the real time sequence of this "reduction" can be established, that is to say, the authors of the first 80 chapters and the last 40 chapters really weave story lines year after year according to this real time sequence.

Jia Baoyu's date of birth revealed the identity of the author.

Chen Lin believes that since this real time sequence runs from the first time to120th time, the authors of the last 40 times clearly know what real time sequence is hidden in the first 80 times. He concluded that the author of the last 40 chapters is the author of the first 80 chapters, and 120 chapter is an organic whole.

According to the chronological order of "reduction", the date of birth of Jia Baoyu in this paper should be1June 8, 706 (April 28 of the lunar calendar, "the birthday of the medicine king"). The paper further points out that since the novel has indicated "Author = Stone = Jia Baoyu", then Jia Baoyu's real date of birth is the author's own birthday. This paper compares Cao Xueqin's family background with today's, looking for Jia Baoyu's "literary prototype", and holds that the only correct counterpart is Cao Yin's adopted son Cao Fu, who inherited the weaving of his father and brother Jiangning, while the prototype figure of Yuan Chun is his eldest daughter Cao Jia.

On the basis of confirming that "120 novel is an autobiographical work compiled by Cao Fu", this paper carefully sorts out the "fat criticism" in the early manuscripts of the novel, and thinks that "red inkstone" is Cao Fu, and the date of writing his last words is "Wu Jia People's Day" (1February 774 17, the seventh day of the first lunar month. This paper holds that Cao Xueqin is the author of Cang Jing Book Review, which lied that the manuscript of the novel was lost and the plot of the existing 120 novel did not exist at all, so it must be a fraud.

Cao Xueqin is "the posthumous son of Jia Baoyu"

The last two chapters of the paper focus on Cao Xueqin's identity, birth and death years and his contribution to A Dream of Red Mansions. Cao Xueqin is either the son of Cao Qing or the son of Cao Fu. The article holds that the novel character corresponding to Cao Qing's son is Jia Lan, but Cao Xueqin's poetic talent and arrogance are incomparable to Jia Lan, so Cao Xueqin is the son of Cao Fu, and the corresponding novel character is Jia Baoyu's posthumous title Jia Gui.

According to the real time sequence hidden in the novel, Jia Gui, the posthumous son of Jia Baoyu, should be born in 1725. According to the time clues provided by the novel text, combined with the method of calculating the expected date of delivery and the traditional method of calculating the "fetal element", it is inferred that Xue Baochai was pregnant at the beginning of August of the lunar calendar on 1724, and gave birth to Jia Gui on June 6th of 1725 (April 26th of the lunar calendar). The paper points out that the novel "crossing the awn seed at the end of April 26th" written in the 27th chapter implies that Jia Baoyu (Cao Fu) was born in 1706 (crossing the awn seed on April 26th of that year), and the exact birth time of Jia Gui (Cao Xueqin) can be calculated.

The paper holds that both novels and criticisms show that Cao Xueqin created some poems in his works, and historical data also show that Cao Xueqin "remembered Cao Zhi after poetry", so there is "no reason to think" that he will not create more poems in his novels. We can't see the manuscripts and engravings of Cao Xueqin's poems collected separately now, but his poems have been written into novels.

The article affirms the old saying that Cao Xueqin died on "New Year's Eve at noon" (1763 February 12), but at the same time points out that strictly speaking, Cao Xueqin died not in the year of noon, but in the year of decadence, because beginning of spring (1763 February 4) was in the year of noon and beginning of spring was. In this way, Cao Xueqin was only 38 years old when he died, but according to his imagined age, it happened to be "40 years old".

Unique eyebrow approval

The unique criticism of A Dream of Red Mansions: "The fact is also described as a frame, twists and turns, ups and downs, reflections, hidden views, positive and leap, so that the grass snake gray line, empty valley, the sound of two strikes, plank road, dark crossing, Yunlong fog and rain, confrontation between two mountains, clouds and the moon. I also searched the anatomy one by one, understood the notes, waited for wisdom, and then gave instructions. " Chen Lin thinks this is the metaphorical comment of the author Cao Fu on the way of concealing the real dynasty in his works.

■ argument

Yuan Chun died on 1723.

The first three chapters of the paper deeply discuss the real age implied by Yuan Chun's death. Chen Lin believes that according to the time clues and plot logic provided by the latter 40 chapters, the author of the latter 40 chapters made "obvious common sense mistakes". He believes that according to the correct numerical calculation and the established "fortune-telling rules" in Classic Life Book and Sanshenghui, Yuan Chun only lived 3 1 year, not 43 years as written in the 95th cycle; The correct time of Yuan Chun's birth is by no means "when Xinsi Shen Jia was in March" written in the eighty-sixth chapter, but "when Renzi was born in the first month of Xinhai". The correct time of Yuan Chun's death is not "December 18th, Jiayin Year, 19th after beginning of spring" written in Chapter 95, but "the end of a year or the beginning of a year after beginning of spring". The article points out that the author of the last forty chapters clearly described the fifth sentence of "Tiger meets rabbit and dreams come back" as the characteristic time, and hinted at the real date of birth and death of Yuan Chun with the above-mentioned "obvious flaws deliberately revealed".

Based on the textual research of the calendar data from Kangxi's last southern tour 1707 to the publication of 179 1 published by Chengjia, and combined with the historical data of Cao Shi family, this paper points out that the real year of death implied in the last forty chapters is beginning of spring on December 29th (1February 4th, 723) of Renyin Year. According to the date of death, Yuan Chun's real birth time is "Renshen Renyin Year, the date of Renzi, the time of Xinhai" (February 65438+ 18, 0692). The numerology feature of this eight-character can best meet the fortune-telling content written in the eighty-sixth chapter. Renzi's day is not "the first day of New Year's Eve" but "the second day of the first month".

Yuan Chun was born on the second day of the first month.

The article points out that the 53rd episode of the novel only implies that Yuan Chun's real date of birth is "the second day of the first month", not "the first day of New Year's Day". On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, the Rong Ning municipal government made preparations for the Chinese New Year: the next day, Jia Mu and others went to the palace to "pay their respects" and then went to the ancestral temple to worship their ancestors after returning; On the third day, Jia Mu and others entered the palace to "congratulate" and "wish Yuan Chun a thousand years". The article points out that from the strict court etiquette system of past dynasties, there is no "New Year's Eve greeting", which is the first "greeting".

It must have happened on the "New Year's Day" (the first day of the first month), that is, the highest etiquette ceremony of the feudal dynasty "Happy New Year". This paper cites the provisions of the Code of the Qing Empire and the Code of the Qing Empire in detail, and explains the legal basis of the two occasions of "congratulating the emperor", that is, from the eighth year of Kangxi, the Qing Dynasty stipulated that the emperor should be congratulated on New Year's Day, and the empress dowager and the empress dowager should be congratulated on the second day of the first month.

Chen Lin believes that this proves that Yuan Chun's real birthday is indeed "the second day of the first month". At the same time, it is proved that the last 40 chapters really hide and imply a real historical age 1723, and that the author of the last 40 chapters is the author of the first 80 chapters, and the chapter 120 is a whole.

17 19 Jia Baoyu 13 years old

Chen Lin also pointed out that in the first 80 rounds, four calendar characteristics of Jia Baoyu 13 years old were clearly written: "Planting awn seeds at the end of April 26th", the summer solstice is the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, and the light snow festival is held in the middle of1October, and there are only 29 days in1February (the day after the 29th of the twelfth lunar month is the birthday of New Year's Day. He believes that it can be judged that the year must be 17 19, but the actual situation of this year's calendar is that the summer solstice and the Dragon Boat Festival are on the same day, and there is light snow on 10/2, and 12 has only 29 days. He pointed out that "April 26th (13: 00-15: 00) was over", which just implied that Jia Baoyu's real birth year was 1706. According to the current calculation method of solar terms, April 26th this year is 15: 29 or 15: 43 (application time).

Chen Lin believes that if the real ages of these two suggestions are taken as "fixed time coordinates", a chronology from 1706 to 1724 120 can be "restored". Based on 1723, this paper proves that this chronological sequence can be established with historical documents.
