Liu's Dream of Red Mansions

brief Introduction of the content

Liu said that he continued to write A Dream of Red Mansions because Cheng Weiyuan introduced A Dream of Red Mansions with movable type, which made the first eighty chapters of A Dream of Red Mansions originally written by Cao Xueqin spread to this day and played a very positive role. However, they left regrets about the changes in the first eighty drafts. Then forty times is against Cao Xueqin's original intention. Liu concluded that Cao Xueqin actually finished writing the whole Dream of Red Mansions, with a total of *** 108 chapters, but the next 28 chapters were lost. Now he has written Liu Xu's Dream of Red Mansions, which basically continues Cao Xueqin's original intention.

Continue the manuscript, kill the manuscript

Seven years of hard work

Liu, a famous writer, has injected new blood into the study of A Dream of Red Mansions, which only A Dream of Red Mansions can be involved in, and raised the banner for the growth of grassroots fans. Four years ago, Liu said that the last forty chapters of A Dream of Red Mansions were inconsistent with the original spirit, and that Cao Xueqin's Dream of Red Mansions was not 120, but 108, and he planned to write the last twenty-eight chapters. Last March, in his new book, he tried to list the last 28 chapters in his imagination and infer the main plot, but said that he had not written yet.

14 At 6: 35pm, the publisher "Phoenix Linkage" announced in Weibo: "After seven years of hard work, Liu continued to write the last 28 chapters of A Dream of Red Mansions based on various exploration achievements and rich imagination, and has recently finished the manuscript. Hong Kong, Taiwan and Chinese mainland will be published on the same day in mid-April. China's major literary journals were reprinted at the same time. " At the same time, Zhang Xiaobo, president of Phoenix Linkage, forwarded the news with the words "This is a very important news" and boosted the news. JUNG WOO, the company's publicity planner, said in an interview with our reporter yesterday that the last 28 chapters of A Dream of Red Mansions written by Liu have been completed and are preparing to be published, but the details are not convenient to disclose.

A book published in April

Since printing, there have been 1 10,000 copies.

Yesterday morning, Zhang Xiaobo said in the Weibo that he was under great pressure to sign a big contract this time. Since printing, it has reached 1 10,000 copies. He cheered for himself: "I will work hard!" " "Liu's market appeal is optimistic? However, it is emphasized that Liu's continued writing is not influenced by others, and he is definitely not a "pusher".

Zhang Xiaobo said that in the early 1990s, when Liu published the novella Death of Qin Keqing, he said, "This novel is basically written in modern style, which is significantly different from the so-called sequels and supplements. I thought I was going to imitate the Cao style; I don't have this ability and courage at present. " It can be seen that Liu has always had the desire to rebuild A Dream of Red Mansions. In the sequel, the main characters such as Baoyu and Daiyu will 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 constantly taken in by the servants, Xiangyun suddenly died. Baoyu woke up and returned to life, and Shen Ying was made a waiter.

The previous ideas were different.

On the evening of 15, the publisher Weibo revealed the contents of the first five chapters written by Liu: "Chapter 8 1: Zhongshan Wolf roars when it devours the unlucky female lion, and it's useless to enjoy it. The 82 nd time: Rui Tanchun Anmin dispelled rumors, and Da Baoyu sent Kirin at the wedding. Back to 83: Shi Taijun is unable to close his eyes because of aphasia, and Jin Yuanyang is better than death. The eighty-fourth time: Ni Temple Fair met a bosom friend, and the village was old and rainy. The 85th time: The glass screen is full of wine, while the bergamot buries wax and oil. In contrast, Liu's final version is somewhat different from his ideas a few years ago, which shows that he has adjusted his original ideas in his writing. After 80s, the reporter consulted the last part of the book The True Story of a Dream of Red Mansions. Among the 28 replies at that time, the title of the 82nd reply was "Rumor of Four Officials' Disorder, Fear of Closing the Garden", the 84th reply was "Peace Incident is not peaceful, tears are hard to shed" and the 85th reply was "Warm painting breaks the lotus pavilion".

Previously, Liu guessed that the last five chapters of Cao Xueqin's last 28 chapters were: Chapter 104, Jinling cried for Xifeng and Jiangnan ran for Baoyu. Back to 105, Miaoyu at Guazhou Ferry was presented and Hanwang at Jinshan Temple was killed. Back to 106, is the Mid-Autumn Festival poem boundless, and how long can the white-headed binary stars gather? Back to 107, winter is hungry, red and bitter, and a snowy night has a broken pillow. The first time 108, Shen Ying suddenly realized that he gave up the cliff and the stone returned to the foot of the mountain.

Return to your eyes after eighty times

The following are Liu's views on the post-80s generation in 2006: 81 times when Zhongshan wolfed down the unlucky female lion's roar, 95 times when the glass screen brewed bergamot buried wax and oil, 82 times when the Siguan University Park was in chaos, 96 times when the iron net in the Yellow Sea was broken, 83 times when Shi Taijun had no choice but to fall down and 97 times when it was broken. The old account became the first crime, and the new blame was copied. After eighty-four times of peace, it is difficult to shed tears when things are not peaceful. Ninety-eight times the moon sets and cries and frosts are all over the sky. Eighty-five times, the warm painting is broken and the lotus pavilion is broken. Leng Yue died of a string of crimson pearls. Ninety-nine times, Lianger stole the truth by mistake, and Xifeng swept the snow. I can't bear the first 86 times. Erbao is married, and it seems familiar. In the summer of pillow, Jia Yun, a poet in Changcui Temple, felt eighty-seven fights, flew away, played chess, killed each other and hurt the fish in the pool. Qiaojie was cheated. Granny Liu repaid her kindness like a spring of eighty-eight times. Xue Baochai satirized Wang Xifeng, a hero in know life, and made a token in Fu Fang Qiu. The witty remarks of the woman in red blocked Jin Rong's greed, high position, unconscionability, taking the overall situation into account, attacking people's reputation, abandoning the old coffin and releasing new grievances for 89 times. The 90 secret trips to Jiang Yuhan were anticlimactic, and Huaxi Ren did start and end 104 times, and went to Fengjie Jinling in tears and left in a hurry. Baoyu fainted ninety-one times in Jiangnan, and Baoyu went to Wutai Mountain in the morning to sing one hundred and five times at night. Guazhou Ferry Miaoyu devoted herself to Jinshan Temple and died in Zhen Baoyu in 92. She sent Jia Baoyu back to Zhen, retired silently and returned to the empty world. Can Mid-Autumn Poetry Set White Stars? Back to the Wei Shooting Garden, cherish the unicorn, wipe the sword, enjoy the plum vase, 107 times hunger, choking in the cold winter, worry, illness, pillow glow, snowy night, broken felt, 94 times constant, the legacy of becoming a butterfly, cold pillow glow, friends, lingering regret in Wangchuan, 108 times epiphany, leaving the cliff, returning to the mountain, the love list seems to be lost. Liu, a fateful figure in the Red Chamber, died of illness on the day Baochai got married. Xue Baochai was sick and unhappy in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and finally she stayed alone in the empty boudoir. She regretted that Wang Xifeng was unwilling to be humiliated for life and died of poverty and illness. She was buried in a straw mat and in a cantilever beam in spring. She was abused to death by her husband. Later, when she and her husband returned to Beijing, Jia was frightened, suffered a stroke and died of old age, weakness and illness. Yuanyang was forced to get married, committed suicide and died, while Grandmother Jia hanged herself. In the coup in Yuan Chun, Li Wan was made a widow and died with joy. In her later years, the mother took her son Gui Miaoyu and the loyal king away by robbers. I don't know what happened. Shi Xiangyun married Baoyu, but the poor couple died young. Qiaojie, determined to be widowed, was sold into a brothel and later married Banel to betray Wang Pan. Grandma Liu designed to rescue the hitter and was occupied by Wang Zhongshun and his son. Later, she married Mrs. Jiang Yuhan, who decided to marry Jiang Yuhan Chase. She set herself on fire and ran into a wall and died. On April 2, 2005, CCTV's Lecture Room broadcasted a large-scale series program "Liu Demystifying a Dream of Red Mansions", and invited Liu to give a lecture.

The program has successively launched Qin Keqing series, Jia Yuanchun series, Miaoyu series, Lin Daiyu series, Xue Baochai series, Jia Baoyu series, Shi Xiangyun series, The True Story of the 1980s and so on. Until March 27th, 20 10, broadcast 6 1 period. During this period, four books of the same name and The True Story of a Dream of Red Mansions were published one after another.

Cao Xueqin wrote a dream of red mansions, *** 108 times, but he got lost after 80 times. What you are looking at now is the last 40 chapters of 120 passbook, which were jointly preserved by Cheng Weiyuan, the owner of Cui Wen Bookstore, and Gao E, a scholar, in 179 1, nearly 30 years after the death of Cao Xueqin. Cheng Gaoben's movable type was widely circulated after printing, which contributed to the popularity of Cao Xueqin in the first eighty chapters. However, the last 40 chapters deviate from Cao Xueqin's original intention, and many readers have been dissatisfied. After the circulation of 120, it continued to overlap, but most of them started from 120, which was further from Cao Xueqin's original intention. Contemporary writers began to write in the 1980s, each with its own characteristics, but most of them are free to play.

Liu has studied A Dream of Red Mansions for more than 20 years. Through prototype research and close reading of the text, he found the lost content of Cao Xueqin's last 28 chapters. On the basis of finding out, he tried to restore the general appearance of Cao Xueqin's last twenty-eight chapters, and completed Liu's novel A Dream of Red Mansions in seven years. Liu Xu tried to enter the context of Cao Xueqin's text, taking care of all the big, small, bright and dark foreshadowing of the "grass snake gray line, stretching thousands of miles" in the first eighty chapters, and also fulfilled the plots, details, text terms and answers of the last twenty-eight chapters revealed and teased in all the comments on red inkstone and different water in the ancient manuscripts.

This book has been questioned since its publication, and it is common sense that anyone who continues to write classic works will be questioned. Undeniably, Liu's Dream of Red Mansions gives readers another perspective to look at it.

Liu continued the fate of the main characters in A Dream of Red Mansions.

Jia Baoyu

After marrying Baochai, she became a monk because she didn't want to be an official. After Zhen Baoyu's secularization suggestion and Jia's thorough prison raid, he realized that he had pulled back from the brink and regained his status as a waiter.

Lin Daiyu:

Daiyu's crimson beads and fairy grass are still a long-cherished wish, and her tears are exhausted. She fled to Narcissus and died in the lake.

Xue Baochai:

After marrying Baoyu, she tried every means to guide her husband to take the road of career and economy. Instead, she drove Baoyu away, and Baochai was exhausted and died of illness.

Wang Xifeng:

Jia Lian demoted him as a concubine, and Jia Fu became a prisoner after copying him. On the way back to Jinling, he was humiliated and threw himself into the river.

Shi Xiangyun:

Marry Mr. Right, Wei, but not for long. Her husband was killed in the last tiger fight. Before he died, he entrusted Shi Xiangyun to Baoyu, making him a golden unicorn. Later Xiangyun and Baoyu joined hands in the world of mortals. ...

Miaoyu:

Zhongshun Wang traced Jia Bao-yu, Miaoyu sheltered Jia Bao-yu, and died together with Zhongshun Wang. root

When Liu was in elementary school, he found that the pillow on the bed where his father slept was particularly high, so he opened the pillow and found a book "Dream of Red Mansions" in it. There was no paper-bound version, but the printing age was very old, and there were still some in it. Liu found it very interesting. Liu's parents thought he was young and did not encourage him to read, but they did not condemn him. Liu's earliest reading of A Dream of Red Mansions should be in primary school, when he should be twelve years old.

In youth, it should be said that it was in the late Cultural Revolution. It was reassuring to watch A Dream of Red Mansions at that time, because Chairman Mao made some comments on it, and it was reassuring to comment later, and the Dream of Red Mansions was reprinted, so I watched A Dream of Red Mansions at this time. But Liu has his own experience, and that is vicissitudes. However, I feel that Liu seems to have experienced many things, human feelings and human feelings, and began to ponder these things, but I feel that Liu began to ponder the taste at that time.

Mr. Zhou, a master of redology, wrote a letter praising him for his "good observation and understanding" after he published some popular words in the 1990s, which was greatly encouraged. Later, he and Zhou Lao began to develop booming communication. In 2003, their communication won the Wen Wei Po (Changjiang Cup) Excellent Works Award.

Up to now, Liu still has a sense of awe and dare not say that he has read A Dream of Red Mansions. Liu thinks the more it is, the better, because if everyone thinks they can fully understand it, it will be correct. Liu is telling you what is right when he talks about A Dream of Red Mansions, so Liu won't read it again. Why does he feel that he is still reading? Now Liu still has to study, and it is still full of freshness. I think there may be new gains. Mr. Liu believes that A Dream of Red Mansions is a work with autobiographical and family history characteristics, and many characters in it have prototypes in their lives. On the other hand, Qin Keqing is the master key to interpret A Dream of Red Mansions. Only by deciphering Qin Keqing's life prototype can we understand Cao Xueqin's real creative intention. In his view, Qin Keqing's real life experience is the daughter of abandoned prince Yin Yong who hid in Cao Fu during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, that is, a distinguished princess figure. All doubts about her are closely related to her true identity.

There has been a lot of applause and abuse since the lecture room broadcast Liu's program about A Dream of Red Mansions. Of all the voices, Feng Qiyong and Li Xifan, the redologists, made him most angry. "Some people say that I have disturbed the direction of social culture and feel that I am labeling me." . But Liu said that he was a person with a special personality and would not get angry. "The criticism of these redology experts really interfered with my study of redology, but it was also an incentive for me, and I even got a motivation from it. In these doubts and sharp criticisms, I benefited a lot and got an inspiration. "
