One hates anchovies and spines.

Anchovy, saury and puffer fish are listed as the "Three Fresh Foods of the Yangtze River".

According to the record of "Zhizhi Provincial Chronicles: Dantu County": "Anchoto sea fish, out of the Yangtze River in the spring of the season, swim to Hanyang, give birth to a fish, and return to the sea." ”

In spring, large schools of anchovies enter the freshwater area from the mouth of the Yangtze River and travel westward along the main road of the Yangtze River, while the tributaries of the Yangtze-Huai region also attract many anchovies.

The anchovy is delicious. It is said that people who can eat, even the scales are reluctant to scrape off, when eating, eat the scales first, take one or two pieces in the mouth and slowly suck the aftertaste, and then eat the meat, the fish is fat but not greasy, put it in the mouth and chew it slowly, the taste is long, and finally eat the bones. Even the bones are delicious.

However, due to heavy fishing and industrial pollution, the shad in the Yangtze River has been largely extinct.

In the main anchovy producing area of the Yangtze River basin in Anhui Province, a fisherman surnamed Zhang accidentally caught a two-pound small anchovy in 1994, which was the last record.

......

Second, hate begonias without fragrance.

Begonia flower is a very beautiful flower, a unique flower species in China.

Su Shi once had a poem: a pear tree pressed begonia. The old man is a pear blossom, and the girl is a begonia.

There is such a song in the Peking Opera "Dragon and Phoenix": "Good people, bad people, should not obliquely insert this begonia flower." The twist and pinch is very handsome, and the romance is in this begonia flower."

It can be seen that begonias are always romantic.

It is a pity that such a beautiful and romantic flower, but without a fragrance, cannot but be said to be a pity.

......

The Dream of Red Mansions is not over.

Zhang Ailing once said: "When I was a child, after watching Dream of Red Mansions eighty times, all the characters were tasteless in language and hateful, and I only complained, 'Why didn't it look good later?'"

————

Later, she learned that it was a continuation after eighty times, not Cao's original work, and it was no wonder that "the sky and the earth were discolored, and the sun and the moon were lightless".

Not being able to see the last forty episodes of "Dream of Red Mansions" is the regret of Zhang Ailing's life.

So much so that when she came to the United States in her later years, she had to devote her energy to ten years of studying "Dream of Red Mansions", and she came up with a book of "Nightmare of Red Mansions". The book contains a total of seven research articles, including The Unfinished Dream of the Red Chamber, The Episode of The Dream of the Red Chamber, The Dream of the Red Chamber, The Second Detail, The Dream of the Red Chamber, The Dream of the Red Chamber, The Fourth Detail, and The Dream of the Red Chamber.

This shows how deep Zhang Ailing's regret about the unfinished "Dream of Red Mansions" is.

......

Why is "Dream of Red Mansions" missing the last forty episodes?

There is a theory that:

The author, Cao Xueqin, is a descendant of Cao Yin. Cao Yin was Kangxi's childhood friend, who managed the Jiangning Weaving Mansion in the Kangxi Dynasty and had a prominent family background. But Yongzhengshi was raided and defeated. When I wrote "Dream of Red Mansions", I also wrote about the raid of Jiafu in the last 40 chapters, and this is still a good idea? Isn't this a reflection of reality? So I didn't dare to spread it, so I cut it down.

......

The influence of Dream of Red Mansions has swept the entire Chinese literary circle.

So much so that there is a special term: "Red Studies", that is, the study of "Dream of Red Mansions".

A book gives birth to a school, a school, and a specialized field of study. It can be seen that its impact is deep and widespread.

Qing Dynasty scholars used traditional methods such as inscriptions, commentaries, and suo yin to study The Dream of the Red Chamber, which is known as Old Red Studies.

Before and after the May Fourth Movement, Wang Guowei, Hu Shi, Yu Pingbo and others introduced the modern academic paradigm of the West to study "Dream of the Red Chamber".

It is a very serious and serious science, and it can be elegant.

......

The impact of Dream of the Red Chamber is not limited to China.

It has been named the 100 greatest films in human history many times.

Dream of the Red Chamber has many meanings for Chinese literature, the most important of which may be the "female perspective".

Since "Dream of Red Mansions", Chinese classics have truly possessed non-faceless and non-appendage female characters. Cao Xueqin writes about these beautiful women in a respectful and equal way, arranging "The Twelve Hairpins of Jinling" and so on.

Daiyu, Baochai, Sister Feng, Xiangling, Raider, Qingwen......

The female characters are so vivid that the male characters are eclipsed in front of them.

This is what was done in the past - whether it is "Water Margin", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Journey to the West", "Three Words and Two Beats", and "Golden Vase Plum", they have not done it.

......

Han Zhou carefully flipped through the notes left by Chen Junqiu.

I want to see what the last forty episodes of "Dream of Red Mansions" are about.

When he was a child, he also watched the last forty times of Gao E's version, and finally Baoyu woke up and passed the Jinshi examination, gave birth to a child with Baochai to inherit the lineage, and then became a monk. It's quite mysterious. It has also been criticized by many people.

What did Cao Xueqin's original version of "Dream of Red Mansions" talk about in the last forty episodes?

Many people have been curious for hundreds of years.

In the fat batch, Tera Wat Su has clearly said: "Yu saw that once when he was transcribing, five or six drafts of "Comfort and Treasure Jade in the Temple of the Prison God" were lost by borrowers. Sigh!" In other words, soon after Xueqin's death, this book was not complete, and the teraformis that compiled the book could not be recovered or completed.

Fat Criticism refers to the annotation of Fat Yan Zhai, who is the main commentator of the manuscript system of "Dream of Red Mansions". The criticism of Fat Yan Zhai is called "Fat Commentary" or "Fat Criticism" in the red academic circles, and the manuscript with Fat Yan Zhai's criticism is called "Fat Version", and the Fat Commentary is the version of "Dream of Red Mansions" that is most in line with Cao Xueqin's thoughts.

Han Zhou flipped through the pages one by one.

I was fascinated by it, but I was also very entangled.

Because the tragedy of the later period of the Red Chamber was too strong.

After the Rongguo Mansion and Ning Guofu were raided, the situation of the four major families of Jia Shi and Wang Xue was extremely bleak.

Baochai died early.

Baoyu became a watchman (a worker who shouted "the weather is dry, be careful of the candles" at night), and lived a difficult life. met Shi Xiangyun, who was also reduced to the bottom and picked up charcoal for a living. The two eventually got married, supported each other, and spent their lives together.

......

"Dream of Red Mansions", which was very romantic and mysterious in the early stage, but the final ending was very realistic and tragic.

Such a contrast is even more emotional.

After reading the whole book, Han Zhou fell into a sad mood and couldn't extricate himself for a long time.

......

The next day, Han Zhou found Chen Dazhong on WeChat.

Happy Little Jumping Frog: Dazhong, do you know an expert in red science?

After a while.

Chen Dazhong of Fudan Ancient Books Institute: There is an associate professor, Bai Cheng, who specializes in red studies. He has excellent character and is also his own person. I'll tell him and let him add you.

Ten minutes later, I received a friend verification.

Han Zhoudian agreed.

Received a WeChat message.

Red and White City: Hello Mr. Han, I have been looking up for a long time. I'm Baicheng, you can call me Xiaobai. I specialize in "Dream of Red Mansions", if you have any questions, just ask me. You must know everything, and you must say everything.

Happy Little Jumping Frog: I discovered "Dream of Red Mansions" forty times after that.

The other side was silent for a few minutes, and then replied to the message again.

Red and White City: Mr. Han, it's really ???
