Chapter 198: Setting a Precedent (Subscription Requested)
Lin Ruofeng didn't care whether those so-called red experts were angry or not, and just took the microphone and talked about it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Then let's start class now!" Lin Ruofeng said lightly. "In the last lesson, we made a judgment on the author of "Dream of Red Mansions", as well as the first 80 episodes and the last 40 episodes of "Dream of Red Mansions", and explained how many episodes of the real "Dream of Red Mansions" are. Now, is there anyone else who has a question about the question from the last lesson, or wants to refute it?"
"Nope!"
The students shook their heads, after more than a week, countless experts in various fields worked day and night to verify the views put forward by Lin Ruofeng, and the results were all that: the views put forward by Lin Ruofeng are correct!
Therefore, not only the students, but also those people of the Red School could not open their mouths. Doubts? Their minds are full of doubts, but who can refute them? If they can refute it, they still need to suffer from Lin Ruofeng's wretched anger here?
Seeing this, Lin Ruofeng opened his mouth and said, "Okay, since everyone has no objection to the previous class, then I will continue to talk about it!"
"As I mentioned earlier, New Red Studies mainly studies Dream of Red Mansions from two aspects, namely 'Cao Xue' and 'Version'. Generally speaking, I have divided it into five key research directions, please look at the projection!" Lin Ruofeng clicked the mouse. "The first point is the study of the author of "Dream of Red Mansions" and his family history. For example, who is the author of "Dream of Red Mansions"? Who is the author of the last 40 episodes, where is Cao Xueqin's ancestral hometown, and the year of Cao Xueqin's birth and death, and so on. The second point is the study of the version of "Dream of Red Mansions", the origins, similarities and differences between the various versions, and which version is closest to the style of the original work? Third, the study of the comments of the Yan Zhai is also called "lipid studies". Fourth, according to the fat batch or some other materials, the exploration of the plot of the last 40 episodes of "Manuscripts" is also known as Exploration Studies. Finally, the study of the history of the study of "Dream of the Red Chamber", the evaluation, collation, and exploration of the materials related to "Dream of the Red Chamber", the study of the rules and regulations in "Dream of the Red Chamber", the study of food and clothing, and so on. ”
When Lin Ruofeng proposed a five-point research direction, the audience immediately discussed it, and they had not thought of the research direction proposed by Lin Ruofeng before.
"Lin Ruofeng put forward these five points, there is indeed something worth studying!"
"That's right, but these five points can be regarded as the main content of the research of New Red Studies, right?
"He concluded the author of "Dream of Red Mansions" and the flaws in the content before and after, so that he could put forward these five points on this basis!"
"Only Lin Ruofeng can think of this, I really don't know what the so-called 'Exploration Studies' is?"
"Lin Ruofeng really has signs of founding a sect!"
Lin Ruofeng once again proposed a new research direction for "Dream of Red Mansions", and at the same time solved everyone's doubts about the study of "Cao Xue" and "version".
Take a different path!
This is everyone's evaluation of Lin Ruofeng's opinion!
Even the Suoyin faction, the inscription faction, the commentary faction and others were silent, although they didn't like Lin Ruofeng, but the five points he put forward were indeed very elegant.
And the students, who had already stared at Lin Ruofeng intently, were excited in their hearts, wanting to know how Lin Ruofeng would explain and interpret this "Dream of Red Mansions", which has many flaws and mysteries, and all red experts dare not talk about it.
Lin Ruofeng pointed to the above five points and said: "The so-called research is actually based on some historical data, after synthesis; Analyze, deduce, and draw realistic and new conclusions. However, the Critical School here refers to a method, that is, a method that focuses on the excavation, collation, and inference of historical materials, and does not mean that all the conclusions of the "Critical School" are in line with reality and correct. ”
Everyone listened carefully and waited for what was next.
"For example, if we know that the author of 'Dream of the Red Chamber' is Cao Xueqin, then we can deduce and study why Cao Xueqin wrote 'A Dream of the Red Chamber'? What was his motivation? What was the reason for him to write 'A Dream of the Red Chamber'? Under what circumstances and under what circumstances? Why were there only the first 80 episodes? Where did the other manuscripts go? Can we continue to extrapolate from Cao Xueqin's life to confirm these problems?"
Faced with a series of questions raised by Lin Ruofeng, the students were immersed in deep thought, and they were eager to know the answers.
Lin Ruofeng opened "Dream of Red Mansions" in another way, which made all the students full of curiosity.
"Mr. Lin, why did Cao Xueqin write "Dream of Red Mansions"?"
"That's right, Mr. Lin, you said that the real "Dream of Red Mansions" is only one hundred and eight times?
"Can you judge from Cao Xueqin's life and family background?"
All students give full attention.
Lin Ruofeng smiled faintly and said affirmatively: "The questions raised by everyone can naturally draw conclusions from our research on Cao Xueqin's life experience. ”
"Teacher Lin, tell me about it!"
"Tell us about it!"
"I only know that Cao Xueqin's life is very bumpy, but I don't know the specifics!"
Hearing this, the students naturally became curious.
"Don't worry, listen to me slowly. Lin Ruofeng explained with a smile. As everyone knows, Cao Xueqin is a big family, but she is in the middle of the family. You may think, is this one of the reasons why Cao Xueqin wrote "Dream of Red Mansions"? In fact, it is more than that!
"Oh, Mr. Lin, can you stop selling Guanzi?"
"That's right, let's talk about it!"
When the students saw Lin Ruofeng talk about stopping, it was really appetizing.
Lin Ruofeng smiled.
"The reason why Cao Xueqin wrote "Dream of Red Mansions" has another hidden secret, that is, Cao Xueqin's character. After experiencing the middle and fall of the family, Cao Xueqin's personality has changed greatly, she is addicted to alcohol, and has a proud attitude towards the dark society. So, this led to the birth of "Dream of Red Mansions". ”
"Cao Xueqin's creation of "Dream of Red Mansions" was carried out under extremely difficult conditions, and it can be said that every word seems to be bloody, and ten years of hard work is unusual. This huge work has exhausted his life's work, but the whole book is not finished yet, why?" Lin Ruofeng paused deliberately.
Everyone stretched their necks and waited for the answer, but their hearts were spurting Lin Ruofeng, you guys talk about it quickly!
Lin Ruofeng smiled slightly and said, "Cao Xueqin couldn't afford to be sick because of the excessive grief of her beloved son's death, and she was not yet fifty years old. It is precisely because of Cao Xueqin's illness that Gao E's supplement was made. ”
Cao Xueqin's Dream of the Red Chamber, originally known as The Story of the Stone, was basically finalized only 80 times, and was circulated in the form of a manuscript for 30 years. In the 56th year of Qianlong (1791), Cheng Weiyuan and Gao He published it for the first time in movable type, which was already a 12O book, and the title of the book was changed to "Dream of Red Mansions". ”
The last 40 chapters are generally believed to have been written by Gao E, and according to the clues in the book, he may have seen some manuscripts of Cao Xueqin's "Stone Records" that had been lost after 80 chapters, and continued to write "Dream of Red Mansions". Make "Dream of Red Mansions" a complete novel with a beginning and an end. ”
Although the last forty chapters written by Gao He are not as good as the first eighty chapters written by Cao Xueqin, Gao He retains the tragic ending of the original work, in which Daiyu's death, assault and remarriage, etc., are also vividly written, wonderful and touching. Gao E's contribution cannot be ignored. However, in the last forty chapters, it is written that Baoyu will take the examination and take the middle school, his son and nephew will become famous in the imperial examination, and the revival of the family will be revived, etc., which obviously does not conform to Cao Xueqin's creative intention and destroys the theme of the original book, which should be pointed out......"
Lin Ruofeng said bit by bit.
The students in the audience, as well as the others, listened intently, and when something was said, they let out an exclamation. When Lin Ruofeng asked some questions, they began to ponder again.
The class ended quickly, and Lin Ruofeng also told little by little according to his own wishes and rhythm.
"Okay, what about the 'Cao Xue' part, basically it's almost finished, and there are some basic small problems, I believe you can figure it out when you go back and look for information. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me later!"
As the bell rang, Lin Ruofeng clapped his hands and shouted, "Get out of class!"
After listening to this class, the teachers of Xiangjiang University no longer doubted Lin Ruofeng's ability, on the contrary, they admired it even more.
There was a look of adoration in the students' eyes.
The Red School faction, you look at me, I look at you, all with a wry smile.
Originally, they came to find fault with them, and in a class, they were attracted by what Lin Ruofeng said, and with his explanation, they kept thinking.
They have to admit that Lin Ruofeng's speech is extremely wonderful, and every place is well-founded, and there is no problem with the logic. Although the explanation is not necessarily true, they have to admit that Lin Ruofeng's new method of studying red science is indeed a precedent.
It can be said that Lin Ruofeng is at the forefront of red research. What they are studying is indeed as Lin Ruofeng said, standing still.
From today on, the new red science proposed by Lin Ruofeng, as well as the new way of research, will definitely sweep the entire red science circle, and even all the people or things in the society who love red science.
Lin Ruofeng has opened a new door for the world and even future generations to study "Dream of Red Mansions"!
