The Past and Present Life of Baoyu in "Eighty Red Treatises" (1)

In "Dream of Red Mansions", Zhen Baoyu, who has a parallel life related to Jia Baoyu's life experience, the mending stone in his previous life, and the attendant of the god Ying of the Red Flawed Palace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Who is Baoyu exactly? In the past, the popular view was that the Tianhua was transformed into Jia Baoyu, and the Shenying waiter was incarnated as Zhen Baoyu, and Daiyu's fans were mostly not worth the "tears of life".

In fact, if you use the lines to outline the relationship between the characters, then things will become very complicated. The four people presented in front of us, after being linked with double arrows at the four corners of the square, we will find that the relationship between the characters is as elusive as the Taiji diagram, and those who like to compare with math readers can try to count them.

In addition to the above possibilities, with the Mending Heaven Stone and the Shenying Attendant as the starting point, there are two possibilities that are the largest:

First, the Heaven Replenishing Stone and the Shen Ying attendant are one, and the Shen Ying Attendant is a change after the cultivation of the Heaven Replenishing Stone.

The book describes a deducible relationship between the two:

After the transformation of the Tiantian Stone, it is "bright and beautiful jade" in the first round, and it is described in detail in the eighth chapter as "I saw that it was as big as a bird's egg, as bright as a bright glow, as smooth as a crisp, and entangled with five-colored patterns".

In the book, the Shen Ying waiter only has the words "Shen Ying Waiter of the Red Flaw Palace" to explain his identity, and the back is the past story, and "Flaw" and "Ying" are also jade genres.

If the mythological background of "Dream of Red Mansions" is deduced as a fantasy: the mythology of the past plot is rooted in Nuwa, an ancient sage. The Red Spot Palace is a gathering place for jade immortals, and it is possible that it is related to the Heaven Replenishing Stone. It is also possible to achieve positive results in the cultivation of the Heaven Replenishing Stone, and the identity of the waiter reflects its rapid process. After all, the bead grass has also been cultivated into a female body, and she has entered the sister line of "leaving the sea of hatred above the sky and pouring sorrow into the spring mountain and sending incense caves to the illusory realm". Since Nuwa is also the god of marriage, the too illusory realm may also be her subordinates. In this way, the mythological background in "Dream of Red Mansions" has clues to follow.

The above is the author's reverie for a while, and the inference of the listing is passing. Why? The first time the monk pointed out that the chronological order is that the Shen Ying waiter first registers in front of the police fantasy fairy case, and then the monk delivers the heavenly stone, and if the two are one, then you have to borrow the time treasure box to make a crossing.

Another possibility is that Baoyu is a Shenying attendant, and the mending stone is just "tiptoeing" in the book.

Some people will say, isn't this waiting for the Heaven Replenishing Stone? Is it just a record of a dream to fill the heavens?

But if you look at it from Cao Xueqin's point of view, it's completely different. This reflects Cao Xueqin's strong belief in her own creation of "Dream of Red Mansions". Taking the Heavenly Stone as a memory, Cao Xueqin and the ancient writers say that people's positions are the same, and they are clear about the impact of their actions on others. The metaphors are like those hidden in many of the words in the book.

Judging from the ninety-eighth chapter of Gao E's continuation book, "The Bitter Bead Soul Returns to Hate the Heavenly Disease God Ying Tears and Lovesickness", the predecessors were inclined to this possibility.

Some people pointed out that in the fifth episode, the sister of the police phantom fairy Gu bluntly said that Baoyu is "this turbidity" and the two immortals of the monk and Tao refer to the mending stone as a "stupid thing", so the mending stone should be Baoyu. And the Shenying waiter is the benefactor of the Zhuzhu Immortal Grass, if the Shenying waiter is Baoyu, then will the sister of the Vigilant Fairy Gu be so unkind? Therefore, the mending stone should be Jia Baoyu, and the Shenying waiter should be Zhen Baoyu.

Actually, this is not surprising. Because Shen Ying is already flawed, Ying is also a beautiful stone like jade. The realm of too illusory is under the jurisdiction of female immortals, and it is rare for women to be polite to Shenying attendants. Because Shen Ying is a good immortal, he wants to go down to earth, and he is so tired that he has to go down to the world, so it is logical that these fairies have no face.
