The house was burned down, why did Zhen Shiyin sell the grange and join his father-in-law
[Text: Although there were soldiers and civilians to save at that time, the fire had become a threat, how could it be saved?] After burning overnight, Fang gradually extinguished, and I don't know how many burned. It's just a pity that the Zhen family is next door, and it has already burned to a rubble field. Only his wife and several family members were not harmed. The anxious man only sighed. 】
A fire to the house, food, clothing, supplies...... The basic conditions for Zhen Shiyin's family to survive are all gone, and the flowers and trees, antiques, calligraphy and paintings he likes are gone, can you not stomp your feet and sigh? Maybe at the same time, he can rescue some gold and silver jewelry, land deeds and silver tickets. [Text: I had to counsel with my wife and go to the Grange to settle down.] Zhen Shiyin can only go to the countryside to be a small landlord, in ancient times, buying land with money was the most common means of investment, there was land rent, there was food, Zhen Shiyin's family was a rural eunuch, and it was not surprising that there were some real estate in the suburbs.
This sentence is very critical, the ancient peasants almost relied on the sky to eat, continuous natural disasters, grain production was reduced, but the landlord's rent could not be less, farmers and tenants had to survive when they were starving, and they couldn't take care of so much in order to survive, which led to the fact that the author used this word, "rat" refers to petty theft, and "theft" has the meaning of gang crime, and the bold gang gang, burglary, robbery, and the theft gang is a nest of bandits.
[Text: Nothing more than grabbing land and grabbing land,] everyone should pay attention to saying that "grabbing land and grabbing land" is not really to grab land, and the land that has been robbed has to be cultivated to have a harvest, and it cannot be eaten directly, "grabbing land and grabbing land" refers to robbing granges and landlords, just because the people are too poor to produce so many thieves and bandits, they can only rob those who are not poor. At this time, the life of the big landlord's family was better, because the family had a thick foundation and could afford to raise a family and a nursing home. There are also some landlords who have a good reputation, and in the event of natural disasters, they reduce their land rent and give money. It is often said that "there is a way to rob and rob" and the leaders of the bandits also raised the banner of justice that "for the rich and unkind, rob the rich and help the poor".
Zhen Shiyin, who moved into the grange in difficulty, could not afford to support the family and nursing home, and had no favor to the local poor, and had nothing to do with the thieves and bandits, he was the target of robbery. [Text: Rats steal and dogs steal, and the people are uneasy, so the officers and soldiers are arrested, and it is difficult to shelter. This sentence is even more interesting, being stolen and robbed, the people are already uneasy, and the officers and soldiers are needed to arrest them. It is said that after the officers and soldiers are cleared, they should have a good life, so how can it be difficult to settle down? The author is too clever, he is secretly writing about the corruption of the government and the darkness of politics, not only inaction, but also profiting from it.
In the year of the disaster, please ask the imperial court to release grain for disaster relief, which can fill your own pockets. The disaster relief efforts were not enough, starvation was everywhere, and the victims gathered into thieves, so they applied to the imperial court again to open a warehouse and release grain, and made another handful. Thieves are rampant, and it is urgent to expand the team to recruit village warriors, recruit those who can fight and dare to fight into the government, and give them food, which indirectly weakens the power of thieves, and can also be directly used to fight thieves. Military rations and salaries are also a legitimate income for officials and lords, and as for how much temporary workers are recruited and reported, it depends on how greedy the officials are. Once the suppression of bandits is successful, these temporary workers will be dismissed and return to their hometowns to farm, and they will not be able to get the imperial court to allocate food and pay, let alone a large amount of pension for serious injuries and deaths due to the suppression of bandits.
If you want to have more cats, you have to make sure that there are enough mice, so you have to fight the bandits, but not kill them. If you fight often, you have to keep a cat for a long time, and you often have the advantage of being seriously injured and killed by bandits. Under this political ecology, the money that Zhen Shiyin brought out of the fire was robbed, and he reported the case! Officers and soldiers came to investigate the scene and interrogate clues, Zhen Shiyin was indispensable to hold tea, hand cigarettes, manage wine and rice, and in order to ensure that the government handled the case wholeheartedly, he must give the meaning to the leader. The head catcher and the team leader took the money, and as soon as the scene was said, they slapped their butts and left to arrest the thieves. People are on official business, and they have to go to other crime scenes to eat and drink and accept property! You can't just protect Zhen Shiyin's family, and you can't afford to eat! Now it's okay, the thief didn't catch it, the news of Zhen Shiyin's report can spread, the thieves hate it, and there is money to ask the officers and soldiers to arrest us and rob him again. The officers and soldiers want to hurry up and rob him again, there is money to spend again!
So, [Text: Shiyin had to change the grange and take his wife and two maids to his father-in-law's house. His father-in-law's name is Fengsu, [Meng Shuangxing Sandwich Criticism: Customs. This is as big as the state people, although it is a farmer, the family is still prosperous. [Jiazhu Mei Criticism: The pretext is probably such a custom. 】
The text says that Zhen Shiyin's father-in-law is called Fengsu, "Benguan is as big as the state people's family", which means that Fengsu's hometown is as big as the state, I think, according to the homophony method, "Daru" should be the homonym of "great humiliation", a cultural person who has been an official, fell into trouble and took refuge in his father-in-law, his father-in-law is a snob, Zhen Shiyin was wronged in the family of his closest relatives, which is simply a great shame.
The criticism reminds that "Fengsu" is homophonic to "customs", and customs are conventions and customs, and the vast majority of people abide by them. So let's take a look at what kind of custom is embodied through the description of the character of Feng Su. From the beginning of Zhen Shiyin's embarrassment, Feng Su disliked it in his heart, half coaxed and half earned, and saw that Shiyin was getting poorer and poorer, so he "said some ready-made words, and people complained that they were not good at living, and they were only blindly lazy to eat". After Zhen Shiyin left home, Jia Yucun saw Feng Su and gave two taels of silver, and he went home happily, not thinking of his son-in-law at all, but the Zhen family lady was sad.
Jia Yucun said that marrying Jiaoxing and giving Fengsu Baijin is even more joyful, without the slightest human touch, and always adhering to the principle of interests first. From this custom, it can be seen that the author lived in an era where people were indifferent and mercenary, and it was not a state of etiquette at all. The custom is based on profit, full of copper smell and philistine atmosphere, speculative monopoly, and maximizing profits. Zhen Shiyin was a humble gentleman with an elegant personality and helpful intentions, and under the influence of this custom, Confucianism had no choice but to become a monk with a Taoist priest.
Okay song and good song annotation
[Text: Coincidentally, on this day, when I was on crutches to take a break in front of the street, I suddenly saw a lame Taoist over there, crazy and detached, Ma 屣 xǐ quail chún clothes, reciting a few words in his mouth, the Tao is: The world knows that the gods are good, but the fame cannot be forgotten! Where will the past and the present meet? The barren mound is gone, and the grass is gone. 】
In the past, he was the king of ten thousand times. Now it is the mound in the middle of the hill. I don't see the tomb of Wuling heroes, and there are no flowers and no wine hoeing fields.
[Everyone in the world knows that the gods are good, only gold and silver can't forget!] In the end, he only hated to gather much, and when he reached a long time, his eyes were closed. Is it the sorrow that people die and the money is not spent? Or is it pitiful that people live without money? Feng Su is a typical example of seeing money! Zhen Shiyin is a typical example of people living with no money! Those officials who were asked to behead their homes were even more typical of people who died and didn't spend their money! In the thirteenth episode, I discussed with you the traditional Chinese character "Qian", which is composed of Jin Gege, if you want to say "a knife on the head of the color character", then there are two guns next to the word money, the sixteenth time, Qin Zhong still remembered the three or four thousand taels of silver left by his father before he died, about "Brother Kong Fang", everyone should understand it for themselves!
[Everyone in the world knows that the gods are good, only the wife can't forget! ] Jun's birthday said kindness, and Jun died and went with others. Men remarry, women remarry, there are many empathy lovers, and few are unswerving, it is not surprising that Baoyu's feelings for Daiyu are not so perfect and innocent, physical infidelity, and ideological abuse, we will all read later.
[Everyone in the world knows that the gods are good, only children and grandchildren can't forget! ] There are many infatuated parents in ancient times, who has seen filial piety to their children and grandchildren? The unfilial descendants of Jiafu, we will all read about it later.
[When Shi Yin heard this, he greeted him and said, "What are you talking about? I only heard some 'good''' The man smiled and said, "If you hear the words 'good' and 'good', you still understand." You can know that there are all kinds of things in the world, and good is good, and good is good. If not, it is not good, and if it is good, it must be. My song is called "Okay Song" "Shiyin is originally wise,] but the understanding is not enough! [When I heard this, I already understood it in my heart. Because of the smile: "Stop! How about I annotate your "Okay Song"? The Taoist smiled: "You understand, you understand." Shi Yinai said:]
[The burrow is empty, and the wat hù is full of beds back then,] [Jiaxu side batch: Ning and Rong are not the first. 】
"Wat" refers to the hand board held by the ancient minister, and many students have seen it in film and television dramas. According to historical records, wat board has become an office item for officials in the Shang Dynasty, and the raw materials used to make wat board are mainly bamboo, jade, and ivory. In ancient times, when the minister of civil and military affairs met the king, he held the "wat" with both hands to record the king's work deployment, and he could also write down the things to be played to the king on the "wat" board to prevent forgetting, which is a bit of a notebook to carry with him when he was in a meeting.
In addition to memos, the wat board also serves as a ceremonial function. In ancient times, the emperor was high, he had to maintain his majesty at all times, and give his subjects a sense of mystery, so even high-ranking officials who could enter the court could not casually straighten their waists and raise their heads to meet the emperor's eyes, which was not only the embodiment of the emperor's authority, but also the courtiers' respect for the monarch. Therefore, the ministers can use the wat board to cover their faces, and they only need to keep their eyes on the wat board when they are performing.
Before the Tang Dynasty, officials used wat boards without distinguishing between status levels. Four years after the martial arts of the Tang Dynasty, it began to stipulate that officials above the fifth grade should use wat boards made of ivory, and only wat boards made of bamboo below the fifth grade could be used. By the time of the Ming Dynasty, it was stipulated that the use of ivory wat boards for the fifth grade and above, while officials below the fifth grade were not allowed to use the wat board. After the Qing army entered the customs, there was no such habit, and the wat board was no longer used.
As wat board etiquette continued to evolve, it had another effect, being able to distinguish between statuses. If you take a wat board, you will show that you are an official, and if you can take an ivory wat board, you will show that you are an official of five grades or above. On some important occasions, officials also need to hold the wat board in their hands, so that the ceremonial officials in charge of ceremonial reception can arrange the corresponding reception specifications and positions for the ministers according to the different wat boards.
The author uses the allusion of "full bed wat" in this sentence, talking about the family of Guo Ziyi, the famous general of Fenyang County in the Tang Dynasty. For the sake of rhyme, write "full bed" as "full bed". Guo Ziyi's life has gone through Tang Xuanzong, Suzong, Daizong and Dezong, and the elders of the four dynasties. During the Anshi Rebellion, Guo Ziyi served as the envoy of Shuofang Jie Du and defeated Shi Siming in Hebei. Tang Suzong ascended the throne, Guo Ziyi served as the deputy marshal of Hedong in Guannei, recovered Luoyang, Chang'an, and the official position was promoted to Zhongshu Ling, and the title was entitled. Tang Dynasty Zong will Shengping Princess Xu married Guo Ziyi's sixth son Guo Hua, Guo Ziyi became a relative of the emperor, at that time, he covered the world and the Lord did not doubt, the most powerful ministers and the public is not sick, poor and extravagant.
When Guo Ziyi celebrated his 60th birthday, the seven sons and eight sons-in-law all came to celebrate his birthday, because they were all high-ranking officials in the court, they came to the house to worship their birthdays, and they all had wat boards in their hands, and when they entered the hall, they all put the wat boards on the wat bed. Later, this allusion was painted into paintings, compiled into plays, and written into novels, which were widely circulated among the people. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, "Full Bed Wat" became the highlight of Kunqu Opera.
Therefore, the criticism says that "Ning and Rong are not the first", and they used to use wat boards, and there were many wealthy families who were more noble than Jiafu in the past, and they were also drowned in the long river of history.
[Withered grass and withered poplar, once a song and dance field. 【Jiaxu side batch: After the defeat of Ning and Rong. After the defeat of Jiafu, the trees in the place where he used to sing and feast, listen to music and watch operas were withered and overgrown with weeds.
[Spider silk is full of carved beams,] [Jiaxu side batch: Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Ziyunxuan and other places. Xiaoxiang Pavilion is where Sister Lin, who died of incense and jade in the Grand View Garden, lives, where is Ziyunxuan? For the first time, the vast master and the misty real person said to the stone: "Take you to the prosperous and prosperous state, the family of poetry and hairpins, the prosperous land of flowers and willows, the gentle and rich township, and go to live and work in peace and contentment." There are criticisms that the flowers and willows are prosperous and refer to the Grand View Garden, and the gentle and rich township refers to Ziyunxuan.
But the text I see now does not appear in the place of Ziyunxuan, some people say that it refers to Jiangyunxuan, and Jiangyunxuan is the former residence of Baoyu. When Baoyu came back from the eighth visit to Baochai, Qingwen complained that her hands were frozen in order to paste the plaque written by Baoyu. Baoyu touched Qingwen's hand and looked up at the three words of the new book on the door. When Daiyu came, Baoyu smiled and said, "Good sister, don't lie, do you see which of these three words is good?" Daiyu looked up at the door bucket in the inner room, and posted three new words, writing "Jiang Yunxuan".
Judging from the text of the eighth chapter, Jiang Yunxuan is obviously a plaque created by Baoyu himself, and there was no concubine at that time, and there was no Grand View Garden, and of course there was no Yihong Courtyard. Therefore, Jiang Yunxuan is the former residence of Baoyu, "Jiang" is red, and "purple" is even redder, red and purple! I think that the "Ziyunxuan" in the criticism should refer to Jia Baoyu's new residence "Yihong Courtyard". Dream of Red Mansions was first circulated in manuscripts, and it has been revised many times, and here are the comments written earlier, and the copyists only copied them to spread the falsehood. Since the flowers and willows are prosperously referring to the Grand View Garden, the gentle and wealthy township opposite to it should of course be the Yihong Courtyard in the Grand View Garden.
There is also evidence of other mistakes in the transcription of the text, for example, in the forty-fourth chapter, Wang Xifeng was jealous, Ping'er was beaten, and Li Kun pulled Ping'er into the Grand View Garden. In order to comfort Ping'er, Baoyu led her to Yihong Courtyard, and there was a scene of "Ping'er's makeup". There are criticisms that suddenly make Ping'er dress up in Jiangyun Xuan, which is beyond the imagination of the world, and Baoyu is also unexpected. The author struggled. The criticism said that "Yihong Courtyard" was "Jiang Yunxuan", and at this time, Baoyu had moved into Yihong Courtyard for a long time, and the name of the hospital was repeatedly mentioned in the text of the book, and the approver would not be able to see it. If the criticism of the novel is circulated like the main text, if it is a mistake or omission, the author will revise it. This is obviously a phenomenon of copyists who only copy books in order to spread false information.
[The green gauze is now pasted on the canopy window again. ] [Jiaxu side batch: Yucun and other new Rong outbreak homes. Jiaxu eyebrows: Let's talk about the scene first, the new and the new, the beautiful and the decaying, and it has been seen repeatedly. As I mentioned in the previous episode, rich and noble families use yarn to make window paper in summer. When Yucun was poor, he couldn't eat a mouthful of food, and when he was developed, of course, he had to improve his living conditions, lay out the scene, and show his status, and the same was true for other people. You sing and I appear, and the success of the family is so reciprocated, and when there is no end, the broken foot Taoist said: "You can know that there are all kinds of things in the world, good is good, and good is good." If not, it is not good, and if it is good, it must be. ”
[What do you say that the fat is thick, the powder is fragrant, how can the temples become frost again? ] ] [Jiaxu side batch: Baochai, Xiangyun and a dry person. The girl is young and beautiful, and she loves to dress up, but youth is fleeting, and time is difficult to return, and the text describes almost all of the golden hairpins when they are in their prime, "Gao Tang Mingjing is sad and white-haired, and the morning is like green silk turning into snow at dusk." The criticism said "Baochai, Xiangyun and others", about eighty times later, about the description of their appearance!
[Yesterday, the loess Longtou sent white bones,] [Jiaxu side batch: Daiyu, Qingwen and others. Eighty times ago, Qingwen died first, and Daiyu's death will depend on speculation, and it will be discussed later.

Too many people are unkind, like the new and hate the old, and seem to be more affectionate than Jinjian, but suddenly empathize and don't fall in love, only laugh with the newcomer, don't listen to the old cry, and can't linger. The footbreaker said: "If you can't do it, it's not good, if it's good, it must be." "It is speculated that after Daiyu's death, Baoyu married Baochai, and if it can't linger, the ending won't be good, let's discuss it later.

[I am sighing that his life is not long, and I know that I will return and mourn! [Jiaxu Mei Criticism: A period of stone fire, sadness and joy can not be. Wind and dew, grass and frost, wealth and lust, greed can't be greedy. Life is short, just like Su Dongpo said, such as a horse in a gap, a fire in a stone, a body in a dream, poor and extravagant, too much greed, too many and too many people who are not greedy, and the Taoist said: "If you can't do it, it's not good, if you want to be good, you have to be." "If you can't be greedy, you can't get better.
[Well-trained, it is uncertain to be a strong beam in the future. [Jiaxu side batch: Liu Xianglian is a cadre. Later in the text, it was written that Xue Pan went out to travel and met robbers, according to Xue Pan's words, he happened to meet Liu Xianglian and saved him, maybe it was not so simple in fact. The criticism here says that Liu Xianglian and her people are robbers. When did Liu Xianglian become a robber? It won't be after the death of Third Sister You, Liu Xianglian became a monk at that time, and she could only be the one who relieved Xue Pan from the siege. The robbers robbed Xue Pan, Liu Xianglian knew the robbers, or it was a gang of robbers, maybe there was a description of Liu Xianglian, who was a monk after eighty times, because she was arrested as a robber.
[Choose the ointment, who expects to live in Fireworks Alley! ] [Jiaxu Mei Criticism: After the death of a child, there is no evidence, and there is no planning and calculation before death, and I can't be infatuated. Parents all over the world, hoping that their sons will become dragons and their daughters will become phoenixes, desperately make money, and leave family property to their children, but whether their children can be happy in the future, no matter how good the parents' planning is before death, they can't manage it after death, and they may also hurt their children because of their doting before death, even so, they can't be infatuated!

Jiaxu Mei Criticism: A period of fame has been promoted and deposed for no time, and it is hard to fight forcibly, and I can't be afraid of it. Why is it Jia Lan and Jia Yan, the text is missing after eighty times, so I won't discuss it for the time being.
[Random baking, you sing and I will appear,] [Jiaxu side batch: total receipt. Jiaxu Mei criticized: A total of hundreds of millions of ancient and modern idiots, a total of illusory scenes, this phantom thing disturbs one after another, and there is no day. The rich suddenly became poor, and the poor suddenly became rich again. The young suddenly aged, the living died suddenly, the love was more than Jin Jian's empathy, and the companionship without love was old, the world was impermanent, and everything was illusory. wanted to teach his son a lesson to glorify his ancestors, but he went to be a robber. wanted to make her daughter a noblewoman, but she was forced to become a prostitute. wanted to climb higher and higher in the high-ranking official Houlu, but he became a prisoner, sent to the frontier, his fate is unpredictable, and no one can escape its mercy. But the people in the world still don't wake up, and they are still fighting for each other, like a chaotic stage, making endless trouble.
[Recognize that another country is a hometown.] 【Jiaxu side batch: The Qinggeng Peak of the Too Illusory Realm is knotted together. With this comment, I think that after eighty times, there should be a description of the return to the illusory realm after experiencing the red dust.

Jingmei criticized: The word "let's go", if you see and hear, you really let go of the cliff. If you don't come over, if you can do it? [snatched the cloth from the Taoist's shoulders and carried it on his back, but he didn't go home, and went away with the crazy Taoist. 】
[At the moment, it stirs the neighborhood, and everyone regards it as a news legend.

Fortunately, there are two old maids and servants by his side, and the three masters and servants make some needlework and sell day and night to help my father with it. Although Na Feng Su complained every day, he was helpless. My daughter is like this and complains, hateful!
[On this day, the eldest girl of the Zhen family was buying line in front of the door, and suddenly heard the sound of shouting on the street,] When the ancient officials went out, the messenger who led the way in front of him ordered pedestrians to give way, in order to show their majesty, which was "shouting". [Everyone said that the new grandfather had arrived.

The black hat scarlet robe is wearing a black gauze hat and a big red robe. [Jiaxu side batch: Is it okay to come to Yucun? ] Congratulations, congratulations. Jiazhu Mei criticized: The so-called "chaotic coaxing, you sing and I will appear" is also. [The maid was stunned, thinking that this official was kind and kind, as if she had seen it there. The two of them have a precedent, the Tao is not the Tao, the devil is not the devil, the good and evil are in the hearts of the people, and the desire is not lust and affection, and the marriage is destined. [So when he entered the room, he didn't care about it.] [Jiaxu side batch: It is childless love, so there is a distinction between wives. 】
This sentence of criticism: It is childless love, so there is a distinction between wives. It makes people think deeply, the approximate meaning, is because Jiao Xing looked back at Yucun twice, it is indeed just curiosity, unintentional, so there is the result of becoming a genuine lady of Yucun in the future, even if this fate contains a bit of luck that Yucun will be wrong, there is also the meaning of "intentional flower arrangement does not bloom, unintentional willow willow shady". Nowadays, we often sigh that people who love each other can't be together, either because they are happy and eventually have to make way for money, or they hate to meet when they are not married. There is even more unrequited love, a lot of sorrow and deep love, and still ends up with a ruthless ending. It seems that the person next to the pillow is never the one who has a heart, maybe it is because he is too greedy for the love of children, but there is no difference between husband and wife. There have been one or even several heart-wrenching loves, and those who have been together for a lifetime are far from being the intended person, perhaps some are destined to be dewy marriages, and some should be together for the rest of their lives.
[In the evening, when I was about to rest, I suddenly heard a sound, and there was a knock on the door, and many people shouted in chaos, saying, "The master of this mansion sent someone to pass on someone to ask questions. When Feng Su heard this, he was stunned, not knowing what was going on. It turned out that Jia Yucun wanted to repay Zhen Shiyin, Feng Su was scared, and suddenly he was happy, and he went home happily with two taels of silver, and his family was worried, and he was relieved to see him come back.
If you want to know the signs of rise and fall at the moment, you must ask the cold-eyed onlookers
Poetry Cloud:

If you want to know the signs of rise and fall,
You have to ask the cold-eyed people who are onlookers.
[Jiaxu double-line clipping: Only this poem is wonderful! This kind of talent is what Xueqin is good at in her life, and Yu claims to be a storyteller rather than a poet. 】
We read Jia Yucun's "Nostalgia for the Moon" in episode 12, "I don't know three life wishes, and I often add a period of sorrow." The critic said that it was the first poem left by the author in "The Stone Record", and the critic believed that Xueqin also wrote the "Stone Record" for the purpose of leaving her own poems. Now I praise Xueqin's poetry is so good, writing poetry is what Xueqin is good at, and the critic writes annotations in the cracks of the book, only commenting on the book, not the poem. This is also a euphemism to admit that his poetry level is limited, and if the evaluation is inappropriate, he will be laughable and generous.
However, I am thick-skinned, and I dare to discuss this poem with you, and I also hope that everyone can be like Fat Yan Zhai and Tera Wat Suo, and send a barrage in the video to criticize and correct, first read the poem under the second review, or that sentence, if Mr. Guo Degang came to read it, it would be good.
Qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, hops and tea are eight elegant things, in addition to cultivating sentiment and playing chess, it also tempers people's will. The black and white world, between square inches, seems to be silent, but in fact, there is a hidden murderous intention. Sometimes, seeing that "the mountains and rivers are poor and there is no way out", and in an instant, "the peaks and loops turn to a different day", China's chess culture has a long history, and the author uses the chess game as the title poem.
In several lipo editions of "Dream of Red Mansions", this poem is at the beginning of the second main text, which shows that this "title poem" is an elaboration of "Leng Zixing's speech on Rongguofu" in response to Huimu.
Let's start with the literal meaning of the poem, people who play chess concentrate on every piece and want to win. Especially in the master game, when victory is in sight, there will also be a situation of Jedi counter-killing, so you must be thoughtful and extra careful. In this game of chess, it is impossible to judge the outcome until the end, so it is said: "The winner or loss of a game is not true", and "the prediction is not true" means that it cannot be determined and cannot be seen through.
Only after watching the chess game can I know the final result, "Xiangpin Tea is still up to the end of the qūn patrol." "At the beginning of the game, incense was burned to make tea, and now the incense in the incense burner is almost out of taste, and the tea has been drunk, but the chess game is not over, and the "Shang Qian qūn patrol" is that the people who play chess are still thinking, undecided, and stagnant. Those who have the advantage want to sweep the wind and lock the victory, and those who are at a disadvantage want to turn the tide and survive.
The person who understands this truth is the person who understands chess, so whenever a master makes a move, you, who know chess, just come to watch it, will not ask "Who will win?" when you are in the endgame. If you want to ask, you just ask, "Who has the most advantage at the moment?" This is "the sign of the rise and fall of the present." In addition, there are often "the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear", and the ones who can answer the current situation are the "cold-eyed people" who arrived earlier than you.
This poem uses chess as a metaphor, "the winning or losing of a game is not true", to let readers understand that there are many reversals in "Dream of Red Mansions", there are many unexpected places, and there are many unexpected and unreasonable places, and they cannot draw conclusions at will. Life is the same, just like the "Okay Song Commentary" we discussed in the last episode, there are ups and downs and unpredictable changes.
The same is true of the rise and fall of the big families of feudal landlords and bureaucrats written in the text, and the success or failure of a certain political force or a certain political group in the internal struggle cannot be prematurely concluded. Jiafu, which started with military merits and went to prosperity, went through a hundred years, and it was the time when "the incense and tea were exhausted" and was in decline. Suddenly, because Jia Yuanchun sealed the concubine, she had the prosperity of "cooking oil with fire and brocade with flowers", the good times did not last long, and in a blink of an eye, she "committed suicide and self-destruction", and finally "the family died and everyone rushed to their own places".
When he first appeared, Jia Yucun was poor and destitute, and soon took the imperial examination to high school, became the eldest master, married a wife and concubine, and reorganized the family business. He was immediately dismissed from his post and became a tutor, and then befriended powerful people and was reinstated and promoted. When he wanted to go further, he "felt that the yarn hat was small, so he was shackled".
"Leng Zixing gave a speech on Rongguo Mansion", Jia Yucun and Leng Zixing had a dialogue between two smart people, and they could only discuss the "current signs of rise and fall", just like what was written in the text, "Today's Ning and Rong are also sparse, not as good as before". "Now there are many masters and servants, and there are many who are prosperous and honorable, and there is no one who plans and plans." "Now the outer shelf has not collapsed, but the inner bag has also come up." "Today's children and grandchildren are not as good as the next generation", which is the so-called "hundred-legged insects, dead but not stiff".
Zhen Shiyin has fifty taels of silver and two sets of winter clothes, how much will Jia Yucun pay back?
[Text: By the next day, Yucun had already sent two letters of silver and four brocades to thank the Zhen family's lady]
[Jiaxu side criticism: Yucun is already an obscene person, look at this, there is no one like Yucun today. 】
When Jia Yucun went to Beijing to take the exam, Zhen Shiyin gave fifty taels of silver and two sets of winter clothes. Now that Jia Yucun has sent back "two letters of silver and four brocades", how many taels of silver is a letter? It's complicated, and in terms of actual pragmatics and in other novels, the amount of "a piece of silver" is not the same.
Let's give a few examples, in the late Qing Dynasty condemnation novel "Negative Exposure Gossip", it is said that a letter of silver was opened, counted, and a full hundred taels.
The first volume of a long novel in the Qianlong period, "Yesu Exposed", describes: "I found a letter of silver in my bosom and said: 'This is sixty taels of silver, and it is sent to the Xianggong to be entangled. There is also a description of a letter of silver in "Yesu's Exposure" that is one hundred taels or ten taels.
There are many descriptions in "Embroidered Like a Golden Vase and Plum Words", "The History of Confucianism", "The Strange Status Quo Witnessed in Twenty Years", "The Biography of Children's Heroes" and "Rebirth Edge", and a letter of silver is fifty taels. In addition, there is a description of a letter of silver being thirty taels in "The Words of Embroidered Like a Golden Vase of Plums", and a description of ten taels of silver or one tael in "The Outer History of Confucianism".
In the collection of short vernacular novels "Zhaoshi Cup", a piece of silver is eight taels. In the novel "Gu Yu Yan" in the early years of Yongzheng, a piece of silver is five taels. In "The Surprise of the First Moment", a piece of silver is three taels.
It can be seen that "a piece of silver" is "a bag of silver", and the silver is wrapped in paper or cloth to make it easy to carry. This "bag" can be large or small, and the weight is not fixed, and it is completely up to the "person who packs it" to decide on a temporary basis according to the need. How many taels of silver is need to be calculated according to the context of the context.
Jia Yu Village also sent back "four brocades", the cloth has a ration, we start from here, and use the cloth to calculate how much silver Jia Yu Village sent back.
The silk and satin cloth of the Qing Dynasty had five zhang, three zhang and one zhang seven, a total of three length specifications. Under normal circumstances, one zhang seven can make one set of adult clothing, three zhang can make two sets of adult clothing, and five zhang can make three sets of semi-adult clothing. For winter clothes, there are two layers inside and outside, and the fabric used is twice as much as that of spring and summer clothes, so the three-zhang long cloth can only make one set of winter clothes.
When people with material conditions repay things, they like to use double the amount, which means double the repayment, and it also shows the sincerity and magnanimity of the repayer. Zhen Shiyin gave Jia Yucun "fifty taels of silver and two sets of winter clothes" back then, so he had to return four sets of winter clothes, that is, four brocades. The two letters of silver should be a hundred taels, fifty taels each.
The critic said that he had never seen such a lewd and disgusting benefactor as Jia Yucun, because Jia Yucun's reciprocation was fake, and it was true that he wanted to ask for Jiaoxing.
