Look at how this poem is written, the first couplet "Uncertain Three Life Wishes, Frequently Add a Period of Sorrow", "Three Lives" We have said in the previous episodes, the previous life, this life, the next life, the word "three lives" is often used to express loyal love, "Three Life Wishes" is the fate of the previous life and the previous life, this life and this life have become a husband and wife, and the next life and the next life will continue the desire to continue the marriage.

"Unpredictable Three Life Wishes", it is impossible to predict who can be married to someone, and then "frequently add a period of sorrow", and the word "sorrow" is used well, showing the contradictions and depression in Jia Yucun's heart. He looked forward to combining with Jiao Xing and wanted to pursue it, but he suspected that he was self-inflicted, and he was afraid that Jiao Xing would refuse, after all, he was too poor and the conditions were too poor now.

There are three situations in which men chase women: First, they have to spend money if they chase after each other. Emotionally and materially invested, it is easiest to succeed. Second, chasing recklessly, unwilling to spend money. If you are not willing to spend money, you have to spend a little, and you can succeed if you invest more emotionally and less materially. Third, poor, just this one word, there is no need to "chase". Jia Yucun is a snob, very realistic, can he not worry?

But, despite this, feelings are not something that can be swayed by reason. Jia Yucun felt unusually bored, like all people who fell in love, he lowered his forehead helplessly, but the scene of Jiao Xing's two turns back when he left in a hurry came to his mind. The first couplet writes that he "frequently adds a period of sorrow", and the jaw couplet writes about the person who adds sorrow to him.

Neck couplet "self-care in front of the wind, who can be under the moon", "俦" is the meaning of the partner, explain his situation, Jia Yucun only settled in the gourd temple at this time, homeless and unemployed, in tattered clothes, extremely shabby, ashamed of himself, Gu Ying self-pity! Before the wind and under the moon, the beauties should meet, and I and I fly with wings. Jia Yucun thought to himself that if I can't support myself under such conditions, who will take a fancy to me? Who would want to be my partner for life? Emotions are at a low point.

The tail couplet "If Toad Guang is intentional, go to the Jade Tower first", it is really "the silver bottle bursts through the water slurry, and the iron rider highlights the sound of swords and guns", with high-pitched emotions, full of hope and strength. In myths and legends, there are not only Chang'e, Jade Rabbit, Wu Gang, and Guishu in the Moon Palace, but also a three-legged toad, which is a toad, so the ancients said that the Moon Palace is the Toad Palace, so the toad light refers to the moonlight.

After the Tang Dynasty, he used "Toad Palace Zhegui" as a metaphor for the Jinshi in the imperial examination. The imperial examination is the best way out for scholars in feudal society, as long as they pass the examination and become an official, they will have everything, soaring, prosperous and rich, and crowned their wives and sons. Jia Yucun thought that he had the hope of becoming an official through hard study, and everything was simple, "there is Yan Ruyu in the book", so he swept away the haze in his chest, and "Toad Guangru intentionally" let him go to the imperial examination high school, so he "went to the Jade Building first", opened his mouth to confess, a maid had no reason to refuse him, and was also full of self-confidence and desire for a better future.

Judging from the text of "Dream of Red Mansions", Jia Yucun is still a person who values love, I mean love, he is absolutely okay with Jiao Xing. However, in order to seek officials, protect officials, and be promoted, he did not hesitate to betray his benefactor's daughter Zhen Yinglian, as well as the seizure of Jiafu, "The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit", except for Jiaoxing's first love, Jia Yucun's emotional world has no light. Writes a person who has no feelings as a heavy feeling

The jade seeks a good price in the scarcity, and the hairpin waits for the time to fly

[Text: Yucun Yin, because he thought about his life's ambitions, he didn't have the right time, but scratched his head and sighed to the sky, and re-chanted a couplet: Jade seeks a good price in Kuì, and the hairpin flies when he waits in the lián. 【Jiaxu side batch: Daiyu is followed by Baochai. Jiaxu clip batch: the former with two jade together, now with two treasures together, since the book is the right eye. 】

"Jade seeks a good price in the scarcity, and the hairpin flies when it waits in the coffin", and some versions are "The jade seeks a good price in the coffin, and the hairpin flies when it waits in the coffin", whether it is "scarce" or "椟" are cabinets or small boxes and small boxes used to hold valuables. This is the author's writing technique of "Ming Xiu Plank Road Secretly Crossing Chen Cang", which is literally understood as the exquisite jade is placed in the box and waits for people who know the goods to make a good price, and the delicate hairpin is also placed in the box and flies out of the box to show its beauty when the time comes.

Some students should ask, how can a hairpin fly if it is not a drone? Of course, most of the hairpins are made of gold and silver, jade, tortoiseshell, and pearls, and the gold hairpin, silver hairpin, and jade hairpin are common, and there are also poor people who use wattle to make the hairpin, the ancients were humble, and called their wives "clumsy jing", that is, the wife was born poor, and the hair was tied with wattle strips, so there was no culture, short-sightedness, and clumsiness. It can be seen that the lightest material of the hairpin is wood, and I admit that even if there were plastic products in ancient times, the hairpin itself could not fly! However, most of the hairpins are beautiful and flying animals such as phoenixes, peacocks, swallows, or dragonflies and butterflies. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with "the hairpin flies when it waits in the coffin".

This couplet hides an allusion that was known to all ancient readers, because this allusion is from the Analects and is a compulsory course. "Zigong said: 'There is a beautiful jade in Si, and Yun Zhen hides it? Seeking goodness and selling it? Zi said: "Sell! Sell! I'll treat Jia too. ’”

When Confucius traveled around the world and wanted to realize his political ideals, it was not that he had no opportunities at all, but that he wasted many opportunities. The apprentices didn't understand it, but Zigong respected the teacher, so he asked euphemistically: "A piece of beautiful jade, should it be hidden in the cabinet?" Or should I find a knowledgeable merchant and sell it? "The ancient gentleman wore jade, and the character of the gentleman was as firm and gentle as jade, so the gentleman was described as beautiful jade. Zigong compared Confucius to a piece of jade, and Confucius understood what he meant, so he told him: "Sell it, of course you have to sell it!" I'm waiting for someone to recognize the goods. Confucius clearly told his apprentices that he wanted to make a difference in his career, but on the one hand, he did not meet a wise monarch, on the other hand, the time was not right, good things could not be sold at a bad price, and he had to wait for the right price before selling, and if he was talented, he had to wait for the right opportunity to show it.

Jia Yucun recited "Jade seeks a good price in the scarcity, and the hairpin flies when he waits for the time" to express his ambition to enter the official career, Zhen Shiyin heard and understood, so in the later text, he praised Jia Yucun for having ideals and ambitions.

According to the comment, "Daiyu is followed by Baochai." Let's take a look at this couplet, the critic thinks that the author is clever, "jade" refers to Lin Daiyu, "hairpin" refers to Xue Baochai, the upper couplet "jade seeks a good price in the scarcity", and then the next couplet "hairpin waits for the time to fly". The "price" of the price we write now is a simplified Chinese character, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan use traditional Chinese characters, and the "Jia" character of Jia Yucun is added next to the single person, which is the "price" of the price, and the "Jia" of Jia Yucun in Chinese is a fake word with the "price" of the price, and the "price" of "jade seeks good price in the scarcity" can refer to Jia Yucun. "Hairpin Yu Yu waits for time to fly" is more transparent, the surname Jia is transformed into the word Shi Fei, alias Yucun. From this point of view, this couplet is hidden, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai are waiting for Jia Yucun's meaning. Isn't that right?

I think yes, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai are two very important characters in "A Dream of Red Mansions", and they need to use the clue character Jia Yucun to get on the big stage of "A Dream of Red Mansions", so they will "ask for a good price" and "wait for the time to fly". Needless to say, Lin Daiyu was her teacher, and personally escorted her into Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Yucun directly helped Lin Daiyu to the stage. Although Xue Baochai was not personally sent to Rongguo Mansion by Jia Yucun, Xue Pan killed Feng Yuan because of buying Xiangling, Jia Yucun curryed favor with the powerful and arbitrarily judged the case, so that the Xue family was able to live in Rongguo Mansion in peace. If Jia Yucun enforces the law impartially and issues a sea fishing document to arrest Xue Pan, Xue Baochai's mother and daughter must have worked hard to calm the turmoil, so Jia Yucun indirectly sent Xue Baochai to power.

Another comment said: "In the past, two jade were used together, and now two treasures are used together, which is the right eye in the book." "Because "Dream of Red Mansions" was copied and circulated by hand, and then printed and published, there are too many editions, and the criticism is not left by the same author in the same period, so there are also inconsistencies in the criticism.

According to this criticism, "jade seeks a good price in the scarcity, and the hairpin flies when it waits in the house", "jade" refers to Jia Baoyu, "hairpin" or Xue Baochai, Jia Baoyu waits for the price and sells, and does not meet Bole, who knows the goods, Jia Baoyu is not recognized by the society at that time. Xue Baochai just conforms to the world and is the standard lady of a big family in feudal society. "The former two jade joint biography" means the "wood and stone front alliance" we read earlier, the pearl fairy grass wants to repay the Shenying waiter with tears, that is, Zhen Shiyin heard a monk say in a dream "The myth of returning tears", and the two jade joint biography, that is, Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu's emotional entanglement, in front of Zhen Shiyin's dream has laid the foreshadowing. "Today's Erbao Combined Biography" means that Jia Yucun's couplet appears here, and "Erbao Hebiography", through Jia Yucun's mouth, also laid the groundwork for the emotional entanglement of Baoyu and Baochai.

"Jade seeks a good price in the scarcity", "scarcity" and "boudoir" of the "boudoir" homonym, Jia Baoyu "grabbed Zhou" when he was one year old, the things in the world in front of him, Jia Baoyu only grabbed the "fat powder hairpin ring", and secretly wrote that Jia Baoyu will only love the boudoir in the future, Jia Baoyu grew up a little "favorite to be mixed up in the inner curtains", and openly said that "the daughter is flesh and bone made of water, and the man is flesh and bone made of mud." When I saw my daughter, I was refreshed. When I saw the man, I felt that the turbidity was pressing. ”

If Jiafu is the epitome of filthy feudal society, Daguanyuan is undoubtedly a pure place and a paradise. The Grand View Garden is the reflection of the illusory realm in the world, and it is also a paradise for girls, and Jia Baoyu is even more in the boudoir. In the fifth episode, the police Phantom Fairy Gu gave Jia Baoyu two words - "obscenity", saying that these two words are by no means "skin lewdness", "but the heart will not be passed on orally, but it can be supernatural but not spoken." You have only these two words, and in the boudoir, you can be a good friend." This kind of treasure jade is a piece of jade hidden in the boudoir in the feudal era, a fighter with advanced thoughts, waiting for the price and selling, it is indeed "jade in the scarcity to seek a good price".

If Daiyu's life goal is to live romantically and purely for love, Lin Daiyu uses tears to repay debts and is a spiritual pursuit, then Baochai is to follow the world, pay attention to realistic utilitarianism, she knows how to be flexible, and "when to fly" is also appropriate for her.

Xue Baochai was originally going to enter the palace for the draft, of course, according to the strict draft system after Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, it is unlikely that she will not participate in the draft, even if she doesn't want to participate, she must participate. Xue Baochai's father died early, and his brother Xue Pan was unstable, and if he wanted to ensure that the Xue family continued to be rich and prosperous, he had to do everything possible to hug the emperor's thigh, which was a shortcut for her to contribute to the family. Therefore, Xue Baochai's cultivation is very good, she can suppress her emotions, and there is a heat in her mother's womb, so she takes "cold incense pills", defeats impulses with reason, is sleek and forbearing, understands righteousness, is steady and peaceful, obedient and considerate, diligent and simple, and a little indifferent. Xue Baochai's character is her own reaction to paying attention to reality and utilitarianism. The draft was unsuccessful, and she turned to "Golden Jade Relationship", isn't it just the camera that moves, waiting for the time to fly?

Some people also explained that "jade seeks a good price in the scarcity, and the hairpin waits for the time to fly in the palace" to mean that Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai hope to marry smoothly in the boudoir.

There are also people who interpret "jade seeks a good price in the scarcity, and the hairpin flies when he waits in the palace" to explain that after the destruction of Jiafu, Jia Baoyu suffered in the prison temple, and it was Jia Yucun who saved him, and Xue Baochai begged Jia Yucun to save Baoyu and became a concubine in Jia Yucun. Due to the fact that there are too many homophonic words in Chinese, and there are multiple meanings of the word, all kinds of explanations have their own merits, and it is inevitable that they will be far-fetched and conjecture out of thin air.

It took a round in the sky to come out, and all the surnames in the world looked up

Jia Yucun's poems and couplets opened his mouth and came to quatrains, and the author wrote Yucun's literary collection "thousands of dyes".

When the time comes, we will be reunited,

A handful of sunny jade guards.

It took a round in the sky to come out,

All the people in the world look up.

When it comes to reunion, [Jiaxu side batch: It is the opportunity to send it. ] Multiplication formula, 3515, the fifteenth day of each month is the night of the full moon, now it coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival, it should be a happy reunion, Jia Yucun is currently depressed, but when he saw the moon, he thought of "Toad Palace Laurel", thought of the future Feihuang Tengda, so it is said that "it is the opportunity to send a hair".

A handful of sunny jade guards. [Jiaxu side criticism: treacherous ambition, unconsciously revealed. A full moon sprinkles all the brilliance to the world, which is an expression of Confucianism to work hard, but does Jia Yucun really want to benefit the people? No, he stepped into the official career, one is not for the country, the other is not for the people, he is for himself to reorganize the family business, glory and wealth. Therefore, he sees that forgetting righteousness, clinging to the powerful, and bending the law for personal gain is the essence, and he uses what he has learned in his life to repay the society, love his name like a son, and benefit one party is a deceitful nonsense, a traitor!

It took a round in the sky to come out,

All the people in the world look up. [Jiazhu Mei criticism: This poem is not the original purpose, but if you want to get out of the rain village, you have to have it. Start with Mid-Autumn Festival poems, collect with Mid-Autumn Festival poems, and use the poetry club in autumn. The sigh is also three springs, but the three autumns are used as the key. These two sentences reveal Jia Yucun's ambitions and ambitions. He imagined that once he entered the imperial examination high school, entered the official career, and made a name for himself in the officialdom, the people would respect him and look up to him like the fifteenth moon.
