Miscellaneous: Zhen Shiyin
[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, clothes, 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 a painting, compiled into a play, written, and 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.
