What are the names of Miss Jia's eight maids in A Dream of Red Mansions?

Mr. Zhou pointed out in the article "Eight Chapters in Four Springs" that each of Miss Jia's four housewives has two pretty maids, and they are divided into two parts, which are called elegance and elegance. However, in April and January, only the harp was played, and the other pair was hidden. Zhou Lao speculated that the deputy holding the piano could be named: Tips. Ge Guqin has a capsule to protect it.

However, Redmi, the moderator of the mourning forum, thinks it seems inappropriate to use the kit as the name of the maid. Inferring from the names of the other three deputies, the deputy holding the piano should be the work completed by the pianist. Its second word should have the meaning of sound, sound and music, or be a homophonic word.

As the three deputies of the Ming Dynasty: Embroidery Bureau (the homonym of embroidered oranges), Cui Mo and Cai Ping, their names were the result of playing chess, writing books and painting respectively, so the deputies who played the piano should also be the result of playing the piano. And it can be inferred from orange, ink and screen that this second word must be the name of the object; It can be inferred from embroidery, jade and color that the first word must describe color, and monochrome is preferred, which corresponds to "jade".

According to this inference, the deputy who plays the piano can be named Qingyun, and the homonym is Qingyun. The word "green" here is consistent with the word "Cui" of the servant girl. Green is green and emerald is dark blue. The word "cloud" coincides with the word "orange" embroidered by the servant girl. Yun is fragrant, and orange is Gan Guo. It should be good to take Qingyun as the maid's name, but the tone of clouds is different. From this, we can list the eight maids of Miss Jia's Fourth Lady as follows:

Miss Jia's family name is Maid and Assistant Maid (homophonic).

Yuan Chun, Bao Qin, Qing Yun and Qin Yun.

Spring Festival, chess, embroidered orange (embroidered bureau), chess.

Tanchun Waiting for a book ... Cui Mo ... calligraphy and ink.

. Xichun. Enter the painting ... color filter screen ... painting screen.

The four maids in the Jia family are Qingyun, Xiuju, Cui Mo and Cai Ping. The green color is single, while the embroidered color is multicolored, forming a color contrast. Yun Orange is a game of Gan Guo, coriander and homophonic rhyme, which refers to the chess game of Qin rhyme, while the ink screen is a painting screen of calligraphy and ink. The names of the four maids can be interpreted as: the musical rhyme of the clear moon, the wonderful chess game, the deep blue book trace and the colorful picture. Playing the piano gives a clear rhyme, playing chess gives an embroidery bureau, writing a book into emerald ink and painting it into a color screen. Qingyun embroidered orange and Cui Mo color screen.

In piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, calligraphy and painting belong to the same category, all have creative objects and all produce physical works. Therefore, the name of the servant girl is the object of painting and calligraphy (not the object of copying, but the object of creation), and Cui Mo and Color Screen are works of painting and calligraphy. On the other hand, Chyi Chin belongs to another category. Both of them have no creative objects, (playing the piano according to the piano score and playing chess according to the chess score are practice and learning, not artistic creation), and do not produce physical works. Relatively speaking, the quality of musical instruments used in Qin and chess is very important, so there are maids in charge of musical instruments to hold the Qin and play chess. The trick is to repeat it with the meaning of the piano. ) The abstract result of piano and chess creation must be transformed from homophonic characters into concrete objects, so there is the abstract result of homophonic: Qingyun Embroidery Bureau.

Finally, regarding the book waiting: many versions regard the book waiting as a servant, which is difficult to explain reasonably. The servant seems to be playing chess with a piano. ) is a mistake made by the latter. What's more, the homonym of "Shi" and "Si" in Bao Puzi Jin is extremely inappropriate. Finally, the results of version research also support the theory of waiting for books.
