Speaking of Cao Xueqin, I believe everyone is familiar with it. He is the author of "A Dream of Red Mansions", one of my country's four great classics. Cao Xueqin lived during the period from Emperor Yongzheng to Emperor Qianlong. This period was the most severe period of the Qing Dynasty’s feudal cultural autocratic rule. In order to maintain their dominance, the two emperors Yongzheng and Qianlong launched literary prisons and carried out bloody suppression and massacre of some scholars.
"A Dream of Red Mansions" created by Cao Xueqin is a masterpiece that reveals the dark reality. In order for his painstaking work to come out smoothly, Cao Xueqin used complicated and confusing expression techniques. Although the story in the book looks very It is absurd and poignant, but it is also a true portrayal of the era in which Cao Xueqin lived.
The naming of certain characters in Dream of Red Mansions also implies Cao Xueqin’s careful design and also represents some profound meanings. For example, Zhen Shiyin corresponds to Zhen Shiyin, Zhen Yinglian corresponds to Zhen Ying Lian, and Bu Shiren corresponds to Not a Human. Yuan Ying sighed to Yuan Ying when he visited the four sisters. The fate of the four of them was more miserable than the last.
Using homophones to name characters is a special way of expressing the character's character and destiny. As the hero of Dream of Red Mansions, Cao Xueqin spent more effort in naming Jia Baoyu.
Compared with other men in Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Zhu, Jia Huan, and Jia Rong, Jia Baoyu's name is three characters, not similar to "Jia Lian" etc. A person's clan name.
Now that Mrs. Wang said this, I knew it was this cousin she was talking about. Because he laughed and said, "Auntie is talking about this brother born from Xianyu? When I was at home, I heard my mother often say that this brother is one year older than me, and his nickname is Baoyu. Although he is very naive, he said The relationship between sisters is excellent. Now that I am here, I will naturally only live with my sisters. The brothers are in another house, so how can I mess with them?"
From Lin Daiyu's words. , we can learn that "Baoyu" is just a nickname. In addition, there are many descriptions in "A Dream of Red Mansions" that mention "Baoyu" as a nickname.
For example, in Chapter 16, Qin Zhong said, "To be honest, he is the grandson of Duke Rong, nicknamed Baoyu." In Chapter 52 of the book, She Yue and Zhui'er What my mother said during the argument was that it turns out that the nickname "Baoyu" can be used by anyone.
Since "Jia Baoyu" is a nickname, what is his big name? You will understand if you read it together with Jia Lian, Jia Zhu, and Jia Huan.
According to the naming rules of the Jia clan in "A Dream of Red Mansions", the names of men of Jia Baoyu's generation all have the word "king" next to them, such as Jia Zhen, Jia Zhu, and Jia Huan, so we can infer that Jia Baoyu's name should also have the word "王" next to it, and it must be a single character, that is, "Jia Mou".
So, what is Jia Baoyu’s name?
Some people say that Jia Baoyu’s name should be Jia Ying, because he was a waiter of Shenying in his previous life. Xiao Leng said this I disagree, "A Dream of Red Mansions" mainly talks about the affairs of this world, mainly about the love-hate entanglement between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu - the "Two Jade".
As we all know, Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu had the same mind, but in the end they did not get together, which is equivalent to two pieces of jade not coming together.
Therefore, Xiao Leng speculated that Jia Baoyu's name was "Jia Jue", and "Jue" means "two pieces of jade together", so "Jia Jue" is "fake" Together”.
In addition, according to the homophony of "original sigh", the names of the four brothers Jia Zhen, Jia Jue (Jia Baoyu), Jia Zhu and Jia Huan also have homophony when pronounced together. The homophony of Zhu Lian Jue Huan is "The implicated officials must be implicated."
The combination of these four words also predicts the final fate of the men in Jia's family. They are all implicated.
In addition, when Cao Xueqin’s home was ransacked, was it also because he was implicated? Was Cao Xueqin using the “implication ring” to avenge the Cao family? What do you think?
