A novel about solar terms

In the novel A Dream of Red Mansions, the author always uses festivals to describe extravagant scenes. Unexpectedly, however, in the eleventh chapter of "Celebrating Birthday, Giving a Family Banquet in Ningfu, Watching Xifeng Jia Rui Lust", only one "Winter Solstice Day" was mentioned, but around the events after the Winter Solstice Day, the order of events was strictly arranged, and the events were terminated, which covered up a lot of chaotic time. What the hell is this?

First, read the novel about "Winter Solstice Day": "November 30th this year is the Winter Solstice Day" (Dream of Red MansionsNo. 1 1 "Celebrating the birthday, having a family dinner at Ningfu, watching Xifeng Jia Rui being lewd").

At the beginning of the novel, it is said that "the dynasty years are related to the country, but there is no test". It is explained that there is no specific time and place in the novel, but "this year", a clear direction and a solar term are used here to express the particularity of this year, that is, "1 1 winter solstice on the 30th of the month", which is very enlightening. It turns out that the author said "Chao" and "no exam", but there is no money here, because there are one hundred and twenty.

We limit the upper limit to 1600 and the lower limit to 20 15. From the 28th year of Wanli to the present 4 15 years, only seven were delivered to Japan on November 30th. Unfortunately, during the more than 260 years of the Qing Dynasty, there was only one "year", which was 1865438+.

In the eighteenth year of Jiaqing, A Dream of Red Mansions was just published, and it has been more than twenty years. A Dream of Red Mansions has entered an era known to all women and children, and has nothing to do with writing.

Therefore, it must be traced back at least to the last "1/winter solstice on the 30th of the month", and the last "this year" was1642 65438+February 2 1, that is, the fifteenth year of Chongzhen 1 1 March 30.

In this way, the background of the novel story finds the origin of the coordinates. Let's look at the author's strict chronological content:

First, the story of Jia Rui and Wang Xifeng begins with 1642. Today, I found the acacia bureau again, and the text wrote back to the twelfth time:

From then on, all I could think about was Xifeng, but I was afraid to go to Fu Rong. Jia Rong and his wife often come to ask for money. He is afraid that his grandfather will still find it difficult to ban acacia and add more debts. I am nervous at work during the day, and I am in my twenties. I am not married yet. Recently, when he thinks of Xi- Feng, he may accuse him of fatigue and other things. What's more, I ran twice in cold and annoyance, so I was attacked three or five times, and I felt a disease: impetuous, tasteless, my feet were like cotton, my eyes were like vinegar, I was hot at night, I was often tired during the day, even my sperm drowned, and my cough was bloody. In less than a year, all these symptoms have been added, and I can't hold on. I fell asleep, closed my eyes, and my dream was upside down. I was full of nonsense and was shocked. I seek medical treatment in many ways, such as cinnamon, aconite, turtle shell, Ophiopogon japonicus, Polygonatum odoratum and so on. And I took dozens of pounds, but nothing happened.

Yes 1643, at least in autumn, all kinds of problems "increased in less than a year". The story of further development is that the illness is more serious because of a sudden cold. As busy as I am, it's no use seeking medical advice everywhere. After eating "Shen Du soup", Dai Ru had to go to Fu Rong to learn how he possessed this power. Mrs. Wang asked Xi-feng to weigh two pieces of silver. Xi-feng said, "The old lady took medicine recently. The old lady said to keep it for Mrs. Yang Zhifu. I sent it yesterday." Madam Wang said, "Even if we don't have it here, you can send someone to ask your mother-in-law, or you can find some more from your precious brother's house and give them to others. Eating well and saving a life are also your benefits.

Here, the author of "Shu and La Jin Chun Hui" makes a silent understatement, focusing the whole story on the spring of 1644 like a movie, and throwing ink on the death and mourning.

So the whole story of A Dream of Red Mansions is set after the spring of 1644, that is, after Qin Keqing was hanged. From a historical point of view, the story of the novel was originally set as the stage of the great era from the spring of 1644, and the characters and storylines displayed in the novel completely abandoned the story of the Qianlong period of the mainstream dream of red mansions, which was a hundred years later, which the author could not think of.
