Beijing Notes

Published: April 16, 2006 Edit:
  This is already my fourth year of staying in Beijing. Compared with a native Beijinger, it may be nothing at all, but for me, I have accumulated bits and pieces of impressions about this city—journals of Beijing through the eyes of a lazy drunkard.

I am an alcoholic obsessed with music and wine, but I have a fondness for traditional Chinese culture. A lazy person is therefore willing to wander around the corners of this city in my leisure time. However, I am not a travel enthusiast, so I have never been to the Old Summer Palace or the Summer Palace. I had been to the Forbidden City before. It was because of my fondness for the prosperous period of Kangxi and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, and it was also mixed with the influence of some popular Qing Palace movies. However, after tens of thousands of people came to make the pilgrimage, I found that the empty hall and square could not be easily filled by hundreds of thousands of Manchu Qingqi. Behind the splendid reign of the world, there was only trembling obedience, and what they conquered was only the long lock of hair on the forehead. As for the previous Zhu family dynasty, all that was left was the bitterness of being castrated.

When I opened "Dream of Red Mansions" when I was young, I naturally didn't realize its taste, but I was quite envious of the prosperity and luxury of the Grand View Garden. When he first arrived in the capital, he invited his new roommate, who had nothing to do, to go to the Grand View Garden in Beijing. After changing buses three or four times, I finally arrived at Nancaiyuan. The Tongwa Loach Ridge gate finally felt like this. I was delighted and bought a ticket to go in. Only then did I lament Cao Xueqin’s writing power: The artistic conception of literature can never be expressed in kind. The small rocks and ditches in front of us are hardly consistent with the winding paths and clear streams of the Grand View Garden created by heaven. Fortunately, I am no longer in the state of mind I had when I was a child, where I can just pretend to be false and pretend to be true, and look for what is written on the stone. I discussed it with my roommate who was sleeping next to me, but found out that the only thing known about him was the high w88 casino drama "Lin Daiyu Enters the Jia Mansion". For a while, Quan acted as a tour guide and pointed out a few sights: this was the place where the children enjoyed barbecue delicacies in winter, and this was where everyone held a crab feast... and so on, but I didn't feel something strange in my stomach. A pond of lotus leaves is just green in the water, and the towers are still the same. The splendor in "A Dream of Red Mansions" has long since ended, and the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong has ended since its beginning, just like in "The Peach Blossom Fan" That line: "I once saw the orioles in the Jade Palace of Jinling crow at dawn, and the flowers on the Qinhuai Water Pavilion bloomed early, but who knew how easy it would be for the ice to disappear. I watched him build the Zhulou, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his tower collapse..." Cao Xueqin was not the only one to fall. After wrapping the sentiment, the song "Picking Mulberries" by the royal nobleman Nalan also expresses sorrow: "Whoever plays the desolate song of Yuefu, the wind is also rustling, the rain is also rustling, and the lights are exhausted for another night. I don't know what is lingering. In my arms, sleeping is boring, being drunk is boring, and I have never been to Xieqiao in my dreams." Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the provincial villa, I felt majestic and majestic. The four words "Gu Ensiyi" were still there. I should know that "it is the way of heaven to retreat after my success." The inaction of the old people in the pre-Qin Dynasty, the desolation of the gentry in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the Tang and Song Dynasties all reflected the shortness of life and the impermanence of things. The development of Chinese civilization has caused theology and witchcraft to withdraw from history prematurely. Religion has not yet become a phenomenon, and faith is self-set under the premise of humanism. The way of heaven and man creates the coexistence of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, giving people in different situations choices. The difference is only in the state of mind, and the so-called fame has finally become empty in Ning Rong's illusion.

After all, the Grand View Garden was made up by later generations based on novels, so it is not accurate. However, when I was a freshman, I studied red studies diligently and read a lot of Zhou Ruchang's books. I was so addicted that I thought of going to the back garden of Prince Gong's Mansion to find the real Dream of Red Mansions. compareweekThe teacher said that looking for traces of history bit by bit, I have jumped out of the Taixu story and fallen into real sentimentality. From the original form of Prince Gong’s Mansion in the Grand View Garden to the real jade behind Jia Baoyu, not to mention the imagination of Gao Yang’s "Dream of Red Mansions", the study of several versions of Dream of Red Mansions has almost made people want to cry - Zhi Yanzhai's word-for-word comments are more capable of creating endless regrets and beauty than literature itself. The clues to the incomplete story have been cleared up, and the Index w88 casino can follow suit and continue the story. It will definitely be better than Cheng Gao's fake version; but the emotions between Zhi Qin are real. In the book, Bao Dai always says that I know you in my heart but you don't know in your heart that I am entangled. Outside the book, Zhi Yanzhai is not only familiar with what Xue Qin wrote, but only the past events are vivid, so the reading of the book is different from others. "Only those who can understand it will shed tears of sadness and cry to write this book. On Renwu New Year's Eve, before the book was completed, Qin passed away because of all the tears..." So it was difficult to suppress: "From now on, I only hope that the Creator will come out with a celery and a fat, which is the book. The other two will also happily follow the Jiuquan." Implicit and meaningful. Love is highly praised by Chinese culture, "It begins with emotion and ends with etiquette." It is undeniable that spiritual communication is a kind of artistic love, just like "In the Mood for Love"; and the heartfelt words of the unidentified Zhi Yanzhai Yu Qin after his death are the most expressive expression of true love. Out of "A Dream of Red Mansions", the exquisiteness of Prince Gong's Mansion is inseparable from He Shen. The different windows of the treasure house show off the most essential kitsch and practicality behind a work of art, just like the "best blessing in the world" pressed under the rockery is a sweet dream that is afraid of losing wealth. "A box full of gold, a box full of silver, a beggar with an open mind will be slandered by everyone." Even wealthy businessmen in the world cannot escape the fate of being ruined and ending up with Bai Ling hanged to death. The flowing wine in Qubeiting has been drunk for hundreds or thousands of years. There is always a cold breeze after waking up, which makes you stand clearly in the long river of history and think about what to pursue and what to give up.
