Huiming: Who do you think about red beans? Editor's note of "A Detailed Story of Red Mansions": The song music of the 87 version of the TV series Dream of Red Mansions is based on Cao Xueqin's "Golden..."

"A Detailed Description of Red Mansions" Editor's Note: The song music of the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" was written by the famous composer Wang Liping based on the lyrics of "The Twelve Hairpins of Jinling" by Cao Xueqin. It took more than four years to write, among which "The Song of the Burial Flowers" took the musician almost two years. Its songs, performed by Chen Li, a music wizard, have almost become eternal songs in the hearts of fans. In order to recreate the beauty of the Red Mansions songs, the Tucson Huasheng Chorus in Arizona and the Confucius Institute at the University of Arizona jointly organized the 2013 Mid-Autumn Festival Concert of Dreams of Red Mansions (held on September 20 and September 21). Wang Liping and Chen Li will attend the concert, and Chen Li will also serve as the lead singer of the chorus. This is the first time Chen Li has performed the song of Red Mansions since the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" was aired in 1987. In view of the lack of understanding of the story of Dream of Red Mansions by overseas audiences, this column specially invites experts to introduce and comment on the story and characters of Red Mansions. We also hope that this will inspire more Chinese friends.

The poem "red beans" appears in the 28th chapter of Dream of Red Mansions. It is Baoyu's invitation to play and sing at an acquaintances' drinking party at a drinking party. Because of its euphemistic and sentimental meaning, it immediately attracted countless men and women who loved and were ready to love in later generations, and it greatly overshadowed the popularity of Hongdou's poems by Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty.

Naturally, if this word was recited in front of Daiyu, or given to any sister in the compound, the author would only be filled with envy and jealousy. Baoyu was originally a passionate king, and he was very good at courting his sisters. When the feeling came, it was not surprising that he would write a famous story. But after taking a closer look at the so-called drinking party, there were only four or five people. It seemed to be very different from Baoyu's previous circle of girls, with a very mixed crowd.

>Look at the initiator first. In current parlance, Feng Ziying is the "second generation official", and her father is Feng Tang, a contemporary Shenwu general. His special status determines that he knows everything about astronomy and geography, is a friend of all religions, is able to help others, and dares to get into fights and get himself bruised and swollen. He is the kind of expert who says, "I'll talk to President Xi about it, and you can take care of a division."

Look what kind of people he has brought to the drinking party. Ping'er, the first singer at the drinking party, was a prostitute. She sang three lines that were consistent with her profession, and she even flirted with Xue Pan at the party. Xue Pan, on the other hand, was an uneducated, lawless playboy who only cared about drinking and sex. The other one is Jiang Yuhan, an actor who specializes in Xiaodan. After singing a lot, she becomes infinitely charming and gentle in life, and has entered the role of a woman. Baoyu is a lover, so he doesn't care about fake women. As soon as they met, they held hands and were gentle, and even exchanged belts with each other. I don’t know what kind of ceremony the belt exchange was at the time, but Xiren later discovered that the belt given to Baoyu had been exchanged for that "bastard" and said, "I knew you were doing these things again." It must be a homosexual relationship or something like that.

After being wordy for a long time, the reader may have understood that Baoyu's famous red bean poem was sung in such an environment by playing the harp to a cow!

I don’t know this allusion, but as far as poetry is concerned, it is indeed a good literary talent. The word "emotion" is not in the poem, but it is everywhere:

"There are endless lovesickness and blood and tears throw red beans, and there are endless spring willows and spring flowers filling the painting building. I can't sleep well after the screen window is windy and rainy at dusk. I can't forget the new sorrows and the old sorrows. I can't swallow it. The jade grains filled the throat with golden waves, which could not be seen in the mirror. The brows that could not be spread were even more unclear: Ah! Just like the invisible green mountains, the flowing green water. "

But knowing this background, people have reason to be suspicious. Who would such a comfortable Baoyu be so entangled in the daughter's country?

What makes people even more suspicious is that the gentle young lady sang along with:

"I'm glad you are born with a charming personality. It's like a living god leaving the blue sky. He's still young. It's so clever to be paired with a phoenix. Look at the high sky, listen to the beating of drums in Qiao tower, and wear a mandarin duck with a silver lantern. "It's appropriate to say that a girl can do it, and it's appropriate to praise the jade.

After singing, he followed Baoyu out, holding hands tightly, exchanging belts and so on -

This Cao Xueqin has a lot of literary talent, so it is normal to borrow Baoyu's mouth to sing, but he also needs to find a good place, right? ! It made future generations suspicious: it just seemed that the green mountains that could not be covered were looming, and the green water was flowing continuously -

However, if you think about it, the flowers in "Red Bean Ci" also relied on this pile of cow dung to be so moist. If at a poetry competition among girls, the sharp-tongued girls keep asking: Who are your "new sorrows and old sorrows"? Who are you "brows that can't open" for? How can I bear the love of precious jade?
