Evening makeup is about to stop, and the eyebrows are painted in the mirror.
The promise is clear, and the rain and the smoke are both invincible.

Don't teach the stars to replace, and the reunion will eventually come true.
Tonight in the red building, the sky and the earth are as sad.

The warm spring breeze blows the earth, and the spring in Beijing seems to be a little earlier than in previous years. The winter jasmine flowers on the street are blooming one after another, so that people can share the information of spring. Wintersweet flowers are in full bloom. In the March of the previous year, the master of Tuisixuan came to the Wintersweet Valley in Xiangshan to see the fragrance of wintersweet. Close contact, in March of this year, I heard that the wintersweet in Beijing Grand View Garden is unique. Today I came here specially to appreciate the wintersweet and feel the arrival of spring. s concern.

Hello, everyone! We meet again in Beijing Grand View Garden! Grand View Garden is located in the south city of Beijing. It is a good place for nearby people to walk and exercise, and it is also a good place for people who like The Dream of Red Mansions. If you have read the travel notes written by Master Tui Sixuan titled: "Lonely Fangs Don't Admire Their Own Fragrances, A Dream of Red Mansions" you will remember that we once met here. "A Dream of Red Mansions is Long" is its sister volume, I hope you will like it. All right! Let's get back to the main story, let's visit the Grand View Garden again, and relive the joy that Dream of the Red Chamber brings us together!

Master Tuisixuan took the No. 56 bus and got off at Daguanyuan Ximen Station. After getting off the bus, he went straight to "Longcui Temple", because only here can there be the legendary wintersweet.

【Address】No. 12, Nancaiyuan Street, Xicheng District, Beijing

[Ticket] 40 yuan, half price for the elderly and students.

[Bus] 122, 351, 395, 56, 59, 744, and other buses are available.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you like and are familiar with "A Dream of Red Mansions", you must know that there is a "Qicui Nunnery" in the Grand View Garden, and there is a proud and beautiful nun here, she is Miaoyu, in the nunnery where she lives There are several wintersweet plants in full bloom. Pushing open the heavy red door, I saw several ladies holding cameras and taking pictures seriously around the wintersweet plants.

As far as flowers are concerned, Master Tuisixuan is not familiar with them, and he can't tell the types of wintersweet. The wintersweet here is relatively small, and it is not like the wintersweet I have seen before. I saw these clusters of small wintersweet The heart of the wintersweet is bright red and bright red, oh! This is the legendary "red wintersweet"!

Seeing the wintersweet in front of him, Master Tui Sixuan wanted to use a sentence from the ancient Wang Shipeng's "Wintersweet" to describe it, "Tiangong intends to make it crispy, not to compete with Jiangmei for its snow-skinned skin."

Although Master Tuisixuan is not a literati, nor can he be regarded as an elegant scholar, he sincerely likes to read books, and likes to "reveal the nostalgia of ancient times". I remember that I visited the Grand View Garden last year, but at that time I only watched the "Dicui Pavilion" from a distance and didn't come here. This time, I deliberately observed this exquisite work in the Dream of Red Mansions at a close distance. I wonder if you still remember the story that happened in "Dicui Pavilion"?

Looking at the "Yihong Courtyard" from a distance, there is a pool of clear water, willows just showing yellow shoots, white walls and black tiles under the blue sky, it looks so peaceful and makes people feel very comfortable.

Walking into "Qiu Shuang Zhai", you will involuntarily think of the chapter "Min Tanchun assists Ningguo Mansion". Who would have thought that the third lady Tanchun in "Jinling Twelve Hairpins" ended up marrying a foreign country? destiny.

Master Tuisixuan came to "Zilingzhou" again, which is the residence of Jia Yingchun, one of the twelve beauties in Jinling. I saw the lonely windows in the room, the curtains on the screen, and the emerald green water chestnut outside the door, which is humorous and desolate. Here are the sights that I missed in my previous travelogue. (It was under renovation at the time) Here, we will naturally think of the tragic experience of the second lady, who is called "Er Mutou", who married a Zhongshan wolf by mistake in Yingchun, and also think of the famous saying "If you are a Zhongshan wolf, you will be wild if you succeed".

Walk into the "Red Mansion Culture and Art Museum"

"Story of the Stone" is a book that can never be understood and never finished. ——Master Tuisixuan

There is a "Red Mansions Culture and Art Museum" in the "Grand View Garden", where we can use words, pictures and other content introductions to understand the story of the Dream of Red Mansions in a simple way, and to explore the humanistic issues behind her.

"Ask Cao Gong" Where is the Garden of Grand View?

Cao Gongxueqin, who has worked for ten years, went through all kinds of hardships and finally became a red building. But where is the Grand View Garden @ written by Mr. Cao? And who is the blueprint for completing the immortal masterpiece "Dream of Red Mansions"? There have been different opinions for hundreds of years. Below we will share with you several versions of the Grand View Garden in the museum that have been passed down to the present.

【Prince Gong's Mansion Says】Located in Qianhaixi Street, Xicheng District, Beijing, it was originally the residence of Heshen, a power minister during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and later became the residence of Yonglin, the younger brother of Emperor Jiaqing. In the first year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty, Prince Gong Yixin, an important political figure in the late Qing Dynasty, became the third-generation owner of this place and changed its name to "Prince Gong's Mansion".

According to Mr. Zhou Ruchang, who has studied "Dream of Red Mansions" all his life, in the article "New Evidence of Dream of Red Mansions", "...the location is in this place in the northwest corner of the Forbidden City. In short, Cao Xueqin's garden has a model in his chest. According to the current clues, I suspect that Cao Xueqin’s old house is now the Girls’ College of Beijing Normal University. The history of this house is as follows: Cao’s House→Heshen’s Mansion→Qingwang’s Mansion→Gonggong’s Mansion→Fu Jen Catholic University Women’s Department→Normal University’s Women’s Department. "

[Suiyuan Theory] Suiyuan is said to be Wu Yingji’s Jiaoyuan in the late Ming Dynasty. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, it was part of the garden of Cao Yin’s family in Jiangning weaving. The Cao family was confiscated in the fifth year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (1727), and this garden was taken over by Jiangning weaving. Sui Hede, hence the name Sui Garden". Soon after, Sui Hede's home was ransacked. In the thirteenth year of Qianlong (1748), Yuan Mei bought this garden and lived here. He changed his name to "Suiyuan" and named himself Suiyuan elder". Suiyuan was destroyed in the third year of Xianfeng (1853), and now only the place name remains.

"Xueqin wrote a "Dream of Red Mansions" to record the prosperity of Fengyue. There is a so-called Grand View Garden in it, that is, Sui Garden." Yuan Mei said so in "Suiyuan Shihua" in the Qing Dynasty.

According to Mr. Hu Shi also said in the article "Research on the Dream of Red Mansions": "Yuan Mei said in "Suiyuan Shihua" that the Grand View Garden in "A Dream of Red Mansions" is his Suiyuan. fake."

[Jiangning Weaving House Saying] In the second year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1663), Cao Xiqin's great-grandfather Cao Xi was entrusted by Kangxi to take the first job in Jiangning Weaving. In the twenty-ninth year of Kangxi (1690), Cao Yin, the son of Cao Xi, took up the post of Suzhou weaving. In the thirty-first year of Kangxi (1692), he also took the post of Jiangning weaving, and then he was full-time Jiangning weaving. During Kangxi's six southern tours, except the first time he lived in Jiangning General's Office, the other five times he stayed in Jiangning Zhizao Mansion, and the last four times were taken over by Cao Yin. This is the heyday of the Cao family in Jinling.

Jiangning Weaving Mansion is the birthplace of Cao Xueqin, where he spent his childhood in the days of brocade clothes and the days when he was full of sweetness and fat. It is the source of "Dream of Red Mansions", and the Jiangning Weaving Mansion, which accompanies the rise and fall of this family, should be the root of the Grand View Garden in a sense.

[The Humble Administrator's Garden] The Humble Administrator's Garden is one of the four famous gardens in China. It is an outstanding representative of Jiangnan gardens and the largest classical landscape garden in Suzhou gardens. It is located in Northeast Street, Suzhou.

In the fourth year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty (1509 people), Wang Xianchen, the censor who returned to his hometown due to frustration in his official career, expanded and built a garden on the site of Dahong Temple, which was taken from Pan Yue's "Ode to Leisurely Residence" in the Jin Dynasty, "gardening the garden and cooking vegetables for daily meals. , this is also how the clumsy governs." Meaning, it is called "Humble Administrator's Garden". After Wang Xianchen died, his son lost the entire garden in a night of gamble. Over the past 500 years, the Humble Administrator's Garden has changed owners several times. It was either a private garden, a government office, or a scattered residence.

In the twenty-ninth year of Kangxi (1690), when Cao Xueqin’s grandfather Cao Yin was in charge of weaving in Suzhou, the Humble Administrator’s Garden was scattered as residential buildings. Cao Yin bought a small part of the Humble Administrator’s Garden for his family to live in. It is said that Cao Xueqin often stayed with his family when he was young. When staying in Suzhou for a while, the magnificent Humble Administrator's Garden and the Grand View Garden, which has all the scenery in the world and the sky, may really have an unclear relationship.

[Shuixizhuang said] Shuixizhuang is a private garden covering an area of ​​100 acres on the bank of the South Canal in Tianjin. It was built in the first year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (1723). It was originally a garden villa built by Tianjin giant businessman Zha Rigan, and Zha Weiren's father and son. It flourished in the Qianlong period and was one of the three major private gardens in the Qing Dynasty. Qianlong once stayed in Shuixizhuang, and named it "Mustard Garden". During the Daoguang period, the garden gradually declined, and it was destroyed by war after Gengzi. It is reported that both the Cao family and the Cha family were once prominent and had close contacts. In the fifth year of Yongzheng (1727), the Cao family was confiscated, and the young Cao Xueqin went to Beijing with his family. Because of the unpredictable good and bad at that time, the family entrusted Cao Xueqin to the Cha family of Shuixizhuang, and Cao Xueqin took refuge in Shuixizhuang.” If this theory is true, Shuixizhuang, which has a prosperous and scenic spot, should have the shadow of Grand View Garden.

"Second Question Cao Gong" The Fate of the Twelve Gold Hairpins

In the "Dream of Red Mansions" written by Cao Gong, the twelve beauties of Jinling are described in several words, which truly portray the characters with flesh and blood. Whenever we read these words, we seem to see lifelike characters appearing in front of us. Today we come here, and here we use pictures to restore the characters in Cao Gong's pen. We don't know whether these characters are what Cao Gong thought in his heart....

[Jia Yuanchun] "In the past twenty years, right and wrong have been distinguished, and durian flowers are blooming to illuminate the palace. Three springs compete for the early spring scene, and tigers meet and return with a big dream."

[Hate impermanence]: It's just right to be happy with Ronghua, but hate impermanence again. Open your eyes and throw everything away. Swinging leisurely, the soul is consumed. Looking at my hometown, the road is far away and the mountains are high. So I told my parents in my dream: my son's life has already fallen into hell, family relationship, I need to step back and get out early!

[Shi Xiangyun] "What's the point of being rich and honored? Parents disobeyed when they were babies. When you look at the slanting light, the Xiangjiang River passes away and Chu Yunfei."

[Happiness and Sadness] When I was a baby, my parents sighed and died. Living in that Qi Luo Cong, who knows how to be pampered? Fortunately, Yinghao was born generous and magnanimous, and never cared about his children's personal love. It's like, Ji Yueguang shines on Yutang. The servant is worthy of the talent and appearance of the fairy, and wins the eternal love. It must be folded into the bumpy shape of childhood. In the end, the clouds scattered in Gaotang, and the water dried up in the Xiangjiang River. This is the ups and downs in the world, so why bother to be sad?

[Jia Yingchun] "The child is a Zhongshan wolf, and if he succeeds, he will be rampant. The quality of the golden boudoir willow will go to Huangliang."

[Hi Huanjia]: Zhongshan Wolf, a ruthless beast. Don't think about the root cause of the day. Blindly, extravagant, lustful and lustful. Looking at it, Hou Men's beauty is the same as that of Pu Liu. Those who practice it, the daughter of the government seems to be dirty. Sighing the beautiful soul of Fang Fang, wandering for a long time.

[Qin Keqing] "Love is the sky, the sea, the body, the love is the meeting, and you will be the master of adultery. All the unscrupulous words will be honored, and the beginning of the quarrel is really safe."

〔Good things end〕: The painting Liangchun is full of fragrance and dust. Being good at style and looking like the moon is the root of a prodigal. If the Jiqiu is fallen, everyone respects it, and if the family affairs perish, the first crime is better. The evil is always due to love.

【Xue Baochai】"Glittering Snow in the Mountains"

[Lifetime Mistake]: The Tao is a golden and jade marriage, I only think of the former alliance of wood and stone. Facing the sky, the snow in the mountains is shining brightly; in the end, I will never forget, the lonely forest in the fairyland outside the world. Sigh in the world, a fly in the ointment is not enough to believe in it now; even if it is raised eyebrows, it is hard to agree. Even if it is ruthless, it is also touching.

【Lin Daiyu】"The Lonely Forest of the Fairyland"

[Wang Ning Mei]: Two curved eyebrows that seem to be frowning but not frowning, and a pair of eyes that seem to be happy but not happy. Two dimples are born in the state of worry, and the disease of being delicate is attacked all over the body. Tears dripped, panting slightly. Quietness is like a delicate flower shining in the water, and action is like a weak willow supporting the wind. The heart has one more opening than the stem, and the disease is like Xishi, which is three points better.

[Jia Tanchun] "Talent is smart, bright, and high-minded. Born in the future, luck tends to fade away. Qingming's tears are sent to the riverside, and thousands of miles of east wind are a dream away."

[Separate the flesh and blood]: Three thousand journeys in a single sail and wind and rain, let the flesh and blood home, come and throw away together. Fear of crying for the disabled years. Tell your parents, don't worry about your children; since ancient times, poverty and communication have been fixed, so is there no chance for separation and reunion? From now on, it will be divided into two places, and each will be safe. Slave to go, don't get involved.

[Miaoyu] "If you want to clean He Zengjie, the clouds may not be empty. The poor quality of gold and jade will eventually sink into the mud."

[The world is hard to tolerate]: The temperament is as beautiful as orchids, and the talent is more powerful than immortals. It is rare to be born lonely. You say that you eat meat and fishy mutton, and you despise it as vulgar, but you don't know how to be tall and jealous, and to live in a clean world is the same. It's a pity that the people in the Qingdeng Ancient Palace will grow old and let them down, and the pink and red buildings will be full of spring! In the end, it is still dirty and dirty against my wish. It seems that there is no time for the white jade to be trapped in the mud, so why not, Mr. Wang and grandson lamented that there was no chance.

[Jia Xichun] "It has been discovered that the three springs are not long, and the black clothes have been changed from the old makeup. Poor embroidered house girl, lying alone next to the ancient Buddha with the blue lamp."

[Xu Hua Wu]: If you see through those three springs, what about the peach blossoms and willows and greens? Destroy this shaohua and find that light and natural harmony. What do you say that the sky is full of peaches, and there are many apricots in the clouds? In the end, who would have survived the autumn? Then look at that, the people in Baiyang Village are sobbing, and the ghosts are singing under the Qingfeng Forest. What's more, the tomb is covered with decaying grass all over the sky, that is, the poor yesterday and today's rich are toiling, and the spring is prosperous and the autumn is withering flowers. Like this, who can hide at the moment of life and death? It is said that the precious tree in the west is whirling, with long-lived fruits on it.

【Wang Xifeng】"All birds come from the end of the world, and they all know that they love the talents of this life. One from two orders three people to die, crying to Jinling is even more sad."

[Smart and Tired]: The organ is too clever to calculate, and it has missed Qingqing's life! The heart is broken in life, and the sex is ethereal after death. Ning, a wealthy family, finally has a family, and the dead are scattered. In vain to hang my mind for half a lifetime, it's like a dream in the middle of the night. All of a sudden, it seemed like a building was falling, and it was dire like a lamp that was about to run out. ah! A moment of joy and sorrow, lamenting the world, the end is uncertain!

[Li Wan] "Peaches and plums are like a pot of orchids at the end of the spring breeze. It's like ice water and jealousy. It's useless to make jokes with others."

[Lan Shaohua]: The kindness in the mirror is even more comparable to the fame in the dream! Where did the beautiful youth go! Stop mentioning the mandarin quilt for the embroidered tent. Just wearing a beaded crown and a phoenix jacket is not worth the life of impermanence. Although it is true, life should not suffer from old age and poverty, but also need to accumulate children and grandchildren. High-spirited, wearing a hairpin tassel on his head, shining brightly, with a golden seal hanging on his chest, magnificent, Juelu Gaodeng, -- dizzy and miserable, the road to Huangquan is near! Ask if the generals in ancient times can still survive? It's just a false name and respected by future generations.

[Qiaojie] "When the situation is defeated, Yunnan and Guizhou will be destroyed, and the family will die without relatives. Occasionally, because of helping the Liu family, I have a chance to meet a nobleman."

〔Liu Yuqing〕: To stay in Yuqing, to stay in Yuqing, to meet a benefactor suddenly. Lucky mother, lucky mother, accumulated merits. Advise life, help the poor and help the poor. Don't be like my ruthless uncle who loves money and forgets flesh and blood! It is multiplication, division, addition and subtraction, and there is a sky above.

[Note 2]: Except for the last one, the above pictures are all from the Red Mansion Culture and Art Museum. The above text descriptions are all from the Internet and are only used for the introduction of the pictures. They may not fully meet the original intention of Mr. Cao Gongxueqin, please do not check the number sit down.

"Three Questions to Cao Gong" When will the dream of the Red Mansion wake up?

Ladies and gentlemen, "Dream of Red Mansions" is an immortal world famous work. For those who like "Dream of Red Mansions", they should not only continue to write "Dream of Red Mansions" and paint the characters in "Dream of Red Mansions", but also use jade to paint and show people The story in the Dream of Red Mansions, what we see below is the painting carefully crafted by the author with Xinjiang jade.

This is a panorama of "Story of the Stone". Tui Sixuan only took part of it due to limited conditions.

[Jia Yucun's prodigal lady]

[Jia Yucun teaches Lin Daiyu]

【Qin Jingqing met Jia Baoyu on his way】

【Qin Keqing dies and seals the dragon ban】

【The monks and Taoists on Qinggeng Peak talk about stubborn stones】

【end】

"The paper is full of absurd words, full of bitter tears. It is said that the author is crazy, who can explain the meaning?" Cao Gongxueqin wrote "Dream of Red Mansions" after hundreds of years, who can say that he really understands "Dream of Red Mansions"? But the more This is the case, the more it arouses people's interest. Recently, Master Tuisixuan saw such a news on the Internet, saying that the statues in the Grand View Garden are scary. I think it is really alarmist! It has been 30 years since the Grand View Garden was built, and the level of sculptures at that time could not be compared with today. , this is just a meaning, there is no need to talk about it at all, but, as far as the ticket price is concerned, the ticket price of 40 yuan is not cheap in Beijing!

Recommended hotel accommodation in Beijing: Unnamed Courtyard Hotel


Comments: It’s a joy to revisit the old place! In the summer vacation of 2012, I took my children to travel to Beijing and stayed in Weiming, an official residence courtyard. The theme of ancient musical instruments was loved by the whole family. The stay is comfortable, the breakfast is simple but exquisite and warm, it is the taste of home made by the hotel aunt. In 2019, I accompanied my child who was already in the third year of high school to Beijing for the exam and stayed again. The son couldn't help but play the piano, wandering around the living room, looking for every memory. It is still so comfortable and warm, with an added festive and peaceful atmosphere of the Spring Festival that has not faded. Breakfast is still the taste of home, with more choices. The location is quite good, our son is getting older, we shuttled through the alleys, and walked to Nanguluo Lane, Houhai, and the subway entrance are very convenient. If you come to Beijing in the future, you will only choose this hotel!
