Nalanxingde First of all, Nalanxingde and Cao Xueqin's grandfather Cao Yin entered the Forbidden City, both of whom were ouchi guards. According to the test, this kind of colleague relationship may be unusual. They are all very literary. One is that Manchu successfully joined the mainstream culture of the Central Plains through hard work. The other is the ancestral family style, which brings mature Chinese studies into the flag book. Achieve the same goal from two different angles, and strive to integrate Manchu and Chinese cultures. What can best testify now is the poetic communication between Cao Yin, who was weaving in Jiangning at that time, and Nalan Xingde, who was stationed in the weaving department during Kangxi's southern tour.
Nalan Nalan's poem "Man Jiang Hong inscribed for Cao Ziqing the Neem Pavilion built by ancestors of Jinling clan":
Born in Pingyang, Nalan envied the fame of Ye.
NaLanJun didn't see the mountain dragon to make up for it. He was in charge in the past.
Nalan drank the water from Shicheng and moved to the edge tree of Yanziji.
Na Lanqian made a stem of Melia azedarach into three towers and went to court.
Na Lanyue, Cheng Chenlu.
He looked at his hand and admired it deeply.
He is more talented, more talented.
When Nalan fell asleep, he drew a picture, wrote it out, left a topic, and gave him a sarong to protect him. He is looking forward to black clothes in Qing Zi, and he won't come to dusk.
In addition, Nalan Xingde also wrote Cao's Tree Planting.
Nalan is the emperor's trusted minister, and Nalan is the bridge between the emperor and cultural figures. Cao Yin was an emissary of opening Jiangnan to the outside world, and served as an official, supervising the actions of Jiangnan literati to win talents for the court. Their roles are different, but their purpose and destination are the same. They were both leaders and assistants in the cultural rule of the Qing Dynasty. This is the same role they play in ideology and the similarity in cultural function.
Nalan Furthermore, Nalan family and Cao Shi family are both feudal bureaucratic families. The dragon entered the customs, made meritorious deeds, and inherited the official title from generation to generation. It is the home of fame and fortune, and it is also the home of fancy. Nalan family is not only a Taoist orthodox Manchu aristocrat, but also has a complex and overlapping blood relationship with the dynasty. Cao Jiazu was an officer stationed in Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, and later changed to the Qing Dynasty. He is a vassal of the empire. Cao Yin's biological mother is Kangxi's wet nurse and the emperor's attendant (classmate). Cao Xueqin's sister is the son of Prince Li and the princess of Naersu, the king of Pingjun County. Cao family inherited Jiangning weaving for 60 or 70 years. In particular, don't forget that Nalan Xingde, Cao Yin and Emperor Kangxi are all young subjects of similar age who "played together".
Nalan and Cao Shi have many similarities not only in dynasty relations, but also in family history. Their ancestors were veterans who entered the customs, and they made a fortune after setting up a platform for China in the Qing Dynasty. Both families have certain cultural traditions and pay attention to cultural construction. Pearl is a supporter of Manchu-Chinese cultural integration policy, and led and edited a number of great books in the early Qing Dynasty. He tried his best to study and develop his children's culture. Among the children and grandchildren are the famous poet Nalan Xingde, a bachelor of imperial academy, and grandson Fogg likes reading and is good at collecting books. On the other hand, Cao Jiazu was a guerrilla artillery instructor stationed in Liaoyang in the Ming Dynasty. Later, Cao Jiazi and his grandson were outstanding literary talents and were willing to make friends with officials who were famous in the world. Although their ancestors were all military commanders, in the process of culture and in the overall situation of perfecting cultural rule, they complied with this trend earlier and completed this transformation. Poems and books are handed down from family to family, and Chongwen pays great attention to ceremony. Both of them have the brilliance of "cooking oil brings fire, flowers bring brocade", and they are both "poetry, calligraphy and painting families". However, they all suffered from dismissal and seizure of property. Loss is loss, and glory is glory. The political struggle of a feudal dynasty and the rise and fall of a family were all interpreted so vividly and vividly.
The political changes of Nalan dynasty deeply affected the fate of their family. The development of contradictions within their families and the indifference of their family situation are also the epitome and reflection of the rise and fall of the dynasty. They influence each other and observe each other. Like most feudal officials, Pearl, because of her growing power, repeated the punishments of controlling state affairs, cheating on official duties, taking bribes and perverting the law, being disintegrated by the imperial censor and being dismissed from office and confiscated. His mansion was occupied by another courtier, Ju Qian and Kun, and he took it for himself. However, Cao Jiahe was accused of misappropriating assets for nearly a hundred years, and was removed from office and confiscated when there was a deficit. His knitting work was replaced by another corrupt official named Sui Hede. This kind of Chen Xiangyin is not good for evil, but the ruling group.
The result of internal struggle. Both of them were involved in the court power struggle consciously or unconsciously, belonging to the Huangbazi and Huangjiuzi groups. Pai Xu, the eldest brother of Nalan Xingde, was demoted because he mentioned "Eight Elder Brothers" again on the issue of establishing a protected area. Yongzheng was even more unsatisfactory in managing political enemies, and the deceased was spared. Promulgate a decree to shovel out the old words on the tombstone and carve "the tomb of infidelity, filial piety and cunning" to show permanence. Because of his marriage, Fang was naturally among the cronies of the prince, and he died young, and he was responsible for honor and disgrace. Cao Jia was also in the same party with Huang Bazi and Huang Jiuzi because of the problem of establishing storage, which was hated by Yongzheng. Because in manjuji, next to the weaving yamen in Jiangning, the Cao family found a bronze lion statue for Yunchan's collection, which was found to be inappropriate, and was demoted to serve the people, demoted to a soldier, and sent to the end. The two families also experienced the cycle of honor and disgrace in the "prosperous time of kanggan" when the feudal system was revealed to the world. Although Nalan Xingde himself did not experience the decline of his family as Cao Xueqin did later. However, his marriage and career didn't last long, which seems to indicate the law that when the water is full, it will overflow, when the moon is full, it will lose money, and when the banquet is over, it will break up. It should be noted that this phenomenon is not limited to Unalan and Cao Shijia. It is the development law of general things and the common phenomenon of feudal dynasties. This is also the social significance of their family history.
General plan of Grand View Garden
Comparing the personal characters of Nalan Xingde and Cao Xueqin, Nalan Xingde also has many similarities and similarities. Both of them have extraordinary talents and extraordinary cultural foundation. When he was the editor-in-chief of General Textual Research, Nalan Xingde recorded all his reading, indexes and experiences, and later compiled Miscellaneous Knowledge of Lushuige, covering history, geography, astronomy, calendar, Buddhism, music, literature and textual research, showing a little erudition. A poem, Zhubaodong, Wanghailou, is a collection of natural landscapes, historical sites and Cang Sang, which is rich in information, span and connotation. The poem "Crocodile Longtankou in Qin Yi" gives a correct description and artistic expression of the geographical and geological phenomena seen. The competition can be read and appreciated together with the description in the famous cultural geography book "A Brief View of the Imperial Capital". Cao Xueqin is also versatile, and has written many books on epigraphy, arts and crafts, cooking, etc., such as "Collection of Waste Art Studio" and "Record of North-South Examination of Kites". Besides, he is good at painting, calligraphy and poetry. These are all displayed in his encyclopedia of feudal society, A Dream of Red Mansions. Nalan Xingde and Cao Xueqin are both refined and refined people, but they are affectionate and righteous to their friends. Nalan Xingde made friends with Zhu Yizun, Liang, Jiang, Gu Zhenguan and other famous scholars and scribes, and spared no effort to rescue those trapped in the Jedi. Although Nalan is rich and virtuous, he doesn't love officialdom, is not greedy for fame, and even wants to get rid of secular entanglement and become a wild crane in the clouds. Cao Xueqin has poetry friends such as Dunmin, Duncheng and Zhang Yiquan. , even more intimate friends such as "Red inkstone" and Hong Xiao. He is willing to help the poor and those in need. It is said that in the predicament of "painting for a living" and "rope bed for a living", he still "helped orphans" and adopted a blind old woman to teach the blind how to make a living in his uncle's degree. Cao Xueqin once declined the recommendation of his friend Dunmin and did not enter the palace to seek a job.
Nalan, they do have many similarities, and their family experiences can almost overlap. No wonder it didn't take long to become "in-laws" with Nalan's family. After reading A Dream of Red Mansions, he insisted that he was writing about the Pearl family of the previous dynasty. Some people are far-fetched and mystifying, thinking that the Ming government is the Grand View Garden. Pearl Nalan and his son, namely Jia Zheng and Baoyu. No matter whether this statement is valid or not, there are indeed too many similarities between the two, and Cao Xueqin after Nalan can't be ignorant of the changes including the Pearl family before. In addition, his personal experience and experience also enriched his artistic creation, making A Dream of Red Mansions more typical and meaningful. Make a literary work have richer meaning and profound significance. With the continuous extension of A Dream of Red Mansions, there are more connections between them, such as tangible connection between things, intangible connection in concept, causal connection and inevitable law under the same social background. This is the significance of mutual reference, mutual confirmation and mutual interpretation in the process of studying A Dream of Red Mansions.
