A Preliminary Study on the Book of Red Mansion and Apricot Flowers

Tanchun, the third young lady of Jia family, is an ideal, ambitious and accomplished woman. She dares to say that she is bold and practical. Her best performance is to manage the Grand View Garden during Xifeng's illness, promoting the advantages and eliminating the disadvantages, and full of reform spirit; When she raided the Grand View Garden again, she was fearless. In order to maintain her dignity, she gave Wang Baoshan a slap in the face, showing her determination and courage.

"A Dream of Red Mansions" wrote: (Divide the flesh and blood) sail three thousand stormy roads and throw the flesh and blood home together. I'm afraid crying will damage my old age. Tell my parents not to worry. Poverty has been fixed since ancient times, and there is no chance of clutch. From now on, we will be divided into two places, each keeping safe. I want it back, don't get involved. -This shows that she left home late. In the last forty years, she continued to write that she married the son of Zhou Qiong, the general manager of Haimen and other places, but according to Cao Xueqin's original intention, she may have married a prince and become a princess. In the sixty-third chapter of the book, "Shouyi Hongfang Group gave a banquet", Tan Chun drew lots, and the sign said, "Whoever wins this sign is your husband. Let's congratulate you and have a drink together. " They laughed "... we have a princess at home, so you have become a princess. "exultation, exultation" may seem like a joke, but it may also be a foreshadowing. She painted a brand of apricot flowers, which read "Xian Pin in Yaochi", and introduced a poem by Gaochan in the Tang Dynasty, "An apricot rose out of the wall and planted in the clouds". According to the traditional customs of feudal times, "Sun" is the symbol of the emperor, and "Rising Apricot" should refer to the ladies around the emperor. According to the notes in the 556 Years of Qianlong read by Grandpa Shu, there is a queen in A Dream of Red Mansions and a princess outside (see Shu Pi's Poems with the Garden), or the early manuscripts do have the plot arrangement of Tanchun marrying a princess. Anyway, Tanchun finally flew away.
