How much do you know about the hanging paintings in "A Dream of Red Mansions"?
1. There is a calligraphy and painting in the upper room of Ningguo Mansion that encourages learning
Jia Baoyu followed Jia Mu to the Ningguo Mansion to enjoy the plum blossoms, and prepared the upper room for Jia Baoyu to rest in Ningguo Mansion. Here, I saw a couplet of "Picture of Burning Quinoa" and "Knowledge of worldly affairs is knowledge, and mastery of human feelings is article".
2. In Qin Keqing's bedroom, Jia Baoyu saw Tang Bohu's "Begonia Sleeping in Spring" hanging on the wall.
According to Song Shi Huihong's "Lengzhai Night Talk", Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty went to the Agarwood Pavilion to summon Concubine Taizhen. She was still drunk at that time, so she ordered Gao Lishi to have her servants help her come. The concubine is drunk, her face is stained with makeup, her hair is in disarray, and she can no longer worship her. Emperor Ming laughed and said, "How could it be that my concubine was so drunk that she couldn't even sleep enough for Begonia to sleep!" This is the origin of the allusion "Begonia sleeps in spring". Later, the great poet Su Dongpo wrote a poem "Begonia" based on this: "The east wind is full of glory, and the fragrant mist is full of moonlight in the corridor. I am afraid that the flowers will fall asleep late at night, so I burn high candles to illuminate the red makeup." Tang Bohu painted accordingly. A picture of "Begonia Beauty". In the seventeenth chapter, it is written about the plaque inscribed on Yihongyuan, which says that a guest day "is full of color"; in the eighteenth chapter, in Baoyu's poem "Yihong Kuailu", there is a sentence that says "the red makeup makes me sleepless at night"; in the sixth chapter, Chapter 13, Xiangyun's poem signed on the day "I'm afraid the flowers will fall asleep late at night", and the entire description of Xiangyun's drunken sleep in the shade of peony in Chapter 62, are similar to Tang Bohu's "Begonia Sleeping in Spring" origin.
The "Picture of Begonia Sleeping in Spring" is accompanied by the couplet "The tender stuff locks dreams because of the cold spring, and the fragrance envelops people like the fragrance of wine." This couplet is an expansion and extension of "Begonia Sleeping in Spring". It makes people's hearts beat when reading it, and allows people to clearly feel the charm of early spring.
3. A precious calligraphy and painting hangs in Jia Tanchun's room
In Chapter 40, "Shi Taijun had two banquets in the Grand View Garden, and the golden mandarin ducks announced their tooth orders three times". Everyone followed Jia Mu When I went to Jia Tanchun's room to rest, I saw a large-scale Xiangyang "Mist and Rain Picture" hanging on the west wall of Jia Tanchun's residence.
