Zhang Ye maintained his smile. This was a confident smile that came from grasping all the information. In his world, "Dream of the Red Chamber" had already been studied down to the "sweat pores". It could not be any more thorough. Many things had already been concluded. Zhang Ye was also a broadcasting host, so he was very glib with his words. Hence, no one present, or even this world, could beat him in the field of "Dream of the Red Chamber".
Senior Song insisted, "Then why wasn't it Gao E who obtained a 120 chapter ancient copy of 'Dream of the Red Chamber' and published it?"
"How can that be!?" Senior Song did not believe it.
"Uh, this …" Senior Zhou was also at a loss for words.
The information was as follows:
The students went online to check. Indeed, there was such an ancient copy.
Even Professor Zeng and a few Teachers who had a deep understanding of "Dream of the Red Chamber" had a look of shock on their faces for the first time! At this moment, Zhang Ye's citations and documents, as well as his analysis and reasoning, did not seem to be impossible!
Zhiyanzhai, who had never been taken seriously by Redologists, was actually said by Zhang Ye to be the most authoritative and had even participated in the creation of "Dream of the Red Chamber"??
Senior Song said, "It might be a coincidence. This is not considered evidence."
Many Peking University students also shook their heads.
Zhang Ye shook his head, "A coincidence cannot be explained. The only explanation is that the real Cao Xueqin's" Dream of the Red Chamber "only has 80 chapters that have been passed down. And Gao E saw it. He studied it seriously and continued writing it. And Gao E was very lucky. He saw a more complete ancient copy of the 80 chapters that we have never seen before. However, it cannot be said that we have never seen it before. This is because Gao E's version had already published this ancient copy of the 80 chapters. Of course, it had been amended and filled in by him, but it did not change much."
Many Peking University students also shook their heads.
If an attentive person were to flip through all the ancient copies of 'Dream of the Red Chamber', they would discover that this sentence was not in any of them. However, only Zhiyanzhai's version had it. This sentence was not written by Cao Xueqin at all. To discover the adultery, one would obtain the stolen goods. This was Zhiyanzhai's comment from the start! "With a comparison, everyone could see it clearly." Look, the source is right here! And Zhiyanzhai's ancient text is clearly much older than Gao E's version by many years. Of course, it is impossible for Zhiyanzhai to have mistakenly copied Gao E's ancient text. The logic does not make sense at all. Therefore, this is the situation where Zhiyanzhai's deleted text was mistakenly mixed into Gao E's version. This is because Gao E is using Zhiyanzhai's ancient text as a template! "
"Really?"
Zhang Ye's expression was one of ridicule, "You said that Zhiyanzhai was just randomly graffiti? It's just that the people who studied Zhiyanzhai's ancient text could not understand what he was saying. However, others might not understand, but I do. I believe that if everyone bases their thinking on the premise that 'Dream of the Red Chamber' only has 80 chapters, you will also be able to understand. " He took out another piece of information. It was the existing information that existed in this world. Although Zhang Ye had seen the original versions of Zhiyanzhai's ancient texts, this world was almost completely lost. He could not use this as an excuse, so he could only use the existing evidence.
"It's really true!"
"This is Zhiyanzhai's comment?"
Zhang Ye retorted, "Then what is authoritative? If an ancient text is not considered authoritative, then the research of a Redologist is considered authoritative? What kind of logic is this? We study 'Dream of the Red Chamber' based on known information. Besides, do you think that Zhiyanzhai, an ancient person, had nothing better to do? Just to mislead everyone, that's why you wrote these brainless things? "
Senior Zhou said, "This comment itself is not authoritative."
The Peking University students exploded once again as they looked at each other!
Zhang Ye did not answer the question, but said, "Has anyone heard of a person named Zhiyanzhai?"
"What can this prove?"
Cao Xueqin's identity was also unknown?
"What the f * * k!"
"That's right. What does this mean?"
"That's right." Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Zhiyanzhai's ancient text is not valued by many. Firstly, it is too incomplete, and secondly, it is not understood. Hence, no one has seriously studied it. Even if they studied it, it was just skimmed over, and no one paid much attention to it. Hur Hur, but I want to tell everyone here that if you can't understand it, you can say that it is unreasonable and graffiti. This in itself is a form of disrespect to academics. Actually, Zhiyanzhai's ancient text is the most authoritative version of 'Dream of the Red Chamber' that has been passed down to this day! " In Zhang Ye's world, Zhiyanzhai's ancient text was the most complete and detailed comment. He had seen the original version!
The History department girl's face turned red and white before she finally sat down dejectedly.
"Furthermore, I believe that many people have not realized it. Even countless Redologists have not noticed something." Compared to other ancient manuscripts, it's not worth mentioning. However, this ancient manuscript hides a very important piece of information. Look here. Do you see it? This line seems to be wrong. There are a few extra words for no reason. If you just look at these words, you won't be able to understand anything, but what if you do this? "Zhang Ye took another piece of information and put it together.
The students couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Ye provided another example. "If everyone doesn't believe this ancient text, then there's this passage. This is simply Gao E's version. It's also what everyone is familiar with from the 120 circulated chapters."
"Holy shit! Why are Zhiyanzhai's comments in other ancient books? "
Senior Song raised her chin and said, "Zhiyanzhai might have communicated with Cao Xueqin, thinking that Cao Xueqin would write it this way. He might have revealed some of the plot and the title of the chapter, which we now call the outline. But in the end, Cao Xueqin did not write it according to his previous train of thought. That's also possible!"
Another bombshell!
The Peking University students were in an uproar!
Zhang Ye pointed at the projection and said, "Zhiyanzhai had such a comment. Later on, Jia Baoyu would 'choke on a sour drink in the cold winter, encircle a tattered blanket on a snowy night'. I want to ask, in the 120 circulated chapters of 'Dream of the Red Chamber', is there such a plot in the first 80 chapters? No! Is there such a plot in the last 40 chapters? Also no! " He pointed again. "Zhiyanzhai's comment also says that Little Red helped rescue Baoyu in the 'Temple of the Prison God'. Is there such a plot in the last 40 chapters? Still no! Even the 'Temple of the Prison God' does not appear in the last 40 chapters! Zhiyanzhai even directly told us about the last chapter after the 80th chapter. It's called — Xue Baochai's sarcastic remonstrance. Wang Xifeng knows her destiny as a hero. Is there such a plot in the last 40 chapters? Still no! "
The Chinese department's Chang Kaige and Zhen Shuquan finally showed signs of wavering!
You really want to shock people to death with your words!
Zhang Ye looked at her and said, "But don't you think that Zhiyanzhai's comment was too certain? His tone was not as if he had heard some of Cao Xueqin's train of thought, but that he had really read or knew the story after the 80th chapter! Zhiyanzhai was very certain! Hence, the reason why Zhiyanzhai's comment is not understood by people is because the story after the 80th chapter of 'Dream of the Red Chamber' was not written by Cao Xueqin, but continued by Gao Pi. Zhiyanzhai is too crucial to the research of Redology. He could be Cao Xueqin's wife, or he could be Cao Xueqin's father, or he could be Cao Xueqin's good friend. As for the specifics, we do not know, but I can be sure of one thing. This Zhiyanzhai is not an ordinary person who only borrowed a copy of 'Dream of the Red Chamber'! It can be seen from the comment! Zhiyanzhai had participated in the entire creation of 'Dream of the Red Chamber'! He had read it, exchanged it, and discussed it with Cao Xueqin before writing his comment! "
"In this situation, I believe, or should I say, I can be sure that all the ancient versions of 'Dream of the Red Chamber' actually came from Zhiyanzhai's reappraisal of 'Story of the Stone'. Including Gao E's version system, all the versions of 'Dream of the Red Chamber' originated from the Zhiyanzhai review system! As for the most complete ancient version in Gao E's hands that no one had ever seen before, it can actually be determined to be Zhiyanzhai's version. However, one of Zhiyanzhai's versions was severely damaged, so we did not pay much attention to it when we discovered it. What Gao E obtained was Zhiyanzhai's relatively complete 80th chapter of 'Dream of the Red Chamber'! Hence, with this inference, Zhiyanzhai's comment is too precious. It is also rather reliable. Hence, the comments that Zhiyanzhai made after the 80th chapter are established. This also means that the part after the 80th chapter of 'Dream of the Red Chamber' was not written by Cao Xueqin! "
Everyone exclaimed.
Professor Cao and company were also shocked. The handwriting and handwriting were clearly different. It was not written by the same person, but … the words were the same!
Only a junior from the History department said with a clear voice, "It's also an ancient version. I remember it was called 'Zhiyanzhai's Reappraisal of' Story of the Stone '. However, this ancient version has only been passed down a few times. It is the most fragmented, and the comments inside are rather baffling. Hence, many experts, scholars and Redology enthusiasts do not count this as an ancient version. They feel that it is not very authoritative, and might have been randomly scribbled."
It exploded in the auditorium again!
Zhang Ye was amused, "I do not agree with this. From the comments, we can see the close relationship between Zhiyanzhai and Cao Xueqin. What we do not know is Zhiyanzhai's exact identity. It's not that his origins are unknown. If Zhiyanzhai's origins are unknown, then according to what you said, Cao Xueqin's origins are also unknown. Our academic world and Redology world are still unable to determine if Cao Xueqin is Cao Yong's son or Cao Fu's son. Hence, these identities cannot be used to refute the evidence."
He went to Xichun's room. As Xichun was young, she did not know much. She was so frightened that she did not know what had happened. Hence, Sister Feng could not help but comfort her. Who knew that she would find a large bag of silver ingots in the drawing box. There were about 30 to 40 of them. In order to investigate adultery, she had obtained stolen goods. There was also a jade belt plate, as well as a bag of men's shoes and socks.
Wu Zeqing smiled. She did not pretend to play with her cellphone this time!
Senior Song shook her head.
He said, "This should be very clear, right? The person who wrote this ancient version had also referred to Zhiyanzhai's version. Hence, he was a little distracted here, and ended up making a mistake. He used Zhiyanzhai's comment verbatim and inexplicably inserted it. It has nothing to do with the rest of the text. Many people have seen this before, but thought that it was a typo or a mix-up, so they did not pay much attention to it. However, I have studied it, and everyone can see it. This sentence is actually Zhiyanzhai's comment in one of the chapters. It's even the original words! "
"This …"
A Peking University female student from the History department quibbled, "Even if what you said makes sense, there are no historical records of Zhiyanzhai. It's even a pen name. His origins are unknown, and we don't even know if he's a man or a woman. His words cannot be trusted, and cannot be used as evidence."
"It matches!"
"Why is this line the same?"
Even Professor Zeng could not help but say, "What do you think?"
