Sanliu Qiao's version of "A Dream of Red Mansions"

We do not have the opportunity to fully understand the content of Sanroku Hashi's version of "A Dream of Red Mansions", so we can only make some assumptions based on the introduction of Kodama Tatsudo who has read this version. Zhang Qixiang's letter said.

Japanese proficiency. As a result, Kodama is not proficient in Chinese, so she always writes with chalk on the blackboard to help her understand the meaning. He said that Baoyu was also in prison and wrote the word "狴犴" on the blackboard in his hand. He also said that Jia Yun and Xiaohong had visited the prison. He also said that Baochai died of "childbirth" and "dystocia"; he said that Xiangyun Shi was "widow" and was with Baoyu is "tied"; talking about Sister Feng, it is said that she has been "abandoned"; talking about exploring spring. It is said that marrying a "foreign vassal". Speaking of Miaoyu, it is said that it has fallen into "travel and dust", etc.

There are 40 chapters in the legendary Sanliu Hashimoto's "Dream of Red Mansions", and Zhang Qixiang heard "this is the rumor". Volume 4 of Sun Kaidi's "Chinese Popular Novels Bibliography" also records: "Mr. Sanliuqiao (many) said that there have been forty editions." According to the above introduction and analysis, the Sanliuqiao edition should belong to Futang Yishi's "Xuyue Wei" It is a continuation of the "Old Genuine Edition" recorded in "Notes from the Thatched Cottage". The plot is generally consistent with the clues in the last 40 chapters suggested by the commentary on the first 80 chapters of Cao Xueqin's "The Story of the Stone". This so-called "authentic version of the old times" was seen by Chu Deyi at the Duanwu Bridge, and was also mentioned in Mr. Qi Gong's article "Recording Rumors of Strange Abilities in the Dream of Red Mansions". At the end of 1942 and the beginning of 1943, Peking University held a reading meeting, and I lectured on "Dream of Red Mansions" at the meeting. I was watching "Dream of Red Mansions" and "A Critique of a Dream of Red Mansions" and "A Differentiation of a Dream of Red Mansions". What was done at the meeting was a report on "Dream of Red Mansions". The content includes: The background, era, location, author, version, etc. of "Dream of Red Mansions". The consultant of the book club at that time was Kodama Tatsudo, a Japanese professor (from the Department of Philosophy). After I finished my report, after the meeting, Kodama Tatsudo came to talk to me privately. We talked at the edge of the podium, and sometimes he would write something on the blackboard. He said:

In Japan, there is a book called "The Story of the Stone" by Sanroku Hashimoto, which has the last thirty chapters. I have read the last thirty chapters, and the content is:

Xiangyun Married Baoyu. (Kodama's Chinese was not very good, so he wrote chalk words on the blackboard while talking to help explain. At this point, he wrote the word "Jie Ling".)

Baochai died. Dystocia. (The word "dystocia" was written, and the word "delivery" was written.)

Tan Chunyuan married a foreign vassal. (Write about marrying a "foreign vassal", "marrying far away, Xingyuanhefan".)

Miaoyu fell into the world. (Write the word "Fengchen". Fengchen means brothel in Japanese.>

Wang Xifeng was abandoned. (Write the word "Fengchen")

Baoyu later Imprisoned. (Write the word "狴犴".)

Xiaohong and Jia Yun got married (Connect them with a line and lead to "Jie Ling".) They also visited the prison to see Baoyu. .

The ending of Daiyu was not mentioned.

This book must be in Japan, not in Shanghai. According to the impression I heard at the time, it was not in a library or a school, but in a private place. What is the name of the research institution "Yuan"?

Sanliu Bridge, I thought it was a place name. Later, when I talked with Yu Pingbo, he said that Sanliu Bridge was Sanduo. I knew it was a person's name. He served in the puppet Manchukuo as soon as it was established. After the "July 7" incident, he often traveled between Beijing and Northeast China. He once visited Sanduo's home and listened to Sanduo in person. , he had a copy of the last thirty chapters. But Sanduo just talked about it and didn't take it out from the bookshelf to show it to Sun. Maybe he didn't want the book to be read in Northeast China or Japan. The report at the meeting was compiled into a manuscript, with a paragraph of miscellaneous notes about Sanliu Hashimoto's situation. The manuscript was sent to the editorial office of the school magazine, and the miscellaneous notes were deleted. The rest were published in "Peking University Literature" in 1943. In the first issue (summer), there is only one sentence mentioned: According to Kodama Tatsudo, he has read the "Stone Story" in the Sanryuqiao Collection, but the specific content was not known at the time. I still made a typo. The article talks about the last 40 chapters. But I am deeply impressed. Kodama is indeed talking about the last 30 chapters.

Sun Kaidi listened to Sanliu Bridge in person and wrote this book down in the "Bibliography of Chinese Popular Novels", but he couldn't introduce the content. I met Comrade Shi Shuqing a few days ago and he asked me if I talked about Sanliu Bridge. Did this happen before or after I read Sun Kaidi's bibliography? I said that when I talked about it, I didn't know about Sun Kaidi's bibliography. I only read Sanliuqiao later.

Sanliuqiao sounds like a place name, but it is actually a personal name. Sanduo (1871-1940), a Mongolian, Zhong Yishi, had the courtesy name Liuqiao, so it was called Sanliuqiao and Sanduoge. He belongs to the Zhengbai Banner of Manchuria and is a native of Beijing. He was originally a bannerman stationed in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. He made his fortune early. In the 20th year of Guangxu's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1894), at the age of only 23, he was promoted to the rank of General Protector of Hangzhou. In the 28th year of Guangxu's reign (1902), he was promoted to the Imperial College of the Capital, and later to the General Office of the Zhejiang Armed Forces Academy and the Western Affairs Bureau of the Supervisory Office. He was subsequently appointed as the prefect of Hangzhou, and was promoted to the rank of first official and candidate in the 33rd year of Guangxu's reign (1907). Councilor of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and naturalized as Deputy Governor, he later served as Minister of Affairs in Kulun, Deputy Governor of Shengjing and Minister of Guardian, etc. In October 1909, the Qing Dynasty appointed Sanduo as the hereditary Captain of Qingche (now the capital of Mongolia in Uzbekistan). Lambato City) Minister of Affairs. Sanduo is "young, good at writing, and capable", but he can't help but be cautious in his actions.

He "used the Russians to seek Mongolia and rectified the accumulated shortcomings", and implemented new policies in Outer Mongolia, mainly to establish education, immigrate to the border areas, open up recruitment, organize and train new troops, and petitioned to build the Zhangjiakou-Qiaktu Railway (Zhangjiakou-Kyaktu ), etc., and are preparing to establish more than 20 industrial investigation bureaus and other agencies in Mongolia. In 1910 (the second year of Xuantong), a conflict occurred between the lama and Minister Kulun. The monks quarreled over the purchase of wood, and then gathered a crowd to rob the Deyiyong Wood Factory. The Minister of Kulun Affairs, Sanduo, personally went to suppress the incident and arrested the first offender, the monk. The lama gathered thousands of people and threw stones at Sanduo Chengyu to resist the arrest, and snatched the arrested lama back on the way. Sanduo ordered the Shabi Yamen to hand over the culprit. The Wuchang Uprising broke out on October 10, 1911. In mid-November, Hangda Dorji and his party rushed back to Kulun, plotting to declare the independence of Outer Mongolia and form the interim Prime Minister Mongolia State Office headed by Hangda Dorji. On November 30, Hangda Dorji and others presented an ultimatum to Sanduo, the Qing minister in Kulun, announcing that "we will protect all of Mongolia on our own and designate it as the Great Mongolian Independent Empire, and publicly recommend Jebzundamba as the Great Emperor. "I will reach the top soon" and asked Sanduo to leave the country immediately. According to historical records: On the fourteenth day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, San Duo saw that the Mongols had no intention of harming him, so he hired a car from the consulate and fled to Kyaktu. When Zhang Jing, the official of Kyaktu, saw San Duo, he repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, but refused to do so. When he left, Sanduo refused to comply, so he took a Russian train and fled back to Fengtian, and then to Tianjin." On December 16, the Kulun Independent Group officially announced the establishment of the Great Mongolia, with Dai Dai as the reign name and Zhebzundamba Hutuktu as the emperor. During the Mongolian Revolution of 1911, the Mongolian army surrounded the Kulun Counselor's Yamen and gave him three days to leave the country. The more than three guardsmen were disbanded by Russian soldiers to search for weapons, and the camp was guarded by Russian soldiers together with Mongolian troops. Four days later, the Cossack cavalry escorted Sanduo and others out of the country and fled to Kyactu. When Jia Ketu appointed Zhang Jing, he repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay. Sanduo, a Mongolian who has been deeply influenced by Chinese culture since childhood, was infinitely loyal to the Chinese government, severely opposed the independence of Outer Mongolia, and even resisted the separatist activities of Tsarist Russia. Therefore, he resolutely refused to listen to Mongolia's "repeated attempts to persuade him to stay" and took a Russian train secretly. Fleeed to Fengtian (Shenyang). At this time, the Qing government had disappeared, and he went to Tianjin again, settled in an apartment, and suspended political asylum. After the first year of the Republic of China (1912), Sanduo came to Shenyang again to manage the Shenyang Forbidden City and the three tombs outside the Qing Dynasty (Xinbin Yongling, Shenyang Fuling and Zhaoling). Zhang Zuolin allocated the expenses for managing the tombs. When the puppet Manchukuo went to the puppet Xinjing (Changchun), Puyi gave him a house to live in and served as the president of the Puppet Manchukuo Electric Co., Ltd. Pseudo-Kant died in 1940 at the age of sixty-nine. Sanduo was intelligent since he was a child, he was kind and calm, and he liked to give alms. He had a strict upbringing and was diligent in literature. He studied at Taishi in Yuquyuan (Yue), Zhejiang, and was especially famous for his poems, which were passed down from Taishi's direct descendants. He is skilled in calligraphy, good at official calligraphy, and famous throughout the country for his vigorous brushwork. Unfortunately, no collection of calligraphy and painting has been published. In Shenyang, there is only a plaque inscribed on Deguzhai. When he was the border defense minister stationed in Mongolia (today's Outer Mongolia) in the late Qing Dynasty, he advocated "promoting science and education, reform, building railways, and doing business", so he wanted to build a railway from Zhangjiakou to Kyaktu to improve the backward transportation. Spread advanced knowledge from the mainland. For this dream, he donated all the treasures at home, but in the end, the railway was not built, and the whereabouts of the treasures have been unknown ever since. Therefore, among the treasures collected by Sanduo, three treasures are the most precious. The first one is "Xixi Plum and Bamboo Villa Picture Album". This album began with the painting "Picture of Plum and Bamboo Villa" by Xi Gang in the eighth year of Jiaqing (1803). It took nearly a hundred years to compile this album. This album covers all the famous calligraphers and calligraphers in Hangzhou in the middle and late Qing Dynasty. The second piece is a portrait of Nalan Xingde. Nalan Xingde was the eldest son of Mingzhu, a poet in the Qing Dynasty and a great scholar. The third piece is Sanliu Hashimoto of the last thirty chapters of "Dream of Red Mansions". For this thirty chapters, Mr. Zheng, a descendant of Sanduo (Mr. Zheng currently works at People's Literature Publishing House), thinks that this should be Mr. Cao Xueqin's original version. Unfortunately, the whereabouts of the legendary Sanroku Hashimoto are unknown and are said to be somewhere in Japan. This Sanliuqiao version of Dream of Red Mansions says that Jia Baoyu finally married Shi Xiangyun, Baochai died in childbirth, Wang Xifeng was divorced, and Jia Yun and Xiaohong got married and visited the prison temple. The clues revealed in the last 30 chapters of Dream of Red Mansions seem to be the same. Those who are interested can search for the story of Sanliu Hashimoto.
