Answers to the classic Chinese story about the red thread

1. Translation of "The Legend of Hongxian"

The maid of the Xue Song family, the governor of Luzhou in the Tang Dynasty, was named Hongxian. She was good at playing Ruan Xian and was familiar with classics and history books.

Tian Chengsi, the governor of Wei Bo, wanted to annex Luzhou. After Xue Song heard the news, he was worried and depressed day and night, unable to think of any good countermeasures.

Hongxian said: "For a month, the master has not even had time to sleep and eat. Isn't it because of the affairs in the neighboring state?" Xue Song said: "The matter is related to the safety of Luzhou. You can't predict it. You can imagine it." Hongxian said: "I am indeed from a humble background, but I am also someone who can relieve the master's worries." After hearing what she said, Xue Song thought she was weird, so he told her about it. She said: "I inherited the property left by my ancestors and fathers, and enjoyed the emperor's kindness. Once I lose this territory, hundreds of years of achievements will be reduced to ashes." Hongxian said: "This matter is easy to deal with. "It's not worth bothering and worrying the master.

I will be on the road at the first watch today, and I can report back on the mission on the second watch." Hongxian then entered the bathroom and packed up her travel equipment.

After praying twice, he set off and disappeared immediately. Xue Song then turned around and closed the door, sitting upright with his back to the candle.

Suddenly he heard the dawn horn sounding in the wind and dew falling from a leaf. Xue Song was very panicked and stood up to ask. It turned out that the red thread was back. Xue Song asked happily: "Is the matter done?" Hongxian replied: "I dare not let down the mission."

Xue Song asked again: "You didn't hurt anyone or kill anyone, right?" Hongxian replied He said, "We haven't come this far. We just took the gold box on his bedside as evidence." Xue Song then sent an envoy to Weibo and sent a letter to Tian Chengsi, saying: "Last night, a guest came from Weibo, saying that he was from Weibo. The marshal got a gold box from his bedside. I dare not leave it here, so I sealed it respectfully and returned it to you."

The envoy ran like a meteor and arrived in the middle of the night. Tian Chengsi came out in a hurry, and the envoy handed the gold box to him. When Tian Chengsi received it, he was so frightened that he fainted to the ground.

The next day, Tian Chengsi specially sent an envoy with 30,000 pieces of silk fabrics, 200 famous horses and various rare treasures to present to Xue Song, saying: "My head is tied to On your behalf, please give me the opportunity to know my fault and correct it, so that I will no longer cause trouble to you."

From then on, messengers from Hebei and Henan came to each other. Suddenly one day, Hongxian said goodbye and left.

Xue Song said: "You were born in my family, where are you going now? We need you now, how can you say go?" Hongxian said: "I used to be a man, studying in the world. , read the book of divine pesticides and cure the diseases of the world. At that time, a pregnant woman in the village suddenly suffered from intra-abdominal worms. I gave her genkwa wine to drink. As a result, the woman and the two children in her belly died. .

My wrong move killed three of them. The power of ghosts and gods punished me and made me a woman, making me a humble slave.

Fortunately, I was born in the master's family. It has been 19 years now. It has reached a very high level. I went to Weibo some time ago to repay my kindness.

Now the two places have saved their lives, and the rebellious officials know that they have integrity and ambition. When people seek stability, for a woman like me, the contribution is not small. If I can atone for my previous sins and restore my original appearance, I should hide in the world and put my soul outside of the world. The chaotic energy in the heart can be clarified in order to live forever."

Hongxian knelt down and cried, and (after a while) he didn't know where he went. 2. The full text of "Hongxian Zhuan" is translated word for word.

In the Tang Dynasty, a maid named Hongxian from the family of Xue Song, the governor of Luzhou, was very good at playing the pipa and knew the Four Books and Five Classics.

Xue Song asked her to manage various documents, which was called the internal records room. At a military banquet, Hongxian said to Xue Song: "The sound of this drum is very sad. The drummer must have something on his mind."

Xue Song also knew music and said: "You can tell That's right." So, when he asked the drummer, he said, "My wife died last night, and I didn't dare to ask for leave." After hearing this, Xue Song asked him to go home. This was during the reign of Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty, and Henan and Hebei were very uneasy.

The imperial court ordered Xue Song to guard Ganyang and control Shandong. Just after the war and the military government was first built, the court ordered Xue Song to marry his daughter to the son of Tian Chengsi, the military governor of Weibo, and to marry his son to the daughter of Linghu Zhang, the military governor of Huabo.

The three towns of Ganyang, Weibo and Huabo were united in marriage, and envoys were often sent to communicate with each other. During the Wei Bo Festival, Tian Chengsi fell ill with lungs and became seriously ill due to the hot weather.

He often said: "If I were stationed in Shandong, where the weather is cooler, I could live a few more years." So he selected three thousand warriors from the army, called otakumen, and gave them generous salary treatment.

He ordered 300 people to be on duty at the yamen gate and in the courtyard, and chose the right time to annex Luzhou.

After Xue Song heard the news, he was worried day and night, often talking to himself, but could not think of a good solution.

One night, the gate of the military camp was closed. Xue Song walked to the courtyard on crutches, with only the red line following him. Red Line said: "You have been restless for more than a month, and you seem to have something on your mind. Is it because of Tian Chengsi's matter?" Said: "Although I am a slave, I can relieve your worries." Xue Song heard that her words were unusual, so he said: "I know you are not an ordinary person, and I know it well."

He then I told Hongxian the details. I inherited my grandfather's great cause and accepted the country's favor. Once I lose the territory I guard, all the achievements I have made over the past few hundred years will be lost. Hongxian said: "This matter is easy to handle, no need to worry about it.

Please let me go to Weicheng first to observe the situation and explore the situation. I will go in the first watch and I will be back in the second watch.

Please prepare a messenger, a horse, and a greeting letter first, and we will discuss other matters when you get back." Xue Song said, "If this thing is not done well, it will cause disaster. What should we do?" Hongxian said: "I will definitely be able to handle it when I go here."

After saying that, he returned to his room, prepared his belongings, washed himself, put his hair into a black bun, put a golden hairpin in his hair, and wore purple clothes. Wearing an embroidered short robe, a green ribbon around the waist, light boots on the feet, a dragon-script dagger on the chest, and the name of Taiyi God written on the forehead. He bowed to Xue Song and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Xue Song went back to the house, closed the door, sat with the light behind him, and drank alone. Xue Song was not a good drinker on weekdays, but he drank a lot this night and was not drunk. Suddenly he heard a gust of morning wind blowing, as if a leaf had fallen. He was startled, but the red thread came back.

Xue Song happily asked: "How did things go?" Hongxian said: "How dare I fail to complete the mission." Xue Song asked again: "Didn't you hurt anyone?" Hongxian said: "Use No, I brought the gold box from Tian Chengsi's bedside.

I arrived in Weicheng before midnight. After passing a few doors, I arrived at the place where he slept. I heard the man outside in the corridor. He was sleeping, snoring loudly. The Chinese soldiers were walking around in the courtyard, greeting each other.

I opened the left door and went to his bed. Your father-in-law was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly with his feet exposed. Wrapped in a yellow scarf and pillowed with flowers, there is a dagger in front of the pillow. In front of the dagger is an open gold box with his birth date and the name of the Beidou God written on it, and it is covered with spices and pearls.

Looking at his sleeping appearance, he didn't expect that his life was in my hands. It would be easy to kill him. I was afraid that it would cause trouble. At this time, the candle was about to go out and the incense burnt out. , his waiters scattered, their weapons were thrown together, some touched their heads against the screen, snoring loudly, and some fell asleep holding sweat towels and hair dusters.

I pulled out their hairpins and earrings and touched them. Their clothes seemed to be sick and they couldn't wake up. So I came back with the gold box.

After walking more than two hundred miles from the west gate of Wei City, I vaguely saw the bronze platform on the city wall. The water flows eastward, the moon rises above the forest trees, and the morning rooster crows. I was very angry when I left, but I was very happy when I came back, forgetting my fatigue.

In order to thank you for your kindness, I went back and forth in the middle of the night. Hundreds of miles, not afraid of danger, walked through five or six cities, hoping to reduce your worries, how dare I say hard work?" So Xue Song sent someone to Weicheng and sent a letter to Tian Chengsi, which said : "Someone came from Weicheng last night and took a gold box from your bedside. I didn't dare to keep it, so I sent a special envoy to return it overnight.

The envoy came to Weicheng in the middle of the night just to find In order to search for the person who stole the gold box, the soldiers were busy knocking on the door with their riding whips. They thought it must be something important to see them at this critical moment. Tian Chengsi came out in a hurry, and the envoy gave him the gold box. Holding the gold box, he almost fainted with surprise.

He left the envoy behind, hosted a banquet in the hall, and gave the envoy many rewards. The next day, he sent someone to bring 30,000 horses. cloth, two hundred good horses, and some precious things, and dedicated them to Xue Song.

And told Xue Song that thanks to him not remembering personal grudges, I saved my life, and I wanted to repent. No longer causing trouble for relatives, I specially sent people to discuss my children’s marriages and asked my son to treat his daughter favorably. I recruited foreigners to prevent theft and had no other intentions. Now I asked them to take off their military uniforms and go home to plant crops. In the next month or two, messengers from Hebei and Henan came and went frequently.

Suddenly one day, Hongxian wanted to say goodbye. I still have to rely on you, how can you leave? "Hongxian said: "I was a man in my previous life. I traveled around in search of knowledge, read Shen Nong's medicinal books, and treated people's diseases and eliminated disasters.

At that time, there was a pregnant woman with worms in her belly. I gave her genkwa wine, and the woman and the twins in her belly died. I killed three people at one time. To punish me, the underworld turned me into a woman and demoted me to a slave.

Fortunately, I was born in your family. I am already nineteen years old. I wear enough silks and satins and eat all the delicious food. You are particularly fond of me and give me a lot of honors. Now that the territory under your jurisdiction is peaceful and people live and work in peace and contentment, I should stay here, but this goes against God's will. I went to Weicheng yesterday to repay my kindness.

Now the cities in both places have been saved, and people's lives are safe. Rebellious ministers know to be afraid, but strong and upright people are protected. For me, a woman, the merit is not small. It can atone for my previous sins and return me as a man. I want to leave the world, become an immortal, and live forever. .

"

Xue Song said: "You can't do this, you are a young lady. 3. Interpretation of the Red Thread

Jin Yong’s Interpretation

"The Legend of the Red Thread" is the most brilliant of the nine stories in "The Ballad of Ganze" written by Yuan Jiao in the late Tang Dynasty.

Yuan Jiao was a Hanlin scholar and governor of Guozhou during the Zhaozong Dynasty, and he once made peace with Wen Tingyun. "The Legend of Red Line" was written by Yang Juyuan in "Tang Dynasty Series". However, the style and ideological style of other stories in "Ganze Ballad" are very similar to "Hongxian Biography". It is believed that this article was written by Yuan Jiao. At that time, after the Anshi Rebellion, there were endless attacks on the vassal towns. The wars were incessant and the people were in dire straits. Zheng Zhenduo said that this article was written in Xiantong Wuzi (868 AD). That year Pang Xun rebelled, which shocked the world. Yuan Jiao's article should reflect the people's desire for peace.

The two Jiedu envoys Xue Song and Tian Chengsi in the story were originally generals under An Lushan. After An Lushan's death, they belonged to Shi Siming. Later, they surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and became Jiedushi , in fact, they are all capricious warriors.

Hongxian was nineteen years old at the time. Not only did she possess extraordinary skills, but she was also "good at playing Ruan Xian and well versed in classics and history." She was a chivalrous woman with both literary and military talents. There were few such characters in other swordsman stories. The reason why "The Legend of Red Thread" is so widely circulated may be because she used an ingenious and magical action to eliminate a military disaster, which is in line with the ordinary Chinese people's ideal of "turning big things into small things, and small things into nothing".

Tang Dynasty legends are generally written in prose, but "The Legend of Red Line" is mixed with some crystal-like parallel prose, which has a special brilliance.

The article describes the appearance and attire of the red line when setting off in a very detailed way. Before a major action, the protagonist is first described: "He entered the living room, decorated his belongings, combed his black bun, He was wearing a golden bird hairpin, a purple embroidered short robe, and bright green silk shoes. He wore a dragon-script dagger on his chest, and the name of the god Taiyi was written on his forehead. He bowed again, but suddenly he disappeared. She dictated the story to Xue Song in the first person, which was different from the third person writing in general legends. She described the situation inside and outside Tian Chengsi's sleeping tent: "I heard the children outside the house stopped in the corridor, sleeping with thunderous sounds; I saw the Chinese army marching under the court, shouting... At this time, the smoke of the candles was faint, and the incense burned. The servants are surrounded by cloth, and the soldiers are engaged in battle. Some of them are sleeping with their heads touching the screen, or they are sleeping with their heads stretched out. Notes, no final version) seems to be a series of movie shots that are still and still within the movement. After she stole Jinhe and left Wei City, she was about to travel 200 miles. "She saw the bronze tower raised and the Zhang River flowing eastward. The morning rush was moving in the fields and the moon was setting in the forest." Seventeen characters wrote a magnificent picture. .

The red line describes that he was originally a man in life, but he was reincarnated as a woman after a pregnant woman died. This section is the failure of the whole text. The concept of reincarnation was particularly popular with Yuan Jiao, and another story "Yuan Guan" in "Gan Ze Yao" also wrote about this matter. Those are naturally Buddhist concepts.

The ending is extremely elegant. When Hongxian said goodbye, Xue Song "widely bid farewell, gathered all the guests, and had a night banquet in the middle hall. Song sent Hongxian wine with a song, and asked the guests to chant the morning sun as a poem. The poem said: 'Cai Ling sings to complain about the Mulan boat, and the soul of the guest is gone hundreds of feet away. The building is like Luo Fei riding in the fog, and the blue sky is empty and the water is empty. "The song is so sad that the red thread bows and weeps, and then leaves the table because of being drunk." This text is both heroic and touching. , has the spirit of heroism, the meaning of children, bright and dim, and endless aftertaste. It is an excellent fragment of martial arts novels. 4.
