-- Red Sleeves Add Fragrance (reprint)

Red Sleeves Tianxiang is a very tempting word for readers.

As the old saying goes: "The book has its own golden house, the book has its own beauty like jade, and the book has its own thousand bells of millet." However, for most readers, this is just a long-term temptation. I can just draw cakes to satisfy my hunger. So many scholars are looking forward to some kind of miracle and romantic encounter, and the most ideal one is to add fragrance to the red sleeves.

For readers, the reason why "Hongxiu Tianxiang" is very tempting is that in addition to finding a companion to accompany you to read - and this companion is a lovely Hongxiu - you can eliminate the long reading period. In addition to the loneliness and fatigue of life, what is more important is the warm mood and intoxicating atmosphere created by Hongxiu Tianxiang.

This puts higher and more perfect requirements on Tianxiang’s red sleeves. The dress of the red sleeves should be the style of women in Chen Yifei's oil painting world: the upper body is a Chinese-style gown with a high vertical collar, diagonal breasts, and gold piping. Of course, there are also wide and comfortable red sleeves that expose the jade wrists; the lower body is dressed in a simple and elegant dress. The floor-length skirt; the soft hair is pulled back into a bun; the face is clear-cut, vivid and flashing with supernatural brilliance, but it is not as real as bright eyes and white teeth, because it is too real. Instead, it becomes unreal, just like the realistic and illusory visual effects shown in oil paintings. Under the light and shadow of history, this image has been thoughtfully processed and polished by generations of scholars, and is finally fixed and stored in the depths of people's minds.

In addition to having a good image, Hongxiu must also have an elegant temperament. She must be both beautiful and smart. She is three-dimensional and dynamic. She can know hot and cold, know the heart and lungs, and feel joy and sorrow; she can write poems and paintings, play the harp and harp, and cut the western window. In short, she is not just a painting, she is a confidante with flesh and blood, connotation, thoughts and spirituality.

With the most important premise and the most important role of Red Sleeves, we can open the wings of imagination and fly in the time and space of history.

We have reason to imagine such a scene: a table, a chair, a green lamp and a room full of heavy ancient scrolls, reflecting the thin and lonely figure of the scholar. Outside the window, the moonlight was like water, or it was raining and snowing, and occasionally there were one or two distant barks, adding a bit of mystery to the night. At this time, the door shaft "squeaked", and first a red lantern flashed in, lighting up the misty light, and then the light figure we had been waiting for for a long time came gracefully. As a result, there was warmth, vitality, vitality, poetry and a warm atmosphere in the small house.

Due to the limitations and cruelty of history and reality, "Tianxiang Xiang" cannot come true for many scholars. So people began to weave some stories, novels, operas and poems about talented people and beautiful women to comfort the scholars. Among them, the most famous one is "The Romance of the West Chamber". Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying fell in love at first sight. Cui Yingying waited in the west chamber for the moon, while Zhang Sheng jumped over the wall to keep the appointment; Zhang Sheng read at night, and Cui Yingying came to add fragrance to the red sleeves. Although there were many twists and turns, the moon was full in the end. This story makes many readers intoxicated, obsessed, crazy, and eager to try it. Although the story of Xu Xian and White Snake is bizarre, it still attracts many readers. The flower demons and fox fairies in "Liao Zhai" who "come at midnight and leave at dawn" have also added a lot of hope and comfort to many readers.

Looking back at history, whether it is a real existence or a phantom in the mirror, it has indeed brought some romantic sentiment to scholars of all ages. It adds a bit of bright color to the boring study life of scholars. Even as a fantasy, sometimes it can lift the heavy curtain of history and reality, allowing readers to temporarily put down the heavy books in their hands and the tiredness in their hearts, so that they can let themselves and their hearts fly.

However, today, the value concept of quick success and quick gain has compressed and transformed scholars into a module that can only act according to instructions. The noisy and impetuous space can no longer tolerate romantic sentiment, annoying and boring Life has closed the window to the fairy tale world for too long, and Hongxiu Tianxiang is left with only a beautiful story shell, an out-of-reach dream that is about to be disillusioned.

I feel helpless for the pallor in the spiritual space of scholars, and even more saddened by the lack of a classical cultural sentiment and cultural temperament in society.
