王熙凤判词新释

A New Interpretation of the Verdict of Wang Xifeng

《红楼梦》王熙凤判词当作如是解:(1)"凡鸟偏从末世来",则此凤为"假瑞",谐"贾瑞"二字;(2)"都知爱慕此生才",暗讽王熙凤有才而无德、无识;(3)"二令"即皇帝抄家之命;"三人"合为"夾"字,"夹木"即枷锁、夹棍等刑具,暗示王熙凤遭受刑辱之事;(4)"哭向金陵",系指王熙凤死后魂返警幻案前,归入"金陵十二钗"正册。

The verdict of ＂Wang Xifeng＂ in a dream of red mansions should be illustrated as follow： （1） ＂凡鸟＂ is very talented, but the occasion she was born is in decline＂, so the phoenix is a ＂False （Jia） Rui＂, a homophone of ＂Jia Rui＂; （2） ＂Everyone envies her extraordinary financial management ability,＂ hinting that she has talent of fmance but has no moral character and knowledge; （3） ＂two orders＂ means the command of confiscating property from the emperor. ＂三人＂ combine into ＂夹＂, ＂wood clip＂ is a kind of instrument of torture like shackle, clamping rods and etc, hinting that ＂Wang Xifeng has been cruelly injured or humiliated with torture; （4） ＂Cry to Jin Ling＂ means that the soul of Wang Xifeng return in front of disenchantment table, being classified as the regular register of ＂Jin Ling Twelve Beauties＂.
