论贾迎春住处名的隐喻

On the Metaphor of Jia Yingchun’s Residence Name

《红楼梦》中贾迎春的住处有缀锦楼和紫菱洲两种说法,其中缀锦楼存在较大争议,主流观点认为缀锦楼因与缀锦阁犯重而被曹雪芹弃用。实际上,缀锦楼与紫菱洲可以共存,缀锦楼与缀锦阁也并非简单的重名,缀锦楼这个名字隐藏了曹雪芹的构思过程。曹雪芹用“锦”来指代如花的女儿和富贵繁华的贾府,他很可能想要借用缀锦楼与缀锦阁之间的暗地关合,来暗示贾迎春的命运及贾家的败落过程。

In A Dream of Red Mansions,there are two versions of Jia Yingchun's residence name,namely Zhuijin House and Zi Lingzhou House,the existence of the former one being controversial.The mainstream view is that Zhuijin House was abandoned by Cao Xueqin because of its duplication with Zhuijin Pavilion.In fact,Zhuijin House and Zhuijin Pavilion can coexist and the two are not simple duplication.Zhuijin House was not an abandoned name,and even if it was,it's worthy of attention because of Cao Xueqin's conception process implied in it.“Jin” was used to refer to girls as beautiful as flowers and the rich and prosperous Jia family.It was possible that Cao also wanted to imply the fate of Jia Yinchun and the fall of the Jia family through the connection between Zhujin House and Zhujin Pavilion.
