In fact, Cai Yuanqi has never given up on the indexing party.

The Suoyin School is a riddle guessing school and a secret history school in the Redology.

The secret history is used to deny literature and historical nature, and through the literal form, homophones, characters are used, words such as disassembly, hiding, riddles, prophecies and divination, and people and events in history or rumors are used to append "Dream of Red Mansions".

This will examine the "things hidden, the people hidden" and fabricate various secret history.

Lu Xun's comment is: Rumors saw the secret history of the palace.

For example, in "The Stone Records Suoyin", Cai Yuanqi believed that Jia Baoyu was the meaning of the imperial seal, which alluded to the deposed crown prince Yinreng during the Kangxi period.

In this era, the statement of this kind of palace secret history was very attractive. It linked "Dream of Red Mansions" with the Qing Dynasty royal family and finally concluded that "Dream of Red Mansions" is a political novel.

"The author is very nationalistic. The ability in the book is to upset the demise of the Ming Dynasty and to expose the mistakes of the Qing Dynasty, especially those famous Han scholars who served in the Qing Dynasty, which expresses regret."

At this time, the passion for proposing to "oppose the Qing Dynasty" when the Xinhai Revolution broke out has not yet subsided, and most people have the sentiment of "nationalism". Therefore, "Shuoyin" was widely circulated at that time.

For a time, Cai Yuanqi became the master of the index school.

In 1921, Hu Shi published "Dream of Red Mansions" and pointed the finger at his boss Cai Yuan's compensation.

He pointed out without hesitation that Cai Yuan's compensation for Suo Yin was a far-fetched method of "big stupid man guessing stupid riddles", and believed that the principal and his "relative and friends" had gone the wrong way.

This began the dispute between Cai and Hu in the history of Redology.

During this period, in order to establish the status of the textual school, Hu Shi searched everywhere for the book "Si Songtang Collection" which recorded Cao Xueqin's life experience. Just when he was disheartened and almost desperate, Cai Yuan compensated his friend to borrow the book for him.

From then on, Hu Shi established the textual school of "Dream of Red Mansions".

In addition, there are criticism and creative schools.

Lu Xun is a representative figure of the criticism school, and he has a miscellaneous discussion on "Dream of Red Mansions" in his "A Brief History of Chinese Novels".

He believes that the Redology has two red lines: one is to adhere to literary appreciation in terms of methods, deny verification, search for hiddenness, and explore loss; the other is to adhere to the "human theory" in terms of content, deny "autobiography" and "secret history theory".

This is to bring Hongxue back to "Dream of Red Mansions" itself and back to literary appreciation.

Creative style refers to re-creating based on "Dream of Red Mansions", which is actually equivalent to the fan novel of "Dream of Red Mansions".

Of course, we have to mention Wang Guowei here. He published the book "A Review of Dream of Red Mansions" in 1904, using Western philosophical thoughts to analyze "Dream of Red Mansions" to explore the value of the novel's aesthetics and ethics.

This is the first truly comparative study paper on Chinese and Western literature in the history of Chinese literature research.

His research perspective is quite special and he is considered a self-developed school.

Lin Zixuan roughly sorted out the research on "Dream of Red Mansions" and found that Liu Xinwu's "Revealing the Dream of Red Mansions" is not very suitable for this era. It actually belongs to the school of exploring the Illusion in Redology.

After all, Liu Xinwu is just a writer, not a researcher in the Redology. Many of the things he talks about are the conjectures and imaginations of writers, without substantial evidence.

The research on Redology is too extensive, and all factions stick to their own ideas, making it difficult to convince others.

Even in later generations, some scholars believe that the author of "Dream of Red Mansions" is not Cao Xueqin, but another person surnamed Cao. Cao Xueqin is just an illusory character, and Gao E did not continue writing "Dream of Red Mansions", which is complete.

Therefore, it is very common for everyone to hold their own opinions in literary research.

Lin Zixuan did not plan to write a book of Hongxue monograph that convinced all parties, unless he could travel to Cao Xueqin's era, watch Cao Xueqin write a book with his own eyes, and then record the evidence.

Even so, it is difficult to satisfy everyone.

He planned to follow the path of the textual school, and the "New Certificate of Dream of Red Mansions" published by Zhou Ruchang in the future, plus some other people's research results to form his own lecture content.

Zhou Ruchang is a master of the Redology research and the master of the textual research school.

As long as Lin Zixuan does not make any mistakes in the general direction and has the memory in his mind, it is still okay to talk about "Dream of Red Mansions" in college. Anyway, he just deals with his errands.

Because he is busy, he plans to give a class at Fudan University every week, which is considered an elective course for students.

While he was collecting information to prepare lessons, the serialization of "The Legend of Qin" ended.

As the originator of time travel novels, "The Legend of Qin" caused a lot of response at the beginning, but later it became a pastime novel, which has something to do with its content.

After all, it's a cool book.

Apart from the gimmick of time travel, it does not have much literary value and cannot be recognized by mainstream literary forces. Even the novels of the Mandarin Duck Butterfly School are not as good as those of them.

After all, in Shanghai, novels from the Mandarin duck butterfly school are mainstream.

When the novelty of "The Legend of Qin" has passed, it can only attract a group of fixed readers, which are subscribers to "Popular Novel Weekly".

At the end of "The Legend of Qin", Xiang Shaolong and Qin Shihuang became enemies and had to go far away to the northern grasslands.

A foreshadowing was laid here, that is, Xiang Shaolong's child changed his name to "Xiang Yu".

Although the novel is over, readers see this ending and think that there should be a sequel, telling the story of Xiang Yu overthrowing the Qin Dynasty. This setting is still very attractive to think about.

However, the "Popular Novel Weekly" published the author Huang Yi's statement.

Because of life reasons, the author stopped writing and no longer wrote novels.

The statement aroused the discussion among readers, and they wrote to the newspapers asking for an explanation.

What can I say? Lin Zixuan doesn’t want to write it under this pen name anymore. You say “The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty”, please, there are millions of words, when will he write it?

Moreover, at the end of the writing of "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", it was obviously impossible to grasp it, and had to end it in a hurry.

Lin Zixuan wanted to write about pioneering subjects. Apart from the large number of words, "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" does not have the characteristics of establishing a sect.

He doesn't plan to write such novels anymore, so let the pseudonym Huang Yi disappear completely.

Therefore, Huang Yi, a writer who has only written one novel but disappeared, became a mystery, which made readers feel very sorry.

Ping Jinya felt it was a pity that this pseudonym had a fixed readership, so he could find someone to write similar novels on his behalf to make money. Giving up like this would be a waste of resources.

However, he knew Lin Zixuan's personality and knew that this big boss was a good person, so he could only publish "The Legend of Qin" as soon as possible to make the final profit.

Ping Jinya didn't say it right. Lin Zixuan didn't lack money, but needed a lot of money.
