脂砚斋 / Zhiyanzhai

In 183.李商隐和红楼梦:偏僻性乖张,那管世人诽谤!, 脂砚斋 matters because a批语 on 北静王 praising [[JiaBaoyu|贾宝玉]] says “开口便是西昆体”. The episode reads this as an important clue that the [[HongLouMeng|《红楼梦》]] commentary tradition recognizes and values a Li-Shangyin-adjacent poetic register inside the novel.

The page is source-scoped because the episode does not settle who Zhiyanzhai was or how close the commentator was to [[CaoXueqin|曹雪芹]]. It uses the comment as support for 玉溪一脉入红楼 / Yuxi Into Honglou, while leaving the stronger biographical implications to Interpretation And Overinterpretation caution.
