In "A Dream of Red Mansions", Cao Gong's identity position for Qingwen is: the maid of Jia's house, ranked first in the list of twelve beauties in Jinling, and the most favored maid around Baoyu. This is Extremely high positioning, why is it so? Because there is a word called "Qing is Daiying". In Cao Gong's writing, Qingwen and Lin Daiyu are very similar in appearance, personality and ending. The following is mainly Qingwen, combined with "Qing is Daiying", briefly Talk about the similarities between him and Lin Daiyu.
Qingwei Daiying is first reflected in appearance.
What is the beauty of flowers and moonlight? After reading A Dream of Red Mansions, we can find the answer. Among the women of the Jia family, Lin Daiyu’s appearance is very outstanding. Otherwise, Wang Xifeng would not be amazed when he first saw Daiyu: "There are such beautiful people in the world! I just saw it today." "" Jia Baoyu would not comment on him in his heart: "The eyebrows look like they are frowning but not frowning, the eyes look like they are happy but not joyful, their expressions are full of sorrow, and their delicate bodies are full of tears. Breathing slightly. She is as quiet as a delicate flower shining in the water, and her movements are like a weak willow supporting the wind. She is as sick as Xi Zi Sheng San. He also said that she is a "slim and graceful daughter" and "a fairy-like sister". And King Beijing, who had never met him before, would not have yearned for Daiyu when he learned about her through Jia Baoyu. This shows how beautiful Daiyu is, and it is no wonder that Baoyu is so obsessed with her.
Qing is the shadow of Dai, and Qingwen's beauty is not inferior to that of Daiyu, but similar to hers. For example, in the article Wang Shanbao's family commented on Qingwen's appearance like this: "Qingwen in the Baoyu House, that girl is prettier than others because of her appearance, and a clever mouth, and she dresses like a girl every day Xi Tzu's appearance is that she can talk well in front of people, and she has to be strong at the tip. If she doesn't comment on a word, she will raise her two sexy eyes to curse people." "She dresses like Xi Tzu every day" compared with Baoyu's "heart-to-heart" Sister Lin is very similar to "if you do more work, you will be as sick as Xizi and get three points better". After listening to Wang Shanbao's words, Mrs. Wang's memory of Qingwen was: "Last time we went to the garden with the old lady, there was a She has a slim waist, narrow shoulders, and her eyebrows are a bit like those of your sister Lin. She is scolding the little girl... This girl must be her." Mrs. Wang thinks that Daiyu and Qingwen have similar eyebrows, so we can know that everyone in the Jia family thinks that Qingwen Wen and Daiyu have similar looks. No wonder Jia Baoyu always looks up to Qingwen, always defends her and pities her. Qing is Daiying. Because of Daiyu, Qingwen's status in Baoyu's heart is also higher.
Qingwei Daiying mainly reflects the character aspect.
Qingwen and Daiyu are not only similar in appearance, but also similar in character. Here is a brief discussion of their ability, innocence and arrogance.
The abilities of Daiyu and Qingwen are reflected in different aspects. Daiyu gives people the image of a weak woman. Why are she and Qingwen said to be both capable? From the book, we know that Daiyu comes from a scholarly family and has been educated since she was a child. We can know this from the chapter about her entering the Jia family. The reason why we think Daiyu is capable stems from the section in the book that describes her copying books for Baoyu. Baoyu Jia Zheng, who was about to return to Beijing, checked his homework. No one could do anything about it, but Daiyu quietly copied Baoyu's calligraphy in her room and copied it for him. When he saw this paragraph, he was first moved by her thoughtfulness and affection. After thinking about it carefully, I feel that she is very capable. After all, in the whole Jia family, she is the only one who can copy other people's calligraphy and master it. Of course, she only copies Baoyu's calligraphy. This is out of love. Qingwen is a maid, so naturally she has to be more capable to win the favor of her master. However, Qingwen's ability is not in copying, but in the nünren aspect. From Jia Mu's evaluation in the book, we can see: "The appearance and speech of these girls Sharpness, needlework, and more are not as good as hers." And she is indeed capable, otherwise how could she repair Baoyu's bird-gold fur coat in just one night, which made others helpless. Qing is Daiying, and Qingwen, like Daiyu, has some skills that others do not have.
The innocence of Daiyu and Qingwen is commendable. Daiyu's innocence is mainly reflected in Daiyu's burial of flowers. During the Flower Festival, she went alone to sweep and bury flowers. Faced with Baoyu's doubts, she bluntly said: "It is not good to leave them in the water. Look at the water here. It was clean and only flowed out. The place where there were people was dirty and smelly, and the flower bed was still ruined.
I have a flower grave on that crooked corner. Now I have swept it away, put it in this silk bag, and buried it with soil. It will just fade away with the soil over time. Wouldn’t it be clean?” As soon as these words came out, the girl’s innocence It is absolutely obvious. Logically speaking, it is understandable that Daiyu, as a wealthy lady, should remain innocent. Qingwen, as a maid, is at the bottom of society, suffering from oppression and slavery, and should be full of disappointment in life, but she tore up the fan. But Qingwen's behavior makes people feel that she is innocent. The fans that Qingwen tore were all made by famous people. They were given to Jia Zheng by others to please him, which shows that they are valuable. However, Qingwen tore such a precious fan into pieces, only Because I like to hear the sound of ripping fans. In addition to reflecting the luxury of the Jia family and Baoyu's love for Qingwen, we can also see Qingwen's innocence. If it were Xiren and other maids who got so many fans painted by famous artists, It should be exchanged for money or treasured, but Qingwen is contrary to everyone, so it is not unreasonable to think that Qing is Daiying, and the innocence of Daiyu and Qingwen is both precious and fragile in the feudal family of Jia Mansion. , the flowers are gone and the flowers are flying all over the sky, and the beauty is gone, who can pity her? It's a pity that the fragility of innocence cannot withstand the crushing of reality. This is probably one of the reasons why the two of them do not live long.
Daiyu. He Qingwen's arrogance runs through the whole text. Daiyu's arrogance can be seen from the scene of sending flowers to the palace in Chapter 7 and the scene of cutting sachets in Chapter 18. Lin Daiyu's arrogance is the product of a combination of self-esteem and inferiority. Self-esteem. It is the self-confidence in her talents. The inferiority complex comes from the sensitivity to her own identity. The sensitivity of her identity is due to being dependent on others. The secular perspective makes her act cautiously. In order not to hurt herself, she has to put on airs and act with arrogance. This is also the pitiful thing about orphans. It is their confidence in their own family background, and their sensitivity is an excessive cover-up of their inferiority complex. Wen is extremely self-respecting and self-loving, and never flatters her master. This can be seen from the fact that she would rather die than please Mrs. Wang in the end. She also never expects Baoyu's favor, unlike other maids who are all servile and fawning. This is because she repeatedly rejected Baoyu. Xiren repeatedly ridiculed Baoyu and tried her best to please her. In addition, Qingwen's appearance was extraordinary, and even Jia's mother wanted to give her to Baoyu as a maid. For some reason, Daiyu and Qingwen are very similar in their arrogance. They are also alienated from others due to their own arrogance and have very few friends. The difference is that Qingwen is a maid, so it is not difficult to understand why Mrs. Wang insists on Qingwen is driven out of Jia's house. Qingwen is the only slave in "A Dream of Red Mansions" who does not have the appearance of a slave.
Qing is Daiying, and the ending is similar to that of Daiyu and Qing. Wendu died of illness because of Baoyu. When Daiyu was 17 years old, she was extremely sad when she learned that Baoyu was going to marry Xue Baochai. She died of illness alone on Baoyu and Baochai's wedding night, which became a big regret in "Dream of Red Mansions". Before Daiyu died, she was driven out of Jia's house by Mrs. Wang on unfounded charges when she was 16 years old. She died of a painful illness on the night she met Yu Baoyu, and her end was miserable. Both Daiyu and Qingwen were among the Twelve Beauties of Jinling. , both are extremely beautiful and noble fairies. After the death of the two, Baoyu was very sad and wrote the "Elegy of the Lotus Daughter" for Qingwen. He missed people when he saw things, and he did not hesitate to abandon his wife and children for Daiyu, and decided to become a monk. It can be seen that the two of them In Baoyu's heart, he has a high status and weight. Qing is Dai Ying, and the life of Qing Wen and Dai Yu is a sad and beautiful life, a sad and deplorable life. Daiyu's life was in line with Cao Gong's judgment that "the jade belt hangs in the forest", "The moon is rare, and the colorful clouds are easy to disperse. Her heart is higher than the sky, but her body is humble. Her romantic and clever nature attracts people's resentment, and her longevity is mostly due to slander." "The sentimental young master cares about me in vain", this is Cao Gong's sentence to Qingwen, and it is the epitome of Qingwen's short life.
