: Two dead trees with a jade belt hanging from them; There is another pile of snow, and there is a golden hairpin under the snow.
verdict: it's a pity to stop the machine, but it's a pity to praise the talents! Jade belts are hung in the forest and buried in the snow.
Comment:
Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, one is an orphan girl who lives under a sponsor, and the other is the daughter of a royal businessman; One is naive and straightforward, and one is extremely shrewd; One is isolated and the other is supported by many parties; One is a confidant of the judge, and the other is a moralist. Zhi Yanzhai once said that "women and Dai are one", and the exact explanation can be studied; But it is undoubtedly not to deny the difference or opposition between Lin and Xue. The author puts them together in a poem, not only because they are in the same position in the novel, but also through the comparison of Jia Baoyu's different attitudes towards them, so as to show that the fate of Chai Dai is different, but the result is a tragedy.
2. Yuan Chun's
painting: a bow with citron hanging on it.
verdict: in the past twenty years, judging right from wrong, the pomegranate blossoms shine in the palace; Three spring struggles for the early spring scenery, and the tiger and rabbit meet and dream home.
Comment:
Jiafu ranks first among the four families because it has the most wealth and power, and this is because it has a big backer-Jia Yuanchun, which ensures this status. Jia Fu, a respected minister for generations, has become a relative of the country because of her. Therefore, the first half of the novel focuses on the plots of "only choosing Fengzao Palace", "sealing virtuous princess" and "mothering" in Yuan Chun, and tries to describe Jia Fu's "cooking oil with fierce fire and flowers blooming with brocade". However, "luxury is enviable, but parting is embarrassing." If you win a false reputation, who knows the joys and sorrows? " Let's see the scene of Yuan Chun's returning home to meet his relatives in a private room. Behind the "splendor", we can see the tragic situation of the separation of flesh and blood. Yuan Chun said a word and cried a word, describing the palace ouchi as a "shady place" with no interest at all, just like coming out of a place where she was imprisoned by claustrophobia. Cao Xueqin's powerful brushwork reveals the splendor admired by the feudal class. For a noble woman like Jia Yuanchun, it is still an abyss, and she has to pay the price of losing her freedom.
However, all this is not the foreshadowing of the subsequent plot development. After mothering, Yuan Chun's return to the palace seemed to be a parting, but in fact it was a parting. She lost not only freedom, but also her life. Therefore, writing about the grand occasion of Jia's family brought by the dignitaries in Yuan Chun is also to indicate that her death later sheltered the destruction of Jia's tree, and made a contrast to the miserable situation after Jia's defeat and confiscation. Fat criticism points out that the death of Yuan Fei, like Jia Jia's defeat and Dai Yu's death, is "a great festival and a key to the whole book". However, in the existing sequel to the last forty chapters, this turning point has not been shown. On the contrary, the sequel praised Yuan Chun's death, saying that "excessive phlegm" caused illness because of "the holy one's grand body fat as soon as possible", as if her death was enough to show the majesty of the emperor.
Among the characters in A Dream of Red Mansions, those who are short-lived have convincing reasons, but the reason why Yuan Chun died young is unknown. This in itself is thought-provoking. It is impossible to infer how the author wrote it from the word "tiger meets rabbit" Some words in "Hate Impermanence" are also very strange, such as Yuan Chun's "wandering leisurely, consuming the soul" and "looking at his hometown, the road is far away and the mountains are high". If Yuan Chun later died in the palace, it would not be too far for Jia Fu, who was built in the west of the Emperor's City. It would be difficult to understand such things as "the road is far away and the mountains are high" and "seeking advice from each other". This can only be an unsolved case now. However, one thing is clearly written in the song, that is, Yuan Chun cried to his parents in the form of a dream, saying, "My son's life is in the grave, and my family needs to step back and leave early!" Isn't this clearly asking relatives to take her own swallowed their anger and die as a warning, and get away from officialdom as soon as possible to avoid the impending disaster? Therefore, Yuan Chun's death not only marked the political downfall of the faction represented by the four major families, but also sounded the death knell of Jia's downfall, and she herself was completely a victim of the feudalistic ruling class's internal strife. In this way, Cao Xueqin, who claimed "no interference in the times", boldly opened a corner of the political curtain, letting people see the dirty activities of the various factions in the feudal ruling group behind it from the ups and downs of a feudal family. Jia Tanchun's words "I wish you would eat me, and I would eat you" have a profound meaning, so we might as well understand them from this aspect.
3. Spring Festival in the official book
Painting: a wolf chasing a beautiful woman-the meaning of desire.
verdict: the son is a Zhongshan wolf, and if he succeeds, he will be mad. Golden boudoir flowers and willows, a load to the pipe.
Comment:
Ying Chun, the second young lady of Jia's family, is honest, incompetent, timid and afraid of things, which is why she has the nickname "Ermu". Not only is she inferior to her sisters in poetry guessing, but she only knows how to let others bully her, and takes an indifferent attitude towards the contradictions and disputes around her. Her pearls and jewels were taken to gamble, and she didn't pursue them; Others tried to get it back for her, and she said, "I'd rather not have it, why bother"; When things started to go wrong, she ignored it, but took a copy of "Too Sensation" to read it herself. Copy and check the Grand View Garden, and the chess player is expelled. Although Yingchun felt "reluctant for years" and shed tears, Siqi begged her to intercede, but she didn't even say a word. Such a timid person will eventually have a tragic ending, which is really inevitable in the social environment at that time.
it seems that yingchun elephant was eaten by "Zhongshan wolf, heartless beast". in fact, it was the whole feudal patriarchal clan system that swallowed her up. Her mother died when she was a child, and her father Jia She and Mrs. Xing showed no pity for her. Jia She owed the saying 5,2 silver, and marrying her was actually equivalent to paying her debts. At the beginning, although some people discouraged this marriage, there was nothing anyone could do, because the marriage of children depended on their parents. Later, Yingchun went back to Jia's house to cry about the abuse she had suffered in Sun's family. Although everyone was very sad, she was helpless. Because the married daughter belonged to her husband's family, she had to bear to send her back to the wolf's den.
In the daughter country of Daguanyuan, Yingchun is a typical representative who became a victim of feudal arranged marriage. Through her unfortunate ending, the author exposed and accused the evil of this marriage system, which is an objective fact that no one can deny. However, some people just want to record the credit for opposing the feudal marriage system in the account of Cheng Weiyuan and Gao E's continuation books, thinking that the continuation books also have higher value than Cao Xue's original works, that is, the so-called "having a deeper anti-feudal significance-exposing the freedom of marriage in feudal society", thus "having a greater anti-feudal role among readers". Even think, "marriage is not free. In A Dream of Red Mansions, it touches the clues of the whole book. This is nothing more than saying that the sequel to Bao Dai's tragedy, the tragedy of the martyr's family caused by the marriage is not free, has improved the ideological content of the original work. Our views are just the opposite. The so-called "deeper anti-feudal significance", as mentioned above, the original is already there. Although A Dream of Red Mansions exposes the evils of feudal marriage, it is by no means a book with the theme or main line of opposing the freedom of marriage. Taking this as a "full clue" will naturally change the broad exposure of the dark theme of feudal society in this highly political novel, change the main line of the novel showing the decline of the four major families in the political struggle within the feudal ruling class, limit the basic contradictions to a small range of families, and draw readers' attention to the issue of love and marriage between men and women, which is really the love of children. This is really the sequel author's distortion of the original spirit.
4. Tanchun in Zhengquan Judgment
Painting: Two people flying kites, a sea, a big boat, and a woman in the boat, hiding her face and crying.
verdict: talent is smart, ambition is high, born in the last days, luck is biased. Qingming tears are sent to the riverside to look, and the east wind is a dream away.
Comment:
Tan Chun, the third young lady of Jia's family, is nicknamed "Rose". Her ideological character is in sharp contrast with her sister "Ermutou" who is also an unmarried woman. She is smart, scheming and decisive. Even Xifeng and Mrs. Wang are afraid of her and give her some points. In her consciousness, the feudal hierarchical concept of distinguishing between master and servant is particularly deep. The reason why she is so contemptuous and heartless to her biological mother, Aunt Zhao, is that a man in the position of a concubine dares to cross this line and offend her dignity as a master. In Tan Chun's view, copying the Grand View Garden is more serious than anything else. She "ordered the maid to hold the candle and wait for the door", and only allowed others to search their own cabinets and not to touch her maid's things, and there was absolutely no room for manoeuvre. This is also to try to maintain the prestige and dignity of being a master in front of servants. "There is no plan in my heart." Wang Shanbao's family didn't understand this, so he got a slap on the spot. Tanchun was deeply touched by the crisis that Jia's mansion was about to collapse, and she wanted to use the minor reform of "promoting advantages and eliminating disadvantages" to save the decline of this feudal family. But this can only be overworked, to no avail.
For people like Tan Chun, the author has class preference and class sympathy. However, the author did not violate the objective authenticity of history and characters, but still described this image very profoundly and truthfully wrote the inevitable outcome of her "born in the last days." The plot written in the original is different from that written in the sequel. "after the three spring leaves, all the fragrance is exhausted." Yingchun got married, which was written eighty times ago; Yuan Chun's death and Tan Chun's marriage were all written before Jia Fu's defeat, and may be written soon after the eighties. In this way, after 198' s, there will be waves of unrest, and the plot will develop quite rapidly. It will never be as loose and boring as the continuation of the author's "Four Beauty Fishing".
5. Cherish Spring in the Book of Judgments
Painting: An ancient temple, in which there is a beautiful woman sitting alone reading the scriptures.
Judgment:
It can be seen that the spring scenery is not long, and the clothes are changed to the makeup of the previous year. Poor embroidered housemaid, lying alone beside the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng.
Comment:
Jia Xichun's "exploration of the Three Springs" does not mean that she is the most knowledgeable and can understand the true meaning of life among the sisters in the Grand View Garden. On the contrary, in the novel, the author deeply dissects Xichun, showing us the subjective and objective reasons why she chose this life path. Objectively speaking, she is the youngest of the four sisters of Jia's family. When she gradually became sensible, she was exposed to the scene of the decline of Jia's family. The declining fate of four big families and the unfortunate ending of three sisters made her worry about her future. Since everything in reality lost its appeal to her, she had the idea of dying. Subjectively, it is her aloof and indifferent character, which is shaped by the environment. This is a typical self-interested world view. People say that she is a cold-hearted person, and her own philosophy of life is "I can only keep myself." When checking the Grand View Garden, she insisted on her teeth and drove away the maid who had no fault, but was indifferent to the tears and sorrows of others, which was the typical performance of her callousness. Therefore, when Jia Fu was completely defeated, it was the only way for her to escape the internal strife of the ruling class and save herself. It has actually become a criticism of religion to describe the spiritual outlook of people who converted to religion in such a realistic way, and never add a mysterious spiritual aperture to their heads, because Cao Xueqin used his artistic skill to "pick off those illusory flowers decorated on chains." Similarly, Cao Xueqin did not regard Xichun's conversion to Buddhism according to the Buddhist theory, but described her destination according to the logic of reality and life. "Poor embroidered housemaid, lying alone beside the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng!" In the original manuscript, the situation of her "begging for food without clothes" is much more tragic than that written in the sequel.
6. Xifeng's
painting: an iceberg with a female phoenix on the mountain.
verdict: all birds who come from the last days know that they love this life. It's even more sad to cry to Jinling when you obey two orders and three people are stunned.
Comment:
Wang Xifeng's Jia family's de facto establishment. She presided over Rong, assisted Ning Guofu, and was the traffic official, doing whatever she wanted. This is a very political figure, not a housewife of an ordinary aristocratic family. Her distinctive feature is "playing for power", grasping power with one hand and money with the other, which fully shows the power lust and greed of the exploiting class. Wang Xifeng is not only a person, but also represents a class. It is not only Wang Xifeng's personal fate, but also the image portrayal of the dying feudal class and the complete collapse of the reactionary social system they represent.
in "Smart and Tired", "The authorities are too clever, but they have calculated your life!" These two sentences tell the law of * * * of all reactionary classes that are heading for decline. Wang Xifeng is the leading "last-time talent" among the four big families. During her short years in power, she did her best to change the situation and be cruel and mean, and created many evils. Several people died directly at her hands. All this is just to prepare for her own final downfall. According to Cao Xueqin's original intention, the ending of this Jiamen bully is very bad. From the criticism, we can know that the second half of the manuscript has the following plots:
1. Being convicted of leaving home, I was in the prison temple with Baoyu. The reason is nothing more than the disclosure of her crimes such as collecting money and killing people. For example, if an unmarried couple is forced to commit suicide and enjoy a section of 3,2 pieces of silver, the fat group points out: "The manufacturer does not know how to cancel the payment, but he knows it." "If you don't have to write about it in detail, you will know what he did in his life, and when you look back, you will not blame him for his painful state." When she was away from home, Grandma Liu also met her at the prison temple. In addition, Xiao Hong, Qian Xue and others met Xi Feng in the prison temple.
second, sweep the snow with a broom in the Grand View Garden. This should be after being convicted of going out and returning to Jiafu after some twists and turns. Zhi Pi said that in front of the hall of Yi Hong Yuan, "it will be the place where Xi Feng sweeps away snow and picks up jade"
Third, she was abandoned by her husband and "cried to Jinling". Judging from the 21 ST chronological order, she found that the hair of many girls hidden by her husband was a fuse. The husband took this opportunity to fall out and abandon it. At that time, Xifeng's "little luck" made her suffer humiliation, which was a far cry from the "A Feng Ying Qi" when "Qiao Pinger spoke softly to save Jia Lian". So the second half of that time was called "Wang Xifeng, a Strong Hero in know life".
fourth, looking back on the pain, I died short-lived. You's wife said to Xi-feng, "I'll take the messenger in the coffin tomorrow." Fat criticism: "This statement is true, and it will be short-lived after lying down."
in a word, Xifeng's bitter ending was a bitter result, not a fate in the world.
7. Xiang Yun's
painting in the official book: a few wisps of flying clouds, a bay of lost water.
verdict: what is wealth? Parental disobedience between infants; Show your eyes and hang the oblique light, and the Xiangjiang River dies in Chu Yunfei.
Comment:
A Dream of Red Mansions appeared in the face of "writing children's pen and ink", which was due to the author's concern about the political environment at that time. Therefore, many women representing different personalities and types portrayed in the book, from the point of view that their images are based on real life, are cut, refined and integrated into the personality and details of the prototype characters in the novel, which may not be limited to women. In the daughter country of Daguan Garden, Shi Xiangyun is the most obvious man with the spirit of powder. she
