【Qin Xiao Wen Rhyme】
Text/Qin Lu Xiao
For the woman Li Changru in the 2016 hit drama "Splendid Wei Yang", there are detractors and pity. I, on the other hand, bemoan her in the early stages and belittled her in the later stages.
Li Changru, talented and with a heart higher than the sky, was devastated by a poor background. Looking at her at the beginning, I occasionally think of Jia Tanchun, one of my favorite women in "Dream of the Red Chamber".
Tanchun is Jia Zheng's daughter, Jia Baoyu's half-sister, and the third lady of Jia Province, but compared to Baoyu, her level of honor is discounted. Only because she has congenital deficiencies, it is not from the main room. Her birth mother was the aunt Zhao who was disgusted as soon as she appeared; her brother was Jia Huan, who was always worthless compared to Bao Yu. Even though in theory the children born of concubines were to be attributed to the name of the right wife, the clever Tanchun knew that this was only a theory. She is "self-shrewd and self-exalted", far more responsible than Baoyu, but everything that Baoyu can easily get, for her, must pay more. What is even more stifling is that in the feudal society where men are inferior to women and concubines are different, even if she devotes herself to everything, she cannot win everything equal to Baoyu.
As for Chang Ru, although she is not Shu out, she is the concubine of the second room of Li Mansion and the third lady of Li Mansion, but compared with Li Changle, the concubine of Li Mansion, her level of honor is still discounted. Changle, known as the first beautiful woman in the Northern Wei Dynasty, her father is the Shang Shu of the Dynasty, and her mother is the concubine of the Lingyun family, who is heavily armed, and has a strong background. Although Chang Ru is talented and intelligent, her heart is higher than the sky, and she has brains and abilities far more than the beautiful Changle, but because her father is not as powerful as her great uncle, her mother is not as famous as her great aunt, and the head of the Li House is a big house, she is lined with gray face by the eldest sister Changle everywhere. What's more, he was slapped by Changle and cut his hair at will by his great aunt, and his sister-in-law Li Changxi flattered Changle everywhere for a few good snacks and a few good things, and ignored himself at will.
A woman like Chang Ru made me sigh deeply, just as I deeply felt for tanchun. Only because Tanchun and Changru are both frustrated by their poor backgrounds, and they are both unwilling because they have intelligence but do not get ahead; only because their origin and background overwhelm their wisdom and talent; only because the cold door can also produce a noble son is only a theory, not a fact.
It's just that, Tanchun and Changru, these two women with similar frustrations and unwillingness, are different after all.
The background of the spring exploration is limited, but the ambition is high. In order to show her ambitions, she had to curry favor with her mother-in-law, Lady Wang, and at certain special moments, she had to show unusual courage so that Lady Wang would not be disgusted with Wu and Wu because she hated her birth mother. For example, on that occasion, Jia Yu wanted Na Jia Mu's personal servant Mandarin Duck as a concubine, and Jia Mu indiscriminately turned her anger at Lady Wang. Bao Yu and Feng Jie, who had great say and were extremely favored in front of Jia Mu, did not dare to defend it, and only Tan Chun stepped forward at a critical moment: "The big uncle wants to collect the people in the house, how will the little sister-in-law know?" Even if you know, you pretend not to know. Tanchun's words woke up Jia Mu and made Jia Mu quickly apologize to Lady Wang.
However, Tanchun's character is upright and right is clear, and her flattery to Madame Wang is premised on not losing her principles and bottom line. When Madame Wang suspected that the Grand View Garden was hiding dirt and dirt, and sent Feng Jie to copy the Grand View Garden, Bao Yu did not dare to take a stand, Dai Yu slept, Bao Chao Mingzhe protected herself, only Tan Chun led a group of Ya Gui to open the door with candles, and righteously and sternly maintained their self-esteem and self-esteem:
"You are allowed to search my things, but if you want to search my handmaidens, you can't." I was more vicious than everyone else, and I knew all the things of the ladies, and they were all kept between me, and they didn't have any collections of needles and threads, so they only came to search me. You don't follow it, just go back to your wife, only to say that I have disobeyed my wife, how to deal with it, I will go to my own. ”
This remark is sonorous and powerful, like a company leader, when the subordinates are questioned and wronged, they strongly lift up a clear sky for them, and have the wisdom and strength to swear to protect them. Therefore, Tanchun is kind and upright. In addition, her daring to disobey her mother-in-law, Lady Wang, at a critical moment also shows that she has principles and a bottom line. She could not lose her principles and bottom line, and curried favor with Madame Wang by wantonly defiling her innocence and damaging her dignity.
Tanchun has such an upright character, which actually stems from her correct values. She carefully endured and stalked, and her key moments to stand up, of course, are all to stand firm, but she wants to stand firm, never to get pampered, but to maintain the dignity of human beings, to realize the value of women as women, and to show a lofty ambition that matches her talents. Tanchun has always been a woman with a feminine consciousness. When organizing the launch of the first poetry society, Tanchun challenged Baoyu with great affection: "The hero of the Lotus Society, the only xu eyebrows; straight to the Yahui of the Eastern Mountains, let the remaining fat powder." When overseeing the overall situation and the power of the premier's housework for Sister Feng, Tanchun said his inner monologue with a loud voice: "I am a man, I can go out, I will leave early, set up a career, then I have my own reason." I am a girl's family, and I didn't say more than one sentence. Tanchun is soberly aware of the inherent sadness of women, but she never thinks that women should be dependent on men - even if she can't change this fact in feudal society, she still has an extraordinary spirit of competing with men and keeping pace with them in the situation of women being restricted and controlled by their birth mothers. She was dissatisfied with her own identity, she was dissatisfied with the Confucian female morality, she did not want to be attached to anyone but wanted to spell out a splendid life by herself.
Such a woman with a mind, a soul and ambitions, the pursuit of dignity and the pursuit of values, the pursuit of lofty ambitions, and her integrity and kindness have never changed due to difficult circumstances, really have to be praised. She has self-respect and respect for others; she loves herself and loves others. Therefore, she will protect her servants with justice and awe as she did when she inspected the Grand View Garden, just as Ji Xueyuan believes, Tanchun's words and deeds "show a warning of the power of female dissidents, and have extended the relationship with the sisters to the whole world of the girls, that is, the whole daughter world, and is a further development of the female group consciousness."
Of course, some people may say that Tanchun is upright and kind, but she alone is quite extreme and severe to her birth mother, Aunt Zhao, "hundred good filial piety first", Tanchun really deserves a "good" word? What I want to say about this is that Tanchun is not without affection for Aunt Zhao. Once Aunt Zhao went to see Daiyu, and Daiyu knew that she was going to see Tanchun passing by here and be a Shunshui person. Daiyu's "knowing" shows that Tanchun and Aunt Zhao actually often move around. Tanchun also let Aunt Zhao learn from Aunt Zhou's quiet duty, which can remind Aunt Zhao in this way, indicating that Tanchun is sincerely thinking about Aunt Zhao. The discord between Tan Chun and Aunt Zhao actually stems from Aunt Zhao's own inability, and if Tan Chun does not draw a clear line with Aunt Zhao in public, then willn't everyone regard her and Aunt Zhao as a kind of person? Who appreciates her talent and integrity? How else did Madame Wang entrust her with a heavy responsibility? Aunt Zhao is "ugly", Tanchun is "beautiful", and "ugly" and "beautiful" are themselves an opposition. Sandwiched between family affection and ambition, Tanchun is actually miserable, but she has always been in both worlds. This is really a rare good woman.
And Chang Ru, who is also full of frustration and unwillingness, is far from the integrity and correct values of Tanchun.
Chang Ru's situation may be more difficult than that of Tanchun. After all, Tanchun did not trample on her sister everywhere, nor did she neglect her sister at all times, and Baoyu was quite friendly to her. Therefore, even if the initial Chang Ru had a deep heart and used Li Weiyang, who was sincere to her from time to time, he could still be forgiven. After all, at first, she was only working on her own, and she did not destroy humanity, not to mention that she was not without compassion; after all, she grew up in an environment where she was bullied everywhere without love, and it was more normal that she could not dig her heart and lungs out for the second sister Weiyang who was late in coming, not to mention that she was not unmoved by Weiyang's deep affection for her. The original Chang Ru seemed to be standing at a crossroads: if you go to this side, you can be as wise and kind as Wei Yang; if you go that way, you will eventually fall into evil. However, Chang Ru was on the wrong path after all.
Without saying anything, only how Chang Ru treated Wei Yang as a benefactor. If there is no Weiyang, Changle and the big house will not lose their momentum, and Chang Ru and the second room will not rise. Originally, with the help of Wei Yang, Chang Ru's life has begun to go uphill, with her superb IQ, if she also has a righteous character, her life will not be bad after all. However, an unexpected discovery - the Tuoba Yu yu she has loved since she was a child is actually grateful to her, so that she has completely fallen into the sinister and poisonous mire. Therefore, she began to design a design to frame Wei Yang, step by step, wanting to put Wei Yang to death, and did not hesitate to kill many innocent people, such as Wei Yang's personal servant Bai Zhi- that kind and lovely woman, the means were extremely cruel.
A person's character can be corrupted to such an extent. The reason is actually directly related to Chang Ru's incorrect values. Why did Chang Ru choose to go down the path of evil at the crossroads? The roots are in love. Chang Ru said that if it were not for Tuoba Yu falling in love with Wei Yang, she could be a good sister with Wei Yang for a lifetime. I always like to believe that if it were not for love, she would gradually move towards kindness under the true emotion of Wei Yang. She was supposed to be a gentle woman, but she was alienated from her original good nature in the storm of the upheaval of the environment in which she grew up. Unfortunately, for the sake of love, she completely gave up her kindness.
The irony is that Chang Ru's concept of love has always been humble. She thought that Tuoba Yu only had power and no love in her heart, so she did not expect to get Tuoba Yu's love, she just looked forward to becoming the most important woman of Tuoba Yu. In other words, in fact, she is willing to be an accessory to Tuoba Yu, but it must be the most important accessory. Compared with Tanchun's always wanting to compete with men and go hand in hand, is Chang Ru's words and deeds very humble? Some people may think that this is more unfair, because Chang Ru met love, but Tanchun did not. However, what I want to say is that a woman who can say like Tanchun, "Straight to the East of the Mountain, let the residual fat powder" and "I am a man, I can go out, I will leave early, set up a career, then I have a reason", even if she meets love, she will definitely not be as humble as Changru. Because Tanchun's faith is career, not love, nor marriage. Such a woman put into modern society, has a splendid life.
The phrase "there is no herb at the end of the world" actually applies to women. And Tanchun can do it, but Chang Ru can't. If Tanchun also met someone she loved but did not love her, her sadness was inevitable, and it was inevitable to let go. Tanchun is feminine and not willing to be a vassal of men. Tanchun's worries will never be a tribute to emotions, but a regret for not being able to perform grand plans. And Chang Ru's values are always incorrect, and she does not see herself as an independent individual. She is low to the dust in front of Tuoba Yu, reflecting the humble values of women to men who wag their tails and beg for pity. Even if she can't do "there is no herb at the end of the world", she can still impress Tuoba Yu with her heart like the Ninth Princess Tuoba Di who touched Li Minde with her heart. She said that she could tolerate Tuoba Yu not loving her, but she could not tolerate Tuoba Yu having other women in her heart. For the sake of love, she humbled herself in front of Tuoba Yu and destroyed her humanity in front of Li Weiyang.
The mistake of Changru's values is that what she painstakingly pursues is not TuobaYu's true love, but to become Tuobayu's most important appendage. This is her life goal for many years, and it is also the happy destination she has set for herself. To love someone so much that there is no self-esteem or pride is truly humble. If being humble for love can still make people can't help but pity and feel pain, then for the sake of this humble love, the destruction of humanity and the evil heart should really be criticized. There is nothing wrong with love, what is wrong is Chang Ru's attitude towards love.
It is a pity that Chang Ru's high IQ does not have a big pattern to match it. On the other hand, Tanchun, her life goals are so magnificent and beautiful. I always admire women who believe in careers, such as Tanchun. Because love should be unexpected heartbeat, go with the flow of pure beauty, and career should be the goal of persistent trekking, the happiness of firm pursuit. The woman who worries about her dreams is far more distressed and admired than the woman who worries about love. Of course, for some people, love is only a pastime, nothing is harmless, and a person can live a clear and clear life; but for others, love is a necessity, and there is nothing better than flying with wings. Therefore, whether to take love as a belief like Chang Ru, or whether to take career as a belief like Tanchun, it varies from person to person, and most importantly, no matter when and where, we must maintain an upright character and correct values.
Tanchun and Changru, the same background is limited, the same years of living in frustration and unwillingness, but Tanchun's life goal is to maintain human dignity, realize the value of women, show lofty grand plans, how lofty and refreshing, and Changru's life goal is to become the most important appendage of the sweetheart, for this reason not only lose human dignity, but also abandon the value of women, but also destroy the conscience of the heart, how humble and narrow. Exploring spring, amiable and respectable; Chang Ru, sad and lamentable!
