Xue Pan is a big bad guy, which is the common perception of most readers of the Red Chamber.
However, in order to rob Yinglian, he "relied on wealth and power" and instructed the "many hao slaves" to beat Feng Yuan to death, and did not have the slightest pity for Xiang Xiang and cherish yu's heart, "dragging Yinglian to death, dragging Yinglian away." After doing these things, he can actually "be like no one, just take his family to his path."
The author is really good at writing, a few adjectives, let a "Jinling Yiba" who regards human life as a grass and mustard jump on the paper, and people can't help but grit their teeth at him.
Such a scene description can be described as thrilling, giving the reader a strong sensory impact, and unforgettable, and in his heart, He tagged Xue Pan with the label of "bully".
This is the author's careful machine, "fake when it is true", when the reader is attracted to these scenes, he falls into his elaborate trap, thus ignoring the small details he buries between the lines. When he had fully completed the description of the scene with a strong sensory impact, he made a twist with one sentence:
"Who knows that (Xue Pan) has not lived here (Jia Fu) for more than a month, and all the sons and nephews of the Jia family have already recognized half of them, and those who are stupid and habitual do not like to associate with him. Today's drinking, tomorrow's flowers, and even gathering gambling and prostitution, gradually everything, lured Xue Pan ten times worse than that day. ”
This twist is often ignored by the reader, but it plays a role in finishing touches: after reading the previous scene description, do you think that Xue Pan is extremely bad? However, after entering Jia Province, he was "ten times worse than that day".
In less than a month, it was ten times worse than the original, which was the point that the author finally wanted to express: Jia Fu was a big dye vat, and its degree of evil and evil was far better than Xue Pan's bullying behavior. Once you enter this dyeing vat, don't say that a stupid and stupid person like Xue Pan is easy to be polluted, even Lin Daiyu, who has "a heart that knows more than a little bit", is also difficult to escape the fate of being blackened.
When Dai Yu was still the daughter of the Lin family, she was an otherworldly talented woman with poetry books in her belly.
Some people say that the author is too partial to Daiyu, giving her a birth that ordinary people can't reach. Yes, in the Confucian society that advocates reading, the label of "the family of books" is the most valuable, it is better than all the wealth and status in the world, and it is more noble and admirable than the princely general.
Lin Daiyu's noble origin is not only in the "family of books", but also in the fact that she has a father who explores flowers and the Lin family has always maintained the high purity of the readers.
Tanhua's father, Lin Ruhai, represents the diligence and hard work of the "Scholarly Family" and is committed to the official government and the world, while Lin Ruhai's hand-picked as the Inspector of Salt Yushi represents the Lin family's honesty and public service, and can be regarded as a model for readers.
All the author's praise for the Lin family is actually to pave the way for Lin Daiyu's appearance. Growing up in such an environment, and having the talent of "having a more heart than doing", it was only at the age of five or six that Lin Daiyu, who was regarded by Jia Yucun as "not the same as the recent woman".
That is to say, the author has done so much preparation to illustrate Lin Daiyu's "extraordinary", which can be regarded as "worldly immortal".
"Xanadu Xianshu" does not want to show how beautiful Dai Yu is, but to show her otherworldliness. Combined with the author's description of the Lin family, "Xanadu Xianshu" contains at least three levels of meaning:
The first refers to the fact that there are poetry books in the abdomen, which are immortals in learning, and it is difficult for ordinary people to look forward to their backs;
The second refers to the otherworldly, there is no worldly fame and fortune in her eyes, and high character is her pursuit (those who say that Dai Yu inherited a huge amount of property are actually destroying Dai);
The third is to aim high, to stand tall and look far away like a fairy Buddha, to look down on sentient beings and to be willing to look after them.
It is no exaggeration to impose the meaning of these three levels on Daiyu.
First of all, she is gifted and intelligent, with the ability to never forget and export. If she wants to, she can put all the books in the world into her head.
Then, the Generations of Tutoring of the Lin Family, especially the diligence and thrift shown by her father Lin Ruhai, will affect her indifference to fame and fortune.
In the end, if Lin Ruhai did not worry about the world, he would not rush into the salt patrol to do the imperial history, nor would he help Jia Yucun, who he thought had Qingcao, to the position. This enterprising spirit of worrying about the country and the people will also affect Lin Daiyu. Therefore, before meeting Baoyu, she positioned Baoyu, who was "stubborn and abnormal, extremely evil to read", as "I don't know how to give birth to a lazy character and a naughty child?" ”
However, all this is only possible and not realized. That is to say, Lin Daiyu was fully qualified to grow into a "worldly immortal", but she failed to achieve it, because she was still in the early stage of growth, and she was forced to leave the Lin family and enter the Jia House.
Under the immersion of Jia Fu, Lin Daiyu became a vulgar powder of sad spring and autumn.
It is necessary for us to pay attention to the age at which Lin Daiyu entered Jia Province: six years old!
Six years old, of course still a child. Even if Lin Daiyu's talent is far beyond ordinary people, even if the lin family's high-quality genes are difficult for ordinary people to reach, in any case, Lin Daiyu at the age of six has not yet fully established her personality.
If you want Lin Daiyu to grow up in the way of the Lin family, you must continue the Lin family's education method: diligence, frugality, through books or the education of teachers to increase insight and broaden the heart. Unfortunately, she entered the big dyeing vat of Jia Province, which was a luxurious environment that was completely opposite to the Lin family's thrifty family style.
Lin Ruhai sent Dai Yu to Jia Province, originally hoping that Dai Yu could "rely on her grandmother and uncle's sisters", but in fact she became "leaning on her grandmother and uncle's brother". Jia Mu did not arrange for Dai Yu to be close to the "uncle sisters", but arranged for her and Bao Yu to "sit together on the day and rest together at night", and "sleep and eat, just like Bao Yu". This is to directly put Dai Yu into an extremely luxurious environment.
This is not the environment for cultivating the "Immortals of the World", but the environment that gives birth to the "Chaos Demon King".
As a result, Lin Daiyu, who originally had the hope of growing into a "worldly immortal", was immersed in this big dyeing vat of Jia Fu and turned into a vulgar powder of sad spring and autumn.
Her unforgettable talent was supposed to be used to read the "Book of Reason", but as a result, she was immersed in the erotic novels of the talented and beautiful;
The indifferent fame and fortune and high character given to her by the Lin family were gradually forgotten by her, not only competing everywhere, but also being tainted by fame and fortune together with Baoyu, so that "pink stains and grease stains the treasure light", and her gentleman's jade turned into a jade of play. "Qi Li is trapped day and night by mandarin duck", she trapped herself in the small love of "red fragrant green jade", and her "Wing Chun Cai" was also used by her to hurt spring and autumn.
Many readers say that Baoyu and Daiyu are indifferent to fame and fortune, but in fact, they do not see that they have been in the dye vat of fame and fortune. Their life itself is the embodiment of fame and fortune, without fame and fortune, there is no good life they have.
This is a complete departure from the education of the Lin family. The Lin family maintains diligence and frugality, and the purpose is to continue to make progress in the "food without food, and security without living". Baoyu and Daiyu are not enterprising, precisely because they eat too much, live too safely, and fame and fortune are at their fingertips.
It was in such an environment that Lin Daiyu completely forgot what the Lin family's "bookish family" represented, and also forgot that she had a mission in her genes to worry about the world. When her father desperately tried to dig up the moths in the country in the salt service, she had become a moth in Jia Province.
Such a Lin Daiyu, where is the appearance of "Immortal Sister in the World"? She lived to become a vulgar powder who "mixed" with Baoyu and made Xue Pan "crisp".
Of course, this is not Daiyu's fault, but Jia Fu's fault, Jia Mu's fault. It was Jia Mu who turned Jia Fu into a dyeing vat, not only staining Xue Pan, who was stupid in mind, but also staining Lin Daiyu, who was mentally immature.
