After carefully reading the original work, I can understand that Ximen Qing has committed many evil deeds, so why he can still be reincarnated into a rich family
Ximen Qing is a fictitious image of an evil person, he is a rich party, bullying men and women, doing evil, greedy and vicious, but at the end of Jin Pingmei's novel, Ximen Qing was reborn as the son of the rich Man Shen Tong, and Wu Dalang, who has been honest all his life, has been reincarnated in the countryside to continue to be poor, why is this reason, why not follow the karmic cycle of our good and good, evil and evil retribution, and continue to repay debts? Let's follow the original book and look at it in detail.
Ximen Qing died, his son Xiao Ge was born, Wu Yueniang originally hoped that the family Ding would prosper, but sent this only bloodline into the empty door, there is a description: The Monk Pujing put the Zen staff on the head of Xiao Ge'er who was sleeping on the bed, and what appeared in front of Yue Niang's eyes was Ximen Qing with a heavy shackle and a rope around his waist.
Wu Yueniang believed in karma, and she believed that if Pu Jing did not let Xiao Gedu escape from the world, she would inevitably be another Ximen Qing. It was the last thing she wanted to see. "Scattering his wealth, overturning his property, and dying as a solution" How is the cycle of reincarnation, and he had to agree that the child who had expected him to inherit the family heirs had gone with the Monk Pujing.
Wu Yueniang is "good at reading the scriptures" in her daily life, she can live for seventy years and die well, there is "one son renunciation, nine ancestors ascend to heaven", the reincarnation of Ximen Qing's future life is also related to the behavior of his son Xiao Ge, here is the meaning of Jin Ping Mei to promote Zen Buddhism. Therefore, the American scholar Wang Jingyu believes that "Jin Ping Mei" should be read "as a work that promotes the Buddhist attitude towards life, especially at the end of the book."
Because ximen qing's only son cut his hair and became a monk, and Ximen Qing was reincarnated as a rich man, the author is showing that the only way to prevent the absurd things that preceded him is to completely abandon all the universal dust that makes all this possible. Just as the Dream of the Red Chamber was finally white and the earth was really clean, the idea of the book "Jin Ping Mei" finally returned and chose liberation.
At the beginning of this novel, it is also very clear that the four poems of "wine-colored wealth" are written to break the greed and hatred of the world, and exhort people to be pure with six roots, and to end "wealth" and "color" with "emptiness". Zhang Zhupo also said, "If you make your own knot, you will be a monk." ...... But the little brother was born at the moment of Simon's death, and the pawn wanted to make him turn back and be freed by me. Bodhisattva wishes are always made with the heart of a sage. ”
The author of "Jin Ping Mei" holds such a writing attitude, depicting the dirty world of the city servants, Ximen Qing has done many evil deeds at the same time, but also occasionally has good deeds, which also starts from Xue Guzi.
Xue Guzi first appeared in the book for the thirty-fourth time, and Ximen Qing talked about another public case that Yamen had asked about that day: a pair of young boys and girls had a private meeting in the monk's house, and they did not want the young man to become ill because of long thoughts, and once he got it, he actually died on the woman's body, and sued Yamen, and the nun who had been robbed of fake Buddhist matters to hide the lives of men and women was stripped of her clothes and beaten twenty boards, and ordered to return to the vulgarity.
This nun is Xue Guzi, and by the fortieth time, this sister-in-law appeared in the mouth of another Wang Guzi, who not only did not return to the vulgarity, but also moved to the Fahua Nunnery to make the first seat, and also "did not have a Taoist deed", so she recommended Wu Yueniang, who was a good Buddha, to use her spell water potion, and wu Yueniang asked Wang Yueniang to invite her to come. So the author asked the reader to wait for some time, and it was not until the fiftieth time that she was officially revealed.
It seems that this Xue Guzi is really not an idle person, she will only coax people with slippery tongues, she will not only be able to put the fetus in the spell water medicine, but also perform the praise of "King Kong Keyi", take the class posture, bite the text and chew the words, making people difficult to measure the depth. She went from being beaten by Ximen Qing to a vip of Wu Yueniang, who knew the truth and still thought she had good roots.
So let's take a look at her "good roots", it turned out to be a halfway monk, and her husband used to sell cooking cakes. Zhang Zhupo commented, "It is the old manuscript of Jin Lian." It is to sentence Xue Guzi and Pan Jinlian as all the way to the goods, we don't know if Xue Guzi still remembers the board that was beaten in the execution office, "in order to turn some use", this bold evil ni actually deceived the criminal officer's home, she first chanted and delivered medicine, conquered the inner chamber, and once she had Wu Yueniang's protective umbrella, she dared to brazenly come to Ximen Qing's pocket.
Ximen Qing was not a miser, he was spending money like earth while his wealth was rolling in, and he had a logic about silver: "Wu that thing, it is restless and not quiet, was it willing to bury it in one place?" It is also innately suitable for human use, and when a person accumulates, there is a person who is missing. Therefore it is highly sinful to accumulate treasure. "So, get happy, buy official gifts, reward servants, fireworks, and squander.
Xue Guzi touched this characteristic, so she "frequently came and went" to wait for the opportunity, when there was nothing to do, she accompanied her like a pilgrim, and whenever she had the opportunity, she showed her talents as nuns and witch doctors to defraud silver and two property. When she heard Ximen Qing triumphantly tell Li Zhen'er about the five hundred and two silver cultivation of Yongfu Temple just now, she wanted to strike iron while it was hot and let him pay some money out, that is, to print the Draconic Sutra.
Only to see that Xue Guzi stood up, clapped his hands together, and shouted: Buddha! Daddy ,......" The impatient but silent look of emotion suddenly came alive on the paper. The next sentence coaxed Ximen Qing to flutter and faint, do you think that this Ximen Qing special meeting will take advantage of it, print thousands of volumes of the "Dravidian Sutra", and at a short cost, you can be blessed with immeasurable blessings, and you can also go to the lotus world of treasure and jade food, can you not be moved?" Unconsciously, I was touched by a piece of good thoughts in my heart", so a quasi-thirty-two foot color pine silver was easily taken away by Xue Guzi.
There is another side to the matter, Ximen Qingxin is poisonous, why is he doing such "good" to the temple seal? It turned out that this Ximen Qing, like many rich people, not only sought wealth and glory in the world, but also wanted to enter the world of Elysium after death. Reluctantly, this is also a little mental need for him. Pan Jinlian first-class satisfied their physical needs, and Xue Guzi exercised illusory spiritual comfort to him in order to satisfy his own material enjoyment, although it was obviously a deception!
Zhang Zhupo replied here: "Although it is a thousand golds, how can it benefit your life?" Even if you give up a little more, it is nothing more than that, awakening the world to infinity. The author arranged ximen qing's reincarnation, but also to use this to wake up the world, but this is also the limitation of Jin Pingmei, and one commentator said it very well
Er, etc. to build a temple for good? Take the Seal of the Scriptures as a good deed? Monks and nuns call it good. Buddhas and bodhisattvas are also called good, and Buddhas and bodhisattvas are all selfish. Whoever builds a house for me, I bless it, and if someone speaks for me, I shelter it. The worldly qingzheng government is not yet deprived of sin by the property of sinners, but the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas can take it? There are such monks and nuns in the world, and there are no Buddhas and bodhisattvas in the world. ”
If this ironic theory holds, Ximen Qing, who is full of evil, will give up his family wealth and waste his time.
