Wang Yangming said, "Hungry to eat and tired to sleep, only this practice xuan is more xuan." In his opinion, eating and sleeping is all practice.
About one-third of a person's life is spent in sleep, so sleep is crucial for people.
There are many sleeping scenes in "Dream of the Red Chamber", Jia Baoyu sleeps on the bed of his nephew and daughter-in-law Qin Keqing, Raider, Qingwen, and Fangguan sleep on Baoyu's bed, Baoyu and Daiyu squeeze into a bed to sleep, and there are three women who sleep in obviously different ways from them, and they sleep with different differences, each with their own bitterness, each with its own story, each with its own meaning.
01 Grandma Liu slept in the field
Grandma Liu entered the Rongguo Mansion and was warmly received by Jia Mu.
Wang Xifeng and Mandarin Duck made Jia Mu happier, so the two joined forces and teased Grandma Liu at the dinner table.
When drinking, Grandma Liu was worried that her hands and feet were stupid, and after drinking, she lost her hand and hit the porcelain cup, and offered to use a wooden cup.
Wang Xifeng asked Feng Er to go back to the house to get ten bamboo root cups, and Mandarin Duck knew that Wang Xifeng wanted to "make bad" to Liu Grandma, so he poured oil on the fire and said that the ten bamboo root cups were too small, and there were ten large sets of cups with yellow poplar roots in Jia's mother's room, and Wang Xifeng even claimed that it was good.
After the set of cups is taken, ten sizes are set together, the large one is like a small basin, and the extremely small one is more than twice as large as the ordinary cup. Jia Mu guessed through Wang Xifeng and Mandarin Duck's thoughts, and took the initiative to block it, so that Grandma Liu could only eat one cup.
After drinking a glass of wine, the wine surged up, and the Mandarin Duck deliberately embarrassed Grandma Liu and asked about the material of the cup. Grandma Liu laughed and said:
"I don't think the girl doesn't recognize it, how do you recognize the wood in this Golden Gate embroidery household!" We became a neighbor in the woods, sleepy and slept with him, sat on him when we were tired, ate him when we were hungry during the famine years, saw him every day in our eyes, listened to him every day in our ears, and talked about him every day in our mouths, so I recognized him as true or false. Let me admit it. (Dream of the Red Chamber, 41st)
In the end, Grandma Liu failed to recognize the wood of the cup, which caused everyone to laugh.
From what Grandma Liu said, she went to work in the farmland and slept in the field with a wooden pillow when she was sleepy.
Is what Grandma Liu said credible? Is it drunken talk?
After Jia Mu led the crowd to eat a formal meal, she accompanied Jia Mu to the tree in front of the mountain for half a day, and drank tea in Miaoyu's Li Cui Nunnery, during which Time Liu Grandma behaved very decently, which fully showed that Liu Grandma was not drunk.
So what she said in front of everyone that she slept on a log in the wild was a real thing.
In fact, Grandma Liu lives in the countryside, although she is very old, she also needs to go to the land to farm, and the old women in the countryside, who are at ease with the situation and sleep on the ground, are the norm of rural people's labor, and she is naturally no exception.
02 Shi Xiangyun sleeps on a stone bench
Jia Baoyu celebrated his birthday, and everyone came together to celebrate.
The relationship between Shi Xiangyun and Baoyu is extraordinary, the two sleep in a small room and eat at the same table, shi Xiangyun once privately told the attackers that they would marry Baoyu when they grew up. (Note: The thirty-second time in "Dream of the Red Chamber", the attacker laughed and said, "This will be ashamed again, do you remember ten years ago, we lived in the west side of the warm pavilion, what did you say to me at night?") That wouldn't be a shame. How did this get so bad? ”）
After growing up, Shi Xiangyun had an in-laws early on. In this case, she got along with Baoyu, and there was a little helplessness and some pity in her heart.
But she is heroic by nature, has always had a manly style, a chivalrous demeanor, especially in front of everyone will hide the private feelings of her children.
While the crowd was drinking, the crowd was not exhausted, and she was already drunk and secretly went to sleep on a stone bench in the flower bush.
After the servants explained the situation, everyone went to see it together:
"Guo saw Xiangyun lying on a stone bench in the middle of the mountain stone, and after a dream of incense, the peony flowers flew on all sides, and the red incense on the placket of his face was scattered, the fan in his hand was underground, and he was half buried by the falling flowers, and a group of bees and butterflies surrounded him, and wrapped a bag of peony petals with a fish paw. (Dream of the Red Chamber, 62nd)
Xiangyun drunkenly sleeping peony medicine has become a scene that many girls yearn for.
This is not the case.
Shi Xiangyun slept on a stone bench after getting drunk, beautiful is beautiful, bitter is bitter.
Because this way of sleeping is a kind of presupposition, like her roasting venison in the snow, it is all a hint at the tragic life of Shi Xiangyun's last period of life: cooking in the snow like a caller, sleeping on a stone bench in the cold winter.
03 Xiangling sleeps on the ground
Xiangling was born in a middle-class family, and her father Zhen Shiyin once funded Jia Yu Village, but when she was young, she was taken by the servants of the family to enjoy the lanterns and was abducted and sold.
On the way to Beijing, Xue Pan met Xiangling and half bought and half snatched her into Kyoto.
Living in Jia Province, after Xiangling grew up, her appearance and conduct were like Qin Keqing of Ningguo Province. Xue Pan was soft and hard, and Aunt Xue was the master, and she invited Ming Tang zhengdao to marry her as a concubine for Xue Pan.
After Xia Jingui married Xue Pan, he saw that Xiangling was better than himself, and thought that the side of the bed would not allow others to sleep, so with the help of Xue Pan and the joy of the golden toad, let Xiangling sleep with him when he went to his room.
Xiang Ling was helpless and had to hug the cover. Jin Gui ordered him to sleep in the bunk. XiangLing had to obey her orders. (Dream of the Red Chamber, 79th)
Xiangling slept on the ground, not a dark moment in her life.
When the contradiction between Xue Pan and Xia Jingui became increasingly prominent, Aunt Xue put all the responsibility on Xiangling for the sake of the ugliness of the family, and even wanted to sell her to human traffickers. Xue Baochao was afraid of being laughed at by the Jia family and took it in his room as a yahuan.
04 The three ways of sleeping reveal the end times and the bitterness of the world
Grandma Liu is a rural person, Shi Xiangyun is Miss Qianjin, and Xiangling is a rich concubine.
Behind the three different ages of women, different origins, different encounters, and different sleeping styles, they are actually the same sad life. And all these identities are different, and they are a true portrayal of life in the last days.
Mr. Sun Yat-sen said: The tide of the world is mighty, and those who go along with it prosper and those who go against it perish.
In the face of the trend, no one can resist. In the last days, no one can be left alone.
Therefore, the three people's alternative way of sleeping is a prophecy of future life: everyone's life will be like the three people, and it will only become more and more bitter.
After Jia Yuanchun's personal life, the raider took a leave of absence to go home for the festival, during which Time Bao Yu secretly went to the attacker's house.
The mother and brother were already busy arranging their clothes and fruits. There is always nothing to eat when you attack people.
Fat batch is noted here: Supplement how delicate Baoyu has been since childhood, so that this sentence is left in the lower part, and after dozens of times "cold winter choking acid, snow night around the broken felt" and other places to look at, can be too much for the future generation of the ring, sigh!
It can be seen from this that after Jia Fu was raided, Baoyu was living on the street, eating pickled sauerkraut and sleeping with a broken felt.
At the end of his life, Baoyu's sleeping situation was even more tragic than that of Grandma Liu, Shi Xiangyun and Xiangling.
Some people say that forgive everything before going to bed and wake up is a new life. If you live in great times, this may be the reality. But to be born in the last days is to have extravagant hopes.
