In "Dream of the Red Chamber", the "Three Girls" Tanchun is a character most deeply related to the Qingming Festival.
"Slender shoulders, thin waist, long figure, duck egg face, handsome eyes and eyebrows, Gu Pan Shenfei, literary essence, see the vulgar." ——This is the appearance of the third time, when the Spring Girl appeared. At that time, she was really a beautiful and lively young girl.
The fifth time Zeyun, the main woman of Jia Province, each of them had a book in the heavenly "Too Illusory Realm" Bo Ming Division, on which had already written poems metaphorically for his fate, accompanied by a painting. One of the passages reads: "Behind it is a painting of two people flying kites, a sea, a large boat, and a woman in the boat hiding her face and weeping." There are also four sentences written in the clouds: only from the shrewd ambition, born in the end of the world fortune is partial. Qingming sent the river to look, a thousand miles of east wind a dream. This painting and this poem allude to the lamentable fate of the Spring Girl!
At the same time, she is also an elegant and talented woman who is "the essence of literary style". In the third time, Baoyu wants to give Daiyu the word "颦颦", and there is a similar Hun saying: "The Ancient and Modern Characters Examination says: 'There are stone names in the West, which can replace the ink of thrush.'" In fact, this Lin sister's eyebrows are sharp, and it is not good to use these two words! Tanchun was the first to stand up and debunk on the spot, laughing: "I'm afraid it's your fabrication again." ”
When Bao Yu encountered this sister who obviously read more and was more sensitive than him, he had to admit it euphemistically, so he laughed and said, "In addition to the "Four Books", there are too many fabrications, but I am not making them up?" ......”
In the thirty-seventh time, it was she who initiated the creation of the Begonia Poetry Society in the Grand View Garden, and was the first to make a poem "Wing Bai Begonia" when she opened the society.
When you look at her writing to Bao Yu to describe her imagination, how innocent and romantic, full of witty words? "Now, when I was silent at the bedside of the emperor, because I thought that the ancients in the past were in the field of famous attacks on the enemy, they placed some areas of mountains and drips, far and near, surrendered to the climbing, and made sure that the two or three comrades were coiled in it, or the altar of words, or the opening of the barn, although it was occasionally revived for a while, it became a good talk of thousands of years. Although Di is not talented, he is in the middle of the spring stone, and he also admires Xue Lin's skill. Wind garden moon pavilion, xi wei feast poets; curtain apricot creek peach, or can be drunk flying chanting cup. It is said that the hero of the Lotus Society, the only eyebrow, straight to the East Mountain Of Yahui, let the residual fat powder. If the snow comes, Di will sweep the flowers and wait. Sincerely. ”
Tanchun is not only good at dancing and ink, but also good at managing the family business. In the fifty-sixth time, because Wang Xifeng was ill, Tan Chundai was the head of the entire big family. The first one took the knife from her own mother, Aunt Zhao, and let her throw around the scene, slandering her vicious words, and Tanchun was after all justified and resolutely rejected her unreasonable request to take more silver. Even when Wang Xifeng, who was ill, heard about Tanchun's tough style and leadership boldness, he couldn't help but marvel: "Good, good, good, good third girl!" I said she was good...".
After exploring Chun Liwei, he carried out reforms in a big way, opened up and throttled the flow of money in the Grand View Garden, and eliminated the advantages and disadvantages, and won the strong support of Li Feng, Bao Chao, Feng Jie, Ping'er, and the firm support of many subordinates, and Bao Yu also praised her.
However, what makes people feel infinite regret and lament is that this extraordinary woman with both talents and noble ambitions has unfortunately been born into an apocalyptic family that is rapidly dying!
On the seventy-fourth occasion, Sister Feng and Wang Shanbao's family were ordered to inspect the Grand View Garden together. Only Tanchun dared to stand up and anger Sister Feng: "Our servants are naturally thieves, and I am the first nest owner." Even so, first come and search my cabinets, and all they stole will be handed over to me to hide..." "Don't be busy, naturally there will be days when you copy them!" You got up early this morning not to talk about the Zhen family, you are looking forward to a good copy of the house, and sure enough, today you really copied it! We're coming too! It can be known that such a large family, if it is killed from the outside, it cannot be killed for a while, which is what the ancients once said, 'a hundred-footed insect, dead but not stiff', must first commit suicide from home and kill itself, in order to be defeated! "Saying, I don't feel tears...
It shows how much she loves this family! The reason why she was so sharp to bump into Sister Feng was precisely because she couldn't see this family nest fighting! But at that time, the nest fight had long been the norm of this family, and it would only become more and more intense, unstoppable, destined to be so, powerless to return to heaven! The only thing she could do was to watch this "Zhong Ming Ding Food House, The Clan of Shi Li Miao" speeding up on the road to the end of the collapse. You can imagine how much pain she suffered!
And in the end, she couldn't even control her own fate--she had to obey her father's orders, board a boat and sail in a Qingming season, and marry away! Since then, the Jia Fu who has exuded her shrewd wisdom, the homeland that buried her deepest love and hate, and the years that precipitated her growth story, have gradually transformed into a distant, trance-like dream!
Maybe on the journey of long marriage, she will remember the riddle he once made? "When children are on their backs, the Qingming makeup is the most suitable. The gossamer was broken and weak, and Mo complained to the East Wind. (Enigma: the most suitable "kite" to decorate the Qingming)
Or maybe it was just when the willows were empty, and she looked around, and then she suddenly realized: She was so much like the half of her own willows? "Hanging in the air, hanging in vain." It is also difficult to tie the line and it is difficult to bond, and the east, west, south and north are separated. (Nan Kezi Hanging Fiber)
In the end, perhaps she finally condensed her thousands of thoughts and ancient sorrows into the song "Dream of the Red Chamber" that had been made for her in the illusory realm, "Flesh and Bones", and then looked at the homeland with a column, and sang for a long time:
Three thousand sails,
Throw the flesh and blood home together.
Fear of crying, disabling years.
Tell Daddy: Hugh puts the child in suspense.
Since ancient times, the poor have been fixed, and the clutch has no reason?
From now on, they will be divided into two places, each of which will keep peace.
Slaves go also, do not implicate.
Slaves go also, mo implicated...
And at this moment, I can't help but think infinitely on the night of Qingming: Mo implicated, Mo implicated... Singing and singing, the spring girl should finally wake up in the dream of the red chamber, and suddenly clear up!
Cao Xueqin is worthy of being a huge pen like rafters, a Qingming Festival was borrowed by him to write about Exploring Spring, Qingming became more vivid and deep because of the literary style and story of Exploring Spring, and Qingming has also become the finishing touch to describe Tangchun, and the two can be described as complementary!
Writing this, I also suddenly realized: the true meaning of the fusion of Qingming and Exploring Spring Water and Milk should have been so clear and clear - Qingming should think about exploring spring, and exploring spring when thinking about Qingming!
