When it comes to the four famous works, many people are familiar with it, but in fact, the four famous works are very late, before that, they have always been six famous works, and the extra two are "Liaozhai Zhiyi" and "Ru lin waishi".
Ru Lin Wai Shi is a realist work, which makes a ruthless lashing of the literati class of the Qing Dynasty, full of spicy irony, and the Fan Jinzhongju we are familiar with is from this novel.
And when it comes to chatting about Zai Zhiyi, this book can be a lot of interesting, it can be said that the ghost fox immortal, the wind and moon are boundless, can be called the originator of Chinese shuangwen, look at the content inside, can put a middle school teenager to see the blood boiling.
Because in this, in fact, there are many beautiful love stories, and the male protagonist of the story is a schoolboy who has achieved nothing and is poor, but on this condition, there will still be many beautiful female foxes who fall in love with him.
A lot of love is selfless and unconditional, and there is even a story in which this female fox can also transform into different female appearances, give lovers a sense of freshness, and some even actively give her husband Zhang Luona concubines.
It is estimated that the readers at that time, after watching the chat of Zai Zhiyi, must be thinking in their hearts, tonight I will live in this broken temple to see if there can be any sexual encounters.
To talk about why the male protagonists in the chat are all kinds of poor and sour talents, there are actually shallow reasons and deep reasons, and only by understanding the deep reasons can you really read this book.
The name luosun mountain Pu Songling
To talk about the shallow reasons, we have to talk about Pu Songling, who was definitely a representative of an ordinary reader at that time, what is an ordinary reader, that is, most of those who cannot get a meritorious name.
In China, during the Ming and Qing dynasties, studying and becoming an official became the only way out, and the admission rate of jinshi was very low, how low it was, just look at Fan Jinzhongju's happy madness after seeing it.
And Fan Jin is a very small number of lucky people, most of the readers are like Pu Songling, the main energy is spent on the examination, Pu Songling from the age of 19 for the first time to participate in the child examination, to 72 years old to participate in the year gong examination, is simply to spend his life on the examination.
But as a result, he did not go crazy, because he never crossed the threshold of lifting people, but only symbolically at the age of 72, he received a consolation honor, Gongsheng.
This is the real Pu Songling, put into the current proper loser, and is the most typical, the most ordinary loser, all the way to the exam, and finally did not even have a serious job.
Like most literati, once you can't get a lift, you can only be a staff member, or a village teacher, and these ways out basically have a common feature, that is, poverty.
And a talented writer like Pu Songling has a more sensitive understanding of the cold and warm of human feelings and the coldness of the world, and finally this perennial student has found a way to comfort himself and write novels.
For the perennial depressed men who have fallen off the list, he really knows men too well, especially those who read books, who have no power to tie their hands and are full of saint teachings, but they often can't hold on to it when it comes to the end.
So in Pu Songling's pen, those students who rush to take the exam, on the way, there will always be some gentle towns, a gentle and beautiful girl, suddenly appear in front of them, you say you can not be moved?
This is actually the routine of modern network text, a teenager who is nothing, but there are beautiful women like, after a variety of upside-down stickers, men still can't move to say that this woman is not good.
The reason why there is such an image is essentially to satisfy, but the needs of a wide range of readers, because the real life is not satisfactory, so they can only resort to imagination.
However, even Pu Songling knew that this kind of thing could not happen to normal people at all, so those women were by no means Du Li niang Cui Yingying or the like, but could only be some ghost foxes, Pu Songling and the vast number of readers, who could only find a trace of comfort in the absurdity.
This is actually the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the life of an ordinary reader, we can see that those celebrities are all officials who have been admitted to the examination, no matter how big or small in the imperial court, at least an official, but more is to think of Pu Songling like this, and has contributed his whole life to the imperial examination.
What love is
But in addition to Pu Songling's personal reasons, the reason why there are students who fall in love with ghost foxes in Chatzhai is that there is a deeper social reason.
In modern society, we will think that love is the basis of marriage, but in ancient society, it was not this understanding at all, in ancient society, marriage was first and foremost the inheritance of property and the continuation of heirs, in addition, there is nothing, yes, there is nothing, there is no need for love between husband and wife, and even excessively intimate love is considered unseemly.
But feelings are the basic needs of human beings, so the ancient model is generally more of an obligation with the wife, a moral obligation, two people rarely fall in love, there is a deeper spiritual exchange.
And what is more crucial is that at that time, women without talent are moral, and girls in serious families rarely read and write, let alone say what talents such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Good people women, learn are female red, are how to serve the husband, filial piety to the in-laws and other things, these things have been precipitated for many years, resulting in a typical Chinese family, male and female protagonists, the division of labor between men and women is clear, feelings occupy a very small position in the life of husband and wife, can not say that there is no at all, can only do a very, very small proportion.
We look at the most beautiful love poems that have been handed down now, all written by "scumbags", such as Yuan Shu's laziness in taking the second flower bush, half yuan cultivation and half yuan jun, yuan shu looking at it from today's point of view, that is, a proper scumbag.
But in ancient times, it was not so thought, in their thoughts, with the big wife is not in love, talk about love, this kind of thing, can only find other women.
Therefore, you see those men in Liaozhai, in fact, when they go out to take the exam, they are already married and some even have children, but when they mess with those beautiful women, there is no psychological burden at all, and some even lead to the family, which is actually the atmosphere of the old era.
As the saying goes, the role of a concubine is to be beautiful, and there is a love affair with the male host, which is in line with the social ethics of the time and is also a very common phenomenon at that time.
Examination room and green building
Because of this concept in ancient times, many readers, their emotional needs can not be met, the more those who think they are very talented students, the stronger their emotional needs.
So going to the Qinglou to find a woman who can recite poetry became the best choice for readers at that time, based on this supply and demand relationship, in fact, the largest Qinglou at that time was also opened in the place where the students were most concentrated.
Only in that place, the emotional needs of readers can be met, and the Qinglou women who are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting will provide a lot of value-added services, and it is also a place where many readers gather, after all, only on this occasion can they have fun, and at the same time, they can reflect the ink in the stomach of the readers.
This kind of design in ancient times is actually separation and feelings and family, the basis of the family is not feelings, a man to find a partner of feelings, can only go to the outside world to find, either a concubine, or go to the Qinglou, and these ancient wives are generally not jealous.
Then some people ask, what should be done if women's feelings are asked?
There is no way, there is no way, can only be obedient, the status of ancient women is low, no one takes into account the needs of women, so there are no corresponding measures and means in society, even if it is a fantasy ghost fox fairy.
Until modern times, there is women's literature, there are women love to read the novel, many women, including housewives, love Korean dramas, watch Korean dramas in the handsome guys, and the ancients to watch Liaozhai is a psychology, to meet the heart of the longing for love.
Society and family are constantly changing, we do not easily say that an ancient man is a scumbag, after all, that era, and modern times have completely different values, even the careful-eyed Lin Daiyu, knowing that Jia Baoyu and the attackers have a relationship, are not angry, this is in line with the love psychology of that era.
Demons, ghosts, foxes and immortals, these are just a reflection of reality, no matter how many things we fantasize about, they are essentially meeting the needs of reality.
