In the dream of the Red Chamber, Jia Mu is the head of the family, and in Jia Mu's mind, the girl's manual needlework is still the main indicator to consider a girl. She sent Qingwen to Jia Baoyu's room as a maid, except for Qingwen's handsome appearance, she was good at manual work, and no one could compare. Although Jia Fu is a family of poetry and books, in Jia Mu's mind, girls' reading and literacy is secondary, which can be seen from Lin Daiyu's entry into Jia Fu.
When Lin Daiyu entered jia mansion, she once asked Jia Mu "what books do the sisters read", and Jia Mu replied that "it is not just blind", there is a transmission of this value. When the female ancestor was talking in Jia Fu and talking about the talented and beautiful people, Jia Mu was not happy and directly showed her attitude, she said
"These books are all a set left but some of the best people are the least interesting. Saying that people's daughters are so bad or that they are beautiful people have made up no shadows. This lady must be a wonderful lady who knows everything and is a wonderful person. Only when I saw a handsome man, whether he was a relative or a friend, he remembered the lifelong events, and his parents also forgot about the book ceremony and forgot that the ghost is not a ghost thief or a thief Which point is a beautiful person? ”
In this view, it is believed that girls who know all the ancient and modern texts are easy to read "songbook novels, provoke evil intentions, and even dance and make ugly things", to this extent, it is not as good as illiterate, so that they can keep clumsy and peaceful, the so-called women's talentlessness is morality, which means this.
This is the leading idea among the parents of Jia Fu, the girls moved into the Grand View Garden, but also let Li Yi take the girls to learn some needle and thread female red as the first priority, as for the poetry writing club and other cultural activities can at best be regarded as enriching the amateur life. It's just that the girls are in their youth, which is poetry in itself, and the Grand View Garden is relatively independent of the place where the parents live, and the girls' interest lies more in poetry.
Xue Baochao's ability to adapt to the environment is beyond ordinary people, she is a guest in Jia Province, can very accurately perceive the aesthetic of the old ancestors, please the old ancestors like, is one of her specialties, so Xue Baochao shows that she uses this feudal etiquette to regulate herself and others, in order to achieve the approval of parents.
When the poet Xiangling moved into the Grand View Garden and pestered Xue Baochao to learn poetry, Xue Baochao reminded her to "visit the old lady first, and everyone should go to see", hoping that she would make some progress in terms of human feelings and sophistication.
When Shi Xiangyun wanted to set up a poetry club in Daguan Garden, although Xue Baochao also helped, he still made clear his point of view, "In the end, this is nothing, or spinning needles are you and me", her point of view, in the parents who hold the same point of view, sound very pleased in their hearts.
When Lin Daiyu was carrying out the liquor order, he inadvertently said the sentence in the forbidden book at that time, Xue Baochao privately talked to Lin Daiyu, saying that this set of views was also "our girl's family, it is better not to recognize the words", "you and I should only do some spinning needlework, etc.", and also deliberately emphasized that "reading and literacy is not our business".
Xue Baochao himself was also tempted by those so-called "idle books" when he was young, but when he was older, he consciously adjusted himself according to the values of his parents, so in the dream of the Red Chamber we saw Xue Baochao's residence, there was no book in the decoration of the room, xue Baochao himself specifically mentioned in the original text that "every day is also to do needlework female red until late at night."
Lin Daiyu's room is arranged like Gongzi Brother's study, full of books, every day is to write poetry and lyrics, this is her authenticity, then Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochao's handmade female red who is better, the book is not involved, read the original text, we find the answer is not difficult.
The girls mentioned in the article do female red work, Tanchun made shoes for Jia Baoyu, Shi Xiangyun was in his uncle's aunt's home, the needlework was done by himself, and he also agreed to the request of the attacker to make shoes for Jia Baoyu. Later, the raiders gave Xue Baochao the job of making shoes for Jia Baoyu, and Xue Baochao later appeared to embroider the belly pocket of a mandarin duck for Jia Baoyu.
Lin Daiyu made a sachet for Jia Baoyu, so it seems that the ladies in Jia Province can do needlework, but the feeling is that Lin Daiyu is not very good at needlework, which of course has something to do with the misleading of the attacker.
The attacker said that Lin Daiyu did not do needlework, the original text is as follows
She can't do it! Rao was like this, and the old lady was still afraid that she was toiling. The doctor also said that it is good to live and recuperate, who bothers her to do it? In the old year, I worked hard for a year, made a sachet, and this year for half a year, I haven't seen the needle and thread yet.
Attacking people to emphasize a sachet, Lin Daiyu spent nearly a year, and she did not see her take needle and thread for half a year. But we should pay attention to the main points, the attackers are only saying that Lin Daiyu does not do needlework, not that Lin Daiyu does not do needlework.
On the twenty-eighth time, Jia Baoyu went to Jia Mu's room and found Lin Daiyu bending down with scissors to cut something, and there was a handmaiden next to her blowing an iron and playing the bottom line. It was obvious that Lin Daiyu was cutting clothes, and baochao came in and said, "My sister is becoming more and more capable, and she can even cut."
Moreover, Lin Daiyu did this in Jia Mu's room, which can be inferred that she cut clothes for Jia Mu. When Grandma Liu entered the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Mu's handmaiden Mandarin Duck gave Jia Mu's new clothes to Grandma Liu, and emphasized that Jia Mu never wore clothes made by others, which showed that this old lady was exquisite and exquisite, Lin Daiyu could cut for Jia Mu, and the handiwork of Lin Sister was also excellent. It is only because Lin Daiyu's poetry is extremely high, and she does not deliberately cater to this understanding of parents, coupled with the rumors of attacking people, that gives us the illusion that Lin Daiyu does not do manual work.
In fact, in the dream of the Red Chamber, there are two female red masters, one is Qingwen who makes up for the peacock qiu. Jia Baoyu's precious peacock qiu broke a hole, half of the city's skilled craftsmen did not dare to take this job, only the sick Qingwen used the boundary weaving method to restore its perfection as before, Qingwen's craft can weave python robes, this handiwork is called the top master in Jia Province.
Then there is Hui Niang, is born in the Book Xiang Mendi Miss, not only proficient in calligraphy and painting, but also good at embroidery, occasionally a shot is a rare treasure, and later her embroidery became the emperor's tribute, Jia Fu has one, is regarded as a treasure, every New Year's Festival is willing to put it out, this is a handicraft master outside the Jia House.
What is the relationship between these two handicraft masters and Lin Daiyu? Qing is Dai Ying, Qing Wen is similar to Lin Daiyu regardless of her appearance and personality, she is a mirror image of Lin Daiyu, and the advantages of her body also mean the advantages of Lin Daiyu. Similarly, Hui Niang's "Hui", in the dream of the Red Chamber, only Lin Daiyu's handmaiden Zijuan has a "Hui" word, and these two top female red masters have Lin Daiyu's shadow.
You said, compared with Xue Baochao, who can embroider the belly of a mandarin duck and can make shoes for Jia Baoyu, who is more excellent in the end
