"Peking University Drunkard" Kong Qingdong laughs: Qinglou culture - green shirt Lei fell dangerous peak line (1)

Even if it is clear and rainy,

Deep in the clouds, I also get wet,

——Zhang Xu, "Staying in the Mountains"

Qinglou, is also a culture? Qinglou also has culture?

At the beginning of the pen, I felt that there was a dangerous peak in front of me. It was as if he was not facing the Qinglou, but the Qingfeng Sword. Isn't there often a mantra in vernacular novels? "The two or eight best human bodies are like crisp, and the sword at the waist kills the fool." Although those novels portray the two or eight beautiful people as charming, the conclusion is often to warn the reader to stay away from those beautiful people. Ordinary beauties should be kept away, not to mention the unusual beauties in the Qinglou? China has a very wise tradition, that is, to blame all the unfortunate things on women: praise and destroy Xia, Dai ji died shang, Fu Cha lost the country because of Xi Shi, Dong Zhuo was killed by marten Chan, as for Yang Guifei, it was even more ruined the iron barrel Jiangshan of Tang Ming Emperor Li San'er, and the so-called red face disaster water is also. Then the Qinglou is the exhibition of the red face, the auction hall of the disaster water, the crime is very serious, how can it be passed down for the tree monument, and show its so-called culture?

In fact, the depiction of the characters of the Qinglou and the performance of the life of the Qinglou have always been endlessly written. Or with a deep humanitarian spirit, crying out the misfortune of those insulted and damaged souls, or holding a leisurely attitude of searching for beauty and curiosity, admiring the various Western scenery in the Qinglou. But it was very late to be able to calmly face the world of Qinglou and place it in the grand system of the entire Chinese culture for observation and exploration. This is out of people's psychological fear of the Qinglou, and the second is out of people's psychological contempt for the Qinglou, so that they ignore the possibility that the Qinglou contains great cultural significance, or only regard it as the remnants of the cultural fringes. As everyone knows, culture is omnipresent, and "where the Tao is, it gets worse every time it goes." The "lower nine streams" social places, such as the Qinglou, which seem to be the most despised, bring together all aspects of social culture.

Mencius said: "Food color, sex also." Even if "color" is regarded only as a kind of spiritual life of man, it is also the top priority of human beings who sit on an equal footing with "food", from princes and nobles to cloth and qianshou, who can be insulated from "color"? Around a "color" word, how many touching and ghostly tragedies, comedies, tragicomedies and tragedies have been performed by human beings! At least half of the pyramids of culture are laid on this monumental cornerstone. Therefore, it is entirely reasonable to say that how deep the relationship between the Qinglou and the "color" is, how deep the relationship between the Qinglou and the culture is. Studying Chinese culture and trying to bypass the Qinglou, or talking about the Qinglou without involving culture, is like entering a temple without visiting a monk, boarding a boat without asking about the water, at least it can be said to be three points and wide.

In Jin Yong's "Deer Ding", there is a rogue child from a brothel in Yangzhou, Wei Xiaobao, in his eyes, the world is not a brothel, even when he reaches the palace, he also sighs: Such a big courtyard, I don't know how many girls there are! Wei Xiaobao's seemingly ignorant nonsense didn't just break the essence of things, and to put it bluntly, the inner courtyard of the palace was actually the most special and highest-level brothel of the Qinglou? If, to some extent, the imperial palace is a condensation of Chinese culture, then the Chinese culture condensed in the Qinglou must be even more than that. In terms of the concentration of cultural accumulation, the significance of Master Li is not necessarily inferior to that of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and Chen Yuanyuan's role is probably no less than that of Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui, the King of pingxi. Only by realizing this can we understand the intention of this book to indulge the "culture" sleeping on the side of the "Qinglou" bed, and can we look at the Qinglou culture with an ordinary heart. Whether it is "there are prostitutes in the eyes and no prostitutes in the heart" or "there are no prostitutes in the eyes, there are prostitutes in the heart", in short, the Qinglou is culture, and there is no doubt that the Qinglou has culture.

The question is what kind of mentality is needed to climb this dangerous peak and analyze this culture.

Since it is regarded as a culture, it is natural that it should be treated as a "culture". There is undoubtedly a tragedy in the Qinglou, and perhaps the Qinglou itself is a major tragedy of human civilization, which can easily cause "Who is the most weeping in the seat?" Jiangzhou Sima Qing shirt wet" sympathy. Sympathy is a matter of course, and words without sympathy can only be counted as maggots on paper. But sympathy alone is not enough, and indulging sympathy is even more a hindrance to a deep understanding of the object of sympathy itself. It seems that the word "care" is more appropriate than the emotional word "sympathy", which infuses more reason without excluding sensibility. There is no lack of compassion in caring, but it also contains a kind of transcendence. With this transcendence, then sympathy is a kind of sympathy with distance, and it will not begin with a blur of tears and end with a cry of Chu prisoners.

Qinglou is not equivalent to a brothel, it is not a brothel's elegant name or synonym, it has been far away from today's modern industrial society in time and space, and the women in the Qinglou are also very different from today's "pheasants" and "Xiaomi". Therefore, whether it is the author or the reader, it is not necessary to imitate the traditional literati's posture of "tearful eyes and tearful eyes, broken intestines against broken intestines". If you are sympathetic, what else can be admired except "holding hands and looking at each other with tears in your eyes, and swallowing wordlessly"? Therefore, it is necessary to add calm will and restrained strength in addition to the tears of sympathy. This is caring.

Both the "New Language of the World" and the "Book of Jin" contain the story of "Xinting Weeping". Some scholars and doctors in the Eastern Jin Dynasty who crossed the river from the north often drank and feasted in the new pavilions on the outskirts. During a banquet, Zhou Jie sighed and said: The scenery is still like this, but the rivers and mountains of the country have changed! Many people in this room couldn't help but shed tears when they heard it. Only the Great General Wang Dao said disapprovingly, "When the Gong forces the royal family and restores the Divine State, why should he be a Prisoner of Chu?" Here, although Zhou Jie's attitude is also touching, after all, it only stays in "sympathy" - the sympathy of seeing the scenery and sadness, while Wang Dao is a kind of care - carrying sympathy in the bottom of his heart, paying more attention to a certain kind of vigorous and promising transcendent courage.

Jesus crucified, Charatustutra who walked down to the top of the mountain, Zhuangzi who drummed and sang, and Lu Xun, who shouldered the dark floodgates, all have a great care. With a little care that includes the pursuit of the other side, it is good to face the profound and confusing cultural problems, especially the Cultural Problems of the Qinglou That Are Easy to "Mistakenly Fall into the Depths of the Lotus Flower", and in the specific operation, it can not only achieve "cold eyes to the ocean", but also "hot wind and rain". As far as an ordinary intellectual is concerned, he cannot be vainly compared to the high wind of the great people, but can only be said to be "green shirted and upright", try to shake away distractions, and pursue a certain realm that is not separated, and there will be no complaints.
