Jia's mother has two banquets in the Grand View Garden, that is, Jia's mother accompanies Grandma Liu, and takes all the daughters-in-law and girls to visit the Grand View Garden, and the breakfast and lunch are all carried out in the Grand View Garden. Especially at the luncheon, Sister Feng and Mandarin Duck teased Grandma Liu as a female film, poured her a lot of wine, and almost got Grandma Liu drunk.
After the banquet, Jia Mu led everyone to the Lucui Nunnery, and the owner of the Lucui Nunnery, Miaoyu, hurriedly took in, cooked tea for everyone, and did the host's hospitality. This paragraph also has nuanced descriptions, such as introducing Miaoyu's tea utensils one by one, such as Jia's mother's preference for eating tea that impressed the reader, such as Miaoyu quietly pulling Daiyu Baochai to eat body tea. The details are full of articles, not today, what this article wants to say is that Jia's mother entered the cui hermitage and the original Yuan Chun Xing Grand View Garden entered the cui hermitage, there is a fundamental difference.
When the provincial concubine visited the Grand View Garden, she went to the Lucui Nunnery to worship the Buddha, and the original text (eighteen times):
Suddenly, I saw the Buddha Temple around the mountain, (Yuan Chun) was busy with another hand to go in to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and inscribed a plaque: Bitter Sea Cihang. and extra grace and the general nun woman's way.
Yuan Chun wants to enter the Ku Cui An, the first action is to hand the hand, not only Yuan Chun, in fact, this is a person's subconscious reaction. The Grand View Garden itself is the provincial palace of Yuanchun, and all the religious personnel seem to serve the religion, but in fact, in the Grand View Garden is to serve the Yuanchun and serve the royal family. Yuan Chun will not be a little slacking off because of her master, she treats the carrier of religion with a respectful attitude, this matter should be like this, and no one will make useless arguments.
Let's take a look at the actions of Jia Mu and the others after they were full of wine and food, the original text (forty-one times):
At that moment, Jia's mother and others had tea, and brought Grandma Liu to Lucui Nunnery. Miaoyu hurriedly took it in. Seeing the flourishing flowers and trees in the courtyard, Jia Mu smiled and said: "In the end, it is their cultivators, who often repair it when they have nothing to do, and it is more and more beautiful than other places." As he spoke, he went to the East Meditation Hall. Miaoyu smiled and let in, and Jia Mu said: "We have all eaten wine and meat, you have a bodhisattva here, and you have sinned." Let's sit down here, bring your good tea, and we'll have a cup and go. Miaoyu listened and hurriedly went to cook tea.
When Jia's mother entered the cui hermitage, Miaoyu let her and everyone go to the East Meditation Hall, she was also afraid of the Bodhisattva's sin, so she did not dare to enter the main hall of the Buddha Hall, which shows that she knew that she should not come to the Buddha Gate after drinking and meat. But she still came, and everyone was in a state of full wine and food, and everyone entered the Kucui Temple. The reason why I know that I can't do it is because it is a family temple, or a Bodhisattva fire enshrined in Jiafu, so it is special.
From the foregoing, we can know that before Yuanchun entered the nunnery, he performed the basic ritual of taking his hands, and after entering the nunnery, he first burned incense, and then worshiped the Buddha. Compared with Yuan Chun, Jia Mu and everyone are so arrogant.
There are many temples and nunnery supported by Jiafu, if the reader carefully reads the relevant texts, he will find that these nunnery is precisely the place where the filth is hidden, and the people in Jiafu are the main owners of this bad thing, Wang Xifeng concocted the tragedy of Zhang Jinge and Zhang Shoubei's son in the Mantou Nunnery for money; Ma Daopo held the money of Jiafu in one hand, and used the other hand to practice the Nightmare Demon Feng Sister and Baoyu; the Narcissus Nunnery and so on became the tools of Mrs. Wang to harm the little plays; and even the happy Wang Yitie personally admitted that his elixir was all a trick to deceive people......
The hearts of these Buddhist disciples are dark, and the root cause is that the hypocrisy of the people in the upper class society they serve is nominally to worship the Buddha and give alms, but secretly it is just to satisfy their own selfish desires and goals. As for the Lucui Nunnery at home, where to go in and out and take care of the basic Buddhist rituals, they already think in their bones that they spend money, and the gods and Buddhas are just high-level waiters who serve themselves.
Miaoyu as a monk, she herself is also a cultural person, her poetry and cultural level even Daiyu, Xiangyun admired, Daiyu has always been high, but every time she interacts with Miaoyu, Miaoyu immediately incarnates as a big sister who controls the situation and guides everyone, Daiyu and others are only obedient and obedient, Miaoyu even unceremoniously ridiculed Daiyu for being a layman, and she couldn't even drink the rain the next year. Daiyu is the representative of the literati, and Miaoyu is also the representative of the literati. When facing the masters of Jiafu, her own provider, Miaoyu lost her identity as a person outside the world, but greeted her master like a master, and welcomed Jia's mother and the masters of Jiafu.
This is the weakness of the literati, and it is the sorrow of the literati. "Dream of Red Mansions" wrote a lot of the sorrow of the literati, the Lin family has no inheritor, Jia Yucun has changed from a promising young man, through the dye vat of society, to a greedy and delicate self-interested villain who clings to the powerful, Daiyu has to let go of the profound heritage of the Lin family, and only keeps to herself, Miaoyu is known as a spiritual cleanliness, just from her tea, she knows that the literati temperament on her body has long dissipated most of it.
A society, only the prosperity of culture, the fullness of the spiritual world, the real self-confidence and cultural identity of people's hearts, just like the spiritual outlook of people in the Tang Dynasty, only there is a Qing generation, the ruler has castrated the literati, in Cao Xueqin's pen, the same can deeply feel this castration, Cao Gong ten years of hard work to cry the Red Mansion, the reader also sighs the sadness of such an era.
