Vulgar can cater to the public, and elegance can enhance the public. It can only be classified as popular literature and market literature, and if it is not vulgar, it can only be classified as aristocratic literature and scholastic literature. Only when elegance can be vulgar, vulgarity can be elegant, elegance and vulgarity can be appreciated, and solemnity and harmony can the function of literature be brought into full play and the charm of literature can be shown to the extreme.
The judgments, songs, inscriptions, plaques, couplets, poems, riddles, poems, In particular, the fiftieth episode of "Luxue Nuan Fighting for Couplet Instant Poems Warm Xiangwu Ya Spring Lantern Riddles" wrote a joint poem by Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun and others, which exhausted the rhyme, dabbled in a wide range of meanings, and was beautiful, which can be called elegant to the extreme.
And Aunt Zhao scolded Jia Huan, Mrs. He scolded Chunyan, and Xue Pan hummed rhyme, which is the ultimate in vulgarity. Compared with how the mother-in-law scolded Chunyan, it is like this:
Her mother was also angry with Fang Guan, and hated Chunyan for not disobeying his heart, so she came up and shaved her ears and scolded: "Little prostitute, how many years have you been able to go up? You also learned from that little woman who was a light wave, why can't you control you? I can't control what you do, you fell out of my cunt, don't you dare to care about you! Since I can't go to the place where you hooves go, you should die there to serve and run out again." ”
This paragraph of scolding does not avoid vulgar words, uses contemptuous names, does not hesitate to spell, is very vicious, shows the side of mother and daughter to the fullest, and also vividly portrays the distorted psychology of He Pozi who is eager to save face after being humiliated.
It is worth noting that "Dream of Red Mansions" does not deliberately separate the elegant and the vulgar, but blends them in the same scene, and even in the words of the same character. For example, Grandma Liu entered Rongguo Mansion for the second time, and wrote Grandma Liu and a group of Jiafu characters to say passwords, Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu's words were very elegant, while Grandma Liu's words were very popular. Writing Xue Lin's elegant words is staggered between the vulgar orders of mandarin ducks, which seems to be interesting. As for Jia Mu's words, they are elegant and vulgar.
Compared with "Dream of Red Mansions", "Water Margin" is vulgar and elegant to the top, and the level of elegance and vulgarity of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Journey to the West" is difficult to compare with "Dream of Red Mansions". Elegance and vulgarity are benchmarks, which is one of the reasons why the artistic achievements of "Dream of Red Mansions" have reached the peak.
