Last time, Lin Daiyu saw two furnishings in Mrs. Wang's daily living room.
The same "Wen Wang Ding" indicates that Jia Zheng inherited the Rongguo Mansion, just as King Wu of Zhou inherited King Wen of Zhou, which is justified.
Another "Ruyao Beauty" is obviously a portrayal of Mrs. Wang, what does it mean?
☞ Let's talk about the Red Chamber series 160, and use the smallest space to talk about the details in "Dream of Red Mansions".
(The third round) the big kang near the window is covered with scarlet poppers, and the front is set up with a big red money python backrest, a stone blue money python pillow, and an autumn fragrant money python large mattress. On both sides, there is a pair of plum blossom lacquer small tables. On the left is a few Wang Ding spoon incense boxes, and on the right are a few Ru kiln beauties - the goblets are inserted with seasonal flowers, and tea bowls and phlegm boxes and other things......"
"Ru kiln beauty" is interspersed with seasonal flowers, indicating that the "decoration" is extremely beautiful.
Flowers and beauties complement each other, reflecting the "quality" of Mrs. Wang.
"Ru kiln" is the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty: Ru, Guan, Ge, Jun, Ding's head, the "rain over the azure" color, representing the beauty of Song porcelain, it originated from Ru kiln.
Ru kiln also represents nobility and extraordinary origin. It indicates that Mrs. Wang was born in the four major families, the Wang family, and is better than Mrs. Xing.
Born in a famous family, she can be described as a "beauty", and Lin Daiyu has such a second aunt to take care of her, which seems to be an excellent destination.
But is that the case? Apparently not.
Ruyao beauty, the key is in this "gob" word.
What is "goblet"? Two explanations:
First, the ancient utensils for holding wine.
Second, the wooden tablets used for writing in ancient times.
The Ru kiln beauty here is undoubtedly the first kind.
"Rites and Special Animal Feeding Rites" said: The real two lords, two Yao, four Yao, one corner and one scattered.
Ge Hong's "Hug Puzi Wine Commandment" of the Jin Dynasty recorded: Cover the thousands of bells and hundreds of bells, and Yao Shun's drink is also.
All indicate the practicality of Yao, and Houyao has also become a ritual vessel for sacrifice, which can correspond to Wenwang Ding.
Of course, this Ru kiln beauty is a goblet-shaped vase made by later generations, not the original wine container.
Ruyao beauty Yao "abandoned wine and flower arrangement", and lost its original intention, only for decoration and decoration, implying that Mrs. Wang's role in the Jia family was no better than that of Mrs. Xing.
Mrs. Xing is "too obedient to her husband", and Mrs. Wang is "embarrassed".
And "goblet" has another meaning: it refers to multi-angular and prismatic objects.
Gothballs are the most likely to accidentally hurt people and require extra attention.
What's even more terrifying is that the meaning of "Yao" can also be extended to "谲觚".
"Zhou Li, Tianguan, Gongzheng" cloud: Remove its obscenity and its strange people.
Here, "Yao" is used as "treacherous", referring to the evil and deceitful character.
On the whole, Mrs. Wang, who corresponds to Ruyao Beauty, has the character of "Yao Yao" under the decoration of flowers and beauties, which is the most critical to Lin Daiyu.
The second aunt is "inconsistent from the outside", which makes Lin Daiyu's future life in Jiafu uncertain.
Cao Xueqin is the best at ambushing stories in these details. The focus is not on the utensils themselves, but on the allusions behind them, and readers should pay special attention to them.
✍ The above views are sorted out and inferred from the story clues before the 80th episode of "Dream of Red Mansions".
