Meng Guang took over Liang Hong's case - raising eyebrows

author:Little Tan talks about the Red Chamber

In the early Eastern Han Dynasty, Liang Hong was born, decades earlier than Zhang Heng, and was a famous gaoshi, who had a condition for finding a wife, that is, he could return to the mountains and forests with him.

Meng Guang, thirty years old, has not yet married, the reason is ugly, fat and ugly, extremely strong, not Liang Hong did not marry, Liang Hong learned that he married her.

After marriage, Meng Guang realized that his appearance could not be shown, and every time he made a good meal, he raised several cases between his eyebrows and handed them to his husband, one was to cover his appearance, and the other was to show respect for his husband.

This is the origin of the case, describing the harmonious relationship between husband and wife, respecting each other as guests.

Meng Guang took over Liang Hong's case - raising eyebrows

You may ask, then this is Liang Hong taking over the Meng Guang case, how can it be the other way around?

That should mention Wang Shifu's "Records of the West Chamber", the third book of the second fold "Noisy Jane", the original text:

[Sanxu] Others do different kinds of kisses, Li Gen took a second look before, and even more did Dao MengGuang to take over Liang Hong's case.

When the Red Lady saw Cui Yingying, she took the initiative to invite Zhang Sheng to meet and used the allusion of raising eyebrows to ironically cui Yingying. I underestimated you, it is simply Meng Guang took Liang Hong's case, which is to say the opposite, deliberately reversed to blame Cui Yingying, so it became Meng Guang who took Liang Hong's case.

In the Dream of the Red Chamber, Cao Xueqin quoted the allusion of the "West Chamber".

Bao Yu smiled, "Then there is a sentence in "Noisy Jane" that says it best, 'When did you take over Meng Guang's case with Liang Hong?' This is the best sentence. The seven words 'Meng Guang took over Liang Hong's case' are just ready-made classics, and it is difficult for him to ask the interesting question of the three imaginary words of "when is it", when did he pick up? You say I listen. ”

The reason is this:

When Jia Mu saw Baoqin, she was very fond of it, and asked Madame Wang to recognize her as a dry daughter, and also sent her a very valuable Piece of Jiaojingqiu, and even Baochao, who was always steady and peaceful, was jealous of Baoqin.

Bao Yu was worried that Dai Yu was sulking for this, it can be seen that Dai Yu and Bao Chao sang a harmony, the speech was harmonious, the state was intimate, Dai Yu called Bao Qin directly to his sister, but he also fell alone,

He then asked Daiyu, when did you become so good? From the time Dai Yu said the wrong wine order, Bao Chao told Bao Yu about sending bird's nest.

Cao Xueqin's use of this allusion to the relationship between Bao Chao and Dai Yu does not seem appropriate. Meng Guang took over Liang Hong's case, which refers to the relationship between husband and wife, between men and women.

On the contrary, I think that this is Cao Xueqin's understanding of the feelings of Meng Guang and Liang Hong.

Meng Guang and Liang Hong do not have love, Meng Guang blindly pays, and Liang Hong blindly accepts, there is no love between men and women for Meng Guang, and there is no intimacy between husband and wife.

Just like the Dream of the Red Chamber, the lifelong mistake of the evaluation of Baochao:

In the air, the mountains are full of crystal snow... Sighing in the world, the beauty is not enough to believe, even if it is a case of raising eyebrows, it is difficult to reconcile in the end.

Cao Xueqin quoted the allusion that Meng Guang took over the Liang Hong case, which is intended to illustrate the relationship between Baoyu and Baochao, more respect, less love, and their marriage relationship has nothing to do with love.

The only thing he loved deeply was Lin Daiyu, who cried and cried all day, and Lin Daiyu, who was deeply in tune with his spirit.

And Meng Guang is not Liang Hong's favorite, Meng Guang waits for Liang Hong, this is respect, and Liang Hong has accepted such a waiting all his life, and he also lacks love. Therefore, raising eyebrows has not always been the meaning of the affection of husband and wife, but represents the relationship between husband and wife similar to friendship.
