In the end, everything in the world is nothing more than dust and earth. A "Dream of the Red Chamber", the inexhaustible daughter is sad and sad, the inexplicable world is sparse and cold, and the true and false fog that cannot be guessed is cloudy. The moon is rare, and the clouds are easy to disperse. Qingwen, a "Furong daughter" who can make Jia Baoyu treat her differently, has a heart higher than the sky, and as a lowly person, she only attracts resentment because of her dexterity. Where the soul returned, it was said that Shou Yu was born of slander, and for thousands of years, Qingwen's death was foggy and there were many opinions. When I opened the Red Chamber scroll again, perhaps, there was a new taste in the darkness.
"Sooner or later, I will have to pay it back"
From an early age, Qingwen was sold to the slaves of Jia Fu as slaves. Whenever Mamma Lai went to Jia Province, she often took her with her, only because of her dexterity, Jia Mu liked it when she saw it, and Grandma Lai honored Jia Mu. This kind of slave status that is given as a gift to the master by the slave is the lowest. Qingwen has been an orphan since she was a child, and her only relatives are her uncle and cousin Duohun and Duo, who has an affair with Jia Lian.
However, friends who know the Red Chamber know that Duo Hun Worm is a drunkard who sees profit and forgets righteousness; and this duo girl is even more "handsome and handsome" demon. For Qingwen, these two people are called relatives, but there is no love at all. It can be seen that a single woman who has been lonely and bitter since childhood, "neither uncle, nor brother in the end", has decided the tragedy of fate from birth.
Although Qingwen's ending is destined to be tragic, she looks dexterous, articulate, excellent needlework, cheerful and eccentric, has never been the same as other beards, slave face and knees, condescending to the car and horse, everything is only "for my heart", and later for Baoyu's illness to make up for the golden sparrow, Baoyu also treated her differently. At the same time, Qingwen is also deeply loved by Jia Mu.
Among the characters in "Dream of the Red Chamber", she is the most resistant. She despised Madame Wang's small favors in order to co-opt the little maids; she vigorously mocked the attackers who flattered the master.
However, it is precisely because of her beauty and dexterity that even though she is arrogant and arrogant, she forgets her identity, even if she is loved by Jia Mu and favored by Baoyu, she is just a low-status lady in the Grand View Garden, but vainly pursues a kind of equality and status that is not in line with social reality. In the Rongguo Mansion, where the feudal hierarchy was strict, this rebellious spirit of hers, the self-respect and self-love she pursued, would inevitably be brutally suppressed by the ruling class of society.
Qingwen is a recognized beauty in the Grand View Garden, although the author has not described her appearance positively, but from the words of others, we have a preliminary impression that she has a "water snake waist, shaved shoulders, eyebrows and eyes are somewhat like Sister Lin", "these ladies, in total, are not as good as Qingwen". And Qingwen's dexterity is also well known, how many skilled craftsmen can not weave the finch gold fur, although she is sick, but she is very calm to make up. Even Jia Mu said that "the appearance of these ladies is not as good as his", and even Madame Wang, who hates her in every way, has to admit that "he is stronger than people".
However, she did not despise to use her "dexterity" to win the praise of the feudal ruling class. She didn't want to do anything as a slave, she just wanted to stand on an equal footing, as a "human" identity, and do it for her own heart, so she also had a sick and sick bird. However, her simple desire, in the Grand View Garden under the enslavement of feudal forces, is difficult to resonate, isolated and helpless, and only tragedy awaits her.
In addition, as far as her personality is concerned, some people think that she is innocent and innocent, and some people say that she is lonely and strong, and she is bitter and mean. However, I think that Qingwen is pure, she did not seduce Baoyu like Madame Wang said, nor did she go to the position of Aunt Baoyu as a slave to attack people; Qingwen was kind and innocent, and she did not deliberately calculate others and frame others for the sake of her own fly head and small profits like some people in the Grand View Garden, and at the same time she hated the power struggle of stupid slaves and women, but profit was the only intention; Qingwen had self-respect and self-love, so she despised the nature of the raiders who were content with or even willing to be slaves. He will not have any "private affair" with Baoyu like the raiders.
The so-called "Mu Xiu yu lin, the wind will destroy it", Qingwen's own personality that is incompatible with feudal etiquette, coupled with the gloomy and cold affection and the cruel oppression and slander of feudal defenders, thus ruining her beautiful youth.
"Love" until it becomes wounded
With Qingwen's death, Jia Baoyu has an unshirkable responsibility. Madame Wang expelled Qingwen because she thought that the "good Baoyu" was "spoiled by this hoof". Why would she think that Baoyu would be "seduced" and damaged, rather than that the servants would be seduced and broken by Baoyu? An example like this is no longer a two-piece example in the Grand View Garden, and isn't the thirty-second time in the novel "Appeal to the Heart of the Heart to Live Baoyu, Death to Jin Ju with Shame and Passion" a living example? Jin Jun, who was good at good ends, died under the threat of Lady Wang because of Baoyu's flirtation for no reason.
And Madame Wang, as the de facto ruler of the Rongguo Mansion and the head of the feudal aristocratic family, to a large extent lies in her incomprehension and panic about Baoyu's rebellious behavior, in order to vigorously maintain the traditional feudal order. Baoyu, who was born from a feudal nobleman, did not like to read, did not understand affairs, did not understand human feelings, had no ambition and fighting spirit, and only liked to mess around in the inner world, which was undoubtedly a rebellious image of a feudal force in the eyes of the feudal defender Madame Wang. However, Baoyu is her only son after all, and also the reliance of her position of power, she cannot understand Baoyu's abnormal behavior, and she does not have the ability to prevent his rebellious behavior from Baoyu herself, and she can only find the reason objectively and blame Baoyu's beloved "quiet daughters".
Although Jia Mu was the highest authority in the Rongguo Mansion, as mentioned earlier, Lady Wang was the actual ruler in the Rongguo Mansion. Lady Wang, who adhered to feudal etiquette, was in line with Jia Mu's will on most occasions. However, in the choice of Bao'er's grandmother, Jia Mu and Madame Wang had a big disagreement (mainly based on the first eighty times of Cao Xueqin's unfinished draft). Jia Mu advocated that her granddaughter Daiyu, who had always loved her, should be the best candidate for Bao's second grandmother, while Madame Wang had the heart to make her niece Bao Chao her daughter-in-law, so as to consolidate the position of the Wang family in Jia Province, and at the same time, she also wanted Jia Baoyu to accept her heart from now on, read more, take the road of economics, and shine on the lintel.
Under the false mask of feudal etiquette, Madame Wang could neither go against Jia Mu's wishes, nor could she directly attack Daiyu, who was a cousin (but she was actually sent to the fence, without any freedom). As a result, Qingwen, as the shadow of Daiyu, naturally became a victim of this struggle.
Jia Mu factor Xi Qingwen was clever, "the appearance of these ladies is not as good as him", and put her in Baoyu's room, which means that she wants to make Qingwen Baoyu's concubine in the future. Madame Wang may not be completely unaware of this. However, Lady Wang was "very disdainful of this wave" because of Qingwen's "eyebrows and eyes are a bit like Sister Lin".
For Daiyu, Lady Wang may still be hindered by her status as an aunt and dare not act rashly; for Qingwen, Lady Wang has no worries about cruelly persecuting her.
In addition, I mentioned at the beginning that Qingwen's death is inextricably linked to Baoyu. If Baoyu can know how to read more, get to know more about "economic questions", can understand self-esteem and self-love, and restrain his behavior more, why will there be many tragedies in the future?
As the saying goes, "If you don't teach, the father's fault", Jia Zheng often raises Baoyu to come, however, in our opinion, Jia Zheng does not understand any educational methods, which is nothing more than beating or scolding. And Jia Mu and Lady Wang, who have regarded Baoyu as a "heart and liver child" since childhood, have been excessively spoiled, repeatedly connived and shielded, but have brought deep harm and the price of life to others for no reason.
Whether it's Jin Jun, or Qingwen. On the one hand, the harm they suffered and the price they paid stemmed from the doting of the elders of the feudal family on their children and grandchildren, and on the other hand, from Baoyu's love and wanton behavior of his so-called "quiet daughter".
"Dream of the Red Chamber" is a masterpiece of realism, and the rise and fall of the feudal noble rongguo mansion is inextricably linked to the social reality of the time. Qingwen's death, in a small way, was slandered and slandered by the villains; on the large side, it was the iron-blooded suppression of the rebels by the remnants of feudalism.
But whether it comes from herself or from society, Qingwen's death is, in short, sad and lamentable. The sad thing is that a talented and good-looking "Hibiscus daughter", a cunning rabbit dies, and a lackey cooks. Living in such a world without status and dignity, "sooner or later you have to pay it back." Parents' excessive doting on their children will also bring inexplicable harm to others. Qingwen's death is not only the end of her life, but also heralds the arrival of the last days of the entire feudal society.
If Qingwen was not Baoyu's maid, or if Baoyu could follow the code of conduct of the feudal parents, then why did Qingwen end up with the tragic end of being expelled and dying. However, in such a social environment, Qingwen, who has a clear sense of resistance, must be a victim of the power struggle within the feudal family.
