Junichiro Tanizaki, accompanied by Matsuko, composed Haruka Scribe, which was published in the Chuo Konami in 1933. As we all know, "Harumi Scribe" has been praised by Harumi from the beginning of its publication, praised by Haruto Sato, Yasunari Kawabata and others, and is considered to be Tanizaki's "Jimei Consciousness Daisei" work that depicts the theme of "female supremacy".
Set in the late Edo period to the Meiji period, Haruka is a young girl born in a Chinese herbal medicine merchant in Doshucho, Osaka, who has been beautiful, talented, and has a superb dance talent since childhood. However, when she was nine years old, she became blind due to an eye disease and began to learn the art of music. She studied the piano art hard, her skills were exquisite, and she was a genius in the field of shamisen, and later she became a generation of violinists. Sasuke, who is Haruka's leader, is an apprentice at the drugstore, four years older than him, and is responsible for holding Haruna's hand every day to take her to the master of harp, and diligently and pragmatically taking care of Chunqin's daily life. Obviously, at this time, Haruka and Sasuke are master-servant relationships. Over time, Sasuke secretly develops a crush on the beautiful Haruka and falls in love with Haruka's skills. In order to feel haruna's spiritual world, Sasuke began to secretly teach himself the art.
Until he was discovered, with the help of everyone, Haruka began to teach Sasuke the art of the piano, sasuke was lucky to become Haruka's apprentice, and the two naturally became a master-apprentice relationship. Haruka is a reclusive nature and harsh teaching, and Sasuke is physically and mentally tormented by her, but Sasuke enjoys it. The relationship between the two masters and servants and master and apprentice added a mysterious color, and gradually formed a de facto husband and wife relationship. Unexpectedly, one night, Chunqin was disfigured by an unknown villain with hot water. Haruka does not want Sasuke to see her disfigured face, and Sasuke blinds himself with an embroidery needle in order to protect his master Chunqin's self-esteem and maintain Chunqin's eternal beautiful image. In this way, Sasuke and Haruka not only resonate in the spiritual world, but also achieve unity in terms of physical condition. In Sasuke's view, this is a great happiness. In this way, through Sasuke's self-sacrifice, Haruka realizes the beauty of Haruka's absolute value.
According to Kanako Miede, "The narrator 'I' went beyond the original story of haruka in the Tale of Harumi and created a new Tale of Haruka Sasuke, and the image of Haruka was formed through Sasuke. Through the portrayal of Haruka in Sasuke's eyes, and the depiction of the relationship between the two sets off and achieves the image of Haruka. It can be said that "the shaping of the images of Haruka and Sasuke in "Chunqin Copy" is an artistic whole, and the relationship and changes between the sexes make each other's character images more prominent and distinct, truly achieving the effect of 1+1>2.

From the introduction in the book, it can be seen that Sasuke's hometown is Hino, Gangshu, and he also made a living by running a medicinal garden, and has been an apprentice in the kaoya for generations, and Sasuke is no exception. Sasuke came to Haruka's house at the age of 13 and served haruka as an apprentice, with his duty, rules, and strict observance of the dignity and inferiority of the master and servant. Sasuke faced such a lady of the family of the masters of the past, what kind of existence is Haruka?
Regarding the appearance of Haruka, Tanizaki was introduced by the records in the pamphlet "The Biography of Haruka Ya Harumen", coupled with a hazy photograph, which uses a large number of adjectives for direct and figurative description and portrayal from a third perspective.
First of all, Chunqin's appearance and posture are elegant and elegant, and she is a real lady. It is said that Chunqin is less than five feet tall, and her fingers and toes are very slender, so the utensils used are very delicate and small. Chunqin's face is a melon face the size of a palm, with a well-defined facial features and small eyes and nose. Such a spring organ seems to be made of cute fingers, so delicate and small that it seems to disappear in an instant. Through these descriptions, Chunqin is undoubtedly the image that people often praise, cute and delicate, talented and intelligent. For Sasuke, a country boy, the blind Haruka, who is reclusive and aristocratic, has an incredible charm. Compared with the healthy dark boys and girls who grew up in the countryside, Chunqin was weak, with a slender physique, a fair face, even pale, and slightly morbid. "That almost transparent pale and delicate delicate does not know how attractive, how charming", let Sasuke incomparably fascinated. Even after Sasuke's widower, he often praised Haruka's smooth skin and soft limbs, the flesh of his heels was smoother and softer than his cheeks, and his thick hair was as soft as cotton, which was rare in the world.
In addition, Chunqin has been very intelligent since childhood, began to learn dance at the age of four, and showed amazing talent, and the charm between her hands and feet was beyond the reach of Mai Ji, which was praised by her master and was considered to be able to achieve the world's proud name. Moreover, Chunqin has learned to read and write since childhood, and is no inferior to her two elder brothers. After Chunqin lost his sight, he gave up dancing and began to concentrate on learning the way of silk and bamboo, practicing the three-stringed piano. In terms of music, Chunqin had an innate talent, and after being blind, there was no other entertainment project, so she enthusiastically studied and became the best among the disciples of the same door, cultivating to an extraordinary realm. It can be seen that Chunqin is a very talented and talented woman.
From Sasuke's point of view in the master-servant relationship, in appearance, Haruka is a veritable beauty with plump flesh, fair skin, and thick hair. In terms of talent, Chunqin is a talented woman. In Sasuke's subjective conception, Haruka is the embodiment of perfection. In the face of the young ladies of the previous masters, especially the different Kind of Haruka, Sasuke may have hidden adoration and took care of her meticulously. Later, Sasuke was assigned by Haruka to take Haruka to and from class every day because he was "honester than anyone, not much nonsense".
Chunqin is regarded by her parents as a pearl in the palm of her hand, and she is pampered, but there are unpredictable storms in the sky, and people have bad luck. Chunqin contracted an eye disease at the age of nine, which eventually led to complete blindness. It can only be said that Chunqin's beauty and talent are so perfect that people are jealous, so fate gives her some disasters, like God taking a bite on the perfect apple. And "this mouth" can be said to be jealousy, or it can be said to be favoritism. Although sasuke came to Haruka's house, Haruka was blind. Sasuke didn't have anything to be dissatisfied with about that. According to Sasuke, he believed that Haruka's tightly closed eyelids due to blindness were brighter and more beautiful than her sister's open eyes. Sasuke even felt lucky, otherwise if he saw Haruka before he lost his sight, would he feel that Harukoto after his blindness was not so perfect? Therefore, the blind Haruka did not make Sasuke feel regrets, but rather regarded it as a kind of happiness. Sasuke is content to fantasize about the "perfect image" with the pupil light in Harumina's eyes before, thinking that this is what it should be, treating what he had from the beginning as the best, and fulfilling it.
In Chunqin's body, blindness in both eyes does not bring ugliness in the ordinary sense, but mutilated beauty, or more beautiful. Deaf people are like fools, blind people are like sages, Chunqin closes her eyes like Guanyin, subtle and compassionate, giving people a particularly elegant and gentle feeling. Gu Yongzhi believes: "Beauty and ugliness are interdependent, whether it is beauty or ugliness, if they are isolated from each other and presented separately, they are not necessarily very prominent; if each takes the other as a reference, especially in a sharp and strong contrast, they make the other more prominent." The aestheticization of ugliness is to allegorize beauty to ugliness and pin aesthetic value on ugliness. It can be said that the cause of beauty does not lie in perfection, or because of the existence of "ugly" or the existence of regret, it can make people imagine how glorious the spring piano before blindness is, and it is precisely with this defect that people will pay more attention to the existing beauty.
Sasuke thinks, "Our eyes and nose are all flawless, but none of the other things we can match our master are incomplete." The author believes that the reason why Sasuke is so obsessed and worshipped is that in addition to Haruka's appearance as a beautiful woman with outstanding appearance, there is also the most critical point, that is, whether it is the dancing talent before the blindness or the musical talent after the blindness, it shows the identity of the haruka talent. In addition, it is precisely because Haruka is blind in both eyes that her personality has changed greatly and her mood is gloomy, and only Sasuke can slightly satisfy her. It is precisely because Ofsaru is blind that the newcomer Sasuke has the opportunity and possibility to approach Haruka, and can be given the sacred mission of holding her hand every day to send her to learn the piano, so Sasuke will not regard Haruka's blindness as a disadvantage that is harmful and unprofitable. But to Haruka at this time, Sasuke seemed to be just a palm, and when he used it, he found it and waved it away when he didn't use it. Haruka is always so willful and stubborn towards Sasuke.
Speaking of Chunqin's personality, according to the book, Chunqin had a gentle temperament and treated people kindly before she became blind, but after she became blind, she became eccentric and gloomy. Coupled with the origin of the big lady, and the unique love of blind people, it is not allowed to be slightly neglected by others. From this point of view, the nature of Chunqin has been revealed to some extent. Therefore, serving Haruka was a chore that other apprentices were reluctant to do, but for Sasuke, as an apprentice, it was a supreme honor to be able to hold the hand of the god-like Haruka every day and put her little palm in the palm of his hand. On the way to pick up Haruka, as long as Haruka doesn't speak, Sasuke is silent, just carefully guarding her to avoid making mistakes.
Haruka is stubborn and willful, but she doesn't do this to everyone, except Sasuke. Perhaps it is Haruka who feels Sasuke's admiration and admiration for her, coupled with her original nature, causing Sasuke to cater to her, the more extreme and more intense she is to Sasuke. In this way, Sasuke and Haruka can be described as a perfect match, Haruka is blind, her temperament has changed greatly, and her personality is eccentric, and Sasuke happens to be adoring, respectful, deliberately pandering, and treating Haruka's special difficulties as a pampering and grace, and is willing to be like a thorn. The relationship between Chunqin and Sasuke under the master-servant relationship is like Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai- one is willing to fight, one is willing to be beaten. Harumin, who has a good face and is white and tender, receives a signal that Sasuke has special feelings for him, and knows that no matter how much he treats Sasuke too much, Sasuke will have no complaints. At this time, although Harukoshi under the master-servant relationship has some special requirements or actions for Sasuke, it is only a reasonable demand or special right granted by the master-servant status. But for Sasuke, he treats the torture and abuse as Haruka's pampering, and he is willing to eat it, which has to be said to be Sasuke's masochistic tendencies. So Chunqin boldly showed her nature. This nature is inconsistent with her previous well-behaved, cute, temperament, and literary art, which can be said to be demonic, taking advantage of other people's infatuation and worship of her, and wantonly trampling and torturing it.

Sasuke, as Haruka's leader, followed Haruka to Harumaki to learn shamisen at the Harumaki School. In addition to Haruka's studies, Sasuke sat quietly outside and waited, listening carefully, cultivating an interest in music, and then secretly taught himself to practice the shamisen. The author believes that this is mostly Love House and Uba. Sasuke quietly saves money, and finally gets his wish to buy a simple shamisen, sacrificing his sleep time, groping for the shamisen in the dark closet, experiencing the same suffering and blind world as Haruka, and unilaterally experiencing the supreme pleasure. Although Sasuke is a bright-eyed person, he sometimes envies the blind, which also lays the groundwork for Sasuke to become blind in the future. Until one day Sasuke was discovered practicing the shamisen, he thought that this matter would be completely over, but he did not expect that at Haruka's initiative, things took a turn for the better. Haruka asked Sasuke to play it, and although Sasuke was timid and cringing, he couldn't get away with it and plucked up the courage to play a few songs. Unexpectedly, Haruka's heart was quite popular, and at that time, Haruka pitied Sasuke's ambition and felt his enthusiasm, so he began to teach Sasuke's shamisen. In this way, Haruka and Sasuke's original master-servant relationship added another layer of master-apprentice relationship.
After the master-apprentice relationship was established, Haruka and Sasuke strictly implemented the master-apprentice etiquette in the same way that Harumatsu inspected the school and treated the beginner disciples. If it was a master game before, it has now gradually become a real master-apprentice relationship. Chunqin's previously vaguely abusive demonic tendencies in the master-servant relationship intensified after becoming a master-apprentice relationship. Later, after Chunqin began to recruit apprentices who studied piano music, she followed the strict and harsh teaching method of Chunsong Inspection School. In the process of teaching Sasuke, Haruka was always filled with the sound of scolding and even corporal punishment, and Sasuke would often be beaten by Haruna to cry. Later, because Haruka's scolding voice and Sasuke's cries often came in the middle of the night, disturbing the rest of the people, they were discouraged and discouraged by their parents. Haruka is obedient on the surface, but behind his back, he sneers that Sasuke has no backbone, making him clench his teeth and not make a sound even if he is in pain. And what kind of beating a man faces will cry, which shows the severity of Chunqin and the fierceness of his hands
However, Haruka's serious devotion and authority to Sasuke are not as painful and helpless as ordinary people's eyes. "His crying was not only to endure the hardships, but also to express tears of gratitude for the encouragement of the teachers and lords on whom he depended." Sasuke resists Haruka's characteristic rebukes and scoldings and practices hard to please Haruka. The two people seem to have formed a tacit understanding, enjoying the perverted pleasure of sadism and abuse respectively. Later, "from the winter of the eighteenth year of Sasuke, under the arrangement of his master, he was also allowed to enter the door of the Harumaki Inspection School, which was to stop the way directly taught by Haruka." At this point, the mentor-apprentice relationship between Haruka and Sasuke is theoretically over, but "one day as a teacher, a lifetime as a teacher", even if Haruka and Sasuke have become a de facto husband and wife, their master-apprentice friendship has continued. Especially after the death of the two, Sasuke's tombstone is on the left side of Haruka's tombstone, only half the size of Haruka, and sits humbly like a bow, observing the etiquette of master and apprentice.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > chunqin in the de facto couple relationship</h1>
During the master-servant relationship, Sasuke was to take care of Haruka's daily life. The so-called daily life, huge and meticulous, even Sasuke took care of Haruka bathing and washing her whole body, both of them were calm. It can be said that Sasuke is very familiar with Haruka's flesh, and the two have already formed an intimate relationship that ordinary people cannot achieve. The visual familiarity of the senses slowly catalyzes the occurrence of physical relations. When Chunqin's mother realized that Chunqin was pregnant and that things could not be concealed, Chunqin confessed, but refused to reveal who the other party was. As an open secret, everyone suspects that it is and can only be Sasuke's child, so Haruka's parents have several attempts to broker a marriage between Haruka and Sasuke, but Haruka is strongly opposed. Until the baby was born, his appearance looked exactly like Sasuke's, but Haruka still refused to marry and denied that the baby was Sasuke's child. Even if Chunqin's parents threaten their children, Chunqin is still firm in her attitude. At this point, the child's birth and appearance can already sit in the de facto husband and wife relationship between Haruka and Sasuke.
Although Haruka and Sasuke had children and formed a de facto husband and wife relationship, from a formal point of view, they were still a master-servant relationship and a master-apprentice relationship. Since Sasuke became Haruka's disciple, the two rarely had the opportunity to sit until late at night, unless they practiced together, usually Haruka always maintained a high-ranking big lady posture, Sasuke was only a leader for her, or even just a palm. Even if the two end up living in the same house, the fact that Sasuke was a hand-holding servant and how he was treated didn't change much from before. Because Haruka hates being treated as a couple by others, she will specifically demand that she must abide by the etiquette of master and servant and the status of master and apprentice in every word and deed. There are certain rules for the way of speaking, if you occasionally violate it, even if you kneel down and prostrate your head to apologize, you will not easily forgive, and you will always stubbornly blame him for his rudeness.
Haruka and Sasuke's "married life" is even worse. Especially after Haruka went blind, her personality changed drastically, her temper was strange, she was often scolded, and she often played with the strings, resulting in a very strong fingertip, and hitting people with her bare hands was also quite painful, and Sasuke suffered deeply. Moreover, Haruka is a typical aristocratic identity, with extremely high requirements for various details of life, from clothing, nails, diet, bathing, bird raising, and a series of things that can and cannot be thought of are taken care of by Sasuke, and the slightest dissatisfaction is scolded and abused. Once, Sasuke had a terrible toothache and a severe swelling of his right cheek, but he could only hold on to it. While helping Haruna warm her feet, Sasuke used her swollen cheeks instead of chests to burn her feet to barely contain the pain. Unexpectedly, Haruna kicked Sasuke in the cheek, scolding him for being arrogant and arrogant. In this way, Haruka's harsh treatment of Sasuke is the norm, and the status of the two people has not changed because of the existence of a de facto husband and wife relationship. Even in Haruka's eyes, he was Sasuke's superior master, and Sasuke was still the slave.
Facing Sasuke, who is a domestic servant, she enjoys his admiration and admiration, so on the surface Haruka must be like a master on a high level, enjoying the pleasure of wanton abuse of the next person. In Haruka's eyes, having a physical relationship with her subordinates is a taint and humiliation of her noble status, but she also needs Sasuke to bring her physical pleasure, and at this time, Haruka is really a combination of contradictions, the embodiment of angels and demons. However, the author believes that if Haruka really just regards Sasuke as his subordinate, it is understandable that he is abusive and scolding. But when Sasuke "treats the young female disciples a little kinder or instructs them in the art of the piano," Haruka is unhappy, "and although she is silent and jealous on the surface, she will deal with him in a worse way." In the relationship between Haruka and Sasuke, Haruka has a small emotion and possessiveness that is characteristic of women towards the other half, and seeing Sasuke having contact or closeness with other women, even if it is normal, she will be displeased and will fight back against Sasuke even more intensely. This also shows that Haruka is not only a master-servant relationship with Sasuke, but also a factor of love or similar love. This factor develops to the extreme, and Haruka shows a strong sensitivity and possessiveness, treats Sasuke as her personal belongings, relies on him, and abuses him, thus expressing herself as the center of Sasuke's world.
In addition, what can better illustrate the relationship between Haruka and Sasuke is Haruko's second disaster besides blindness. Chunqin was poured hot soup for being jealous or retaliated against, and her injuries were serious, resulting in a major change in appearance. Haruka's first instinct in the face of this man-made disaster was to prevent Sasuke from seeing her face. Perhaps for Haruka, what is more painful than the pain she has experienced is being seen by outsiders, especially Sasuke, when she sees her burned face. Haruka thought that her face had to be seen by Sasuke after removing the bandage, and she couldn't help but cry. This is enough to show that Haruka's feelings for Sasuke are special, she is not afraid of the eyes of the whole world, as long as Sasuke is beautiful in her eyes, she is confident and brave enough. Of course, Sasuke also has his own response to the special feelings from Haruka. In order to fulfill his promise to Haruka, "I will not look at your face, please rest assured", Sasuke pierced his eyeball with a needle and became a blind person like Haruka. When Haruka knew that Sasuke had blinded his eyes and could no longer see his ruined face, he only said "Really?" and fell into a long meditation. Sasuke believes that in his life and years to come, he has never felt happier than in these few minutes of silence.
Only then was Haruko and Sasuke truly in the same world, the world of the blind. "In the midst of silence, the sixth sense, which only the blind have, is beginning to sprout in Sasuke's faculties", two people in the blind world, in the world where only the two of them are hugging each other, two hearts crossing the barrier of the master and servant, merging into one, and the mind is born again. "Cut off the inside and outside in an instant, so that the ugliness turns back to beauty", for Haruka, Sasuke's blindness will not see his face after burns, as if he can't see such a self, as if the previous Haruna is back. For Sasuke, he couldn't see Haruka's burned face, so that Haruka's perfect image would be preserved.
In summary, the Chunqin Copy portrays Chunqin through the depiction of the relationship between Chunqin and Sasuke, that is, the master-servant relationship, the master-apprentice relationship, and the de facto husband-wife relationship. The author believes that, first of all, there is no doubt that Haruka is a woman with Japanese characteristics and traditional classical talents, a beautiful woman with a good face, a small and exquisite face, a fair complexion, and a plump flesh, which deeply attracts Sasuke. Secondly, there are a large number of positive and lateral depictions depicting Haruka's high artistic talent, profound achievements, and a talented woman who enjoys Sasuke's admiration. Third, in every relationship, Haruka has the behavior of scolding and mistreating Sasuke, and has an unusual "nature". After going blind, wantonly abusing and torturing men who worship themselves, especially after she was burned, suggests that Sasuke made sacrifices for herself and is a woman with a sadistic nature. Finally, Chunqin, as a miss qianjin of a famous family, cannot give up her innate aristocratic status and master status and the sense of superiority they bring. In the face of Sasuke, who has been a domestic servant, she enjoys his admiration and admiration, in order to show that she and Sasuke are different from each other, she does not admit the relationship between the two in front of people, and several times gives her children to be adopted, enjoying the pleasure of wanton abuse of the next person.
