The songs and judgments in A Dream of Red Mansions have made it very clear that Xifeng's tragedy has a lot of self-suffering. Jia's family was completely destroyed by the ice, and so was Xifeng. Everything was over. The two are compatible or appropriate, because Xifeng is a person who has a bearing on the overall situation. In A Dream of Red Mansions, there is a scene of "suddenly falling like a building and fainting like a lamp will be exhausted", which is completely an end-of-life scene. Therefore, this song of Wang Xifeng is not only related to himself, but also to his family, so the latter understanding is also possible.
Cao Xueqin not only wrote about the growth and prominence of Wang Xifeng, an important figure, but also arranged the process of Wang Xifeng's elimination. As written in the verdict of A Dream of Red Mansions, "One obeys, two orders, three people fail, and crying to Jinling is even sadder".

Since the publication of A Dream of Red Mansions, there have been many comments on Xifeng. For example, she is considered to be "a minister capable of managing the world, a traitor in troubled times", known as "female Cao Cao" and "rouge tiger" and a tigress. Wang Kunlun's famous saying in On Feng is "Hate Feng, scold Feng, but miss Feng".
Wang Xifeng is a figure in the official book of the twelve women in Jinling, and also belongs to the "unlucky department". Of course, the author has a profound and sharp criticism of Xifeng and exposed the secluded cave, but he can't help but admire her talent and lament her fate. The harsh, mechanical and blunt words in pre-literary analysis can not be summarized by simple praise and criticism; In other words, in terms of judgments and songs, they are full of proverbs and repeated hymns. It can be seen that both the author's attitude and the reader's feelings are complicated. What's more, literary works have unexpected long-term effects and permanent charm.
The tragic significance and human nature connotation of female artistic images in A Dream of Red Mansions far exceed the boundaries of gender. That is to say, as far as Wang Xifeng is concerned, her talent, her desire and her destiny are all like a mirror, which is both a "mirror of romance" and a "mirror of life". The front is radiant and the back is ruined, which is not only applicable to women, but also has a special warning function for those talented and insatiable people today.
