foreword
It is often said that love is the eternal theme of literature. Whether it is correct or not, there is no denying that there is a love relationship between men and women. So, what is love? "Love" in Ci Hai refers to the feelings between men and women. Two of a kind, only by understanding each other and loving each other can there be love.
As the pinnacle of China's classical novels, A Dream of Red Mansions depicts the love tragedy of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. Is it possible that there are other love relationships? If so, is its existence possible and reasonable? How did it develop?
Goethe once sang enthusiastically: which young man is not good at love? Which young girl is not good at Chun Qing? Boldly expressed people's long-hidden voices. People are not vegetation, how can they be ruthless? Everyone has worldly desires; Mencius Gao Zi also said that "eating color is also sex". Regardless of ancient and modern China and foreign countries, regardless of high officials and dignitaries or the working people at the bottom; Whether it is a master or a slave, it is also inevitable for love. As an unprecedented classic-A Dream of Red Mansions, it is not only about the loveliness of talented people and beautiful women, but also about the empty preaching of traditional historical novels. It not only describes the complex emotional entanglements between Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai and Baoyu, but also describes the rise and fall of the four feudal families of Jia Wang and Shi Xue, as well as the fate of a large number of men and women, resulting in one tragedy after another. The appearance of a large number of black and pink characters and the constant occurrence of tragic events sounded the alarm for the love between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, and also sounded the alarm for the decline of the four feudal families. But this is not what we are discussing here. What we want to say is that in A Dream of Red Mansions, in the special atmosphere of the Grand View Garden, among a large number of young and energetic girls, another fact that is not valued by everyone is real. A dream of red mansions, a long grand view garden. How can it be like a stagnant pool without any emotional ripples? Facts have proved that this is impossible. "Spring can't close the garden, an apricot comes out of the wall." Could it just be "an almond out of the wall"?
What is particularly worth mentioning is that while describing the main clue of the article, that is, the author outlines the love conflict between "Mu Shi Qian Meng" and "Jin Yu Marriage" with a lot of pen and ink, he also outlines the fate of two slaves with a lot of space. These two minions are still regarded as the shadows of Daiyu and Baochai, and they are Baoyu's personal maids, Xiren and Qingwen.
Baoyu often said, "Daughters are made of water and men are made of mud. I feel refreshed when I see my daughter; I feel stinky when I see a man. " (the second time) under the guidance of his rebellious character, his special feelings for his "daughter" or his "universal love" thought; In ancient China, as a special environment that allowed polygamy, there was no contradiction between xiren and Baoyu, especially between Qingwen and Baoyu, and between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu or Xue Baochai. Just like Xue Baochai's default position of targeting menstruation, it was reasonable between Baoyu Qingwen and Daiyu. Who says love must be her? Who says that a person who has a crush on several people at the same time cannot exist? Who says that only Baoyu and Daiyu have a relationship and love, but Baoyu as a master and Qingwen as a slave can't and can't? Love has no boundaries, only secular vision and instructions of benevolence and morality! We don't advocate any behavior that doesn't conform to traditional morality, but we believe in facts and are willing to speak and analyze them with facts, so as to entertain readers, let all people with doubts understand and discuss with all people with lofty ideals. When commenting on A Dream of Red Mansions, Chen Qitai (1800- 1864, owner of Fengge in Tonghua) inherited Tu Youyou's view that A Dream of Red Mansions was Baoyu's own situation and made further analysis. He also thinks that A Dream of Red Mansions "does its best". Studying the essence of Baoyu's love carefully, his conclusions are roughly two: first, the essence of "love" focuses on intimacy, not lust, and second, the expression of love is the unity of "love for the rich" and "love for the exclusive". Looking at the whole Dream of Red Mansions, it is not difficult to understand the love between Daiyu and Baoyu. The special relationship between Qingwen and Baoyu is the unity of intimacy, "love of blog" and "love of specialty", and its relationship is not difficult to understand. They are bosom friends, and their relationship between life and death is another precious fruit blooming with dazzling light in this special soil of Daguan Garden. Next, let's start with Qingwen's personality characteristics; The relationship between xiren and Baoyu; And the relationship between Baoyu and Qingwen.
One. Heart is higher than the sky, despicable.
In the history of redology, just as Hua Xiren has always been regarded as "the shadow of Baochai", Qingwen has also been regarded as "the shadow of Daiyu" (A Dream of Red Mansions was written by Tu Youyou, a Qing Dynasty man). In the whole novel, we can know that Qingwen looks a bit like Daiyu, and more importantly, her life experience is really too much like Daiyu, but Qingwen is a slave and Lin Daiyu is the master. In A Dream of Red Mansions, Qingwen and Baoyu's handmaid Xiren were mentioned together in the fifth episode. However, his personality and fate were pointed out at this time.
In the novel, the author writes that Jia Baoyu sleepwalks in a dreamland and looks at the unfortunate company under the guidance of the police fairy. In the supplementary book, the first picture Baoyu saw was Qingwen. Baoyu reached out and cooked the teaching AIDS first, took out a book and opened it. "。 I saw a picture painted on the front page, which was neither a figure nor a landscape, but it was stained with ink. After a few lines of handwriting, it said,' The moon is hard to meet, and the clouds are easy to disperse. The heart is higher than the sky, based on this. Romance and dexterity are offensive. A long life is full of slander, but an affectionate child is empty. The painting "The Fifth Back" and the words in it not only point out the harsh environment of Qingwen's life, but also point out her personality characteristics, and of course point out her position in the teaching aid book-Home Page, which shows that the author attaches great importance to Qingwen. At the same time, it also points out its unfortunate experience; And the relationship with Baoyu.
Qingwen grew up lonely and humble. At the age of ten, she was bought as a maid and became a slave. Later, Grandmother Jia saw that she was beautiful, intelligent, scheming and different, and she loved her very much. So she was filial to her grandmother by her sister Lai and became a slave to her master. Later, because the old lady loved Baoyu, there was a shortage of people in Baoyu's room, so she was given to Baoyu by the old lady and became the first-class maid in Baoyu's room, ranking second only to Xiren. That is, in this case, in the free atmosphere with democratic tendency led by Baoyu, under the integration with the ideological tendency and emotional foundation of * * *, in the continuous development, the two talents became bosom friends and forged a feeling of life and death.
Although Qingwen's so-called relatives only have one aunt, uncle, brother Wu Gui and sister-in-law. The sister-in-law is a "naughty boy" who dresses like a demon every day and only "engages in some romantic activities"; Although Qingwen lives in the harsh environment of "the moon is hard to meet, and the colorful clouds are easy to disperse", her position is humble. There is a wound in my heart that is hard to calm down. She is "romantic and smart", but her personality is like "explosive carbon". At the slightest touch, she will burst into a strong fire of resistance. Although a slave, she is a person who dares to pursue equality and safeguard personal dignity. A sensual and lovely three-dimensional person. Baoyu's love for her is not only because she is the best among many daughters in Grand View Garden; Her love for Baoyu is by no means because Baoyu is her charming master. They established a love relationship on the basis of equality. In the novel, Qingwen's writing style is not long, but the author uses the pen of genius to turn decay into magic, and in the first eighty chapters, he writes his personality experience and love affair with Jia Baoyu in a shocking way. In fact, if there is no similar appearance and temperament with Daiyu, and there is no certain emotional foundation, how can Qingwen become the shadow of Miss Lin? Why did Mr Cao Xueqin take pains to describe Qingwen and Daiyu so vividly?
2. Romantic dexterity makes people complain
The relationship between Qingwen and Baoyu is pure and equal. Their intimate relationship. It is developed step by step. Its essence is quite different from that of xiren. She has no servility to Hua Shiren. There is no physical relationship with Jia Baoyu; There is no utilitarian purpose of others consciously or unconsciously following Baoyu.
Hua Xiren has always been regarded as "the shadow of Baochai". Both birth and status are not much better than Qingwen. But he not only took care of Baoyu in his daily life, but also tried his best to persuade Baoyu, who was rebellious, to embark on the road of "career economy". xiren's meticulous care for Baoyu not only made Baoyu dependent on her, but also won a good reputation for himself and became a "virtuous" person. She not only became the aunt of Mr. Bao, who was unanimously recognized by Jia Fu, but also was promoted from a "big girl" to a "quasi-outsider". All this is inseparable from her submission to humiliation. In order to stabilize her position, she seems to have become the spokesperson of the feudal class and the actual supervisor of Baoyu; In order to gain her own interests, she can cry at all costs to express her loyalty to Mrs. Wang; In order to get Baoyu's love, she can even have sex with Baoyu for the first time. Qingwen's dismissal has something to do with her. Her relationship with Baoyu is not clean. Compared with Qingwen, one is in the sky and the other is underground.
Qingwen is "sharp-edged, provocative and bold, dare to be angry and dare not speak, dare to laugh and dare to scold." Although she and xiren are slaves, they will never do what xiren did. Between her and Baoyu, she completely broke through the love mode of a talented person and a beautiful woman. The love between two people is based on emotional shock and the same rebellious thoughts and development. It is by no means an empty valley, a confessional body, nor a take part in accidental amusement. Daiyu never advised Baoyu to study and become famous, and Qingwen was just like Daiyu-no, she even advised Baoyu to pretend to be ill to avoid Jia Zheng's torture. The ideological basis of * * * made Qingwen and Baoyu become bosom friends and forged a friendship between life and death. Qingwen conveys the particularity of Jiaqing relationship and the sublimity of love in another harmonious and reasonable way, purely touching behavior language and aboveboard form, and all this is comparable to just attacking people's utilitarian ideas? It is not difficult to understand that xiren has always been worried about the relationship between Baoyu and Qingwen.
2. Affectionate childe empty nostalgia
Love is by no means a combination of flesh, nor an exchange of materials, nor a gift from one party to the other. She is two-sided, and only through spiritual communication can she achieve "but I feel the harmonious heartbeat of the sacred unicorn"; Only the voice of emotion can collide with the flame of love. So it is between Baoyu and Qingwen. As we said before, the relationship between them is developing step by step. So how did they develop?
As long as two people love us to the end, why covet my Heron?
Qingwen is a wonderful flower among the daughters of Grand View Garden. She lived beside Baoyu, the son of Hongyi, and was appreciated and became a bosom friend because of her personality charm of "pure heart" and "higher heart than the sky". For example, in the eighth time, Qingwen appeared. "Qingwen picked it up first and said with a smile,' Okay, okay, I'm going to study those ink marks. I only wrote three words, left my pen and coaxed us to wait all day. Come on, finish writing these ink marks with me! ""In just a few words, Qingwen's image is vivid. When Baoyu came home drunk, Qingwen smiled, with a commanding tone in his finals and a reproachful tone in his laughter. She dares to speak frankly to her master, which shows that she and Baoyu are congenial. With the passage of time and the development of events, the sincere and intimate relationship between the two will inevitably mature. Even if Qingwen accidentally dropped the fan on the ground and the fan bone was broken, and the two were scolded by Baoyu, all the unhappiness would be respected and understood by each other, and all the unhappiness and shadows would disappear. Isn't it a good proof that it happened after tearing a fan and laughing? It wasn't long before they got back together.
Qingwen sometimes inadvertently reveals the deep feelings between her and Baoyu, because she is not as smart as others. Sixty-third time, the morning after the Hongyi banquet, Pinger returned to the east, and xiren told her that she had brewed an altar of wine last night.
Pinger smiled and said, "Good! I asked Bai for wine, but they didn't invite me. They also told me to listen and be angry with me. " Qingwen said, "He is still at the table today. He will certainly invite you. Just wait. " Pinger smiled and said, "Who is he? Who is he? " Qingwen smiled and said, "You have sharp ears. You really listen. "
This is Qingwen's slip of the tongue. She usually calls Baoyu "master" or "master" and calls him Baoyu directly, but she can't use the word "he" when talking to outsiders. Pinger can call Jia Lian him, because Pinger is Jia Lian's maid, and Qingwen and xiren can use him when they talk in Hongyi Hospital, because this is a private matter in the hospital and can't be told to the outside world. Pinger found this. No wonder Qingwen said it was Pinger's ear tip. Before she died, she would regret not doing it completely.
Baoyu will leave his favorite tofu buns to Qingwen, which is Baoyu's love and care for Qingwen; Mr. Bao's Russian-made sparrow Golden Hair burned a hole, and when she stamped her feet in a hurry, Qingwen would ignore her serious illness, be top-heavy and out of breath, bravely make moves and try to mend it herself. Baoyu dissuaded her, and she said without hesitation, "You don't have to be a scorpion, I know it." I pulled my hair, put on my clothes, and gritted my teeth bitterly. If I can't make up for it, I'll fall on the pillow and rest. What does she know? It's for the selfless dedication of my bosom friend, and it's also for being considerate of the people I love. I would rather suffer by myself than be wronged and hurt by the people I love. You see, when Baoyu asked about the temperature, she was still in a hurry to ask, "Little ancestor! Just stay up late and scratch your eyes tomorrow. What's the matter! " (Back to 53) They not only care about their illness, but also show love in tenderness and thoughtfulness, and their feelings further develop. There is no such thing in the world!
A little earlier, 1 point 5 1 minute, I wrote the part where Qingwen Sheyue kept vigil when xiren was away, which was even more intimate and natural, "as clear as water and as beautiful as poetry". Due to the return of xiren, the normal order in the courtyard was disrupted, and it was more casual and relaxed than usual, a little more gentle and calm. Baoyu is willing to be a maid. In order to keep Qingwen warm, he went out and put a mirror. The joke between Musk and Moon and Baoyu's concern highlight the clarity of feelings between Baoyu and Qingwen when Xiren is away. It is about Qingwen's innocence, Baoyu's connivance and love for her, and the cold night is "full of pure and beautiful interests between children."
2. Talking about black tea is more infatuated and resentful.
However, Baoqing and Baoqing's silent love is not only the close-up above, but also Baoyu's considerate care when Qingwen is sick. What's more, Baoyu regarded Qingwen as a confidant and took Aron away, asking Qingwen to give an old handkerchief to his other confidant Daiyu. All this is just a small detail in the development of the relationship between Baoyu and Qingwen, and the real peak of their feelings was revealed in this period after Qingwen was kicked out.
Qingwen was called a "fox" by Mrs. Wang because she was "romantic and clever" and ordered to be pulled down from the sick pit and thrown out of the house. Baoyu is upset, restless, sad and angry, and can't eat well. When he went to visit her privately, Qingwen was already weak and tired, and she was dying. Baoyu stretched out his hand and gently pulled her, with tears in his eyes, and whispered twice. When she saw Baoyu, she said half a sentence: "I can only say goodbye to you!" " "That tone, sadness contains joy, disappointment contains infinite love. For a person who is about to leave, what is more gratifying than meeting the dearest person?" When a bird is dying, its song is also sad; When people are dying, their words are very good. "For a pair of kind people, in the face of stubborn evil forces, the only thing they can do is to stay together as long as possible and comfort each other's injured hearts!
3. It is difficult to help Yushan topple by crushing peach blossoms all over the ground.
Seventy-seven times Baoyu visited the doctor privately, washed dishes and poured tea for Qingwen, and asked tearfully, "What did you say? Before someone tells me. " Qingwen sobbed, "There's nothing to say! But every moment is a moment and every day is a day. I know. I'll be back in three to five days anyway. Just one thing, I don't want to die: although I was born better than others, I didn't seduce you secretly, and I insisted that I was a fox! I am so dissatisfied. Today, I assumed a false reputation, and I am dying. I am not saying a word of regret. If I knew this, I would have another reason that day. Unexpectedly, infatuation and stupidity ... "A sentence is worth ten thousand sentences, which tells all the grievances and gentleness in my heart. As he spoke, he unscrewed two fingernails of his left hand, took off his close-fitting HongLing coat and handed it to Baoyu, saying, "Take this, and it will be like seeing me in the future. Take off your coat and I'll put it on. In the future, I will lie alone in the coffin, just like in Yee Hong Court. " Until Mengtou said goodbye to Baoyu, this passage wrote the deep affection and reluctance of a pair of confidantes who lived and died together.
Qingwen's innocent experience deeply hurt Baoyu's heart. He ventured to visit Qingwen, which not only showed his deep love for Qingwen, but also accepted a girl's innocent heart and ardent love. This feeling of farewell obviously means that they have sublimated from heterosexual friends to life and death parting in love, which makes people physically and mentally hurt.
Qingwen is Baoyu's confidant, and even Aroma knows that "Baoyu has other plans in mind, and Qingwen is the first priority." Later, Baoyu told Qingwen to die in the middle of the night, saying that it was too late to see Baoyu before Qingwen, which was the embodiment of their empathy. After Qingwen died, Baoyu couldn't help himself. He poured out his full resentment and sadness with the most beautiful words and sincere feelings in The Daughter of Lotus. The eulogy wrote a poem full of grief and passion, which showed his praise and yearning for Qingwen. "If it is quality, it is not precious; If it is sex, it is ice and snow, and it is clean; If it is a god, it is the star and the sun, and it is essence; If the appearance is concerned, it is the flower and the moon, not the color. " Moreover, he compared Qingwen to Jia Yi, who had a high life, and to Wang Zhaojun, who had a poor life. This evaluation is very high, which shows how deep their feelings are! Baoyu also sincerely hopes that Qingwen's appointment as "Lotus God" is true, which reflects Baoyu's good wishes for Qingwen. Baoyu and Qingwen's love developed to the extreme. But under the persecution of evil forces, things have changed, and yin and yang are separated.
I'm not talking about fighting for spring, but a group of people are jealous.
The love between Qingwen and Baoyu is the relationship between slave and master. Although Baoyu's democratic tendency and fraternity concept provided him with a certain growth soil; Although Qingwen's struggle also achieved equal status for their relationship, in the social environment of feudal society; In China's ancient marriage system, there was only "parents' orders and matchmakers' words", even the love of normal people was far from being a slave. But we say that the love between Qingwen and Baoyu, as the "shadow of Daiyu", is pure, pure, noble and sincere. Qingwen's treatment of Baoyu is not like attacking others, but at the expense of body, with the distortion of personality as the foreshadowing of servility, more care in action, tacit understanding in words and spiritual communication. Baoyu and xiren are masters and servants, with ups and downs, high and low. Their flattery and forbearance are inevitable, but her behavior has won the approval of the upper rulers. In the social environment at that time, what Xiren did was different from a typical wife and mother in terms of politeness. What's the difference between going to extremes and being a loyal slave? Qingwen is not like this. Because of her "heart is higher than the sky" character and her hard-working and spotless character, at least emotionally, she and Baoyu have reached a basically equal relationship. Although she was snubbed by Attacker, persecuted by Wang Shanbao's wife and Mrs. Wang because of her "romantic dexterity", she finally became a ghost in slander, but she won Baoyu's heart at least more deeply than Attacker and became Baoyu's confidant and lover of life and death.
Conclusion. It's really clean when it's white
The love tragedy between Baoyu and Qingwen is a historical tragedy and an inevitable tragedy of that era. Qingwen's death became "a signal to Lin Daiyu that a feudal force will perish", which doomed the tragic color of Baoyu's love. Finally, "for the official, the family business is dying; Money, gold and silver are gone. If you are kind, you will survive; Ruthless, retribution is clear. If you owe your life, it has already been paid. Those who owe tears have exhausted their tears. ..... He who sees through will enter an empty net; Obsessive-minded, lost his life. " Qingwen died, Daiyu died, and the four families declined. The wall fell, everyone pushed, the tree fell, and the monkey dispersed. "It's like eating all the birds and throwing them into the forest, and the land is so clean!" (The fifth time "The End, Birds Cast into the Forest")
