Lin Daiyu's love is doomed to be a tragic ending. Reading A Dream of Red Mansions often arouses people's speculation. Most readers like and sympathize with Lin Daiyu; Some people hope that Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu will succeed in their love and enjoy happiness. After the publication of A Dream of Red Mansions, from the late Qianlong period to the Jiaqing period, there were several sequels, all of which made Daiyu and Baoyu finally get married, forcing a happy ending. It is also said that during the first eighty chapters of Cao Xueqin's Dream of Red Mansions, the old lady Jia has always loved Daiyu. Her old man also said that Baoyu and Daiyu's statement that "enemies don't get together" (the 29th time) was thought-provoking, which made Baoyu and Daiyu "lower their heads to chew the taste and couldn't help crying". The 57th time, Zijuan advised Daiyu that "it is important for the old lady to understand this difficult season, otherwise it will be too late", and asked Daiyu to ask the old lady to "fix up" her marriage with Baoyu. Then forty times, I suspected that Gao E continued to write, saying that Baoyu and Baochai got married with the consent of the old lady, which was a great fallacy. For example, Yu Rui's "Jujube Window Idle Pen" in the Qing Dynasty said: "Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang are people who love their children very much. They are busy writing for Mrs. Jia and are busy with the marriage of Baoyu and Baochai, so they forget that Daiyu died of serious illness and never asked; And said,' If she has other desires in her heart, what kind of person will she become? I hurt her in vain "and so on. This is the author Qin Xue endured. According to these people, it seems that in Cao Xueqin's original work, if Jia did not die early, Daiyu still had hope to marry Baoyu. Jamba does not agree with this view. Qiangba believes that Cao Xueqin is bent on "making the boudoir famous", writing about "these women whom he has seen and heard for half his life" and realistically creating A Dream of Red Mansions. According to his social reality at that time, Lin Daiyu's life prototype did not and could not achieve ideal love and marriage, and the love between Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu in A Dream of Red Mansions could only be a tragic ending. Qiangba thinks that Lin Daiyu's love tragedy has three manifestations in A Dream of Red Mansions. The first is a natural tragedy. The first time in A Dream of Red Mansions, a monk Zhen met told us that there was a crimson pearl fairy grass next to the Sansheng stone on the Xiling River, which was cultivated into a female body by being watered by the waiter with nectar every day. She "hasn't reported the virtue of irrigation yet, so she has been in love for more than five years", so she said to Jing Xian, "He will be a human being in the next life, and I will be a human being in the next life, but all my tears in this life can repay him, and I can repay him"; So the police fairy put her in the "Twelve Golden Chains" in the "Unlucky Teacher". This is the predestination of Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu. This is of course the myth and beautiful nonsense created by Cao Xueqin. However, we can also know that in Cao Xueqin's overall conception of the creation of A Dream of Red Mansions, the love between Baoyu and Daiyu ended in loving flowers, irrigating nectar and repaying kindness, which was scheduled as a tragic ending from the beginning. This is what Jamba called a natural tragedy. The second is Lin Daiyu's own tragedy. She has been "weak" and "insufficient" since she was a child and has been maintained by drugs. After arriving in Jiafu, she missed her parents and hometown, was depressed and often shed tears. Youth awakens, falls in love with Baoyu, "tests" and tests each other; She added all kinds of doubts, jealousy, anger and worry, and shed more tears. The thirty-second time, I heard Baoyu talking behind his back, which proved that Baoyu was a "bosom friend", happy and sad. Sadly, her parents died young and no one advocated marriage for her; In addition, "in recent days, every time I feel trance, my condition has gradually changed, and doctors are even more weak in qi and blood, which may lead to fatigue and fear." Although I have become a bosom friend, I am afraid that I will not live the day when the love results, "I am unlucky"; Therefore, I was so sad that I could not help crying. The thirty-fourth time, Baoyu gave her an old handkerchief as a token of "love". "It boiled in five minutes for a while, and Daiyu couldn't help being entangled." She was moved and excited, and immediately wrote three poems on the old handkerchief. At this time, she "felt hot all over and her face was hot." She went to the mirror and took a picture of brocade. I saw that her cheeks were flushed and she was overwhelmed by peach blossoms, but she didn't know that she was sick. " From the causes of Lin Daiyu's illness-delicate body, sentimentality and so on. Symptoms of her illness-such as peach blossom, coughing and vomiting blood every day. On the whole, Lin Daiyu should have tuberculosis. Before the discovery and application of modern antibiotics such as penicillin, this disease was called "tuberculosis" in China, which was considered as an "incurable disease" and could only be maintained and rested by drugs; Just as Lin Daiyu relayed the monk's treatment for the third time, he should be "safe in this life." However, Lin Daiyu can only "foster" in the home of "relatives and friends with other surnames", and she is sentimental and often cries. The disease is naturally incurable, but it is getting worse every day. The forty-ninth time, Lin Daiyu said to Baoyu, "I feel sad only recently, and my tears seem to be less than in the old year." My heart hurts, but there are not many tears. "It can be seen that her condition is getting worse and worse and she is weak. Back to the sixty-third "Shouyi Red Party Group Banquet", the wine sequence was "Choose the flower name", and Lin Daiyu chose "A hibiscus with the word" wind dew sorrow "on it". There is an ancient poem over there that says, "Don't blame Dongfeng for crying"; Lin Daiyu's metaphor is very apt. "Dongfeng" refers to the elders of people who love each other. For example, Lu You lamented the "Dongfeng evil" in the word "Hairpin Phoenix" that his love with Tang Wan failed. Don't blame the east wind "means you can't blame the man, that is, Baoyu's elders;" And "self-reliance" means that Daiyu once sighed, "What is my misfortune? "Seeing this famous flower brand", Daiyu also secretly smiled "; This description shows that Daiyu has no choice but to accept her fate. "After all, where is the fragrant hill? The beautiful bones are not collected, and the pure land covers the wind "(Dai Yu's" Mourning Words "); In addition to grief and indignation, Lin Daiyu can only lament to death. Third, this is a tragedy caused by feudal society and system. Jia Baoyu is the eldest son of a feudal aristocratic family. Jia's mother Jia and his wife both hope to inherit the family business and honor their ancestors. Jia Zheng took Baoyu to visit the king of Beijing; Jia Yucun, a big bureaucrat, wants Baoyu to accompany him every time he comes. This is "often meet these officials and butchers, talk about some knowledge of official career economy, or associate with the world in the future and have a friend in the future" (back to the 32 nd). For Baoyu to go to school, Jia Zheng demanded that "the ancient prose of the Book of Songs should not be spoken in vain, and the most important thing is to recite the four books first" (the ninth time); The 23rd time, in the words of "Empress" (Yuan Chun), I asked Baoyu to "read and write" and "study hard". The so-called "going to school" here means "familiarizing yourself with the four books", that is, preparing for the imperial examination and "studying to be an official"; Because the eight-part essay in the imperial examination has four titles. The word "writing" here refers to practicing the calligraphy style of "pavilion style". Candidates must write well on the "Palace Examination" paper in order to win the top prize! It can be seen from these aspects that Jia Zheng treats Baoyu with harsh words and bright eyes on weekdays, and often scolds Baoyu as a "bad obstacle". In fact, he has high expectations for him. Mrs Wang is even worse; Jia Zhu, the eldest son, died, leaving only Baoyu as his own son. He intends to rely on him for the rest of his life. Of course, she hopes that he can achieve something and "make a positive result." According to the feudal system, children's marriage depends on "parents' orders"; If they choose a spouse for Baoyu, according to the standards of feudal nobles, it depends on family appearance, good health and good temper. On the family background, it is better to pay attention to the right family. If it is a rich family, if the "Shi, Wang and Xue" outside the Jia family have suitable wives. From the appearance, good looks and good conduct must conform to the words and deeds of feudal ladies. If you want to be healthy and have offspring, you need insurance. Who would choose a "sick shell" as a wife? Good temper and personality, of course, feudal ethics pay attention to "the husband sings with the woman", and the wife should be gentle and obedient. Why did you choose a "tigress" to bully your son? If you want to choose a wife for Baoyu between Baochai and Daiyu, Qiangba dares to say that Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang will choose Xue Baochai 120%. How's Jia Mu? She really loves Lin Daiyu; But as Xifeng said, Lin Daiyu "is not like the grandchild of her ancestors, but actually the granddaughter of the first family"; This shows that in the feudal concept of Jia Mu and others, the granddaughter is inherently closer than the granddaughter. Feudal society preferred boys to girls. For Jia Jia, the "ancestor" of Jia family, Jia Baoyu, the grandson of the first family, is closer than any child! Jia Ailin Daiyu must want to find a good marriage for her because her daughter died young. But I am not sure whether I will decide to marry her to Jia Baoyu. Jia Mu, the "ancestor" of Jiafu, a feudal aristocratic family, has strong feudal ethics and ethics. When Lin Daiyu first entered Jia Fu, the old lady asked her "what books to read". Daiyu replied that she must be a little unhappy after reading four books. According to feudal ethics, "a woman without talent is virtue", and it is not a big problem not to know words; If you want to study, you only need to read "Women's Commandments" and "Four Books for Women". Why do you want to study four books like men? Grandmother Jia was dissatisfied with the way her son-in-law educated her granddaughter after her daughter died, so she borrowed Daiyu to ask her sisters what books to read and issued a declaration: "What books to read? It's just that you know two words. Don't be blind! Based on this speculation, it can be seen that grandma must not agree with Lin Daiyu's literary talent in poetry and lyrics; I would be even more angry if I knew that Lin Daiyu had read the "evil book" The West Chamber, and her thoughts and feelings had been greatly affected. It is particularly noteworthy that at the fifty-fourth session, Jia criticized the book "Talented Persons and Beautiful Women" and said in public: "These books are all a condom. The rest are just some beautiful women and talented people, and they are the most boring. They say that their daughter is very bad and is called a beauty ... Only when she meets a handsome guy, whether she is a friend or a relative, does she think of a lifelong event, and her parents forget it, and so does the book ceremony. Even if you are full of articles, you are not a beauty. " For Jamba, Jia Mu's long speech is a bit like excuses, innuendos and warnings. The Jia family is not allowed to talk about the book Beauty and Talented Persons, and the girls are not allowed to know it. However, Jia Jia admits that "I am old in recent years, and I am tired of saying a few words occasionally." She knows these books. Back to the 40th time, Grandmother Jia gave a banquet in the Grand View Garden, and "Jin Yuanyang made repeated requests". Daiyu said that the lyrics of Peony Pavilion were "what a beautiful day" and The Story of the West Chamber was "a matchless newspaper with a screen window". Xue Baochai heard clearly, and later seized this handle to teach Daiyu a lesson; Jia should have noticed at that time! The 29th time, after Taoist Zhang proposed Baoyu to the Lady Dowager, Lin Daiyu had an affair with Baoyu, and the "Golden Jade Marriage Theory" caused Baoyu to smash the jade, causing an uproar. When Grandmother Jia heard the news, she "pulled Baoyu out" and was so anxious that she "complained about others and wept bitterly". Didn't Jia Jia guess the reason for their quarrel at all? Therefore, "seeing a handsome man, whether a friend or a friend, reminds him of lifelong events" and "even if he is full of articles, he is not a beauty". The words of forcing Palestine and Israel to be Jia Mu contained warnings and admonitions to Lin Daiyu who was present at that time. "Drums don't need hammers"; Grandmother Jia loves Lin Daiyu and knows that Daiyu is clever and dexterous. She doesn't need to speak frankly, she can understand by beating around the bush. It would be nice to use this excuse to "help" and remind Daiyu to leave her with a "face". Here, I want to talk about the sentence "It's not that enemies don't get together" quoted by Jia Mu. Baoyu and Daiyu were furious, and Baoyu smashed jade, which was the twenty-ninth time. Mrs. Jia was too anxious to complain:' I was an old enemy in that world, and I never met these two small enemies who didn't save trouble. As the saying goes, "it's not that enemies don't get together." When I close my eyes and catch my breath, I'm out of sight and out of mind, that's all. I don't want to swallow this tone. "I complained about crying myself." In ancient China, there was a proverb that couples and/or lovers "told the judge", but Jia Mu didn't necessarily mean "enemy" here. Because in ancient China, there was also a saying that "collecting debts and paying back money" traveled all over the world, saying that you owed debts to others in your previous life, the creditor was reborn as your son in this life, deliberately became seriously ill or became a "black sheep", and spent your money to collect debts from your father who was in debt in your previous life; This is also called "enemies meet". The old lady here said "I am an old enemy" and "two small enemies who don't save trouble", which should be the meaning used to associate herself with Baoyu and Daiyu. However, Baoyu and Daiyu "chewed the flavor" after hearing this, but they took it as the meaning of "telling the judge". On the other hand, they are only cousins, and they are often angry, which makes the whole family uneasy, and grandma is also anxious to complain and cry; If such two parties are combined in the future, the most worrying thing is the "bitter spouse." How can they get married? Besides, Jia said that she would "go to heaven with these two enemies" when she died, and she didn't care; The implication is that if she is alive, she can't let them "make trouble" like this again. Combined with what Jia said to Zhang Daoshi earlier in this reply, finding an object for Baoyu is "just a rare good appearance and good character" and pays attention to appearance and character; Lin Daiyu was born with a "beautiful appearance". It is impossible to say that she is good-looking, but what about her "character"? Lin Daiyu is bitter and jealous, and has many "little children". She often quarrels with Baoyu. Will grandma trust to betroth her to her favorite grandson Jia Baoyu? Even if she had some ideas in the past, I think the old lady will make a new decision after Lin Daiyu and Baoyu get angry several times and make the whole family uneasy. There are two more points to mention. First, on the 25th occasion, Xifeng joked with Daiyu, saying that "since you have eaten our tea", you should "be our daughter-in-law" and ask her to marry Baoyu. Second, the fifty-seventh time, "Aunt Xue loves language comfort." Aunt Xue comforted Daiyu and said that she would marry Jia Baoyu for her. What's the use of these two places in a dream of red mansions? In addition to showing the interpersonal relationship of Jia family, we can see that if the characters of Xifeng and Aunt Xue are attributed to Baodai's love, it is the use of "cunning" and "color separation" by the great writer Cao Xueqin, that is, "above the clouds, below the clouds" and "powder on the back". "Wen seems to look at the mountains and don't like peace", and Cao Xueqin certainly knows this; It was because the love between Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu was fruitless that she deliberately wrote this letter, which caused the ups and downs of the literary world. Looking at Cao Xueqin's Dream of Red Mansions, it is a great tragedy that the feudal family society in ancient China declined. The love tragedy between Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu is only one of the main duets, but it is also an irreversible life tragedy. Under the cultivation and watering of the great writer Cao Xueqin, the flower of love between Baoyu and Daiyu germinated, bloomed and withered in A Dream of Red Mansions, attracting and touching hundreds of millions of readers for hundreds of years. Love tragedy like Lin Daiyu, if there are girls who are physically like Lin Daiyu, forcing Israel and Palestine will still exist, even if the form and process change slightly. Therefore, the love between Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu in A Dream of Red Mansions has an eternal melancholy beauty.
