One thing about the tune is quite thought-provoking, that is, in the novel, Qin Keqing died earlier, followed by events such as mothering in the Spring Festival and celebrating the Lantern Festival. Why do you say she is "the root of the prodigal family"? Does the author really think that the downfall of Jia family in the future is "always due to emotion" as this song comes down to? The decline of the four major families is determined by the objective laws of social politics, and the decadent life and moral corruption of the feudal ruling class are also determined by its class nature. Even if Cao Xueqin is far from such an understanding, how can he blame all the major changes that happened later on a woman who was killed by the poisonous gas of Jia's evil feudal family and attribute all the reasons to "love"?
It turns out that this is the same as "everything is for romantic feelings" in the introduction of Twelve Songs, except that the author consciously marks all the characters and events in the novel as deceptive. To a great extent, in order to give people the illusion of "talking about love", the author made up a fantasy and a fairy tale. But if this "absurd talk" does not communicate with reality, it will not cover up the political truth. Therefore, in reality, the author chose the one who died because of the exposure of an affair as the symbol of this kind of emotion, which made her "fantasy" become the "emotional body" in Baoyu's dream, and also made the immortal Ji, also known as "Ke Qing", confuse with the images of Chai and Dai, and finally fell into the maze with Baoyu, suggesting that this was the shadow of the subsequent plot development to justify itself. Of course, the author's thoughts are full of contradictions, and he also wants to show people with illusions, so he wrote a couplet at the entrance to the dreamland of Taixu, repeatedly warning readers to distinguish between "truth", "falsehood", "existence" and "nothingness". Imagine that Feng Yuan's death clearly said that the murderer was Xue Pan, but he also said that "this is the dream love" and "previous life injustice". Zhang Jingue and the son of the garrison were forced to commit suicide. It is clearly written that the first crime is Wang Xifeng, but they all say that they are "sentimental" and create the illusion of "loving evil". Even Li Wan, whose heart is dying, Chun, who broke into an empty net, and Shi Xiangyun, who never cared about their children's affair, were all engraved on the "Love Day in the Sea" with the couplets of "Poor Love is Hard to Pay Back".
As we already know, the direct fuse of Jia's later misfortune was Guo Rongfu, and Baoyu and Xifeng, who had lived in the prison temple for a long time, were all from Guo Rongfu. Baoyu's guilt is nothing more than the breath handed down when he "accepted all kinds of accusations." Baoyu, of course, has the habit of philandering with aristocratic childe, but he is never as shameless as Jia Zhen and his son, making this a crime involving the whole Jia family, of course, because hostile forces try their best to seize the handle and punish each other in political struggle. Now it is said that this is the evil caused by romantic love, and it also comes down to its origin-the temptation of Qin. But even for this reason, we have to point out that all this is even more outrageous. For example, if Jia Jing indulged his offspring in accordance with feudal etiquette, it would be more serious than Jia Zheng's attempt to teach his son to submit with strict training, and he should be regarded as a "first offense". Wang Xifeng's power operation, wealth collection and murder also began with her assistant director Ning. Jia Zhen cried to Mrs. Wang, begging Xi-feng to arrange the funeral and conniving at her "doing whatever she wants", which made her get carried away. After Tiejing Temple took a bribe and killed her, "Xifeng was courageous. If this happens again in the future, she will be willful." This extravagant funeral was held because of the special relationship between Jia Zhen and Jia Rong and the deceased. Xi-feng wants to earn Second Sister You and make trouble with Ningfu, starting with Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, who has a secret crush on Xi-feng and is Qin's husband and closest to Xi-feng! However, in spite of this, "amorous feelings", "moon appearance" and even Qin Keqing himself are just a means for the author to reveal the various relationships of Jia family, and the cause and effect of Jia family's decline will be explained in specific circumstances, just as the author is unambiguous in describing the plot of Feng Yuan and Zhang Jinge's death. The meaning of Qin Keqing's "verdict" and the words in the song is more profound than the superficial impression we get after reading casually. Even the title of the song "Many Things Are Grinding", we all realize that it probably refers not only to Qin, but also to the downfall of the whole Jia family.
