"Nong buried people laugh today. Who did he know when he was buried? " This sad sentence that Daiyu hummed was sung by lonely people through the ages. This poem, written by Cao Xueqin, seems to imply the tragic ending of the novel and the unique desolation and helplessness of feudal society contained in it.
I remember reading & gt I was depressed and didn't like reading when I was a child. The complexity and noise of the Grand View Garden in my impression seems to be my childhood. Baoyu's frivolity, Daiyu's melancholy, Baochai's generosity, Granny Liu's kindness and Xifeng's meanness, all in all, this book only records the rise and fall of a family in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, which was my understanding at that time.
After reading it carefully, with the enrichment of views, this book in my mind not only means a purely tacky story, but also begins to have a deeper meaning. The unknown sadness and suffering revealed behind that story also made me appreciate the profound thoughts and rebellious thoughts of Cao Xueqin, a talented writer.
Baoyu once said, "Women are made of water and men are made of mud. The former is pure before marriage and natural after marriage. " Why does Baoyu feel this way? Doesn't this imply that Cao Xueqin was extremely disgusted and indignant at the phenomenon of patriarchal society at that time? Why is Daiyu unhappy and happy to leave but unhappy to get together? Because the author expresses his sad and melancholy mood through this beautiful beauty and the unfriendliness of the literati in feudal society, the vitriol of other characters, such as Feng, is also a true portrayal of the wretched villain of that era. There are also good-hearted dissidents, such as attacking people mentioned above, and there are also helpful and kind-hearted. This is the moment when the author is kind and peaceful. The color of tragedy still hangs over this beautiful and ironic story, and the loss of family and the separation of Rong Ning's two governments also show the author's extreme disappointment in society and the freedom and sadness of seeing through the world of mortals, which makes readers feel uneasy.
Although the social indifference revealed between the lines of this book can really make people sigh like the author, it also has a good and kind side. For example, the family in the Grand View Garden drinks and reads poems together, enjoying the excitement and happiness of Spring Festival couplets together, just like Baoyu's cleverness and eloquence when facing Daiyu, and feeling the warmth of the family together also makes readers feel a little duckweed when reading. This is also a true portrayal of folk customs, good upbringing and the rich culture of the Chinese nation. However, the more so, the more miserable the outcome, the more reluctant it is. Otherwise, the author's sharp language and spearhead will not point directly at the deepest part of people's hearts, so sad.
After reading & gt, I escaped from the social shadow of suppressing feudalism and breathed a sigh of relief. Looking around, my living environment can at least have room for me to breathe. What about people then? I can't help myself, my mind is locked up. What is their mood? Therefore, every time I finish reading it> the tension and depression before reading seem to disappear, and my inner understanding of suffering and hardship is deeper and my pursuit of dreams is more persistent. We should also be happy about it. We live in a democratic era, and there are hardships and difficulties in life, but they are inevitable in the course of life and have nothing to do with the environment and ideas. However, compared with people in feudal society, we at least
Leaning on the bookshelf & gt, quietly emitting a faint fragrance, is happy, is worried, is gathering, is dispersed. It breeds the connotation of fanaticism; It inherited profound thoughts; It is full of intoxicating sadness. ...
A Dream of Red Mansions is a tragedy with a smile. A Dream of Red Mansions not only describes the life of three generations of a feudal aristocratic family from glory to decline, but also boldly accuses the feudal aristocratic class of its shamelessness and depravity, pointing out their hypocrisy, fraud, greed, decay and sin. It not only points out the inevitable collapse and death of this family, but also implies the inevitable collapse and death of the class and society to which this family belongs. The heroes created and loved by Cao Xueqin's brushwork are two ministers and traitors who dare to judge the dying feudal aristocracy; Those who sympathize and mourn are the victims under the feudal system; What is criticized and denied is the hypocritical morality and unreasonable social system in feudal society. On the one hand, it was the former wood and stone alliance, on the other hand, it was a golden wedding. On the one hand, it is the aura of fame and fortune that feudal society must pursue, on the other hand, it is a fascinating free body. A Dream of Red Mansions written by Cao Xueqin shows us this silent contest. The tragic love story of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu condensed all the smoke in this contest. "One is Xianpa in Yuen Long, and the other is flawless jade." The pursuit of quality is clean and neat. "In the face of all kinds of persecution and indifference under feudal ethics, even at the cost of life, the pursuit of quality and purity has never given up. While lamenting the love tragedy between Jia and Lin, we can see an important factor that caused the tragedy: Lin Daiyu's lofty personality was incompatible with the secular world at that time and could not be "integrated" with society. Her inferiority complex is the embodiment of her self-esteem and the beginning of her tragedy.
In A Dream of Red Mansions, she buries flowers, which is the focus of her personality. Her inferiority, self-esteem and self-pity are fully revealed in her "mourning poems": "Flowers wither, flowers fly all over the sky, and the fragrance dies. Who has pity for the fragrance?" "Three hundred and sixty days a year, wind knives and frost swords are pressed against each other, bright and bright, and it is hard to find a wandering. It's easier to see flowers than to find them. I'm worried about burying the flower man in front of the steps. I only steal flowers and shed tears, but I can see the blood stains on the branches. " "May Nong have wings this day and fly to the end of the day with flowers. The day is over! Where is Xiangshan? Without a trick, I hid my love with a pure land. It's better to be clean than trapped in a ditch. I am going to die and be buried, but I don't know when Nong will die. The man who buried the flowers is laughing today, but who did he know when he buried them? Let's see the residual flowers of spring gradually falling, which is the time when beauty dies of old age. If you don't mourn for me, I don't know that flowers will fall and people will die. "
A secular person can't understand her thoughts. "I am dead and buried, but when will I die?" The man who buried the flowers is laughing today. Who did he know when he buried them? "In the face of falling flowers, she thought of the scene after her death, and she couldn't let go and shed tears. In front of feudal ethics, her inferiority aroused her self-esteem. When Baoyu was beaten, it was difficult for a clever woman to send Dan medicine to Xue Baochai, who had no rice to cook, and she also advised Baoyu to change his ways with admonition. As a supporter of Baoyu, a rebel of feudal ethics, Lin Daiyu, who is kind and aloof, just cried blindly, tears like peaches. Her crying is not weak. She sincerely supported Baoyu with her unique emotional experience of crying, and silently opposed feudal ethics. Therefore, recently, only their hearts are connected and favorite.
Lin Daiyu
The only daughter of Lin Ruhai and Jia Min. Because her parents died, her grandmother pitied her loneliness and took her to Guo Rong's home to raise her. Although she is an orphan, she is arrogant, naive and straightforward by nature, and she is a feudal rebel with Baoyu. She never advised Baoyu to take the road of feudalism as an official. She despises fame and fortune. When Jia Baoyu gave her a precious rosary from a saint given by King Jing of Beijing, she said, "I don't want this thing from a smelly man!" " She and Baoyu are like-minded, and they really love each other, but this love was brutally strangled by Jia Mu and others, and Lin Daiyu died in tears.
Xue Baochai
One of the twelve women in Jinling, the daughter of Aunt Xue, is worth millions. She is beautiful in appearance, smooth in bones and muscles, and refined in manners. She was keen on "career economy" and advised Baoyu to meet an official and talk about career economy. Baoyu secretly denounced him as an "asshole". She abides by feudal women's virtue, is quite shrewd, can win the hearts of the people and is praised by the Jia family. She hung a golden lock, which read "Never leave, never leave". Aunt Xue has long said, "Choose jade to match this golden lock." Jia Baoyu was forced to marry Xue Baochai under the single hand of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang. Because the two sides had no common ideals and interests, Jia Baoyu could not forget his confidant Lin Daiyu and became a monk soon after marriage. Xue Baochai had to live alone in an empty boudoir and hold a grudge for life.
Wang Xifeng
One of the twelve women in Jinling, the wife of Jia Lian and the niece of Mrs. Wang. He has a pair of red phoenix triangle eyes, two curved willow eyebrows, slim figure and coquettish physique. She was smart and capable, won the trust of the Jia family and Mrs. Wang, and became the actual housekeeper of the Jia family. She sat on the throne of the housekeeper of hundreds of Jia family. Her eloquence and power are her weapons to flatter her superiors and confuse her subordinates, with the aim of seizing power and stealing money. She tried her best to change her mind, and she was cruel and mean, even though Gary was such a millionaire. Children deserve to die, but the cruelty of revenge can also be seen in "Poisoning Acacia Bureau". In order to bribe 3,200 taels of silver, the "Tiexi Temple" forced the daughter of the Zhang family and the son of a garrison to commit suicide. Second Sister You and the fetus in her belly were also killed by Wang Xifeng in the most cunning and vicious way. She declared publicly: "I never believe in what the underworld deserves." Why, I said it! " She is extremely greedy. Besides asking for bribes, she also lends money by delaying the monthly payment of public expenditure. In this case alone, hundreds or even thousands of silver are used for personal interests. When the property was looted, 50,000 to 70,000 gold and a box of loan vouchers were taken from her room. What Wang Xifeng did undoubtedly accelerated the decline of Jia's family, and finally ended up as "the organ counted the life of Qing Qing".
Liwan

Jia Zhu died of illness before he was 20. Li Wan has always been a widow. Although she is brilliant, she is like a dying ember. She only cares about raising her parents, accompanying her sister-in-law and studying. She is a typical virtuous woman, a virtuous woman who abides by feudal ethics.

Although they are sisters, they are like mother and son. Later, because of her filial piety, she was elected as a female official in the palace. Soon, the date was named as the official book, and the virtuous princess was added. The Jia family specially built a villa for mothering, and welcomed her to mothering. The luxury of this villa is so high that even Yuan Chun thinks it is too luxurious and expensive! Yuan Fei was confined in the palace, although she brought Jia Fu "full of flowers and oil". When visiting relatives, she talked and cried, describing the palace ouchi as a "shady place" with no interest at all. After the mothering, Yuan Fei never had a chance to leave the palace, and then died of a sudden illness.

She is not only inferior to her sisters in guessing poems, but also knows how to give in and be bullied. Her pearls and jewels were gambled by servants, but she didn't pursue them. Others wanted to get it back for her, but she said, "I'd rather not. Why get angry?" Her father, Jia She, owed the Sun family 5,200 pieces of silver, so marrying her to the Sun family was actually paying her debts. Shortly after marriage, she was abused to death by Sun Shaozu.
Jia Tanchun
Jia Zheng was born to my aunt Zhao, the third young lady of the Jia family. She is clever, scheming and decisive, and even Mrs. Wang and Feng have nicknamed her "Rose". Her feudal hierarchy is particularly strong, so she despises and hates her own biological mother, Aunt Zhao, who is in the position of a servant girl and heartless. When she raided the Grand View Garden, in order to maintain the dignity of the master in front of the servant girl, she "told the servant girl to open the door with a candle", and only allowed others to search her locker, and no one was allowed to touch her things. "I didn't plan on it." Wang Shanbao, who didn't understand this, touched Tanchun and got a slap on the spot. Tanchun was deeply touched by the crisis that Jia Mansion was about to collapse. She tried to save it with a small reform of "promoting advantages and eliminating disadvantages", but it didn't help. Finally, Jia Tanchun married far away.

When copying the Grand View Garden, she gritted her teeth and insisted, driving away the maid who was not at fault and being indifferent to the tears and sorrows of others.

At her uncle's house, she can't be the master at all, and she has to do needlework from time to time until midnight. Her life experience is somewhat similar to that of Lin Daiyu, but she has no rebellious spirit of Lin Daiyu and is influenced by Xue Baochai to some extent. She is outspoken, cheerful and generous, mischievous, and even dares to sleep on the big bluestone in the garden after being drunk. She and Baoyu are good friends. When they are together, they are sometimes affectionate and sometimes annoyed, but she is open-minded and never cares about her children's affairs. Later, she married Wei.

After Jia's downfall, she was raped and kidnapped by a Hercules.
A Dream of Red Mansions, also known as The Story of the Stone, is regarded as the most accomplished classical novel of China and the pinnacle of China's novel creation. The last forty chapters of A Dream of Red Mansions are regarded as Gao E's sequels. The book is based on the love tragedies of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, and focuses on the process of Jia Ning's prosperity and decline. It comprehensively describes the human world in the last days of feudal society and all kinds of disharmonious contradictions.
Highlight: Baoyu stamped his foot in a hurry and didn't grasp the place. Jia Zheng's page came and forced him out. When Jia Zheng saw this, his eyes were red and purple. He couldn't help questioning him about wandering around the world, giving gifts to private objects, neglecting his studies at home, insulting his mother and servant girl, and only ordered him to "shut up and kill him!" The pages did not dare to disobey, so they had to press Baoyu on the stool and lift the big board and hit him a dozen times. Jia Zheng was so light that he couldn't beat him. He kicked the palm board open, took it away by himself, and covered it with his teeth for thirty or forty times. Seeing the fight was ominous, the public rushed forward to try to convince them. Jia Zheng was willing to listen and said, "Ask him what he did! It's always you people who have made him [used to making him] and indulged him. ] No, I'm still here to comfort you. If he kills his father tomorrow, you can't persuade him! "
Appreciation: About the reason why Baoyu was beaten.
To sum up, the reasons for Baoyu's beating are both external and internal. From the analysis, Zhongshun Wang Fu asked Jia Fu for Qigong, and Jia Huan took the opportunity to complain, which only added fuel to the fire.
The external reason is Jia Zheng's "shock and anger", and "shock" is the main reason. He was afraid that it would endanger his future and the fundamental interests of the Jia family. So he said he would kill Baoyu, "so as not to humiliate his ancestors and commit the crime of disobedience." I am angry that Baoyu is making friends outside and causing trouble.
On the surface, the internal reason is that Jia Huan complained that Baoyu had attempted to rape Jin Chuaner, which led to Jin Chuaner's death by throwing himself into a well, which made Jia Zheng "angry as gold paper" and wanted to "kill Baoyu immediately". In fact, Jia Huan's slanderous remarks imply the contradiction between Jia Fu and the people.
The external cause belongs to the social environment, and the internal cause belongs to the family environment. Judging from Jia Zheng's words and deeds, especially from the purpose of "glorifying ancestors", external reasons directly threaten the position and destiny of Jia Fu. If Jia Huan is a little angry, he will inevitably "bite his teeth and try his best".
