If we want to break Qin Keqing's life experience, we must re-recognize her image and Cao Xueqin's extraordinary feelings in shaping her image.
Due to the interference of the fat criticism and the early Dream of Red Mansions, as well as the influence of secular culture, Qin Keqing undoubtedly became the image of an adulteress in readers' minds.
In addition, she died early at the beginning of the story, and the cause of death was shrouded in clouds, apparently caused by events; But a little deeper is not because of the situation; It is so difficult to draw a conclusion that it has been debated for nearly 300 years.
Fortunately, there is a fifth time, otherwise what should we do.
The fifth time, Qin Keqing appeared in Baoyu's dream. The image of her past life is quite similar to that of Daiyu, and there is also a fairy body named Ke Qing, which is beautiful in both words. Fairy tale sister
Ke Qing, a fairy born like Dai and Chai, is the initiator of Baoyu's sex life. In other words, her previous life was the first sexual object in Jia Baoyu's dream as a mature man. This situation, under the rule of Confucianism, makes readers more fascinated and interested, and there are many mysterious guesses and imaginations about her image.
Modern physiology and psychology have witnessed the variety of sexual objects of young men in wet dream for the first time. It has little to do with quality or morality. Facts have proved that if we don't understand this correctly, we will really make a big mistake and even regret it for life. Gary in the book is a living example.
Young wet dream is an innate science of human nature, which has been clearly recorded in all previous popular science medical works. However, it is regarded as a scourge by Confucian moral culture and is also classified as a forbidden place with sacred will; Once a woman commits a crime, she is regarded as ubers.
The result is a moral Confucian disciple who dreams of honesty all day; Constantly interpret the good dreams of burning Dan, longevity, fishing, imperial women, becoming immortal and building graves; Long-term influence on social ideology.
Especially the demon Confucianism, wearing Taoist robes, dancing with flying brushes, chattering in front of the gossip stove; Simple learning, once suppressed and concealed, becomes more mysterious.
Confucianism deliberately attributed the original simple theory to the category of Laozi's theory; Jia Jing, the old master of Ningguo Mansion in the book, is such a figure. Well done! How strange is it? Qin Keqing was the upper class at that time, and the lineal daughter-in-law of such a family was in charge in the future.
From the fifth review, Qin Keqing hanged himself or died of affection. The first sentence of the judgment says: boundless love is in illusion. Heaven is far from hating heaven; People at sea are worried about the sea. The body is a police phantom fairy, or her sister can be both beautiful and beautiful; She specializes in human love affairs and debts, and is in charge of women and men in the world.
The second sentence says: when love meets, it will dominate prostitution; It means: at first, Nuwa only made men and women; Since love is an innate thing, when men and women meet, they will have lust. The so-called lewdness is another name for sex. Hate and sorrow are lovesickness and love; This is an innate emotion.
If there is lovesickness between men and women, there will naturally be sex. If there is no sex, how can there be the continuation of life, and where can there be the process of human reproduction and civilization?
The so-called Confucian knowledge only shows that saints have a high-profile attitude towards food and sex; Have you ever seen the Dialogue between Lovers and Sex? Moralists gradually regard love and sex as lewd things (referring to evil things, contrary to the original intention of sex); Even Zeng Guofan, a master of modern Chinese studies, had to retreat to four halls of regret after making out with his concubines. It can be seen how heartless Master Zeng was, and he also used concubines as a catharsis tool.
Mr. Zeng is a modern recognized master of Chinese studies. Modern masters are still like this, which shows how the saints before Cao Xueqin practiced. Confucian saints abandon erotic desire, or teach prostitution regardless of erotic desire; I am also busy with the color of imperial women and the creation of graves; How many moral monarchs have been produced in thousands of years?
Cao Xueqin clearly saw through these things.
The last two sentences of the judgment are arrogant and arrogant, and the beginning of the trouble is really better. Directly draw a conclusion: Jia Baoyu, who is close to women in Fu Rong, is regarded as unscrupulous; Jia Jing, the old clan leader of Ningfu, was regarded as a spiritual practitioner. How embarrassing? Under the rule of Confucianism, China people's understanding and attitude towards eroticism is putting the cart before the horse, which affects the trend of social ideology.
Qin Keqing predicted more clearly: under the Confucian moral culture, no matter how luxurious the house is, it is also a place where women are slaughtered. Qin Keqing was finally disappointed and had to hang himself on the other side.
The so-called good at amorous feelings, grasp the appearance of the moon; It can be seen that transcending the asceticism that violates (excels at) human nature will make people go to the abyss in an affair, which is quite different from the original intention of moral purity; As a result, love, which was originally a normal human nature, turned out to be the root of failure.
Once the desire for survival is suppressed, it will evolve into a deformed practice like Jia Jing's pursuit of soaring to immortal and eternal dreams; And then lead to the decadence of life. A family is so long, how can family affairs not die? Without home, there is no state affairs. The fundamental reason is that the emperor's Confucian system put the cart before the horse and suppressed people's normal desires.
For the first time, I said: Although A Dream of Red Mansions is about love, it is only a record of love; It's not a fake name, it's a blind date invitation, comparable to stealing an alliance. Romance in this book is real love in life, not those fascinating fictional cliches. Blindness shows that the author does not deny the coexistence with love.
Obviously, the author also despises obscene and cliched erotic works; He is more worried about the harm of blindly abusing this world without interest and love. A dream of red mansions is not illusory, but the author's original intention.
As the complex of Chai and Dai in Jia Baoyu's dream, it became the representative of Cao Xueqin's extraordinary feelings. A Dream of Red Mansions therefore explores the roots of human affairs. What is love? It is really a heartbreaking proposition to ask what love is in the world.
Second, the origin of the cultural image of Qin Keqing
The seventh time, Qin Keqing's younger brother Qin Zhong appeared, and the author took this opportunity to clearly introduce her birth and family background. And a few times before, Qin Keqing's image is mostly in the eyes or mouth of others, which is naturally related to her background. But these are not important; What is important is that Cao Xueqin wants readers to understand that he is very affectionate in shaping the image of Qin Keqing.
In the seventh paragraph of the current version, a poem suddenly appeared before the paragraph, which is said to be available in other versions. A dream of red mansions is not a traditional novel with chapters, so there is no poem before each chapter. But there was one the seventh time.
In the first half of the seventh cycle, Aunt Xue, the representative of Zhou Rui's family, presented palace flowers to Ying, Tan, Dai, Feng and others. The Xue family used to be a royal merchant, so they naturally left some stocks at home as special offerings such as tribute flowers.
The Xue family sent twelve palace flowers, and everyone else got two; Xifeng took four, apparently for Qiaojie. Because she was too young to enjoy the flowers, Xifeng ordered Pinger to give two flowers to the grandmother of Ningfu. Xiaorong's grandmother is Qin Keqing.
In the second half of the Seventh National Congress, Qin Zhong made an official appearance because of his studies. Look at this poem before you come back:
Twelve flowers are the latest color,
I wonder who is a flower lover?
If you know his name,
My surname is Ben Qin and I live in Jiangnan.
This poem is plain and vulgar on the surface, with a hint of romance, but its implication is extremely profound. Shi Yan, who lives in the south of the Yangtze River, is surnamed Qin; This poem is from Liu Yuan, a poet in the south-central part of Liang Dynasty.
Yutai New Poems is the third anthology of poems in the Southern Dynasties after The Book of Songs and Songs of Chu in the history of China literature. Current Chinese textbooks, such as Shang Mo Sang and Peacock Flying Southeast, are all in it.
Among them, the poems are mainly love poems and colourful love songs that praise love, and most of them are about despising dignitaries, resisting ethics and fighting for freedom of marriage; This is a great progress in China culture and China literature. Therefore, it was rated as a cliche by moralists.
In fact, it is not the earliest to investigate the famous sentence of Liu Yuan in Nanliang, that is, "I first met jade before marriage, and my surname was Qin when I came". The front should be the first four sentences sung by Shang Mo:
Sunrise southeast corner, according to my Qin Lou;
Qin has a good daughter who calls herself Luo Fu.
Sang in Shang Mo is a Yuefu poem in the Han Dynasty, which was first seen in the Annals of Song Le Shu compiled by Shen Yue in the Southern Dynasties and named Yuefu in Yan Ge. Its theme eulogizes the fighting spirit of Luo Fu, a woman who is not afraid of power and unwilling to be left behind. If this poem really comes from the Han Dynasty, it is really worth eulogizing.
It can be witnessed that the true national spirit has existed in ordinary women for a long time; It's beyond the description of the grandiose sage.
Third, Qin Keqing's life experience is a bit tortuous.
Through the analysis of the first two sections, we can see that Qin Keqing created by Cao Xueqin is not only the embodiment of human love, but also a heroic female image who is not afraid of power, unwilling to be humiliated and dare to fight. On this basis, the author clearly introduces her family background, birth and related problems derived from it.
The eighth time, Qin Bangye, Qin Keqing's father, is nearly 70 years old, and now he is a businessman. The so-called Shan Lang, Cao Xueqin's fictional official position, has the meaning of Dr. Wupin of the Ministry of Industry in Ming and Qing Dynasties. He is a court official of the Royal Administration of Engineering Construction.
Qin Keqing, the daughter of a five-product doctor, and Jia Rong, a three-product hereditary son of the general, are basically suitable; In the old society, marriage paid more attention to the woman's inferior background.
The author also emphasizes that the formation of marriage is due to the origin of Qin family and Jia family. So, what is the relationship between Qin's family and Jia's family? It's not in the book.
Not only the Qin family, but also Leng Zixing, Granny Liu, Miaoyu and other figures, all of whose families are related to the Jia family. In particular, Miaoyu's family is a family friend of Jia's former colleagues.
Qin Bangye had no children in his early years because his wife had no hope of bearing children. He adopted a son and a daughter in a health home. The adopted son later died; His wife died soon after. The adopted daughter of Yangshengtang is Qin Keqing.
Later, when Qin Bangye was in his fifties, he added a new daughter-in-law. The new lady gave birth to a son, Qin Zhong. Based on the fact that Qin Bangye was nearly 70 years old, Qin Zhong was about 14 or 5 years old when he appeared, which was equivalent to Baoyu, Baochai and Daiyu.
Qin Keqing comes from Yangshengtang, and Qin Zhong is not the same brother and sister, and is not related by blood. There used to be a teacher in Qin Zhong's family, but unfortunately he died last year. Qin Bangye was shy, patched together a gift of 24 taels of silver for Jia Fu, and asked Jia Fu for help through his adopted daughter Qin Keqing, so that Qin Zhong could continue his studies.
The description of the Qin family's life experience is very puzzling. Supposedly, if HuiLaiShi, the imperial court five product department camp repair doctor, should be a lucrative job. And Qin Bangye is so shabby that he is embarrassed to pay for his only son's schooling? Could it be that education was expensive and schools were scarce at that time? What are the conditions?
Fourthly, Qin Keqing's life experience is brand-new.
In order to solve the mysterious doubts about Qin Keqing's life experience and the problems and contradictions arising from it, I directly express my views: based on the background of the times determined when discussing Baoqin; Inferring from the situation of Qin family and the age of Qin Bangye;
Qin Bangye should be a former official accepted by the Dynasty's New Deal. So, he looks shabby. The New Deal authorities, perhaps barbarians, did not pay enough attention to the popularization of culture and education, so that even Dr. Wupin's family found it difficult to study.
The author clearly points out that the marriage between Qin Bangye and Jia family is mainly due to their long-term relationship. In other words, Qin Keqing and Jia Rong are arranged marriages; Therefore, the relationship between husband and wife is not necessarily intimate; It's just that he respects me and I respect him (Qin language).
Further inference: Qin Keqing's biological father and relatives should be former general Wu Zhi who died at the time of regime change; Or the dead officials or nobles of the country.
Qin Keqing's relatives and many civil and military officials of the former dynasty were martyred by the war of regime change, and their children became orphans. Qin Bangye (Qin Ye full of conscience and compassion) has a deep relationship with them. I just had no children, so I adopted their orphans.
The situation of the adopted son should be similar to that of Qin Keqing.
The above inference, under the new policy of dynasty replacement in Chinese history, there should be many cases like Qin family. Moreover, only with the conclusion inferred in this way as the key link can we fundamentally solve all kinds of mysterious doubts and contradictions about Qin Keqing's life experience. Below, take this as an example to illustrate a few:
1, experienced the five dynasties of Jia, saw the world, respected ceremony and tolerated; So she regarded Qin Keqing as the first great-grandson to be proud of. Because Qin, who is closely related to the Jia family, married Ningfu, she, as the ancestor of the Jia family, knew all this like the back of her hand.
2. You should know Qin Keqing's life experience and life experience; So their mother-in-law relationship can't get along with ordinary mother-in-law relationship.
3. After Qin Keqing's death, two personal maids, Jolie and Zhu Bao, were martyred; A filial daughter is filial. Because they are Qin Keqing's personal maids, they will be infected and moved by Qin Keqing's integrity at ordinary times.
4. How dare Jia Zhen ignore Qin Keqing's position as Jia's first pride? Therefore, he devoted himself to Qin's funeral; And regardless of Jia Zheng's dissuasion, he unscrupulously used the senior wooden coffin transferred by Xue Pan.
As for Jia Zhen's cry baby, he has his own place to cry; I really cried for myself and my family: Jia Zhen is the head of the Jia family and the hereditary general of Sanpin Weilie; This title can be enjoyed by the eldest son from generation to generation, although it is downgraded from generation to generation.
However, Qin Keqing is an only son and eldest daughter-in-law, and has no children. This kind of problem is a fatal and serious event in a patriarchal society; As a patriarch and parent, how can Jia Zhen not shed tears? So he wants to donate a good name for Qin Keqing and Jia Rong, and he has to handle Qin Keqing's funeral, which shows that he attaches importance to the issue of the heir to the longhouse; In order to marry into a noble family again, inherit Jia's hereditary incense and continue the grace of the royal family.
This is such a simple reason why gossip and moralists get a glimpse of things.
Fifth, Jiao Da's sense of shame.
The main evidence of gossip and moralists exploring promiscuity is nothing more than Jiao Da's drunken scolding. In fact, Jiao Da is just a simple, loyal and simple old slave; He has no position, only "good or bad".
The reason why Jiao Da cried and cursed was not clearly pointed out, but aimed at the common bad phenomenon in the upper class; It is far-fetched to say that Qin Keqing is planning a relationship with Jia Zhen, Jia Qiang or Baoyu.
Jiao Da doesn't want to work for Qin Zhong, it should be because he despises the Qin family, not Qin Keqing.
Compared with the original owner, the Qin family, which was demoted from the former dynasty, belongs to the stream of two ministers defecting. The old slave is simple-minded, but after the five generations of Jia family, he should know the situation of Qin family like the back of his hand, so he has contempt and hostility.
Jiao Da should have this so-called sense of shame; Since ancient times, people in China have basically had it; No matter what class they are, no matter how much they can understand shame; Even this so-called concept of integrity, that is, the general concept of loyalty, filial piety and moral integrity, is almost the spiritual food for China people to survive in endless suffering.
It can be seen that the so-called sage's words have a great and far-reaching impact on China society. So in the end, Jiao Da, who was stuffed with horse manure, painfully confessed that he was going to his temple to cry for his grandfather and ancestors.
Jiao Da's martyr temperament is comparable to that of civil and military loyal ministers.
To say the least: Even if Qin Keqing was having an affair with Jia Zhen, why did Jiao Da-hui see it with his own eyes? It should still be the endless words of right and wrong of the servants in Ningfu. Even if the so-called popular support of Jia's lower class thinks it is an adulterer, how much truth can the so-called popular support of ancient China represent?
This question is more heartbreaking than Qin Keqing's life experience. Moral experts who evaluated and discriminated against women in Chinese national history, such as Cong Si, Zhao, Wu Zetian, etc. It's all sad and shameful hard evidence.
Don't talk too much.
From the perspective of ordinary people, Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing do have a very deep emotional relationship; But this kind of emotion is by no means very emotional in Cao Xueqin's works. What the hell is going on here? Why did the Qin family go to a dead end?
Six, Qin Keqing's death.
When writing A Dream of Red Mansions in the early Qing Dynasty, the small regimes in Nanming were all wiped out. In the early years of Qianlong, the continuous clean-up and suppression of political dissidents caused by the rebellion of the imperial court were all Cao Xueqin's regime change and coup.
Especially for the case of Hong Yong, it even directly influenced and changed Cao Xueqin's life trajectory. Therefore, he naturally will not let go of the constant examination of such incidents. Hong Yong's violation of discipline directly or indirectly affected and hit his family, which became the driving force for his creation of A Dream of Red Mansions.
The main purpose of Mr. Liu's Qin studies is to make peace with the two political investments made by the Jia family and its group in the royal circle, which are two invisible wings that they rely on in the court struggle. The study of Qin Dynasty initiated a precedent to reveal the root of the tragedy of the Red Chamber from the perspective of political struggle. Mr. Liu's gist of piano learning is basically close to my red thought.
It has been inferred from the above that the origin of Qin Keqing's prototype should be an aristocratic orphan living in the Ming Dynasty or a dynasty in Nanming before Jiangnan; Also the daughter of a high-ranking official of the dynasty; When she marries Jianing House and becomes her eldest grandson's daughter-in-law, she should cherish this position.
Judging from Qin Bangye's attitude towards Qin Zhong, he should have received a fairly good education and have the knowledge of Chai. The original Qin Keqing should be an outstanding woman who worked very hard and made great progress, and was highly praised by the whole government.
Qin Jia or Qin Keqing's biological parents have a long history with Jia Fu. The so-called well-known relationship is either an old relative or a family friend; Because she is the daughter-in-law of Ningfu and the orphan of the former martyr who died in the Great Patriotic War; The older it is.
For these reasons, Ningfu was very generous with Qin Keqing's living expenses. Therefore, the furnishings in her bedroom are extremely luxurious and are taken care of by the Jia family after illness.
Qin Keqing, who is growing up, should understand his life experience.
Her adoptive father, Qin Bangye, is still struggling awkwardly, which should be because Nanming has been trying to recover the Ming Dynasty. Qin Keqing has lived in such a heroic story since she was a child, and her heart should look forward to it.
Qin Keqing, who is virtuous and gentle, silently does a good job as a daughter-in-law, ten times better than Jia Rongqiang. She won the praise and love of both houses.
However, when receiving the news of the demise of the small court in Nanming, it is very likely that the degeneration and self-abandonment under the torture of disappointment will happen again. But you don't have to raise your brother-in-law or be dusted. This may be the reason why Cao Xueqin wrote first and then deleted. This inference is consistent with the fat batch's "bear the burden of humiliation and take care of the overall situation"; The so-called affair through the grapevine seems to have nothing to do with insulting the overall situation.
At this time, Qin Keqing's communication activities will be unusual, because she often has to discuss relevant secrets with key family members, including Jia Zhen and Jia Qiang. In this way, you will get into trouble again.
The reason why many urchins make a scene in the ninth school is very intriguing. The so-called childlike innocence; Coupled with the intimate behavior of Baoyu and Qin Zhong, Qin Keqing's life story is secret, and it is likely to be leaked from the school first. Therefore, this has become the fundamental reason why Xifeng made up her mind to punish Jia Rui, the school supervisor.
Bad news keeps coming from Nanming. Coupled with the fall of the Jia family, Qin Zhong's trouble at school made him more disappointed and anxious, and then he couldn't afford to get sick.
At this time, the new policy of the authorities may set off some political movements because of the competition for interests and power; For example, crack down on the die-hards of the former dynasty or Nanming, or conduct secret investigations on people who have known contacts with them and their families; And the Qin family, naturally.
This is why Qin Keqing's image has always been mysterious.
The above inference is not presumptuous; The New Deal did exist in the early days of China's history. Due to hard work, Qin Keqing suffered from severe compound depression very early. The tenth time, the author gave a clear and detailed explanation through Zhang Youshi's mouth; The women who served the Qin family praised Zhang Taiyi for his brilliant diagnosis.
The most obvious symptom of women suffering from compound depression is menstrual disorder, which further affects the life of husband and wife; Jia Rong silently admitted Zhang Taiyi's diagnosis. This is the root cause of the cold relationship between Jia Rong and his wife in Qin Keqing. Reality has little to do with the legendary gossip.
Qin Keqing, who was sick, was finally completely disappointed.
Facing the emptiness and sadness of life experience and life experience, facing the loss and disillusionment of hopes and dreams, she has her own new plans; She saw the sunshine on the other side.
Judging from Zhang Youshi's diagnosis and prescription, Qin Keqing fell ill very early, which is a very serious compound depression caused by extreme anxiety and panic. Therefore, her suicide is more in line with the manic and short-sighted symptoms of such patients after despair.
Qin Keqing's choice, there should be a little sacrifice for the country, the so-called national integrity. This inference can be confirmed by Qin Keqing's talent and sense of hardship in A Dream of Red Mansions. However, even if Qin Keqing has the so-called national integrity, it is still not the extraordinary feelings described by Cao Xueqin.
Before I married Mingyu, I came here with my surname Qin. The original intention of these two poems is that, as a national treasure, the first one who owned it was the Qin Dynasty that unified China. This poem compares the personification of the imperial seal to an unmarried girl; Once married, it represents the replacement of imperial power.
Before I married Mingyu, I came here with my surname Qin. There is a deeper meaning: no matter how Yuxi got married or remarried, she always surnamed Qin.
The extension means that the imperial power in history has been constantly changing, but its essence and ending are no different from those of the Qin Dynasty. The moral of this poem is worth pondering. Cao Xueqin made it clear that Qin Keqing is the embodiment of human customs, which seems to have nothing to do with imperial power.
Then, what kind of realm Cao Xueqin's extraordinary portrayal of Qin Keqing's image will reach, which will be summarized in the following detailed discussion.
Tang Dou's prodigal son's nirvana in fire The Red Chamber: On Qin Keqing
