When I read A Dream of Red Mansions for the first time, I found that Qin Keqing's appearances in the text and the time used to shape her text and story were pitiful. It seems that she died before the story began, but she was able to become one of them? Twelve women in Jinling? This line is really incredible. However, after careful reading, it is found that the author's identification of the identity of the twelve women in Jinling lies not in their contribution to the story of this book, but in their character and identity and The Secret Behind. The fifth chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions also explains that these twelve women are the first of the twelve women in Jinling. We can analyze Qin Keqing's character and identity and the human significance behind it from the following aspects.
First of all, Qin Keqing is extremely beautiful. Jia Baoyu was dreaming in a dreamland, and Cao Xueqin gave the most direct description of her beauty. As mentioned in the book, the beauty of Qin Keqing is the glamorous charm of Xue Baochai and the romantic charm of Lin Daiyu. The looks of the other nine women are even more difficult to compare. Only the later Xue Baoqin can compete with him.
Second, Qin Keqing won the praise of Jia Fu. The fourth time in A Dream of Red Mansions, it was said that Jia Baoyu wanted to sleep because of temporary fatigue. Qin Keqing, his niece, boldly offered to wait on him to sleep in front of Grandmother Jia. However, Jia deeply felt that this kind of behavior should be avoided. The reason is that Jia always thought that Qin Keqing was the daughter-in-law of the first great-grandson. And he is elegant and delicate, and he is gentle and peaceful. Therefore, it won the grandmother's love. What's more, when she was seriously ill, You spoke highly of her, saying, such a person, such a personality, can't be found with lanterns. And the suspect Jia Zhen also said, who knows that my daughter-in-law is ten times stronger than my son? Therefore, Rong Ning and Fuxi highly affirmed Qin Keqing's daily character.
Thirdly, the fate of Qin Keqing is closely related to that of Baodai. Writing is also beautiful. For Xue Baoqin's praise of beauty, the author only tells others through others' mouths, and others can't compare with it; As for the praise of Qin Keqing's beauty, he deliberately compared her with Baodai. Personally, it seems to imply mystery. The reason is mainly reflected in the change of the relationship between Bao Dai and Dai Dai. These two important characters in the book have their own merits and different personalities.
There are differences. Similarly, these two important figures, because of their incompatible personalities and their relationship with the same admirer, intrigued and mocked each other in previous times: Lin Daiyu thought that Xue Baochai had a traitor hidden in her heart, and Xue Baochai thought that Lin Daiyu was easy to play with and difficult to get along with. Therefore, personally, Baodai at this time is completely split in personality, and the other half is A Qin Ke Qing who is wandering around. However, about 40 times later, this divided Qin Keqing actually merged into one. Therefore, I personally think that after the death of Qin Keqing in A Dream of Red Mansions, the author created A Qin Ke Qing for us, which made up for the vacancy of Jia's beauty. But after all, Qin Keqing's fate is tragic. So Baodai's ending will also be tragic because of the combination. Maybe this kind of beauty is too much for men of that era.
Fourth, your fate coincides with Jia's. In the fifth cycle, Cao Xueqin's judgment on Qin Keqing is the best proof. His verdict said: boundless love is in an illusion of love. When love meets, it will dominate her. If you talk nonsense, you will have honor. It's a good start to trouble. According to some people's interpretation, the first sentence of this judgment is that the author denies that Qin Keqing seduced Baoyu, and the second sentence means that the root of Jia's decline lies in Ningguo mansion, and the dude in the mansion is just tinkering around the edges. Among them, Qin Keqing seems to be the main figure that caused the decline of Jiafu.
Fifth, Qin Keqing's life is a mystery. The author has just publicly told us that Qin Keqing was an orphan brought up by Qin Bangye in the nursery. However, the author's description of Qin Keqing's temperament, cultivation and human feelings seems to be somewhat incompatible with this point. First of all, ancient marriage paid attention to the right match. It seems unlikely that the Jia family is so prominent that they married the daughter of a poor family. Thirdly, even if Jia Fu can break through this secular world, Qin Bangye's personal ability and family background will never cultivate a daughter with aristocratic temperament. In addition, Qin Keqing's outstanding knowledge is far beyond the average aristocrat. If it is cultivated by Qin Bangye, no matter how excellent Qin Keqing is, she is only a small jasper at best, and Qin Keqing's words and deeds clearly show that she is a good family. Therefore, I personally feel that Qin Keqing's birth is just a cover set by the author. In this regard, the writer Liu explained that she was the daughter of an abandoned prince, but personally, although it is reasonable, there is still much room for consideration. After all, Jia's ancestors didn't make a fortune by speculation! Of course, many guesses are hard to come to a conclusion, and this mystery needs to be explored by lovers of the red chamber!
And Qin Keqing's mystery is also reflected in his unexpected arrangement in the fairy class in the dreamland, and at the same time, he bears the heavy responsibility of helping Jia's successor in melody (let Baoyu definitely explain the melody to the dust mirror later, which is called branding in Baoyu's heart? Amber forever? ) mark. Based on the above five points, I personally think that Cao Xueqin's setting of the role of Qin Keqing is intended to hint to us the highest secret contained in the story; That is, the reasons for the rise and fall of feudal families.
