This aristocratic bureaucratic family seems to have no time to give her more class education; It seems that she hasn't had time to bring her deep feelings about all the social regulations on women; But it only left an empty and warm memory for her life, which made her take the first step towards social life. In order to "relieve her father's domestic troubles and foreign invasion", she came to the newly "prosperous" Guo Rong Mansion.
As soon as she stepped into the gate of Guo Rong Mansion, she was immediately wrapped by the "gentleness" in the feudal family. Jia Mu "cried in her arms"; Lady Wang took out satin to cut her clothes; Feng also took her hand and said, "Just tell me what you want to eat and what you are stubborn about. If the girl's wife is not well, just tell me ",and immediately ask someone to clean up the house for her. This grandson and daughter who came from afar not only received such a warm reception as soon as they set foot on the threshold, but also "loved them" and put their three granddaughters "Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun behind" and "ate and lived like Baoyu". Indeed, who once favored Fu so much? Love has reached the highest level. Who in Guo Rong Building doesn't give a respectful and warm look to this girl who is "well-behaved and well-spoken"?
Not only that, the cousin who made her feel strange at first sight, but also "sat together for one day and stopped together for one night", and the intimacy was "different" ...
Or is it a prelude to that family tragedy?
The complex phenomenon of life is to unfold such a "mystery of life" for us first.
When we first arrived at Guo Rong Building, we saw Lin Daiyu observing everything carefully and answering everything politely. She seems to remember her mother's last words: "Grandma's house is different from other homes", so she "pays attention step by step, always cares, does not say a word, and does not move forward" ...
This cautious life may have its own advantages?
However, we saw that she didn't seem to do it seriously. She soon left an impression of "aloof" on the people in Guo Rong Building.
It turned out that the kind of "attention" and "concern" when she first arrived here was only based on such a motive: "I am afraid of being laughed at." No wonder she didn't leave too much impression on others, just let us know that this is a girl with strong self-esteem.
However, fate seemed to play with her maliciously, and soon her father died again. When she went back to her hometown to take care of her affairs, and then returned to the mansion, she was no longer the young lady of Yangzhou Yanbanlin, who came here as a guest, but a homeless relative who came to Jia's mansion to take refuge. Under such circumstances, self-esteem has obviously lost its place, and her "self-restraint" is even more out of place.
However, this change did not change the girl's attitude towards life. On the contrary, it seemed to arouse her pride and make her stare around suspiciously for fear that someone would discriminate and despise her. Zhou Rui's wife gave two palace flowers, and her first concern was not its "Wei Miaoxin Qiao", but whether "others didn't pick the rest". When Yuan Chun returned to this province, everyone wrote poems and had a good time. She could have sung a hymn to her voice, but all she wanted to do was "show her talent to be overwhelming". Later, because he could not "violate many lines", he "made a five-character poem at random" Grandmother Jia was unhappy for Xue Baochai's birthday. This was not suitable for words, but she just showed her "resentment". Shi Xiangyun said that she was like Xiao Dan on the stage, and everyone smiled and echoed. She could have laughed it off, but she sensitively felt that comparing her with a "player" was a kind of "teasing" with contempt, so she was greatly dissatisfied and could not help but get angry. ...
It seems that this girl has too much sensitivity and self-esteem. Her temperament seems so narrow. But all this always stems from a hidden pain in her heart, that is, her fate of relying on others to live. She is uneasy about this fate, but she can't get rid of it. This kind of contradiction often distorts her feelings and psychology, so her mood will never be calm and will provoke a lot of seemingly unnecessary troubles and pains.
Once, she knocked on the door of Yikangyuan. Qingwen mistook it for a girl and refused to open the door. This pure misunderstanding actually hurt her so deeply. If she really "asks her loudly" outside the door, things will be solved. However, this dependence on others did not make her think much, but immediately aroused a feeling in her heart: "Now his parents are dead and helpless, and his family lives alone, and now he is seriously angry and bored." Really, nothing hurts this girl more than hurting her self-esteem, and hurting her by the fate of living. That night, she "leaned against the railing of the bed, with her knees in her hands and tears in her eyes. Like a woodcarving clay sculpture, she sat straight for more than 20 days before falling asleep." The next day, she saw falling flowers all over the floor and wrote the famous Flower Burial with emotion.
The fallen petal awakens the fate that women can only be trampled on by others in her heart and cannot be dominated by themselves.
However, the girl can't know more, and she blames this fate on her lack of a home. As a result, she suffered from homesickness anxiety. The noise in the Grand View Garden, the laughter and warmth of other people's homes, and even the fallen flowers in nature, autumn wind and autumn rain, etc. , has caused her heart homeless. In front of her, the whole world seems to be the raw material for tears and sadness.
It seems that this grandmother's family didn't show any kindness to her, and everything treated her like a lady. She seems to torture herself with too much doubt and intolerance. She didn't seem to see that the lavish Jia family would care about the granddaughter's food and clothing expenses? At the same time, did you show any "petty" in front of her? What's more, Jia, who is too authoritative in feudal families, loves her so much; Losing parents not only did not cause discrimination, but aroused the warmth and love of the old lady. Indeed, living under the door of such a good relative, what is the need to be so obsessed with your own pain? Wouldn't it be lucky to be someone else?
However, it is here that we find the very subtle charm of Lin Daiyu.
Such a character, living in that era, became the source of all pain. As Chernyshevski said: "What a person can enjoy and bear can only be given to him by society." Therefore, Lin Daiyu's pain is not due to her sensitivity and paranoia, not to mention her self-esteem, but to the private system that causes this sensitivity and paranoia and oppresses this self-esteem. Private ownership, which is the total root of all pain and evil.
In all feudal family societies in China, the value, dignity, status and so on of a person are calculated by furniture. The so-called "a daughter's son can't sit in the hall", "a rich family, a rich body" and so on just illustrate this situation. Therefore, a person who has no home is equal to losing all social status, and the whole world seems to stand up in front of him, and there is no place of his own. Lin Daiyu, who lost her home, found a place to live in Jiafu, but many mental obstacles such as boundaries and concepts caused by the private ownership social system have not been eliminated in her mind. At the same time, it has not been eliminated in the hearts of people around.
Moreover, private ownership has caused a lot of hatred, struggle, competition, fraud and so on between people, which happens every day in the walls of Guo Rongfu and beside Lin Daiyu. Faced with this situation, even the maid Jiahui, who is still not sensible, lamented: "This place is really unbearable!" Is it true that under those snobbish eyes, Lin Daiyu, who has nothing but a suit, can settle down?
Not only that, but how can even the formal members of this family settle down? Miss Tanchun put it well: "We are a family of flesh and blood. We are all like black-eyed chickens. I hope you eat me and I will eat you. " This feeling naturally deepened in Lin Daiyu, an outsider. To tell the truth, people respect her only because they respect Jia, which is too authoritative. At the same time, since others can generously give her this kind of love, of course, it can also be taken back reasonably. It turned out that it wasn't? Yes, this is the "character" that almost everyone can achieve until others show their faces.
It can be seen that Lin Daiyu's paranoia and sensitivity are not unfounded pains that she found herself. It is through her paranoia and sensitivity that we see what magic that society has! It can torture a person secretly and tortuous, and even make you feel that it is entirely his own fault after hurting a person.
She is a charming and romantic aristocratic lady. Due to the early death of her parents, she relies on others. The environment made her feel proud and alert. She is arrogant, despises fame and fortune, and exposes all decadent phenomena in a sarcastic and ruthless way. She opposed the feudal marriage system and pursued true love and freedom. The feudal forces made her unable to get rid of the shackles of feudal thought, and her performance in love was not bold enough. She has a serious sentimental and melancholy mood, often tears and cries, and has a vague understanding of the nature of some representatives of the Jia family. She knew that her love with Baoyu could not be accepted by the rulers of Jia's house, but she fantasized about Jia's pity and miss. The limitation of class background made it impossible for her to completely get rid of the shackles of feudal ethics.
Lin Daiyu is aloof by nature, hates red tape as much as Baoyu, and never forces Baoyu to do what he doesn't want to do. She despises fame and power. When Jia Baoyu gave her a string of precious rosaries from Beijing Jingdi and Yongzheng, she said, "I don't want this thing from a smelly man!" She and Baoyu share the same interests and really love each other. Lin Daiyu died in tears.
First of all, Lin Daiyu is a woman with inner wisdom and external beauty. "These two bays are like frowning eyebrows and a pair of crying eyes. The state has two sorrows, and it is sick. Tears a little, breath slightly. Laziness shines on the water like a beautiful flower and acts like a weak willow. The heart is a little more than the stem, and the disease is not as good as the west. " This poem fully shows Daiyu's blurred, dreamy, morbid, weak and dynamic beauty and temperament. I can't find a better adjective to fully describe such refined beauty and charm, or "she is peerless and delicate", or "this woman should only be in the sky, how can she be seen on earth!" The beauty of Lin Daiyu is also manifested in her brilliant talent and poetic temperament.
One:
Lin Daiyu's "Sad Beauty"
In A Dream of Red Mansions, Lin Daiyu may be a fairy and unattainable, which seems to be a kind of marriage. She doesn't want so many tricks of fate, and her characteristics can be summarized as "sad beauty".
A Dream of Red Mansions can be said to be a classic with strong tragic color in ancient China. From the beginning, "full of absurd things and bitter tears" to "the white land is really clean" is a perfect interpretation of the word "tragedy". Tragedy is the most touching, but it also leaves people with long-lasting thoughts and deep impressions.
In A Dream of Red Mansions, almost every character has his own tragic characteristics. From Jia Baoyu's "customs are exhausted, it becomes a round feeling" to Lin Daiyu's "eyes turned over, and a wisp of fragrant soul dispersed with the wind", it can be seen that Lin Daiyu is a touching and lingering example in the novel. In A Dream of Red Mansions, Cao Weng portrayed Lin Daiyu as a "sad and beautiful" image with unique spirituality, abnormal intelligence and difficult fate. In the third episode of "Take Grandson Jia, Cherish Orphan Daughter", Daiyu "looks green, but has good manners and manners, but has a romantic appearance", and her "sad beauty" comes to an end. The novel "Sad Beauty" is mainly written from the following aspects. Sadness is mainly manifested in Lin Daiyu's "bleak and delicate life", and beauty is manifested in "exterior, connotation and art" The combination of the two forms the tragic image of Lin Daiyu's "sad beauty".
External sadness and beauty
When I first met Daiyu, the author did not directly draw her beauty, but skillfully used Xifeng's mouth and Baoyu's eyes to highlight Lin Daiyu's peerless beauty. Feng, who spoke frankly, was surprised when she saw Daiyu. "There are such beauties in the world! I saw it today! " In Baoyu's eyes, "two bends seem to frown, one eye seems to be happy but not happy, and two cymbals are worrying, both of which are sick." Tears a little, breath slightly. Silence is like a beautiful flower shining on the water, and action is like a weak willow. The heart is a little more than the stem, and the disease is not as good as the west. "What a daughter and a fairy sister! At this time, a living "beauty" of Daiyu has jumped from the page, which is Lin Daiyu's "external sadness".
Inner sadness
Lin Daiyu is sensitive and kind, and her dependence on others makes her always cautious in dealing with people and afraid of being looked down upon. On the other hand, the narrow-mindedness of a girl with a heart and wisdom can add something "smart and lovely" to her, thus making the role of Lin Daiyu more vivid, vivid and touching. This is the genius of the author. In a large part of some literary works, the author often praises the positive characters too much, which makes the protagonist almost deified, leading to the characterization divorced from real life and becoming empty and boring.
Daiyu's narrow-mindedness is manifested in many aspects of the novel, such as: "Zhou Rui's family sent two novel and ingenious fake flowers", but Daiyu ignored the novelty of palace flowers and just sneered: "I knew others would not give me the rest." Then Qingwen refused to open the door. In fact, only Qingwen failed to recognize Daiyu's voice and thought it was another girl. This was a misunderstanding, but poor Lin Daiyu thought she was "perched" under someone else's fence, and she was extremely sad: that night, she "leaned against the railing of the bed, her hands clasped her knees, and her eyes were full of tears, like a woodcarving clay sculpture, and she didn't go to sleep until more than twenty days later." From these words, on the one hand, we can understand the bleak situation of Daiyu and her fear of being looked down upon, on the other hand, we can also see some "little daughter modality" of Daiyu-a kind of helpless beauty.
Lin Daiyu lived in a huge feudal official family. From the outside, this is a lively place, with bursts of music, beautiful gardens and crows, but in fact it is a dark place full of hatred, competition, competition and snobbery. Lin Daiyu remembered her mother's legacy: "Grandmother is different from other families", so she "was careful step by step, always worried, refused to say more, and took more steps." Because she lives in such a dark environment, Lin Daiyu has to be careful about her behavior and pay special attention to other people's views and practices. Therefore, these narrow-minded people who seem a little biased are excusable, and even let readers deeply understand how helpless and desolate life is under the patronage.
Daiyu's kindness can be seen from the words she gets along with Baochai. Although they were tired of love and had some friction on weekdays, she later treated Baochai "ten times better than others" and regarded Baochai as her thoughtfulness. Furthermore, we can also see her inner kindness from her teaching Xiangling's poems "teaching people tirelessly" and her behavior of burying flowers. Facts have proved that it is not that Baochai is always "kind to people", but that Daiyu is "sincere and unreserved", which shows her innate kindness and frankness.
The image of "desolation" caused by life experience
Daiyu was only six years old when her mother died, and her father died soon after. Lin Daiyu "has no mother to raise and no sister to support", so she can only live in her grandmother's house, which is far from the wealth that the Lins can climb. In addition, the mother's last words that "grandma's home is different from other places" made Daiyu's young mind feel the heaviest depression.
Therefore, in Jia Fu's life, she often carefully "pays attention step by step, always cares, doesn't take one more step and doesn't say a word", fearing "being laughed at". It is conceivable that Daiyu's life is so helpless. Six or seven-year-old children, that is naive and lively, enjoy family happiness under their knees, and finally get such an opportunity, which is really sad!
It is precisely because of her life experience that Lin Daiyu is always cautious and afraid of giving people a mocking handle. This special living environment has caused her to have a lot of "narrow-mindedness", which is actually a manifestation of her "self-respect and self-love". The author uses this "narrow-minded" to describe Daiyu's self-esteem and self-love, which can make readers feel pity and respect for Daiyu and describe her bleak life experience incisively and vividly. Therefore, some people now criticize Daiyu for being "too small-minded", which is really a profound misunderstanding of the author. This is the author's subtle arrangement, which has a causal relationship, so we must observe it carefully.
In love, between Daiyu and Baochai, Baoyu's heart should have been with Daiyu for a long time. There is also a vow of eternal love between the two, but Daiyu's life experience and status are not as good as Baochai's, and some snobs in the Jia family get in the way. Even if the old lady knew that Baoyu and Daiyu had a vow of eternal love, she ignored it: "Everything else is easy to say. Teacher Lin is not wrong. If Baoyu is really like this, that is the real disaster! " It can be seen that Daiyu's weight in Jia's family. Finally, there was the "exchange plan" between Xifeng and Mrs. Wang, which led to the love tragedy that "lovers can't be married and lovers can't be separated" The death of Daiyu is closely related to this, and the tragic ending makes people feel sad and dizzy! One of the images of "desolation" is also.
A subtle and morbid "dim" image
Lin Daiyu suffered from "deficiency syndrome" since she was a child. "After many famous doctors, it never worked." We can know that Daiyu is "weak and delicate" from the words that his mother, Mrs. Jia, died and Daiyu was "too sad and timid to go to school sometimes". When Lin Daiyu and Baoyu met for the first time, Baoyu said, "The word' product' is wonderful." At this point, Daiyu's "Beauty of Beauty and Beauty's Disease" has jumped to the page.
Daiyu was delicate and couldn't stand a fatal blow. Coincidentally, I suddenly heard the news that Baoyu was going to marry Baochai, and I was very anxious. I immediately felt that "my body weighs thousands of kilograms, but my feet are like stepping on cotton, so I have to walk slowly step by step." I lost my mind in extreme sadness, so there was an accident that made the reader want to cry. When she returned to the entrance of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, her timid body couldn't bear it any longer: "I saw Daiyu leaning forward, wow, one mouthful blood spit out." His "life" and "illness" have entered a "critical juncture" at this time.
When Grandmother Jia came to see her in shock, Daiyu opened her eyes slightly and gasped, "Old lady, you have hurt me for nothing!" " Then he smiled and closed his eyes again. A description of "blinking slightly and panting" vividly and clearly depicts a delicate, weak, terminally ill and dying Daiyu! "Old lady," said Daiyu, "you've hurt me for nothing!" After reading the figures, readers can feel how much resentment, hatred, unwillingness and helplessness there are! I can't help crying every time I see this! If nothing else, only for Daiyu's helpless "desolation"!
Let's look at the time when "Lin Daiyu burned the manuscript and broke her infatuation". When she burned poems, she wrote several words of "breathing" in succession: "I gasped when I spoke ... I gasped in one place ... I closed my eyes and sat for a while", which vividly portrayed a morbid Daiyu. As soon as the poem was burned, Daiyu's mood was relieved. "Daiyu closed her eyes and leaned back, hardly overwhelming Zijuan." At this time, Daiyu was terminally ill and hopeless. Later, Daiyu's "hands were cold, even her eyes were scattered, her body was cold, and she rolled her eyes", but it was the time when Baoyu married Baochai! On the one hand, it is the saddest thing in the world, on the other hand, it is beautiful, and the most affectionate thing in the world is "desolation". As for this man!
This is a flying fairy, why is it so bleak? The god of Cao Weng's pen and ink is also here. On the one hand, it makes Daiyu "beautiful" to the extreme, on the other hand, it makes her "miserable" and die! As a result, a long-lasting tragic figure spanning countless time and space-"beautiful Lin Daiyu" is now "sculpted" and "alive", which makes people feel sad and unforgettable for her.
Two:
Looking at the red chamber, many people don't like Daiyu, and such a temper is hard for anyone to accept. Personally, I think that if there are such people around me, I am afraid I will stay away from them. Many people say that Daiyu is not real and should not appear in real life, but I like Xichun and Lin Daiyu. What I like is her truth and her imperfection. Rather than saying that Daiyu should not be in real life, she should not be in such an environment, contrary to Baochai, so Baochai can protect herself and win, so Daiyu's ending must be death, because she doesn't belong to that world at all, and the whole ending is the most perfect for her. I greatly despise the affectation and shyness of the little girl and get rid of the excessive femininity of Daiyu. I really appreciate her frankness and hit the nail on the head. Even in the modern era of freedom of speech, how many people dare to ignore the outspoken opinions of others and how many people have the same words! In my eyes, the posture of Daiyu's little daughter is much more pleasing to the eye than Baochai's generous but calculating posture.
Baochai Dai's love triangle is an eternal topic in A Dream of Red Mansions. I always think that love is beyond others' control. Like is like, love is love, not affected by other external factors. Although she is extremely disgusted with Baoyu's playboy, which is probably a bad habit of men, he is also infatuated with Sister Lin. Although she loves each other, no one can replace Daiyu. From this point of view, Baochai has no chance of winning. There is also a "deputy Baochai" who attacks people, regardless of Daiyu's temperament. Even if Daiyu can become a person like Baochai, the result of a dozen or two is unknown. I just hope that there will be no other elements in the field of love.
I like watching a dream of red mansions. Many people may say that I like reading online novels, but I really just watch to kill time. A dream of red mansions, Cao Xueqin, eternity in my heart ~ ~
