Because many people have studied her, I think this comment is quite pertinent. It can be summarized into ten words: spicy, strong, malicious, knowledgeable, greedy, splashing, jealous, lewd, slippery and argumentative.
Specifically: Xifeng's personality is extremely complicated. Besides the above ten points, she has other characteristics. Xifeng's personality is a combination of many factors. It is not just a "double combination", but a "multiple combination". Although her personality is complex, there is a core, and the core of her personality is "spicy", "strong" and "greedy".
This is much more specific:
"Spicy" means spicy. In the third time of A Dream of Red Mansions, Lin Daiyu entered Jia's house. After meeting with Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang Xing and several sisters, she heard someone laughing in the backyard and said, "I'm late. I didn't welcome a distant guest!" " (According to The People's Literature Publishing House 1983, The Chinese Academy of Art edited Cao Xueqin and Gao E's Dream of Red Mansions. All quotations in the future are from this book, and the title is not otherwise noted, only a few times. Daiyu Nan Han said, "These people hold their breath and are so respectful and strict. Who is this person, so rude? " Daiyu saw that this beautifully dressed beauty was surrounded by maids, and she didn't know what to call it. "You don't know her," said Grandmother Jia. She is a famous villain here. She is called' Chili' in the south of China, so you call her' Feng Chili'. " When Mrs Jia introduced Xifeng to Daiyu, she used funny words such as "ruffian", "pepper" and "phoenix pepper". Although this is a joke, it is the dominant side of Xifeng's character.
Although Xifeng is a woman, her personality is like a man, because she was "brought up by men since childhood". Once, Xifeng asked Xiaohong, a girl, to do something. Xiaohong did a good job, especially speaking cleanly, and was praised by Xifeng. Xifeng praised Xiaohong in front of Li Wan: "Good boy, you can't say anything well. Don't be like them. " ..... They must have stretched a sentence for two or three paragraphs, talking like a book, holding their breath, whining, I'm in a hurry. They don't know! At first, we were the same, so I asked her: Is it necessary to disguise the buzz of mosquitoes as beautiful women? "Li Hongcai said with a smile," It's good to be like you. " This shows that Feng opposes girls' deliberate affectation, just as Li Wan said that he is like a "ruffian", which shows that Feng has a manly temperament. "Spicy" is an innate character. I think the word "spicy" can develop into positive and negative aspects after the development of the day after tomorrow. The positive side can develop into enthusiasm, enterprising, courage and boldness. The negative side can develop into malice and malice. For example, when Feng wrote for the third time that Daiyu entered Jia's house, he praised Daiyu in front of Jia's mother. First she praised Daiyu for her beauty, and then she pretended to cry for her aunt's death. Hearing this, the grandmother turned grief into joy, asked Daiyu some trivial matters in many ways, asked someone to prepare a house for Daiyu, and said that she had already prepared clothes for Daiyu ... Can you say that Feng's series of wonderful performances are like acting? Xifeng is also a courageous person. She is very harsh and even cruel to her servants ... these are all "spicy" manifestations. On her body, there are two sides of "spicy". Personally, I think there seem to be more positive aspects.
"Strong", Xifeng is stronger in life, afraid of being criticized. Because she was busy all day, she refused to take care of her body and lost care, so she had a miscarriage. "At home in January, I can't be a director. Two or three doctors take medicine every day. Feng thinks she is strong. Although she doesn't go out, she plans to calculate. When she thought of something, she told Pinger to go back to Mrs. Wang to persuade her. He just won't listen. " "Who knows that feng was born with insufficient qi and blood, and she was young and didn't know how to maintain it. She has been fighting for strength and wisdom all her life, and her heart is even more scarce. So although she had a miscarriage, she was really losing money. After a month, she became red again. " (Back to the 55th) Here, "self-improvement" and "fighting for strength and wisdom" really sum up another major aspect of Xifeng's personality. On one occasion, Pinger told Yuanyang that Xifeng was seriously ill. In Yuanyang's words, it is called "blood collapse", which is a major symptom of women. Pinger said that Feng had this disease. "I don't think so, but when I asked him how he felt about living in vain, he got angry and said I called him sick. Give me a break, I'll still make three trips a day, stop seeing through it and keep fit. " (Seventy-two times) Although she was seriously ill, she kept on working. Others said that she was ill, and she asked her with concern that she was unhappy. More "strong" "The first Xifeng has many things to do, others may steal peace, and he can't get away alone; Two skills? Be strong, refuse criticism, and only earn the same money as people who have nothing to do. " (the first time 19). Many times in A Dream of Red Mansions, Xifeng was described as "struggling" with her illness, which aggravated her illness. Even if you can't get out of bed, you should ask Lady Jia and Lady Wang through Pinger. I think "being strong" and "trying to be brave" are another important aspect of Xifeng's personality.
"Tough", Xifeng is notoriously cruel. Li Wan once told Pinger that Xifeng was a king of Chu who tried her best. Without Pinger's assistance, it is impossible. Pinger said with a smile, "I accompanied four maids first, and then I died, leaving only a lonely ghost." (Back to the 39th) It can be seen that Xifeng was cruel to the maids around her. Grandmother Jia celebrated Xifeng's birthday. Xi-feng drank some more wine and went back to her room to sleep. She saw a little girl fly away. She immediately stopped the girl and told her to kneel down and drink Pinger: "Call the two pages of the second door, take a rope whip and beat the little hoof to pieces. There is no master in their eyes!" ..... At some point, he raised his hand and slapped him in the face. The little girl who hit him was planted, her face was hit here again, and her cheeks were swollen and purple ... (The 44th time) The little boy Xing Er said to Sister You, "This is a pot of fire, but it is a knife in the dark, with a smile on her head and a stumbling block at her feet." (Sixty-fifth time) ... Xifeng bribed Zhang Hua, encouraged him to complain, and then sent Wang Er to find a way to kill Zhang Hua, and so on. However, it is generally believed that her vicious behavior is mainly due to two things: killing Jia Rui and killing Second Sister You. Whether Xifeng should take full responsibility for these two things needs careful analysis.
Let's start with Gary's death. Jia Rui flirted with his sister-in-law Xifeng first, and Xifeng cleverly avoided it. Later, he came to the door to flirt, and was deceived by Xi-feng to make him change. However, he was deeply in love and could not extricate himself from confession. But came to the door again and finally committed suicide. It must be pointed out that it was Jia Ruixian who molested Xifeng, who was innocent. Secondly, Xifeng wanted him to repent, but he was stubborn and hurt unrequited love. What does it have to do with Xifeng? Xi- feng doesn't need to deal with it. Is she allowed to flirt and be insulted? In that case, what will happen to Xifeng?
About the death of second sister you. Xifeng was at the mercy of Second Sister You and even tortured to death. She is guilty. But it should be noted that this is her last resort. Imagine if this second sister, who is more handsome than her, will pose a great threat to her once she has a boy, especially if she is replaced. How can she tolerate such a dangerous person sleeping beside her? So it is designed to be removable. First of all, Xifeng is guilty of the death of Second Sister You. Secondly, I think we should ask: Who is the biggest culprit? I think the unreasonable feudal concubinage system is the biggest culprit. I'm afraid this is the author's profound meaning.
"Greed" refers to Xifeng's greed for money and wealth. A Dream of Red Mansions depicts her "greed" in a profound and positive way, and depicts her profile and details anytime and anywhere. On the whole, the positive description is mainly manifested in the fact that Jin Ge's unmarried couple's marriage was broken by the "Iron Threshold Temple", but she got 3,200 taels of silver. From then on, Xifeng became more courageous and often did things like collecting money for greed (see the fifteenth time above). Scattered in the book, there are many things that describe Xifeng's greed for money. This can be said to be a small description. Give a few examples. After Zhao Jin, the servant girl of Mrs. Wang, committed suicide by jumping into a well, pretty maid, who earned a month or two, was missing from Mrs. Wang's room. Some ladies-in-waiting and old women tried their best to "pay tribute" to Xi 'an, and she tried her best to find this "nest", which made Xi 'an collect a lot of money (the 36th time).
Feng often spends everyone's monthly money first, and then pays maternity interest, including with Mrs. Wang, which is also several hundred dollars a year (the 39th time). Jia Lian wants to marry Second Sister You. When she learned about it, on the one hand, she tricked Second Sister You into the Grand View Garden, on the other hand, she made a scene in Ningguo Mansion, crying, shouting and cursing, saying that for this matter, she spent five hundred and twenty pieces of silver to run Douchayuan, and you said that she would send five hundred and twenty pieces at once to make up for it. In fact, she only spent 220 yuan, from which she cheated 320 yuan (the 68th time). Although she and Jia Lian are husband and wife, they are also strange money relations in strange bedfellows. On one occasion, Jia Lian borrowed Yuanyang's gold and silver utensils as the old lady's and used them as silver in case of emergency. Yuanyang almost agreed. Jia Lian begged her to talk to Yuanyang again, and it really succeeded. But she asked Yingjia for this? He asked for a profit of 220 yuan, but he didn't intercede without money, which made Jia Lian angry enough (the seventy-fourth time). Jia's house was copied, and two boxes of title deeds and tickets were also copied. These are all illegal acts of profiteering, obviously by Feng (115th). Greedy for money and hurting others is another important part of Xifeng's character.
"Jealousy" refers to mutual jealousy among women. In feudal society, wives were strict with their husbands, fearing that they would have an affair and be disloyal to themselves. Once her husband has an affair, she will be jealous of his mistress. Xifeng was so strict with Jia Lian that she didn't even allow Jia Lian to talk to women. When Jia Lian went out, he could not help worrying. She said to the page who came back, take good care of Mr. Zhong and don't let him know an asshole woman. It can be seen that she is afraid that Jia Lian will cheat. Jia Lian is a boy floating on the waves. I'm used to sleeping on flowers and willows. Once, because Qiaojie was going to have acne, Xifeng drove Jia Lian out for a few days. Jia Lian stayed alone, unwilling to be lonely, so he hooked up with many girls. Jia Lian and Pinger covered for him and said, "You don't have to be afraid of him. He didn't recognize me until I was angry and smashed my jealousy! He protected me like a thief. He only allows him to talk to men, not me to talk to women. When I get a little closer to a woman, he suspects that he is not afraid of my jealousy regardless of his brother-in-law's nephew, big or small. " (The 21st time) When Xing Er introduced Second Sister You, she said, "It's not because the younger one drank wine and talked nonsense that Grandma was polite. He saw that grandma was more beautiful than him ... how could he give up? " He is a vinegar jar, he is a vinegar jar and a vinegar urn. If the maids take one more look, he can beat a rotten sheep's head in front of me. ..... "(back to the sixty-fifth)
"Yin" means lewdness and debauchery. She is also bohemian in sexual life. As soon as Granny Liu entered the mansion, she saw Jia Rong smirking at Feng, who was particularly close to him, suggesting an affair between Feng and Jia Rong. Jia Rong and Jia Qiang not only participated in the planning, but also acted as Feng's thugs. These descriptions all illustrate the abnormal relationship between Feng and Rong Qiang. "Send palace flowers to Jia Lian to play Feng Jie", which describes Feng Jie's lewdness during the day ... Mrs. Wang is holding an embroidered spring bag picked up by a silly elder sister? The first thing that comes to mind is Xifeng. Even Mrs. Wang suspects Xifeng, which shows that Xifeng's sexual life is really lewd.
Vomiting ",the so-called" throwing ",is the" throwing "of" bitching and cursing the street ",which is" unreasonable ".It is unreasonable for Feng to reprimand Aunt Zhao and often hit the maid. For Jia Lian and Pinger, sometimes they make a scene. The most typical performance of "splashing" is that Xifeng made a scene in Ningguo House. When she earned Second Sister You into the Grand View Garden, she immediately came to Ningguo Mansion. Jia Zhen hid out. Feng spat at You's face and said, "Look, what are you doing?" ... you lost your heart in phlegm, and your fat left your head ... As she spoke, she cried and pulled You Shi. As long as he went to see the official, Jia Rong was anxious to kneel down to meet him. All the aunts and daughters-in-law knelt down in the dark to persuade Xi-feng to calm down. She still cursed: "Lightning strikes, and five ghosts break their brains." I don't know how high the sky is and how thick the ground is ... "Jia Rong was scolded and hit his mouth many times. Feng threw himself into You's arms, crying ... cursing and crying ... Later, she burst into tears and began to cry about her ancestors and parents, and tried to commit suicide. She kneaded You Shi into dough, and her clothes were full of snot and tears ... You Shi had nothing to say but scold Jia Rong. At this time, Feng cried, touched You's face with her hand and said, "Are you crazy? Do you have eggplant in your mouth, or will they chew it for you? (Back to the sixty-eighth) When readers read this, who doesn't get angry at Xifeng's importune and foul language? It can be said that compared with her, Xifeng's "splashing" at all times and all over the world is dwarfed, and she has developed "splashing" to the peak.
"Running away", Xifeng got "samadhi". She thought that in order to keep the status of "housekeeper", she must please the grandmother and Mrs. Wang. If she can't get the favor of her ancestors, she can't keep her position. To this end, she has a principle, called look into the eyes of the old lady. You Shi once asked Xifeng how to celebrate your birthday. Xi Xifeng said, "Look at the old lady's eyes, and it's over." (The 43rd time) Feng's every move was based on this principle, which won the favor of the old lady. Granny Liu went into the mansion and met Grandmother Jia, who was very fond of Granny Liu? Interesting. She wants Granny Liu to tell some ancient stories. When Xifeng saw this, she followed the old lady's wishes and kept Granny Liu. She was teased by the girls headed by her, which brought endless joy to the old lady. Sure enough, Feng won the favor of Grandmother Jia (the 39th time). Besides, Feng also knows the old lady's temperament, that is, she likes flattery best. Therefore, she often flatters the old lady. Xi-feng also often sends something that Grandmother Jia likes to eat. To please grandma. On one occasion, Mrs. Jia occasionally felt cold, but it was not serious. Xifeng specially made a bowl of wild chicken soup for Mrs. Jia ... and sent two pieces of meat ... Mrs. Jia ate so well that she kept praising her "filial piety" to everyone. On another occasion, Jia strongly criticized the stories told by two female ancestors, thinking that they were formulaic and conceptual and didn't make much sense. Then Xifeng praised Jia face to face, saying that Jia told a lie story with humorous language, which made Jia's two daughters laugh. The two daughters repeatedly praised her for "talking". Feng said that she entertained her relatives by borrowing Gu Lai's "playing spot clothes" (for the above quotation, see chapters 43 and 54). Because of the old lady's trust, although some people opposed her, such as Mrs. Xing and Aunt Zhao, because of the old lady's big backer, Feng was still able to firmly hold the power and was not excluded. The reason why she was appreciated by Jia Mu was to "run away".
"Debate" is eloquence. Everyone admires Xifeng's eloquence. Leng Zixing said she was eloquent (for the second time). Zhou Rui's family said: If you bet again, ten talking men will say that he can't pass (the sixth time). Grandmother Jia and others were impressed by her words many times and praised them again and again: "Don't pull the monkey's mouth." "It's really grandma Zhen's mouth that is annoying, but it's not like it." "Good mouth". All these show that her eloquence has conquered everyone. Xifeng can talk, and the art of speaking is very high. First, distinguish the objects, say some flattering words to Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang, who dominate her fate, and climb up the pole (the fiftieth time). Use this to "sell fame and fame". Second, be considerate and take special care of people you like, such as Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang. For example, when Xifeng first came to Jia's house, in front of Jia's mother, she asked her how to get warm and cold, and every sentence was moved. Aaron's mother was ill, so Aaron went home to visit. Before leaving, she made many exhortations with sincere words. Her warm and considerate words and unusual manners deeply touched everyone (5 1 back). The reason why she holds xiren so high is that xiren is a favorite of Mrs Jia and Mrs Wang. Third, for the person she doesn't like, she can completely cover up her true feelings with rhetoric and hypocrisy, so that the other person can't understand her true intentions. It is possible to mistake her "bad intentions" for "sincerity". For example, when she tricked Second Sister You into entering the Grand View Garden, what she said to Second Sister You was really "sincere" and "like crying". In fact, the beautiful words were full of murder. Xifeng has such a skill that she can speak impromptu without preparation and make you laugh. Once, she played cards with Jia Mu, Aunt Xue and Yuanyang. In order to make Jia Mu happy, she deliberately took out two cakes that Jia Mu needed to let Jia Mu win. Then she pretended that the card was lost and wanted to take it back, but the old lady wouldn't let her, which led Aunt Xue to say that she was cheap. At this time, Feng took Aunt Xue, pointed to the wooden box where the old lady put the money, and said with a smile, "Look, menstruation, I don't know how much money I got trapped in that box. This ..... hanging money can't last half an hour, and the money in my head is waving to him. When this crane calls in, there will be no need to play cards, and my ancestors' anger will be calm. I have serious things to do. " Before the words were finished, Jia Mu smiled. Some Pinger, afraid of not having enough money, sent another crane. "Don't put it in front of me," said Xifeng. "Just put it in the old lady's place. It's easy to call in all at once, you don't have to do it twice, and it's also very troublesome to call the money in the box. " Grandmother Jia smiled and spilled the cards all over the table, pointing to Yuanyang and shouting, "Tear his mouth off!" (Chapter 47) Xifeng's speech art is really superb.
"Knowledge" means knowledge and vision. "This institution is too smart." Jia Mu has repeatedly said that she is too clever. Too smart, too smart, not good, may be short-lived (52 times). A dream of red mansions describes her cleverness, one of which is that her opinions are higher than ordinary people. Xiaohong, a person who speaks clearly and does things neatly, was buried as a third-class maid in Yuan, Jealousy, Musk and Qingwen, where she had nothing to do. Seeing that she is better than a maid, Xifeng wants to go out of yuan for her use. Xiaohong was appreciated by Xifeng. Tanchun is also a person that Xifeng admires. Feng said: I don't know any man who didn't want her because he was too modest. He suffered. I don't know any man, but he doesn't pay attention to his humble origin and wants her. That's a man who took advantage of nature (the 55th time)! Xing Xiuyan, she also attaches great importance to it. Facts have proved that the people respected by Xifeng are really rare talents.
