The Girl in Seeds of Love
Cui Yingying is as beautiful as the girl in Seeds of Love. The author of The West Chamber took pains to describe Yingying's appearance again and again from different angles. Yingying's beautiful face is vividly displayed in front of our eyes through Zhang Sheng's eyes in the first part of The West Chamber: "I have seen thousands of things, and it seems that I have never seen such a happy mother. It is dazzling, speechless and my soul shines for a long time." She flirted with everyone there, held her shoulder and smiled only at the flowers ... Before speaking, she was shy, cherry red and spoke in a dialect for a long time. Like the sound of songbirds. One poor step. The waist of the dance is delicate, so graceful and charming, like a weeping willow before the evening breeze. "
Every time she appeared, she wore different clothes and jewelry. Moreover, before I met him, I heard his voice, "I heard the sound of the corner door, and the wind smelled like clothes." When she left, she left a faint fragrance: "The blue musk deer is still there, and the ring is fading away."
It was Yingying's charm that made Zhang Shengqi love her, and made constant efforts to pursue it, which laid the foundation for the later story development. Imagine that if Yingying is a deadly girl, it is estimated that Zhang Sheng will not look at her, avoid her or miss the Pujiu Temple. Sun Feihu won't rob her relatives, and there won't be words in the west building.
Yingying, as a young girl, is going through puberty in the development stage of her life. At the same time, she is going through "passionate period" and "dangerous period". Young people in this period will have many fantasies about their other half, such as what he looks like, what kind of temperament, what kind of education, and what kind of economic conditions. Over time, the object of your fantasy will form a basic outline frame in your mind. If one day you accidentally meet someone similar to your fantasy somewhere, you will have a good impression immediately. So when Yingying saw Zhang Sheng, she couldn't help looking back, and this "change of eyes" directly attracted Zhang Sheng. Then, on a bright spring night, I don't know each other. After listening to Zhang Sheng's signal, I immediately wrote a poem, "Gui Lan has been lonely for a long time and has nothing to do." Those who are expected to sing deserve sympathy. "Show your mind and communicate your feelings.
When the old lady "refused to get married", she was full of bitterness because her mother broke up her marriage, and her ideal was devastated. She repeatedly asked the matchmaker to meet Zhang Sheng. When she learned that Zhang Sheng was thin and handsome, she was really ugly. Don't think about tea and rice, dare not move; I will look forward to it at night, forgetting to eat and sleep. At dusk, I looked at the East Wall with tears in my eyes. Patients will sweat a little if they want to be safe. "At that time, my heart was really hard, so I immediately wrote a letter to the matchmaker and sent it." On the west wing of the moon, the windward door was half open, and the partition wall moved. It was suspected to be a jade man. "Dating Zhang Sheng. believe ...
These behaviors are completely different from Yingying's usual composure and reserve, which shows that she is really in love as a girl.
(B) a good family bound by feudal ethics
Cui Yingying was born in a noble family. She is the daughter of Guo Xiang. I have been influenced by feudal culture and ethics since I was a child, not to mention the discipline of the old lady who is known as "serious in managing the family and indifferent in operation".
From the conversation between Yingying and the matchmaker, we can see how strict the old lady is with her. "Matchmaker, I'll sleep on the pillow for a while." But when I go out, I don't leave my body like a shadow. "The matchmaker said," don't be a matchmaker. The old lady asked me to follow my sister. " Yingying said, "My mother is so boring! These times are always looking for people; Xiao Xiangmei waited on Qin Qin, but the old lady kept her mouth shut for fear that my daughter would lose her temper. "It is in this environment that Yingying has become a well-informed, dignified and calm lady. It is not difficult to imagine that such a lady will have many obstacles and long pursuit of freedom of marriage if she wants to break through the firm bondage of feudal ethics.
When Yingying "flicked the note, pressed the cosmetic box, opened the lid and looked at it attentively, so as not to upset her", it showed that her yearning for Zhang Sheng was urgent. But on second thought, she felt something was wrong. This letter will not come by itself, nor will Zhang Sheng send it. If the matchmaker brought it, then she must know that Zhang Sheng wrote a letter. As an orthodox lady, how can she have such an outrageous behavior, so she flew into a rage: "Little bitch, where did this thing come from?" I am a young lady from Guo Xiang. Who dares to tease me with this simple post? How many times have I seen such a thing? Tell madam to shoot you little bitch and cut it off. "
Yingying read the letter, first surprised, then angry, furious and suddenly changed. Yingying's sudden change of heart makes sense. Freud, an Austrian psychologist, divided human consciousness into three parts: "ID" is the most primitive part, which is composed of some innate impulses, desires or energy, and acts according to the "pleasure principle"; "Ego" is formed under the influence of external environment after birth, following the "realistic principle": "superego" is formed by individuals internalizing social moral concepts under the influence of social moral norms, especially under the discipline of parents, and acting according to "moral principles". In Yingying's heart, that is, her "ID", she especially likes Zhang Sheng's letters and is particularly eager to know about Zhang Sheng's situation. But "superego", that is, the moral level now restricts her. Thousands of years of solid feudal ethics and social morality prevented her from reading this letter. In order to defend this, she was too abrupt and furious with the matchmaker. Zhang Yingying was very sad when she was lovesick recently. She wrote a letter, "The moon is on the west wing, the windward door is half open, and the partition wall is moving", and she took the initiative to invite. But when Zhang Sheng really climbed over the wall and couldn't wait to hug Yingying, Yingying suddenly became annoyed: "Zhang Sheng, what kind of person are you! I am burning incense here, and you are here for no reason; If your wife hears about it, what's the point! " Yingying changed her mind.
There is no doubt that Yingying loves Zhang Sheng and is sincere about Zhang Sheng, but after all, she is a good family. Dear daughter should protect her dignity and face as Miss Guo Xiang under any circumstances. Jung, a western psychologist, said, "Everyone has a personality mask to show a person's public social identity. In our common saying, it is the same as "What song is sung on the mountain". If a person attends a very important meeting, he will not dress casually, but will be solemn. On the contrary, if he is at leisure, he won't make himself into a suit and tie.
Personality mask is the product of real society, and it is the shaping of people by certain economic foundation, political system, law, morality and customs. Yingying's change of heart is caused by this reason. Although her love for Zhang Sheng is sincere and voluntary, she must keep her dignity anyway. How much she wants to have a tryst with Zhang Sheng as soon as possible, but she is afraid to cross the "thunder pool" and steal the forbidden fruit. Because "chastity" and "chastity" are the most important standards to measure a woman's quality in feudal ethical code society, if a woman has a relationship with a person, she will rely on him all her life. If the man changes his mind and the woman is abandoned, there will be no happiness in this life. Although Yingying's family is good, she can't guarantee that she won't be abandoned, so she told Zhang Sheng her worries at that time. "My daughter's body, once abandoned. This institution was entrusted to take the first step. Not letting him give up every day makes my head sigh. " When seeing Yingying off at the Changting Pavilion, Yingying was most worried about "leaving his wife and divorcing her" rather than "not living well", so when Zhang Sheng asked Yingying what she had to say, Yingying repeatedly told Zhang Sheng; "You take your Moon Hee husband is not neat, but I am afraid that you will stop your wife from remarrying. I don't want to' spring fish and geese have no news'! I have a letter to send here in qingluan, but you don't want to go back to the gold list. "
Yingying's love, Zhang Sheng's repetition, hesitation and duplicity show that women in feudal society have low status and no sense of security in marriage. Besides, Yingying is a famous family deeply educated and edified by feudal ethics, and her status, status and influence should be taken into account in every move.
Wang Shifu's Cui Yingying is not only a beautiful, enthusiastic and young girl in The Seeds of Love, but also as lovely as a clear spring. However, this lovely spring water flows out from the high-rise Guo Xiang Mansion, so it is inevitably accompanied by a thick sediment of feudal ethics.
