Chapter 718: The First Strange Book in the World

In fact, not only these literary critics, but also many friends who have studied literature, they have already noticed the work of Jin Zhumei. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Note that it is not sealed because of the Golden Bottle Plum, but because the work of the Golden Bottle Plum is too valuable for research.

Some researchers of literary works have written a series of interpretations of the Golden Bottle Plum on the day of the Golden Bottle Plum being sealed.

"Today, I learned that Jin Zhumei was banned by the state, and I don't have any opinion on this. If you talk about the erotic depiction in the Golden Vase Plum, there is indeed a reason to ban it. However, if you throw away the erotic part of the Golden Bottle Plum, then the Golden Bottle Plum is still a classic. In my opinion, the eroticism in the golden bottle is just a very short part of him, and he can't be regarded as a little eroticism. If he really wants to count, then he should be counted as a romance novel. The world in this is a work with the theme of family life. This book not only depicts a series of outstanding characters, but also reflects the political and social phenomena of the Song Dynasty at that time. From this point of view, we can know the true meaning of this work. ”

A work worth studying is a good work.

The most important reason why the four famous works are masterpieces, in addition to the fact that they are well written, is worthy of the study of many literary authors.

Just like the Romance of the Warring States Period, one of the four famous novels in this world, although he is a novel, because he describes the Warring States, he can interpret the history of the Warring States from the other side. At the same time, because it depicts the emperors in the Warring States Romance, through the Warring States Romance, we can have a more comprehensive understanding of the political environment of the entire Warring States period at that time.

Therefore, since the Romance of the Warring States Period has been handed down, after hundreds of years of countless genius interpretations, it can still interpret various meanings.

And now, this Golden Vase Plum seems to have such signs.

The author also said in the article: Jin Zhumei describes the history of the development and decline of Ximenqing's life and family, with Ximenqing as the center, on the one hand, it reflects the market society, and on the other hand, it describes the officialdom environment, showing a big era background, exposing the ugliness and dirtiness of the world. On the one hand, Ximenqing relied on his economy to make friends with the powerful and bribed him to buy his political status. On the other hand, he relied on the political status bought with money, corrupted and bent the law, did whatever he wanted, and finally became a bully who combined wealth, power, and power. Through Ximenqing's social activities, Jin Zhumei also reflected the reality that from the court to the market, the government and powerful colluded with each other, and the common people did all kinds of evil, which is a work with deep irony.

In addition, Jin Zhumei has also successfully portrayed a person with real social life. Whether it is Ximenqing or Pan Jinlian, they are not the same as the characters in many works, of course they cannot be called good people, in fact, there are several good people in our society. Therefore, the characters in this novel seem to be extremely evil, but they are extremely real. We don't have to ask, don't we have such people in reality?

Of course, the interpretation of the golden plum does not stop there.

Even, there are some expert-level scholars who have entered the activities of in-depth study of the golden plum.

Their research is no different from that of some individual literary authors, and their research is a complete and systematic study of all aspects.

"Han Jin", a professor from the Department of Chinese at Nanxiang University, wrote an interpretation of Jin Ping Mei with nearly 20,000 words, and made a complete and detailed study of Jin Ping Mei from all aspects. According to the article, the first and most profound significance of the golden bottle plum belongs to exposing official corruption. "Han Jin" said that there was a sentence written in the golden vase. Wealth must be obtained because of jian, and the fame is all due to Deng Tongcheng, and the "Deng Tong" here is synonymous with money. In the book, all kinds of plots can be said to be vividly reflected in this sentence.

In society, there is an incomparably serious case of buying and selling official positions, and corruption and bribery are extremely serious. Whether you are promoted or transferred, you have to rely on money to do it. For example, Ximen Qing bribed the imperial master to investigate the capital through heavy money, and he obtained the position of punishing a thousand households. At the same time, officials at all levels also use their power to accumulate money, and the means they use are no different from those we do today. Cai Jing celebrated his birthday, and Ximen Qing went to give gifts. When I was walking on the road, I met a group of friends who went to the capital, and the scene was huge, just like the number of people shopping in the pedestrian street. Ximenqing asked, where are you going? A group of people all said that they were going to celebrate Cai Jing's birthday. Asked Ximenqing rhetorically, and asked Ximenqing what he was going to do, Ximenqing also replied, I also went there.

Corrupt officials will naturally collude with the local tyrants at that time. Ximenqing has done so many bad things, why is there nothing at all. Not only is it okay, but on the contrary, it is rising step by step, isn't it strange. But if you look closely, it's not surprising at all. In the case of Miao Qing's murder for money, the presiding judge accepted 100 taels of silver from the main offender, Miao Qing, and the accomplice had no money, so the accomplice was sentenced to death. In the end, because the main culprit spent 100 taels of silver, he was given a lenient trial, or even opened the net.

That's where money comes in.

Of course, if Mr. Fanchen's Golden Bottle Plum is just a satirical criticism, then you are underestimating Mr. Fanchen. In the Golden Bottle, the novel truly reflects the commercial economy of the city in the late Ming Dynasty through a large number of life and social situations. Why explain the end, not the Song Dynasty. In fact, the story of the Golden Bottle Plum is about the Song Dynasty, but if you look closely, you will find that the real social situation and humanity in the story are not the Song Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty. As for why Mr. Fanchen wrote this, the author has no way of knowing for the time being. However, let's not consider this reason for the time being, the commercial economy of the late Ming Dynasty is described in great detail in the novel.

For example, in the book in Linqing City, where merchants come and go, and where vehicles converge, there are 32 flower willow alleys and 72 orchestra buildings. In the 92nd round, Ximen Qingzi inherited his father's business and opened a crude medicine shop in front of Qinghe County. Later, the capital of his crude medicine shop was 5,000 taels of silver, and he opened a printing shop to pawn clothes, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings. In the 20th time, he spent 450 taels of silver to plate the silk thread brought by the Huzhou merchant He Guanren, and used the spare room in the Lion Street in the lively city to open a velvet shop, and the business was excellent: not only distributed the velvet yarn from other places, but also hired people to dye silk, engage in processing, and sell dozens of taels of silver a day, no problem......

These descriptions of the commercial environment and economy not only reproduce the social and commercial economy of the Ming Dynasty very realistically, but more powerfully, if you don't have an incomparably detailed study of history, you can't write it at all.

In addition, the book is also extremely critical of the wife and concubine system in the society of the time......

sprinkled with joy, an interpretation of nearly 20,000 words.

However, if you can't read the above, that's okay.

Han Jin, a professor at Nanxiang University, also wrote a very clear and straightforward evaluation at the end.

The Golden Plum Bottle is a great work, but the erotic feelings written in the text challenge the nerves of the entire Chinese people. If we can face up to the problem that we have not dared to face for more than 5,000 years, "sex". Then, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is "the first strange book in the world".
