Eighty Red Theory: Conspiracy or Revolutionary Aunt Zhao (2)

Why do you say that, or why did that era create a character like Aunt Zhao? Aunt Zhao can be said to be a representative of the working people in the old society. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIn the old society, the evaluation of people's labor was not based on the interests of the working people but on the exploiting class, which led to the one-sided concentration of social wealth, and in the feudal society, it was the concentration and annexation represented by land. As a result, the dynastic succession under the long-term feudal system was formed, and the peasant revolution played a major role in this process. This peasant revolution caused great shock and destruction to the society in order to eliminate the concentration of wealth at that time, and when the new dynasty was established, the society began to progress in the cycle. These advances are formed by social civilization and cultural creation.

Many people will see the strange phenomenon in the social relations between the landlords and the peasants in the feudal society, and after the peasant revolution overthrew the old dynasty, the peasants did not establish a way of ruling on behalf of their own interests, but returned to the old mode of exploitation, which reflected the limitations of the peasant class, which was unable to break through its own social relations of production. The peasant class does not have its own theory of revolutionary generation to lead itself in order to build a good society of its own; The peasants have their own knowledge and culture, but they are not included in the upper echelons of society, and thus cannot build their own future; The peasants belong to the managed in social production and always need a stratum to manage themselves, and the reason for this is the low level of representation of the social productive forces.

In ancient times, there was also the vulgar "success and defeat of the king", Chen Sheng once said in the last years of the Qin Dynasty: "Gou is rich and noble, and there is no forget"; And Liu Xiu, the Guangwu Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty with an aristocratic background, once said: "Shi Eun should be regarded as the ruling Jinwu, and marrying a wife should be Yin Lihua"; At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Bei of the Han Dynasty once said: "I am the Son of Heaven, and I should take this car cover"; The life goal of these peasant revolt leaders rose one by one to become a member of the ruling class or to become the supreme ruler of the emperor, which was the footsteps of the successful. Like those who failed, such as Xiang Yu once said: "He can take his place", such as Huang Chao once wrote a poem: "If I am the Green Emperor in his year", these rebel leaders slaughtered cities and burned households everywhere, exterminated hundreds of thousands of people, and destroyed countless cities and social wealth; The reason for this is that the peasant class under the long-term unequal system is full of anger, which has transformed into a destructive effect on the old social system in the peasant revolution, which is of progressive significance from a historical point of view. However, after they completed the destruction of the ruler's "paradise", they did not have their own vision of a better society, so they could not avoid transforming into a rogue-like existence and eventually being wiped out.

When you look at Aunt Zhao again from this perspective, you will find that many accidents on her body are understandable. Such a figure is unforgivable in Cao Xueqin's view, a representative of literary ugliness in the eyes of the people, and from a sociological point of view, she, like thousands of other laborers in society, destroys the ruling foundations of the old society in a way that can be used, and finally transforms it into a social storm of peasant revolution. It is also necessary to see a phenomenon that in the old era, the rulers of the East tended to combine with theocracy and unite man and God, while the rulers of the West were combined with theocracy but separated from man and God; The "divine right of kings" in the East is because "the emperor is the Son of Heaven" and the emperor is a god, while in the West, the "divine right of kings" means that the king of China is a human being, and even the pope is also a servant of God. Therefore, in "Dream of Red Mansions", Baoyu is either a waiter of the Red Flawed Palace Shenying or a mending stone, both of which are gods; In the West, the atmosphere of equality and democracy is much stronger because of the separation of man and God, and the revolutionary color is also different from that in the East. This may be due to the loss of position since the Han Dynasty literati began to glorify the rulers, and the lesson of history is that the evaluation of life cannot be completed before deeds, otherwise it will form a religious or mechanical view of history.
