Eighty Red Theory: Fei Pozi

Mrs. Fei is Mrs. Xing's companion, and there is a scene of right and wrong in the seventy-first flash of "Dream of Red Mansions". Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info introduced her in the book, "At first, it was also prosperous, but because Jia's mother has not made much of Xingxing Mrs. Xing recently, even the people here have reduced their prestige." There are some decent people on Fan Jiazheng's side, but everyone on the other side is looking at each other. This Mrs. Fei often relies on the old and sells the old, relying on Mrs. Xing, often eating some wine, and scolding and resenting in her mouth."

A well-known theory in modern science is the butterfly effect. This theory emphasizes the connection and causal relationship between things, and the famous example is the story of the horseshoe and the destruction of the state, and there is a similar case in the ancient Chinese classic "Lü's Spring and Autumn Chawei". The rights and wrongs of Fei Pozi can be analyzed from the butterfly effect.

The cause of this incident is Jia's mother's birthday, Ningguofu You's "hospitality during the day, and rest in the Li room in the garden at night", this day "a road to the garden, only to see that the main gate of the garden and the corner doors are still not closed", the woman who called the maid urging the class caused a series of tongues, and the reader will not narrate the book later. In short, it led to a series of commotions within Jiafu, and the whole thing showed a typical butterfly effect. This is the derivation of events.

If you analyze it from the sociology of events, then you can first look at how to evaluate it?

Judging from the evaluation of her position, Cao Xueqin only looks at the strength and does not think about the position. Through this matter, Cao Xueqin stood in the position of the high-level of Jiafu, and took the position of Sister Feng and Jia's mother as the standard, refuting Mrs. Xing and hating Mrs. Fei and others; In other words, Cao Xueqin stood on the standpoint of the ruling class and criticized the working class at the bottom. From the perspective of good and evil in human nature, Cao Xueqin's judgment of good and evil is also very directive, and almost all the lower labor classes in Jiafu are the objects of his criticism.

Of course, it is necessary to see that people are different from animals, people have active social attributes, and there is a difference between people who are virtuous or foolish or diligent or lazy. There is no good or evil in the objective existence of the essence of humanity, but there is good and evil in the subjective existence of the essence of human nature. Because humans and animals want to survive, objectively, people's behavior to survive defines good and evil as it does define whether people's behavior has positive significance. However, if people have human nature in society, then there will inevitably be a distinction between good and evil in the subjective behavior of social relations, because there is a difference between human behavior that is beneficial to others and that is not beneficial to others or even unfavorable to others. And people must first exist for themselves, so sometimes the sadness of life when it shows the struggle for survival is that it always wants to get something by relying on animal instincts, and people are inevitably always calculating the rate of return. This makes the personal attributes of a person always less than the social attributes. Because morality prevails in the collective nature of social existence, people are required to give or dedicate socially at the social level.

In a class society, there is a contradiction between the toiling class and the laboring class. Workers and employers will blame each other: workers will say, "I created your life", employers will say, "You have to work hard to get paid", and this is either a matter of law or attitude. If you stand on the side of hard work, then they will inevitably have negative negative evaluations of laborers who have the absolute power to evaluate books, so they will say that Aunt Zhao, Wang Shanbao's family, Fei Pozi, Xia Pozi, and Qin Xian's family are all sinister and foolish parties. Standing in the labor class, we can see that there is a distinction between assigned labor and acquired labor, and this distinction exists in many areas of society. For example, it may be a burden for a person to move one thing, but if a hundred things are personal and he wants to move away at one time, he will not feel tired, but the order of events at that time may be very poor. For the common people, this is the root of the so-called "big wave of sand", where those who advance and those who are eliminated are stratified in various parts of society.

It is worth noting that these are the products of ancient society, and in modern society, the "mass line" is the mainstream direction, and the industrious wisdom is the pointing word of the people. And it is interesting that there is a "lazy man theory" in modern creative labor, which means that the more well prepared, the higher the success of things. Industrious people can use the number of people to make things more thoughtful and less flawed, but it takes time to create wisdom. In literature, if there is only an angle and a stance, there will be no tolerance and thus no development, and in science, there will be no creation if there is only a standard and the possibilities of various things are not exhausted. Just as ideals and lack of human hearts are two different things, research and self-righteousness are also two different things; Knowledge is endlessly evolving, and making an argument in research is not "self-righteous" but provides a possibility for the future, and every knowledge that is born will be replaced by later knowledge and lowered in a lower level; This makes knowledge both objective and subjective, eternal and temporary, and without acknowledging the truth side of knowledge, it is impossible to study and study, and without acknowledging the temporary nature of knowledge, it is impossible to grow and develop.

If you look at Fei Pozi and her personal thinking and the things around her in this way, then this character is also very interesting.
