Eighty Red Treatise: Xiangling

Xiangling's original name was Zhen Yinglian, the daughter of Zhen Shiyin, the opening character of "Dream of Red Mansions", who became the maid of the Xue family who followed into Jiafu and changed her name to Xiangling because of her rough life. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Generally speaking, the character of Zhen Shiyin is according to Cao Xueqin's personal fate in the second half of his life, and from the existing historical materials, the similarity between these two real or virtual characters is more than half, so the chance can be ruled out, and it is self-evident to deliberately create a character like Zhen Shiyin. Zhen Shiyin's final escape from the world and Baoyu's daily ordination reflect some of Cao Xueqin's inner thoughts, and should promote the development of the plot in the book, which not only contrasts the future direction of the characters, but also compares the differences in literary works. For the authors of realist works, avoiding the halo effect of the protagonist and making the work vulgar is the basic literacy, and the narrative skill is a further cultural ability. "Dream of Red Mansions" arranged for the first time to enter Jiafu to reflect Jia Baoyu, from the book, it seems that the two immortals said "fly in the ointment, good things are more magical" Jia Baoyu is not perfect in the past; The same is true for Zhen Shiyin's daughter entering the Grand View Garden, and she looks at the bitterness and sweetness of the humble characters in the meager characters.

As the name suggests, from Zhen Yinglian to Xiangling, from being a beautiful girl to calling a girl, from "pity" to "Xiangling", Xiangling's life is the epitome of the fate of the tiny ant characters in the general public. People often say "go out to meet nobles", but Xiangling goes out to meet nobles, but there are few kind people, and even most of them are evildoers; As the name suggests, lotus flowers and rhombic flowers grow out of the filthy sludge, which is self-proclaimed to be clean but filthy everywhere is where people show their eyes. Xiangling went out to escape after Huo Qi lost Miss Miss; Grandpa Feng Su never thought of finding his granddaughter; Menzi has known Yinglian since he was a child, but he didn't care about it by his side; Jia Yucun was favored by others, but he did not have the slightest idea of reuniting. These people do not have conventional human feelings.

The first time the vast Dashi's "habitual pampering laughs at you stupidly, Linghuakong is sloppy to the snow" can be compared with the forty-ninth Baochai's "The heart of the fragrant Ling is bitter, and the words of the crazy Xiangyun are many". People can only hear the sound of snowflakes falling in the extremely quiet windless silence, and the sound of falling snow is mostly seen as Xue Pan's abuse of Xiangling, in fact, it can also be seen as Baochai's cultivation and care of Xiangling. Of course, this kind of cultivation care may also have changed the direction of Xiangling's development. In the fourth episode of "Bo Mingnu Meets Bo Minglang, and the gourd monk arbitrarily judges the gourd case", Menzi narrates: "On that day, Feng Gongzi saw each other, exchanged the silver, and the kidnapper was drunk, and he sighed to himself: 'My sins today are full! Later, when he heard Feng Gongzi order to pass through the door in three days, he turned into a sad state again", with Xiangling's words of "now twelve or thirteen years old" and the mentality of worrying about what happened later, she should be a very smart girl. The forty-eighth episode of "Mu Ya Nu Ya Collection of Bitter Poems" Xiangling entered the Grand View Garden and began to learn poetry The basis should be the solid foundation laid by Baochai, Xiangling found Daiyu to learn poetry The reason for interrupting Daiyu's "Peony Pavilion Yanqu Police Fangxin" at the beginning of the twenty-fourth chapter, coupled with the fact that everyone admired Daiyu's poetry, had to have such a move. But Xiangling's personality is not so much the assimilation of Xue Pan as the assimilation of Xue Pan, but the influence of Baochai, which is not intentional by Baochai. Baochai has always been rare to people to spit out their own mantras, but in the world, Confucianism "to politics and chivalry" is not lacking, like the twenty-fourth "drunken King Kong light wealth and righteous heroes" Ni Erxing is named chivalrous, then what Baochai does is the world's hero of Jiafu.

However, it is usually Baochai who treats the Xiangling sisters to each other, but after all, the master and servant have a share, and it was very clear when Baochai and Aunt Xue entered the Grand View Garden in the forty-eighth round of Xiangling and the eightieth time to defend her. Many people think that the maids in Jiafu are servile, but the hierarchical pressure under the feudal social system is much more effective than the modern circus training tigers and bears, and the individuality and self-nature of people disappear in the personal dependence relationship. If we can't insist on not destroying oneself, not destroying oneself for others, etc., then the wisdom of childhood will be lost; A girl like Xiangling doesn't need to have her own ideas to become a maid, and naturally begins to become demented. Look at Yan Zhai's comments on her again: "Think carefully about Xiangling's personality, the foundation is not allowed to welcome and explore, the appearance is not allowed to be Feng and Qin, the elegance is not allowed to be a hairpin, the romance is not allowed to Xiang and Dai, and the virtuous is not allowed to attack and be peaceful. But how can this person not enter the garden? This or sigh; In the forty-fourth episode, Baoyu "suddenly thought about Jia Lian only knowing how to please himself with lewdness, and he didn't know how to use it as fat powder." Si Ping'er has no parents, brothers and sisters, and is alone to provide for Jia Lian and his wife. Jia Lian's customs, Sister Feng's prestige, he can be thoughtful and proper, and he is still poisoned today, thinking that this person has a thin life, and he is even worse than Daiyu "and the sixty-second Baoyu" bowed his head and plotted in his heart: 'It's a pity that such a person, who has no parents, even forgot his own surname, was abducted by someone, and sold to this overlord. "Because I thought of the previous day, I couldn't think of it, and today is an unexpected accident," the corresponding person also sighed. In the lives and fates of the girls in Jiafu, who have different names but the same path, Cao Xueqin writes the story of the snow falling.
