Eighty Red Theory: Just folded Liu Xianglian

If you find an analogous character, Liu Xianglian is most likely to remind people of Jin Yong's Linghu Chong, the feelings of smiling and arrogant, enjoying the rivers and lakes, and dominating the world are extremely similar, but the endings of the two are so different; Perhaps because Ling Hu Chong is a fictional character, art is higher than life under romanticism; Although Liu Xianglian is the same character in the book, in the realistic brushwork, the result is a first-class character and the last first-class fate, which really makes people sigh.

In the forty-seventh chapter of "A Dream of Red Mansions", Liu Xianglian's origin is recounted: "I was originally a child of a family, I couldn't study, my parents died early, I was a cool man, I didn't stick to details, I was cool at playing guns and swords, gambling and drinking, and even sleeping in flowers and willows, playing the flute and playing the kite, and doing everything." If such a character was born in Jiafu, I am afraid that he would have made a career long ago, but Liu Xianglian did not have relatives and friends to help him, and he only ended up with the reputation of "such a Peugeot person, the most cold-faced and cold-hearted, almost the same people, all ruthless and unrighteous" and "Leng Langjun". Although Xue Pan's actions this time were spitting, Liu Xianglian's own rigid temperament could not avoid the fact that she did not obtain happiness and karma later.

Liu Xianglian ended up tragically because of her love, which originated from Third Sister You. Let's briefly describe the three sisters of the You family, these three sisters of the You family should be the first-class beauties in "Dream of Red Mansions". Jia Zhen's wife in Ningguo Mansion died early and remarried the eldest sister You as a stepfamily; Second Sister You married Jia Lian as a concubine, but she was too late to change her ways; You Sanjie can be said to be a "variety of beauty" in the book; The second and third sisters of the You family, the eldest sister is weak, so they all want to change their lives later, but they are not human; Jia Zhen is a key figure in the center, but unfortunately she is not a masterpiece, which delays Shuangshu's future.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Third Sister You is a "beautiful woman", compared to the ancient Miyue is not humble, compared to the modern Fu Seoul Wu Sers's strong thinking female man, there is just a group, and the beauty of life refining jade is not a loner from the historical point of view. If it is said that the third sister You is full of pleats, she saw Liu Xianglian five years ago or the ignorance of the little girl's first love, she will be able to understand Liu Xianglian through words and deeds to observe the character, thinking that she will win people for life but do not know the will of heaven to make people and finally have no power; In the sixty-third appearance, Jia Rong laughed, and her words indirectly revealed the filthy side of Jiafu; In Jia Jing's funeral, Baoyu's care for his sister is likely to incur slander from the people behind him, and Baoyu's behavior is not in harmony with etiquette and is more important than human face, and the maids and mothers-in-law around Baoyu do not add oil and vinegar to their sisterhood, and it is strange that they do not "randomly take advantage of the situation" in order to isolate them, and You Sanjie can understand Baoyu, Baoyu is rare and thoughtful, You Sanjie is just a current thing; Jia Zhen thinks that there is no one in Ningguofu, so she has the third sister You, with the third sister's talent is not weak, Qin Keqing, and the strong is not low Sister Feng, if you are at ease in Ningguofu, it is also the best policy, but unfortunately at the moment when Jia Lian is stirring up the situation, the third sister did not completely fall to Jia Zhen but chose to break her face, blindly scolding Jia Lian and playing with Jia Zhen, perhaps because she has Liu Xianglian who values love and righteousness in her imagination; Jia Lian opened her heart to marry the second sister and continue to seek the third sister, if the third sister You chooses to change her life like the second sister, it is also the best policy, because Sister Feng delayed her illness at that time, if the two sisters marry Jia Lian together, they can compete with Sister Feng, but she refuses, perhaps because she has Liu Xianglian who values love and righteousness in her imagination; Maybe it's because she has the imaginary Liu Xianglian who values love and righteousness in her heart, and she doesn't know that Liu Xianglian is "such a Peugeot person, the most cold-faced and cold-hearted, almost the same people, are ruthless and unrighteous", and the illusory ideal began to change the next policy of keeping the festival caused her final tragedy.

Liu Xianglian is evaluated as "Leng Langjun", but he can be good friends with Baoyu and Qin Zhong, and he can save Xue Pan in the rivers and lakes, and get along with him as brothers, if this person is ruthless and unrighteous, no one will believe it. This can only be said that it is difficult for him to accept a person, "either a bosom friend or a stranger" Liu Xianglian's attitude towards life determines his life to be bumpy, because one of the accidents is a little wrong. His tragedy stems from Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu. In Jia Lian's book, there is a sentence "I only don't say the words of Third Sister You's choice", which misled the two of them, because Jia Lian began to respect Shuangshu. Second Sister You was gentle with Jia Lian because of guilt, which made Jia Lian taste the friendship of a daughter that Sister Feng and Ping'er did not have, and because of its preciousness, she actually began to respect the second sister, although it was strange but it did happen. Therefore, in the marriage between Liu Xianglian and Third Sister You, he did not explain it thoroughly, because after all, it was not the era of bragging and farting with Xue Pan in the past, and the second sister did not waste her own wife when she married into the door, even if she said some good things, she was timid, so Third Sister You's affection was suffocated here. Liu Xianglian's affection was suffocated by Jia Baoyu, because Baoyu looked at the You sisters differently during Jia Jing's funeral. Because of Jia Zheng's successful experience in officialdom, Rong Guofu cultivated Baoyu, an extremely smart "star" born with jade, as a treasure, and only waited for enlightenment in the future to enter the hall, so there could be no mistake. Jia Zheng, Jia Mu, and Mrs. Wang sent people to keep an eye on them, and it was strange that Baoyu didn't ask the You sisters like that. So, Baoyu said, "I was there and messed with them for a month, why didn't I know?" It's really a pair of stunners, and his surname is You, "It's not for no reason, it may not be reckless, and afterwards it may be glad that his friend didn't go into the alley and drilled a dead end, because Jia Lian couldn't tell him about the changes in Shuangshu, and Xue Pan didn't have time to tell him about the preparation of buying an industry for the righteous brothers, and Baoyu blurted out that he buried his friend's happiness.

Finally, some Eastern and Western views on true love. In the East, true love exists in eternity. Some people say: How come so many happy families don't have true love? Yes, but this kind of true love is not pure true love, it is a love mixed with friendship and family affection. Or rather, in the East, true love is a mixture. In the past, it was common for friendship between colleagues to develop love, and for brother and sister affection in the neighborhood to develop love. Or that in the East true love is to exist and must transcend society, then the result may be short-lived. Like the fifteenth episode of "Dream of Red Mansions", "Sister Wang Feng Gets the Power of the Iron Threshold Temple", as a result, Zhang Caizhu's daughter and the garrison son both committed suicide, such true feelings are a copy of "Peacock Flying Southeast", which is not much better than "Liang Zhu", but there is no place for such true love in the world, like the love revealed between Lu You, Li Qingzhao, and Su Shi's lyrics and songs. Love is not integrated into the big society, the space and time for living alone are limited, or it belongs to the youth of 18 years old, or it is the deliberate pursuit of more than one person, and it cannot be exempt from narrowness and shortness. In other words, true love in the East is to transcend the level of the larger society, and if it is transcendent, it will be idealized and divorced from reality. In the West, true love is about to be over-desired. Western individualism is prevalent and there are far fewer social bonds, and if you can transcend materialistic personal desires in the seven emotions and six desires, you can get true love. This view may also be applicable in the developed economic conditions of the East, otherwise it will be developed according to mixed love. Finding true love in the West is a life topic, which is involved in many movies, and I have seen movies with complete introductions in the past such as "Golden Jade Good Words", "Unexpected Husband" and so on. Although it feels a little like true love is nagging after watching it, it does talk about some problems with true love. Note: True love can also be confusing in the West, but if it doesn't have sweetness after playing tricks like Cupid, it is not true love.

For You Sanjie, when there is true love, it is unrequited love, and for Liu Xianglian, when there is true love, there is no way to talk about it, maybe true love in the East is a kind of paranoia, which led to the tragedy of the two. For the Orientals, if they do not go through the Zhou Yi 64 hexagram to make their thinking reach the cycle of moderation and perfection, or the small cycle of being limited to their own goals, there will be problems in the moral distance between righteousness and affection. As a product of people's concentrated emotional gathering, true love has been biased towards a small space for individuals or two people, and it may be fruitless under the condition that it cannot be openly integrated into society to complete the roundness.
