Chapter 6 "Jin Ping Mei" Xiaozha and Gossip Red Chamber Chapter 5 How Black is the Black Hole of Desire

In the evaluation of Jin Ping Mei, there was an interesting phenomenon, either referring to the "lewd book" and completely denying it, or bypassing the "erotic book" and only praising its literary achievements, or the profound darkness it revealed in society.In fact, when Jin Ping Mei came out, those who treasured and copied it were all literati, and they were great literati. "Literati" has always been a symbol of "pureness and nobility". It is always a bit unreasonable to like "pornographic books" as a literati.For example, Ting Yu, a nongzhu guest of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, divides readers into "Bodhisattva", "gentleman", "little man" and "beast". Naturally, he himself is at least a gentleman.In Yuan Hongdao's letter to Dong Qichang in 596, he said that "the clouds are full of paper, which is better than Meicheng's "Qifa".When I saw this passage, I felt quite funny. I don’t believe that a reader’s normal sense would associate a novel about life in the city with Han Dafu.Yunxia is full of clouds and clouds, and it is more natural to describe Dream of Red Mansions.Yuan Zhonglang is just trying to show that what Jin Ping Mei attracts him most is "beauty", not "sexuality".

Until today, only "senior intellectuals" or "senior cadres" are eligible to borrow the Jin Ping Mei in the library. This is their privilege. Good. The secretaries of the provincial party committees can take a look").Ten years ago, I saw Jin Ping Mei for the first time on a relative’s bookshelf. It was a photocopy of the Wanli engraved edition, a set of twelve volumes, with excellent decoration and illustrations of the Chongzhen edition. Can't and can't afford it.Therefore, for the general public, it is generally known that Jin Ping Mei is a "big poisonous weed" of "extraordinary obscenity", but it is very confused about how "extraordinary obscenity" is.Even today, the freedom of the publishing industry has greatly surpassed that of the past, and pornographic and quasi-pornographic novels have been industrialized, but Jin Ping Mei still has not obtained the right to publish the entire book publicly.Thanks to the Internet, we can easily access it.In addition to academic websites, many pornographic websites also use it as a call.However, I can guarantee that even if Jin Ping Mei is easy to buy and reaches the level of Dream of Red Mansions, its audience cannot reach the level of Dream of Red Mansions.Out of curiosity about "obscene books", it is difficult for those who bought it home to see it from beginning to end.People who are purely interested in pornography will definitely be more likely to get excited by reading "Run Grass Monk", popular "baby" and "privacy", and even Japanese perverted pornographic novels.Jin Ping Mei is undoubtedly an erotic novel, but it is not a "erotic novel" for public consumption in the general sense. Only those who have a considerable understanding of traditional culture can truly understand and understand it.

In fact, Jin Ping Mei is known as a "obscene book", and the truly obscene descriptions only account for about 5% of the total length of the book. The People's Literature Publishing House once published a "clean book". If this 5% is deleted, it will be "more" than "Dream of Red Mansions". clean".However, it is estimated that those who are willing to read are unwilling to read the "clean version", not only because the integrity of the work is damaged, but also because the charm of the clean version has been greatly reduced.Because the people in the whole book, it seems that the purpose of the whole life is to go for this 5%.The sexual description in Jin Ping Mei is very vivid and even profound. It can be said that it directly hits the ugliness of human nature and the black hole of desire.Once these sexual descriptions are removed, many words become inexplicable.For example, as mentioned earlier, in the section about Pan Jinlian and Qintong having an affair, in the clean book, what you see is: Pan Jinlian "stole someone", and Ximenqing punished her by whipping her several times.This is just an ordinary scene in a wealthy family. At most, you know that Pan Jinlian is hopelessly lecherous.But the whole book is different. What you see is a very lively and subtle scene between the three protagonists Ximen Qing, Pan Jinlian and Chunmei. The chapters make a connection, which is more memorable.

When I checked online, I found that the website added "Jin Ping Mei Supplementary Deletion" in addition to the main text. Since there is no deletion in the electronic version, how can there be "supplementary deletion"?It turns out that all the sexual descriptions in the book are concentrated in one place.I couldn't help laughing, maybe the creator of the electronic version also found that Jin Pingmei's pornographic descriptions were not attractive enough for its length, and kindly provided "convenience" for readers.But the sexual description that has been extracted is just a paragraph of sexual description.Only by putting it in the whole book can you see its value.

For example, for the character Pan Jinlian, when I read the opening chapters, I couldn't help feeling a lot of pity for her.This is by no means a self-proclaimed "Bodhisattva", nor is she influenced by the reversing articles written for her after the rise of feminism in later generations.Instead, I felt that at the beginning, she actually had the perception and feelings of a normal person, even without losing her innocence and sensibility. (In fact, the author's description of her sex life at this time is also relatively restrained) But her emotional appeal was brutally rejected, her self-esteem was repeatedly trampled, and her sense of security was completely deprived.In a big family with wives and concubines and prostitutes, what other ways can she escape her depression?So, sex became her only source of pleasure.She is perpetually horny and willing to put others to death for the chance to get fucked.You can see her getting more and more gruesome in bed until the final horrific scene.The black hole of desire is bottomless, and eventually swallows others, as well as herself.
