Chapter 10 Qin Zhong: The Enlightenment of Jia Baoyu's Deformed Love

There are many researchers of the Soyin school in the red academic circle, who are committed to the research of the real history alluded to in "Dream of Red Mansions".Among them, some scholars infer that the protagonist Jia Baoyu is an allusion to Kangxi's deposed prince Yinreng.The so-called "precious jade" refers to the jade seal, and the favorite rouge refers to the mimeograph necessary for the seal.The author does not comment much on such arguments, but it is a coincidence that this Yinfeng in history was also a famous homosexual.Originally, Yinreng was the son of Kangxi and Empress Kao Chengren. Soon after he was born, the empress died, so Kangxi loved this son even more and made him the prince very early.But this Yinfeng is really unbelievable, he has been gay again and again, from the imperial cook in the palace to the waiter in the teahouse, from the servant to the uncle and brother, the same-sex scandals are all over the sky, so he was ordered to be deposed by the unbearable Lord Kangxi!

This is a historical story, and Jia Baoyu in the book, the influence of several homosexuals in his life is also hard to ignore. Judging from the book, Jia Baoyu's first homosexual lover should be Qin Zhong, and this young man is also the one who matches Baoyu the most.Qin Zhong is Baoyu's first love of the same sex, this young man is not simple.At a young age, I have a lot of ideas.He didn't study hard in the school, so he went to be a servant. When his sister died, he went to the funeral, and even slept with a little nun in the temple.This child is a typical precocious puberty.There is a sickly and flirtatious beauty all over her body.There is a very detailed description of Qin Zhong's appearance in the book:

(Qin Zhong) is a little thinner than Baoyu, with clear features, pink face and red lips, handsome figure, and elegant manners. He seems to be above Baoyu, but timid and shy, like a daughter, shy and vague.Sister Feng pushed Baoyu first with joy, and said with a smile, "Let's go!" Then she leaned over and took the child's hand, ordered him to sit beside her, and asked him slowly, "How old are you and what books are you reading, brother?" A few, what is their scientific name?Qin Zhong agreed one by one. ... When Baoyu saw Qin Zhong's outstanding character, he seemed to be lost in his heart. After being dazed for a long time, he felt dazed again, and thought to himself: "There are such people in the world! Now it seems that I have become I have become muddy pigs and mangy dogs. I hate why I was born in the family of the Houmen government. If I was also born in the poor family of the poor eunuch, I would have made friends with him long ago, and I would have lived my life in vain. Although I am more noble than him, It can be seen that the beautiful gauze is just to wrap my dead wood, and the fine wine and lamb are just to fill my dung and muddy ditch. The word 'rich and noble' has been poisoned by me!" Qin Zhong saw Baoyu's outstanding description Qin Zhong also thought to himself: "Sure enough, this precious jade can't be blamed for people doting on him. I hate that I was born in a poor family, and I can't meet him. You can know that you are poor." The word "窭" is limited to people, and it is a great displeasure in the world." Both of them were thinking wildly.Suddenly Baoyu asked him what book he was reading.Qin Zhong asked the question, so he answered the truth.The two talked to each other, and after a dozen or so sentences, they became more and more intimate.

Qin Zhong writes wonderfully as soon as he appears on the stage. Instead of writing about Baoyu's feelings, he only writes about Sister Feng's reaction first.How knowledgeable and noble Sister Feng is, in her eyes, Qin Zhong's appearance and behavior "seem to be above Baoyu", which means that Qin Zhong's appearance is really better than Baoyu's.And "Timid and shy, with the attitude of a daughter, shy and vague, slowly bowing to Sister Feng to say hello" shows that Qin Zhong has the romantic and charming temperament of a girl, how can such a boy not fall for Baoyu's intention?

Let’s take a look at Baoyu’s psychological description of Qin Zhong when he first met Qin Zhong: Baoyu saw Qin Zhong’s outstanding character, and he seemed to be lost in his heart. There is such a person! Looking at it now, I have become a muddy pig and a mangy dog. I hate why I was born in the family of the Duke's family. I lived my life in vain. Although I am so nobler than him, you know that the beautiful gauze is just to wrap my dead wood, and the fine wine and lamb are just to fill my dung and mud ditch. I'm poisoned!" Qin Zhong's heart was another scene: Qin Zhong saw that Baoyu described him as outstanding, his manners were extraordinary, and he also had gold crowns and embroidered clothes, and he was arrogant and extravagant. It's a pity that I was born in a poor family, so I can't connect with him. It can be seen that the word "poor widow" is limited to people, and it is also a great displeasure in the world."

We can study and compare the psychological differences between Baoyu and Qin Zhong.Let's look at Baoyu first. Baoyu's pure admiration for Qin Zhong's appearance is a natural expression of emotion.Baoyu is an interesting person. After meeting Qin Zhong, he reduced himself to "mud pig mangy dog", "dead wood", "dung pit mud ditch", which is actually very difficult to understand with modern people's thinking .Although Qin Zhong has an outstanding appearance, Baoyu is not bad either. In Qin Zhong's eyes, isn't Baoyu "outstanding in description and extraordinary in behavior"?Is Baoyu so self-ashamed and unconfident?This is so abnormal!In fact, Baoyu has an innate inferiority complex psychologically, and this inferiority complex is only stimulated when he meets a beautiful girl or boy.In other words, Jia Baoyu was born with a mentality of worshiping beauty, and regarded it as his own belief.It is mentioned many times in the book that Jia Baoyu, who is the "little emperor" of Jia's mansion, is willing to serve as slaves. Of course, these slaves are smart and beautiful maids in the Grand View Garden.Girls or servants with vulgar looks are not treated like this.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand Baoyu's psychology when he saw Qin Zhong. When a person sees someone who is more handsome than himself, he will inevitably have that kind of inferiority complex.Especially Jia Baoyu. In fact, it is not surprising that Baoyu has such an attitude of interrogation.After all, the entire Jia family judges whether a person's character is good or not, basically based on the attitude of appearance first.The attitude of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang towards Qin Zhong is also the same: Seeing that Qin Zhong was beautiful and gentle, and could accompany Baoyu to study, Jia's mother was very happy, so she left tea and dinner, and ordered someone to take him to see Mrs. Wang and others.Everyone loves the Qin clan, and now they are all happy to see Qin Zhong with such a character, and they all pay respects when they leave.Jiamu gave another purse and a Jinkuixing, which means "hehe of Wen Xing".He also told him: "Your family lives far away, and it may be inconvenient for a while to be cold, hot, hungry and full. Just live here, there is no need to limit it. Just be with your uncle Bao, and don't learn from those things that don't make progress."

Just because Qin Zhong's "beautiful description and gentle manner" made Jia's mother feel worthy to accompany Baoyu to study, which shows that she also judges people by appearance.He told Qin Zhong to "don't learn from those who don't make progress".Who are the things that don't grow?Naturally, it was those rough-looking children in Jia's mansion.Everyone in the Jia family disliked Jia Huan, not only because he was born to his concubine Aunt Zhao, but also because of Jia Huan's wretched image and poor appearance.Otherwise, Yingchun and Tanchun were also born to concubines, and Tanchun and Jiahuan were born to the same mother, but the treatment was completely different.Furthermore, Jia Huan was only a child in his early ten years old when he appeared on the stage, even if he was naughty, how bad could he be?Compared with Jia Lian, Jia Rong and other real prodigal sons, they are nothing.But because of their handsome looks, Jia Lian and Jia Rong are still favored by Jia's mother. It can be seen that the criteria for judging a person by Jia's family has always been that appearance ranks first and character ranks second. "Things that don't make progress" also contributed to Baoyu's abnormal view of love.

Of course, Qin Zhong's thoughts are much more complicated than Baoyu's in this passage of his first meeting with Qin Zhong.There's clearly some erotic elements to it. Qin Zhong hated that he was born poor and could not "hand in hand" with Baoyu. These four words are strange. Boys are different from girls: girls like physical contact and also express intimacy.Therefore, it is not surprising that girls hold hands and bite ears.But boys are different, he longs for a sense of independence, and dislikes the tussle between two big men, while Qin Zhong, as a boy, longs for "handover" with Baoyu, both boys in adolescence Why handover?Isn't the meaning of this obvious?Qin Zhong is a precocious child.In Jia's private school, he had sex with Xiang Lian and Yu Ai. After the death of his sister Qin Keqing, not only did he not feel grief, but he met a "second girl" on the way to the funeral, and Baoyu made fun of "this time" very ambiguously. Qing is very interesting", and what this interest is is naturally self-evident.But when he went to the temple to perform rituals, Qin Zhong's behavior was even more outrageous:

Who would have thought that Qin Zhong would seek wisdom while there was no one else in the dark.As soon as he arrived in the back room, he saw Zhizhi washing tea bowls alone in the room, when Qin Zhong came running and hugged him and kissed him.Zhizhi stomped anxiously and said, "What is this? If you do this again, I will call you." Qin Zhong begged, "Good man, I am dying of anxiety. If you don't follow me today, I will die here." Zhizhi said, "What do you want? Unless I get out of this prison and get rid of these people, I will follow you." Qin Zhong said: "It's easy, but the water in the distance can't save the thirsty near." As he said, he blew on the lamp, the room was dark, and his intelligence Hold it on the kang, and it will rain.

Those who are so intelligent that they can't afford to struggle, and they are not easy to shout, have to rely on him.Just when I was having fun, I saw one person come in and hold the two of them down without making a sound.The two of them didn't know who it was, so they dared not move.Hearing the man's sneer, he couldn't help laughing, and the two of them knew it was Baoyu.Qin Zhong got up quickly and complained, "What is this?" Baoyu laughed and said, "If you don't agree, let's shout." The shy Zhizhi ran away in the dark.Baoyu pulled Qin Zhong out and said, "Are you still fighting against me?" Qin Zhong laughed and said, "Good man, just don't let everyone know by shouting. I will do whatever you want." Baoyu laughed and said, "This meeting Needless to say, after I go to sleep, I will settle the accounts carefully." For a time when I undress and rest, Sister Feng is in the inner room, Qin Zhong and Baoyu are in the outer room, and the ground is full of women who are at home, sitting in bed.Fearing that the psychic jade would be lost, Sister Feng waited for Baoyu to sleep and ordered someone to bring it to her pillow.Baoyu didn't know what account he had to calculate with Qin Zhong. He didn't see it clearly, and he didn't remember it. This is a suspicious case and he dare not compile it. This description is comparable to the obscenity of Jia Lian's affair.Not only Qin Zhong's shy and literary image no longer exists, but even Baoyu's dissolute side is vividly portrayed.It is of course self-evident what Baoyu refers to, "It goes without saying for a while, and I will settle the accounts in detail after I sleep for a while."It stands to reason that a ten-year-old half-grown child should be shy and afraid when he sees such a thing. Even if Baoyu had sex with Xiren, it was done in secret.And Qin Zhong is his good friend, seeing his friend having sex with a girl, the scene must be embarrassing, whoever encounters such a thing, doesn't they all blush and have thick necks?But Baoyu is not only not embarrassed, but also teases them very normally. It can be seen that he and Qin Zhong have already had an abnormal experience of "being honest and honest", so the author really writes here without writing. What account, I haven't seen it clearly, I haven't remembered it, this is a suspicious case, I dare not edit it." It is obvious to tell readers: These two people must have a story at night! Readers who love the character of Jia Baoyu may have objections here: Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong at this time are just children in their early teens, how can one imagine their behavior as so dirty?How could the author Cao Xueqin have the heart to describe the heroine in her novel as such a prostitute? In fact, in ancient times, wealthy families have always had the habit of raising children for prostitution. Not only homosexuality was popular, but pedophilia was even more popular."Tong" here refers to boys, who are good-looking and similar to girls.Especially in the Qing Dynasty, the trend of adultery and child molestation reached its peak, and there were a lot of men who kept child molesters in their families. It was often recorded in the notes of the Qing Dynasty. Ji Xiaolan, the author of "Yuewei Thatched Cottage Notes", once told such a story: "It is said that a certain rich family likes to bet on cunning children, but because of shame or rejection, they buy more children from Ruili, who are under ten years old, and play with other children. , holding candles to wait on the side from time to time, all kinds of obscene behaviors, I get used to it for a long time, and take it for granted..." It can be seen that children around ten years old have already begun to clearly come into contact with "sex", living in such an environment since childhood, It can be fatal to a person's mental health.Those who grow up in this environment often become the most debauched male representatives in society.Therefore, even the greatest writer Cao Xueqin, who was born in such an era, held a positive attitude towards such "deformed love", so he arranged some gay couples, the "love sage" Jia Baoyu and the "love species" Qin Zhong. Love scenes are also inevitable. It has always been believed that Qin Keqing and Qin Zhong are the two mentors of Baoyu's sexual enlightenment.Qin Keqing taught him the love between men and women, and Qin Zhong taught him same-sex love.Of course, the author can only arrange for Baoyu's two mentors to die as soon as possible. Just imagine: if these two people have been living healthy and healthy in Jia Baoyu's life, how embarrassing Baoyu will be in the future when they grow up gradually!Before meeting Qin Zhong, Jia Baoyu was actually quite pure, even if he had sex with Xiren, it was still surreptitious and frightening.But the appearance of Qin Zhong opened a strange door of sexual love for him, and he can be regarded as the enlightener of his homosexual love.As a mother, Mrs. Wang only thinks about purging the female foxes around Baoyu, but forgets that some men are also foxes, and they can also seduce people!However, judging from the following text, Baoyu obviously has a deep affection for this first love, and he has always been obsessed with it.
