Chapter 65 Cao Xueqin V

Blossoms are easy to see but hard to find, worry about killing the flower buryer before the steps! …May Lennon have wings this day, Fly with the flowers to the end of the sky.At the end of the sky, where is Xiangqiu?If you don't have a bag of bright bones, A piece of pure land covers the wind.The quality of cleanliness comes and goes, don't teach the dirt to sink into the ditch! ..." How soul-stirring is the spirit of cleanliness of Chinese women! Doesn't the arrogance of noble girls lead to the noble character of ordinary people?Despise those stinky men and reject their dirty hands of all kinds.This struggle never stops.Where there is patriarchal oppression, there is women's resistance.

Cao Xueqin did not give all the good poems to Lin Daiyu. Baochai, Xiangyun Miaoyu and Baoqin are all good at poetry.And their writing is closely related to their temperament and situation.Mr. Mao Dun once pointed out that Cao Xueqin is "making hats according to the head".Xiangling's painstaking study of poetry is also directly related to her ups and downs.Xiangling wants to live a personal life and follow Lin and Xue.Poetry releases her infinite depression. Some scholars say that there were many female poets in the Qing Dynasty.The great poet Yuan Mei gave lectures and wanted to accept female disciples.As for Nalan Rongruo's wife, it is said that she is quite similar in appearance and talent to Lin Daiyu.

It is not a problem that Cao Xueqin lived in the atmosphere of his time.However, how can the eyes of great writers be limited to the mere Qing Dynasty?This is also like those experts in history who can see through thousands of years. Xue Baochai is not a bad person.On the contrary, she is a good girl who everyone loves.She respects her superiors, takes pity on her inferiors, and lives in harmony with her sisters.Her elder brother Xue Pan was domineering outside, but he was ruthless when he returned home. She persuaded her wholeheartedly, "persuading my elder brother for the wrong reason", and her soft words were measured.For the shrew-like sister-in-law Xia Jingui, she suppressed it openly and secretly, and presided over justice in the family.She takes care of Xiangling like she takes care of her own sister.She has a clear head, clear eyes, reasonable behavior and never loses her temper.Xiangling loves her, Xiren Xiangyun Tanchun respects her, Miaoyu is close to her, and even a pungent butler like Sister Feng admires her.There is really no choice for Xue Baochai, whoever asks her to be his wife will have endless blessings.Including Yanfu.Baochai is so beautiful, "beautiful and beautiful", and it is a kind of healthy beauty.In the novel, she was compared to Yang Yuhuan, and that snow-white crisp arm alone made Jia Baoyu a "dumb wild goose", eager to touch her.

Baoyu grew up in a pile of fat and powder, and touching it is his patent.When I grow up to fifteen or six years old, I gradually know how to hold back.About this shrinking hand, we will talk about it later. Beautiful, kind, fair, and meticulous, Xue Baochai fully meets the standard of "a woman without talent is a virtue".What's more, she is talented, with a beautiful heart, and she can write good poems with a wave of her hand.Let's look at her "Linjiang Fairy" chanting catkins: Spring dances in front of Baiyutang, and the east wind blows evenly.Butterflies surrounded by bees are chaotic: How many times have the water passed by, why should I blame Fangchen?Thousands of threads will not change in the end, let him gather and divide as he likes.Yun Huaxiu's laugh has no roots: the good wind sends me to Qingyun by force.

The last two sentences of this poem have been quoted countless times by red scholars.Baochai is good at borrowing strength, and she did go to Yunqing.It's just a little too high. Some commentators hope that "the combination of hairpins and Daisy" will allow Jia Baoyu to enjoy great blessings.It is good to enjoy great fortune, and it is in line with some reading mentality, but in fact it is impossible.One of the sequels of "Red Mansions: Realizing a Dream" has not been handed down because it destroys the pattern of tragedy and only caters to superficial reading.Cao Xueqin has an insight into all kinds of vulgar culture, but his art is by no means vulgar, rather, he is as elegant as he can be.Baochai and Daiyu have fusion, but they are more sharply opposed.Baochai is a product of a big family. She protects the family and suppresses human nature. She often persuades Baoyu to pay attention to her official career, and she still insists on saying it after encountering a setback a few times, which shows that she is determined in this regard.In the "gene chain" of the patriarchal society, Baochai is a link that meets the genetic standards.Baochai contributed to arranging the "cannibal banquet (in Lu Xun's words)".And she didn't know it, she seemed to act only according to "genetic instructions", and in the end she also fell.Cao Xueqin actually wrote Xue Baochai very clearly, and the premise of writing clearly is to be able to see clearly.The combination of Chai and Dai is absolutely impossible.Two Bao mistresses and one Baoyu can only dance a poor three-person dance.Chai and Dai are both high-minded, charming, and talented.When two beauty compete, one must be injured.Or let Baoyu walk away without eating.A trio, maybe not at all.The level of the combination of Chai and Dai cannot enter Cao Xueqin's giant eyes.Can only enter the Mimi eyes of low-level writers.

In the thirty-third chapter, Jin Chuan, the eldest girl in the wife's room, was beaten by Mrs. Wang and suddenly threw herself into a well and died. Mrs. Wang felt that she was inseparable and would be attacked by public opinion.At this juncture, Xue Baochai said something that has attracted great attention from red scholars: "In my opinion, he (Jin Chuan) didn't throw himself into the well in a fit of anger. Most likely he went down to live, or played in the well, and lost his foot." Going down. He is used to being restrained above, so when he goes out, he will naturally have to go and play around, how can he be so arrogant? Even if he is so arrogant, he is just a foolish person, and it is not a pity."

Baochai was really good at persuading her, and when she got to the point, she relieved Mrs. Wang of her guilt.Mrs. Wang first said that she was guilty, and Baochai smiled and said, "My aunt is a benevolent person. Of course I think so, but in my opinion..." Baochai's smiling turn was impressive. The charitable face of the master needs to be maintained.One master killed someone, and the other master wiped out her guilt for her.No wonder many scholars have focused on the class struggle in the Grand View Garden. This time, Baochai borrowed a lot of strength, which laid a good foundation for his future career in Qingyun.

Baochai made cold incense pills with her own hands. When things were not lukewarm, her daily wear was plain.Sister Feng is too selfish, and she is far behind Baochai.As Shangbao's mistress, Baochai manages the family better than Sister Feng, but it's a pity that she has not had time to display her ambition and talent before she hears that the building is about to collapse. Baochai has intentions and hypocrisy.This second layer belongs to the "collective subconsciousness", which she cannot see, but Cao Xueqin sees it with the highest form of artistic intuition.So writing about Baochai is not about exposing, but about compassion.

Behind Baochai are Xiren, Sister Feng, Tanchun, Second Sister You... Behind Daiyu are Qingwen, Yuanyang, Third Sister You, Miaoyu, Xiaohong, Siqi... Under closer inspection, there was a big difference between the two makeup teams.At first glance, it failed Cao Xueqin.Reading Cao Gong at different stages of life will give you different insights. Daiyu Qingwen didn't even think about what Xue Baochai said to Mrs. Wang when Jin Chuan threw herself into the well.Xiangyun mandarin ducks can't speak.Miss Bao is loved by everyone, and the loved one has her own problems. Instead of living out her true personality, she tends to pretend and hide her clumsiness, like a person in the officialdom. At the critical juncture of "value comparison", the master's face is more important than the girl's life.What she said with a smile was a soft knife, to make poor Jin Chuan die again.

Zhi Yanzhai called Xue Baochai a "female wife", which hit her at the heart.The guardians of the patriarchal society are like old pedants with a poor head and a poor scriptures, full of the air of a master.Baochai's tragedy is that she finally became a victim of the family. But Lin Daiyu puts love first, personality first, and despises all distortions of human nature.She is a real poet, not just writing for fun.The height of poetry is the height of her life.She belongs to the "gene chain of culture", following Sima Qian, Tao Yuanming and Li Qingzhao, she is another incarnation of Cao Xueqin.

Gao E continued to write the last forty chapters. Although there were many problems and created a lot of confusion, the handling of Daiyu's death and Baochai's marriage won the praise of many commentators.The ninety-seventh chapter "Lin Daiyu burns the manuscript to end her former love, Xue Baochai comes out of her boudoir to make a big gift", the tragic atmosphere set off by it really makes people twitch inside.The weight of this tragedy, which destroys the value of human nature for the world to see, is inferior to Shakespeare.Gao E's writing is also close to Xueqin's original intention.According to the clues of Zhiping, Cao Xueqin's lost manuscript wrote that Daiyu died and Baochai was married, but not on the same day.Cao Gong's handling was taken back by God.The plot revealed by Zhiyanzhai is that Jia Baoyu has been in a trance, and he is in front of Baochai, and his heart is hating the sky: "Facing the sky, the snow in the mountains is crystal clear; I will never forget, the lonely forest in the fairy land outside the world." Lin Daiyu died She is dead, but still alive; Xue Baochai is beautiful, gentle, and knowledgeable, trying her best, but she can't get along with Baoyu physically and mentally.The value gap cannot be filled.Human nature and family are not compatible. Even if the "female master" is brilliant, it is still difficult to replace "Lonely Forest" which embodies the highest value of female autonomy.Here, Cao Xueqin showed his principles. After Gao E wrote it, he asked Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai to taste the taste of the flesh.The Red Scholar verified him. He was originally a poor Confucian who failed in the examinations repeatedly. It is really difficult for him to live in the bouncing space of Xueqin. There are many more women depicted in heavy ink. It feels like he really can't write well: refreshing women are in groups.Miaoyu is lonely and arrogant, Qingwen is fierce, Xiangling is coquettish, Pinger is gentle, second sister You is kind and pure and beautiful and is bullied by others, third sister You laughs and scolds the stinky men in Ningfu, Xiangyun is tall and straightforward, Tanchun is humble But brave, Yuanyang would rather die than marry a bad old man, Siqi dares to bear everything for love, Xiaohong loves Jia Qiang wholeheartedly and regards Baoyu as nothing, Yuanchun, full of bitter tears, calls the majestic palace "a place not to be seen"... All these bright and vivid lives converge under the eyes of one person, and this person is Jia Baoyu. How Jia Baoyu's eyes see women is the key point and the core value of this world-class famous book. Baoyu looks at women with a particularly distinct sense of hierarchy.On the surface, he hangs out in the makeup team, plays wine, guesses fists and eats rouge, wants to reach out to touch Baochai, and "test love for the first time" with Xiren, but his sensitivity is actually elsewhere.In the sixth chapter of the novel, there is already a cloud and rain, and in the next seventy chapters, there is no more carnal scene.Carnal desires were given to Xue Pan, Jia Lian, Jia Rui, and that old pervert Jia She who ate vegetarian food and recited Buddha's name.Expanding the field of "color", but pinching the scale extremely well, is neither a master's pedantic attitude nor a vulgar hooligan attitude. Properness comes from self-cultivation.Cao Zijian, Su Dongpo, and Ruan Bubing, whom Cao Xueqin admired, were not suspected of playing with women. In the seventy-seventh chapter of the novel, Qingwen's "Holding Qu Yao's Merry" is written. "Zhou Rui's family" and several married women forced Siqi out of the garden, and threatened: "You are not the deputy lady now, if you are not obedient, I will beat you." Going away with chess, he said bitterly: "Strange, strange, why do these people just marry a man and smell like a man, and then they become fools like this. They are more deadly than men." The woman guarding the garden gate Zi smiled and asked: "So, all the daughters are good, and all the women are bad?" Baoyu said angrily, "Yes, yes!" This is Jia Baoyu's famous saying. In fact, in his eyes, all the daughters are good.He asked Qingwen to send Daiyu two old silks, and first sent the attacker away.It can be seen that he knows the maids well.Later, Qingwen was so ill that she couldn't drink water and rice, and seeing that she was about to die, Baoyu fell to the bed and cried bitterly, but she wondered: "I don't know what crime Qingwen has committed!" Xi Ren said: "Madam only thinks that she was born too well It’s a bit frivolous. My wife knows that such a beautiful person can’t be quiet in her heart; so she dislikes him very much. It’s better to be clumsy like us.” Baoyu said: “A beauty, can’t my heart be quiet? You How do you know that there are many beauties in ancient times who are quiet! ——That’s all, we’re joking around, how do we know? It’s strange that no outsider is taking the wind!” Attacking people is worthy of attacking people.Baochai hides clumsiness, Xiren pretends to be confused, and understands better than anyone else.Baoyu suspected that she was telling the truth, and forced the words to the front. She "bowed her head for a long time", and still used some words to fool Baoyu, preventing Baoyu from thinking deeper. Baoyu didn't think deeply, not because he was incapable of thinking.He thinks more broadly.Thinking is carried out at the level of feeling, which accumulates into invisible will and is elevated to the dimension of existence.He is fraternal to young women, which can also be called his guiding ideology.Fraternity love is not a love of chaos, his love is layered: Daiyu Qingwen is the favorite, Baochai Xiangyun is the second love, and so on to Yuchuan Fangguan's fourth son.Miss Bao, Miss Yun, and Sister Xiren all said "official career and economic bastard talk". Baoyu has a relationship with them, but does not break with them.Why?Because he sees the whole picture, stands at the height of fate, tenderly pities, loves, and sighs.Fraternity is also deep love.Only when you love deeply can you see carefully, and only then can you see broadly.
