Chapter 3 Text-2

The spirit he mentioned is mainly to "show people the way of liberation".That is, why do you want to live a busy life amidst hardships and hardships?So it is to show people the way of liberation.How to get rid of it?is "existing in the world , not in suicide". The way of liberation is that you really overcome, you overcome the desire of life, you get rid of the desire of life, so you are born, not suicide. Suicide belongs to you and you are still in pain without relief , You committed suicide because of pain. So he said, in it, like Miss You’s suicide, he said that she committed suicide because of the feeling she pursued, but she couldn’t get it. It was the pain of her desire that made her commit suicide , She didn’t get rid of her desire, so this kind of suicide is not liberation. Liberation is real, it means seeing through the world, getting rid of your desires, and defeating your desires. This is the liberation. So he said that inside, the so-called liberation can really be achieved Yes, there are only three people: one is Xichun, the other is Zijuan, and the other is Baoyu. However, the principle of liberation, although you will be liberated in the end, and the liberation you mentioned is that you took refuge in Buddhism at the beginning, that is, Buddhism Religion, so let you get rid of all desires in life. So Buddhism let you get rid of all these worldly fetters, get rid of all your desires, and restore your spiritual nature. So if you commit suicide, you eliminate You have destroyed your body, but you have not eliminated your desires, so you have not been able to obtain liberation. From the outside, Xichun, Zijuan, and Baoyu have all become monks, but he said that there are still two ways to achieve liberation. He said that Xichun and Zijuan came from observing the pain of others, because she was a bystander, and Zijuan was a bystander. Zijuan observes the suffering of others, and Xichun also observes the pain of the big family's joys and sorrows, so he is awakened by observing the pain of others. This kind of awareness is a religious awareness. But Baoyu is not, so Baoyu's liberation is his. I personally experienced and really felt my own pain, really felt my own pain, and then I was liberated. He said that this is literature, art, and completely rational awareness from the sidelines, which is religious. You can see through it It is literature, art, and a tragic spirit to be awakened after experiencing pain. Therefore, Buddhism also tells a story, saying "golden scales penetrate the net", and many Buddhist quotations are from these eminent monks and great virtues account of their conversation.

It is said that there were two monks and two monks were walking by a river. The fisherman cast a net there to catch fish, and a lot of fish were caught in the net. Some fish with weak vitality were caught by the net. Yes, but some fish have stronger vitality, struggling and jumping in the net, and then jumping out of the net.There was a monk who said, "Handsome, with golden scales through the net".To be handsome is to be beautiful. As the saying goes in Beijing, "Jun", it is really handsome, it is really beautiful.It is the golden scales that penetrate the net, and it is such a fish that has been caught in the net and can jump out.The one next to it, the other monk said, "Why didn't it get caught in the net at the beginning?" Wouldn't it be better if it hadn't been caught in the net in the first place?The first monk said, brother, "You lack enlightenment", you lack awareness, and those who have not entered the net, once you are caught in the net, can you jump out?

this is a big problem.For a fish that has never entered the net, if you are really caught in the net, whether you can jump out is a big problem.Even though it was caught by the net and then jumped out, it was artistic, tragic, and literary.So he said, the spirit, this is Wang Guowei's statement, he said that Jia Baoyu can really be freed from his own painful feelings, so the protagonist must be Jia Baoyu. There is another kind of person who also mentioned her.This is because a few days ago, I also saw another person wrote an article, saying that suicide is not the real liberation, but the real liberation is to get out of this world, to get rid of this desire.But everyone knows what happened to Wang Guowei in the end?Wang Guowei finally sank by throwing himself into the water in front of the Yuzao Pavilion in Kunming Lake.So a few days ago I read a person's article, and I talked about Wang Guowei's "Red Mansion Dream Commentary", said Wang Guowei's "Red Mansion Dream Commentary", said that the way of liberation lies in birth, not in suicide, but why did Wang Guowei himself Then he committed suicide because he didn’t follow Schopenhauer’s philosophy and the spirit of liberation proposed by himself in the Commentary on A Dream of Red Mansions. How could he commit suicide by himself?He didn't free himself.But it also revealed a very subtle news, that is, people like Third Sister You committed suicide, and people like Jin Chuan who threw himself into the well committed suicide. These people did not get rid of their desires, so this is not liberation.There was another person inside who also committed suicide, that is Jiamu's maid, Yuanyang, Jiamu's maid Yuanyang, because Jia She must take her as a concubine later, Yuanyang didn't want to be Jia She's concubine, so under persecution Yuanyang committed suicide.Wang Guowei did not mention that Yuanyang is also a liberated person, because Yuanyang still committed suicide, not being born.But he said that there was a turning point. He said that although Yuanyang committed suicide, it was because of the persecution of the environment, because Jia She had to take her as a concubine, and she had no choice but to commit suicide. If there was no persecution of the environment, he said like Xichun, Mandarin ducks should be able to do the behavior of Zicuckoo.What he meant was that, as a bystander, Yuanyang had a thorough understanding of the vicissitudes of Jia's ups and downs, joys and sorrows. Later, he was persecuted and had no choice but to commit suicide in this environment.If it weren't for the persecution of Jia She and the others, then Yuanyang, he said, should be able to achieve liberation from the world.I am now thinking about Mr. Wang Guowei's suicide. Although I read another person's article a few days ago, I was criticizing it, saying that Wang Guowei existed in the world, not in suicide. How did he commit suicide?I think Wang Guowei should probably belong to the category of mandarin ducks.That is Wang Guowei. He himself has a kind of awareness of the pain of life, but that is the eve of the Northern Expedition. On the eve of the Northern Expedition, rumors say that if the Northern Expeditionary Army enters Beijing, what will happen? What kind of persecution will this kind of conservative, stubborn, and old-fashioned have?Wang Guowei is a person, so he is contradictory. When I talk about wisdom and emotion, we said at the beginning that Wang Guowei's nature is a very basic character, and his reason and emotion are both strong and beautiful.This kind of character is good for studying knowledge, he has both sensibility and intelligence.But in life, he couldn't make a decisive decision.Wang Guowei did not agree that the later Puyi was used by the Japanese to organize the puppet Manchukuo, but Luo Zhenyu, who cooperated with Wang Guowei, wanted to assist Puyi in organizing the puppet Manchukuo.Therefore, Wang Guowei and Luo Zhenyu have collaborated for decades in the field of academic research, and in the end they turned against each other. This is the point of difference in their views.

Wang Guowei knew rationally that he should not support the puppet Manchukuo, especially should not rely on the power of the Japanese to organize the puppet Manchukuo, but Wang Guowei had entered the palace as Puyi's master before the revolution, and Puyi was still a very young boy at the time, so he believed that the crime of the Qing Dynasty's subjugation did not lie with Puyi. Puyi was an unfortunate person who became the king of subjugation when he was born.Since Wang Guowei was his teacher, he had feelings for him, and he couldn't go there decisively. This was his contradiction.He is not like those old people who still support Pu Yi, establish any country, and still fight for power in that small court, he is not such a person.However, emotionally, he has nothing to do, he just has this kind of teacher-student relationship. "I" once had feelings for him, but "I" didn't have this kind of determination, so I cut him off decisively.If it was true that the Northern Expeditionary Army came to Yanjing and punished him as an old man, he would not argue, and it would be wrong if he did not argue, but his mood was not that of an old man who truly supported Puyi, so he was contradictory and painful. It cannot be resolved. He is a contradiction between wisdom and emotion, so he is persecuted by the environment.If there hadn't been such a rumor that the Northern Expeditionary Army was about to enter the city, it would be disadvantageous to some people. If there hadn't been such an environment, he might not have committed suicide.And maybe he, I said again, Wang Guowei said very rationally, saying that life is based on liberation, he is what we say "you can see through, but you can't bear it", the ancients said.Rationally, "I" knows that it should be born, but emotionally, "I" can't do it completely. If I can see through it, "I" can't bear it. "I" couldn't make such a move, "I" couldn't make such a determination, so he committed suicide.Therefore, it is really a question whether it is possible to say that according to the example of the mandarin duck he mentioned, that he can be born in his heart, but because of the external environment, he has no choice but to commit suicide. Since Wang Guowei came down to ask him, this is a question.All in all, the spirit he said exists in liberation.

He said that in Chinese novels and operas, Chinese people are generally optimistic and like happy endings.
