Miaoyu, as a Buddhist disciple, should be pure and single-minded, but after entering Jia's family, she secretly promised Jia Baoyu's heart. In addition, she made it clear that she practiced with her hair and emphasized her family background, which shows that she did not enter an empty door because she was obsessed with Buddhism. I want to go too. A young woman will break away from the rich and comfortable life of ordinary people and suffer from the purity of Buddhism! So Miaoyu, why did she enter the Buddha?
There is a clear description in the book about why Miaoyu became a monk. Miaoyu was weak when she was young and often fell ill. If her illness is more dangerous, it seems that her life is gone. Many doctors have been invited at home, and many twin sons have been bought. If your son's life and death are easy, he buys a family with similar characters, and when the ghost comes to heady, the body double is allowed to die for his host's children, that's useless. In desperation, Miaoyu entered Buddhism herself and became a monk in Panxiang Temple in Xuanmu since childhood. Be upright in Buddhism and suppress your life. Coincidentally, Miaoyu's health gradually improved after entering Buddhism, so she stayed in Buddhism and practiced with her hair. However, although the reason is clear, readers who want to know A Dream of Red Mansions have various speculations about the reason why Miaoyu became a monk.
It is said that Miaoyu used to be the wife of an official's family, and she had some friendship with Jia's family. Later, she was convicted in the family and fled to Jia's family to avoid disaster, so as to cover up her own practice. ? Otherwise, a Buddhist disciple will not stay in the clean place of the temple, but live in the luxurious Grand View Garden and enjoy everyone's life.
Second, Miao Yu may have been forced to get married, so she was forced to practice. Perhaps Miaoyu was also chosen to marry a foreign fan like Tanchun, and she was not allowed to escape marriage by becoming a monk. At the same time, she offended powerful people and went to Jiafu to avoid disaster. But these statements, in fact, have no substantive evidence. Therefore, in the absence of clear evidence today, these statements really should not be believed.
Cao Xueqin gave Miaoyu, a noble woman, a bad ending. Miaoyu's judgment picture is: draw a beautiful jade and fall in the mud. The verdict is: if you want to be clean, you will be clean, and the clouds may not be empty; Poor Xiaoyu finally got stuck in the mud. The song is judged as: temperament is like orchid, and talent is better than fragrance. There is little natural loneliness. Your way is to spit out the meat and see the continuation of the front edge as vulgar; But I don't know that people who are too tall are more likely to be jealous. They are too clean to share the suspicion. Alas, the people in the ancient temple of Deng Qing are getting old; I failed. The pink floor is full of spring colors. In the end, I'm ashamed and go against your wishes. In that way, the flawless white jade was stuck in the mud; Why, the prince sighed?
For these judgments, judgments and songs, the sequel gave her a fate arrangement. Once I went to Xichun to play, I was targeted by thieves, and the next day I fell into the mud. Later, he was taken into the sea by thieves (as prostitutes) and never killed. However, some other scholars, after investigation, think that Miaoyu's ending should not be like this.
Miaoyu is the only woman among the twelve women in Jinling who is not related to the four families in Jinling. She starred in Twelve Women in Jinling and Grand View Garden in Rongguo Mansion. The reasonable explanation can only be that she will form a certain relationship with the four major families in the future, leading to her own tragic ending, and the tragic fate is not caused by external factors outside the four major families. And because she secretly promised Baoyu's heart, she may do something secular in the future. According to the lost Beijing version of The Story of the Stone, Miaoyu finally went to Guazhou, where the beauty succumbed to the bones and the Xue family was an imperial merchant. Guazhou was the only way for the golden waterway of the Grand Canal. As a result, the wonderful jade that may be in bud in spring fell into the hands of Xue Pan by mistake because of a scam. Miaoyu had been practicing in Pan Xiang Temple in Xuanmushan, Suzhou before coming to Beijing. Perhaps the word "Pan Xiang" is Cao Gong's obscure meaning of Miaoyu's fate. This is the purest woman, but she has become the concubine of the Xue family. This should be "a piece of beautiful jade, which fell in the soil."
