The image of Wang Xifeng in A Dream of Red Mansions is rich and complex. In front of Jia Mu, she is a glib girl. This character was fully reflected when Daiyu first entered Guo Rongfu.
It is said that Daiyu went to Guo Rongfu, met people one by one, and was introduced to Wang Xifeng by Grandmother Jia, knowing that she was very influential in Jia Fu. Without thinking much, Xifeng took Daiyu's hand, looked it up and down, praised a few words, lamented the death of her aunt, and finally took Daiyu to ask questions and coax the old lady around.
No one is perfect. Xifeng has many shortcomings, but her most fatal shortcoming is that she likes to do immoral things.
social meaning
The full description of Xifeng's character effectively exposed the ugliness of the feudal ruling class and the darkness of the feudal society.
The author's "conclusion" to Wang Xifeng is that "the authorities are fascinated, not counting Qingqing's life." My heart was broken before my death, and my sex was ethereal after my death. It is better to have a rich family, but eventually a family will die and everyone will go their separate ways. It's a waste of time to hang on to your heart for half your life: it's like swinging for three times. Suddenly like the first floor, suddenly like Yi Deng. Ah! One happy and one sad. Sigh that the world is hard to decide. "Thus, the author is very sympathetic to it.
The more capable Xifeng was, the more she accelerated the collapse of Jia's dilapidated building, and Wang Xifeng herself was mutually assured destruction. In a word, this image has rich artistic charm and profound social significance.
