In A Dream of Red Mansions, the author wrote about Wang Xifeng's appearance in a very strong style. She was full of splendor and jewels, "a pair of phoenix eyes with two curved willow leaves hanging from her eyebrows", "the pink face was full of spring, and the lips were not smiling" but she was like a fairy princess. Just as Xing Er described her. Darkness is a knife ".
Jia Rui coveted her beauty. She gave her bait, set a trap, let him take the bait, and finally made her lovesick to death. Old Ni Jingxu of Tiesill Temple promised her 3,2 silver in order to help the brother-in-law of Grandfather Chang 'an's house rob her relatives. She secretly forced Chang 'an to get married through her joints. As a result, a pair of young men and women both committed suicide. Jia Lian secretly married Second Sister You, which made her know, and then caused Second Sister You to commit suicide.
Although Wang Xifeng is so notorious and sinful, people can't deny her intelligence. In this big family of several hundred people, only she can do everything. Dealing with extremely complicated personnel relations, only she can borrow from the east and borrow from the west to cope with the numerous expenses that can't make ends meet. She is discerning in dealing with the various drawbacks and crises of Jia's family, and shows her courage and ability to do great things everywhere. < P > So in the fifth judgment, she wrote that "every bird who comes from the last days knows how to love this life. It is even more sad to cry to Jinling." The most talented people can't escape the fate of "a thousand red flowers cry, and Wan Yan shares the same sorrow".----------------This luxurious and gorgeous Wang Xifeng with complex personality is just like a mixture of drugs and medicine, which is more appropriate than poppy.
Picture: an iceberg with a female phoenix on it.
all birds who come from the last days know that they love this life. It's even more sad to cry to Jinling when you obey two orders and three people are stunned.
[ Notes]
This song is written by Wang Xifeng.
1. Every bird-collectively, it is the word "phoenix", so name it. Shi Shuo Xin Yu Jian Ao said: In the Jin Dynasty, Lu An once visited Ji Kang, but Ji Kang was not at home. His brother invited guests to sit in the house, but Lu An did not enter and wrote the word "Feng" on the door. Ji Kang's brother was very happy, thinking that the guests said he was a god bird. In fact, Lv An laughed at him as an ordinary bird. Here, in turn, we say "phoenix" for "every bird", just for the sake of concealing some songs.
2. "One obedience" sentence-Because I don't know the ending space of Wang Xifeng in the manuscript, there are various speculations about this sentence. Fat criticism says "the method of separating characters". It means to take the words apart, but it doesn't say how to take them apart. Some people say that "Erling" is "cold" and "three-person wood" is "Qin" (the lower half is "he" rather than "wood"), and it is not like that. Mr. Wu Enyu said in Ten Notes on Cao Xueqin: "At first, Xifeng obeyed Jia Lian, and then she could issue a decree to Jia Lian, and finally she was defeated." Therefore, it is more sad to cry to Jinling. " Studying the clues provided by Zhi Pi, it is credible that Xifeng was later abandoned by Jia Lian. "King Jinling" is her maiden, which is consistent with the last sentence. The "iceberg" in the painting means that the position of monopolizing power is difficult to last. "Zi Zhi Tong Jian Tang Xuanzong Tianbao Eleven Years" said: Some people advised Zhang Xun to visit Yang Guozhong in order to seek treasure. Zhang said: "Your generation leans on Yang and your right is similar to Mount Tai. I think it's an iceberg. If the bright day comes out, will your generation have nothing to rely on? " "Female phoenix" means that she is widowed and lonely.
A Dream of Red Mansions
Clever and tired
The organ was too clever, but it killed Qingqing! My heart was broken before my death, but I was ethereal after my death. If the rich family is peaceful, there will eventually be a family, and the family will be scattered. It's a waste of time to hang on for half a lifetime, and it's like a dream of a long night. Suddenly, it is like a building falling, and it is like a lamp going out. Ah! A joy and sorrow. Sighing the world, it is hard to decide!
[ Description]
This piece of music is written by Wang Xifeng. The title of the song is "Smart and Tired", which means to be troubled by cleverness and to be clever and make mistakes. Su Shi's poem "Washing Children" in the Northern Song Dynasty said: "Everyone raises his son to be smart, and I was delayed by being smart all my life. I only hope that the child is stupid and honest, and there is no disaster and no difficulty in reaching the public. "
[ Note]
1. The second sentence of "organ"-I was too clever to plan and calculate, but even my own life was calculated. Organ, scheming, conspiracy politics. Qingqing, the language version of Shi Shuo Xin Yu Confused and Drowned, was later used as a kind of intimate title between couples and friends. This refers to Wang Xifeng
2. The afterlife is ethereal-the plot based on it is unknown. Judging from the basic facts that can be known, the most likely thing that makes Xi's eyes closed is that she was worried about the fate of her daughter Jia Qiaojie until her death. "Soul after death" is a superstition.
3. Pentium-here is to describe the way when disaster strikes, each of them is looking for a way out.
4. The mind is in suspense-a mental state that you can't let go of your heart at all times.
[ Appreciation]
Wang Xifeng is the actual ruling party of the Jia family. She presided over the Rong-guo mansion, assisted the Ning-guo mansion, and was the traffic official, doing whatever she wanted. This is a very political figure, not a housewife of an ordinary aristocratic family. Her distinctive feature is "playing politics", grasping power with one hand and money with the other, which fully shows the power lust and greed of the exploiting class. Wang Xifeng is not only a person, but also represents a class. It is not only Wang Xifeng's personal fate, but also the image portrayal of the dying feudal class and the complete collapse of the reactionary social system they represent.
"The agency was too clever, but it killed Qingqing!" These two sentences tell the law of * * * of all reactionary classes that are heading for decline. Wang Xifeng is the leading "last-time talent" among the four big families. During her short years in power, she did her best to change the situation and be cruel and mean, and created many evils. Several people died directly at her hands. But all this only prepared the conditions for her own final collapse.
according to Cao Xueqin's original intention, the ending of this Jiamen female bully is very bad. We can know from the criticism that the second half of the manuscript has the following plots:
First, she was convicted and left home, and she and Baoyu were in the prison temple (where she was waiting for a crime, not a prison). The reason was nothing more than the revelation of her wicked deeds such as collecting money and killing people. For example, in the case of "playing tricks on the iron threshold temple", forcing an unmarried couple to commit suicide and enjoying a section of 3,2 pieces of silver by themselves, the fat group pointed out: "How to cancel the payment, the manufacturer does not know, but he knows." "If you don't have to write about it in detail, you will know what he did in his life. When you look back, it's no wonder that he was miserable." (Back to the sixteenth) When she was away from home, Granny Liu met her in the prison temple (the forty-second batch of Jing Cang Ben). In addition, Xiao Hong, Qian Xue and others met Xifeng in the prison temple.
second, sweep the snow with a broom in the Grand View Garden. This is when she was convicted of going out and going back to Jiafu after some twists and turns. Zhi Pi said: In front of the hall of Yee Hong Courtyard, "it will be the place where Xifeng sweeps snow and picks up jade" (the 23rd time).
3. Being abandoned by her husband, she "cried to Jinling" at her parents' home. From the twenty-first fat batch, she found out that her husband had hidden many girls' hair (batch: "wonderful. Pinger was supposed to take it away, so it wouldn't leak again, so Jia Lian was still used to get it back, and the later text was lost before it could be inserted. " ) was a fuse, and her husband used it to fall out and abandon it. At that time, Xifeng was "slightly ill-fated" and could only endure humiliation, which was a far cry from the "A Feng Ying Qi" when Qiao Pinger saved Jia Lian with soft words. So the second half of that time was called "Wang Xifeng, a Strong Hero in know life".
fourth, looking back on the pain, I died short-lived. You's wife said to Xi-feng, "I'll take the messenger in the coffin tomorrow." Fat criticism: "This statement is true, and it will be short-lived after lying down." (the 43rd time)
In a word, Xifeng's tragic ending was a bitter result, and it was not that the fortunes of the world were uncertain.
Wang Xifeng-the character in A Dream of Red Mansions, the wife of Jia Lian and the niece of Mrs. Wang. He has a pair of red phoenix triangle eyes, two curved willow leaves hanging eyebrows, slim figure and coquettish physique. She is smart and capable, won the trust of the Lady Dowager and Lady Wang, and became the actual butler of the Jia family. She lives on the throne of the housekeeper of several hundred people in Jia's family. Her eloquence and power are her weapons to flatter her superiors and deludes her subordinates, and her purpose is to seize power and steal wealth. She did everything in her power to change her mind and be cruel and mean. Although a dude like Jia Rui deserved to die, the cruelty of revenge can also be seen in the "poison-setting acacia bureau". In order to bribe 3,2 pieces of silver, the "Tiesill Temple" forced the daughter of the Zhang family and a son of a garrison to commit suicide. You Erjie and the fetus in her belly were also killed by Wang Xifeng in the most cunning and vicious way. She openly declared: "I never believe in what the netherworld deserves. Why, I'll just say yes!" She is extremely greedy. In addition to asking for bribes, she also lends money by delaying the monthly payment of public expenses. This alone has turned out hundreds or even thousands of silver for personal gain. When the property was ransacked, 5, to 7, gold and a box of loan vouchers were copied from her room. What Wang Xifeng did was undoubtedly accelerating the decline of the Jia family, and finally ended up as "the agency was too clever to calculate the life of Qing Qing".
The artistic image of Wang Xifeng in A Dream of Red Mansions is rich and complicated. Since the publication of A Dream of Red Mansions, there have been many comments on Wang Xifeng in the history of redology. She is regarded as a "capable minister in managing the world and a traitor in troubled times", and Wang Xifeng is called a "female Cao Cao" and a "rouge tiger", that is, a tigress. In many comments, it is "hate Wang Xifeng, scold Wang Xifeng, but miss Wang Xifeng", which is probably a feeling that every lover of A Dream of Red Mansions will have.
The character Wang Xifeng plays an important role in A Dream of Red Mansions, and it can be said that this image is unique. She has a supporting function, a focusing function in the sense of artistic structure and artistic body, or a radiating function. Because A Dream of Red Mansions is not only about the love and marriage between Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu, but also about more than 4 characters in this big family. Without Wang Xifeng, what would be the result of A Dream of Red Mansions? It can be said that if the intricate interpersonal relationships of the Jia family, such as seniority, seniority, intimacy, modesty, master and slave, are compared to a net, then the character Wang Xifeng is in a relatively central position. Thus highlighting the uniqueness of this character image, she has to deal with all kinds of characters, the so-called three levels of in-laws, including countless uncles, sisters-in-law brothers and sisters and even aunts, maids and concubines, and a large group of housekeepers at the lower level to accompany slaves, maids and pages, and so on. The relationship between Wang Xifeng and any one of them is either connected or contradictory, or both connected and contradictory, which is a reflection of a certain social relationship. Supposedly, in the whole Jia family, Wang Xifeng's seniority is very low. She is a grandson's daughter-in-law, so why can a character like Wang Xifeng come to take charge? This reason, or the result of the development of various contradictions. She has the background of "King Jinling", the backing of Jia, the contradiction of Mrs. Xing and Wang, and, of course, the subjective conditions of her own talent desire. At the same time, Wang Xifeng was pushed to the crater and became the target of public criticism. The result of many old contradictions became the cause of new contradictions. She is an extremely complicated character! It can be said that Wang Xifeng summed up all kinds of contradictions, a kind of housework that parents manage short, the so-called uncle and sister-in-law, mother-in-law and so on, which is not like that. Because in China's feudal patriarchal society, home and country are isomorphic, and have always been connected by the same vein, and home is a simplified form of country. The ups and downs of power, factional strife and factional strife in the feudal emperor's "home world" can be seen in the family. Therefore, from that Wang Xifeng, the contradictions that focus on her, or that she radiates out, give people a sense of depth and cannot be regarded as a family contradiction. In terms of the breadth of social life that Wang Xifeng, an artistic image, can tolerate, it is also beyond the reach of other images, for example, such a detail as lending money and earning interest. Wang Xifeng took out the money that month to lend usury. In the novel, it was written more than once. Pinger said, "If you say less every year, you have to dig out 1, pieces of silver." Even the amount is very specific. It is impossible to put such economic details on other people. For example, the old lady won't do such a thing, disdaining to do such a thing, and the young lady doesn't manage money at all, so only Wang Xifeng can bear it. Therefore, the social tentacles of the image of Wang Xifeng are the longest, which can go beyond the walls of Jiafu, extend to the government, to Buddhism, to the court, etc. That is to say, the artistic image of Wang Xifeng is irreplaceable and indispensable in terms of reflecting the depth and breadth of life. Without Wang Xifeng, A Dream of Red Mansions will be greatly weakened in its reflection of the depth and breadth of life, and even it will not be called A Dream of Red Mansions.
Wang Xifeng's "tough hand" is manifested in more situations and more occasions as showing off power and abusing punishment. In this respect, there are many descriptions in A Dream of Red Mansions. What's her usual way of punishing the girl? She said, "Kneeling in the sun with a ceramic tile, no tea and rice", "Even if it's made of iron, it'll be confessed in one day." When she found out that the little girl who kept watch for Jia Lian, she ordered her to "take a rope whip and smash her little hoof without a master", and threatened her to brand her mouth with a red-hot iron and cut the meat with a knife, and immediately pulled out the hair clasp to poke the little girl's mouth. This kind of hair clasp is called a boudoir torture device, which is very painful to poke people. She slapped the little girl with a slap in the face immediately. Besides, when you were in Qingxu Guan, a little Taoist priest, who was really a child, accidentally ran into Wang Xifeng, and Wang Xifeng slapped him with the hand so that the little Taoist priest could not stand. In this place, Wang Xifeng's hand is heavy, hard and fast, which is worthy of the name "difficult". Among the masters of Jia Fu, it is rare to see people who personally make moves like this. In people's eyes, like those of the little girls and little monks, it's really scary. At this time, Wang Xifeng is really like a demon. No wonder some slaves curse her behind her back, saying that she is a "bitch" and a "hag star". At this time, the so-called "war determination" has a new air conditioning, which really makes people shudder.
Here you can also cite the famous "Iron Threshold Temple for Playing Power". In this plot, Lao Ni asked Wang Xifeng to do this. Wang Xifeng has a famous saying, which is often quoted by people. Wang Xifeng said that I "never believe in what goes around in the underworld. I just said I would do it." This sentence is often quoted by everyone, and some people think that Wang Xifeng is not superstitious. Indeed, this sentence sounds very heroic, that is, ghosts and gods are irresistible, and there is such boldness, but it is a pity that this boldness is used in evil. Here, it's not that Wang Xifeng is not superstitious. Like ordinary women, she is also a god of plague, naming her daughter for happiness. It doesn't mean that she is not superstitious, but that she is ungodly, with no scruples and no scruples. She can do whatever it takes to achieve her goals, regardless of the consequences. So it's clear in this place that she is "playing politics". If we say, "associate with Ningguo House", The paragraph "Tiesill Temple" said that she was playing politics. Outside her house, she colluded with the government and relied on power to deceive the superiors in the house. In the name of Jia Lian, Jia Lian made such a dirty deal unnoticed, which Jia Lian did not know. If we say that "assisting Ning Guofu" means "using power", and power depends on coercion and coercion, then here it is.
