In the magnificent Grand View Garden in "Dream of Red Mansions", every ripple of emotion seems to be able to stir up ripples in the long river of history, especially the subtle interaction between Jia Baoyu and the attacker.
In people's eyes, this is not just a page of understatement of garden trivialities, but also an emotional drama deeply embedded in the social and cultural texture of the time.
However, some people think about what kind of deep meaning is behind the fact that in that era of feudal etiquette and religion, the attacker did not refuse Jia Baoyu's closeness, but chose to "hide his face and smile".
I believe that many people think that in the book "Dream of Red Mansions", the emotional entanglement between Jia Baoyu and the attacker is the most delicate.
In this great work of classical literature, the expression of emotions is far from straightforward, but full of subtlety and deep meaning in the context of the times. The reaction of the attacker when Jia Baoyu first tried the cloud and rain is a typical embodiment of this complex emotion.
In fact, as a maid, her social status determines that she has no right to refuse to a large extent. Because, in the hierarchical concept of feudal society at that time, maids were the private property of the masters, and it was precisely because of this that their ideas were often ignored.
Therefore, in this context, even if the attacker resists in her heart, it is difficult to show it, because it may lead to serious consequences, and for the attacker, if she refuses, it may not only affect her own life, but may even endanger her life.
Secondly, the reason why the attacker "hides his face and laughs" is actually an expression of complex emotions.
In fact, in "Dream of Red Mansions", the attacker has deep feelings for Jia Baoyu, and her laughter may also be a gentle response to Jia Baoyu's youthful love, or it may be a helplessness for her inability to resist fate.
From the description, we can know that there are tears in the laughter, both the comfort of Baoyu's emotions and the lament of his fate.
In addition to this, the attack may also be a way to ease the tension. In those days, sex was an extremely private and non-public topic, especially for women.
The sloping smile is an instinctive reaction of her as a woman in the face of her first sexual experience, which is not only a tender gesture to Baoyu, but also a mechanism for self-protection.
Finally, we can't ignore that every detail in "Dream of Red Mansions" is carefully designed by the author, in fact, this reaction is also a deep meaning that the author wants to express. This implicit expression aims to reveal the complexity of human nature and the oppression of women in feudal society.
To sum up, the reason why the attacker did not refuse when Jia Baoyu tried the cloud and rain for the first time, and "hid his face and smiled" was because he was affected by many factors.
This is not only a limitation of social status and the background of the times, but also a manifestation of people's personal feelings, as well as the deep social critique conveyed by the author through this detail.
In addition, the discussion of the status of women in Dream of Red Mansions also reflects the author's critique of gender discrimination in feudal society. Women were bound and oppressed in feudal society, lacking autonomy and equal status.
