What kind of mentality does the criticism of Qin Keqing s death reflect when he writes forgiveness

Looking back on the thirteenth round, there is such a comment: "Qin Keqing mourned Tianxianglou, and the author used a historical pen." Because the old man has a soul to entrust Sister Feng to the Jia family, how can it be that people who are rich and honored can think of it?Although the matter was not leaked, its words and its meaning were sad and convincing, and he forgave him and deleted it because of his order. ”

Judging from this passage, it should be that the critic of the book should see the benefits of Qin Keqing's dream and the future of the Jia family after his death, so that the author Qinxi (generally believed to be Cao Xueqin) deleted the unbearable plot of Qin Keqing's "obscene funeral Tianxianglou", and saved a little face for Qin Keqing and the Jia family.

The identity of this terratosus is unknown. From his comments "There are things, there are people", "This time it has not been done and it has passed away, sigh!".From other places, he has a very close relationship with Cao Xueqin and has common memories of his past life. They are also confidants in the text, and he influenced and even participated in the writing of "Dream of Red Mansions" to a certain extent, such as "Fate Qinxi Deleted": such an important plot, he asked Cao Xueqin to delete it.

From this point of view, Tewat Suo has a deep relationship with the Cao family, and it may be Cao Xueqin's elders, clan uncles and the like. "Dream of Red Mansions" has a rather autobiographical color, and many important plots are actual events that the author has experienced, or have happened among relatives. For example, Qin Keqing may be a relative of the Cao family. Her **, the Cao family must be ashamed. Writing her in the work also has the meaning of "verbal criticism".

However, the author arranged in the work that Qin Keqing would dream after his death. "There are as many people as possible in Jiafu, who are rich and honorable, and there is no one who plans and plots", no matter whether the characters are good or bad, whether the character is good or bad, they are all drunk and dreaming of death. Although this Qin Keqing does not cultivate his personal virtues, he is the only one who thinks about the future of Jiafu.

Therefore, Tewat Suo asked Cao Xueqin to delete her "obscenity" and embarrassment, leaving a little room for this character, so that she could avoid the infamy of "adulteress" - that is, "forgiveness".

Of course, Tat Wat is an elder, after all, he is not the author himself, and it is only up to the author to decide to rewrite the work, especially to change the major plots. Cao Xueqin probably also agreed with Tewassuo's opinion, and did not want to write Qin Keqing too explicitly, so she deleted the plot of "Lewd Funeral Tianxianglou".

However, Cao Xueqin is still unwilling to write the characters simplistic, one-sided, and face-painted, so after deleting the plot that directly describes "obscenity", she still retains the side of Qin Keqing's style.

Qin Keqing was born in a family of small officials, and she was an only daughter when she was young, so she must have been deeply lovedWhen she grew up, she had a younger brother, but she was adopted, and her adoptive mother died early, and her relationship with her mother's family was bound to plummetThe Qin family is poor, and they have been looked down upon by the slave relatives of Jiafu, and they also have many requirements for their in-laws and daughters, forcing Qin Keqing to be "Fan Shengmei" and "Brother Demon". And Jia Zhen, who covers the sky with one hand in Ning Guo's mansion, can just meet all the requirements of Qin Keqing and the Qin family.

Qin Keqing, who is good at style and looks like the moon", was pushed into the clutches of Jia Zhen in this way. She is the "root of the loser" and the culprit of destroying the family style, but she also has her hardships and her embarrassments.

"Forgiveness" reflects the complex feelings of the author and the critic about Qin Keqing's prototype and literary image.
