Jia Yuanchun was hanged in prison, and his death was horrible, and the author summed up his life in 16 words
I believe that many people have read the four famous works in Chinese history, which represent the pinnacle of creation at that time. People cannot but compare these four famous works, and it is generally believed that "Dream of Red Mansions" is the one with the highest level of creation, the most profound thoughts, and the most moving. Don't look at this ** just describes the joys and sorrows of Jiafu, it allows us to see the rise and fall of a big family, and at the same time, it also allows us to understand the darkness and corruption of the society at that time, but the rise and fall of Jiafu has nothing to do with the darkness and corruption of society.
However, the rise and fall of Jia Fu has nothing to do with the darkness and corruption of society. The rise and fall of Jiafu is closely related to one person, and this person is Jia Yuanchun. As a concubine at the time, she brought great glory to the family. However, her personal fate was very tragic. During her captivity, she was strangled to death with a bow and arrow, and the horrific death was chilling, and the author Cao Xueqin used only 16 words to portray her image vividly.
In ** "Dream of Red Mansions", a large part of the reason why Jiafu was able to rise was because of the very famous character in Jiafu - Jia Yuanchun. As the eldest daughter of Jiafu, Jia Yuanchun has been carefully cultivated and nurtured since she was a child, and has become a talented and outstanding lady. With his own conditions and strong family background, Jia Yuanchun later entered the palace as an official.
And this was only the beginning of her rise, her outstanding talent combined with outstanding appearance soon attracted the attention of the emperor. So, the emperor asked her to become his concubine more directly, and became the emperor's concubine step by step. At this point, Jia Yuanchun can be said to be an extremely noble person, and Jia Yuanchun's family has become a relative of the emperor, and the status of the family has also improved.
At this time, Jiafu seized the opportunity to further develop and grow, whether it was family or wealth, and gradually reached the peak stage. That's right"Hardship and hardship, Yuru is successful"。In feudal society, no matter how brilliant the family, it will eventually collapse. The rise and fall of the Jia family's fortunes is inevitably related to Jia Yuanchun.
With the death of Jia Yuanchun's concubine, the disaster of the Jia family came. Not only was it crushed by other forces, but even the palace was attacked. The members of the Jia family died one after another, and the once prosperous Jia family was reduced to ashes. This is mainly due to the loss of Jia Yuanchun's protection.
Perhaps many people envy Jia Yuanchun's fate, she was not only born in a famous family, but also became the emperor's wife. This is what any woman dreams of in the old feudal society, but for Jia Yuanchun, this is both a blessing and a curse. Although God gave her a fate different from that of mortals, and made her prosperous and wealthy throughout her life, this noble status also has a price.
After Jia Yuanchun entered the palace, he completely lost his personal freedom. He could not leave the palace without the emperor's permission, and he did not have the opportunity to return home to visit his relatives for a year. For example, in "Dream of Red Mansions", it is recorded that Concubine Yuan's relatives in the countryside came back in the middle of the night, and when she went home, she just took a casual look and exchanged a few words, and the relatives at home left immediately. It seems that after Jia Yuanchun became the emperor's concubine, many things were excluded, and even the sophistication of relatives was strictly restricted.
Judging from the description of Jia Yuanchun, she is not a very good person, she wants to take time to talk to her family and wait to meet her family with great fanfare. She didn't like this kind of scene, after all, as a princess, such a scene was too grand for her. And when she returned home, the relatives around her did not regard her as a member of the family, but as the glory of the family.
Therefore, Jia Yuanchun felt that these relatives who had accompanied him since childhood were becoming more and more unfamiliar to him. In addition, judging from Jia Yuanchun's personality traits and the description of her personal life in **, her life in the palace does not seem to be good**. In order to survive in the palace, she always has to pay attention to a lot of problems and details, and if she is not careful, she will die.
And when she became a concubine, there was no one close to her. In such an environment, she may not even have a close friend, and the only one she can rely on is herself. The people in Jiafu didn't care about her bitter and happy life, and she could only silently endure this experience of loneliness, loneliness, and troubles in the palace.
Everyone was happy to have such a concubine in the family, but soon after, Jia Yuanchun died suddenly and abnormally, which was undoubtedly the loss of the highest pillar of Jiafu. As the story develops, Jiafu gradually declined, the main force was banned, and the Qing palace was liquidated.
The fate of Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu and others in later stories may have left a deep impression on many people. However, they ignored a very important question, that is, why did Jia Yuanchun, as a concubine, die?In order to answer this question, the author Cao Xueqin described the tragic situation after Jia Yuanchun's death in just 16 words, and gave some clues.
In **, the author commented on Jia Yuanchun like this:"His eyes were wide open, and he threw everything away;His eyes slowly fluttered, devouring his soul"。The author's evaluation of Jia Yuanchun is obviously full of regret and sadness. In addition to this judgment, the author also drew a bow intended to imply that people were strangled by a bow.
But in today's Red Society research, there is also another version that they believe that in ancient times, the bow and arrow were the quickest and quickest way to kill people. But this does not mean that Jia Yuanchun was strangled to death with a bow and arrow, after all, as a concubine at that time, if she was killed in this way, it would definitely cause an uproar. Obviously, another reason for Jia Yuanchun's death was that she was pregnant with the emperor's child, so the other concubines deliberately killed her, to put it bluntly, she died in the palace fight.
Although Jia Yuanchun does not have many scenes in the whole "Dream of Red Mansions", her role in the whole ** is extremely important. It's a pity that his fate is the same as the fate of the Jia family, and a tragic ending cannot be avoided. The importance of Jia Yuanchun's character may lie in the fact that she influenced the development of the story and revealed the darkness and cruelty of the feudal dynasty at that time.
