The collection of "Menghualu" reveals Song Yinzhang'sVirgin bodyInsulting women
Song Yinzhang saw Gu Qianfan and Zhao Paner's intimate embrace by chance, and his heart was as complicated as turning over the river and the sea. She was curious about their relationship, but she was too shy to ask.
So, she tentatively asked Sun Sanniang if the score of "Liangzhou Daquan" given to her by Deputy Envoy Gu was lost, would he blame her? Sun Sanniang replied frankly: "The two of them have already made a marriage, and a music score is nothing." ”
Hearing the news, Song Yinzhang said, "Really? That's great", but my heart was full of jealousy and anger: why did everyone know it, but I was the only one?
Am I not as good as Zhao Paner?
Song Yinzhang jumped on the boat angrily, leaving behind the hardships with Zhao Paner and Sun Sanniang, as well as the responsibility for the operation of the "half-masked" teahouse, and went straight to Shen Ruzhuo's residence.
This gamble-like behavior confirmed Song Yinzhang's "love brain". Seeing this, I felt very angry, and felt that Song Yinzhang was simply a selfish and nasty ghost.
Has she forgotten how Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang rescued her from Zhou She's hands? Didn't she feel Shen Ruzhuo's hypocrisy towards her, not much different from Zhou She?
As the plot deepened, there were also some voices dissatisfied with Song Yinzhang in the barrage. I initially agreed with them as well, but as the story progressed, I started to notice something was wrong.
Menghualu is set in the Song Dynasty, and Song Yinzhang's identity is an "official prostitute". Excuse me, in the Song Dynasty, did the "official prostitute" have the qualifications of "love brain"? This is simply an insult to Song Yinzhang's IQ.
The things of the wind and snow are often mentioned after they are warm, but for Song Yinzhang, who lives at the bottom, he has no time to think. According to the record of "Seclusive Poetry", Lu Shilong, the **, relied on his identity to often punish and scold official prostitutes, and the official prostitutes wanted to escape but had nowhere to escape.
In the Song Dynasty, the clothing, food, housing, transportation and household registration of official prostitutes were controlled by local officials, and if they wanted to find trouble, they had almost nowhere to hide. As for the statement that "official prostitutes do not sell their bodies", it is even more difficult to realize.
In order to make the officials treat themselves, the official prostitutes had to engage in "fish and water", as Wang Shunu said in "The History of Prostitutes in China", they not only need to be humorous and good at music, but also need to be proficient in "men and women".
Song Yinzhang is not an ordinary woman, she knows how to seek self-liberation in the love of men and women. She once told Zhao Paner in person that her goal was not a certain person, but to change her fate through this person.
She has a good income and a free life every day, which is the lifestyle she pursues. However, in "Menghualu", she has become a "love brain", which is confusing.
Is it because she holds the "golden rice bowl" in her hand and lives a fairy-like life that she has some feelings for men? Or maybe she eloped with Zhou She, and then went to Tokyo to make a private agreement with Shen Ruzhuo for life, all of which is confusing.
In the end, is she an official prostitute in the Song Dynasty, or a rebellious eldest lady from a high-ranking official family? These are all curious.
Although Song Yinzhang is an official prostitute in "Menghualu", she looks down on people who sell their hues, because she sees herself as innocent and pure. She said to Zhao Pan'er: "I am a musician respected by the princes and princes, and I have never looked down on those Israeli singers and prostitutes. ”
This seems to contradict the official prostitute system of the Song Dynasty, because it is impossible for an official prostitute to "sell her art without selling her body". So, how did Song Yinzhang maintain his innocence? Is it like Ying Qin in "Ode to Joy", does he have a special complex for the innocent body of a woman?
If you take a closer look at "Menghualu", you will find that all the women in the play are full of disdain for the women of "Israel". Zhang Hao said: "We eat the emperor's grain by our ability, and we are called cheap by sex." ”
The woman believes that if a woman loses her innocence, she is a person who is a person and should be looked down upon. Even if the official prostitute is disgusted with men, they have to compromise with the officials in order to survive.
Can you say they don't love themselves? They had to do it as long as they wanted to live.
In ancient societies, the status of untouchables was strictly restricted, and they could not intermarry with their loved ones, nor could they change their status. Official prostitutes live a hard life, and in order to change their fate, they have to marry low-status merchants.
This is like the story of Du Shi Niang and the Pipa Girl, in order to get rid of the fate of the bottom, they did not hesitate to scatter their family wealth and marry a businessman as their wives. In "Menghualu", Song Yinzhang eloped with Zhou She in order to change his identity.
She thought that Zhou She would cherish her, but it turned out that Zhou She took a fancy to her rich dowry. In ancient times, a woman needed to prepare a rich dowry to marry, even more than a man's bride price.
The dowry that Su Zhe and Fan Zhongyan prepared for their daughter exceeded the bride price for their son. For ordinary people, having both sons and daughters in the family is a heavy burden.
In ancient times, official prostitutes and ordinary women had different fates. Take Song Yinzhang in "Menghualu" as an example, because she doesn't have too much expenses, she has more and more money in her hands.
However, a person like Zhou She, who did not work hard, could not marry the eldest lady of a rich family, so he could only turn his attention to Song Yinzhang. Song Yinzhang was finally able to escape with the help of Zhao Paner, but she fell into her admiration for Gu Qianfan and her affection for Shen Ruzhuo.
This setting makes many people puzzled, after all, an official prostitute who is loved by the upper class should know more about the world and observe words and feelings, rather than like Song Yinzhang in "Menghualu", like a child who does not understand the world.
Although "Menghualu" is perfect in casting, costuming and scene shooting, the imposition of "purity" on the dusty woman, as well as the "insult" to Song Yinzhang's IQ, make the women in distress deeply regret.
After all, the women of the wind and dust have done their best to survive, and it is really unfair to stab their hearts with "innocence". In general, the fate of official prostitutes is not as rosy as people think, and they are also under a lot of pressure and pain.
Instead of generalizing, we should be more understanding of their situation and give them more sympathy and support.
