Bailuyuan is a literary work with profound connotations, and the image of Tian Xiao'e is even more thought-provoking. However, why Lusan killed Tian Xiao'e has always been a mystery in the minds of readers. Through in-depth analysis, we can find that there are many reasons why Lu San killed Tian Xiao'e.
First of all, Lu San, as a peasant in the White Deer Plain, was deeply bound by feudal etiquette. At that time, feudal etiquette had strict norms and restrictions on people's thoughts and behaviors. Lu San believes that Tian Xiao'e's behavior violates feudal etiquette, and her elopement and adultery with Heiwa are serious impacts on traditional morality. In Lu San's view, Tian Xiao'e's existence is a defilement of the entire Bailuyuan and a challenge to feudal etiquette. Therefore, in order to maintain feudal etiquette and traditional morality, Lu San chose to kill Tian Xiao'e, thus eliminating the threat to feudal etiquette. Secondly, Lu San's killing of Tian Xiao'e is also related to his jealousy and hatred of Heiwa. In the White Deer Plain, Heiwa is one of Lusan's competitors. Heiwa not only has a stronger body and superb hunting skills than Lu San, but he is also Tian Xiao'e's beloved man. This made Lu San feel a huge threat and jealousy. In Lu San's view, Tian Xiao'e's relationship with Heiwa is not only an act of adultery, but also a provocation to his dignity as a man. Therefore, in order to take revenge on Heiwa and eliminate his jealousy, Lusan chose to kill Tian Xiao'e, so that Heiwa could also taste the pain of losing her beloved woman. In the end, Lu San's killing of Tian Xiao'e was also out of loyalty and maintenance to Bailuyuan. In Bailuyuan, land and family are the foundation of people's lives. For Lu San, Bailu Yuan is his home and his life. However, Tian Xiao'e and Heiwa's behavior had a great negative impact on Bailuyuan. Their adultery and elopement tarnished Bailuyuan's reputation, which was unacceptable to Lusan. Therefore, in order to maintain the honor of Bailuyuan and the honor of the family, Lusan chose to kill Tian Xiao'e, thus eliminating the threat to Bailuyuan and the family. To sum up, there are many reasons why Lu San killed Tian Xiao'e. His deep shackles of feudal etiquette, jealousy and hatred for Heiwa, and loyalty and maintenance of Bailuyuan were all factors that prompted him to make this decision. Through in-depth analysis of these reasons, we can better understand the social background and characters reflected in this work, and at the same time, we can better understand the complexity and multifaceted nature of human nature.
