When you read Dream of Red Mansions for the first time, it is easy to inadvertently let go of many details and lose a lot of the purpose of reading. When you connect the background of the article before and after and then taste the connection, you will feel more and more interesting and interesting in life.
For example, the "second girl" only occupies less than 1 page in the whole **, and she doesn't even have a name, but it affects the theme of the whole **, which fully demonstrates the ingenuity of the author Cao Xueqin's conception and writing.
One of the mysteries, I don't know who her surname is, but through the mouth of the old woman: "Second girl, come here!" He reluctantly gave her a title. In her work, she belongs to the unknown.
The second mystery is that although she is called a "girl", she is not a real girl, but a lively rural girl with many brothers and sisters, and the younger brother can be held in her arms, but there is a feeling of "big sister". And the real girl, like Raider, Ping'er, etc., has never been called a "girl", false and true.
The third mystery, the "two" of "two girls", can be described as a stroke of genius. Why "two"?
First of all, Jia Baoyu "loves" her very much, Qin Zhong wanted to tease the "second girl", but Jia Baoyu protected her: "Damn it!" If you talk nonsense again, I'll fight. "When parting," Baoyu wanted to follow him. "Reluctantly, there is a great sense of parting between lovers. We know that Shi Xiangyun was originally called Jia Baoyu "Second Brother", but because Mandarin is not standard enough, "Second Brother" has become "Love Brother", "Er" and "Love" are basically the same sound, so "Er Girl" is actually "Love Girl".
Secondly, the need for strong contrasts. The "second lady" of Jiafu is Yingchun, as the daughter of the princess, but she is cowardly by nature and lives a nest to the top, and was finally tortured to death by the "Zhongshan wolf". And the "second girl" in the village was generous and bold, shouting to stop the spinning wheel of the son's brother Jia Baoyu: "Don't move!" After being stopped by the little guys, she was not afraid of obscenity, disgusted and "ordered" them: "You guys will do this, stand away, I'll spin it for you." "It is full of vigorous, open-minded vitality.
Finally, it embodies the essence of traditional culture. "One" is too full, but "three", "two" is just right, reflecting the way of yin and yang, the most "modest", is the source of hope.
The fourth mystery, the existence of the "two girls", shows the future of Sister Qiao. After Jia's mansion was raided, Jia's house was "scattered" and was wiped out, "the white land is really clean." Sister Feng's daughter, Sister Qiao, was almost sold, but fortunately, Grandma Liu, who was despised by the ladies as a "mother locust", took her to the countryside and saved a little fresh hope. When Sister Qiao wanted to leave the countryside, just like Baoyu was going to leave the "second girl", she was "reluctant". The future of the rich daughter has actually gone to the destination of the "second girl". The humble countryside preserves the last hope in the world.
The fifth mystery is that the words and deeds of the "two girls" are the real "village dialect". The whole book of "Dream of Red Mansions" is summed up in four words, which is the code word "fake village dialect" of the last 120th dialogue between Kongkongdao and Cao Xueqin. False words, of course, are intended to cover up. The village dialect only has Grandma Liu and the "two girls", and the "village dialect" of the "two girls" represents the dualistic relationship between the countryside and the city, and it is the antithetical aspect of decay - the new life, which is the author's cherished "village dialect".
Therefore, "Two Girls" is another paradise created by Cao Xueqin, where there is a simple discipline, vigorous vitality, and a free-spirited life, which is the "refuge" of the Miserables World and the "Noah's Ark" when the flood comes. It is also the most vivid footnote to the sentence "The lowly are the smartest, and the noble are the stupidest".
