Although the girls in "Dream of Red Mansions" are divided into one, two, and three, the actual dividends are different.
The girls who serve their masters are naturally decent, and the girls who are assigned to work everywhere are inferior.
But a girl is a girl, even if she is like a mandarin duck and an attacker, in terms of decency and power, she is not as good as a housekeeper and a deacon. This is the class division of the girls in Jiafu.
Specific to everyone, according to the rules of Jiafu, they are also called "girls", such as Mandarin Duck Girl, Assault Girl and Qingwen Girl.
"Girl" is also the honorific title of Jiafu, not only used by girls, but also called girls. For example, the third girl, Miss Lin, Miss Bao, etc.
But did you know that the same name "girl" actually means the same?
I am Jun Jian Yakan Red Mansion, and I will tell you about those things in "Dream of Red Mansions".
The "girl" in Jiafu has several meanings, but it is not just a nickname for a young girl.
One, aunt
"Girl" is the common name of aunt, generally called aunt, such as Wang Xifeng's first appearance, when talking about Lin Daiyu's mother Jia Min, he said, "I just pity my sister for being so miserable, why did my aunt die!" ”
But when Wang Xifeng made trouble in Ningguo's mansion, Jia Zhen saw Sister Feng killing, and pushed her son Jia Rong out to prevent the disaster very unjustly, and what she said in her mouth was, "Serve your girls and tell them to kill animals and prepare meals." ”
In addition, after Qingwen took Shen'er away, Shen'er's mother came in to express her dissatisfaction, mentioning, "What's wrong with the girls, your niece is not good, you teach him, how to get out?" In the end, give us a face. The girl here also means "aunt", and Shen'er is a generation younger than Qingwen.
There is also "the willow leaf Zhu side of the warbler surprised the swallow", Chunyan mentioned that the flowers and plants on the willow leaf and Zhu side of the Grand View Garden are all under the management ......of her "girl".Wait a minute.
"Girl" means aunt and aunt.
Two, Miss
The second meaning of "girl" is naturally the honorific title of young ladies.
Jiafu Sanchun is called the second girl, the third girl, and the fourth girl.
Miss Lin Daiyu is Miss Lin, and Xue Baochai is Miss Bao.
Wang Xifeng called Miss Feng ......
These "girls" are all honorific titles for young lady. It represents the meaning of "the young lady of so-and-so".
Jia Tanchun's three girls refer to the three ladies of Rongguo Mansion.
Lin Daiyu's Miss Lin refers to the eldest lady of Lin Ruhai's family.
Xue Baochai's treasure girl is the nickname of Miss Xue Jiafang.
This "girl" is to describe the young ladies who have not yet come out of the cabinet. Once you get married, it is often more appropriate to call "aunt and grandmother". Only their own family members will be nicknamed girls.
And "girl" is also an "official title" to the outside world, at that time, most girls did not have names, and "a few girls from a certain family" became a pronoun. It's not that she is called Miss.
Miss is only used when you are relatively unfamiliar and polite, such as asking Madame Miss how is it.
And when his family mentioned to the outside world, he couldn't use Miss, so he politely called "Mrs., girls" how to ......
Three, the girl's salutation
Since "girl" represents the honorific title of aunt and miss, it was delegated to the folk term for young unmarried girls.
This is like "wife", which used to be the honorific title of the mother and wife of **, but later became the "title" of the wife, giving up the slightly degrading humble titles such as "clumsy" and "cheap".
Each of the girls in Jiafu can be called "girls" by the minions who are also servants. But in fact, none of them are "girls", just an honorific title. It's a bit like everyone calls "beauty" nowadays. Belonging is a kind of politeness, not a representation of identity and status.
It's like Mingyan calling the little matchmaker, "Good girl, you go in and bring a letter, and say that the second master on the corridor is here." ”
Little Red Girl, it's definitely not a status, it's just a polite and respectful statement.
But when Jia Baoyu, the lesson of Lin Zhixiao's family, called the attacker, he said: "At these times, I heard that the second master had changed the words in his mouth, and he drove these big girls to call their names." ”
Although this "big girl" is still a polite title, it has a prefix, which refers to the girls (girls) who serve around the old ladies and wives.
In fact, the "girls" who attacked these girls are all fake "girls", and the real "girls" are the "titles" corresponding to the "aunts". Strictly speaking, the only person who can be called a "girl" in Jiafu is Ping'er.
Fourth, the girl in the room
The girl in Jiafu is really given the title of "girl", only Ping'er.
Miss Ping'er is very different from the girl who attacked people.
The girl who attacked people is an honorific title, kind words.
Ping'er's girl is the job title, representing status and status, all because Ping'er is a big girl in the room.
Girl, is the title of the girl in the room, corresponding to the title of the aunt's concubine.
Girls and aunts both refer to the concubines of the male hostess.
The aunt "was recognized by her parents, especially the main wife, and was given an official status to the family and became a concubine in a separate room."
The girl "got the approval of the wife but did not divide the room, and still communicated with the man's room, only the concubine actually did not give the concubine the title, and she was still a girl in the room."
Therefore, in terms of title, the concubine represents the person who is promoted to the "wife" side, and she must be called aunt. Tongfang failed to obtain the identity of the "wife" side, and she is still a member of her husband's family, so she can only be called a girl.
The expression of the aunt and the girl represents the reality of the ancients taking concubines and wives dominating.
The status of concubines was recognized, and it was officially recognized as secure.
The status of intercourse is only a verbal promise, and there is no guarantee given to concubines.
The aunt is half the master, and the girl is just a girl.
But even so, the status of the girl who has sex is still much higher than that of ordinary girls.
(Chapter 31) Qingwen listened to him"us"Two words, naturally, it was him and Baoyu, and he unconsciously added sourness, sneered a few times, and said: "....Ming said fairly, even a girl hasn't earned it yet, and it's just like me, and it's called there'us'Finish! The face of the attacker turned purple in shame, and when he thought about it, it turned out that he had said the wrong thing.The attacker was sarcastically ridiculed by Qingwen and even "the girl hasn't earned it yet", that is, she is not connected to the girl, but she secretly tried Yunyu with Jia Baoyu to be unruly and shameless, and the attacker was speechless.
Therefore, there are four kinds of "girl" titles, each of which is different, and you can't use it wrong. Especially those girls, they all seem to be called girls, not only are they very different from Miss's girls, but they are also different from Ping'er's girls.
The above views are sorted out and inferred from the story clues before the 80th episode of "Dream of Red Mansions".
