From the Qin Dynasty to the Ming and Qing dynasties, each era has its own unique cultural legends worth savoring. Among them, there are some cultural essences that we can learn from, but there are also some cultural dross that we need to identify and distinguish.
These precious cultural heritages can be recorded and passed on in the form of books, so that the world can appreciate the charm of Chinese culture.
In order to convey their views, many writers skillfully use the form of biography to record and reflect the injustice of reality. Among them, the most outstanding masterpieces are the four masterpieces. The four masterpieces, which were once regarded as the best, revealed the corruption and backwardness of the dynasty at that time in an absurd and bizarre way.
At the same time, it also highlights every oppressed little person in the historical and cultural background, indirectly expressing the author's indignation and injustice.
Among the four famous novels, "Dream of Red Mansions" is known as a classic among the classics. This work is based on the rise and fall of the four major families of Jia, Shi, Wang, and Xue, and vividly depicts the various human feelings and life conditions of the society at that time.
Throughout the book, what is fascinating is undoubtedly the love story of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu and others. Among them, the relationship between Jia Baoyu and the maid is particularly attention-grabbing.
In fact, this big girl named Raider has already had a deep emotional entanglement with Jia Baoyu.
Striker is kind-hearted, loyal and responsible, and is one of the many maids in Jiafu. It is no surprise that the children of the nobility of that era had maids. Hua Raider, formerly known as Hua Pearl, was sold to Jiafu by his parents because of his poor family when he was a child, and became a part of Jiafu.
She is a gentle and frugal woman who always adheres to the teachings of her master and obeys Baoyu unconditionally. Like everyone else, she has been Baoyu's personal maid since she was a child.
The attacker is two years older than Baoyu, so she cares about Baoyu in her daily life. This includes the subtle care for the love of men and women, which is shown in detail in the book.
The feelings of the clouds and rain taught by the police made the attackers hide their faces and smile in shame. The attacker knew that Jia Mu had already married herself to Baoyu, and today's matter would not exceed etiquette, so he quietly tried it with Baoyu.
In the sixth chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions", the relationship and process between the two are described in detail. As Baoyu's maid, the attacker served Baoyu, so the two came together.
To a certain extent, this also reflects the sorrow of the maids under the feudal system at that time, and they had to obey the master's arrangement for everything. Since then, the relationship between the two has become even closer.
And as a maid, the best destination is to become Baoyu's aunt. The book does have such a plot description of the attack. ”
Baoyu's prodigal personality makes him very satisfied with the meticulous care of the maids, and Jin Chuan's misfortune is just one of them. However, although the raider was favored by Baoyu, he failed to conceive and give birth to a child, becoming a phoenix in Jiafu.
This can't help but remind people of Aunt Zhao, as Jia Zheng's concubine, although she is crude and ignorant, she is also respected by Jia Zheng. This may be the reason why the attacker failed to get pregnant.
Although Mrs. Wang looked down on Aunt Zhao, because Aunt Zhao gave birth to a child and was deeply loved by Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang was helpless against her. Aunt Zhao's status was similar to that of an attacker, and she was promoted from a maid to an aunt, which was not uncommon at that time, especially since Jia Zhengcheng had a maid Aunt Zhao before she became married.
Although she was despised by everyone, and even Mrs. Jia was not optimistic about her, in the end, Aunt Zhao became Jia Zheng's aunt and gave birth to two children.
She was successfully promoted to aunt by virtue of the wisdom of forbearance. As we all know, the status of the aunt is very low and even looked down upon, but the maid is a character that everyone envies.
In order to be promoted to aunts, the maids will rack their brains and adopt various means. Similarly, the fate of the maid is very tragic and can be disposed of by the master at will. Therefore, in order to gain the favor of the master, it is necessary to capture the heart of the master.
The most secure self-position is based on bearing children for the master. However, the smart Aunt Zhao was not in a hurry to give birth before the main room, and she knew that this would lead to the suppression and bullying of the main room.
In order to protect herself, Aunt Zhao chose to give birth to Jia Tanchun and Jia Huan many years after giving birth to a child in the main room. In this way, she did not pose any threat to the status of Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang was helpless against her.
In ancient times, great importance was attached to the dignity of concubines, and nobles usually did not let concubines give birth before the main family, which would affect the reputation of the family.
If the children of the concubine have a higher status than the children of the main family, then there will be an impact in terms of titles, property, and arrangements. Therefore, the main room will do everything in its power to prevent the concubine from having children, so as not to pose a threat to his position.
Aunt Zhao is a smart example, she first hid her edge, so that Mrs. Wang didn't notice her, and then gave birth to the child smoothly, and Mrs. Wang, as the main room, couldn't stop it.
If the attacker wants to be an aunt and wants to give birth to a child, the best way is to learn from Aunt Zhao and hide his edge.
From the experience of attacking, it is not difficult for us to see the low status of women in that era. In order to get the favor of their masters, they did not hesitate to commit themselves to perfection, and even became aunts.
However, compared to other maids, the fate of the attacker is lucky. She married a lovely person and lived a relatively stable life. What is enviable is that although she is a good girl, she still found happiness, but Childe has no chance with her.
This is exactly the portrayal of the attack. Although she was just a small person in the tragedy of the times and eventually disappeared, in that era, there were many maids whose fate was even more tragic, and they were snubbed by their masters and suffered even more deeply.
In that era of feudal rule, the people of low status endured endless suffering, which is the indictment of feudalism that the author wants to convey to us. "The paper is full of absurd stories, and every tear is a bitter testimony", the author skillfully depicts the life of the aristocracy, as well as the characters around them, as a way to reflect the suffering of the lesser, to see the big from the small, to reveal the pain of an era.
"Dream of Red Mansions" uses it as a mirror in the historical background, vividly depicting various characters, showing the decay and backwardness of the society of that era. Like a precious piece of jade, it is difficult to escape the fate of ashes after all.
