As one of the four famous works in China, "Dream of Red Mansions" is a rare historical masterpiece written by two authors in history, although Gao He and Cao Xueqin's attitude towards Jiafu and the ending direction and story synopsis are not the same, but it is undeniable that the one hundred and twenty creations of the two people have left a strong mark in history.
WhileAlthough "Dream of Red Mansions" seems to be a series of stories around Jiafu and Daguanyuan, the protagonists in it are just princes, nobles, women and children who are facing downfallis such a work that seems to be so incompatible with the other three famous novels, but in fact, it also hides a lot of court infighting and power struggles in the feudal period, and the hidden sinister hearts and class struggles are even more addictive, no worse than the killing struggle on the battlefield.
As the two most anticipated characters in this work, the relationship story of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu has attracted the attention of many readersBut with the decline of Jiafu, Daiyu's suspicions again and again finally broke off this relationship, but why did Jiafu, who regarded Lin Daiyu as a treasure at the beginning, let her die outside in the end?
All the grievances and hatreds between Lin Daiyu and Jiafu are not in her background, nor in her family, but in the moment when Lin Daiyu entered Jiafu, from the moment she walked into Jiafu in ignorance, her fate was already doomedFrom the seemingly lively and welcoming scene in Jiafu to everyone's inner performance of ghosts and disgust, it can be seen that Lin Daiyu made a wrong choice to enter Jiafu.
What contrasts with Lin Daiyu's entry into Jiafu is the hustle and bustle of Jiafu from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, this busyness seems to outsiders to be a kind of respect for guests, and it is indeed the case on the outside, how can Lin Daiyu, who first entered Jiafu or a blank piece of paper, know so many small ways in it, this scene really moved her injured little heart a lot, but it is not the case.
First of all, when Lin Daiyu followed Jia's mother to the front of the hospital, several maids ran from the house to the outside of the house to greet herThe hurricity here is just a compliment and obedience to Jia's mother, the power center of Jiafu, I think that at the beginning, when Lin Daiyu first saw Jia and Jia Zheng, the attitudes of the two people were very different from those of the palace maids, after all, they didn't have to work too hard to please Jia's mother.
But the palace maids are different, Mother Jia is too far away from them, and Sister Lin is of the same age and deeply loved by Mother Jia, which is the stepping stone for them to change their fate.
Secondly, let's take a look at Wang Xifeng, the housekeeper of Jiafu, as Jia's mother's mouthpiece in Jiafu, Wang Xifeng's emotional intelligence to achieve this position is naturally not lowWhen she first saw Daiyu, Sister Feng couldn't figure out Jia's mother's attitude, and after being reprimanded by Jia's mother with a crying face, she "turned sadness into joy".
The emotional changes are so obvious, and the contrast between the front and back is so drastic, which is enough to see that Wang Xifeng is decisive and ruthless, it is not the relationship between Lin Daiyu and Wang Xifeng, it has become just Sister Feng's face towards Jia's mother.
Although Lin Daiyu is an outsider, she seems to be happy under the care of the good-looking greetings of the people in Jiafu, but in fact, she is also very "busy", and this kind of busyness is more like a play in the face of hypocrisy.
At that time, after Sanchun was greeted by Jia's mother and didn't have to go to school, Lin Daiyu saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and this performance was very different from when she first entered JiafuWhen she first entered, she was a foreign guest, so she had to be cautious in everything, and she was just a nod to greet unfamiliar people, but this caution and worry can only exist for a while, after all, she will live in Jiafu for a long time in the future, and there was a lot of red tape in the feudal era, not to mention this huge Jiafu.
Pay attention to everywhere step by step, this is Lin Daiyu's last resort to get along, she doesn't want to be looked down upon, but also wants to live with dignity, she used to have a proud attitude at home, but now she is changing for her livelihood, but she didn't find that her fate will also change together.
This world-famous novel "Dream of Red Mansions" enjoys another kind of "controversy" that many works have never had, that is, the follow-up about the future development of the protagonists, Cao Xueqin's first 80 chapters will fill all the suspense of the story in the whole book, and at the same time give many protagonists the next step of the storyline to prepare.
But after all, everyone's thoughts and feelings are different, and their opinions on literature are not exactly the same, and the last forty episodes of Gao E's continuation did not get the recognition and cheers of readers, but in various versions of film and television dramas in the future, Gao E's last forty episodes have also been repeatedly interpreted and modified, and Lin Daiyu's death is also one of the major points of controversy.
In Gao E's sequel, Jia Baoyu accidentally lost the "Tongling Jade" and Xue Baochai sat on the long-coveted throne of the second grandmother as a victor, this description of joy and sorrow formed a sharp contrast, and also made the ruthlessness under the feudal traditional society vividly demonstrated.
But in the end, this interlocking story was all because of the loss of a piece of "psychic jade", which caused Baoyu to become stupid, and Daiyu lost her nature, is the ending a little too hasty, and also made many readers call it "too hasty", all in all, this treatment method does not meet the characteristics of the characters.
Although the film and television drama is somewhat detached from the script of the original book, the way it is handled also attracts many people, Daiyu heard the news that Baoyu encountered the death of a ship thief, and her mental breakdown once occurred, and her physical condition has changed dramatically since then.
Although it turned out to be a fake, Daiyu was in a trance, and it didn't get better until she heard the old ladies discussing her marriage with Baoyu in a daze, but when she was walking in the peach forest, she heard that Baoyu was going to marry Baochai This time she touched Daiyu's serious illness.
And then after Baoyu came back safely,But he just symbolically shouted a few words: "Sister Lin, I'm back, you're in **....Even after Daiyu's death, Baoyu was not as sad as she imagined, but there are still many viewers who don't buy this kind of interpretation, which has to talk about the book criticism of Fat Yan Zhai.
It is said that this person was Cao Xueqin's uncle, and he had read the last eighty manuscripts of Cao XueqinDaiyu's death was inseparable from Jiafu's copying, when Jia Baoyu was imprisoned in prison, Lin Daiyu couldn't find a way, so she was depressed and died of grief day and nightAnd although it has long been impossible to verify whether this person is true or false and whether the manuscript has been circulated so far, at least one thing is correct, that is, Lin Daiyu cried to death, which is completely consistent with Cao Xueqin's hint in the fifth chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions".
In the ninety-eighth chapter of the sequel to "Dream of Red Mansions", it is completely writtenLin Daiyu died on Jia Baoyu's wedding night, Daiyu's death has pulled the emotions of the entire "Dream of Red Mansions" to a height that does not belong to it, and for a while readers and historians lamented this, but is this really the case?
In all respects, Lin Daiyu can't die in Jiafu and doesn't have to die in Jiafu, which has to talk about Cao Xueqin's hints in the first eighty episodes.
It doesn't matter whether Lin Daiyu is dead or alive, and it doesn't seem to matter how she dies, but if a work wants to be passed down for centuries, it must have its own set of spiritual connotations.
According to Cao Xueqin's various hints, Lin Daiyu finally left Jiafu, just like coming innocently, leaving cleanly, without any dust.
The reason why Lin Daiyu can't die in Jiafu is nothing more than these three reasons, first of all, Daiyu's arrogance in her heart, for a woman like her, her detached thinking and unstained mentality are destined to make her different from others, they are not arrogant and humiliated, but more disdain and disgust for the food that comes to them.
From the first time she entered Jiafu to when she left Jiafu, this has been throughout Lin Daiyu's life, she loves Baoyu, but she loves her innocent dignity even moreFor the sake of dignity, she can do without love, which is the best shaping of Lin Daiyu's character in the first eighty episodes
The second is that Bao Dai's marriage is destined to end without a problem, This has been foreshadowed before, Bao Dai's feelings are paid attention to by many people, but in the face of the end of love, Daiyu did not put down her body to redeem, which proves that she will not die with such a mixed reputation, after all, in love and dignity, Daiyu can not always occupy nothing.
In Cao Xueqin's thoughts, the two got engaged first and then separated, giving Daiyu a hint of the fantasy of marrying Baoyu, and then fulfilling Baochai's feelings with her own hands, which is the best way to protect Lin Daiyu's whole body.
Finally, there are Cao Xueqin's various hints in the play, Baoyu went to prison in the autumn, but Daiyu's death was in the spring of the second year, and Daiyu's death has no absolute relationship with who Baoyu married or who she married, whether it was Jia's mother's contempt and ridicule for her, or Baoyu's change of heart, this was not the main reason why she was determined to "die in tears".And only by leaving Jiafu can he protect his reputation, and his relationship with Baoyu turns into a chaste and martyr's affection, which is even more touching and lamentable.
Since ancient times, the two-sided nature of love has moved many people with lofty ideals, whether you are the emperor of heaven or ordinary people, everyone is equal in realizing true love, and in Bao Dai's relationship, Lin Daiyu is destined to obey the plot of a traditional woman who dies and sacrifices her life for love.
It's just that this seemingly "old-fashioned" bloody plot also has different manifestations in the eyes of different people, which is also one of the fundamental reasons why all readers have no objection to Daiyu's death, but they criticize Gao He and other playwrights for how she died, where she died, and why she died.
