In "White Deer Plain", the marriage between Guo Juren and Tian Xiao'e is like a struggle and tragedy bound by feudal shackles. Their stories are not only a revelation of the social atmosphere of that era, but also an indictment of the distortion of human nature.
Tian Xiao'e, a young woman from a family of talents, but fate forced her to marry the elderly Guo Juren and become his second room. This seemingly absurd marriage is actually the ruthless mercy of the fate of women in feudal society. At that time, women's marriages were often seen as a victim of family interests rather than personal happiness and choice. Tian Xiao'e's experience is the epitome of this social reality.
After entering the Guo family, Tian Xiao'e faced not only the hardships of life, but also the suppression and calculations from the eldest wife. The eldest wife, as the wife of the Guo family, naturally can't allow Tian Xiao'e, an "outsider", to threaten her status. She used the power in her hands to reduce Tian Xiao'e to a maid-like existence and put her in charge of the most humble housework. At the same time, she also restricted Guo Juren's contact with Tian Xiao'e, in an attempt to alienate the relationship between the two. This kind of behavior undoubtedly exposes the insidious and selfishness of the eldest lady's heart.
However, in the face of these suppressions and calculations, Tian Xiao'e did not choose to give in. With her firm will and courageous actions, she fought back against the conspiracy of the eldest lady. However, Guo Juren's true thoughts are disgusting. He actually used Tian Xiao'e as a "medicine furnace" and adopted an absurd way to pursue "health" and "longevity".
This kind of behavior is not only an extreme insult to Tian Xiao'e, but also a trampling on the dignity of women. In feudal society, the female body was often seen as an accessory to men and a tool for satisfying desires. Guo Juren's behavior is the embodiment of this distorted concept.
Faced with this unbearable humiliation, Tian Xiao'e chose to resist. She didn't choose to be silent and endure, but took the method of replacing the dates, and secretly let Guo Juren eat the dates made of her own urine by mistake. Although this behavior did not change reality, it showed Tian Xiao'e's inner strength and sense of resistance.
She refused to fall victim to Guo Juren's absurd desire for health, and used her meager strength to maintain her dignity and respect. Her spirit of rebellion allows people to see the awakening and rebellion consciousness of women in feudal society, and also makes people deeply reflect on the dark side of that era and the ugliness of human nature.
Tian Xiao'e's resistance did not change her status in the Guo family. Under the calculation of the eldest wife, she was finally kicked out of Guo Juren's family. This scene reveals her powerlessness and innocence in the struggle within the family, as well as the control and manipulation of the eldest lady as a representative of power. However, Tian Xiao'e's departure is not the end of the story, but the beginning of a new beginning. She has won people's respect and admiration for her strength and bravery, and her story has become a symbol of social progress and awareness of human rights.
Looking back on the whole story, we can't help but feel sorry and indignant for what happened to Tian Xiao'e. As a young and beautiful woman, she should have her own happiness and choices. However, under the shackles of feudal society, her fate was ruthlessly deprived and trampled on. This makes us deeply reflect on similar problems that still exist in modern society. Although we have entered a new era, the status and dignity of women still face challenges and threats. We need to pay more attention to the rights and interests of women and promote the progress and development of society.
In modern society, although we have made many progresses, the remnants of feudal thinking remain. We can still see some women being treated unfairly at home, in the workplace and in society. However, as Tian Xiao'e demonstrates, women should not be bound under feudal yokes, but should bravely pursue their dreams and rights.
