How to evaluate the role of Wang Xifeng in A Dream of Red Mansions?

In A Dream of Red Mansions, the author wrote Wang Xifeng's appearance very strongly. She is radiant and bejeweled, with "a pair of red phoenix eyes and two bent willow leaves", "pink face is full of spring, red lips don't smile" and "like a fairy princess", but she is bright and cruel. Just as Xing Er described her: sweet mouth and bitter heart, two sides and three knives, a smile on her head, a stumbling block at her feet, light is a pot of fire, and darkness is a knife "(back to 65).

Wang Xifeng, one of the twelve women in Jinling, the wife of Jia Lian and the niece of Mrs. Wang. He has a pair of red phoenix triangle eyes, two curved arch eyebrows, slim figure and coquettish physique. She was smart and capable, won the trust of the Jia family and Mrs. Wang, and became the actual housekeeper of the Jia family. She sat on the throne of the housekeeper of hundreds of Jia family. Her eloquence and power are her weapons to flatter her superiors and confuse her subordinates, with the aim of seizing power and stealing money. She tried her best to change her mind, and she was cruel and mean, even though Gary was such a millionaire. Children deserve to die, but the cruelty of revenge can also be seen in "Poisoning Acacia Bureau". In order to bribe 3,200 taels of silver, the "Tiexi Temple" forced the daughter of the Zhang family and the son of a garrison to commit suicide. Second Sister You and the fetus in her belly were also killed by Wang Xifeng in the most cunning and vicious way. She declared publicly: "I never believe in what the underworld deserves." Why, I said it! " She is extremely greedy. In addition to asking for bribes, she also lent money by defaulting on public funds. In this case alone, hundreds or even thousands of silver are used for personal interests. When the property was looted, 50,000 to 70,000 gold and a box of loan vouchers were taken from her room. What Wang Xifeng did undoubtedly accelerated the decline of Jia's family, and finally ended up as "the organ counted the life of Qing Qing".

Gary coveted her beauty, and she gave her bait, set a trap, let him take the bait, and finally made her lovesick to death. In order to help Chang 'an's father-in-law's brother-in-law get married, he promised to give her 3.2 thousand silver. She secretly forced Chang 'an to get married through her joints, which forced a young man and woman to commit suicide. Jia Lian secretly married Second Sister You, and when he was discovered, he "made a scene in Ningguo Mansion". Later, Second Sister You had no fixed place to live, so she swallowed her anger and committed suicide.

Although Wang Xifeng is so notorious and sinful, people can't deny her intelligence. In this big family of hundreds of people, only she can make both ends meet. Dealing with extremely complicated personnel relations, only she can borrow from the east and move from the west to cope with the numerous expenses that cannot make ends meet. She has a penetrating mind, coping with all kinds of disadvantages and crises of Jia family, and showing her courage and ability to do great things everywhere.

Therefore, in the fifth sentence, she wrote, "All birds from the last days know how to love this life." It's even sadder to cry to Jinling. "This shows that her home will not have a good result. Those who are in the "last days", the most talented people, can't escape the fate of "a thousand red tears, Wan Yan with sorrow". -The authorities are too smart to count your life. " . This luxurious and gorgeous Wang Xifeng with complex personality is like a mixture of medicine and good medicine, which is more appropriate than poppy.

All the birds from the last days know that they love this life. Obeying two orders, three people were in a daze, and crying to Jinling was even more sad.

[Notes]

This one is about Wang Xifeng.

1. Every bird-together is the word "phoenix", so name it. Shi Shuo Xin Yu Jian Ao said: During the Jin Dynasty, Lu An visited Ji Kang, but Ji Kang was not at home. His brother invited guests to sit at home, but Lu An refused, and wrote the word "Feng" on the door. Ji Kang's brother was very happy, thinking that the guests said he was a god bird. In fact, Lv An laughed at him as an ordinary bird. Here, "Phoenix" is called "every bird" in turn, just to cover up some songs.

2. "Yicong" sentence-Because I don't know the ending space of Wang Xifeng in the manuscript, there are various speculations about this sentence. Pang criticized "the method of dividing characters". It means to take the words apart, but it doesn't say how to take them apart. Some people say that "Erling" is "cold" and "three-person wood" is "Qin" (the second half is "he" instead of "wood"), which is not the case. Mr. Wu Enyu said in Ten Notes of Cao Xueqin: "At first, Xifeng obeyed Jia Lian, but later she was able to issue a decree to Jia Lian and was finally defeated." So crying to Jinling is even sadder. Judging from the clues provided by Zhifu, it is credible that Xifeng was later abandoned by Jia Lian. "King Jinling" is her maiden, which is consistent with the last sentence. The "iceberg" in the painting means that the status of monopolizing power is difficult to last. Zhang Xun was advised to go to Yang for treasure hunting. Zhang Yue said, "Your generation leans on the sun, and your right is like Mount Tai. I think it's an iceberg. If a bright day comes, will your generation have nothing to rely on? " "Female Phoenix" means that she is widowed and lonely.

A Dream in Red Mansions

Clever thunder

What a coincidence! Forget it! Heartbroken before death, ethereal after death. A rich family is peaceful, and eventually there will be a family, and the family will be separated. It's a waste of time to spend half your life, and it's like a long night's dream. Suddenly like the first floor, suddenly like Yi Deng. Ah! One happy and one sad. Sigh the world, it's hard to decide!

[description]

This piece of music was written by Wang Xifeng. The title of the song is "Smart and Tired", which means being troubled by intelligence, being smart and making mistakes. Su Shi's poem "Washing Children" in the Northern Song Dynasty said: "Everyone raises their children to be smart, and I have been delayed by being smart all my life. I only hope that this child is honest and honest, and there is no disaster and no difficulty in reaching the public. "

[Notes]

1. The second sentence of "organ"-I tried my best to plan and calculate. I was too smart, but even my own life was calculated. Organs, intrigues, conspiracy politics. Qing Qing, the language version of Shi Shuo Xin Yu, was later used as an intimate title between husband and wife and friends. This refers to Wang Xifeng

2. The afterlife is ethereal-the plot based on it is unknown. Judging from the basic facts that can be known at present, what is most likely to close her eyes is that she was worried about the fate of her daughter Jia until her death. "Soul after death" is a superstition.

3. Pentium-here is to describe that when disaster strikes, each of them is looking for a way out.

4. Hanging in the air-a mental state that has been very tired and can't let go.

[Appreciation]

Wang Xifeng is the actual ruler of the Jia family. She was in charge of the Rong Guo mansion, assisted the Ning Guo mansion, and was also a traffic officer, doing whatever she wanted. This is a very political figure, not a housewife of an ordinary aristocratic family. Her distinctive feature is "playing politics", grasping power and money in one hand, which fully shows the power desire and greed of the exploiting class. Wang Xifeng is not only a person, but also represents a class. It is not only Wang Xifeng's personal fate, but also the image portrayal of the dying feudal class and the complete collapse of the reactionary social system they represent.

"This institution is too smart, but it is a green life!" These two sentences tell the * * * law of all reactionary classes that are going to decline. Wang Xifeng is the leading "last-time talent" among the four families. During her short years in power, she tried her best to change the situation, using cruel and despicable means and creating many evils. Several people died directly at her hands. But all this only prepared the conditions for her own final collapse.

According to Cao Xueqin's original intention, the ending of this door bully is very bad. From "Fat Batch", we can know that the second half of the manuscript has the following plot:

First, she was convicted of running away from home and stayed in the prison temple with Baoyu for a long time (waiting for sin, not being in prison). The reason was nothing more than that her wicked things such as collecting money and killing people were exposed. For example, in the case of "playing tricks on Tiejing Temple", forcing an unmarried couple to commit suicide and enjoying a section of 3,200 silver, the fat group pointed out: "The manufacturer doesn't know how to cancel the contract and pay, but he knows." "Don't write in detail, you will know what he did in my life. Looking back, no wonder he was miserable. " (16th time) When she left home, Grandma Liu met her in the prison temple (the 42nd batch of Cang Jing Ben). In addition, Xiao Hong and others saw Xifeng in the prison temple.

Second, take a broom to sweep the snow in the Grand View Garden. This is when she was sentenced to become a monk and returned to Jiafu after many twists and turns. Zhifu said: In front of the Yihong Courtyard, "it must be the place where Xifeng sweeps away snow and picks up jade" (the 23rd time).

Third, she was abandoned by her husband and "cried to Jinling". From the twenty-first fat batch, she found that her husband hid a lot of girls' hair (batch: "wonderful. Pinger was going to take it away, so it wouldn't leak again, so she used Jia Lian to get it back, and the text behind it was lost before it could be inserted. " ) is a fuse, and my husband uses it to turn his face away. At that time, Xi-feng was "desperate" and could only bear the burden of humiliation, which was far from the "A Feng Ying Qi" when Qiao Pinger rescued Jia Lian with soft words. So the second half of that period was called "Wang Xifeng, a strong hero in know life".

Fourth, look back at the pain and die short-lived. You's wife said to Feng, "I'll carry the messenger into the coffin tomorrow." Fat criticism: "This statement is true, and it will be short-lived after lying down." (43rd)

In a word, Xifeng's bitter ending is the result of suffering, not the fate of the world.

Wang Xifeng-the character in A Dream of Red Mansions, the wife of Jia Lian and the niece of Mrs. Wang. He has a pair of red phoenix triangle eyes, two curved willow eyebrows, slim figure and coquettish physique. She was smart and capable, won the trust of the Jia family and Mrs. Wang, and became the actual housekeeper of the Jia family. She sat on the throne of the housekeeper of hundreds of Jia family. Her eloquence and power are her weapons to flatter her superiors and confuse her subordinates, with the aim of seizing power and stealing money. She tried her best to change her mind and become cruel and mean. Although a dude like Jia Rui deserves to die, the cruelty of revenge can also be seen in "Poisoning Acacia Bureau". In order to bribe 3,200 taels of silver, Tiexi Temple forced the daughter of the Zhang family and the son of a garrison to commit suicide. Second Sister You and the fetus in her belly were also killed by Wang Xifeng in the most cunning and vicious way. She declared publicly: "I never believe in what the underworld deserves." Why, I said it! " She is extremely greedy. Besides asking for bribes, she also lends money by delaying the monthly payment of public expenditure. In this case alone, hundreds or even thousands of silver are used for personal interests. When the property was looted, 50,000 to 70,000 gold and a box of loan vouchers were taken from her room. What Wang Xifeng did undoubtedly accelerated the decline of Jia's family, and finally ended up as "the organ counted the life of Qing Qing".

The artistic image of Wang Xifeng in A Dream of Red Mansions is rich and complicated. Since the publication of A Dream of Red Mansions, there have been many comments on Wang Xifeng in the history of redology. She is regarded as "a capable minister who manages the world and a traitor in troubled times", and Wang Xifeng is called "female Cao Cao" and "rouge tiger", that is, tigress. In many comments, it is "hate Wang Xifeng, scold Wang Xifeng, but miss Wang Xifeng", which is probably the feeling that every fan of A Dream of Red Mansions will have.

The character Wang Xifeng plays a very important role in A Dream of Red Mansions, and it can be said that this image is unique. She has the function of supporting, focusing or radiating in the sense of artistic structure and artistic noumenon. Because A Dream of Red Mansions is not only about the love and marriage between Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu, but also about more than 400 characters in this big family. If there were no Wang Xifeng, what would be the result of a dream of red mansions? It can be said that if the Jia family's complicated interpersonal relationships, such as seniority, seniority, intimacy, humility and subjectivity, are compared to a net, then the character Wang Xifeng is in a relatively central position. This highlights the uniqueness of this character's image. She has to deal with all kinds of characters, so-called three-level in-laws, including countless uncles, sisters-in-law and even aunts, maids and concubines, as well as a large group of lower-level housekeepers, servants, maids and pages. The relationship between Wang Xifeng and any one of them is either related or contradictory, or both, which is a reflection of certain social relations. Supposedly, in the whole Jia family, Wang Xifeng's qualifications are very low. She is a granddaughter-in-law. How can someone like Rainbow Xifeng be in charge? This reason is also the result of the development of various contradictions. She has the background of "King Jinling", Jia's support, the contradiction between Mrs. Xing and Wang, and of course the subjective conditions of her own desire. At the same time, Wang Xifeng was pushed to the crater and became the target of public criticism. The result of many old contradictions has become the cause of new contradictions. She is an extremely complicated role! It can be said that Wang Xifeng summed up all kinds of contradictions, a kind of housework that parents manage short, so-called uncles and sisters-in-law, and so on, which is not the case. Because in China's feudal patriarchal society, home and country are isomorphic and have always come down in one continuous line, and home is a simplified form of country. The ups and downs, factional disputes and factional struggles of the feudal emperor's power to "rule the world" can be seen in the family. Therefore, the contradiction from that Wang Xifeng, concentrated on her, or radiated by her, gives people a sense of depth and cannot be regarded as a family contradiction. As far as the breadth of social life tolerated by the artistic image of Wang Xifeng is concerned, it is also beyond the reach of other images, such as borrowing money and earning interest. Wang Xifeng took out the money of the month to lend usury. In the novel, written more than once. Pinger said, "You have to pay a thousand pieces of silver every year at least." Even the amount is very specific. It is impossible to put such economic details on others. For example, the old lady won't do such a thing, and she doesn't bother to do such a thing. The young lady doesn't manage money at all, and only Wang Xifeng can bear it. Therefore, the social tentacles of the image of Wang Xifeng are the longest, which can go beyond the walls of the Jia family and extend to the government, Buddhism and the court. In other words, Wang Xifeng's artistic image is irreplaceable and indispensable in reflecting the depth and breadth of life. Without Wang Xifeng, A Dream of Red Mansions would be greatly discounted in reflecting the depth and breadth of life, and it would not even be called A Dream of Red Mansions.

Wang Xifeng's "tough measures" are manifested in more situations and more occasions as overbearing power and indiscriminate punishment. In this regard, there are many descriptions in A Dream of Red Mansions. What is her usual way of punishing the girl? She said, "Kneeling in the sun with tiles, no tea, no food", "Even if it is made of iron, it will confess one day." When she found the little girl who stood guard for Jia Lian, she ordered her to "take a rope whip and smash her little hoof without a master", and threatened her to brand her mouth with a red-hot soldering iron, cut the meat with a knife, and immediately pulled out the hairpin to poke the little girl's mouth. This kind of hairpin is called boudoir torture device, and it hurts to poke people. She immediately gave the little girl a slap in the face. In addition, when you were in the Qingxu Pass, a little Taoist, who was really a child, accidentally met Wang Xifeng, and Wang Xifeng slapped him with his hand, making the little Taoist unable to stand up. In this place, Wang Xifeng's hands are heavy, hard and fast, which is truly "difficult". Among Jia Fu's masters, it's rare to see anyone who pushes himself like this. In people's eyes, just like those little girls and young monks, it's really terrible. Wang Xifeng at this time is really like a demon. No wonder some slaves cursed her behind her back, calling her a "bitch" and a "hag star". At this time, the so-called "war determination" has a new air conditioner, which really makes people shudder.

Here, you can also cite the famous "Iron Threshold Temple". In this scenario, old ni asked Wang Xifeng to do so. Wang Xifeng has a famous saying, which is often quoted. Search said that I "never believed in the underworld. I just said I would do it. " This sentence is often quoted by everyone, and some people think that Wang Xifeng is not superstitious. Indeed, this sentence sounds very heroic, that is, ghosts and gods are irresistible and have this kind of courage, but it is a pity that this kind of courage is used in evil. Here, it is not that Wang Xifeng is not superstitious. Like ordinary women, she is also a god of plague and named her daughter happiness. It's not that she is not superstitious, but that she is ungodly, reckless and reckless. She can do whatever it takes to achieve her goal regardless of the consequences. So it is obvious that she is playing politics in this place. If we say "associate with Ningguo House", that "Tiexi Temple" means that she is playing politics. Outside her house, she colluded with the government and relied on her power to deceive her superiors in the house. Jia Lian made such a dirty deal in the name of Jia Lian without knowing it. If "assisting Ning" means "using power", then it is "playing politics", that is, playing politics in the palm of your hand by hook or by crook. So this is different. The novel also points out that since then, Wang Xifeng has become more courageous and willful. It can be seen that "playing politics" is a "case" for people to learn Wang Xifeng's means. She is a hard bone to chew, and there is no way out. The so-called "small amount is not a gentleman, non-toxic is not a husband." Compared with Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng and other women have no "woman's benevolence" or "compassion". After she did something, she never regretted it. She wanted to uproot the grass. If we don't forget, Jia Yucun finally gave him a long way to go. Then Wang Xifeng must finally find a way to put Zhang Hua and his son to death. From this place, we can fully appreciate Wang Xifeng's spicy means, which others can't feel. The "tough hand" is often external, but the machine heart is hidden inside. Of course, the two are related. Although the "machine heart" is hidden inside, there are traces to follow. It is often said that Wang Xifeng seldom talks about "having ten thousand minds", which is to describe the speed of her scheming and machine change. It can be seen from Wang Xifeng's daily performance. In her daily communication, Wang Xifeng often has the balance of interests and the calculation of gains and losses. Once at the expense of the Grand View Garden Poetry Club, Sister Wang Xifeng and Sister Li Wan were joking there. Because this poetry club needed some expenses, Wang Xifeng laughed at Li Wan: "You are still a sister-in-law!" She even said, "Your monthly salary of twelve taels of silver in January is twice that of us. There is also a boy who has added twelve taels-you are in the middle of the year, and you are in the middle of the year ... According to * * * *, there are four or five hundred pieces of silver a year. " "Now you are afraid of spending money to annoy them-",and Li Wan said a lot. "Listen, I said one thing, and she said a lot-""You calculated the whole world!" Although Li Wan's words are a joke, they are actually a proper evaluation of Wang Xifeng. She said, "the whole world has been set up by you." When Wang Xifeng embezzled the monthly money to pay interest, she not only embezzled the servant's money, but also dared to embezzle the old lady's and her husband's money. Therefore, even the "1282 odds and ends" should be saved together and released. Therefore, Li Wan said that she was "good at calculating two pounds" and did not wronged her at all. After Mrs. Wang's golden pheasant was thrown into the well, the number of maids was vacant. As a housekeeper, Wang Xifeng has been slow to fill in this number. Why? She said it was enough to wait for a gift, because many people took a fancy to this vacancy and thought it was a "smart son". Everyone had to ask for this job, and Wang Xifeng put it off until everyone gave gifts. There are many such things. When "making a scene in Ningguo Mansion", I didn't forget to ask you for five hundred and twenty pieces of silver. In fact, she only spent 320, asked for 520, and she earned another 220. Wang Xifeng is famous for her shrewd calculation and calm accumulation. Even she knows. She said to Pinger, "I have a bad reputation. If I leave it for another year, I will be eaten alive. " It can be seen that Wang Xifeng's money loan and Wang Xifeng's accumulation are famous. This is her calculation, and all her efforts are used in this respect. In fact, Wang Xifeng's scheming is of course used to collect money, but it is more reflected in dealing with interpersonal relationships. She is meticulous in calculation and strategy, and has a more wonderful performance.
