Xiang Ling in "A Dream of Red Mansions" wants to learn poetry, but Baochai, a kind-hearted person, refuses to teach. Why is Daiyu, who has always been bitter and willful, willing to teach?

Sister Bao is knowledgeable and talented, and is good at poetry. Her poems are implicit and rich, and are as famous as Daiyu's romantic and chic, not to be compared with Zhuchai. She won the first place in Begonia poems, satire and crab chants, her skills surpassed all other poems, and she can be regarded as Xiangling's teacher. What's more, Xiang Ling is willing to work hard and has a very high level of understanding. It is not troublesome to teach, so why not?

In my opinion, Baochai is not happy to see Xiang Ling learning poetry. Baochai declined, and Xiangling turned to Daiyu as her teacher. She studied hard under the lamp, and Baochai "urged him to sleep several times." Although he was concerned about Xiangling's health, he did not dislike her studying poetry. mean. Xiangling was obsessed with studying poetry. She had no interest in eating and drinking, and was restless in sitting or lying down. Baochai joked half-heartedly: "Why bother asking for trouble? It's all because of your frown. I'll settle the score with him. You were originally dull, but with this added on, you became even more of a fool.

” (Chapter 48) The opposition in these words is even more obvious. Even Xiang Ling, who was completely satisfied and only wanted to write poetry, did not dare to give Baochai a thumbs up, which shows that Baochai was opposed to it. So why did Baochai oppose Xiangling's study of poetry? I think there are two reasons: First, this is determined by Baochai's view of women's reading.

In Chapter 42, because Daiyu was reading miscellaneous books, Baochai taught her: "It is better for us girls to be illiterate. Men who do not read well are not as good as those who do not read, let alone you." Even writing poems and writing is not something you and I should do. After all, it’s not a man’s role... As for you and me, we should only do some needlework and spinning, but we know how to do it. A word..." Baochai's words contain three messages: (1) It is best not for girls to read and write; (2) The girl's job is needlework and spinning.

It’s not about poetry and writing; (3) Poetry and writing are dispensable for men, let alone women. Chapter 49, Xiangyun and Xiangling were having a long talk, and Baochai laughed and said, "I really can't stand the noise. A girl's family just talks about serious things with poems, and makes learned people listen. It’s a joke about people who don’t keep their duties.” In Baochai’s eyes, the girl holding poems and talking about serious matters was a sign of not keeping her duties.

Since ancient times, it has been said: "It is virtue for a woman to have no talent." Chastity and tranquility are always the main thing, and female workers are the second thing. The rest of the poems are just a boudoir game, and you may or may not know them. Girls like us don’t need the reputation of these talents. "(Chapter 64 Baochai's Sayings) Even the rich daughter of Gongmen Houfu does not need the false reputation of this poet and talented woman, let alone Xiangling, a maid and concubine. Secondly, Baochai probably studied Marxism and learned from reality. Let’s start with a detailed analysis of the specific issues.

Her brother Xue Pan, known as the Overlord, is uneducated and incompetent. He thinks "Tang Yin" is "Geng Huang" and can only sing some humming rhymes. Sister Lin said that she knew a few words, which was modest; but our uncle Xue, that is the truth. Under such circumstances, I believe that Sister Bao is not without worries. She was just a real sister-in-law, but she was born a concubine and became a talented woman. She used her elegance to set off Xue Pan's vulgarity and lack of knowledge? "A woman has virtue when she has no talent." After reading the book, you may become discerning. The reason why Baochai doesn't teach Xiangling to write poetry is not only because she doesn't want to see it succeed, but also because of Baochai's way of dealing with people.
