Sexual history data: how to evaluate Pan Jinlian

The sixth anecdote of sexual history: how to evaluate Pan Jinlian as a woman who killed her husband because of extramarital affairs is always controversial around her. The focus of the debate is whether her extramarital affairs have anti-feudal significance: "After the Sichuan opera Pan Jinlian was staged, the venue was packed from south to north. There is a lot of discussion in the lounge, and it is also very difficult to speak at the forum. Nearly forty newspapers and periodicals across the country published comments, with mixed comments. Lead to the tragedy of killing her husband (note: Pan Jinlian's misfortune and sinking are not tragedies! ) The curse lies not in the marriage itself, but in the internal factors of Pan Jinlian, that is to say, Pan Jinlian will marry Wu Dalang for life, and only because of her lascivious nature will her family break up and commit crimes. A comrade thinks that this family tragedy was caused by a' third party' Ximen Qing. Some playwrights in Beijing believe that the main line of the play points out that the whole feudal society and a set of feudal ethics forced women to commit crimes through the fall and degeneration of Pan Jinlian. Comrade Shanghai critic said: "Pan is not only a right challenge, but also a challenge to the feudal dross in China's traditional moral culture. In view of this, the audience spoke highly of Pan's progressive role. However, although Pan's plays oppose feudal marriage instead of denying all marriages and condemn adultery instead of promoting it, some critics still worry that it will "impact the current family ethics". So, what kind of' family ethics' is vulnerable to the impact of progressive ideas, isn't it doubtful? (Liu: A Sword Stabbing at Feudal Ghosts and Gods —— Comment on Sichuan Opera Pan Jinlian, People's Daily 1986.07. 14) Pan Jinlian is a woman who killed her husband because of an extramarital affair, and there is always controversy around her. The focus of the debate is whether her extramarital affairs have anti-feudal significance: "After the Sichuan opera Pan Jinlian was staged, the venue was packed from south to north. There is a lot of discussion in the lounge, and it is also very difficult to speak at the forum. Nearly forty newspapers and periodicals across the country published comments, with mixed comments. Lead to the tragedy of killing her husband (note: Pan Jinlian's misfortune and sinking are not tragedies! ) The curse lies not in the marriage itself, but in the internal factors of Pan Jinlian, that is to say, Pan Jinlian will marry Wu Dalang for life, and only because of her lascivious nature will her family break up and commit crimes. A comrade thinks that this family tragedy was caused by a' third party' Ximen Qing. Some playwrights in Beijing believe that the main line of the play points out that the whole feudal society and a set of feudal ethics forced women to commit crimes through the fall and degeneration of Pan Jinlian. Comrade Shanghai critic said: "Pan is not only a right challenge, but also a challenge to the feudal dross in China's traditional moral culture. In view of this, the audience spoke highly of Pan's progressive role. However, although Pan's plays oppose feudal marriage instead of denying all marriages and condemn adultery instead of promoting it, some critics still worry that it will "impact the current family ethics". Then this kind of' family ethics', which is easily impacted by progressive ideas, says that a woman was forcibly sent to an unsuitable man to be her wife, so she had an extramarital affair and killed her husband. How to evaluate this behavior? It should be analyzed at several levels: first, killing people is a crime, which is not allowed in any society. It cannot be said that murder is a crime in modern society and not a crime in traditional society. Secondly, Pan Jinlian's extramarital affairs have been scolded (the attitude of the novel author) and punished (Song Wu killed the adulterer's sister-in-law), but there are three different positions to evaluate Pan Jinlian's extramarital affairs: war, she became a hero against feudal ethics. She is neither a bad person nor a bad person. I think the second position is the fairest, because the first position ignores the institutional factors of Pan Jinlian's extramarital affairs mistakes. If she had been free to choose her marriage partner, she would never choose Wu Dalang. If she can divorce freely, maybe she won't have an affair and kill her husband. The third position exaggerates the differences of marriage morality under different systems. In other words, whether in feudal society or socialist society, extramarital love is a bad thing. Extramarital affairs cannot be considered as a bad thing in modern society. In traditional society, extramarital affairs become a good thing because of anti-tradition. Engaging in extramarital affairs has become a resistance to challenging the traditional marriage system, and people who engage in extramarital affairs have become anti-traditional heroes. The first position is the author's position and the position of Song Wu. He thinks Pan Jinlian is a bad person, doing bad things and having no sympathy. He can only be executed and will be remembered for thousands of years. The second position is the position of Pan's author and the above-mentioned author, and thinks that Pan Jinlian is compassionate, that is, the freedom of marriage and divorce is not harmful to her, but to the system. Although she had an extramarital affair, she would not become a bad person because of it. So her behavior deserves sympathy. The third position is anti-feudalism From this standpoint, Pan Jinlian's extramarital affair is a challenge to feudal marriage, and she has become a hero against feudal ethics. She is neither a bad person nor a bad person. In the war, she became a hero against feudal ethics. She is neither a bad person nor a bad person. I think the second position is the fairest, because the first position ignores the institutional factors of Pan Jinlian's extramarital affairs mistakes. If she had been free to choose her marriage partner, she would never choose Wu Dalang. If she can divorce freely, maybe she won't have an affair and kill her husband. The third position exaggerates the differences of marriage morality under different systems. In other words, whether in feudal society or socialist society, extramarital love is a bad thing. Extramarital affairs cannot be considered as a bad thing in modern society. In traditional society, extramarital affairs become a good thing because of anti-tradition. Engaging in extramarital affairs has become a resistance to challenging the traditional marriage system, and people who engage in extramarital affairs have become anti-traditional heroes.
