Qin Keqing is a mysterious woman in A Dream of Red Mansions and a controversial figure in A Dream of Red Mansions.
1. Jia Baoyu's dream lover
It was the time when plum blossoms were in full bloom in Ningfu Garden. The wives of the two houses, such as Mrs Xing, visited Fiona Fang and had a small family dinner, with tea before wine. At that time, Baoyu was tired, and Qin Keqing, Jia Rong's wife, told Baoyu to sleep. Grandmother Jia knew that Qin was a very serious person, graceful and delicate, gentle and peaceful, and was the first proud daughter-in-law of Great-Sun.
Qin (Qing) Ke Qing (Qin) is an approachable person who combines beauty and virtue. Beautiful Qin Keqing is to Baoyu what Beatrice is to Dante. Under the guidance of Qin Keqing, Baoyu came to her bedroom, where the immortals could live, and personally unfolded the gauze washed by Xi Zi and moved the pillow held by the matchmaker.
In the dream, Baoyu went to the dreamland under the guidance of the police fairy, and saw the verdict of twelve women in Jinling. Among them, Qin Keqing's verdict was "Infinite love is in a dreamland of love. When love meets, it will dominate her." Nonsense is glorious, and disaster comes from the mouth. "In the corresponding tune" Many Things Are Grinding ",it is said that" painting Liang Chun is fragrant dust. Being good at amorous feelings and grasping the moon phase is the foundation of losing home. Losing power is respectful, and the death of family affairs is the original sin. Always because of love. The fairy king betrothed his sister and Qin's nicknames to Baoyu. "。 This "Bian Mei" is as glamorous as Baochai and as charming as Daiyu. In the nightmare, Baoyu shouted "Ke Qing saves me".
Dreams are the realization of one's realistic desires. Realistic dreams, dreams come back to reality. There is truth and falsehood, and it is a wonderful article.
The eleventh time, Baoyu accompanied Wang Xifeng to the Qin government. Looking at the picture of Haitang sleeping in spring and the couplets written by Qin Taixu, Baoyu couldn't help thinking of sleeping here and dreaming of a "dreamland". Listening to Qin's sad words, I was lost in thought, my heart was like an arrow, and my tears unconsciously stayed.
The thirteenth time, Jia Baoyu heard from his dream that Qin was dead and hurriedly rolled over. He just felt that he couldn't bear to stab him in the heart. Wow, he spit out a mouthful of blood. I changed my clothes in a hurry and came to see grandma Jia. I went to the funeral immediately, regardless of the grandmother's dissuasion. Baoyu got out of the car and rushed to the stop, crying bitterly.
Baoyu was the saddest person in Qin Keqing's death.
The last words are very profound.
Qin Keqing is a prophetic figure with the most tragic consciousness in the whole Jia family. As an important member of Jia family, her perfection is almost universally recognized. She devoted herself to the spiritual quality of Jia's family until her death, which was embodied in her last words (Wang Xifeng).
Fang Juexing's eyes were a little dim, but in a trance, she saw Qin coming from the door and said with a smile, "Aunt, sleep well! I'm going back today, and you don't give me a ride. Because women are bosom friends, I can't bear to part with menstruation, so I came to say goodbye to you. There is still one wish that has not been fulfilled. Don't tell your aunt, others may not be useful. "
Hearing this, Feng asked in a trance, "What's your wish? Just ask me. " "Aunt," Qin said, "you are a hero in the pink team. Even the man in the hat can't pass you. How come you don't even know two common sayings? As the saying goes,' when the moon is full, it will lose money, and when the water is full, it will overflow', and there is also a saying that' he who climbs high falls hard'. Today, our family has flourished for a hundred years. If one day is extremely sad, if it should be the phrase' the tree falls apart', then it is not a family of poetry and books for life! " Hearing this, Feng was filled with awe and awe. "It's really worrying, but how can we be safe forever?" Qin sneer at a way, "aunt is so stupid. No matter how hard it is, how can human resources be guaranteed from ancient times to the present? But now you can plan your future career in glory, and you can always be safe and secure. In other words, if everything is fine today, only two things are bad. If this is done, it will be guaranteed forever the next day. "
Feng asked what it was. Qin said, "Although my ancestors offered sacrifices at four o'clock, they just didn't have a certain amount of money and food. Secondly, although home schools have been established, there is no certain supply. Personally, there is no shortage of sacrificial offerings in today's prosperous times, but they will decline in the future. Where did these two things come from? In my opinion, taking advantage of today's wealth, Mo Ruo will set up several acres of grange courtyard near his ancestral home in order to prepare sacrificial supplies. All the expenses will come from here, and the home school will also be located here. Contract clans, old and young, have made rules that they will be in charge of land, money, food, sacrifices and offerings this year according to their houses. There is no competition in this way, and there are no disadvantages in sales. Even if you are guilty, you can enter the official. This sacrificial industry does not even enter the official. It was defeated, and the descendants went home to study and farm, and there were setbacks. The sacrifice was sustainable. It is not a long-term solution to think that today's glory is endless without thinking about the future. I saw another very happy thing in a few days. It's really a fire, and the flowers are blooming. You know, it was just a moment of prosperity and joy. Don't forget the proverb "The feast must end". At this time, if you don't worry earlier, you will regret it. " Xifeng asked quickly, "What's the happy event?" Qin said, "This matter must not be revealed. It's just that I had a fight with my aunt. I'll give you two words when I leave. You must remember. " Because read aloud:
After the third spring, the fragrance is exhausted, and each has its own door.
When Xifeng wanted to ask, she heard the news from the second door and knocked on the cloud board four times, which woke Feng up. The man replied, "Grandma Dong Furong has left." Hearing this, Xifeng broke out in a cold sweat and became conscious. She has to get dressed and go to Mrs. Wang's house.
Qin Keqing is a woman of very humble birth. She doesn't even know who her real parents are. She was adopted by Qin Ye, the adoptive father of Yangshengtang. This factor is related to the Jia family, so she married Jia Rong. Married into the Jia family, their behavior has been unanimously recognized by the Jia family. The tenth time, You Shi showed Qin Keqing's personality characteristics to Jin. "Aunt, you know daughter-in-law: Although you can talk and laugh when you meet someone, you are cautious and preoccupied. No matter what she hears, she has to test it for three days and five nights. " The famous doctor Zhang accurately described Qin Keqing's personality characteristics after feeling the pulse when he was young: grandma was a person with a strong heart and extraordinary intelligence; If you are too smart, you will often have unpleasant things; Disappointments often happen. You think too much. These words undoubtedly show that Qin Keqing is conscientious in Jiafu.
Qin Keqing is undoubtedly the truest, best and most beautiful person in the whole Jia family. For the future development of the family, he did his best to belittle the Jia family. If the old servant used a curse to warn Jia's future fate, it was well thought out. He used a practical plan to protect Jia's descendants.
A Dream of Red Mansions is a history of Jia family's prosperity and decline, and it is also a history of the whole family's repentance.
3. Jewish figures in the Jia family
After "Jia Tianxiang takes romantic as a mirror", the novel immediately writes about Qin Keqing's death. The novel describes Qin Keqing's birth, illness and death, and it takes a lot of space to write about Xifeng's visiting the doctor. In fact, Qin Keqing died of suicide, and Qin Keqing is the first person to commit suicide in the whole novel.
Jiao Da, a loyal minister, said that "climbing the ashes" was the incestuous relationship between her father-in-law Jia Zhen and her daughter-in-law Qin Keqing. At the beginning of the thirteenth chapter of the fat version of A Dream of Red Mansions, there is a comment on writing: "Qin Keqing mourns the fragrant building", which was written by Shi Bi. Because the old man has a dream, Xifeng Jia left two things. Is it that Anfu Rong Gui can enjoy himself? Although it was not leaked, its meaning made people feel sad and convinced, so they were forgiven, because Xiqin was ordered to delete the articles on "heritage" and "changing clothes". Qin Keqing's verdict and its picture in the fifth episode of the current edition of A Dream of Red Mansions, Qin Keqing's tune "Good Things End", and the details such as Jolie's death after Qin Keqing's death and Jia Zhen's abnormal reaction can all explain that Qin Keqing hanged himself. The death of the master indirectly led to the tragic ending of his two maids: the maids cried, and when Qin died, they also touched the post and died; As a precious little maid, because she saw Qin's body was dead, she was willing to be an adopted daughter and vowed to hold the post of mourning and exorcism.
Anyone who commits suicide is a person with a conscience. Qin Keqing was helpless in the face of her unbearable husband and father-in-law, but her incest was criticized by the world after all. My mother-in-law, You Shi, has a stomachache and sleeps in bed, ignoring her daughter-in-law's funeral. Probably a silent protest!
Probably hanging suicide is easy to end people's lives!
Qin Keqing is the only one of the twelve women in Jinling who ended her life by suicide, and also the first one in the whole novel who ended her life by hanging. Her incest behavior was not tolerated by feudal ethics at that time, and her behavior meant betraying others, so suicide was an inevitable requirement of feudal ethics. There is a saying in the cultural tradition of human beings: people who hang themselves to death can't go to heaven, can't go to the ground, can't live without the sky, can't collect the ground, and their souls have nowhere to return. What a pity that an amiable, lovely, perfect and proud person has such a tragic ending! It hurts!
Conclusion: The author repeatedly warns a person with rich feelings and promiscuity that he is doomed to ruin with words such as "being good at amorous feelings and grasping the moonlight" and "keeping evil is always due to affection". Therefore, there is a poem that says: If you make a mistake on foot, you have turned around for a hundred years. Please look at "Wind and Moon Mirror" and see how badly you cry.
Qin Keqing's death is both a symbol and a metaphor, which is an unspeakable pain for Baoyu and even the whole declining Jia family.
