In the ninety-eighth chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions, bitter crimson pearls return to hate the sky, describing Lin Daiyu's fragrant death. In front of the personal servant girl, Zijuan said? My body is clean? It has attracted many readers who are eager to interpret the deep meaning behind him. Some people say this sentence is a bit abrupt, as if the author had gilded the lily. However, some people think that this is pointing out that Lin Daiyu is flawless from beginning to end, so she can't survive well in the secular world. Someone even pointed out that in this sentence? Clean? It refers to spiritual purity, which is the characteristic of Lin Daiyu. Like the book says? Clean the quality, and then clean? .
Borrowing this sentence from Lin Daiyu's mouth is more like criticizing the ugly faces of the Jia family. With this sentence, we can also ask some questions. First, why did Lin Daiyu say this sentence before she died? Second, why is the Grand View Garden so desolate from being loved to dying? Is the people in the Grand View Garden too hypocritical or is Lin Daiyu ungrateful? Thirdly, why is Lin Daiyu's ending doomed to be bleak?
First of all, the relationship between Lin Daiyu and Qing, although close, gets along with each other day and night, but there are also high and low points. Although fines are generally called fines? Sister? However, Fine never dared to be Lin Daiyu's sister, and in terms of age, Fine was several years older than Lin Daiyu, so Lin Daiyu's personality was too weak and there was no strict class level restriction, which was absolutely impossible in feudal society.
Lin Daiyu once said that I have no relatives here. This is called Jiafu, but Jiafu is related by blood. Some people are confused about this. Does Lin Daiyu feel that the Jia family are indifferent to her? As we all know, Lin Daiyu lost her mother when she was a child, and was taken in by the Jia family. After coming to Jiafu, she became much better under the care of her grandmother.
My uncle praised me for reading poetry, playing chess, painting and calligraphy, and doing well in human etiquette. In Jiafu, although Lin Daiyu is not so free at home, she lives in Jiafu very stably and is loved by the whole family. Therefore, Lin Daiyu is also grateful for Jia's people.
Lin Daiyu
Finally, about? My body is clean? This sentence is understood by more people as Lin Daiyu's attention to herself? Clean? It is to express the author Cao Xueqin's pursuit of spiritual purity. In ancient times, this was the basic requirement for women's moral quality. The ancients emphasized that women should stick to moral integrity and have a county body. Especially unmarried women, if they can't lead an honest and clean life, they are most afraid of gossiping behind others' backs. Of course, Lin Daiyu can't accept this ambiguous relationship. Lin Daiyu has always maintained a reputation of innocence. For example, Qingwen was driven out of Jiafu, and Mrs. Wang called her a fox, which defiled the reputation of her daughter's family.
To sum up, in A Dream of Red Mansions, why did Lin Daiyu emphasize it before she died? My body is clean? ? This problem has a relatively unified conclusion. Lin Daiyu, who was lovelorn, felt that she was innocent. She also wants to meet a bosom friend, but fate always plays tricks on Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu. When Lin Daiyu buried the flowers, she had already conceived her future destiny. Anyway? Can they at least take me back? It shows that she also hopes to be buried in her own homeland and in her own grave one day. But in that feudal era, unmarried girls could not be buried in ancestral graves. So Lin Daiyu wants to be buried next to her parents after her death. Besides, she has no worries.
conclusion
From the ups and downs, joys and sorrows of A Dream of Red Mansions, we can see that Lin Daiyu is tired of human feelings. She knew that her marriage with Jia Baoyu was doomed to failure. The backward concept of feudal society caused people who loved each other spiritually to be unable to break through class barriers, and their personal destiny was tied to their family destiny, so there was no freedom of marriage. Through such a sad story, the author Cao Xueqin reveals the warmth and invisibility of human feelings behind the big family in the old society.
Today, we accept the concept of freedom and equality, believe in the concept of scientific democracy, and strive for true happiness, which in itself is unparalleled freedom and happiness.
