Xiangling's fate is sad, but in A Dream of Red Mansions, Cao Xueqin loves this character very much and gives her a special charm, which leads to a very cool fragrance floating in the Grand View Garden. However, after all, "Ling Hua is empty to snow".
Someone's (unfortunate) fate
Xiangling, formerly known as Lianying, was born in Gusu, a first-class and second-class rich and romantic place. His mother is virtuous, his father is virtuous, solemn and innocent. She is a local aristocratic family. The couple are over 50 years old, childless and have only one daughter, whose nickname is Lian Win. Win in a row "born with jade, happy." The whole family loves her very much. It should be said that Lien Win is happy and beautiful to live in such a family. Unfortunately, at the Lantern Festival when she was three years old, Yin Shi ordered her family to hold lanterns. At midnight, her family put winning streak on the threshold of a family because he urinated. When he came back, the winning streak was gone. The whole family looked everywhere, but there was no news. Lien Win was kidnapped by kidnappers and went to another country. On the same day, the Zhen family was burned into a rubble field. This unfortunate experience again and again gave the winning streak a tragic fate. Zhen had to change the grange and take his wife to his father-in-law's house.
Life after growing up
When people learned about winning streak again, she was twelve or thirteen years old. She was raised by a kidnapper in a secluded place and recognized her father. When winning in a row was still attractive, the kidnapper lied to her that her father wanted to sell her because he had no money to pay his debts. At this time, there happened to be a local boy named Feng Yuan. Parents died young, no brothers, and some small property. The first time he saw the girl, he decided to buy a concubine, vowed not to continue to marry, and agreed to go through the door three days later. The fate of winning in a row seems to have changed at this moment. Win-win streak has been worn out for many years, which is the unfortunate marriage of win-win streak. However, it happened that unfortunate fate was playing a trick on this beautiful woman. The kidnapper became suspicious of the money, and the next day he sold Lian Win to Xue Pan, the "overlord" of the Xue family who had a bumper harvest and heavy snow, with the intention of taking away twelve taels of silver and fleeing to other places. Xue Pan is a bully. He is a prostitute. How did the kidnappers escape? He was taken away by two families and killed. The kidnappers begged for mercy, but neither family would accept the cashier, as long as they brought someone. The Xue family was powerful, and Feng Yuan was beaten to pieces. He died three days after being carried home. Xue Pansheng dragged Xiao Lianying home and became a concubine, kicking and kicking. Later, it was gradually called Xiangling by people and Xue Pan's sister Xue Baochai. Cao Xueqin's arrangement to change the name of this unlucky girl has a profound meaning: it means that the lotus flower is noble in texture. If you decorate the willow branches with pure bottle water, or the seat cooked by Tathagata, once you leave the lotus flower, it will stay in the world of mortals, in the sludge, and even become a diamond flower in the wild grass leisure flower community.
A turning point in fate
However, Cao Xueqin is very fond of Xiangling. It can be said that there are two completely different female images in A Dream of Red Mansions: one is as arrogant as Daiyu, Miaoyu and Lingguan; The other is the worldly wisdom of people like Baochai, Xiren and Xiangyun. Cao Xueqin, on the other hand, left these two typical figures behind when he created Xiangling, and made her a naive, pure, gentle and beloved woman. Although Xiangling suffered bad luck, she was still naive and heartless. She always faces everything in the world with a smile and keeps a gentle and single-minded character. Xue Pan went out looking for flowers and courting willows, and was killed. Xiangling cried her eyes swollen. She paid a precious infatuation for herself. Xue Pan went out to do business, and Xue Baochai took her into the Grand View Garden, so that she had a chance to meet all the girls. In order to reveal the temperament of Xiangling's scholarly family, Cao Xueqin also arranged a story about Xiangling's study of poetry. She worshipped Daiyu as a teacher, and after several failures, she finally succeeded. In her dream, she wrote wonderful poems such as "It's hard to hide things, but the shadow is cold" and "Why not win the Chang 'e for ever", which won everyone's appreciation and was added as a member of Haitang Poetry Society. Cao Xueqin planted a delicious water chestnut in the Grand View Garden, and all flowers were blooming. At this time, Xiangling's turning point of fate gave readers a little comfort.
good times don't last long
But it didn't last long, and her bad karma came again. Xue Pan went out to do business and met Xia Jingui again. After a few days, he got stuck and soon married his first wife. The appearance of Jingui made Xiangling step into the valley of death. Before Jingui's future, although she was unfortunate, she was still very self-sufficient in a small world and lived happily and simply. Jingui came to compete for favor and began to find fault. She first ordered Xiangling to sleep with her, but Xiangling refused. Jingui said that she was too dirty to wait on her at night. Soon he pretended to be ill and said it was Xiangling gas; Jingui personally stabbed the paper man, which provoked Xue Pan not to ask indiscriminately, grabbed the latch and hit Xiangling. Xiangling suffered both mental and physical torture. Jingui is also like a tyrant who ran a literary inquisition in history. Even Xue Pan's sister, Xue Baochai, has to find fault with her name. She said, "bloom, this water chestnut, who has seen Xiang? If water chestnut is fragrant, where are those fragrant flowers? But it makes no sense! " Xiangling said, "Not only is it fragrant and fragrant, but even lotus leaves and lotus leaves have a fragrance; However, not as good as flowers. If you are in a quiet day or night, or in the morning, which fragrance smells better than flowers? Even water chestnut, chicken head, reed leaves and reed roots are exposed to the wind, and the fragrance is refreshing. " Jingui said, "In your opinion, is this orchid sweet-scented osmanthus?" Xiangling forgot the taboo when talking about the fun, and said, "The fragrance of orchids and osmanthus flowers is not comparable to other fragrances." In the end, Jingui's maid quickly pointed to Xiangling's face and said, "Go to hell! What's the name of the girl? " Xiangling is a fierce province, and it was renamed "Qiu Ling" according to Jingui. Xiangling finally endured all kinds of insults and torture, cut off the competition in front of her and followed Baochai.

However, God will create injustice for others, Jingui will be self-defeating, and she will fall into a plot designed by herself and be poisoned. Xiangling will lift the taboo and help her to be her first wife. This is another important turning point of Xiangling's fate, just like the first time she may marry Feng Yuan, who is passionate and single-minded, and it is a ray of light in a dark life. Later, she conceived a fetus for the Xue family. Seeing that all the bad luck is about to pass, the dawn is ahead, and an opportunity to completely change her destiny is coming. However, it came too late, too late, because of a lifetime of disasters, bumps, hardships and misfortunes, especially when it was moved out of Xue Pan's room, it was inevitable that it would be sad for the moon, sighing for the lamp, hurting the liver because of qi, and being torn down inside and outside, which had caused the disease of blood exhaustion. In the end, Xiangling gave birth to a beautiful child who felt happy with makeup, but died in a sweat bed during childbirth. The sudden death in this life makes people feel how bleak, obedient and unfortunate Xiangling's fate is, leaving readers with profound thoughts!
