The original sigh is homophonic, and the four seasons in the Red Mansion and Jiafu are Yuan Chun, Ying Chun, Tan Chun and Xi Chun respectively. Famous craftsmen and writers all have metaphors and regrets when commenting on these four writers. Although they are proud of the Jia family, they can't have a good result. Yuan Chun was unpopular in the palace and died of sudden illness for no reason. Yingchun died of humiliation by her husband's family. Cherish spring from childhood negative, and finally avoid the world to become a monk; Tanchun has the heart to help the dangerous building, but he is unable to return to heaven.
Well, yes, what I want to talk about this time is Jia Tanchun, a wonderful figure in the Four Springs of Jiafu, the home of the Twelve Golden Maidens in the Red Chamber. This is a difficult role to survive. Why do you say that? We look at her background. Except the eldest daughter Yuan Chun, who is the second daughter of Rong Guogong, the other three women are concubines. Concubines are born to concubines in the family, and they have no status at all, and they are not qualified to inherit the status of householder. Referring to Tanchun's younger brother Jia Huan's position and treatment at home, it is different from Baoyu's. Yingchun owed thousands of taels of silver for her father Jia's forgiveness. Knowing that she was bad, she sold Yingchun to Sun Shaozu as her wife. It can be seen that illegitimate children are hard to get ahead in a big family, and they have to be traded as commodities, and their fate can be imagined. Although Tan Chun is an ordinary woman, she fought her way out with her unique charm and self-cultivation. In the end, she almost turned the tide and saved Jia Fu, becoming the hero with the best chance to reverse the plot in the book. But Mr. Cao didn't write the ending that everyone wanted to see, which was a great shock. This is precisely the essence of A Dream of Red Mansions, and tragedy is always the biggest driving force for the sublimation of the novel.
Through the description of three girls in the book, let's see how this low-ranking female diaosi became the mainstay of Jia's later period through her own efforts.
Tanchun first appeared when Daiyu first entered Jiafu. In the book, Daiyu saw Tanchun's words: cut shoulders and slim waist, slender figure, duck egg face, fine eyes, eager to fly, the essence of literary talent, forget the customs when you see it. I have to say that Tanchun was in good shape and beautiful when he was young. She has been a beauty embryo since she was a child, and she is more talented. At that time, he was only about 10 years old. Baoyu insisted on telling an allusion praising Daiyu, and Tanchun hit the nail on the head, saying that Baoyu made it up and tore down Baoyu's platform. However, Baoyu was not angry. It can be seen here that Tanchun and Baoyu have a very good relationship. The public can ridicule this little devil in troubled times, but the other two ladies dare not do so. The better the relationship, the closer the acquaintance.
Except for the elder sister Yuan Chun, who entered the palace early and became a talented woman, the other three Spring Babies and Baoyu stayed with the old lady and were carefully taught by her. Tanchun and Yingchun are both concubines, roughly the same age. However, because one is smart and the other is weak, the family often calls Yingchun a wooden girl, which means that she is too timid to speak, while Tanchun is smart and persistent, which will make people like her. Knowing that Baoyu was in favor and was free to go in and out of Jia's house, she paid Baoyu to ask him out and bring her some gadgets. In return, she sewed shoes for Baoyu. For this reason, his mother, Aunt Zhao, scolded him, saying that he only knew that Lang used money to please his younger brother, but regarded his younger brother Jia Huan as nothing.
Tanchun began with Baoyu and gradually approached to please Mrs. Wang, aiming at Mrs. Wang, because she is the female head of Guo Rong's government, and her power is second only to that of Jia Mu, and Mrs. Wang's position is there. For example, Jia She, the eldest son, wanted to marry Yuanyang when he was a child. He was so angry that he even sprayed his second daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, accusing everyone of fooling the old lady. No one is really good to her, even the maids around her have to fight for it. When Mrs. Wang was scolded, her heart was bitter. Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang are sisters, so it is not easy to tell them apart. Granddaughter Li Wan and cousin Baochai are not in the right place and can't interrupt. One of them said that they had offended two dignitaries together, and the scene was once very embarrassing.
Tanchun has a heart. First, she needs such an opportunity to stand out. Second, she also has the courage and identity to stand out. She is Jia Jia's granddaughter and Mrs. Wang's own daughter. Tanchun is not her own, but she is Jia Zheng's daughter, that is, Mrs. Wang's daughter. You can speak with emotion and reason. So she stood up and said, "What does this have to do with my wife? The old lady thought about it. There are also uncles who want to take people from the house. How did the little aunt know? I know and I don't know. " Grandmother Jia didn't finish, but smiled and said, "I'm old! Don't laugh at me, your sister She is very filial to me, unlike my first wife, who is always afraid of my master, and her mother-in-law is right in front of her. Can be wronged ... "
Jia said this to Aunt Xue. Tanchun's words immediately changed Jia's mind, which not only maintained Mrs. Wang's face, but also helped to please Jia, and the atmosphere suddenly eased. From then on, Mrs. Wang also praised Tanchun and needed a caring person to do things for her. Although Wang Xifeng is good, she is also her niece, but after all, she is the daughter-in-law of the big house, and it is unreasonable to intervene in the second house. Tanchun is diligent and sweet-talking, and Mrs. Wang is willing to hand over the affairs management to her. Wang Xifeng was amazed at her management ability.
In the fifty-fifth chapter of the book, it is said that Wang Xifeng can't be a director because of gynecological diseases, and no one is in charge at home. Mrs. Wang asked Li Wan, the eldest daughter-in-law, to serve concurrently, but Li Wande was too powerful to rule, and all the servants and maids were arrogant. Mrs. Wang thought of Tanchun and asked her to come out to help Li Wan and Baochai manage together.
The first charge is to establish justice from your own mother. The reason is that Tanchun's uncle has left, and according to the rules, he has to take some money for funeral expenses. Mrs. Li Wan was even more kind, saying that she would pay forty taels according to the example of beating people. Baochai was silent at that time, apparently by default, but Tanchun refused. She had to ask the truth, turned over the old accounts and found that the amount was different, from 20 Liang to 40 Liang, 100 Liang. Let's talk about tanchun first.
Maybe, as Aunt Zhao, Tanchun's biological mother, she should only take twenty taels, but Li Wan and Baochai just want to go there for Tanchun's sake. Jia Fu is not short of money. It happened that tanchun shouldn't be, business is business, and there are rules when you have money at home. For this reason, Aunt Zhao cursed Tanchun for eating inside and picking outside, because she was an unfilial daughter, and as an illegitimate child, she had to go up if her identity was unknown. Tanchun has always been ashamed of himself, and only by trying to win the favor of Mrs. Wang has she become the master today. Her own mother is good or bad, and she didn't help her understand, but she also fell in love. Suddenly there was another spring fire, and it was useless to persuade Pinger not to give more funeral expenses. In the end, mother and daughter broke up in discord.
In the second scene, the steward established Tanchun's prestige, and Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing fought each other, leading to the attack on the Grand View Garden. Wang Shanbao, the slave of the Wang family, tried his best to humiliate all the rooms in the Grand View Garden, and the rest of the sisters dared to make any noise. Only Tanchun tried to resist, not only against Wang Xifeng, but also slapped Wang Shanbao to protect the faces of the maids in the garden.
Wang Xifeng can't be a director because of illness, and her ability to explore spring is outstanding. She took over the Grand View Garden with all her strength. In the fifty-sixth book, it is said that Miss San manages the Grand View Garden, and the rooms are in a mess. She immediately thought of a way to formulate management regulations, requiring maids to report on time, and digging talented people among slaves to do what he was good at, such as planting flowers, watering, planting trees, cleaning and so on. In addition, the cost of each room is controlled.
It just didn't last long. Tanchun's series of excessive acts violated Mrs. Wang's intention of eating to death and there was a hidden danger of seizing power. Mrs. Wang was unwilling to be marginalized by power, so when a foreign vassal and powerful family wanted to marry Yingchun to Jia Fu, Mrs. Wang agreed to this marriage and hurriedly packed Tanchun to marry Nanyang. Since then, the Jia family has returned to the hands of the Wangfu, but the family has been declining and finally fell into the fate of being robbed.
Tanchun is a typical strong woman, resourceful, ambitious and strong, and wants to make a career. However, she was in a feudal official family, and she was a concubine. She is still a daughter, and everything is involuntary. The three great sorrows of her life are concentrated on her. Far away from Nanyang, I went to a strange place and a strange family. Although the Jia family is honored, the other party is also a noble family. Not only did all the efforts in the first half of my life come to nothing, but I had to start all over again for the rest of my life. So do people. I hope she can get a better fate in another family!
The conclusion of Tan Chun in the original work is: brilliant, ambitious, born in the last days, and lucky. Qingming tears are sent to the riverside to see, and Dongfeng dreams.
These four sentences describe Tan Chun's life well. Compared with other tragic endings of "Three Springs", she is better! Being so strong in such a fierce struggle is a model for women.
