1. Sister Xianglin used to have her own home, but how did her relatives treat her?
(1) When she first arrived in Luzhen, she said in paragraph 34: "Her face is blue and yellow", so it can be inferred that she must have eaten badly when she was in Weijiashan. As can be seen from "both hands and feet are growing", on the one hand, I am hardworking, on the other hand, I have a heavy labor burden.
② Paragraph 35: "There is a strict mother-in-law at home", "a teenage brother-in-law" and "My husband died, ten years younger than her". She is 2067 years old. It's time for her brother-in-law to marry a wife. But her family lives on firewood, and she is poor and has no money to marry a wife. What should she do? (Spend money on her)
(3) Paragraph 58: If the villagers are promised, there are not many gifts. If you get married in a remote mountainous area, you can buy 8000 yuan. Your mother-in-law not only married your daughter-in-law, but also made a fortune, which shows that this mother-in-law is really powerful. The description of her in paragraph 40 reveals the author's disapproval and disgust.
(4) He Laoliu was very kind to her and gave birth to a son Amao, but paragraph 67: He Laoliu and Amao are both dead, and she can't keep the widow if she wants to. Uncle is a senior member of the royal family and can recover the royal family's property according to clan rules.
Summary: After she married Wei Xianglin, Sister Xianglin was called "Sister Xianglin". She doesn't have her own name, which shows that she has no personal status. "Marrying a husband and following him" is the embodiment of husband's right. After Xianglinsao's death, her mother-in-law was the absolute authority, and Tang Bo of the Wei family also helped her to go back and sell. By virtue of clan rights, "married people are husbands and husbands are children." The second husband died and the son was gone. According to the feudal ethical code system, only men have the right to inherit, and women have no children to follow, so they have lost their way of life. Uncle He's family came to take over the house and drive her away, which was also based on clan rights. It can be seen that Xianglinsao has no personal status and no independent economic status.
2. In order to make a living and support herself, Sister Xianglin sold her labor and went to work in the landlord's house, but how did her master treat her?
(1) When she first arrived at Lu's house, paragraph 34 said, "Fourth Uncle frowned." As the saying goes, the husband sings with the woman, and the fourth aunt knows that he means to hate her as a widow. Master Lu Si, an old imperial academy diploma, discriminated against Sister Xianglin the first time she saw her.
(2) Going to Lujia, Lujia "didn't add a short line", what's the problem? The word "Beijing" means that short-term workers were hired in previous years. In those years, just because Xianglinsao's Classic didn't add short-term workers, it showed that Xianglinsao was diligent and tired, and it also showed that Master Lu exploited her heavily and squeezed her surplus labor.
(3) After Xianglinsao was taken away by her mother-in-law, paragraph 46 "Shit! However ... ""Hateful "means that her husband's family is hateful. Lv Si only thought that robbing Xianglinsao would damage the dignity of her family, which shows that Lv Si is a selfish person. However, the implication of this sentence is: However, according to feudal clan rights, mother-in-law has the right to deal with widowed daughter-in-law. What else can I say? Lv Si believes that it is natural for Xianglinsao's husband's family to rob Xianglinsao, which shows that he is ruthless and reactionary. Paragraph 49: "Shit!" It means that Mrs. Wei's behavior is abhorrent, and she also hates making her family unhappy. Paragraph 52 "However ……" has two meanings: it is difficult to find a good helper after losing it; She was legally robbed and had nothing to say.
(4) When Sister Xianglin went to Lujia for the second time, paragraph 7 1 "secretly warned Sister Sisao" meant warning; The implication of "although it looks pitiful" is that it is not pitiful and not worthy of sympathy; "She doesn't need to touch her hands when she sacrifices" means you can't touch them at all. Feudal morality holds that women should be loyal to their lives, and starvation is small, and the first festival is big, not to mention the death of two husbands by Sister Xianglin. Master Lu Si can't tolerate this kind of behavior that violates feudal ethics. He insisted that Xianglinsao was "unclean" and "corrupt customs", so Xianglinsao didn't even have the right to hold chopsticks when offering sacrifices. Paragraph 72: "Sacrifice is the most important event for the fourth uncle's family". People in the town who can afford firecrackers and gifts do this every year, and so do every family. This shows the rural situation in China after the Revolution of 1911: people's superstitious thoughts still exist, and theocracy still rules people's spiritual world.
⑤ After the donation threshold, "Xianglinsao's busiest time was also sacrifice", which can reflect her value and make her feel valued. In order to get the right to give and sacrifice when praying, she donated a threshold of atonement with her "accumulated wages" She thought she could "take away the glasses and chopsticks calmly", but what she got was "Don't move, Sister Xianglin!" Such a cry shattered her desire not to be humiliated before her death and not to suffer after her death, and all her struggles were shattered in this fatal blow. She donated ten thousand people to trample on the threshold of God's atonement, which was not recognized by the feudal authority master Lu Si, and even her spiritual sustenance was deprived.
6. Sister Xianglin became useless and was kicked out. It can be seen that Master Lu is clever in squeezing Sister Xianglin. When the blood and sweat were exhausted, she was sent away, causing Sister Xianglin to become a beggar and die on the eve of blessing. Even when Xianglinsao died, she said that she was "neither too late nor too early, but at this time,-this is fallacy!" It is enough to see that he is selfish and heartless, and with the authority of feudal patriarchal ideology and feudal ethics, Xianglinsao is forced to death step by step.
Summary: It can be seen that in the owner's home, Sister Xianglin was discriminated against and despised, bleeding and deprived of spiritual sustenance.
3. How do people in Luzhen treat Sister Xianglin? Are they responsible for Sister Xianglin's death?
(1) What do you think of Liu Ma? If Liu Ma hadn't exposed her scars, would people further ridicule and satirize Sister Xianglin? If she had not bewitched Sister Xianglin's donation threshold, would Sister Xianglin's subsequent attack be so fatal? In paragraph 90, "Liu Ma looked at her face impatiently", "I asked you: Isn't that when the scar on your forehead was damaged?" Liu Ma was tired of Xianglinsao's stories, taking exposing other people's scars as a talk, and took a mocking attitude towards the scars left on her head when Xianglinsao remarried. Mr. Lu Xun was very critical of her in his description. For example, when she laughed at Sister Xianglin, her face shrank like a walnut, and her serious and secretive manner revealed the author's disgust for her, which was completely a common citizen's face.
In fact, Liu Ma and Xianglinsao were also victims of the old society. Although her face is "wrinkled" and her eyes are "dry", she still has to help the landlord during the Spring Festival, which shows that she is an oppressed working woman. However, poisoned by feudal superstition and feudal ethics, she believed in the heresy of heaven and earth and the neo-Confucianism creed of "hunger is small, humiliation is great". As for her telling Yin Si's story to Xianglinsao, it was entirely out of kindness. Her subjective wish is to find a way to "atone" for Xianglinsao and get her out of her misery, not to kill Xianglinsao. However, under the guidance of the ideology of the exploiting class ruling the people-feudal ethics and feudal thoughts, Liu Ma's "prescription" to save Xianglinsao not only failed to produce a healing effect, but also caused unbearable mental pressure on the sisters, which was a soft knife to push Xianglinsao into a more horrible abyss.
③ Luzhen people. Paragraph 77: People in the town have different intonations, but their smiles are cold. Paragraph 79: Men, women and children only take Xianglinsao's story as talk material, and express sympathy with "many tears", in fact, they want to satisfy their curiosity. Paragraph 80: The whole town people are tired of the stories repeatedly told by Sister Xianglin. Paragraph 87: "She may not know that her grief has been chewed and appreciated by everyone for many days, and she has long been a scum, only bored and spurned; But judging from people's laughter, it seems cold and sharp, so there is no need to talk to them again.
Summary: From this point of view, people in Luzhen are indifferent and bored with Xianglinsao, laughing and spitting, which is a soft knife to increase Xianglinsao's pain.
This shows that Sister Xianglin was killed by these people:
(Relatives) Mother-in-law, Uncle, Uncle —— The feudal patriarchal concept (husband right, clan right)
Master Lu Si and Aunt Lu Si-feudal ethics
(Everyone) Liu Ma and Lu Zhen Men and Women-Feudal superstition and ignorance' indifference' (theocracy)
(Intellectuals) "I"-have the ability to oppose feudalism but not resist.
They all pointed the finger at Xianglin's wife.
Xianglinsao was a typical rural working woman in old China. She is hardworking, kind, simple and tenacious, but in the old society, she could not control her own destiny. Instead, she became a trampled, persecuted, fooled and despised figure, and was swallowed up by the old society. She struggled when she was abused, betrayed, forced to remarry and driven away by her mother-in-law, uncle and uncle. In order to let Master Lu and Aunt Lu let her do the sacrificial work before praying, get rid of the shackles of superstition in her soul and strive for the rights of being a human being, she donated all her money to the Land Temple, and she gave silent protests in the face of all kinds of sarcasm, insults and injuries from men and women in Helu Town. In feudal society, Xianglinsao couldn't find anyone who violated feudal etiquette, not to mention she had to resist, which was unacceptable to feudal ethics and feudal thoughts. It is Master Lu Si who is guided by ethics and feudalism, and it is the people who are poisoned by this ideology and culture. It is their thoughts that push a kind, simple and tenacious woman into a terrible hell. The three ropes of feudal society-husband power, clan power and theocracy-put Xianglinsao to death. As Comrade Ding Ling said, "Sister Xianglin must die. People who sympathize with her, like ruthless people and selfish people, forced her to death and added pain to her.
From the death of Xianglinsao, we can see that Blessing profoundly reflects the tragic fate of working women under the destruction of feudal ethics, and exposes the cannibalism of feudal thoughts and feudal ethics. Thus, the typical tragic fate of this suffering woman in the typical feudal social environment is deeply presented to us.
