Creation background
The story happened in "Jian 'an at the end of Han Dynasty". At that time, the background was that during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, "a hundred schools of thought were ousted and Confucianism was the only one", and a set of Confucian ethics gradually occupied a dominant position and developed to a quite complete and strict degree. In terms of the marriage system, there are rules and regulations such as "seven out" and "parents are the whole world".
"All parents in the world" is the main cause of Liu Jiao's tragedy. In the atmosphere of this era, under the arrogance of Jiao Mu, Jiao Zhongqing dared to stand on the side of Liu Lanzhi, showing a firm attitude of "sleeping with Lan Zhi and being friends with him", which is commendable.
works appreciation
Peacock Flying Southeast is a sad song based on facts and shaped by chanting. Among them, the death of the protagonist and, on the surface, is the result of the persecution of the fierce and snobbish Mr. Liu. In fact, Jiao Mu and Liu Xiong were also victims of feudal ethics. Because of Jiao Mu and Mr. Liu's original intention, they didn't want to kill their sons and sisters.
This can be seen from the regret that "the two families seek to be buried together" after the death of Liu and Jiao. -Although this is their belated recognition and blessing for Liu Lanzhi, it is also their undying love for Jiao Zhongqing. Although their subjective starting point is self-interest, they also have the desire to unify the lifelong happiness of their loved ones with their own interests.
Mr. Jiao Mu tried to find a balanced green space between himself and the interests of Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi. However, they did not succeed. Here, the problem is profound: after all, Liu Lanzhi and Jiao Zhongqing were killed directly by their hands. Jiao Mu and Mr. Liu also became accomplices of feudal ethics. This kind of social force, which is independent of individual will, is an inevitable reflection of the evil nature of the feudal system at that time.
