Pu Songling was born in the 13th year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1640) and died in the 54th year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (A.D. 17 15). His name is Liu Xian, a blade master, and his nickname is Liu Quan. Born in Zichuan County, Shandong Province, Zichuan District, Zibo. Pu Songling was born in a declining landlord family. He was keen on imperial examinations all his life, but he was always frustrated. He made an exception at 7 1, so he was deeply touched by the irrationality of the imperial examination system.
He completed 8 volumes of 49 1 Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio in his life, with about 400,000 words. The creation of Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio lasted for more than forty years, running through most of Pu Songling's life. Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio is a legendary novel, most of which are ghost stories and some anecdotes.
Why do you want to create Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio? Pu Songling made it very clear in his Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio:
Pilo with plum, feeling coquettish; Ghosts and ghosts, Long Claw Lang is addicted to singing. There is a reason for boasting of nature and not choosing a good voice. Pine trees, the fire of fireflies in autumn, enchanting brilliance; Drive away the dust of wild horses and you will laugh at each other. Not Gan Bao, but Ya Ai Sou Shen; Love is like Huangzhou, talking about ghosts is gratifying; When you smell it, you write it, so you make it up
For a long time, people all over the world posted in mailboxes, so things got together well and benefited each other. ..... It's only midnight and the lights are dim; Noise, the case is cold and suspicious. Many a mickle makes a mickle, continuing the ghost record; Floating white pen, only a lonely and angry book; Fasten this, it's sad! Ha ha! Afraid of frost and cold birds, holding trees without temperature; Autumn insects hang on the moon and lean against the fence to keep warm. If you know me, it is between the green forest and the black plug!
Pu Songling is a down-and-out scholar, who has tried every time and is down and out. Later, I worked as a private school teacher for other people's children, that is, sitting in the museum. I have lived outside for decades and lived a simple and poor life. His wife can't read, but she is very virtuous and bears children for him.
Pu Songling has been a disciple of the wealthy Bi family for thirty years. It is confirmed that at first, I sat in Gaby for economic reasons, that is, to support my family. Later, their children got married one after another and became rich, but they still lived in Bi's house.
This is because, on the one hand, the relationship between father and son is getting better and better, and it is maintained again and again; On the other hand, this wealthy family has what Pu Songling wants, a rich collection of books, an elegant environment, and no interpersonal communication with Ding Bai. Most of Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio were written here.
Pu Songling, for example, is well-read and versatile, with excellent poetry and books. However, his inner world is complicated, which can be seen from his Strange Story from a Strange Studio. Like other feudal literati, "book anger" is the best expression when there is no way to serve the country. "
Many a mickle makes a mickle, continuing the ghost record; Floating white pen, only a lonely and angry book; Fasten this, it's sad! "Repeated battles and defeats in the examination room have made Pu Songling's spirit suffer, making it difficult to achieve spiritual balance in the world. My heart is full of sadness and loneliness: "I have traveled all over the sea, but I don't have a confidant;" I asked the sky many times, but I didn't answer the book.
However, it is poor and clumsy, and it has become a delusion of forests and valleys. "("Tang Jianchuan Wang Hou Yi Qi "), even issued a" who knows me, it is between Qing Lin and Hesse "lament. When the road to the imperial examination is broken and there is no hope of making contributions, writing a book and making a statement becomes a crater of his "loneliness and anger", and the grief and depression contained in it can only be vented in "making a statement", thus realizing self-worth.
The ancient proposition of "writing a book with indignation" has been confirmed again in him. However, the appearance of a beautiful young woman in literature changed Pu Songling's life and his creative thinking and artistic image of Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio.
Second, Xia Qing in Pu Songling's heart.
A considerable part of the title of Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio is to expose and satirize the corruption of the imperial examination system and violently attack the corruption and debauchery of the officialdom, which is the object he dares to speak out in real life.
On the contrary, it is the fox and the ghost woman who love Yu and write down kindness and justice. This is the person he wants to love but dare not love in real life. Then, we can't help asking: Who is Pu Songling, a woman who wants to love but dare not love in real life?
It can be said that Pu Songling can write so many enchanting and coquettish love stories not only by his life experience, but also by his imagination. So many love stories can't be the personal experience of a poor scholar. Of course, there is another important reason why Pu Songling can write so many love novels-it is related to his dream lover Gu.
Pu Songling is a gentleman. He wrote that he was "ugly but handsome", and he was "wooden" and not good at talking. But as a writer, his inner world is very rich. In this sense, it is normal for him to have a dream lover.
As the saying goes, "a friend's wife can't fight", how can Pu Songling have wild thoughts about his friend's concubines? What I want to say here is that our so-called "dream lover" exists only in consciousness, in imagination, not in real life, and not in skin dating.
Pu Songling has an indescribable but strong love for Gu. Most importantly, Gu is a literary beauty who has had close contacts with Pu Songling.
Sun Hui, with a hundred words and an easy word, is Pu Songling's hometown, classmate and good friend. In the 10th year of Kangxi (167 1), Pu Songling was invited to Baoying County, and Sun Hui served as county magistrate. Gu is a concubine who can sing and dance well and likes to write poems. When Sun Hui gets together with friends, she often takes ancient Xia Qing with her. It was from this time that ancient Xia Qing began to appear in Pu Songling's poems.
That year, Pu Songling wrote at least four poems about Gu, which shows how much Pu Songling loved this beauty in the south of the Yangtze River.
Pu Songling wrote in the poem "Choose 100 Tang Poems for Xia Qing":
In order to select hundreds of fragrance poems, the keynote of each poem is musk orchid.
The warbler sends out a real pair. She likes to pay Chloe to sing and listen.
Pu Songling chose 100 quatrains in Tang poems for Gu, and made her sing like Oriole. Pu Songling called her "Kerr", and "Kerr" is a satisfying person.
Pu Songling's poem only mentions Gu and affectionately calls it "Xia Qing". Therefore, choosing Tang poems for Gu may be Gu's request or Pu Songling's recommendation. Pu Songling's Listening to Xia Qing's Poems;
A man's voice is charming and refreshing.
Such as wearing willows in March, drinking and listening to orioles.
As you can imagine, Gu is quite young, with a nice voice and a good figure, like an innocent girl.
Following "Listening to Xia Qing and Yin Shi" is "Youchang Sentence":
The painted walls of the flag pavilion are low, and elegant poems are still fragrant.
It is best to have a bosom friend in the future. The colors of Aika trees are hidden and sunny.
This poem is still a poem about Gu, and there is a sentence that says "Love to hold the clouds obliquely". This shows that Pu Songling has not listened to Gu's poems once or twice. He knows which poem Gu Xiaqing likes to recite best.
In the same year, there were three poems about the same woman, which was rare in Pu Songling's life. What is more noteworthy is that this year Pu Songling also wrote a long poem, which was not marked as Gu. In "Eighteen Rhymes of Dreams", Pu Songling dreamed of meeting a goddess. What is Pu Songling like as a dream goddess?
Be silly and charming after being tired, and charming and crazy after being drunk.
Meishan is low and beautiful, and the eyes and words send streamers.
Weak envy of willows, no mood to sleep Haitang.
Then, why did Gu so highly praise Changling's "West Palace Spring Complaint"? During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, poets Wang Changling, Gao Shi and Wang Zhihuan listened to geisha singing poems in restaurants (flag pavilions). After they heard singing their own poems, they drew a number on the wall as a mark to determine the level of singing.
Geisha always sings two poems by Wang Changling, Parting with Xin Jian at Furong Inn and Long Letter and Autumn Poems, a poem by Gao Shi, Crying for Single Father Liang Shaofu and a poem by Wang Zhihuan, and Wang Changling wins. The fourth sentence in the poem, "The color of the tree is hidden and the sun shines", refers to Wang Changling's four-line poem "West Palace Spring Complaint", which says:
Xigong night is quiet and fragrant, and I want to roll the bead curtain and hate it for a long time.
Obliquely holding the clouds and seeing the moon, the hazy trees are hidden in the sun.
This poem describes the silence and flowers in the West Palace in the middle of the night, creates a desolate artistic conception that no one enjoys the beautiful scenery, and reflects the resentment and sadness of the fallen concubine. "Cloud" in the poem is synonymous with ancient musical instruments such as lyre and harp, and "Zhaoyang" is the name of the palace where Zhao lived in Han Dynasty. Gu likes to recite Tang poetry, and it is also a poem by Wang Changling, which is also reflected in Pu Songling's poem "Death, Play with Zhen Sun's admonition". "Yi Hui BianYan early.
There are hundreds of poems in the Tang Dynasty, and the sentence "A Spring Complain in the West Palace" written by Long Biao is very consistent with the above poems. It can be seen that Gu expressed his personal feelings that he was not valued by reciting Wang Changling's "West Palace's Spring Complaint". According to the available information, Sun Hui indulged in debauchery, and his wives were numerous. As a concubine, Gu's family is sometimes not favored, so it is inevitable that she lives alone. She will express her feelings through Wang Changling's poems.
Of course, this also shows that during this period, Pu Songling had frequent contact with Gu Shi and often listened to Gu Shi's poems, because only in this way did the author know which poems Gu Shi liked best to recite.
Later, after Gu died, Pu Songling wrote a mourning poem to express his condolences. Thus, in Pu Songling's mind, Gu undoubtedly occupies a considerable weight. The four-line "Wounded Gu" cloud:
The song seems to be in my ear, and I dare not look at the tomb door without an echo.
There is powder left in the swallow house, and the fragrant soul hangs under the peony pavilion.
The poem "The Swallow House" is in Xuzhou. In the preface to the Three Swallows House, Bai Juyi said in the Tang Dynasty: "Xuzhou is an old Zhang Shangshu, who loves prostitutes and looks forward to it. He can sing and dance well and is elegant. ..... Shangshu died and was buried in Dongluo, while Pengcheng (Xuzhou) had a former residence with a small building and a swallow. Looking forward to nostalgic love, never getting married, living in the building for more than ten years, alone.
It's still here today. "Zhang Shang's title, is the son of a famous minister Zhang Jianfeng. It's Zhang Cheng's favorite concubine, surnamed Guan. In his poems, Pu Songling compared Gu with Guan, praising Gu for staying chaste after his death and not remarrying. Pu Songling said in the poem, Gu died, and the people in Furong Village where she lived before her death went empty, leaving only cosmetics.
Peony Pavilion refers to the legendary drama Peony Pavilion written by Tang Xianzu in Ming Dynasty. The story is about Du Liniang, the daughter of Du Bao, the prefect of Nan 'an. In her dream, she fell in love with scholar Liu Mengmei and died for love. She was buried under the peony pavilion, beside the plum tree. After a life-and-death struggle, Du and Liu finally got married.
Through the immortal love between Du Liniang and Liu Mengmei, the play praises the indomitable struggle of young men and women in pursuit of free and happy love, and expresses Du Liniang's firm persistence in the pursuit of love. In his poems, Pu Songling compared his soul to that of Gu, euphemistically expressing that he would follow Liu Mengmei's example to mourn Gu, which also implied that he hoped to continue his love affair with Gu in the afterlife.
In this way, Pu Songling's feelings for Gu are also revealed. This kind of feeling should not be the love between men and women, but the feeling of mutual appreciation between talented people and talented women, which is similar to the so-called fourth kind of feeling now, that is, an feeling between men and women because of the * * * interests and tacit cooperation. Not the love of soul mate, but the tacit understanding.
For Gu, Pu Songling appreciates her good literary accomplishment, charming and lovely words and deeds, and regrets her unfortunate life later. This kind of feeling is just a spiritual feeling, never mixed with any selfish desires. In this sense, it is more appropriate to say that Gu is Pu Songling's "dream lover" or "confidante".
Third, Gu's influence on Pu Songling's creation of Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio.
Many beautiful women in Pu Songling's Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio have the shadow of Gu, who is his friend's concubine.
(A) a beautiful dream marriage
Pu Songling said that listening to Gu recite poems is a kind of beautiful enjoyment. "A man's voice is charming and his ears are refreshing." "Pull out willows in March and listen to orioles." It is not an exaggeration to describe it as pouring pearls, large and small, into a plate of jade. Xia Qing is becoming more and more fond of this poor scholar who has never met his own talent. Pu Songling's love for Xia Qing is mixed with the double feelings of lover and little sister.
Seeing Xia Qing flying like a swallow, he wanted to catch the jade arm. Xia Qing's twist dance is so charming that he can't help holding him in his arms. The most fascinating thing is Xia Qing's voice, singing and singing, and the jade is broken. Gu charmed Pu Songling, thinking about tea and rice.
We can see Pu Songling's obsession with Gu from the article "Axiu" in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio. I don't think Liu Zigu's obsession with Axiu exists. If Axiu doesn't get married, everything will be fine, and all shall be well. This is the marriage fantasy of Pu Songling and Gu.
Pu Songling s Three Poems;
Xiujuanjuan, the green pearl looks like a fairy. When the phoenix was born, the wing powder was not dry that year. Short hair and fragrant shoulders, begonia sleeps. Obviously, the prostitute in Yuedong once lived in this world. The thin arms are half-hugged, the waist is full of handles, and the shadow floats with the swallow.
I love myself again, and I'm just a beginner in helping powder, so I can bend my legs. That's the funniest place to laugh, especially for people who are naive and love makeup. Under the window, the jade wrist is light, like clouds and smoke. Listening to the song, the jade is broken and the pearl is round, and the wisdom is early. Hundreds of people in the Tang Dynasty only loved a poem named "West Palace's Spring Complaint" written by Long Biao.
Yet we called and urged a thousand times before she started toward us, ZhuangRong stood squinting at the curtain. When I was teaching a poem to a guest, my voice didn't ring and I was dizzy with shame. I remember trembling like a flower, graceful like a willow, and feeling infinite. I hate crazy people who travel around Qian Qian in pink collars and embroidered belts. I haven't taken Xianban since I was a few years old, and I don't know how I won that year. Sister Zhao said, Snini, I pity you!
In the ci, the author compares Gu to a geisha Green Pearl in Shi Chong in the Jin Dynasty, to a petite phoenix, and to a young geisha in the Moon Palace, asking you to praise her youth and beauty. Gu's like Haitang just woke up, tender willow just fell asleep, like a swallow coming in the air, smiling, simple and naive.
She writes Tang poems silently, like clouds and paper; Recite Tang poetry like an oriole. Among the quatrains of Tang Dynasty 100, Wang Changling's "West Palace Complaint" is her favorite. Although she was born in a brothel, she had a strong self-esteem and people were waiting for her, so she came out to accompany the guests and stood there solemnly, her eyes glancing at the painted curtain in the distance.
Let her recite poems to the guests, and blush before opening her mouth, like trembling flowers and swaying willows. The guests tried their best to tease her, but she bowed her head and felt the embroidered ribbon shyly. The author hasn't seen Gu in recent years. Should she be more beautiful?
Even if Zhao sisters see her, they will say: I love this girl! Although in Pu Songling's works, Gu is beautiful and pure, but she is not a good family, nor a small jasper, but a brothel woman, which can be clearly seen from the expression between the lines, especially the phrase "prostitute in the moon cave".
Even if pure and naive again, Xia Qing will not be indifferent to Pu Songling's fiery eyes and goodwill. Xia Qing's distress is that she found another equally fiery eye, from Sun Hui, a magistrate of a county.
When Sun Hui decided to redeem Xia Qing and accept Xia Qing as his concubine, Xia Qing had mixed feelings. She seemed to hear a helpless sigh from Mr. Pu Songling's heart. It is conceivable that Pu Songling would rescue Gu without hesitation if he was not short of money. Unfortunately, he is poor and helpless.
Just read Axiu and you will know how beautiful Xia Qing's world is in his mind. Axiu the fox and Axiu the beautiful girl. A scholar fell in love with the girl Axiu, and Fox Fairy became a combination of Axiu and scholar. When the scholar knows that Axiu is a liar, he will fire her. Axiu, a fox, said that she didn't want to have a scholar, but she was comparable to Axiu on earth.
This article does not have a close-up of the beauty of the fox. Through the comparison of three beautiful women, the fox woman's love for beauty is set off. Liu Zigu fell in love with Axiu, a pure and beautiful girl. Yes, the fox fairy is very jealous.
She tried her best to compare with Axiu. As a result, Axiu was the most beautiful girl in Liu Zigu's heart. Pu Songling's contradiction lies in not hating the fox, but giving her infinite sympathy and expectation. Finally, the fox became the matchmaker between Liu Zigu and Axiu. Everything will be fine, and all shall be well. Helpless Pu Songling fantasizes that such a kind fox can help him realize the perfect combination with the ancient times. Under such a social background, Pu Songling can only dream like this.
From Axiu, we can see Pu Songling's contradiction and his expectation for Gu. Even after her death, Gu, who kept the festival for her, was lonely, accompanied only by the blue light, while Pu Songling, a poor scholar who was teaching in the academy at that time, was her soul friend, close at hand, but out of reach.
Two people are suffering in two small rooms, one is in Lacrimosa every day, and the other is writing poems every night. With blurred eyes, they can only imagine the beauty of love in the spiritual sky, and conjure up beautiful fox spirits under the disguise of dark night to save them and complete the best combination of life.
(b) Women chase daydreams.
Nie, the charming and domineering Nie written by Pu Songling, came to Ning's bedside at the end of the month and whispered, "I don't sleep on a moonlit night, and I would like to repair my face." Ning Cai Chen sternly reprimanded her. This kind of ambiguous way of rejecting people thousands of miles away is really rare. Pu Songling understands that Gu is not a brave woman like Nie. Even if Sun Hui snubbed her, she dared not cross the moral barrier and enter Pu Songling's emotional world.
As Pu Songling, the same is true. My friend's wife can't play. After all, society is too realistic. At that time, there were too few women "chasing". Therefore, Pu Songling always likes to fantasize about the beautiful fox fairy girl, coming to the window of the swallow mud spider silk and smiling at the fallen scholar, or in the middle of nowhere, a Wushan just happened to have sex, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Pu Songling is psychosexuality.
Xia Qing is not the kind of woman to chop and change. Since she married Sun Hui, she has been treating Sun Hui wholeheartedly, so Pu Songling was very unhappy. He wrote a poem:
Stealing spring ci imitates the Han palace,
Lang Junsuo was dizzy and blushed.
You know, it's not stingy,
Learning to create new words is unfinished. ?
This is Pu Songling's suspicion of Xia Qing's psychology. It's hard to guess a woman's mind, but it's also hard to beat Pu Songling.
Sun Hui is rich and powerful, and his wives and concubines compete for favor. These wives and concubines are vying for favor. Where are the cowardly and introverted Gu's rivals? Under such circumstances, Xia Qing seems to have figured it out, writing poems and lyrics, swallowing tears and pretending to be happy.
She practiced hard and made rapid progress in learning poetry, so that "the boudoir became famous day by day." "Poetry is called Yu Lang every day" to show her humility to Lang Jun and "twist poetry to catch the topic". She was half coquetry and half earnest in asking Sun Hui for advice. Sun Hui, who has always been romantic, has no time to take care of women like Lin Daiyu.
Later, he went to Beijing to be an official, and Gu was left in the desolate mountain village where the Sun family lived. This mountain village is called "Kuishan Village".
In March of the 25th year of Kangxi (1686), Sun Hui died of illness, and Pu Songling did not write a poem to mourn her. However, in the twenty-seventh year of Kangxi (1688), Gu, who had been unhappy, died of illness, when she was only in her thirties. Despite his death, Pu Songling wrote a poem "Wounded and Died Young" to express his condolences. To this end, some experts call Gu Pu Songling's confidante, while others call Gu Pu Songling's dream lover.
After Gu's death, Pu Songling, who had a glimmer of hope, was exhausted and extremely sad. 47-year-old Pu Songling wrote a mourning poem "Wounded Gu":
The song seems to be in my ear,
Looking at the tomb door didn't reply.
The powder left over from the swallow house,
A fragrant soul hangs under the peony pavilion.
At this time, Pu Songling did not call Gu "Ji Gu", but called him by his first name.
Gu can be found in Su Qiu, The Woman in Green, Bai Qiulian and Ying Ning. How much Pu Songling hopes that even a lovely bee, a butterfly, a bird, a charming smile like Nie, or an innocent smile like that, is playful and willful.
I think Gu will live in Pu Songling's heart until his death. Reading Liaozhai, I often feel a wisp of ghost haunting the night sky, bending over and looking at the beloved person in the world, full of bitterness, bitterness and sadness, as well as infinite acacia, pity, love and attachment to my beloved confidant.
Expressed the author's helplessness in the face of his beloved. Although he is full of love, he can't fall in love. In this case, hallucinations occur, thoughts begin to wander, and souls wander in the sky. How pathetic.
(3) Self-fantasy of wishing happiness.
Since Gu is a friend's wife, Pu Songling can only be a spiritual companion. Embodied in his works, it is a spiritual fantasy, hoping for an encounter. In Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, there are many such articles, such as Redjade, Parallel, and even a poor scholar who eats soft rice to express his feelings.
It is necessary for a woman to be beautiful and moving, and it is also necessary for a beautiful woman not to add troubles and burdens. Even come and go in a hurry, as a double comfort of spirit and body. Therefore, Pu Songling's obsession with Gu's thoughts has almost become an idiotic dream.
This fantasy has created the "soft rice dream" of many serial writers, because Pu Songling's inner spiritual companion has a special liking for himself, but he is penniless and can't save his sweetheart in from the mire. This is exactly Gu's initiative and talent, which is reflected in his works and his hope for fantasy.
Therefore, most of the beautiful women in Pu Songling's works are emotionally hungry, coquettish and very lonely, thus "catching up" with those poor scholars. Parallelism in Parallelism not only satisfies the emotional and physical emptiness of the poor scholar, but also bears children for him. Even Luo Zifu is an eccentric sour scholar who eats a bowl and watches a pot for a beautiful flower city.
(4) The perfection of Gu idols leads to the filth and meanness of the male world.
Most of the women in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio are perfect. They take care of their husbands, educate their children, manage their families diligently, have children, are smart, generous, filial to their parents, and even have stunts. On the contrary, which men can do nothing but recite a few ancient poems, are helpless, timid, even narrow-minded, dirty and obscene.
Look at Xiaocui, Ying Ning, Hua Guzi, Xiao Xie, Jiao Na, Nie and so on in Liaozhai. They are lovely, kind, naive, considerate and almost perfect.
Although Pu Songling described people as foxes and regarded fox women as his ideal female role, which endowed them with spirituality, they are elusive and not limited by any social and natural conditions, and can help others achieve their goals under any circumstances.
He asked them to act as saviors of poor scholars, and let them punish evil and promote good, without the magical power of the fox woman. Mainly reflected in their prediction of the future, they can clearly predict the life span of the hero and the crisis the hero faces, and preemptively. The magic power of fox woman is also reflected in her lifestyle. This virtue and magical power in them is the artistic representation of the author's beautiful ideal.
These fox women images written by Pu Songling contradict the ugly attributes of traditional fox women images, but they are endowed with beautiful thoughts, qualities, feelings and personalities, making them not only the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature, but also the symbol of women's truth, goodness and beauty. Pu Songling's ghost foxes are gorgeous and spotless, and all of them are very considerate and beautiful angels.
On the contrary, filth, hypocrisy, malice, reality, boredom, interests and so on. The men's world is all targeted by Pu Songling. He especially hates corrupt officials who vent their animal desires by treating kind women as playthings. In The Beautiful Woman, Pu Songling's aesthetic ideal and evaluation of female beauty are concentrated. Therefore, the fox is the beautiful spokesperson of Pu Songling's spiritual world.
(5) subverted the image of the fox for thousands of years.
After Gu's death, poor Pu Songling could only be seen in his dreams. He wrote in "Eighteen Rhymes of Dreams" that he dreamed of meeting the goddess:
Silly and charming after fatigue,
It's charming and crazy when you come.
Meishan crooning show,
Eye language sends ribbons.
Weakly jealous of willow trees,
Sleep in begonia.
This goddess can only be gu. Pu Songling often said that Gu is simple and naive, and it is a unique word in Pu Songling's poems to describe Gu with willow and begonia. Therefore, Dream Eighteen Rhymes is actually a beautiful turn that Pu Songling dreamed of.
As a result, Pu Songling, who had no intention of settling down, sent his feelings to the fox, expanding the imagination space of the spiritual world, thus producing many images of foxes in his works, one by one glamorous. Because the fox before Pu Songling was considered as a monster and an ominous thing. Since the appearance of Liaozhai, the fox fairy has been completely beautified, which makes many men look forward to the appearance of the night fox.
When we opened Liaozhai, a large part of it was about the relationship between men and women, which was carried out in the clever arrangement and bold pursuit of the fox. Many pages mercilessly mocked those respectable gentlemen. These cute and even naughty foxes are naive and unrestrained, come and go freely, love openly and hate naturally.
This is also a woman that men dream of. Marx said a passage when he discussed human's natural nature, to the effect that human's natural nature determines human's real behavior. Love is the true love between men and women and the opposite sex, which is understandable, but it is restricted by cruel feudal ethics.
Talking about "the words of parents' orders and matchmakers", "three obedience and four virtues" and so on, a large number of abnormal marriages such as "pointing to the belly for marriage", "early marriage" and "child bride" have appeared. "And so on, among them, women suffer the most. In this case, both men and women are in terrible fear of love. Therefore, it is inevitable that the fantastic mood appears in the fox style, which is also a passive resistance of Pu Songling to the feudal marriage system.
Now people's basic requirement for housewives is to "go down to the kitchen and go up to the hall." This requirement is far from the requirements of ancient men for female foxes. Look at the fox in the serial. They are not only beautiful, but also literary, humorous, naive and natural. More importantly, they flatter, which can be described as "looking back and smiling, full of charm, and the makeup of the sixth palace faded into nothing." Beautiful women are not necessarily "flattering", on the contrary, "flattering" women must be beautiful.
The most powerful killer for fox women to please men is "flattery". The so-called "charm", she is not only beautiful, but also a kind of accomplishment, not only the appearance of dressing up, but also an internal accomplishment. She not only has Li Qingzhao's style of "with faint fragrant sleeves, Mo Tao is needless, the curtain rolls west wind, and people are thinner than yellow flowers", but also Ying Ning's love and smile; Both chivalrous and fearless, and tender as water; It can not only write lyrics, but also bring wine to the wind; Can be considerate, and can distinguish between love and hate; What ordinary people can't reach is the little magic in the clouds and fog.
In this way, foxes are worse than women nowadays. Such a woman is not attracted by that man, and which hero is not moved? Such a beautiful woman is an idol-like woman and a beautiful product of Pu Songling's mind.
Liaozhai created a brand-new idealized female image for us. This image transcends time and space, this image is gorgeous like a flower, and this woman image is like a flower like a dream.
When a fox looks at a person, he can be fascinated by squinting. Why do third parties often succeed? Listen to the woman's scolding and you will understand: "That fox took your soul away?" Fox, a heady woman, you say, once valued, who will escape from her hand?
The fox in Liaozhai has naturally become the ideal female image of men, which is timeless and dreamlike.
Although a fox-like woman is beautiful and enchanting, she can only live in the dream of an infatuated man forever. In a class society, although people live under the condition of continuous progress of civilization, as long as the class exists and people's hierarchical concept exists, fox-like women will not appear.
Why does extramarital affairs still exist and get worse? Deep down, people's fox complex still exists in addition to pursuing excitement and imitating western ideology. No matter how open and civilized the society is, the fox will always be a flower wandering in the night sky. Even if it blooms, it is a moment of beauty. If the class does not die, it will be difficult for the beautiful and free fox flower to bloom. Therefore, the fox is an impossible myth, which is the reason, just as Pu Songling can't love Gu.
In the studio, the lights are brightly lit, and Pu Songling thinks and writes under the lights. One gorgeous woman came out of his pen, talking and laughing, extremely cute, extremely romantic and extremely beautiful. Liaozhai is the spiritual home of a down-and-out scholar. Cleanliness, innocence, kindness, beauty, charm, cuteness, humor, wit, courage, intelligence, amorous feelings and so on. The unique temperament and virtue of these women are fully displayed in this room. In Pu Songling's works, the ancient times are still fresh and radiant.
Just think, maybe this is the reason why people like serial. "Ghost is not the ghost, nor is the monster. Cuter than a gentleman. " Because of this, why don't people like it to the extreme?
