Can be considered from the following five aspects:
First of all, Lan Zhi has no children. When he was deported, he had been married to Jiao's family for two or three years ("* * * happened in two or three years, but not for a long time"), but he still had no children. In ancient times, filial piety was emphasized. "There are three kinds of unfilial, and unfilial is the greatest." Although the cause of infertility may lie in Jiao Zhongqing, ethics at that time ignored it. This is the main reason for expelling Lan Zhi.
Second, Jiao has "Oedipus complex". In ancient times, people didn't pay much attention to birth control, but Jiao only had two children, indicating that Jiao's husband died early, and Jiao's mother lived with her son, mother and daughter for many years. However, after Lan Zhi got married, Zhong Qing "married his daughter-in-law and forgot his mother", ignoring his concern for her. Jiao's mother felt that she had taken away her son's love, so she was jealous.
Third, Jiao is in or near menopause. It can be inferred that Jiao Mu should be between 40 and 50 years old. Modern medicine has proved that women of this age are prone to emotional fluctuations, irritability and temper tantrums. This may be the potential reason why Jiao Mu was expelled from Lan Zhi.
Fourth, Jiao Mu wants to satisfy her desire for power as a mother-in-law. When Jiao is a daughter-in-law, she must be treated unfairly by her in-laws. Now, as a mother-in-law, she will transfer her pent-up emotions to her daughter-in-law, satisfy her desire for power and seek psychological balance.
Fifth, Lan Zhi will not please her mother-in-law. Although Lan Zhi's "cock crows into the weaving, he can't rest every night, and five horses are broken in three days", he still can't get the recognition of Jiao Mu. It can be seen that Lan Zhi's mouth is not "sweet" enough and he doesn't know how to "ask for instructions early and report later". Moreover, Lan Zhi's "weaving thirteen skills, cutting fourteen skills, playing fifteen skills, and reciting sixteen skills" may be somewhat arrogant, thus making "my concubine leave an empty room and often meet each other infrequently." "My heart is always bitter and sad" and I don't communicate with my mother-in-law. The mutual incomprehension between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the root of the contradiction.
Some of the above analysis undoubtedly weakened the anti-feudal ideological significance of the poem to a certain extent, but as a kind of "teasing" nature, it is not intended to overturn Jiao's conviction, and I would like to discuss with my predecessors.
On Liu Lanzhi's Personality Characteristics
Peacock Flying Southeast uses a lot of personalized character language, which makes everyone's personality come alive. One of the most prominent is Liu Lanzhi's personality characteristics. She is the hero of this poem and the object of praise and description in it. This paper intends to make a concrete analysis and research on Liu Lanzhi's personality characteristics.
First of all, Liu Lanzhi is smart, capable and polite. In the second paragraph of the poem, Langer said, "Thirteen can weave, fourteen can learn to tailor, fifteen can play and sixteen can recite poems." It can be seen that she is a hardworking, intelligent and versatile woman. After she was sent back to her parents' home, her mother scolded her for "teaching you to knit thirteen stitches and know sixteen rituals." This also confirmed Lan Zhi's self-report. In addition, soon after being sent back to her parents' home, Goro, a magistrate who was "my public servant", proposed to the son of "Jiao Yi was unmarried", which also reflected Liu Lanzhi's ability and knowledge. Liu Lanzhi: "A rooster can't be at peace every night. It's too late for adults to break five horses in three days. " Mother-in-law made things difficult for her, saying that she was too slow. Faced with this situation, Liu Lanzhi really can't stand it. Finally, he said to Jiao Zhongqing, "If I can't be driven away, I can stay and do nothing, so that I can be ashamed of myself and blame you in time." She knew that her mother-in-law would find fault with her eggs and drive her back to her family sooner or later. Might as well invite her back. It can be seen that Liu Lanzhi is both smart and strong.
Secondly, I wrote about Liu Lanzhi's loyalty. In the second natural period, Langer faced her mother-in-law's "too late" and asked her husband to "blame each other in time". Maybe some people, who only know how to cry and cry one day, are willing to be wronged, but she asks to go back to her mother's house, which shows her strength. Liu Lanzhi's strict makeup is written in the ninth paragraph. It is not a glorious thing to be sent back to her parents' house, but she must dress herself up carefully and walk with style. She won't let her mother-in-law look down on her. She wants her mother-in-law to know that she will live well without Jiao's family. The tenth paragraph describes her farewell to her mother-in-law. "I worshipped my mother in class, and my mother was angry." Liu Lanzhi is very calm, calm, without a tear, without showing any pain. This shows his loyalty.
Thirdly, I wrote that Liu Lanzhi was loyal to love. The first time she refused to get married, she faced the third young master of the county magistrate. She is young, handsome and elegant, so she is versatile. This is what many women pursue. Her mother once supported her, but she also moved her heart and advised her, "You can take it." Liu Lanzhi was unmoved by his son's position and appearance, but only thought of his clank oath with Jiao Zhongqing and his congenial feelings with Jiao Zhongqing, so he flatly refused the marriage. She said, "It is more important to write something from time to time." Adding a "self" before the word "broken" means immediately, immediately, indicating that she can hardly think, can't discuss, and immediately refuses, indicating her persistent love and loyalty. The wedding reception of the Taishou family was lively, rich and prosperous, but Liu Lanzhi was unmoved, showing her loyalty to love from the side. Finally, the tragic act of "taking off the silk shoes and carrying the body into the pool" further illustrates this point.
Finally, her rebellious spirit. Liu Lanzhi refused the Taishou family's proposal of marriage through his mother's mouth, but his brother forced him. In desperation, Liu Lanzhi promised the marriage, but he was ready to refuse. Finally, he refused the marriage by death, which showed his loyalty to love. This can best reflect her rebellious spirit, because in the face of such good conditions, plus they can't stay at home, many women will choose to get married, but Liu Lanzhi doesn't. Liu Lanzhi has different attitudes and tone towards Jiao Zhongqing, Jiao Mu, sister-in-law, brother and mother in her poems, and can also feel her oppressed and rebellious personality. In Liu Lanzhi's character, this is the most important one, and it is also the character that poetry focuses on.
To sum up, Liu Lanzhi is a smart, capable, knowledgeable, unyielding, loyal to love and rebellious woman, and a victim and rebel under the feudal patriarchal clan system.
