There is a very interesting phenomenon in the Red Chamber. It's not the Jia people who consciously or unconsciously want to go into Jia's house, but the real Jia people desperately want to go out. The middle and lower classes in Jiafu value the girls of relatives more than their own daughters. The reason is very simple: their daughter "will marry sooner or later", and the girls outside have the opportunity to become the richest people in Jiafu, so they should be kind to them. Therefore, the ladies of the Jia family have become second-line or even third-line figures. From the time Daiyu entered the government, the three young ladies appeared for a group photo, and it was not until the seventeenth time that Princess Yuan was mentioned in the province. Moreover, it was only a fitting occasion, and there was not even a line, which shows to what extent it was not taken seriously.
Yuan Chun naturally said nothing, she was just a symbol of Jia's identity, just a signboard; Yingchun has long been disheartened, drifting with the tide and muddling along; Cherish spring, no parents, only a brother and sister-in-law who don't ask about the changes in temperature, which means that they have no relatives and naturally have no ability, so they have to become monks; Only Tanchun didn't want to sink, so he said, "As a man, I have already gone out to do something." Obviously, it is too early to make up your mind. Even the names of the three girls who stayed at home were unique. One is "should", resigned to fate and passive. A "pity" is sad; Only Sanwench used a more active word "exploration". She is the only one among so many women who has the courage. Although she is a middleman in the Jia family, she stays out of it and looks on coldly with the eyes of a bystander as the intrigue in the Grand View Garden.
Although I don't write much about Lady Jia's third wife, the author's description of Tan Chun is concise and lively: "Beautiful eyes and eyebrows, eager to fly, forgetting the customs", and a few words outline a smart and capable woman, while the heroic spirit of eager to fly is more decisive than Xiang Yun's innocent attitude. This is the first impression that Tan Chun gives.
Speaking of the relationship between Tanchun and her biological mother, on the surface, Tanchun is inhuman and forgetful, and just wants to climb higher, but objectively speaking, what can a weak woman do in such a troubled place? At this point, Tanchun is not as good as Yingchun. Although Yingchun is forgotten on the surface, without her mother, she is perfectly justified and lonely, and many people sympathize with her. Tanchun has her own biological mother and brother, but neither of them is allowed to go to Taiwan Province, which in turn is almost hated by everyone in Jiafu. It's better not to have her mother. It's forced by circumstances. Tanchun's attitude towards Aunt Zhao is actually very helpless. She has a mother in name, but this mother doesn't necessarily have any love for her daughter. On the contrary, she is "the first one to humiliate", but Tanchun has a protective heart. Unfortunately, her brother and mother were helpless, so Tanchun had to persuade her mother to "go back and have a good temper". It's a struggle. Why does she have to get ahead of everything? It happened that these two people only like to fight for leisure and make waves, so Tan Chun had to "mourn his misfortune and anger his indisputable".
Without the support of parents and brothers, "smarter and more ambitious" Tanchun had to protect herself. Compared with those sisters who don't ask right and wrong and don't love the world of mortals, her self-protection is more active. When the ancestors misjudged Mrs. Wang, she came out in time to clear the way. As soon as she appeared, she immediately won the recognition of authoritative sources, which also brought an opportunity for her to assist the Grand View Garden in the future. Just when many children were intoxicated with romantic feelings, Tan Chun saw through the decline behind prosperity early. The sentence "A hundred-footed worm dies without rigidity" was mentioned by Leng Zixing when he introduced Jia Fu at the beginning, and it was clearly pointed out that Jia Fu was now "worse than a generation" and was already in decline. Only Tan Chun said the same thing in the Grand View Garden, and only Tan Chun saw the essence of decline.
Tanchun secretly worried about the future of himself and the whole family representing the feudal dynasty. "I'm going to depend on you this year, and you are going. What do you think of his small garden compared with ours? " It can be seen that this matter of tanchun has been planned for a long time. When others only care about hurting spring and mourning autumn, this woman is paying attention to the economy. Compared with Xifeng, who is also worried about the future and blindly searches for property, Tanchun is thinking about the way to change, and the Grand View Garden has become her experimental field.
The failure of director Feng's abortion created a rare opportunity for Tanchun. Managing the Grand View Garden became her most brilliant achievement before she got married. A weak woman who grew up in a boudoir and didn't know anything actually launched a revolution vigorously in the Grand View Garden, "stealing Yao and Shun's words and learning from Confucius and Mencius". Even her second grandmother, who refused to admit defeat, had to say, "Although she is a girl, she knows everything in her heart, but she is cautious in her words. She knows how to read and write better than I do, which is even more powerful. " Xifeng's talents are all born, and she gambles on her heart. However, Tan Chun's talent is a combination of theory and practice, and he gambles on wisdom. It is also meritocratic to choose people in the spring. No matter how close and humble she is, she recommends Yingying's mother to take care of flowers and plants. On the contrary, Sister Bao, afraid of falling behind, turned a corner and recommended Yingying's dopted mother, which gained both benefits and fame.
When Tan Chun was in charge of the Grand View Garden, he took his positions and was in perfect order. On the surface, he is convinced from top to bottom, but after reading the article carefully, you will find that only the servants at the bottom of the Jia family are really happy and supportive. Although the upper masters of the Grand View Garden had no objection on the surface, it was not long before the second master or even the third master began to make a scene.
The first accident started in Yikang Hospital. Fang Guan and his foster mother quarreled about washing their hair. His reason for adopting a mother is: "Once you call your mother, you will be a mother all your life. If she pretends to be me, I will fight. " This principle works in small families, but it is a taboo in Grand View Garden. Musk Moon stepped forward and said, "Even your own daughter was scolded by her master for sharing a house. Moreover, the older a girl's sister is, the more unruly she is ... "Fang Guan's foster mother used to be the bottom handyman. Hongyiyuan is a place where she can't go, and many slaves who do menial work can't get in.
Then, Chun Yan revealed the essence of the problem in one sentence: "My daughter is in charge of everything on the ground. Once I get this place, it's worse than winning an eternal legacy ... not a blade of grass moves. With the division of responsibilities, and linked with their own vital interests, these women living at the bottom naturally see hope and strive to run their own inheritance, but let the "girls" who could have done whatever they want have nowhere to display and flowers and plants can't move. Even the most smug maid in Jie Bao said angrily, "If others can't mess up, I can mess up alone." Close-fitting girls can become the spokesmen of masters, which comes from Yinger's mouth. It can be seen that the system of tanchun really infringes on the interests of some people.
Yinger had an argument with Chun Yan's aunt because she broke the willow tree, and this contradiction became serious, "even her relatives' families were offended", not to mention her own family. Next, Aunt Zhao was instigated to beat Fang Guan because of the rose nitrate, which made a big scene. The contradiction is white-hot, pointing to tanchun. There is a particularly vague sentence in the article: "A bunch of people who followed Aunt Zhao outside heard it and expressed their wishes in their hearts. They all recited the Buddha and said,' There is also today. "This sentence is very abrupt. Who can Aunt Zhao call Fang Guan? It is definitely not that the lower classes hate housing management, because the following article specifically explains: "There was an old woman who hated housing management, and they all agreed. "So who is the previous sentence? Nature is a person who has a crush on Tanchun. Nothing can make Tanchun collapse more than his mother's shame. Of course, she expressed her wish. No wonder there is no pain in tanchun, so I have to blame my mother: "You come first to humiliate. "
Tanchun is now under attack between Scylla and Charybdis, the reform system is already weak, and the subsequent events began to get out of control. "Things that didn't come out", things were gradually thrown into Mrs. Wang's room. What's even more frightening is that the clean Grand View Garden has become a place to shelter evil people and practice evil practices, gathering people to gamble and having an affair in private. Both major events are in the Yingchun Room. It's really scary what role Miss Jia's "coward" plays here. At this point, we have to say that Tanchun's reform and management ultimately failed. Tanchun was disheartened by the out-of-control situation, and she was lazy. Even Daiyu, who said that she couldn't afford to get sick and stay away from right and wrong, saw Duanmao and said with a smile, "You said that people get together to drink every night, and so do we today. How to say people in the future? " Tanchun didn't answer the phone, so she had no choice but to go with the flow.
The present situation of the Grand View Garden, in the view of the ruling class, has been lawless in the hands of Tan Chun. At this point, Mrs. Wang came forward. After all, Xifeng was out of the mountain and closed down for rectification. Searching the Grand View Garden at night actually formally accepted the right to explore spring. There's nothing Tan Chun can do. When searching for Qiu Shuangzhai, Tan Chun's words were very meaningful: "Our maid was born a thief, and I was the first owner of the nest." It's not just Tanchun, how dare the girls in the room toss about without the support of their owners? Tan Chun knew this very well, because he wrote: "As we all know, such a big family ... must commit suicide from home in order to be completely defeated." This sentence is actually the center of the whole red chamber. This central point is said by Tan Chun, which shows that Tan Chun is the most sober person in the middle, but she can't do anything when she is awake alone. She just needs to "retreat early" and Tan Chun will never have a chance to shine again.
Baoyu's "Zen Ci" is not groundless, but the author's summary of Tan Chun: "Unexpectedly loyal to your government, angered the king." "What's the matter with civil affairs and military affairs? It's not as good as the boudoir. " The Grand View Garden provoked by Tan Chun finally returned to the original situation of crowing and dancing from Baoyu's birthday to Xifeng's takeover. This kind of whitewashing is what the highest level wants to see. Tanchun can only start thinking about his future after silence. I said less than family members. Although she is cold, she is also happy. Everyone is happy. There are so many people in our family that we can't see how happy we are outside, but we can't tell you how annoying we are here. I'm depressed. I'm ready to go.
When Yingchun got married, Tanchun didn't say anything, but she knew very well that she was next. Tan Chun's distant marriage was written as a tragedy, but it was actually the most positive decision made by Tan Chun after the reform of Grand View Garden. Since the Grand View Garden has hurt her and is bound to bury her, it is not bad to choose a broad road for yourself with marriage. If you don't go out, you will only fall to the point of welcoming the Spring Clouds. Tan Chun's temper will be worse, but marrying a princess of a country will provide her with a new opportunity.
Sailing Three Thousand Miles, since it is a boat trip, will definitely not marry the western regions, but will cross the ocean and make a bold guess. Recently, I thought I might go to Japan, or go directly to the west if I am far away. The west is already a capitalist society. A firework girl from the Golden Flower Competition in Qing Dynasty went to France, and she became the wife of the ambassador, known as the princess. Besides, she became a princess with dignity. With her talent for exploring spring, she should be able to feel at home outside and "do something" by herself. Even if she goes out, it's ten times better than staying in the grand view garden and waiting for the visible ending.
"Scattering the family of flesh and blood together" shows that the Grand View Garden has no nostalgia and is determined to explore the spring; "From now on, separate the two places and keep their own safety", the future is unpredictable, and Tanchun has been psychologically prepared; "The slave is gone, stay out of it", and she will never look back. With this move, Tanchun walked out of the first hurdle of the cage, and the future days were all on her own. With her courage and determination, she can create miracles and live into a legend. The proportion of tanchun in A Dream of Red Mansions is not large, but the author really admires her. Baoyu's birthday, Hongyiyuan night drinking and women's lottery are nothing more than "wind dew clearing sorrow" and "Wuling parting scenery", which cannot be separated from the appendage of the patriarchal society. Only Tanchun is arranged by the author as "Xian Pin in Yaochi", which shows that Cao Xueqin also knows that Tanchun will not be a thing in the pool for a long time. She is an alternative among the twelve women in Jinling and the most active and conscious figure in the book.
