I have been writing back and forth for eight years, but I can't get what I want, but I can't let it go. Suddenly, generate was inspired by a moment, and finished the manuscript in 20 days. This legend, at an unusual time, should properly spit out Ruan Dacheng's thoughts.
Ruan Dacheng has been depressed since he was dismissed from office in the first year of Chongzhen and entered the "conviction reversal" two years later. At the bottom of his life, Ruan Dacheng was not out of order, but he was still constantly hit by Lin Dong, Fu She and others. He is full of grievances and wants to argue ―― self-incrimination, begging for mercy and leading an honest and clean life, and the road to reality is difficult. The main idea of "Double Gold List" is not here, but here.
In "Double Gold List", Ruan Dacheng took literary comedy to the extreme and wrote the sadness of officialdom-
Huang Fudun, a scholar in Luoyang, lost his wife, leaving a son (Zhan) to be adopted by his neighbor Zhan Yandao, and he borrowed the White Horse Temple to study. On the Lantern Festival, Ji Siyuan, the magistrate of Hongnong County, invited him to a banquet to enjoy the lanterns. The poor literati finally met a good thing, but the result made the scholar want to cry: Guangdong pirate Mo Dangsha took his clothes, disguised as a scholar, and stole the jewels and gold of the peace messenger Lan. This Xuan Mosang is determined to compete with Huang Fudun. After stealing, he deliberately left Huang Fudun's clothes and stuffed a gold letter into Huang Fudun's room.
Huang Fudun had an accident and was assigned to Guangdong. In exile, Huang Fudun accidentally met Mou Hui, who was caught in the slipshod dish of Xuan Mo Umbrella Wei Xuan Shao, regretted involving the other party, and took greater shelter. Later, Huang Fudun was adopted by his wife in Lujia and gave birth to another son, Huang Xu, only to be sued again. The Lujia people were afraid and fled to his county to live in seclusion. Huang Fudun makes a living by teaching.
Eighteen years later, Huang Fudun's two sons took part in the imperial examination, winning the first prize and exploring flowers respectively. The second son joined the party struggle because he didn't know the truth, and the brothers attacked each other. After showing these important plots, Ruan Dacheng decided to enjoy the chicken soup for the soul prepared by Meng Po Tang: the liberation of Huang Fudun, the release of the second son and the reunion of father and son.
Dreams always start with dreams. Huang Fudun, who is penniless, just wants to change his fate by reading. However, Huang Fudun's personal struggle was stopped by thieves and mediocre officials. In the fate of Huang Fudun, thieves and mediocre officials played equally important roles. There are accidents and inevitability, but they are not transferred by personal will. In the end, Huang Fudun's sons ranked first in high school, which made the protagonist extremely happy. This happy ending shows the impermanence of life's fate from another accidental angle.
The symbolic significance of "Double Gold List" lies in Ruan Dacheng's innocent victim Huang Fudun's defense of being put into the "big court case". Ruan Dacheng and Lin Dong party member once attacked each other fiercely, just like half-brothers and strangers in the play. They reported each other's attacking fathers. They are really their own fathers, full of the meaning of brothers and sisters. Ruan Dacheng sang at the end of a song through the mouth of the protagonist Huang Fudun: "I can laugh at people who are right and wrong, I am looking for distress." Why should I pull out more hair? Is it a problem in my pants? "
Ruan Dacheng said in the preface of "Double Gold List" that he created this work "with an enlightened smile". What is he laughing at? What do you mean by "enlightenment"? The profound theories in Double Gold List, Wu Meizhi's theory, have a unique understanding of the work. Wu Mei thinks that "Double Gold List" means Lindong in the East and Yudong Factory in the East. After entering Guangdong, he repeatedly said that he was a ghost and that the ghost was Wei. Disaster is also a glimpse of stealing artifacts. "According to Wu Mei's understanding, between the Party and the Yan Party, Huang Fudun's two sons are two melons on the same vine. Originally, they were one, but they were' blindly attacking low feed', which was incompatible with each other, just like' making trouble in the crotch', which was uncomfortable and meaningless.
Mr. Lu Xun once said: "Tragedy destroys the valuable things in life for people to see, and comedy tears up the worthless things for people to see." Ruan Dacheng, who wrote Seven Years of Sparse Economy and entered a political trough, examined the phenomenon of social and political life with a rational eye and continued to think about the fate of life in the form of art. The props and eyes used in Double Gold List are a pair of jade butterflies handed down from ancient times, which symbolizes fierce party struggle, but in the end it is a dream. Dreams reflect reality, and reality belongs to dreams, thus creating a comedy full of tragedy. The preface to "Double Gold List" says: "It goes without saying that a boat is full of water. To get the general idea, we must stop seeing the mountains from a mirage, make a picture of our loved ones, take pictures of all beings, and lose their hearts without knowing it. Blindly attacking and slandering, like Huangfu and his son. " Here, we can also see Ruan Dacheng's creative motivation.
