Tanchun appeared with Yingchun and Xichun in the third book to welcome Lin Daiyu to Jiafu. As soon as she came to power, the author consciously made a gentle gesture, which made her different from Yinghe: Baoyu wanted to send the word "pin" as Daiyu's word, "What do you ask?" After Baoyu explained, Tanchun laughed again. "I'm afraid you made it up again." Although it is only a sentence or two, in contrast, Yinghe has always remained silent. Careful readers will see the difference between exploring spring and welcoming spring and cherishing spring here. When Tan Chun appeared on the stage, the book described her as "thin waist, slender figure, duck egg face, fine eyes, eager to fly, excellent literary talent and forgetfulness." Among them, the word "Panfei" vividly describes her smart, smart and generous style.
Tanchun is undoubtedly an active figure in A Dream of Red Mansions, and her personality is outstanding and unique. The poems written by the two sisters when Princess Yuan visited her mother, and the poems written by Lin Daiyu buried flowers all show everyone's poetic talent. Jia Tanchun, a talented and thoughtful girl, was the first to put forward the idea of establishing a poetry club according to this situation (back to the 37th). She sent a post to Baoyu's sisters (such as a notice or invitation letter for today's meeting), inviting everyone to discuss. In "To Baoyu Tie", the story of the Lotus Club of Hui Yuan, a monk in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Xie An's invitation of friends to gather in Dongshan were cited as examples of association. However, it is worth noting that the post said: "Who is the hero of the Lotus Society, only one eyebrow; Go straight to the elegance of Dongshan and let the powder. " Who said that the establishment of a poetry club to show talent can only be a man's business, but here I advocate that we women should also have this elegant club. Although we can't say that Tan Chun is a feminist, her unyielding character is obvious. For Tanchun's creativity, Baoyu naturally "clapped his hands and said" it is high time to start a club ". Under the call of Tanchun, all the sisters responded enthusiastically and the party was cool in autumn. Tan Chun put forward the time of poetry club activities. "In January, only two or three times." He also said that "I must be the host first" and decided to open the club that day ... In short, Tan Chun is not only the founder of the poetry club, but also the "decision maker" of its activities. As a result, the first Haitang Poetry Society with female poets as the main body in Daguan Garden was born and never closed. Begonia poems were followed by chrysanthemum poems, Lu Xueguang's impromptu poems, nostalgic poems and peach blossom poems, which became the most beautiful melody in this symphony of A Dream of Red Mansions. The establishment of the poetry club is an elegant display of Tanchun's talent.
The most touching story about Tanchun in A Dream of Red Mansions is her "housekeeping skills" and her performance in "Copying the Grand View Garden".
At the beginning of the fifty-fifth chapter, it was written that Xifeng had a miscarriage (miscarried) and was recuperating at home. "She can't be a director." So, entrusted by Mrs. Wang, Tanchun also joined Li Wan and Baochai. In people's words, it is "a sea patrol hag, adding three towns and three mountains." The first problem the Tan Chun family encountered was that the housekeeper's daughters-in-law looked down on her and even deliberately made things difficult for her. For example, his wife Wu is a representative. Aunt Zhao's brother Zhao Jiguo died. How much should I be rewarded according to the routine? Wu's wife should tell Cheng about it at the same time, so as to prepare for the master's ruling. But this time, after Wu's wife Zhao reported the death, the meaning was obvious. It depends on how you three girls handle it, not to mention the special blood relationship between Zhao and Jia Tanchun, so it is a test for Tanchun. Smart Tanchun, of course, realized the sensitivity of the problem, immediately stopped Li Wan's gesture of rewarding forty taels of silver and ordered Wu Guren to tell him, but Wu Guren replied that he had forgotten it and now he wanted to check old scores. Tanchun smiled and said, "You're too old to remember, and it's hard for us. Why don't you go back and check with your second wife now? " ..... A punch line that is neither soft nor hard, but hides the needle in cotton, makes the Wu family "flushed and unable to turn around". This round, Tan Chun is obviously the strong and the winner. Tanchun checked the old scores and decided to reward twenty taels of silver as usual.
However, this decision immediately caused an uproar among Aunt Zhao. She said, "... now that your uncle is dead, you gave me twenty or thirty taels of silver, and your wife won't listen? ...... (You) don't have feathers now, so you forget that the foundation only picks high branches and flies away! " Tanchun didn't finish listening, but she was "white with anger and choked up" and began to cry. As far as blood relationship is concerned, Zhao is undoubtedly Tanchun's uncle, but in the feudal patriarchal society, this blood relationship is not recognized. She can only admit that Mrs. Wang is her mother, and her biological mother, Aunt Zhao, has become "menstruation". Therefore, she only admitted that Mrs. Wang's brother was her uncle, but not Zhao. Moreover, in her eyes, Zhao is just a servant who follows Jia Huan (this is also a fact). All this is incomprehensible to today's readers, but history is like this. This is the deformed state of feudal society and the destruction of human nature by feudal patriarchal clan system. Jia Tanchun, as a young woman of noble family, can't compete with this powerful patriarchal clan system. The most painful thing about Tanchun is that Aunt Zhao is afraid that others will not know that Jia Tanchun is raised by Aunt Zhao. "It will take two or three months to find out the source, and it will be completely tossed for a while, fearing that people will not know and deliberately confess." The life experience of an ordinary man is undoubtedly the tragedy of Tan Chun's life, and his mother, Aunt Zhao's despicable character and dark psychology have caused great depression to Tan Chun. However, it is against this background that Tan Chun, who is strong, has become a recognized leader among the sisters by virtue of her talents.
Tan Chun is a "politician" who cares most about the fate of his family. She was saddened by Jia's "suicide". In her mind, "copying the Grand View Garden" is a great shame for Jia's "suicide".
The seventy-fourth time I wrote seven copies of the Grand View Garden, and the most wonderful scene was in Tanchun Room. We might as well divide the whole process into eight levels:
1. Tanchun knew that someone was coming to check and "ordered the maids to cut the candles and open the door";
2. Declare publicly: "You can search my things, but you can't search my girl."
3. Reminiscent of the Zhen Shi family's copywriting and lament that they are "committing suicide";
4. Ask Xifeng to answer "everything" clearly;
5. Wang Shanbao's "Show the Potential to Be a Good Face" pulled up Tan Chun's skirt;
6. Tanchun was furious and hit Wang Shanbao's family with a loud slap in the face, lambasting the slave of "the dog fights the human potential";
7. When the servant satirized Wang Shanbao's family, Xifeng praised "like master, like slave";
8. Everyone encourages tanchun, and it ends.
It can be seen that Tan Chun's aversion to this scandal has reached the extreme. In the other six places that were raided, everyone was frightened, but Tanchun "cut the candle and opened the door", which in itself was a protest! She defended her maid and was not allowed to copy her things. This is also a protest! She angered Wang Shanbao. This is a protest! The reason why Tan Chun is so angry is simple. Please look at the following paragraph of Tan Chun's most "classic" explanation and exclamation:
Don't be busy, naturally there are even days of copying! You didn't say anything about Zhen's family when you got up early today, but your family's property is good. You really copied it today. We are coming gradually. It can be seen that if such a big family is killed from the outside, it will not be killed for a while. This is what the ancients once said, "A hundred-legged worm dies without being stiff", and it must commit suicide and leave home to destroy itself before it can be completely defeated!
Having said that, Tanchun has "unconsciously shed tears". Tan Chun is not a rebel of Jia's family, much less a rebel of feudal social system and ethics. On the contrary, she is the most sincere defender of the Jia family. Therefore, when she saw the reality that the building was about to collapse with a keen eye of a "politician", the sadness and remorse she aroused were stronger and more sincere than all the masters in Jia's house. It can be said that it is sincere!
However, Tan Chun's warning theory and various measures and efforts to promote advantages and eliminate disadvantages and administer the family impartially failed to save Jia's final downfall, and she finally had to marry overseas.
Beautiful tanchun is not only outstanding in talent but also elegant in taste. Although she is not as talented as Xue and Lin, she also has her own charm, and her poem Zanju is well received by her sisters. She has more "cultural taste" in dealing with things and managing the family. Compared with Xifeng, both of them are very talented and experts in family management, but their "realm" is different: Tanchun pays attention to the fate of the whole family, while Xifeng is mainly for her own self-interest; Tanchun has ideas, a sense of crisis and a sense of hardship in managing her family, while Xifeng relies entirely on improvisation, but mainly on pleasing her grandmother, which is full of vulgarity. Tanchun is a woman, but her cleverness does not make a man. Please look at the spacious autumn frost nest where she lives: the marble case is like a forest, with many precious inkstones, the wall is a big calligraphy and painting, the case is a big tripod, the shelf is a big plate of Daguan kiln, and there are dozens of "big Buddha hands" on the plate ... The room is like a person, and this non-powdery room shows the masculinity of tanchun.
