Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 2115 Flower Controversy (23)
A lot of metaphors are used in ancient Chinese poems. For example, the mausoleum is also called "green mound", and the friends who miss the distant place are called "chunshu muyun", the boudoir of the daughter of a rich family is "red building", and the room of a daughter of a poor family is "red building". It is "green window".

So does Dream of the Red Chamber refer to the "dream of rich houses"?

This allusion is said to come from Bai Juyi's poem "The Rich Girl in the Red Chamber". The Dream of the Red Chamber indeed tells the stories of boys and girls from rich families. compared to.Although the author tries to give them different personalities, they are almost blank except for various love affairs with Jia Baoyu and reciting poems.In contrast, "Feng Lazi" Wang Xifeng is completely upside down. She can't read a single poem, but it doesn't affect her articulateness at all, and her words are full of all kinds of allusions.

At first Nick thought it was the writer's lack of writing skills, but later he realized how realistic the author was and why the priest used seeing a doctor as an excuse to encourage women to leave the house.

If you want to have an accurate understanding of the temperament of Chinese women, you need to understand what kind of character a husband expects from his wife. For example, the society praises women for being filial and obedient, taking good care of their parents and children, and doing things quietly, so she must be trained like this since she was a child. .In addition, apart from books such as "Biography of Women", they rarely have access to other reading materials. Even when the troupe came, they could not attend the auditorium, but could only listen in the "flower hall" with a fence on the side. , Some husbands and fathers even don't allow them to do that, because the libretto in the opera troupe occasionally contains dirty jokes, which they think are not suitable for "good women" to listen to.

They were locked up in the boudoir at a very young age, and learned the knowledge needed after marriage. They did not understand human anatomy or gravity. Only when they went to the temple to burn incense or take a boat to relax, did they have the opportunity to get out of the boudoir and get in touch with the outside world. From this we can see In operas, the romantic encounters between scholars and young ladies often take place in places like temples.

This sacrifice to Mazu may be one of the few opportunities for Wanning to go out. Even if she is sitting in a sedan chair, she will still lift the curtain of the sedan chair and look at the city of Guangzhou where she has lived for three years like a newcomer.

Then Nick remembered that her eyes were only able to see clearly after surgery, so she saw everything fresh, and her eyes were still so bright hiding in the dark place of the sedan chair.

Rather than saying that this kind of education method restricts their intellectual development, "a woman without talent is virtue", it is better to say that it kills their nature. After all, men do not want to have a wife like Pan Jinlian.

This is not only because she is a slave to love, but also because of her indifference, hatred and all kinds of harmful intentions towards family affection.

In the Middle Ages, there was a religious drama called "Ordinary People". It was about a person who wanted to see the Creator after death and had to settle the good and evil of his life. It contained common life problems.

He remembered that Wu Song later became a "walker", that is, a half-haired monk.

What Wu Song committed was "anger". He killed Pan Jinlian to avenge his elder brother, completely ignoring his niece.

What Ximenqing committed was "greed". If he could exercise restraint and not indulge in such indulgences, he would not only save his life, but also take advantage of the superior conditions to live a better life than most people in Qinghe County.

"Idiot" in Buddhism refers to stupidity, but "idiot" also means obsession. Wu Song was the first man Pan Jinlian loved. When she heard his proposal, she agreed. When she saw Wu Song, the first man was She wanted to keep this marriage in her home, but she didn't think that the day she got married would be the time when she died in Huangquan.

For revenge, Wu Song doesn't care about the accusations of the people around him. Anger can go to people's minds just like love and greed.

Ximen Qing's hazy and thin rationality made him realize that the smart Pan Jinlian was not his favorite, but when he was dying, he still hoped that his wives and concubines could guard his spirit, and remember to make arrangements for Pan Jinlian when he was about to die. Jinlian's future life plan is to wait for Wu Yueniang to come and intercede for Pan Jinlian, worrying that Pan Jinlian will have no place in this family after her death.

It's hard to say whether this kind of relationship is love, but "one day a couple is a hundred days of kindness", "a person who is about to die, his words are also kind".

According to Juren, people can see ghosts before they die. Ximen Qing saw Hua Zixu and Wu Dalang standing in front of him and asked him to collect debts.

Dou E is a young woman who was framed and accused of poisoning her father-in-law. The deceased's son sued her to the government, but the stupid official, despite Dou E's repeated appeals, sentenced her to death, took her to the execution ground, and beheaded her.Afterwards, the emperor issued a decree to send high-ranking officials to investigate the people's sentiments and retry the judged cases.This senior official was Dou E's father. Of course he didn't know that he had lost his daughter forever in this murder.After he left his daughter, some changes happened, and her daughter changed her name. He didn't know all this, and he was kept in the dark.But just when he was about to read all the files of the case, he felt sleepy and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

At this moment, a ghost appeared, it was Dou E's wronged soul. She walked in, looked around, and wept bitterly.Seeing her sad look in his dream, the old man also choked up.Then he woke up suddenly, but found that there were only him and the scribe in the room, and Shushi was sleeping.There seems to be a shadow in the room that is always flickering lightly in the candlelight, and the candlelight becomes erratic, flickering, and every time the old man gets up and wants to pin the wick, the ghost will turn back the file he just read. on an unjust verdict.Finally, Dou E finally appeared in front of her father.Seeing this scene, my father couldn't help being terrified, but as soon as he recovered, he began to ask about the case, as if she was still alive.

She lives as a "person", more vivid than the ladies in the Dream of Red Mansions, although she lives in the "Green Window".

After Ximen Qing's death, Pan Jinlian was almost sold, just like those noble ladies after the collapse of the Jia family, "Feng Lazi" was also buried in a straw mat, just like she used to do with her servants.

Juren once told him a story recorded in "Strange Grass under the Firefly Window". The literati of his time liked to write ghost stories, and it was "ancient".

A man surnamed Yu became the son-in-law of a family surnamed Shen. Shen was very beautiful and liked to dress up very much. He often did his makeup in front of a mirror from the Tang and Song Dynasties.

One day, this mirror suddenly disappeared. It was the only one at home. The gold and silver jewelry on Shen’s dressing table were all intact. After a while, Yu Sheng saw an old man selling mirrors in the market. It looked very old. , so Yu Sheng bought it and gave it to his wife.

The wife took a look in the mirror and suddenly exclaimed, "Who are you?"

Unexpectedly, the mirror also made a voice, "Who are you?"

Yu Sheng was very surprised. He quickly took a look in the mirror and found a magnificent beauty standing inside. His wife couldn't compare with her at all. Yu Sheng asked who she was, and the woman in the mirror said that she was Zhu Quanzhong from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. The beloved concubine died in the rebellious army later, because she met an immortal master and used her blood to cast this mirror, and her soul was attached to this mirror.

Yu Sheng asked, "Will you bring harm?"

The woman in the mirror said, "I don't dare to cause trouble, I just want to serve you."

Yu Sheng was very happy, and asked Jing Ji what she would do. Not only could she sing, but she was also good at dancing, so Yu Sheng set up the mirror, and the couple watched Jing Ji singing and dancing together.

"I said I didn't dare to cause trouble, but this girl has disturbed the entire Shen family. If it weren't for the old man, the couple would have almost lost their lives." The old Juren told stories to Nick while eating wine and vegetables, "Remember , the tyrants listed in the history books and the women who brought disaster to the country and the people are all ghosts."

Georgiana really wanted to ask him, did He Shen and Zhongtang also change from ghosts?
There is such a story in "Yuewei Thatched Cottage" written by Ji Yun. There is an old man named Men Shirong who came to Wugou Bridge Panhe River one day. I was worrying about where I could cross the river, when I suddenly saw two men riding horses in front, they went back and forth a few times, and found a place with shallow water.Men Shirong followed them to the river, and was about to cross the river when one of them stopped his horse suddenly, waited for Men Shirong to come, and whispered: "Don't follow us, go left for more than half a mile, can you I saw a dead tree on the other side, and crossed the river from that place. The person I led was going to do something, so don’t follow.”

Men Shirong thought that the other party was a robber and hurried back, and walked forward according to his guidance, looking back at the two people while walking.Soon, Men Shirong saw that the person who was talking to him rode his horse first, and the person following behind came to the middle of the river, and was suddenly submerged by the flood, both the person and the horse were washed away, and the person in front became a group of people. The whirlwind disappeared.

Only then did Men Shirong know that this person was a revenge ghost, and the person behind him should have been his enemy.

It reminded her of A Tale of the Three Brothers, although it was a wizard's fairy tale.

Is it really the god of death who is chasing the three brothers, or is it a ghost holding a grudge?
