However, Qin Keqing immediately said that it was a very happy thing, and "it was also a moment of prosperity and joy" was too strange. Qin Keqing said it was a great pleasure for the princess. Why does she say this is a "moment of prosperity and joy"?
Some people think that Qin Keqing said this because Yuan Chun was a concubine for a period of time and died a few years later, so it can be described as "instantaneous prosperity and temporary joy".
In fact, this understanding is too superficial. If it is such a simple meaning, there is no need for the author to remind readers through Qin Keqing. Combined with this book, Qin Keqing's statement is meaningful.
In the spring of Yuan Dynasty, a princess was knighted, but she had no right. Thanks to film and television dramas, in the eyes of the public, women in the harem desperately want to be superior, because once they are superior, they will not only be superior to each other, but also raise their chickens and dogs to heaven.
Actually, it's not. The influence of harem women is limited to the harem, because the position in the harem is only a position, belonging to someone who has no power or influence, and it is nominal.
The so-called "one has no power and one is poor" means that the princess can only bring glory to the family, not real power, and will not bring direct benefits. For example, Wang Xifeng jokingly called Jia Lian a national uncle. This is a good reputation. When Jia Lian goes out, he will not be taken seriously because of his status as a national uncle. Because he didn't get more power because of this identity, and he didn't enjoy the benefits because of this identity.
Some people may ask, since the princess has no power and a poor reputation, but has a good reputation, why do so many people still want to take the upper position? The author gave us the answer through Xue Baochai in the thirtieth paragraph.
The thirtieth time, Jia Baoyu accosted Xue Baochai. "No wonder they compare their sister to Yang Fei. She is also rich in body and afraid of heat." Xue Baochai was furious and replied, "I look alike, but no good brother can be Yang!" "
As we all know, after Yang Yuhuan was made the imperial concubine by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the Yang family was in the limelight for a while, and even the people rushed to have daughters. However, it was cousin Yang who really got Yang Jiaquan into the ruling and opposition. Therefore, under normal circumstances, once someone in the family is in the harem, there will be fathers and brothers to follow up and play a role in an important position, so that through mutual support and support from inside and outside, glory can be transformed into real power and this glory can last longer.
This sentence of Xue Baochai is actually satirizing Baoyu: Your sister was given a princess. Do you have the ability to turn glory into real power like Yang?
Not only Baoyu didn't, but also Jia Lian, the most capable Jia family. Jia's children will only "live in peace and honor". Therefore, Princess Yuan Chun is destined to be as gorgeous as fireworks for a while and will soon dissipate.
Yuan Chun's canonization not only did not bring benefits to the family, but accelerated its decline. According to the previous analysis, in Yuan Chun, there is a princess who has no rights, but in name. There is a philosophy here: when you can't turn bits and names into real power, you will be bitten by them, because bits and names need support.
At the same time of sealing the princess in Yuan Chun, the court showed special mercy. "In addition to the grace of entering the palace on February 26, if you have a house that attaches importance to the other party's yard, you can stay in the customs. I might as well ask the imperial court to enter its private parts, so as to show the affection of flesh and blood and the friendship of family. " So Jia Fu began to build a mothering villa in Yuan Chun to welcome mothering.
When I first read A Dream of Red Mansions, I thought that the Jia family really responded to the favor of the imperial court and arranged to stay with relatives in Yuan Chun Province for the reunion of flesh and blood. Later, it was discovered that Jia Fu did this mainly for the sake of decency. The will of the imperial court clearly requires that only when you have a "home that pays special attention to other hospitals" can you arrange family visits. The book also explained by Jia Lian, "Zhou Guiren's father has been working at home to build a provincial family farewell hospital." From the status point of view, Yuan Chun is a princess, higher than the nobility, while from the status of her family, Jiafu is a sovereign government, with the highest title except the prince and the county king. In addition, the Jia rulers, headed by Jia, have always paid attention to appearance and the system that conforms to their status. Therefore, in any case, Jia Fu must build a garden to arrange Yuan Chun's relatives in the province, otherwise it will be disgraceful and humiliating.
Therefore, in order to save face, Jia Fu built the Grand View Garden under the condition that the economy was not affluent, and completed the instrument of mothering with extremely luxurious specifications. According to Jia Zhen, "In the first year of mothering, even the garden was built. You can calculate how much this note is worth, and you will know. In another two years, I will go to save my relatives. I am afraid that I am poor. "
Sure enough, by the seventy-first time, Jia's family already needed something to maintain their daily expenses.
This is what Qin Keqing called "instant prosperity, temporary happiness". It was a grand banquet in yuanchun, and the prosperity and joy reached the extreme. But later, Jia Fu declined rapidly, making ends meet, but he had to make up his face to cope with the autumn wind again and again.
In Yuan Chun, Jia Baoyu, as the representative of Jia Fu's children, was even more infatuated. Qin Keqing's "getting rich overnight and being happy overnight" is also reflected in the utilization of the Grand View Garden. This expensive nursery villa only takes one day, or one night. Later, in order to avoid the waste of the garden, Yuan Chun ordered the sisters to move in and took Jia Baoyu with them.
Jia Baoyu was originally "hanging out with the inner curtain", but before moving into the Grand View Garden, the conditions for hanging out with the inner curtain were limited and he could not do whatever he wanted. Since he moved into the Grand View Garden, he has been at home, not only far from his father's control, but also a paradise tailored for him. The hardware and software configuration is comparable to the dreamland where he swam in his dreams.
Since then, Jia Baoyu has been living in this paradise, farther away from reality and living in fantasy. In this way, the only offspring in the eyes of Rongning's second husband was completely abolished and became a dude who was "incompetent in the world and unparalleled in ancient and modern times".
Therefore, no matter from which point of view, it is actually a "very sad thing" for the Jia family that Yuan Chun sealed a princess because their children are "rich", "incompetent" and "corrupt". It brought Jia's "temporary prosperity and temporary pleasure" and also brought Jia's long-term decline.
This is a famous Greek proverb: if God wants to destroy people, he must first make them crazy. Jia Fu has developed into the fourth generation of jade, and no one can continue the family. On the contrary, everyone is satisfied with pleasure, and its demise is inevitable. Before their demise, Yuan Chun gave them an unprecedented carnival, but the carnival time was short, just "instant prosperity and temporary joy".
