? 1, Yan Jiansheng is not stingy, suffering himself and taking advantage of others. This is his general ledger. He has nothing to do with Grandet and others. He takes out 320 yuan from the pawnshop to his wife every year, no matter where the money goes. Grandet saw his wife and daughter making buttered bread for his nephew and shouted, "Are you going to bankrupt me?" Yan Jiansheng still has normal feelings. For the sake of his wife Wang, he is infatuated with a famous doctor and fried ginseng, which is unambiguous. What is particularly touching is the deep mourning for Wang. "Where is he now!" "I cried again when I was lying in bed." Just like the old man's comment: "This is also the true feelings of the husband and wife through thick and thin." It is by no means "acting" and shedding decorative tears. There is also ironclad evidence that he can't afford to get sick from now on. There is no copper smell here. As for the cat kicking out five hundred and twenty pieces of silver, it shows his unfairness and the equality and trust behind it. His wife is good at raising money. If he blindly regards money as his life, or if the author is really bent on exposing his greed for using copper coins as a millstone, he should write it in another way: his wife died and broke the money for a funeral, so he was heartbroken. He was overjoyed to see 520 pieces of glistening silver wrapped in mulberry paper, which washed away his illness and gave him the courage, strength and confidence to live a new life. We have reason to say that between wealth and human feelings, he undoubtedly values human feelings.

Generally speaking, he is a clumsy and teased figure, living a humble but humane and generous life. The latter can balance the humble and insignificant soul. Yan Jiansheng was an official all his life and only did three things. One is to eliminate the lawsuit for the evil brother and spend money; The second is to help my concubine to be righteous and deeply mourn my dead wife; The third is that two fingers finally stretched out. Many theorists used to grasp those two fingers, so he became a typical miser in China. This kind of comment actually violates the basic spirit and law of the author's characterization. Although the structure of the book urges the author to create a "flat character" who can sum up his personality in one sentence, this kind of character can leave a deep impression on people and is a typical type. But the author seems to be more interested in avoiding this situation and always designs a "corner". The right to use is not a good thing, but the author rehabilitated his "kidnapping" case. This is an extreme example. More common are people like Yu Yide and Yan. Great sages have shortcomings, while ordinary people have chivalrous deeds.

? 3. Yan Jiansheng has a disease: masochistic withdrawal syndrome. The author mainly writes about his meanness, not his meanness. The author asked him to play, and the "premise" given was "being rich and timid". He was timid and had nothing else to do, so he used money as a talisman to eliminate disasters and save the people. Settled the lawsuit for the boss and lost money for nothing, but Yan Da accused him of being weak and incompetent. He lived a humble life and died a coward. The author used his miserable life to expose his wolf-like brother and brother-in-law They swallowed his money, which was his hard-earned wealth by exchanging one for two. His life was shattered by the patriarchal system. His sad last words left his brother-in-law alone at the end of his life, telling part of his tragic reasons: "After my death, two old uncles took care of your nephew, taught him to study, and earned a place in school, so as not to be angry with me in the big house all day."

? His cringe has entered the bone marrow, and he doesn't know what the root cause is until he dies. He foolishly thought that as long as he could enter a school and make a name for himself, he could raise his head. This is, of course, a summary of his life experience, with sufficient facts. Just as we can't blame beggars for not having gold, we can't blame Yan Jiansheng for not living a different life. That is a deformed soul that is crushed. It will only treat itself cruelly and bear the burden of humiliation. He doesn't know that there is a spirit in the world called resistance, and he doesn't know that he is his own master. He is stingy for his own use, so thin that he is reluctant to buy ginseng. He is very modest, even if he is too generous to others, he looks pitiful. As for the wick, on the surface, of course, it is extremely stingy, but it reveals not so much his meanness as his distorted "smallness" in his long and humble life. This was done through his self-abuse. Although he is willing to be "altruistic", in the eyes of God or laity, he is not noble at all, but a poor man who does not do evil. His little behavior makes people laugh, and his humble soul makes people sad and pitiful. This is probably the just aesthetic feeling of an upright person to this image. The establishment of this feeling proves the success of the blending of tragicomedy and comedy factors in the works. Even today, I have to admire the author's profound intention in shaping characters and his smoothness in writing several layers of meaning.
