Basically, all the literature in China adheres to the tradition that literature is based on words. No matter what you do, it always means to persuade people to be good. Even if it is the last time, many people can find out various reasons for the decline of Jia's family.
However, the ending of Jin Pingmei is a bit confusing. Ximen Qing was a spendthrift all his life, and more than 2 women had sex with him. He was disrespectful of ghosts and gods and thought that anything could be done with money. He had a classic saying:
"When I heard about the Buddha in the Western Heaven, I just wanted to spread the floor with gold; The tenth hall of the nether world also needs some begging. All we have to do is make this furniture widely known for good deeds, so that we can rape Chang 'e, rape the Weaver Girl, kidnap Xu Feiqiong and steal the daughter of the Queen Mother of the West, and it will not reduce my extravagance! "
Look at this arrogance. Why didn't such a person end up with a sudden death? But basically, Ximen Qing's life was a sudden and sudden death, and he died at the peak of his life without suffering at all.
There used to be an old saying that there is no skeleton in repairing bridges and paving roads, and the meaning is very clear. It is probably why good people are not rewarded. This is a realistic situation.
However, in any case, there is always a natural principle in everyone's psychology, and there is always a trace of good thoughts. If you have not been rewarded in this life, then be a cow and a pig in the next life. This is the simple psychology of many people.
Many ancient literary works describe these reincarnation retribution. Even in the famous Commentary on the History of the Three Kingdoms, there is a similar statement that Cao Cao was proficient in the art of war and was reincarnated by Han Xin. Liu Bei, who made a living by weaving mats and selling shoes, was the reincarnation of Peng Yue, a fisherman, and Sun Quan was the reincarnation of Ying Bu, a hero of Jianghuai.
this kind of karma is very popular among the people, at least retaining the last hope of people for good and good, but the author of Jin Ping Mei completely shattered this last hope.
Originally, because "Jin Ping Mei" would fall into a stereotype, a final trial came, which ended with Zen master Pu Jing chanting sutras and crossing over ghosts. Many people were reincarnated, but the stereotype ending I thought shocked everyone.
The lucky ones, such as Ximen Qing, were born as Shen Yue, the second son of Shen Tong, a rich man. You see, he has been evil all his life, but he will still be a child of a rich family in his next life. Li Pinger, the daughter of conductor Yuan Tuosheng, is the daughter of an official.
and poor people will still be poor in the next life. Sun Xuee, who was sent to the poor Yao family, may be sold again in a few years; Sister Simon, Tuosheng is the daughter of Zhong Gui, a vassal outside Tokyo, and also a low-class family. Pan Jinlian was born in an ordinary family in "Tokyo", so it seems that Pan Jinlian may still be sold in the next life.
