0 1, Pan Jinlian's lust

Pan Jinlian's lust includes both the desire for love and the desire for sex.

Pan Jinlian's life began in a tragic way. Her father died very early and was sold by her mother when she was 9 years old. She learns to play and sing in Wang's home, and she can read and write. I have mastered the tricks since I was a child, and the clothes I wear can not only show my figure, but also show my feminine charm. /kloc-When she was 0/5 years old, Wang died and she was sold by her mother to a large family. Zhang accepted her, and the eldest woman had a problem, so Zhang married her to Wu Da.

Many people call Pan Jinlian an an adulteress, but the author of Jin Ping Mei shows you another Pan Jinlian: she was sold as a commodity since she was a child and never met a good man. If you were someone else, you might have resigned yourself. But Pan Jinlian is not reconciled, and the author regrets for her: "Those who buy gold can't keep up with those who sell gold."

It is understandable that Pan Jinlian, who has such a rough life experience, falls in love with Song Wu, a hero who fights tigers, although it violates social morality. After being rejected by Song Wu, Pan Jinlian put down the curtain and hit Ximen Qing with a bamboo pole. "The romance is smooth and the language is sweet and clean", and the two hit it off.

It was Pan Jinlian who poisoned Wu Da. After marrying Ximen Qing, she became a concubine with five rooms, changed into a red vest (that is, a long vest) and wore six gold rings, but she became more and more anxious, angry and vicious.

On the one hand, she tried every means to please Ximen Qing; On the other hand, her fighting capacity is bursting, and she fights with Ximen Qing's wives and concubines.

Li Pinger and her son Guan Ge are her greatest enemies. So she domesticated the mother cat and captured Li Pinger's son Guan Ge. The child turned his back in fear, struggled for a few days and died. Li Pinger, who lost his son and suffered from the ghost of Pan Jinlian, died in less than a month. Pan Jinlian is almost crazy at this time.

The more unsatisfied the lust, the stronger it becomes. Because Ximen Qing was infatuated with Wang Liuer and Pan Jinlian was lewd, she gave Ximen Qing an aphrodisiac when he was drunk. Originally, one was enough, but Pan Jinlian gave him three regardless. Finally, Ximen Qing fainted, woke up and fell ill, and died a few days later. Ximen Qing's death, of course, is his own fault, but Pan Jinlian is definitely an important driving force.

Pan Jinlian is attached to Ximen Qing, which has both sentimental and taboo parts.

She expresses her feelings with great grace. She has no money, but the birthday present for Ximen Qing is elegant and chic. There is a hair clasp with a love poem engraved on it, which expresses the meaning of acacia. Ximen Qing lingered on fireworks, and wrote a love letter for him to take to Ximen Qing.

Within the boudoir, Pan Jinlian is keen to explore the physical pleasure and is willing to try his best to please Ximen Qing. She is full of passion, and half the most beautiful scenes in the book belong to her.

However, this deep love, the object is Ximen Qing. Ximen Qing kept looking for prostitutes and lovers, which made Pan Jinlian very anxious and angry.

In the era when Pan Jinlian lived, this kind of anger was unusual.

If you understand the ancient marriage system in China, which centered on men and aimed at family reproduction, you will know that jealousy is one of the "seven reasons" and one of the seven reasons why men divorce their wives. Even a wife can't be jealous, let alone a concubine. And Pan Jinlian, because of his natural strong possessiveness of love. There is nowhere to exert her strength in the wild.

Back to 38. Ximen Qing paid attention to Li Pinger, and Pan Jinlian was left out for a long time. She lives alone and can't sleep on a snowy night, so she plays the pipa. Under the eaves, the iron horse rang, and Pan Jinlian called Chunmei to see if Ximen Qing had come. Where is Ximen Qing? It's just snowing.

Pan Jinlian is not a person who loves Ximen Qing. On the contrary, just married to Ximen Qing, Ximen Qing didn't come home in the brothel, and Pan Jinlian was lonely enough to cheat. Later, he flirted with his son-in-law Chen Jingji and cheated on him.

Some critics say that Pan Jinlian's doing this reflects women's subjective consciousness and can be called an early feminist. In fact, she may not have such cognition.

For Pan Jinlian, there is no need to belittle her or raise her. There is no moral criticism, no help to Pan Jinlian, but a very calm and objective description of her struggle in love and desire, and her "crime and punishment". Such a Pan Jinlian, with rich human secrets, is definitely a unique "this one", comparable to Madame Bovary and Anna karenin in the history of world literature. The author's grasp of complex human nature is comparable to that of Dostoevsky in Russia.

A restless woman

Before Jin Ping Mei, the history of China literature was basically composed of "quiet" women such as "good wife and mother" and "beauty" in the eyes of gifted scholars. Even prostitutes are bent on being virtuous. They meet men's expectations and have no thoughts or desires of their own.

Pan Jinlian was the first woman with lust.

But lust not only made her have a unique charm, but also destroyed her. She makes people love and fear. After Ximen Qing's death, Pan Jinlian's lust remained high. He molested his son-in-law Chen Jingji at Ximen Qing's funeral and regarded him as the object of passion. In the back garden, Hu Tian Alakazam had an abortion and threw the child into the toilet. Ximen Qing's wife, Wu Yueniang, picked up a hammer and asked Wang Po to take her away and sell her.

Pan Jinlian returned to the place where she came seven years ago. We see that she is still dressed as before, watching people under the curtain, flirting or playing the piano, and hooking up with Wang Po's son again.

Such Pan Jinlian can't see his situation clearly, and there is no possibility of reflection and enlightenment. This lecherous woman who made a mess of her life finally waited for Song Wu who beat the tiger. When she heard that Song Wu was going to marry herself, she was overjoyed and thought, "My marriage is still in his hands." Even on her deathbed, she excitedly urged Song Wu: "If you want to marry a slave family, your uncle should tighten his belt."

She was blinded by her own desires and could see nothing.

The 46th time, Ximen Qing's wives and concubines told fortune, and Pan Jinlian shook her head. She said: "If he is buried in the street tomorrow, the road will be buried, and it will be a coffin if he falls into the ocean ditch." Inadvertently said his fate. After being killed by Song Wu, her body was once unclaimed and exposed in the street for several days, but Chun Mei buried her.
