A Dream of Red Mansions: How did Qingwen die? Qingwen's cause of death

For the characters in A Dream of Red Mansions, each one has its own distinctive features and different ways of dealing with people, among which Qingwen and Twelve Chai in Jinling, one of the beautiful maids in Jia Baoyu's room, are the first ones to supplement. How did the maid with the wind of Lin Daiyu die in the end? What was the cause of Qingwen's death? If you want to know, then come with me and see the relevant introduction!

How did Qingwen die?

Qingwen, one of the beautiful girls in Jia Baoyu's room, is the first of the twelve women in Jinling. Not to mention that the ancient hierarchy was very strict, and even handmaiden was divided into three classes. Qingwen is the highest among Jia Baoyu's maids.

Qingwen's life experience is unknown. Cao Xueqin did not mention Qingwen's surname, parents and hometown in A Dream of Red Mansions. About Qingwen's appearance, Qingwen written by Cao Xueqin is like this:

Water snake waist, shoulder cutting, eyebrows and eyes are somewhat like Lin Daiyu.

There are two nails on the left hand, two or three inches long, with traces of red impatiens.

His hair has loose sideburns, his shirt sags and fades, leaving a legacy of spring sleep and holding his heart.

He is more beautiful than others, and he gave birth to a Qiaozui Zhang, who dresses like a beautiful woman every day. He can get used to saying things in front of people and be better at grasping the key points. A word without speculation, set up a curse, a strange tone.

When Qingwen was seventeen years old, both Mrs. Xing and Xifeng were forced. In this woman's war, Qingwen was maliciously slandered by Wang Shanbao's family and became a victim of factional struggle between them.

Mrs. Wang listened to the slanderers and arraigned Qingwen. Qingwen was uncomfortable, and this anger was serious. In the evening, I inspected the Grand View Garden. When the group arrived at Hongyi Garden, Qingwen broke in holding her hair, opened the box with a clear voice, grabbed the foundation with both hands, and fell to the ground to enjoy everything. Wang Shanbao's family is also boring. Since then, Qingwen has gone on hunger strike.

On August 16, Qingwen, who had been on hunger strike for many days, was driven out of Jia's house by Mrs. Wang and Mammy Li. Fortunately, Baoyu knew that he was distressed by Qingwen. Later, he slipped out of the back corner door to see Qingwen. Qingwen broke off two onion nails on her left hand and gave them to Baoyu. The next day, Qingwen died tragically.

Qingwen's death is largely due to Mrs. Wang. The reason why Mrs. Wang treats Qingwen like this is probably because of Lin Daiyu. After all, Mrs. Wang doesn't like Lin Daiyu from the bottom of her heart. Therefore, Qingwen, known as "the wind of Lin Daiyu", ended up with a tragic ending and died alone.

Where is the root of Qingwen's death?

1. Baoyu's responsibility

Jia Baoyu has unshirkable responsibility for Qingwen's death. Mrs. Wang fired Qingwen because she thought "Good Baoyu" was "seduced by this hoof". Originally, many of her sons did not conform to the constraints of feudal ethics, but they artificially thought that others had lured bad things and blindly pushed the responsibility to others. This is also the most incompetent performance of Mrs. Wang as a mother. Because of Mrs. Xing's repression, Mrs. Wang had to make a decision to copy the Grand View Garden, but why did she think Baoyu was seduced? Because she has no ability to put this beloved son on the "right path". Baoyu, who was born in the children of feudal nobles, did not like reading, was not good at officialdom entertainment and did not understand the world. He only likes to be with girls, and he likes the rouge on girls' mouths best ... This is undoubtedly the rebellious image of feudal forces in the eyes of Mrs. Wang, the feudal guardian. However, Baoyu is, after all, her only son, and also the reliance of her future position. In the face of eyeing Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan, she is also in fear. Aunt Zhao, however humble, is also Jia Zheng's pillow. If anything happens to Baoyu, then her position is like a building will collapse. Jia Zhu's death exhausted her, and Baoyu was her only root seedling. So, how much she hoped Baoyu would develop according to her train of thought, but in the face of Baoyu's behavior, she could only "sigh", and she had no ability to stop Baoyu from everything. She was in a hurry to go to the hospital, so she could only objectively find the reason and blame Baoyu's beloved servant girl. This is also the main reason why Qingwen didn't end well in the end. If Baoyu understood the pains of his mother and the hardships of the maids, maybe Qingwen would not have died. We can only make such an assumption. It can be said that Baoyu was fatally wounded by a dude, and Baoyu was also responsible for the death of the girl Jin Huan. (fortune telling)

2. Victims of feudal society

The highlight of Qingwen is not that she tore a fan, but her outstanding performance in Copying the Grand View Garden. The first one is tanchun, of course. Her loud slap in the face has been listened to for 300 years, and the other is Qingwen. She "grabbed her hair and broke in, opened the box with a bang, held the foundation in her hands, and fell on the ground to enjoy everything."

Tanchun is a young lady. Susan Wang was so helpless that she didn't dare to do anything. Qingwen is a servant girl. In this case, the price she has to pay for lifting and dumping boxes is very terrible. But for Qingwen, she would rather be poor than humiliated.

Cao Xueqin loves Qingwen and even has the author's own shadow on Qingwen. I don't know how many readers in the past dynasties appreciated Qingwen, applauded her frankness, and cried and sighed for her misfortune.

Qingwen's death is a tragic situation. She died in a beautiful forest, and the wind will destroy her ... She was a victim of the feudal upper class's struggle for power and profit, and a whipping boy who was hit hard by all rumors. The death of Qingwen has also become a symbol of the transformation of Jiamendi from prosperity to decline. Qingwen's death also reflects Cao Xueqin's awakening from the darkness and closure of decadent feudal society.

This is the end of a sad song in "The Daughter of the Red Chamber", which triggered our deep thinking about life and humanity from this beautiful and intelligent daughter, and she made us realize a lot.

What are the similarities and differences between Qingwen and Xiren?

Same status, different ways of doing things.

Get to the bottom of it. Who killed Qingwen? After reading all the descriptions, I think it has something to do with her personality. Her outstanding propaganda character made her make too many enemies. She offended Lin Daiyu, who is a possible new master in the future, and xiren did a good job in this respect. Even if you are not satisfied on the surface, you will never offend Daiyu. Qingwen, on the other hand, broke Daiyu's heart because she entered the yard. One more thing, she dared to offend Sister Bao, who is respected from top to bottom, pointing at her back and saying that she always runs here when she has nothing to do ... These are the people she should win over, but she just develops according to her own personality and does whatever she wants.

It can be seen from A Dream of Red Mansions that besides Jia Baoyu, does anyone else like her? We can't see any more praise except that Wang Xifeng said a few beautiful words about her. Even if I didn't offend Mrs. Wang, I was at least a close relative of Baoyu, and I didn't maintain it well. In this respect, she has a congenital defect.

Qingwen's biggest harm is that her words are easy to hurt and offend people. Just like xiren said that she was "talking with a gun and a stick". Especially compared with her humble Xiaohong, she is even more cynical about her climbing high branches. Although Xiaohong is a girl of low status, she is the daughter of Lin Zhixiao, the housekeeper. Making enemies like this will inevitably lead to bad consequences, which is also the root cause of Qingwen's accident.

Qingwen's maverick character has no place in feudal families. In such a crisis-ridden, ethical family, the weak forces without umbrellas will tread on thin ice and have no place to stand. Qingwen's achilles heel is that there is no one to rely on. She always thought she could do it on her own, so there was no need to be such a scorpion. And she tried her best to serve Baoyu, did not please anyone, and never wanted to seduce her master. It is entirely out of an equal, simple and pure friendship.
