Appreciation

Pang is the last of Jin, Ping and Mei.

Chun Mei, in Ximen Qing's house, is just a handmaiden who has been "accepted". On the importance of status, obviously can't be compared with Wu Yueniang and other wives; The amount of pen and ink does not occupy a considerable space in the first half; Is to write her and the protagonist Ximen Qing's "lewdness", but also with hidden pen and simple pen, far from being compared with Jinlian, Bottle, Wang Liuer, Mrs. Lin and Song Huilian. However, the author actually put her in the title, ranking third in the sequence. What is the secret here?

This is related to the author's conception of the whole book. Jin Ping Mei is a novel with the theme of prostitution. Starting from the word prostitution, the author ruthlessly dissects the decadent feudal society. Prostitute Ximen Qing, of course, is a cancer that focuses on surgery. Accordingly, the criticism of * * * is also the author's concern. However, Chun Mei is the only person who really died directly from "prostitution". She didn't die by the sword, by the rope, or by illness. She just felt sorry for her husband. Her death can be said to be a latecomer, which more directly and vividly expressed the author's theme of "punishing prostitution" At the same time, and Chen Jing, as two "rising stars" who fought against the decline of Ximending, are the central figures in the second half of the story. In a sense, she can be said to be the concluding figure of this book. Her death symbolizes the death of gold, vases, plums and Ximen Qing. The evil society headed by prostitution is bound to perish.

Chun Mei is not only an important chip in the book layout, but also an image with personality. Smart, arrogant, try to be brave, provocative, bent on changing their status and jumping into the ranks of wives and concubines, always impressed by slaves. When introducing her for the tenth time, the author said: "She is intelligent, loves to stir up waves, is good at coping, and is somewhat colorful." With these, goat "Ximen Qing likes him very much" and "accepts this Steve". From then on, she was flattered by Pan Jinlian to "just ask him to make the bed and fold the quilt in the room, pass tea, clothes and jewelry", do some light work, and "pick his favorite feet and pester him", and immediately became a girl with special status. She was grateful and immediately gave all her strength to Pan Jinlian. First of all, she operated on Sun Xuee for Pan Jinlian's favor and fired the first shot. Sun Xuee was originally ranked fourth among the concubines, before Pan Jinlian, but because of her humble background and slightly inferior appearance, she was not very popular. She was just a "cook" and even Chunmei didn't take her seriously. The newcomer Pan Jinlian wants to establish power in Ximen's house, and Sun Xuee is undoubtedly the most vulnerable one. So Chun Mei deliberately found Sun Xuee to fight, and then conspired with Jinlian to provoke three dozen Sun Xuee in Ximen Qing. As a result, Pan Jinlian's "one thing needs ten, the deeper he loves" has stabilized his position in Ximen's house. Therefore, Chun Mei made great contributions to the concealment of Pan Jinlian. Ximen Qing, with a whip in his hand, interrogated Pan Jinlian, who was kneeling naked on the ground, relying on Chun Mei to "sit in Ximen Qing's arms" and "be jealous" to make up a set of lies. "In a few words, Ximen Qing said nothing and lost his whip. While teaching Jinlian to get up and get dressed, Fu Qiuju looked at the vegetables and set the table for wine. "A disaster turned into joy. Later, in the whole process of attacking and framing Song Huilian, Li Pinger and Ruyi, Chun Mei was always Pan Jinlian's right-hand man. They collude with each other, collude with each other to dominate men, make waves with each other, and even have an affair with son-in-law Chen economically. In this way, Chun Mei got the favor of Ximen Qing, the head of the family, and bullied Pan Jinlian's pro-party, so he was arrogant and pretentious, which was not comparable to ordinary handmaids and maids.

However, she is not satisfied with such a slave status after all, and she is eager to formally join the ranks of her masters. In order to achieve this goal, she also spent some thoughts. The performance of scolding Li Ming in Scene 22 was quite wonderful. It turns out that musician Li Ming is Li's younger brother, and Li's second wife is from a brothel. Simon asked him to teach Ying Chun and four maids to learn pipa, Zheng and harmony. It is common for young men and women to flirt together in such an environment. One day, three maids, including Yingchun, were with Li Mingqi. "You push me, I hit you, and you are stubborn together." "A little crazy." Later, they went out to make trouble, leaving Chun Mei alone. When Li Ming taught her to play the pipa, she picked up her hand and pressed it a little harder. This Chun Mei pretended to be serious and made a long phone call. A thousand kings and eighty thousand bastards called him like a dog, which scared Li Ming to run away. She also scolded Pan Jinlian, Meng Yulou, Li Pinger, Song Huilian and others all the way, accusing him of "Yu Di Harmony", which not only scolded a Li Ming, but also hit Yingchun, Xiaoyu and spearmint, greatly raising her voice. This is just as the author said: "Unexpectedly, Li Ming was reprimanded, and Chun Mei's voice price was high." Especially later, Wu Shenxian came to tell a fortune. Among all the wives and daughters, she was able to kick them away and be very kind to each other: "Your husband is expensive and I have children" and "Give me in September." She got carried away and said to Ximen Qing, "You can't judge a book by its cover, let alone the sea. ..... Why not just be a slave in your house for a long time? " She no longer considers herself a slave. In the future, she will always fight for her "fame", coquetry, posturing, showing a look of arrogance and pride. On one occasion, Ximen Qing invited her to drink, but she insisted that "I don't want to eat in my heart", that is, I didn't drink; Advise her to have another sip of tea. She seems to have nowhere to take a sip. Ximen Qing wants to invite all the officials' wives and ask her to deliver wine. When she saw that all the wives and concubines had made new clothes, she became spontaneous, saying that she looked like "burnt paper" and insisted that Ximen Qing promise to make more pieces before she liked it, which satisfied her vanity. It's a pity that Ximen Qing died early and didn't have time to upgrade her. However, many things happen. After being sold to Zhou Shoubei, she finally climbed to the position of "lady" with her "beauty and sensitivity" and became addicted to being a "master".

The despicable slave became the master, and he was more cruel to the slave than the average master. When she became Pan Jinlian's "fake master" by virtue of her special status, she was cruel to the "servant". She abused "thief bastard" Li Minghe and "blind * * *" Shen Erjie, which is evident. Especially when treating Qiu Ju, the girl in the same room, a slave on the left and a slave on the right, always mistreats her as a master, even more cruel than the real master's means. Twenty-ninth time, I wrote that the troll Qiu Ju brought cold wine and asked Chunmei to hit ten mouths on each side of her face, but Chun Mei said, "The leather face didn't dirty my hands, mother, only taught her to kneel with a big stone!" In this way, high-handed, Qiu Ju was pulled into the yard, kneeling under a big stone in the scorching sun. Later, she really became Mrs. Zhou. In order to gouge out Sun Xuee's "immediate sore", she stubbornly found fault, stripped off her clothes and hit 30 sticks. The somebody else horizontal advised vertical advised, don't fade her shorts, but Chun Mei repeatedly attempt suicide, rogue, don't want to beat Sun Xuee * * * were raw, and then sold to prostitutes. Visible Chun Mei's mind is diabolical, even worse than Jin Ping Mei!

However, a slave is a slave after all, and her servility has not been erased because of the change of her identity. Her abuse of "servants" is precisely a manifestation of the arrogance of slaves and the success of villains. She is always grovelling before her master. Regardless of her invitation in front of Ximen Qing, Pan Jinlian and even Zhou Shoubei, just look at her attitude towards Wu Yueniang. Chun Mei used to be a maid in Yueniang's room, and later transferred to Jinlian, so she has special respect for Yueniang, not to mention Yueniang is a housewife! When Yueniang saw her off, she was rather mean, "teaching her to run out" and left all her clothes behind. Later, the situation changed again. Yueniang declined rapidly, but Chun Mei became your wife. At this time, the two sides met and remained the same:,,, and three people could not resist and had to come out. As soon as Chun Mei saw the sidewalk, he said, "It turned out to be two nuns and a big donkey!" So let the donkey start first, beautifully dressed and kowtowing. The frightened scorpion returned the gift and said,' Sister, it's not what it used to be. It hurts me to death! Chun Mei said, "What a big donkey! I'm not like that. It is natural to be superior or inferior. "It's like kowtowing to Moon after worshipping the donkey. Moon and Lou Yu also wanted to reciprocate, but Chun Mei refused to help her up, kowtowed four times and said,' I didn't know it was the girls here. If I had known it, please come out and meet her.' Wu Yueniang said, "Sister, since you left home, you have been a slave. There are no gifts in your house. I have never seen you. "Don't blame," Chun Mei said. "Good grandma, where did I come from? "How dare you say this is strange?" "Here, people accuse the moon of its thin nature and praise Chun Mei's great measures. In fact, it is understandable that Yueniang was very angry when she found Chun Mei. And Chun Mei's respect for Yueniang now is entirely based on the principle of' up and down'. " Where did the slaves come from? How dare you make trouble? "One sentence reveals her nature: she is still a slave in her bones!
