Narrative poem plot
This poem, in chronological order, takes the love of Liu Lanzhi and Jiao Zhongqing and the persecution of feudal patriarchal system as the clues of contradiction and conflict. It can also be said that it is narrated according to the tragic development clues of Liu Lanzhi and Jiao Zhongqing's parting, anti-marriage and martyrdom. It exposes the evil of feudal ethics which destroys the happy life of young men and women, and eulogizes the loyal love and rebellious spirit of Liu Lanzhi and Jiao Zhongqing. The artistic images of Liu Lanzhi and Jiao Zhongqing have been successfully created. In addition to their tragic behavior, dialogue plays a decisive role in the performance of typical personality.
Liu Lanzhi is strong and respectful. He is neither subdued by coercion nor moved by glory. Knowing that her mother-in-law was going to expel her, she volunteered for "repatriation" and said to Zhongqing, "It's too late for adults to break five pigs in three days. Not for the late weaving, the monarch housewives are difficult to do, "mother-in-law said that the money is too much, can not be driven by the mother", not exalted, not inferior, very educated. Brother forced marriage, she said, "Brotherly punishment, that should be self-appointed", soft, rigid, have their own ideas. Liu Lanzhi is also a kind and gentle woman. On the one hand, she was loyal to love. "The king was a rock, the concubine was a reed, the reed was silky, and the rock was not shifted." On the other hand, she put herself in a position of "coercion, and so was the concubine."
Jiao Zhongqing's personality is also very distinct. He is loyal to love, but dares not fight directly. He can only resist passively and endure humiliation. He loved Lanzhi very much and declared that if he sent this woman today, he would never take her again. It's no wonder that "Aunt has to hear it", and "Hammer Bed will be furious". Later, when he had to leave Lanzhi for a while, he solemnly declared, "Swear not to be separated from Qing" and "Swear not to bear the burden of Heaven". He also said, "I do not drive the Qing, forced to have a mother," blunt, clear attitude. From the words of his resigned mother at home, we can see Zhongqing's rebellious character: "Today, the wind is cold, the wind destroys trees, and the frost forms orchids. My son is in the dark today, and my mother is in the latter place. It was a bolt from the blue, but Jiao Mu, the feudal parent, did not change her mind and took back her life. At last, Zhongqing disregarded Jiao Mu's advice and violated the feudal etiquette of "no filial piety, no future, no big future" and hung herself in court. Obviously, this love loyal character, like Lanzhi, is full of rebellious spirit.
Jiao Mu is a prominent negative image. She is an extremely brutal and unreasonable woman. She has no understanding and sympathy for Lanzhi's virtue and Zhongqing's love, and is determined to be arbitrary. To Zhong Qing, she threatened with evil words for a while: "I will be angry for a long time, how can you be free?" "The boy is fearless, how dare he help his wife?" At the same time, she lured with good words: "The host has a virtuous daughter, self-named Qin Luofu, pitiful body is incomparable, and the mother asks for you." The purpose of both hard and soft measures is that Zhongqing dispatches Lanzhi quickly, removes the nails in her eyes, and safeguards her parents'authority. This fully exposed the ugly nature of the feudal patriarchal system which destroyed young people.
For another negative image, Brother Liu is not very well-known, but his sexual brutality, inflammation and tendency, ugliness exposed. He said to Lanzhi, "What can you do? First you marry officials, then you marry Langjun. Whether you are as peaceful as heaven and earth is enough to honor you." If you don't marry a righteous man, what's your ambition?""What's the matter?""What's the matter?"A rude rebuke, overbearing. "First marry officials... Enough to honor you." Seeking profit and forgetting righteousness. Shen Deqian's comment on these poems said, "This is the tone of a villain who admires wealth and nobility, regardless of etiquette and righteousness." "If you don't marry a righteous man, what's your desire?" The voice outside the string is, "Do you want me to support you for a lifetime?" Under the banishment order, you can see its bitter, cruel and ruthless face, which is a typical market woman.
