Home has created many typical literary images with skilled artistic means. There are no fewer than 70 characters in the book, including the tyrannical, aging and decadent supreme ruler of the feudal family, the feudal parents who only represent old master Gao, the wild and cruel hypocrisy and executioner Feng Leshan, the corrupt black sheep Ke Ding, the cunning and greedy Ke'an, and so on; There are also victims of feudal morality and feudal ethics, such as Ming Feng, who dared to protest against feudal autocracy with death, meekly and kindly swallowing Miss Mei of old ethics Russia, and Rui Jue, his kind, kind and tender eldest daughter-in-law; And the images of young awakeners and rebels such as Juehui, Juemin and Qin who accept the influence of new thoughts, yearn for freedom and equality, boldly strive for openness of personality and dare to resist feudal rule. There is also an important figure Jue Xin. Although he has accepted the agitation of the May 4th new trend of thought, he is in the special position of "eldest son of a long house". He is deeply influenced by the feudal ethics, especially the "filial piety", which casts his gentle and perfect cowardly obedient character; He not only sympathized with and supported his brothers and sisters in their anti feudal struggle, but also succumbed to the pressure of feudal forces and maintained the authority of feudal rule. These characters are full of flesh and blood, distinctive personality, rich in profound historical connotation and broad practical tolerance.
The story in this family also makes people feel angry and sad. The first tragedy happened to Ming Feng. At the age of 60, old master Feng wanted to choose one of the girls in the high residence to be his little wife, and the disaster happened to 16-year-old Mingfeng. Mingfeng and Chueh Hui had a love affair, but because they were a maid and a young master, their identities were so different that this pure love did not become a tragedy. The strong Mingfeng jumped into the lake and killed herself on the night before his wedding. Mei's fate is even more tragic. She died much more cowardly than Mingfeng. Mei is Chueh Hsin's cousin. They also had love. Originally, the two families agreed to get married, but they had to break up because of their disagreement. Chueh Hsin married Jui Chueh of the Li family and regained his love; Mei also married someone else, but became a widow and went back to her mother's house. The two are still obsessed with each other. Later, she didn't get lung disease, but because her father was old-fashioned, she refused to see Western medicine and delayed treatment. Finally, she died weak with regret. Lord Gao's body is also getting worse day by day. He is about to come to the end of his life. Medicine has no effect. Under the proposal of Aunt Chen, people began to turn to feudal superstition. At first, I found a Taoist priest to chant a mantra in the hall. Late at night, Aunt Chen worshipped the Bodhisattva in the patio. Later, the three brothers Keming, Kean and Keding offered sacrifices to heaven. Finally, the old man was scared to death when a wizard came home to catch ghosts. Aunt Chen and others were told by Chueh Hui and left in shame. Another day later, the old man died. Before he died, he woke up and agreed with Chueh Hui and other young people to accept new ideas, but it was too late. Jui Chueh was the most grievous and indignant person who died. After the old man died, the feudal thought not only did not disappear, but became more serious. The funeral is full of feudal color, which is not enough. The production day of the eldest granddaughter-in-law Jui Jue is approaching. The wives say that the coffin of the elders stops at home and there is life at home. The content of this page will be a 'disaster of blood and light' if "read.4hw.com.cn" pushes the production for you. Therefore, according to the feudal concept, Jui Chueh had to move out of the city. Later, Jui Chueh had difficulty giving birth, but she could not meet Chueh Hsin. After giving birth to a son, she died with hatred.
These are four tragedies. Although they happened to several completely different people, they all exposed the evil of feudal rule. Mei and Jui Chueh are women Chueh Hsin once loved, and they are also the sadness of feudalism. Like Chueh Hsin, they are too soft and weak. For what others say, even if they know it is wrong, they should bury their pain in their own hearts. They will only obey and will not resist. Their so-called "bowing doctrine" philosophy is purely to make sacrifices in feudal society. It's a kind of luck that old master Gao woke up before he died. However, he woke up too late and had no meaning and value. He couldn't bring the slightest change to this family and society. Mingfeng, unlike ordinary people, has a strong character. Although her death is a sacrifice in vain and won't attract any attention from anyone (feudalism), she would rather die than succumb to feudalism. At least she doesn't die in a cowardly way. In short, the suffering of feudal society is far more than these. Therefore, young talents should overthrow this society and let people see the hope of a new society and a new life.
