Granny Liu did not show off her village because of her relationship with the Jia family, nor did she kick down the ladder because of Wang Xifeng's ingratitude. As soon as Granny Liu entered Guo Rongfu, she was quickly liked by the Grandmother Jia, Baoyu, Yuanyang, Pinger and others, showing her extraordinary wit, which has a lot to do with her optimistic interest in life after going through hardships. Her humor and wit, her shrewdness and ability are full of fables. Everything she does and says is a wonderful fable with philosophy. Sure enough, as Wang Xifeng expected, after her death, when her "cruel uncle" wanted to sell some money to a foreign prince, Grandma Liu bravely and tactfully rescued her. Granny Liu's specific behavior here shows the noble and witty quality of this character. She is aggressive, has a plan and a way, and doesn't care about how much trouble and danger it will bring to save this helpless orphan girl. At the beginning, it was ironic that Wang Xifeng used a little sympathy for Granny Liu in exchange for her daughter to avoid disaster. performing arts
I saw that the eggs were very small at the 40th banquet. "Granny liu stretched out chopsticks to get up. Where can she be caught? "It was noisy in the bowl, so I finally picked up one, then stretched out my neck to eat, slipped down again, rolled underground, put down my chopsticks and had to clip it myself. "When Granny Liu took the order, she put her hands together and said," All the flowers have fallen into big pumpkins ",all of which showed her outstanding performance talent. 4 1, Jia mu ordered the queen to play music. "Now Mr. Liu is dancing with joy when he hears this music and has wine. "Dai jade said it was a cow dance, which seemed to make fun of her, but in fact it was deeply allowed. Don't forget that "sacred music plays and all animals dance together" is the earliest origin of China dance art recorded in literature.
The most amazing thing is that Xifeng and Yuanyang "teased" Granny Liu: "When Grandmother Jia said" please ",Granny Liu got up and said loudly," Lao Liu, Lao Liu, you eat like a cow and don't look up after eating an old sow! " "(40) Then put down the pen to describe people's laughter:
Shi Xiangyun don't stay up, a mouthful of tea; Lin Daiyu was angry with a smile and fell on the table. Baoyu rolled into the old lady's arms early, and the old lady hugged Baoyu with a smile and called him' sweetheart'; Mrs. Wang laughed so hard that she pointed at Feng. Aunt Xue couldn't stay up, and the tea in her mouth was sprayed on Tanchun's skirt. Tanchun's tea bowls are all on Yingchun. Cherish spring got up from his seat, pulling her to call the nurse who rubbed his intestines. There is no one in the field who doesn't bend over, some hide out and squat and laugh, and some can't help but smile and change clothes for their sister. Only with the support of Xifeng and Yuanyang can Granny Liu be allowed. "
This is a set of classic shots of a dream of red mansions. But after watching her "stand up and speak loudly", "she bulged her cheeks and said nothing." Seeing this scene, I feel much more interesting than those two storytellers who have only a few tricks in 54 times. Such a superb comedy talent can be achieved by ordinary people?
Language art
Describing Jia Mu's house, she said: "Everyone says' everyone lives in a big house'. I saw the first room of the old lady yesterday, and it was equipped with a big box, a big cabinet, a big table and a big bed. It's really great. That cabinet is bigger and taller than one of our houses. " (40 times) vivid words tell the style of Jia's family. She fingered her heavy ivory chopsticks with gold. "This fork is heavier than the iron elevator in our place. Where can you move it? " Compared with the farm tools of farmers' daily life, it received a strange comedy effect. Excited, even an egg in her mouth became full of fun: "The chickens here are also very handsome, and the eggs laid are small and handsome." "A penny or two is gone without hearing the noise." She admires the beauty of the Grand View Garden, cherishes talents in spring, and is also full of interest.
After reading these two times, I only felt that Granny Liu's witty remarks made everyone laugh again and again. From her, we can see that art is not mysterious, but that in life, truly vivid and interesting art should be born with life.
Grandma Liu's comedy performance is not alone, but accompanied by Xifeng everywhere. In A Dream of Red Mansions, everyone knows that Xifeng's language art is the best, especially the use of a large number of proverbs, proverbs, slang and two-part allegorical sayings, which is a unique skill in the Red Chamber. Now grandma Liu happens to be a pair of partners with her, echoing each other from afar. Both of them are outstanding life artists.
(C) the art of poetry
Good and evil are endowed with lovers, and talents are born of affection. A lover doesn't have to write a poem, his life is a poem in itself, and his affectionate life is a wonderful poem that makes the gods cry. A lover who writes poetry with his life is a real poet. Granny Liu is such a poet who is integrated into life. And the author's pen really made her make a poem, and her poem was revealed by Jin Yuanyang's three proclamations:
The "senior" on the left is an individual-a banker.
In the middle, "three or four" is green with red-the fire killed the caterpillar.
The "Yao Si" on the right is really nice-a radish and a garlic.
This is a' flower'-the flower falls and forms a big pumpkin.
"Burning Caterpillar" and "This Ghost Embraces Zhong Kui's Leg" written by Jia Mu have the same effect, both of which are comedies. "A radish and a garlic", radish talks big, garlic talks big. Garlic has many petals and is easy to survive, which symbolizes many children and many blessings. "Cucumber" and "Records of Guangxu Shuntian Prefecture": "Cucumber can be cooked and fried to satisfy hunger, and its son can fry fruit, so the native people call it gourd." It means "green leaves are full of branches", which means that women get married and have children, implying the marriage between Qiaojie and Banel.
Although granny Liu's wine sequence is not elegant enough, it is also the ready-made nature of the bookmaker, revealing a different kind of pastoral scenery, which conforms to the poetic theory of "returning to the original" of 76 wonderful jade poems, and is much stronger than some literati poems "distorting the truth and seeking novelty". Therefore, when we read Granny Liu's wine order, we should respect it, but not dismiss it as "vulgar". What's more, her epigram of "burning a caterpillar" and "flowers falling into a pumpkin" is novel and unique, with extraordinary momentum. If she can read, she will become a poet.
artistic appreciation
At this garden party, Granny Liu paid attention to experience rather than wealth. She said, "I have experienced everything I have never seen, eaten or heard" (42 times), and in the process, I showed an extraordinary level of artistic appreciation.
She was full of praise for the beauty of the Grand View Garden, and described it as "ten times stronger than that painting" (forty times), and she appreciated both the garden and the painting. She likes the delicate flower shape of the dessert, saying, "None of our cleverest sisters here can fold this paper with scissors. I love eating, but I can't bear to eat. I will pack some home and make them some flowers. " (4 1 time)
Xi-feng brought a set of bamboo cups, and Granny Liu looked her in the eye. "What I like is incredible sculpture, the same scenery and trees, as well as cursive characters and pictures." It is the eye of an expert who knows how to appreciate tasting. Later, Miaoyu took out a bamboo cup for Baoyu and reflected back and forth with Grandma Liu's bamboo cup. It can be seen that Baoyu can appreciate what he can, and Granny Liu can appreciate it. It is these words that show that Granny Liu is connected with Baoyu and praises her for her good and evil lovers.
Grandma Liu Can leads a carefree, innocent, funny and lively daily life without losing her original nature, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Not to mention the poor and vulgar living environment around her, which is even more difficult. Grandma Liu vividly interprets the true colors of a happy, thrifty, lively and simple rural old lady.
The short story says that her nonsense provoked Baoyu to get to the bottom of it, which shows Granny Liu's ability to shake off the burden. Speaking of hearing the noise outside the house on a snowy day, I thought someone was stealing firewood, so I deliberately stopped to sell it. Provoked the grandmother's mind to follow her down, and she didn't feel involved in the play. She guessed that passing guests used firewood to keep out the cold. At this time, granny Liu shook out her baggage and said that she was a beautiful girl of seventeen or eighteen. After the luggage was shaken out, it came to a screeching halt because of a small fire in the south yard. Granny Liu knew that Grandmother Jia was tired of listening to the words in the fire, so she listened to him. Baoyu, another important figure in the Jia family, insisted on asking. Following Baoyu's hobby, she fabricated a sad story, which aroused Baoyu's pity for jade and sent Yan Ming to find a temple that did not exist. What is the level of this improvisation?
Granny Liu is full of village dialect, but she is so humorous and vivid. If everyone puts flowers on Granny Liu's head, she will joke to herself: "Although I am old, I also had an affair when I was young. I love flowers and powder, so I just want to be an old romantic today. " Rude vocabulary and rustic movements are the fundamental reasons why Grandma Liu touched everyone in the Grand View Garden. Just like Zhao Benshan's sketches, only the rural atmosphere full of black land in Northeast China won the applause of the audience. Let's imagine, if Granny Liu pretends to be gentle and says those irrelevant words, what will happen if Zhao Benshan takes another road to the city to pretend to be a gentleman? Must be an example.
Grandma Liu's performance, needless to say, is to please the master of the Jia family. She plays a clown, but she is by no means an ugly figure. She knows that everyone is making fun of her simplicity, but she enjoys it and brings joy to everyone. Granny Liu went to the mansion to play with Grandmother Jia. Grandmother Jia, Xifeng and Pinger Yuanyang all respected her. For example, Jia Mu said to the guests, "I just want to talk to an old man who has accumulated in the past." "I just want to eat a fruit and vegetable that has just grown from the ground. What you buy outside is not as delicious as what you buy in the field "(39 times). This is a fact, Jia Mu really knows life.
Granny Liu was teased, and Grandmother Jia quickly cleared the way: "Miss Xifeng, don't make fun of him. He is an honest man in the village. How can you make fun of him? " Granny Liu fell, and Grandmother Jia smiled at the maids and said, "Little hooves! If you don't pick it up, just stand and laugh. " "Did you twist your waist?" He asked with concern. Tell the maid to knock. "(39) During the dinner:" Grandmother Jia, Aunt Xue and Lady Wang all know that he is too old to support. They quickly smiled and said,' laugh, laugh, don't eat too much, just eat this cup.' "(4 1 back) Compared with the practical drunkards at the dinner party, it can be seen that Jia and others really love Granny Liu.
Granny Liu appeared in black and pink, and Grandmother Jia was so happy that she couldn't keep her mouth shut. Yuanyang was very happy and really appreciated Granny Liu. At the age of 42, Yuanyang packed for Granny Liu. I also sent a lot of clothes and playthings, and asked her to "come back when she is free" to accompany her to fetch something from Xifeng and "send Granny Liu straight to the car", which was somewhat reluctant.
Pinger is also a lover who values affection and righteousness. She is equally sincere to granny Liu. In addition to giving grandma Liu a lot of things, she even said confidently, "Don't say it outside, we are all ourselves, that's why I am like this." (42 times)
Granny Liu's nonsense naturally contains her daughter's lofty spirit, which coincides with Baoyu's heart. Baoyu understood Granny Liu's hard life and gave her Miaoyu's kiln cup. Baoyu not only does not dislike Granny Liu's vulgarity and filth, but also appreciates her affection. The author specially wrote a humble and vulgar village woman like her into Guo Rongfu and Daguan Garden, and kept writing that she entered Hongyi Courtyard and even passed out in Baoyu's bed. In order to enlighten readers, lovers in the world are like water from the source, regardless of wealth, and eventually become one vein.
Granny Liu's jokes are true. She was very considerate to old ladies, aunts, ladies and even girls in every room. She realized, "Where did the girl say that? Let's coax the old lady into being kind, but there's nothing to worry about! I will understand if you ask me first, but let's smile. If I want to be bored, I won't say it. " (40 times) Grandma Liu and Grandma Jia are similar in age and have the same feelings about the world, so they appreciate and love each other. What is rare is that she can push herself and others and be considerate. Xifeng told me that Grandmother Jia was ill by the wind. Grandma Liu quickly sighed, "The old lady is old and tired." What a natural thing it is. In the article about granny Liu's visit to the Grand View Garden, Daiyu was criticized for three things: making fun of granny Liu's story and saying, "In my opinion, it is better to pack a bundle of firewood and smoke firewood in the snow" (39 times); Ironically, Grandma Liu's dance said, "On that day, sacred music was played and all the animals danced. Now it's just a cow's ear "(4 1 time); Teasing granny Liu as "mother locust".
As we all know, Daiyu has always been like a sick beauty with a sad face and a lot on her mind. However, it is hard for us to believe that Granny Liu's trip to Guo Rong and two banquets in the Grand View Garden led to another cheerful and lively Daiyu. Look at her. When she is sad, she shows her eyebrows and laughs with her sisters. The original features her smile. "Lin Daiyu laughed so hard that she was out of breath. She just shouted,' Oh dear!'" ","laugh with your arms around your chest. " Reply to her that "drinking is out of order, so the Peony Pavilion West Chamber says something". How do you know that it is not caused by a moment of joy and ecstasy?
Who gave Daiyu this truly carefree and happy time? This person is not him, but granny Liu. Looking back at "Elegant banter complements lingering fragrance", where did Dai Yu's inspiration for elegant banter come from? Isn't it inspired by Granny Liu's previous two artistic performances? It turns out that the author intends to praise grandma Liu's artistic talent as incense. The word "fragrance" is similar to Dai Yu's chrysanthemum poem "The fragrance in the mouth sings to the moon", so it is called "adding fragrance".
Daiyu's elegant and playful words are as handy as Grandma Liu's, such as "The characters are easy, but you can't be a grasshopper", "Other grasshoppers don't draw, and yesterday's' Mother Grasshopper' doesn't draw, so there is no canon", "You draw quickly, and I even have a postscript. If you name it, it's called "eating with locusts". Daiyu's whimsy was all infected by Granny Liu's humorous comedy art. Her brainwave and her three satirical quips were all learned from Granny Liu's life art and now they are sold. Daiyu was deeply infected by Granny Liu's superb artistic talent in her life, and virtually became Granny Liu's great apprentice.
A few times ago, granny Liu made everyone laugh all the way, and 42 times, Daiyu, the eldest disciple, lived up to expectations, but still made everyone laugh: "Everyone laughed when I said it", "Everyone applauded when I heard it", "Everyone laughed when I heard it" and "Tanchun cried and laughed". More finishing work is yet to come. When Daiyu said the classic line "munching on locusts", the author did the same thing again, and everyone laughed at the book. Comparing this passage with "Lao Liu" just brought out the best in each other.
The author also raised Granny Liu's language art to the same level as that of Xifeng, Daiyu and Baochai, which shows that Cao Xueqin really intends to create a vivid and colorful scroll of life art and comedy art through Granny Liu's trip to the Grand View Garden. Dai Yu said that "Yesterday's' Mother Locust' was not painted, so it lost its canon" is actually a special reminder to Xichun, and even reminds readers that Granny Liu is the indispensable first protagonist in this amusement map of Grand View Garden.
Daiyu told three jokes gracefully. On the surface, she seems to be satirizing granny Liu, but in her heart, she writes that she loves granny Liu. Granny Liu brought a very special happy mood and artistic inspiration to Daiyu. If begonia poems and chrysanthemum poems are full of lingering poetic meaning, then Guo Rongfu and Yan Liang Grand View Garden in the Second Jin Dynasty are full of picturesque beauty. They exist in this long passage of Haitang Poetry Society, which greatly enhances the poetic artistic charm of A Dream of Red Mansions.
