Shen Meizhuang's struggle against fate——Talking from Simon de Beauvoir's "Second Sex"

Shen Meizhuang and Wen Shichu's spring breeze intoxicated at night

In "Zhen Huan Biography", Shen Meizhuang is like a chrysanthemum, indifferent and uncontested. Her noble family background makes her heart firm and high self-esteem. Her father is an official of the third grade. She herself has read "The Book of Songs", "Mencius" and "Zuo Zhuan". What a good family and tutoring presents is her inner firmness and confidence. "A woman as a woman is not so much'born' as'formed'." This is proposed by Simon de Beauvoir in the 1949 book "Second Sex". She In the book, the life and status of women are discussed in depth, and it is proposed that "it is the whole of human culture that produces the so-called "female" between male and asexual." Then we follow the perspective of "Second Sex" and take a look at the composition of the character of Shen Meizhuang:

, who resists the patriarchal culture,

, the word love has completely different meanings for men and women, which causes serious problems between them. One of the reasons for misunderstanding and even division. Byron once said: "A man's love is something different from a man's life; while a woman's love is the whole existence of a woman. There are happy moments between the emperor and Meizhuang. Those who enter the palace Xiu Nu, she was the first person to attend the bed, and the emperor also gave her the elegant title of "Cun Ju Tang" in her palace. At the beginning, Mei Zhuang was sincere to the emperor. But after experiencing the false pregnancy incident, Mei Zhuang completely She gave up her heart and decided to start from surrendering to the patriarchal culture to fighting for love. In the course of the plague, she experienced sincerity and cherishment from Doctor Wen, who risked her life to treat her illness, and bravely pursued her love. Dr. Wen gave up her daughter. said in "Second Sex": "A woman will not accept her secondary status unless she can become the primary again in this kind of renunciation. She wants to be a fascinating baby, not an object that is acquired. "

, when Meizhuang and the emperor

set foot in a unique way when she was first favored,

Nietzsche said: "If a woman loves as a woman, she can only be more feminine." Balzac said: "In the best life, The life of a man is fame, and the life of a woman is love. Only when a woman makes her life a constant dedication, as if a man's life is a constant action, she and a man are equal. " At the very beginning, the emperor gave her the power to manage the sixth house. In fact, in the eyes of the emperor, Meizhuang is more like an obedient employee with a good family background and talents. I hope that with her, it can weaken the power of Concubine Hua at that time. The emperor never thought of protecting her. He never thought that such a "skinning with a tiger" method would bring her great danger. After the carp pond incident, the emperor never thought that she would be killed, and then the fake pregnancy incident. The emperor felt that she couldn’t live with her face, so she arbitrarily gave her a "foot-free". For people with such a high spirit of Mei Zhuang, this was the hope of breaking her life. After the storm passed, Mei Zhuang decisively cut with the emperor. Love silk. But as smart and virtuous as her, she served the Queen Mother by her side, and in this unique way, she survived in the treacherous harem of the clouds, said in "Second Sex", "Countless love martyrs have proved this. This unjust destiny provides the hell of the barren land as the last salvation. " Our eyebrow village, although love is dead, but she has used her strength and wisdom to find the last self-esteem for her mother and herself.

"Second Sex" says: "Once she is no longer a parasite, the system based on her dependence will collapse; she and the world will no longer need men to act as intermediaries." in Wen Shichu While taking care of her, she became emotional with Wen Shichu, and she decisively launched an offensive. At this time, she was no longer a parasitic, but a person with an independent personality to love others. She used warm wine to have a couple with Wen Shichu. In fact, she took advantage of the emperor's status as a child. If Wen Shichu hadn't come from the palace, she would have been the best person to live in the end. And all of this, she took the initiative to fight for it, and did not use the emperor's shelter. What to gain. She is affectionate for Wen Shichu, and she did not back down and dare not fight for it, "She refused to only play her female role because she did not admit itOneself is unsound; but not acknowledging her gender is also an unsound. A man is a person with sexual characteristics, and a woman must also be a person with sexual characteristics in order to become a healthy person equal to men." .

Conclusion

Meizhuang has a strong female power, and she insists strongly on her. With Guogan, she became one of the few independent female characters in "Zhen Huan Biography". Just like Zheng Sixiao's "Han Ju", the eyebrows turn into a fragrant flower soul, which becomes radiant and bright.

flowers are not blooming in a hundred flowers. The fun of independent sparse fences is not exhausted. I would rather die with incense on the branches, and never blow it off in the north wind!
